What if the breath itself was a geometric event unfolding through your body?In this episode of the Sacred Geometry mini-series, Joanne explores the octahedron: the geometry of air, breath, dynamic equilibrium, and the poised relationship between opposing forces.Beginning with a single conscious breath, this conversation journeys through fascia, tensegrity, Leonardo da Vinci, Vitruvian Man, sacred mathematics, and the hidden geometric principles that shape living form from within.You'll discover:Why the octahedron represents air and dynamic equilibriumHow the diaphragm embodies geometric balance in the bodyWhat the star tetrahedron and Solomon's Seal reveal about living structuresHow breath connects “earth” and “sky” within the human formWhy Da Vinci's Vitruvian Man contains hidden sacred geometryHow tension and compression organise fascia and movementThis episode is part of an ongoing Sacred Geometry series exploring the five platonic solids and their relationship to fascia, movement, awareness, embodiment, and the deeper intelligence of life itself…

255,000 downloads. I'm blown away, and I want to say thank you, because this episode is for you.I almost didn't release an episode this week. Because honestly? The wellness space is loud right now, and the last thing I want is to be another voice making you feel like you're falling short. But that's exactly why I had to record it.I was on a walk with a friend who strength trains consistently, walks regularly, and still feels like she's not doing enough. Sound familiar? This episode is me telling you what I told her.In this episode, I'm breaking down:Why "wellness culture" has quietly become the new diet culture, and how optimization obsession is burning women outThe specific midlife triggers (hormones, aging, social media algorithms) that make us especially vulnerable to perfectionism around healthWhy tracking everything, monitoring every symptom, and consuming endless wellness advice is actually disconnecting you from your own bodyWhat sustainable, real wellness actually looks like, and why it has nothing to do with doing moreHow to give yourself full permission to dial it back and still be doing enoughIf you're exhausted by the noise around creatine, cortisol, cold plunges, fasting windows, and morning routines, this is your permission slip to exhale.Wellness is supposed to support your life, not consume it. And midlife? It's not another checklist to optimize. Let's make it the best chapter yet.Share this episode with a woman in your life who needs to hear it.

Did you grow up feeling like you were “bad with money” before you ever understood your ADHD?What if the overspending, the avoidance, the paralysis, the guilt are actually your nervous system doing exactly what it learned to do in response to fear, long before you ever had a bank account of your own?This week on The ADHD Women's Wellbeing Podcast, I'm joined by Catherine Morgan, a global speaker, author, and founder of The Money Panel®.Catherine spent 17 years as a financial adviser, so she knows the technical side of money inside out. But over time, she kept noticing the same thing: people would get the "right" advice but not be able to act on it.Catherine recognised that something else was getting in the way, which is what her work is all about now. She founded The Money Panel®, wrote the international bestseller It's Not About the Money, and has built a whole framework around the idea that our money patterns don't live in our spreadsheets... They live in our bodies.In this episode, we explore:Why money feels like a difficult conversation, and what it's really aboutHow fight, flight, freeze and fawn responses show up in our financial livesThe concept of "money as energy"Why separating our self-worth from our net worth is the first real stepWhy women tend to carry money stories differently than men and what that costs usHow financial stress shows up physically in the body, and how to work with it somaticallyWhy 2026 feels like a closing door, and 2027 a new one openingHow AI is reshaping careers and identity, and how to use it to spot the money patterns you're living insideHow EFT can help release fear-based money patterns that are stored in the bodyWhat it looks like to move beyond healing into becoming a true money visionaryCatherine brings a rare combination of financial expertise, deep psychological understanding, and lived experience to this conversation. For those of us whose relationship with money has always felt bigger, heavier, and more personal than it should, this episode offers something genuinely different to the standard budgeting apps and hacks that just don't work.This week's episode is sponsored by Understood.org, the leading nonprofit dedicated to empowering the millions of people with learning and thinking differences, like ADHD and dyslexia.

You're not stuck. You're practiced.If you've been feeling like nothing is changing… like you keep starting and stopping… like you should be further along by now—this episode will shift how you see everything.Because the problem isn't your motivation, discipline, or ability.The problem is the emotional pattern you've been rehearsing on repeat.In this episode, I break down why you feel stuck (in a way you've likely never heard before) and how your brain and body work together to keep you in the same cycle—even when you want change.And more importantly, I show you how to interrupt that pattern and start creating real momentum.What You'll LearnWhy feeling “stuck” isn't a circumstance—it's a practiced emotional stateThe hidden loop keeping you in overthinking, hesitation, and inactionHow your body gets used to certain emotions (like doubt, overwhelm, and frustration)Why change feels uncomfortable—and why that's actually a good signThe identity shift required to finally move forwardHow to start practicing a new way of being (without waiting to feel ready)Key TakeawaysYou don't have a motivation problem—you have a familiarity problemYour results come from repeated emotional patterns, not one-time decisionsThe discomfort you feel when changing means it's working, not failingYou can't create a new life from the same emotional stateSmall, consistent actions (micro-actions) are how you retrain your brain and bodyWhat's Actually Keeping You StuckIt's not your circumstances.It's not your past.It's not your lack of clarity.

In this episode, April and Jared explore the powerful connection between mental and physical health and why wellness is about far more than diet and exercise. We discuss how stress, anxiety, trauma, and burnout show up physically in the body and how healing often involves both the mind and nervous system.You'll learn:How the brain and body constantly communicateWhy emotions are biological, not just mentalHow chronic stress impacts the bodyWhat fight, flight, and freeze responses look likeWhy symptoms can be signals instead of failuresWe also break down common wellness myths, including:“If I look healthy, I must be healthy”“Stress is just part of life”“Mental and physical health are separate”“Strong people shouldn't need support”Plus, we share simple practical tools listeners can try immediately:Breathing exercises for nervous system regulationLearning where stress sits in the bodyUsing movement and nature to support emotional healthOne of the biggest reminders from this conversation: The body often speaks when the mind cannot.Your body is not working against you. It may be trying to protect you.Quotes From This Episode“Your body is not just reacting to your life. It is participating in it.”“Wellness is not just what we do with our bodies. It's how we listen to them.”“Mental health and physical health are two languages describing the same story.”If you are struggling to make peace with your body or you are having unexplainable aches and pains, call us today. 317-790–9396.

There's a moment in this conversation where something quietly shifts…Not because of a bold claim — but because of a different way of seeing.In this episode, I'm joined by Dr Elisa Medhus, a physician with over 30 years in internal medicine, who now works in the field of scalar energy healing. Alongside Emily, we explore how thoughts, intention, and energy may influence the body in ways we're only just beginning to understand. This is not about replacing medicine.It's about expanding the conversation.We talk about:What scalar energy is (in simple terms)How intention, visualisation, and emotion may influence healingThe connection between thoughts, self-perception, and physical outcomesWhy love, gratitude, and self-worth keep showing up in healing journeysAnd the idea that healing may involve more than just the physical bodyWhat stood out most wasn't the technology…It was the reminder that how we think and feel about ourselves may matter more than we realize.If you're open to exploring a different lens on healing, this is a conversation worth sitting with.Support the showTo sustain my work as a holistic psychiatrist and support my efforts to improve psychiatric treatment for all through my podcasts, articles, website, and YouTube channel, please show your appreciation and help champion holistic psychiatry by clicking HERE to contribute!Click here to listen to all of The Holistic Psychiatrist Podcast episodesContact here to email Dr. Lee directly.

Why is it that the most driven, capable, high-performing business owners are often the first to burn out? You are the one everyone relies on because you care deeply and push harder than anyone else, but you're exhausted, and the business still depends on you for everything. No matter how much you achieve, it never feels like enough. If you feel this way, it's not because you're doing something wrong; it's because you've been rewarded for over-functioning. Your business has grown because you've stepped up, taken responsibility, and carried more than anyone else. The problem is that what got you here won't get you to a sustainably profitable business that supports your life. The solution is not to do less, but to lead differently by building a self-managing, entrepreneurial team and creating systems in which decisions don't rely on you. In this episode, Kaitlyn Beaver and Dr. Sabrina Starling discuss how you can stop being the bottleneck, create time and mental space, and build a business that runs without your constant input. The key to solving burnout isn't rest alone—it's structure. Profit by Design is a Tap the Potential production. Show Highlights:The problem for entrepreneurs is that burnout exists in the background of our lives. We don't even notice it anymore!Losing faith in our team members is a sign of burnout.The real problem for business ownersDecision fatigue: one of the single biggest contributors to burnoutBuilding competence and confidence within our leadership affects our team's ability to move forward.Take a close look at the ways you are over-functioning.Begin by asking, “What do I need?”Putting limits and boundaries in place teaches us (and everyone else) that the business can continue, even when I'm not there. Is your business being led by your nervous system and how reactive you are to every little thing?The cumulative effect that brings positive changeKaitlyn's perspective on the intersection of yoga and an entrepreneurial mindsetLearning to respect the pause, the unplug, and your breath to reconnect with your bodyWhat you learn about managing burnout can benefit your team members.Structures are vital!

Beating Obesity: A Compassion-Based Approach to Lasting ChangeGuest: Jonathan BoulwareIn this powerful and deeply personal episode, Jonathan Boulware—Behavior Change Specialist, Certified Personal Trainer, Health Coach, and author of Take Control of Your Body Before It Takes Control of You—shares a compassionate and practical approach to beating obesity that goes far beyond willpower, diets, or quick fixes.Jonathan opens up about losing his mother to obesity-related health complications and how that loss led him to ask a critical question: Why do people struggle to change their habits even when their lives are at stake? Through his own journey with obesity and years of coaching experience, Jonathan discovered that the answer lies deep in the subconscious mind.He explains that 50–70% of our habits are subconscious and follow a predictable pattern:TriggerResponseRewardTrue and lasting change begins with awareness, self-love, and self-compassion—not shame or guilt.Jonathan outlines the essential foundation for successful lifestyle change:Recognizing there is a problem to solveBecoming aware of what the problem truly isUnderstanding your “why”—why this change matters to youWanting to changeBelieving that change is possibleHe then introduces his practical and motivating 4-3-2 Playbook for Success:The 4:Move your bodyWhat you eatYour mental attitudeOrganizing your life (because when you organize your time, you do have time to change your life)The 3:  Commit to the process for 3 months—a timeframe that feels realistic and achievableThe 2:  Check in on your progress every 2 weeks, measuring success not just by the scale, but by improvements in mental, emotional, physical health, and time managementThis episode is filled with hope, practical tools, and encouragement for anyone who feels stuck in unhealthy patterns and is ready to take control—one compassionate step at a time.

Welcome back! Today we're talking about staying present in a world that never stops moving… and how movement can help us find our center again. I'm really glad you're here with me today.Before we dive into this segment of the Monday Morning brew series, let's just take one slow breath together… In through the nose… And out through the mouth. Alright. Let's talk about something that's been on a lot of people's minds lately: the noise. The news. The constant stream of things we can't control. And more importantly… how we stay grounded, present, and connected to ourselves in the middle of all that.ACKNOWLEDGING THE NOISEWe're living in a time where information never stops. Your phone buzzes, the TV's on in the background, social media is updating every second… and before you even realize it, your nervous system is running a marathon you never signed up for, and listen, it's not about ignoring the world because that's not realistic. It's not about pretending things aren't happening. It's about protecting your peace so you can actually show up for your life. Because when we're overwhelmed, when we're constantly consuming, when we're reacting instead of responding… we lose the ability to be present. We lose the ability to think clearly. We lose the ability to take care of ourselves. And that's where today's conversation comes in.WHAT WE CAN CONTROL There's a lot happening out there that we can't control. But there's also a lot happening in here... in our bodies, in our routines, in our choices... that we can.Here are a few things always within your control:Your breathYour daily habitsHow you move your bodyWhat you choose to consume - mentally and physicallyHow you speak to yourselfThe boundaries you setThe way you show up for your own wellbeing...When the world feels chaotic, these become your anchors. You don't need to overhaul your life. You don't need a perfect routine. You just need one or two things that bring you back to yourself.MOVEMENT AS A MENTAL RESETNow let's talk about movement, not as a workout, not as a punishment, not as a “should”… but as a reset button. think of it as an "I get to do this"... mentality. Movement is one of the fastest ways to bring your mind back into the present moment.Here's why:It pulls you out of your head and into your bodyIt reduces stress hormonesIt clears mental fogIt helps you process emotionsIt gives your brain a break from the noiseIt reminds you that you're capable, strong, and adaptableAnd it doesn't have to be complicated.A walk. A stretch. A few squats while your coffee brews. Dancing in your kitchen. A 10-minute mobility flow. Anything that reconnects you to yourself. Movement is not about burning calories, it's about coming home to your body.Let's do something together right now. Wherever you are, sitting, standing, walking, just pause for a moment. Feel your feet on the ground, relax your shoulders, unclench your jaw, take a slow breath in…and a slow breath out… now ask yourself gently: “What's one thing I can control today?”Not ten things. Not everything. Just one. Hold onto that. Being present doesn't mean being perfect. It doesn't mean being calm all the time. It doesn't mean ignoring the world. It means choosing, again and again, to come back to yourself. To your breath. To your body. To your routines. To the things that make you feel grounded and capable. You don't have to control everything. You just have to control what's yours and when you do that consistently, even in small ways, you build resilience. You build clarity. You build a healthier relationship with yourself and the world around you.So here's your challenge for today:Give yourself five minutes of intentional movement. Not to lose weight. Not to “be good.” Not to check a box. But to reconnect with yourself. Five minutes. That's it.A walk. A stretch. A few deep breaths while you move your body gently. Whatever feels good.And while you do it, remind yourself: “I'm focusing on what I can control.”“I hope you enjoyed today's Monday morning brew series. If today's message grounded you, share it with someone who might need the reminder. Stay present, stay consistent, and keep building the identity you want to live in. Remember that You're capable, you're resilient, and you're not alone in this journey. Be a kind human, let us continue to help and to lift each-other up whenever possible... and remember that when it seems really tough, look for the helpers and always strive to be the change you want to see in the world... Until next time, take care of your body, your mind, and your space. Become a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/fittalk-with-coach-luis--3261827/support.TEAM LTP:My IG: @livetoprogressVoice-over credits

What would you do if your baby came so fast… your husband hadn't even had his morning coffee yet?Veronica planned a home birth... she just didn't plan for it to look like this: her husband catching their daughter in their bedroom, the midwife and doula still an hour away, and a baby who had absolutely no interest in waiting for anyone.And she definitely didn't plan for her placenta to be so rare that a midwife with YEARS of experience had never seen anything like it...... Or for that same placenta to be the very reason her intuition had been telling her the entire birth: do not let anyone touch me.This episode is one of the most complete birth stories I've ever had on the podcast.We are talking about the full journey:✅ The mindset work leading up to her birth✅ The daily prep (including how her toddler held her accountable to her exercises!) ✅ The birth itself (minute by minute, because you need every detail), and what happened after✅ The post-birth matrescence that I think every single person who loves a pregnant woman needs to hearVeronica came into her second pregnancy knowing she wanted something different. She just didn't know how different it would actually get.Here are some highlights from the episode:What happened at Veronica's 20-week appointment that changed her entire birth pathHow she navigated switching providers and ultimately choosing home birthThe daily prep routine she followed throughout her pregnancyThe reframing that took her from fear to fully trusting her bodyWhat happened when labor went from 0 to 100 in the middle of the nightHow her husband stepped up and caught their baby completely unexpectedlyThe rare placenta that left even the most experienced midwives speechlessHer most powerful advice for both moms and birth partnersDon't forget to RATE & FOLLOW the Pregnancy & Birth Made Easy Podcast!Leave a Review! ⭐️ Here's how >> On Apple PodcastsFind “Pregnancy & Birth Made Easy” podcastSelect “Ratings and Reviews”Click the stars!Select “Write a Review” and tell us what was the most amazing, comforting, eye-opening thing that you loved! On SpotifyFind "Pregnancy & Birth Made Easy" podcastClick the 3 dots "..."Select "Rate podcast"Click the stars and write a quick review!FOLLOW "Pregnancy & Birth Made Easy" so you never miss an episode that makes pregnancy & birth feel easier!Here's how to do it in just 2 seconds:On Apple Podcasts → Tap the “+” Follow button in the top right corner of the show page.On Spotify → Tap the “Follow” button right under the show titlesLet's Connect!Join the Course! https://www.myessentialbirth.com/getstartedEmail: hello@myessentialbirth.com.  Follow @myessentialbirth on INSTAGRAM! 

What does it look like when someone who only knew two emotions — anger and joy — finally faces the full spectrum of what they feel?That's the story Han and Alicia Lau bring to the table this week. Married 31 years, parents to six kids, grandparents to six more — and coaches who almost skipped the Core Emotion Wheel entirely.Alicia grew up in a world that told her to stifle her emotions, be a "good Christian girl," and never be "too much." The result? A life where anger and joy were the only acceptable exits — until a poolside audiobook moment changed everything.In this episode, Glenn, Phyllis, Han, and Alicia unpack what it actually takes to go from emotional resistance to emotional fluency — including the 45-minute wheel session that helped Alicia finally process her father's suicide, more than a decade after his death.In This Episode:Why Alicia threw the Core Emotion Wheel across the room (metaphorically) — and why she came back to itHow blended family dynamics (and two very different cultures) shaped emotional patterns for both Han and AliciaThe moment on their 30th anniversary that changed their marriage — doing the entire Foundations course in one weekendHan's breakthrough: how advising a client led him to take his own advice about shame and guiltAlicia's 45-minute grief wheel — and why she no longer feels her dad's death the same way in her bodyWhat it means to practice the wheel "like bad first sex" and why that's the most honest description of growth we've heardGlenn and Phyllis share their own middle-of-the-night wheel moments — and what lonely really feels like when you go deepResources Mentioned:Get the Core Emotion Wheel: www.connectioncodes.co/podcastWork with a Connection Codes Coach: connectioncodes.co/coachesFoundations Masterclass: connectioncodes.co/foundationsSEO Keywords:emotional intelligence in marriage, blended family communication, how to process grief, Core Emotion Wheel, emotional avoidance, marriage coaching, emotional health tools, processing shame and guilt, trauma healing tools, long-term marriage, mental health and relationships, connection codes, emotional fluency, suicide loss grief

What does real devotion to Jesus look like — not in theory, but in real life?In this episode, Alex walks through Matthew 27:57-61 and shows us three pictures of devotion from one of the most overlooked passages in the crucifixion story. Joseph of Arimathea, Nicodemus, and the two Marys weren't doing anything spectacular. They were just doing what was right in front of them — and God was working through all of it in ways they couldn't see.If you've ever felt like your faithfulness doesn't matter because it's not big or bold or public, this one is for you.In this episode:Why Joseph risked everything to ask Pilate for Jesus's bodyWhat the myrrh reveals about following Jesus in the mundaneWhy sitting outside a tomb is one of the most powerful acts of devotion in ScriptureHow to follow Jesus even when you can't see where He's leading

The Laws of Alignment — Episode 1: The Laws of the Body   What if your results weren't random… and your body wasn't broken?   In this episode of the Change Your Story Podcast, Hannah Dawson kicks off a powerful new series called The Laws of Alignment — where we explore the principles that govern your body, your beliefs, and your results.   Before we talk about manifestation or mindset, we start with something even more important: the laws that already govern the human body.   Inside this episode, Hannah breaks down why fat loss, muscle growth, and transformation are not about willpower or motivation — they're about understanding the systems your body already operates by.   You'll begin to see why so many women feel stuck… and what actually changes when you start working with your body instead of against it.   If you've ever thought:   • "My metabolism must be broken." • "I'm doing everything right but nothing is working." • "Maybe my body just can't change."   This episode will shift the way you see your body forever.   Because your body doesn't respond to motivation.   It responds to laws.   And once you understand them… everything starts to make sense.  

Send a textWhat is actually happening in the brain when we feel calm, overwhelmed, reactive, or grounded?In this episode of the Autonomic Homeostasis Activation Podcast, Tom Pals and Ruth Lorensson step back for a 30,000-foot view of the brain—a simple but powerful overview of the neuroscience behind how we process stress, trauma, and wellness.Rather than approaching the brain as something mysterious or overly technical, Tom breaks down its core structures using clear, accessible analogies—including the brain as a baseball mitt with a ball inside—to explain how different parts of the brain work together to help us survive, adapt, and thrive.Together they explore:Why the brain is fundamentally your ally, designed for your well-beingThe role of the prefrontal cortex in executive function, anticipation, decision-making, and problem-solvingHow the limbic system, including the hippocampus and amygdala, stores experiences and evaluates signals of reward or threatWhy your brain remembers everything you've ever experienced—even when you can't consciously recall itHow the autonomic nervous system carries signals from the brain throughout the bodyWhat happens when the brain shifts into sympathetic (fight/flight) or parasympathetic (rest and restore) statesWhy past experiences and trauma can shape how the brain interprets present situationsThe conversation highlights a key insight:Understanding the brain doesn't require becoming a neuroscientist—but having a basic map of how it works can dramatically improve how we respond to stress, relationships, and everyday challenges.Next episode we look at why the brain is actually three parts and how the original part of the brain lives in your gut.Support the showThanks for listening!You can follow us onFacebook Instagram Leave us a review on Apple Podcasts Check out the Autonomic Healing Website & InnerWorkings WebsiteEmail Tom thomasjpals@innerworkings.orgEmail Ruth ruth@bridgeandrhino.comSupport usWe appreciate you!

Cramping, bloating, cravings during your period… sound familiar? Most of us only learned how to “manage” our periods with tampons and pads — not how they actually affect our bodies or what we can do to feel better. Energy, digestion, mood, sleep, and cravings all shift across your cycle.In this episode, we share practical nutrition strategies to support your hormones and reduce common PMS and cycle-related symptoms. We dive into:Whats going on during the four phases of your menstrual cycleFour simple tips to build a hormone-friendly environment in your bodyWhat to eat (and when) to support each phase of your cycleSimple ways to manage cravings, bloating, and fatigue without extremesWhy building these habits now helps you feel better today and sets you up for long-term resilience If you've ever thought, “My period is killing me," this episode is for you. These are the same approaches we use in our 1-on-1 nutrition programs, helping you create personalized routines that ease bloating, cravings, and fatigue — with guidance that's practical, compassionate, and tailored to your unique body.NestandnurturehealthPersonalized 1:1 Care — Nest&Nurture 

If you've been feeling resentful in your open relationship, this episode is for you.In Episode 147 of Nope, We're Not Monogamous, I break down why resentment in non-monogamy is rarely about jealousy or bad communication.It's usually about boundaries.Specifically:The boundary you didn't setThe boundary you didn't enforceOr the agreement your body never truly consented toSo many people in ethical non-monogamy confuse boundaries with rules, agreements, or ultimatums. When that happens, resentment builds quietly under the surface.In this episode, we explore the difference between:Personal boundaries and relationship agreementsBoundaries and ultimatumsAutonomy and self-abandonmentIf you've ever tried to be the “cool partner,” agreed to something you weren't actually okay with, or said “I'm fine” when you weren't… this conversation will help you see what resentment is really pointing to.Because resentment isn't random.It's information.And it might be telling you it's time to stop bulldozing yourself in the name of being evolved.

In this episode, I sit down with brain-based bodywork and movement specialist Mia Esquivel to explore how reconnecting with the body can transform the way we feel, move, work, and live.With more than 26 years of experience in bodywork and structural integration, Mia brings a powerful perspective on nervous system regulation, capacity, and sustainable healing.

In this final episode of our grief series, we explore what happens when love, connection, and aliveness begin to return after loss.For highly sensitive people, grief doesn't simply disappear. It moves through the nervous system. It narrows capacity, and it reorganizes attachment. And slowly — often almost imperceptibly — it widens again.In this episode, we explore:How attachment reorganizes after the death of a loved oneWhy the return of joy can feel vulnerable (and sometimes frightening)How grief and aliveness can coexist in the same bodyWhat it means for love to expand rather than disappearHow to stay open in a grieving world without burning outThe role of nervous system regulation in sustaining compassionIf you're wondering whether it's “okay” to feel connection again…If you're noticing small flickers of warmth returning…Or if you're trying to stay open in a world that feels heavy…This episode is a gentle reminder:You don't have to rush expansion, and you don't have to choose between grief and joy. Your nervous system is designed to reorganize.This episode is part of our 3-part series on grief and the nervous system:Grief Lives in the BodyCapacity, Protection & Regulation in GriefLove, Connection & Aliveness After LossIf this series has supported you, please consider sharing it with someone walking through their own season of grief.

In this episode, we're discussing one of the fastest and most accessible ways to drop into your body and regulate your nervous system: your breath. This episode provides a clear understanding of how to use your breath strategically and intentionally for you to live your best, most successful life possible.

In today's episode we're going to talk about about a common concern I hear from women before they start focusing on eating for fertility: What if this morphs into unhealthy obsession/disordered eating? It's a great question and a fair concern. How do we balance the importance of striving for a consistently healthy diet while also maintaining a healthy relationship with food? In today's episode, we're talking all about intuitive eating, and how it can actually go hand-in-hand with eating for fertility. Here's what I break down:Why so many women are afraid that having nutrition targets will automatically turn into food obsessionWhat Intuitive Eating actually is, including the 10-principle framework created by dietitians Evelyn Tribole and Elyse Resch for eating disorder recovery, and why it wasn't specifically designed to regulate cycles, treat PCOS, or improve fertilityWhy intuitive eating and fertility nutrition are not opposites, but why nutrition education often needs to come firstHow our cravings, “healthy meal” ideas, and food rules are shaped by upbringing and diet cultureWhy many gut-health habits, like eating enough fiber or fermented foods, are not naturally intuitiveWhy extreme calorie restriction can slow your metabolism and negatively affect ovulationWhy ignoring hunger cues can damage trust with your bodyWhat “making peace with food” really means to me, including letting go of “good” and “bad” food languageHow I personally had to learn to honor fullnessWhy your hormones respond to consistent patterns over time, not one imperfect mealWhy women with PCOS are at higher risk for eating disorders, and the red flags I want you to watch for, like anxiety around social meals, skipping events, compensatory exercise, or obsessive trackingThe difference between intentional, flexible nourishment and punishing, rule-following eatingHow to adjust protein and blood sugar targets when life is hectic without falling into all-or-nothing thinkingAnd why your nutrition plan should calm your nervous system, not stress you out+so much moreConnect with Lauren:Get my FREE PCOS Guide hereJoin the Empowered Path to Pregnancy hereInstagramWork With MeThank you so much for listening to the About Health and Hormones Podcast!

In this Think Thursday episode, we explore how the human brain evolved to use discomfort as information—and what happens when modern life removes nearly all friction, effort, and delay.Our brains weren't designed for constant comfort. Discomfort once served as critical feedback, helping guide behavior, attention, rest, and problem-solving. But in today's world of instant gratification and instant relief, discomfort is often treated as a problem to eliminate rather than a signal to interpret.This episode unpacks why that shift matters for brain health, motivation, resilience, and long-term satisfaction—and how intentional discomfort can support a hedonic reset.In this episode, we discuss:Why discomfort evolved as a key feedback mechanism in the human brainHow instant relief interrupts the brain's ability to learn from discomfortThe difference between regulation and comfort from a neuroscience perspectiveHow highly concentrated, low-effort rewards shape motivation and satisfactionThe concept of hedonic adaptation and why “enough” keeps movingWhat a hedonic reset actually is (and what it isn't)How intentional discomfort supports nervous system regulationThe role of dopamine, effort, and delay in sustaining motivationWhy distress tolerance is a foundational skill for behavior changeHow identity shifts through repeated, slightly uncomfortable choicesExpert perspectives referenced:Dr. Anna Lembke, author of Dopamine Nation, on pleasure–pain balance and modern reward concentrationDr. Andrew Huberman on dopamine signaling, effort, and motivationJames Clear on identity following behaviorInspiration from a conversation on the Mel Robbins Podcast with Dr. LembkeOne gentle experiment to try this week:Choose one moment per day when you notice mild discomfort—boredom, restlessness, or the urge to distract—and pause instead of fixing it.Examples:Standing in line without reaching for your phoneSitting with boredom for 60–90 secondsLetting an urge rise and fall without reactingNotice:Where you feel the sensation in your bodyWhat thoughts show upWhether the feeling changes on its ownThis isn't about forcing discomfort or pushing through distress. It's about teaching your nervous system that discomfort is tolerable and temporary—and that awareness alone can create change.Key takeaway:Discomfort isn't a problem to solve. It's information to work with.In a culture built around instant relief and effortless reward, intentional discomfort can be a powerful way to restore balance, protect motivation, and support long-term brain health. ★ Support this podcast ★

You've probably heard of GLP-1 drugs like semaglutide and tirzepatide—and maybe you've even wondered, “Should I be on one of these?” This conversation is my honest, compassionate take on these powerful weight loss medications: not medical advice, not fear-mongering, and definitely not hype.In this episode, I unpack what GLP-1 receptor agonists (a class of anorectic drugs) really are, how they work, why they're so effective for fat loss—and what most people don't realize about what happens when you stop taking them. I'll walk through recent research, potential side effects, and the rebound weight gain that happens to so many… not because you failed, but because of basic human physiology.This is a supportive conversation for anyone who's considering these medications, already using them, or just wants to better understand their role in the weight loss space. And while there's no shame in using tools like these, lifestyle change still has to be the foundation. Always.What we go over:What GLP-1 drugs actually do in your bodyWhat happens after you stop taking them (and why)Why muscle loss and metabolic slowdown are often overlookedThe importance of strength training, protein, and movement—even with medsWhy long-term success still comes down to habits, not just prescriptionsHow to think critically and compassionately about weight loss toolsThese drugs are effective—but they're not magic. Let's have the real conversation.Sources:Quarenghi M, Capelli S, Galligani G, Giana A, Preatoni G, Turri Quarenghi R.

Have you been told that your thyroid — or hypothyroidism — is the reason you're dealing with fatigue, brain fog, weight gain, dry skin, constipation, bloating, or digestive issues that seem to keep piling up?Have you started thyroid medication or supplements, only to feel maybe a little better… but still not like yourself?Or maybe your doctor is telling you that your labs are “normal,” but you're still suspicious thyroid might have something to do with it — and you want to know how you can support your thyroid safely to boost your energy, digestion, and metabolism? If any of that sounds familiar, then this episode is for you. Today we're continuing the Real Root Cause Series, where I'm taking conditions that are commonly labeled as root causes — and breaking down to you what their REAL root causes are. This is super powerful because understanding a fake vs. real root cause is the difference between healing from your symptoms... or not. Today's topic is: thyroid health — specifically hypothyroidism. This episode might ruffle some feathers, because I'm going to make the case that hypothyroidism itself is not a true root cause. That doesn't mean your symptoms aren't real. And it definitely doesn't mean your labs don't matter. But it doesmean that something else is driving why your thyroid hormones aren't working the way they should. In this episode, I'm walking you through:Why thyroid medication alone often doesn't fully resolve symptomsHow you can have “normal” labs and still have hypothyroid symptomsHow thyroid hormones are actually made, converted, and used in the bodyWhat this has to do with finding (and testing for) the real root causes to thyroid imbalanceWhat gut health has to do with thyroid healthAnd what needs to be addressed underneath your thyroid for your symptoms to truly improve If you're ready to understand your thyroid better than you ever have, plus have the tools you need to support your thyroid (and whole body health) beyond medication - then this episode is for you.

Welcome back to the Sisterhood of S.W.E.A.T., where we help women build strength from the inside out. Today, we're taking a deep dive into the root of human vitality — the minerals that power every cell in your body. Our guest, Caroline Alan, is the co-founder of BEAM Minerals and a passionate educator on the critical role humic and fulvic substances play in cellular function. Years ago, Caroline found herself stuck in chronic inflammation, adrenal burnout, brain fog, anxiety, and full-body depletion while navigating a stressful corporate career. No matter what supplements she tried, nothing worked — until she discovered humic and fulvic minerals. What happened next completely changed her life. Within months, her inflammation calmed, her adrenals began recovering, her sleep normalized, and her energy returned. A follow-up test showed her adrenal function restored — even though she never took the hydrocortisone her doctor prescribed. The only change she made was adding minerals back into her body. Today, Caroline and her co-founder, Dan Howard, have built BEAM Minerals into one of the cleanest, most trusted mineral lines available — helping thousands restore balance, energy, and resilience at the cellular level. If you've been feeling drained, foggy, anxious, or "off," this conversation will change how you think about minerals, nutrition, and cellular health. UNDERSTANDING MINERALS STARTS IN THE CELLS 1. Caroline's Turning Point What was happening in your body before you discovered minerals? What symptoms were the biggest red flags that something was wrong? How did you find humic and fulvic minerals, and what changes showed up first? 2. Why Modern Humans Are Mineral-Depleted How does soil depletion affect the nutrient content of our food? Can organic food solve the problem, or is supplementation now essential? Why stress, toxins, and processed foods drain minerals faster than we realize. 3. Recognizing Mineral Depletion Common signals: fatigue, anxiety, brain fog, poor sleep, cravings, dehydration, or hormonal instability. Are there accurate ways to test for mineral status? Why hair analysis and tools like Oligoscan may provide better insight than blood tests. 4. Getting Minerals Back Into the Body What makes humic and fulvic minerals different from typical mineral supplements? Why the body absorbs minerals only when they're delivered in the right ratios. What people should know about electrolyte packets, mineral blends, and isolated supplements. How to begin replenishing safely and effectively. 5. Real Results & Cellular Homeostasis How restoring mineral balance changes energy, sleep, mood, and hormone function. Why cellular homeostasis is the foundation of vitality.   BEAM Minerals https://beamminerals.com Mineral Geek (Educational Resource) https://mineralgeek.com Instagram — Caroline Alan https://instagram.com/carolinealan.official Discount for Sisterhood of Sweat Listeners: Code: SOS SWEAT (all caps) for 20% off

What if the patterns you're trying so hard to change didn't start with you — but they can end with you?In this powerful, heart-opening conversation, I'm joined by Alyssa Scarano, LPC, NCC, founder of The Collective Therapy & Wellness and a deeply compassionate guide for anyone navigating the terrain of trauma, relationships, and emotional healing.Together, we explore the tender, transformative work of breaking generational cycles — the subtle ways childhood wounds shape our relationships, the urge to overexplain in order to feel understood, and the craving for validation that so many high-achieving women silently carry.Alyssa beautifully unpacks how environments that didn't feel emotionally safe can echo into adulthood, influencing how you parent, communicate, and relate to yourself. We talk about the difference between fear and intuition, how to listen to your body instead of just your thoughts, and why pain often becomes the invitation to rise into a new chapter of self-trust.You'll hear us dive into:Generational patterns passed down through silence, survival, or emotional chaosThe longing to feel seen, and what happens when you stop overexplaining and start honoring your truthReparenting yourself while parenting your kidsTrauma-informed ways to rebuild safety in your own bodyWhat it really looks like to cultivate relationships that feel aligned, not drainingThis episode is an invitation to soften into your own healing, rewrite what love looks like, and become the cycle breaker your lineage has been waiting for.If you're ready to step into a life rooted in self-trust, emotional safety, and authentic connection — this one will land deeply.Connect with Alyssa: website: www.collective-therapy.comInstagram: @live.collective.wellnessFacebook: https://www.facebook.com/collective.therapy.wellness/✨ Sacred Boundaries: Scripts for Saying No with Love ✨If you've ever felt the pressure to say “yes” when your whole body was begging you to say “no,” you're not alone. So many high-achieving, heart-centered women struggle with guilt, fear of disappointing others, or worry that boundaries will push people away.But the truth is: boundaries don't break relationships—they strengthen them.

In today's episode, I'm joined by my friend James “Fish” Gill for a listener Q&A all about conflict, communication, and staying connected through hard moments.We explore some big questions, including:How to release resentment when a conflict is “resolved” but the emotional residue is still sitting in your bodyWhat real repair actually looks like, and why some apologies land while others don'tWhen a relationship swings from explosive conflict to total conflict avoidance — and how to find a healthier middle groundHow to navigate dating when kids are involved, especially when parenting differences trigger deeper fears, jealousy, or old woundsFish and I unpack the relational dynamics underneath these questions and offer compassionate, practical guidance for moving through it with more clarity, honesty, and connection.If you're wanting to deepen your communication, repair more effectively, and understand yourself and your partner in moments of tension, this conversation will be a supportive place to land.

Cal had the life most people fantasise about: retired at 41, wealthy, travelling, surrounded by high-status circles. But behind the highlight reel, his marriage was breaking, his kids felt the hidden weight of privilege, and success wasn't touching the real problems underneath.In this conversation, Cal shares what actually woke him up. The moments that forced him to confront the disconnection that money had been masking for years.This is an episode for the man who's done all the work, has the house and the bank account to show for it… and still feels empty.

Ever feel like those online calculators or AI nutrition apps just do not get it right? You are not alone. In this episode of Macros Made Easy, I explain why your macros should never be one size fits all and what happens when you finally get numbers that fit you.I dive deep into how macros technology can completely miss the mark for real women. I explain why counting macros for beginners is about understanding your story, not copying someone else's plan. You will learn exactly how to count macros that reflect your goals, lifestyle, and metabolism so you can stop guessing and start progressing.When it comes to AI nutrition apps, I show how they often skip the personal details that actually matter, such as hormones, recovery, and stress. While macros technology can give you numbers, it cannot give you context. That is why counting macros for beginners requires guidance and why knowing how to count macros the right way changes everything.In this episode, you will learn:Why most AI nutrition apps and calculators get it wrongThe real difference between counting macros for beginners and building a personalized planHow macros technology can confuse rather than clarify your goalsSimple ways to start learning how to count macros that match your bodyWhat happens when you stop following the AI nutrition app and start following a real strategyBy the end, you will understand why macros technology is a helpful tool but never the full answer. I share practical steps for counting macros for beginners, how to know when it is time for a custom plan, and how to use AI nutrition apps in smarter ways that actually support progress.

Welcome back to the Dr. Kinney Show!In this solo episode, I'm diving deep into one of the most talked-about topics in wellness right now, GLP-1 medications, including Ozempic, Wegovy, and semaglutide. There's a lot of information (and misinformation) circulating about these drugs, and I want to explain how they actually work, when they can be incredibly effective, and when they can cause more harm than good.I break down the glucose-insulin connection, what insulin resistance really means, and why inflammation often begins with blood sugar imbalance. I also share how these medications can be used as a powerful tool for improving insulin sensitivity, reducing inflammation, and supporting hormone balance, when used thoughtfully and at the right time.In this episode, I discuss:How glucose and insulin function together to fuel your bodyWhat happens when insulin resistance develops and why it leads to fatigue, weight gain, and inflammationHow GLP-1 medications like semaglutide work to increase insulin sensitivityWhy microdosing or using the lowest therapeutic dose can be safer and more effectiveThe difference between short-term weight loss and long-term metabolic healthCommon side effects and how to avoid them with proper dosing and timingThe importance of building muscle and eating enough protein before starting a GLP-1 medicationHow these medications can reduce “food noise” and improve mental clarityThe unexpected benefits for hormone balance, PCOS, and menopause symptomsWhy GLP-1s should be seen as a supportive tool, not a quick fixWhether you're curious about GLP-1 medications for weight management, inflammation, or metabolic health, this episode will help you understand how to use them in a way that truly supports your body's healing process.https://www.thekinneyclinic.com/book

Mugs, a firefighter from just outside Seattle, came to us at Enfold in early 2025 after years of service left her system overloaded. A series of traumatic calls she dealt with — car accidents, suicides, fires — compounded earlier personal depression and trauma. “My world had gotten so small,” she says. “I stopped living or functioning.”Having tried talk therapy, EMDR, and countless modalities without relief, she arrived at Enfold with one clear hope: to find something that could reach the pain her mind couldn't. What unfolded was an equally beautiful and challenging death & rebirth experience. During her 5-MeO-DMT ceremony, Mugs experienced a profound purge — a letting go of energy she says “never belonged to me.” Through that release came what she describes as a near-death experience that reoriented her entire relationship with life, family, and service.Returning home, she found her nervous system quiet for the first time in decades. The “hard drive” of her body and mind felt wiped clean, leaving space for presence, creativity, and love to return. “I just had space again,” she says. “It was absolutely incredible. The way it's unfolded over time has been the best gift of my life.”In This EpisodeHow cumulative trauma and compassion fatigue can silently shut down the bodyWhat happens when traditional therapies can't reach the somatic roots of painThe purging and release process of 5-MeO-DMT through Mugs' lived experienceMoving from emotional numbness to gratitude and connectionHow a near-death experience reshaped her relationship with her kids and workBringing empathy and forgiveness into difficult conversationsReclaiming creativity and purpose after years of survival
