Last week we started an important conversation about hormonal weight which inevitably sent us down a rabbit hole, talking about mistakes, misconceptions, and important nuances. 

We touched on the first hormone impacting your weight loss: cortisol. So I highly recommend you go back and take a listen since everyone is impacted by stress. Click here to do that now. 

If you're already caught up, you're ready to jump into today's episode where we're going through the rest of the core weight-management hormones: estrogen,...

When you see the laundry list of health benefits you can experience from a PEMF mat, you can't help but feel your inner skeptic peering around the corner to investigate.

“Energizer bunny” “sunshine girl” “enthusiastic” “perky”.

These are the words my friends use to describe me these days. But that was NOT always the case. 

For years I could get 10 hours of sleep and still be dragging ass. No amount of coffee or naps could remove the dark cloud of fatigue that hung over me day in and day out. 

And that fatigue robbed me of so much life, so many experiences. In college...

That's what we've been told for decades, right??

Except that it isn't true... as a nation, over the past 20 years we have eaten less and moved more, and obesity is still on the rise. 

How??

Our lifestyles have been fueling metabolic dysfunction and simply dieting, counting calories, and hitting the treadmill aren't cutting it anymore.

This podcast/blog is alllll about getting to the actual root of stubborn weight.

Because far too many people are gaslit and shamed about their weight struggles.

They're made to feel like they need to starve themselves to get results.

Or like their body is simply broken and they'll never be able to have the body they want.

Or like they're just plain stupid and don't know how to count calories. 

Well the buck stops here.
