The holidays get a bad rep for being the reason people gain weight in the last quarter of the year. Truth is, those 2 meals won't make a dent. What does make a dent are the 100-something meals between Thanksgiving & the end of the year that people throw away because "what the hell, I already f****d up, I'll start over in January." Stop doing that.

The supplement industry is an over $100 billion industry, and a lot of that goes to trash with low quality, poorly produced, and bio-unavailable nutrients.  Today, I sit down with Bridgitte Carroll, a Functional Dietitian and founder of GutPersonal, an empowerment and education company that sells supplements. We talk today about why everyone would benefit from supplementation, and how they can make the mindset shifts necessary to invest in themselves.

Promoting optimal hormone function is a matter of optimal performance in life.  This week, Women's Hormone Health Coach, Dinara Mukh, and I dive into the basics of hormone health and some things we can implement in our own lives to optimize our hormonal cycles (or seasons, as Dinara calls them!).

"Bloating" is a big buzzword right now- gut health in general is blowing up! BUT I've found a lot of people describe what they think is bloating and it turns out they just over-ate at their last meal. It's important to know the difference, so you can better understand what the root cause of the issue is. Listen to this episode if you want to learn more about the differences and what to do to address them.

So often, we are told to listen to our bodies, but that gets really hard to do when we've spent the majority of our lives trying to overwrite what our bodies are telling us based on social norms and fads.  In this episode, I sit down with my friend Alysha Evans, NTP, and we dive into how we can start to listen to our bodies to understand what they need, and how we can rewrite the story that we have to live with the health issues we're experiencing (because we don't!).

Here's where these time-saving tips come into play, so you can enjoy your time spent in the kitchen, the food that comes out of it, and the rest of the time you get back to spend in whatever way fills up your cup.

Did you know you don't actually ovulate when you're on Hormonal Birth Control? I didn't until about a year ago- and I was on birth control from 17-26yrs old.  Whitney is in the business of educating women on their cycle, so we can be empowered to make decisions for our bodies rather than allowing external forces to make those decisions for us.

We are constantly exposed to toxins in our environment; from our food, water we drink, air we breathe, and the products we use.  Chelsea Turner and I sat down to chat about what it actually looks like to be successful on a health healing journey, and why none of the food matters as much as opening your drainage pathways.

The Fit-fluencer space can be really crowded with diet pills, quick fixes, and sexy (weird) workout plans that claim to get you the results you want yesterday. The problem? None of it will actually help you get what you really want: sustainable, long lasting change.  Want to know what will? Abby and I covered a TON in this episode, but the underlying themes centered all around support, coaching, and getting back to the basics.
