INTERMITTENT FASTING F*CKING UP YOUR CORTISOL!? (#1 Hack) ⚠️

Supplement audit and tracking apps like Subtract AI, Sepco, and other supplement ranking tools are everywhere right now — but are they actually helping your health… or giving you false confidence?   In this episode, I break down the 3 major flaws with supplement auditing apps that most people (and even doctors) overlook — especially if you're dealing with fat loss resistance, hormone imbalance, thyroid issues, HRT, or birth control.   You'll learn: • Why these apps often miss dangerous drug–supplement interactions • How they ignore your diet, nutrient intake, and deficiencies • Why they don't account for dosing, form, or timing (which completely changes how supplements work) • How they oversimplify complex hormonal health • Why your "high score" may mean absolutely nothing • When supplement apps CAN be useful vs when they become harmful • Why supplements must be personalized to your labs, diet, stress, and hormones   If you're taking a large supplement stack, using HRT or thyroid meds, or trying to lose stubborn fat — this is a MUST-listen before trusting any supplement-tracking app.

Activated charcoal is one of the most misunderstood supplements in the fat loss and hormone health world. In this episode, I break down exactly what activated charcoal actually does, whether coconut charcoal is better than bamboo, the correct dosing, the best time to take it, and the biggest mistakes that can wreck your meds and supplements if you use it wrong.   Spoiler: Activated charcoal is NOT a daily supplement. When taken too often, it can strip essential minerals and interfere with critical medications like thyroid meds, HRT, birth control, and fat loss supplements like berberine.   You'll learn: • Whether coconut charcoal is actually superior • The ideal dose (500–1,000 mg) • When to use activated charcoal (hangovers, food poisoning, mold exposure, bloating, travel) • When NOT to use it • Why you must leave a 3–4 hour buffer from meds & supplements • The best time of day to take it • Capsules vs powders • How to avoid canceling out your entire supplement stack   If you're on a fat loss journey, hormone health protocol, or taking thyroid meds or HRT, this is critical information you NEED to know before using activated charcoal.

Berberine is one of the most popular supplements for improving insulin sensitivity and supporting fat loss — but many people are using it incorrectly, stacking it unnecessarily, or taking it when they don't actually need it.   In this episode, I break down:   • What insulin resistance really is and how it affects fat storage • How berberine works like nature's metformin to support blood sugar control • The correct berberine dosage and timing for best results • Berberine phytosome vs HCl (and why bioavailability matters) • The most common berberine mistakes I see with women • When berberine is helpful — and when it's unnecessary • How GLP-1 medications and HRT already increase insulin sensitivity • Why stacking berberine with GLP-1 or HRT can create diminishing returns • How supplement overlap slows progress and wastes money • The 4 supplement category framework (metabolic, foundational, hormonal, gut)   You'll also learn how sleep, walking, strength training, cortisol balance, and an anti-inflammatory diet naturally improve insulin sensitivity — and why personalized supplement plans always outperform generic advice.   This episode is for you if you're: ✔ Struggling with insulin resistance ✔ Using berberine for fat loss ✔ On GLP-1 medications ✔ On hormone replacement therapy ✔ Taking a large supplement stack ✔ Feeling unsure about supplement overlap  

Ladies… if you keep avoiding your favorite foods because you think it'll help your fat loss… you're actually making it WAY harder.

If you're on a fat loss journey or working on hormone health, taking more supplements does not always mean better results.   In fact, over-supplementing can stall fat loss, disrupt hormones, interfere with medications, and even make you feel worse.   In this episode, I break down:   • How many supplements is too many • The most common signs you're over-supplementing • Why supplements can compete for absorption • How certain combinations can cancel each other out • Why more money spent does not equal better results • What symptoms like nausea, fatigue, brain fog, and sleep issues really mean • How I customize supplement protocols instead of using one-size-fits-all advice   You'll also learn why your nutrition, sleep, caffeine intake, and hormone profile all matter before choosing supplements — and why random TikTok recommendations often backfire.   This episode is perfect for: ✔ Women focused on fat loss ✔ Menopause and perimenopause support ✔ Insulin resistance and thyroid health ✔ Anyone feeling overwhelmed by supplements
