Episode 65: Everything You Ever Wanted to Know About Weight Loss
Today I dive deep into the mix-up between weight loss and health gain, and how that’s not always the way it plays out (quite often, it’s actually not) but it’s a societal belief and the story we hear over and over. This is really a two-part discussion and I highly recommend listening to episode 64 which is Part 1 of this topic if you haven’t done already!
Episode 64: Intuitive Eating, Health at Every Size & Weight Loss
This week we attempt to answer the question: can functional nutrition and intuitive eating coexist? Plus, our response to the NYT opinion piece “Smash the Wellness Industry”. This episode is Part 1 of a two-part discussion, so be sure to tune into episode 65 as we continue the conversation.

Episode 62: Lyme Prevention & Gut Health
Today I’m re-releasing an episode I recorded last year, almost to the day! I was originally answering a listener question about Lyme disease prevention but I ended up getting so much more into overall immune health, gut health, and everything I said is so similar to what we’re all experiencing and going through right now. Even if you’ve listened to this episode before, I encourage listening to it again.
Episode 61: Using Your Cycle to Plan Your Life - Menstruation, Ovulation & Tracking Hormones
“Every person on earth is here because of their mother’s menstrual cycle. It really makes you think: why don’t we have more reverence and appreciation for the it?”
In today’s episode I’m sitting down with Lisa Hendrickson-Jack of Fertility Friday. She is a certified Fertility Awareness Educator, a Holistic Reproductive Health Practitioner, and has a lot wisdom to share.
Episode 60: Weight Gain & Identity Loss
Maybe you’re coming around to the idea that chronic under-eating and yo-yo dieting has contributed to some of your health issues. In order to feel better (balance hormones/reduce fatigue/support fertility/support immune system) you might actually have to EAT MORE and WORKOUT LESS.
BUT WHAT THE F DO YOU IF YOU’RE SCARED SHITLESS?
What happens when the "fit, thin, healthy girl” starts to gain weight?
In this episode I interview Denver based NTP and women’s health coach Jessica Christin. Jess shares her story of disordered eating, over-exercise, and the identity crisis that came with taking charge of her health.

Why is gum health so important? What causes bad breath? and Flouride: Yes or No?
Episode 55: How to Tell if Your Blood Sugar is a Problem
Talking about blood sugar isn’t exactly sexy or glamorous. It’s for sure not winning any clickbait awards.
But blood sugar regulation is arguably one of the most important things to consider when we’re trying to put together an owner’s manual for our own healthy bodies.
The truth is that most people don’t realize just how much unstable blood sugar impacts their health -- everything from hormonal balance to thyroid function to inflammation to brain health.
Just like Ron Burgundy, blood sugar is kind of a big deal.
