Let's be real—how many times have you been told it's all in your hormones, your gut, or your lab work?So you take the supplements, cut the gluten, run the tests… and still feel like garbage.But what if the real issue isn't in your blood work… but in your brain?If you've been stuck in chronic fatigue, autoimmune flare-ups, or mystery symptoms no one can fix, this episode might just change everything.Today we're chatting with the incredible Mel Hopper Koppelman, Program Director at Synthesis Health Lab and an absolute powerhouse when it comes to helping people recover from chronic illness—even after everything else has failed.With over 15 years of clinical experience and two master's degrees in acupuncture and nutrition, Mel has developed a revolutionary approach that combines Chinese medicine, functional medicine, and developmental neurology.

Okay, let's be honest—when was the last time you actually thought about your liver?Probably… never.But here's the thing: if your hormones are out of whack, if you're struggling with perimenopause symptoms, or if weight loss feels impossible, your liver might be the missing piece.And if you're on bio-identical hormones?

That's why in this bonus episode we're going deep with another incredible success story.And in this special bonus episode we're taking a deep dive into what transforming your life through adopting the Thinlicious lifestyle actually looks like, by sitting down to chat with another one of our amazing clients, Stephanie Molina.Stephanie first joined our program in 2022 and successfully lost 35 pounds, then kept it off for more than two years. And then, like it does for so many of us, life happened.But a bump in the road doesn't have to mean a total derailment, and for Stephanie it hasn't been. But as always, it's better to hear her story in her own words.----------Our next LIVE 10 Day Sugar Detox Challenge starts Monday, April 28th, which means it's also your last chance to do this challenge with us LIVE for another few months as we only host it live a few times a year, and this will be the last one until the fall.I hope to see you there!

Have you ever found yourself standing in the kitchen at 10pm, still in your work clothes, mindlessly eating spoonfuls of ice cream straight from the container? Or maybe you've hidden candy wrappers at the bottom of the trash so nobody would know what you ate? Or sworn off sugar on Monday only to find yourself in the drive-thru by Wednesday, ordering a milkshake because "it's been a hard day"?That was me for YEARS. And if you're nodding right now, if you've ever felt powerless around sugar, like it has more control over you than you have over it, then this episode is going to change everything for you. Because today, we're diving deep into why sugar feels impossible to quit, the science behind why willpower has never worked, and the exact system I used to break free from sugar addiction once and for all. No more failed attempts, no more shame spirals, no more starting over every Monday. Just freedom. Real, lasting freedom.----------Our next LIVE 10 Day Sugar Detox Challenge starts Monday, April 28th, which means it's also your last chance to do this challenge with us LIVE for another few months as we only host it live a few times a year, and this will be the last one until the fall.I hope to see you there!

If you've listened to this podcast for any amount of time, you've probably heard me talk about gut health at least once or twice, and maybe much more than that.And there's a good reason for that.It's basically impossible to talk about health and weight loss WITHOUT eventually talking about the gut, because it is SO central to our overall health and how we feel.But when it comes to HEALING our gut, there are no simple answers.It's not just one thing. In fact, as today's guest is going to explain, it's not even all about food.So let's dive in.----------Hannah Aylward is a functional gut health practitioner and the Founder of HAN, a functional nutrition practice dedicated to helping women overcome chronic digestive issues with a root cause approach to repairing the gut.

What if losing weight didn't have to be a fight you keep losing?What if the real trick isn't willpower, but a few hard-earned lessons that actually stick?Friends, today is my birthday, and that always puts me in a reflective sort of mood.So I'm taking a look back at my health journey over the past four years, and some of the biggest lessons I've learned along the way.Because let me tell you, there's definitely some stuff I wish I'd figured out sooner.And no matter where you're at in your health journey right now, these seven lessons might just change everything for you too.----------Want to learn more about how our program can help you lose weight and get healthy FOR LIFE without dieting or drugs, then I'd love to invite you to join me for my FREE training!It will walk you through it all, and it's really good and really helpful.To get all the info and get signed up, just go to thinlicious.com/happy. 

Have you ever felt like you just don't have TIME to focus on your health right now?In fact, maybe right at this very minute, you're listening to this podcast while you multitask a hundred other things, hoping that somehow better health will magically come through osmosis.You keep meaning to slow down. You keep hoping to someday have a little more breathing room.And so you keep telling yourself it's not that bad.Today's podcast guest did the same thing. For years. And then a major health crisis forced her to reevaluate.

It's only natural to worry, right?*see end of show notes for links to all source links for supporting data for this episode.And I suppose I can only speak for myself here, but there's rarely a day that goes by that I'm not worried about SOMETHING, whether it's my kids or something in my business or the dog not eating her dinner.And a big thing I see my clients worrying about, especially when they're new to my program, is the fact that for the first time in their lives, they're being encouraged to eat MORE. And not only that, I'm telling them to eat foods that for most of their life, they've been told to stay away from—eggs, meat, cheese, butter.So they start worrying that this new way of eating can't possibly be HEALTHY.They start worrying about things like calories, and fat, and cholesterol—convinced they'll never lose weight & get healthy if they don't.And I understand why it happens. Because we've all been indoctrinated by decades of bad advice, and unfortunately it's left us all a little bit scarred and scared of the wrong things.And that's why today, I wanted to take a deep dive into real research—to really dig into exactly why those fears are off-base, what's actually holding you back when it comes to health, and how to break free with facts, not myths.So buckle up, because this is a deep one.

If you've ever struggled to lose weight as a woman over 40, then you probably already suspect that your hormones are largely to blame.And if you've been listening to this podcast for any length of time, then you've probably already picked up on the fact that I'm a little bit OBSESSED with hormones and the role they play in our overall health and well-being.Because while I'm not a doctor, I am a woman who struggled with my weight for almost 10 years before I finally figured out that the real secret to sustainable weight loss was never cutting calories or getting more exercise, but just figuring out how to balance my hormones.And it almost sounds way too simple to actually be true, but it is. And that's why today I just want want to get back to basics for a minute and talk about the BEST ways to get your hormones back on track, so that you can lose weight faster and easier.----------If you need help with detoxing from sugar, then you're in luck, because we have an AMAZING beginner program available for you called the 10 Day Sugar Detox.

Let's be honest—it's not that easy to talk about poop.And yet, pooping is a pretty big deal.It's one of the biggest indicators of metabolic health, and NOT pooping well is a huge red flag for any number of gut and health issues.So today, we're going to talk about it, with none other than the Poop Queen herself, Liz Roman.----------Get Liz's FREE Constipation Cure Guide: https://fitmomlife.com/lizFind her at her website: https://fitmomlife.com/On Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/thepoopqueen/On Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/poopqueenOr on her Podcast: https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/the-health-revival-show/id1492747637----------Want to learn more about how our program can help you lose weight and get healthy FOR LIFE without dieting or drugs, then I'd love to invite you to join me for my FREE training!It will walk you through it all, and it's really good and really helpful.To get all the info and get signed up, just go to thinlicious.com/happy. 

I know I talk a lot about the science of weight loss on this podcast. A LOT. And the reason I do that is because honestly, I think it's the most important piece of the puzzle—understanding how your body works, and why you've struggled to lose weight in the past.But that doesn't mean that there's not a lot of other factors that can play into your ability to actually LOSE weight and keep it off. And today, I want to talk about one of those other factors—the one thing that I've seen time and time again that can be the difference between success and failure in your weight loss journey.Because the truth is that even when you know EXACTLY what you need to do to lose weight, it's not always as easy as just flipping a switch and making it happen. And if you've been struggling to lose weight, or if you've lost weight in the past only to gain it all back, then you probably already know exactly what I'm talking about.It's not a lack of knowledge that's holding you back. It's what's going on inside your head. It's your mindset. And that's what we're going to be diving into today.----------Want to learn more about how our program can help you lose weight and get healthy FOR LIFE without dieting or drugs, then I'd love to invite you to join me for my FREE training!It will walk you through it all, and it's really good and really helpful.To get all the info and get signed up, just go to thinlicious.com/happy. 

Do you ever wonder if there's a secret to success with health and weight loss that you somehow just haven't been able to tap into quite yet?Maybe you've done all the things, counted all the calories, dragged yourself to the gym, tried all the diets.And yet, something just isn't clicking.Yes, maybe it's your hormones, and if you're a woman over 40 that probably does play a role.But what if there's something more? A power inside of you that you just haven't activated because you didn't know how.Today's episode might just unlock it for you.So let's dive in.----------You can find Kate at her website: https://strongbodygreenplanet.com/On her podcast, Healthification.Or on Facebook, Instagram or LinkedIn----------Get our FREE guide to finally fix your metabolism!Losing weight & getting healthy is never easy, but lately you might feel like it's suddenly become impossible.Our Flip the Switch guide will help you clearly understand what's been going on, as well as exactly what you can do to get your metabolism working again so that you can look and feel your best—it's easier and more simple than you think!

It's Inauguration Day—the dawn of a new era in the United States. For better or for worse, the next four years in this country are going to look very different than the last four years.And while the goal of today's podcast isn't to get all political on you, I did want to spend a little time talking about one particular aspect of the incoming administration that I'm pretty excited to see in action—the MAHA movement, also known as the Make America Healthy Again movement.Because whether you love President Trump or can't stand the guy, if you're listening to this podcast I'm going to assume you care about health. And if you've listened to this podcast for any amount of time, you probably already know that I'm not a huge fan of Big Food or Big Pharma, and that I firmly believe that the unchecked power and greed of those two mega industries is the primary cause of the current health and obesity epidemic in this country.But MAHA is promising to change all that, and that gets me VERY fired up.So let's talk about it.

How do you actually know when you've gone TOO FAR in your quest to get healthy? Is there really such a thing as being TOO healthy?And this is actually not an easy question to answer, because one thing I had to deal with, and something I know a lot of my clients have had to deal with also, is the disapproval of other people when you actually starting seeing some success with your health and weight loss goals.I had lots of people tell me, "you're too obsessive," "can't you take a break," "you've lost too much weight," "this can't be healthy" and so on and so on.
