Ready to break free from burnout and self-sabotage?Join The Capacity Gap Workshop, register FREE at https://rewirecapacity.com The fight response is often misunderstood as a personality flaw, but it's actually a deeply wired survival adaptation shaped by past experiences and trauma. In this episode of Trauma Rewired, we explore the difference between healthy, time-bound anger and the chronic fight state, how they're created in the brain and body, and why learning to process anger is essential for emotional safety and healthy connection. You'll learn how the amygdala, hypothalamus, periaqueductal gray, insular cortex, and prefrontal cortex interact during a fight response, and how trauma can train the brain to see threat everywhere. We break down the health consequences of chronic fight, the relational patterns it creates, and why suppression of anger doesn't make it go away — it stores it in the body. From personal stories to neuroscience, this conversation offers tools to recognize the signals of fight mode, regulate your state, and reclaim anger as a clarifying force for setting boundaries and protecting what matters — without living in constant defense mode.

Fast fat loss in menopause is not really the goal. Let's be realistic and say this right out of the gate. Fast fat loss is a myth.  You may, however, drop inflammation fairly quickly with the right type of exercise.    Part 1: The Fat Burning Fundamentals Let's start with the basics. When we talk about fat burning during exercise, we need to understand two key concepts:  Percentage of Fat Used for Fuel  Total Calories Burned Here's something surprising: At rest, we burn about 85% fat for fuel. Your body is already a fat-burning machine when you're sitting on the couch!  Here's where it gets interesting.. During low-intensity exercise like walking, you burn a higher percentage of fat for fuel, but you're burning calories at a slower rate overall. During high-intensity exercise like running, you burn a lower percentage of fat for fuel, but you're torching calories much faster. Part 2: The EPOC Effect - Your Metabolic Afterburn EPOC or Excess Post-Exercise Oxygen Consumption, but I like to call it your metabolic afterburn. This is the energy your body continues to burn AFTER your workout is over. High-intensity exercise creates a significant EPOC effect. Your body keeps burning calories for hours after you finish your workout as it works to restore oxygen levels, repair tissues, and return to its normal state. It's like your metabolism stays revved up long after you've stopped moving. Low-intensity exercise produces minimal EPOC. Once you stop walking, your metabolism pretty quickly returns to baseline. You burned calories during the activity, but the party's over when you stop. This is where high-intensity exercise starts to look really appealing for fat loss. You're not just burning calories during the workout - you're creating a metabolic boost that lasts for hours. Know the Best Strategy for Fast Fat Loss in Menopause May Surprise You Part 3: Sprints vs Steady-State Running - The Game Changer When we compare running at a slow to moderate pace versus doing sprint intervals, the sprint work wins hands down for fat loss.  Sprint intervals create a massive EPOC effect. Your body works harder to recover from intense bursts, burning calories long after you're done. Sprint intervals are incredibly effective at burning both total body fat AND visceral belly fat. The beauty of sprints is that you can get incredible results in much less time. A 15-20 minute sprint session can be more effective for fat loss than an hour of steady jogging. For busy women in menopause, this efficiency factor is huge. Part 4: The Cortisol Connection - Why This Matters in Menopause Now we need to talk about cortisol, because this is where things get really important for women in menopause. High-intensity exercise creates a greater rise in cortisol compared to low-intensity exercise. This isn't necessarily bad! This cortisol response is actually normal and necessary. It's how your body releases blood sugar to be used as fuel and creates energy for exercise. Low-intensity exercise like walking creates little rise in cortisol. Comfortable walking, dancing, yoga, or tai chi often actually REDUCE cortisol levels. The problem isn't the acute cortisol rise from exercise itself. The problem is chronic elevated cortisol combined with high-intensity exercise when your system is already overloaded. If your stress bucket is already overflowing from work, relationships, poor sleep, and hormonal changes, adding high-intensity exercise makes it spill over. When cortisol is chronically elevated, it can sabotage your adrenal function and ultimately affect your thyroid. This is particularly relevant during menopause when our hormone systems are already in flux.  Choosing the Right Cardio for Fast Fat Loss in Menopause The Hot Not Bothered is open for enrollment as this episode goes live. If you need support getting a start, restart or reset, now is the time! Learn More Here   Part 5: The Real Running vs Walking Debate Here's where I want to challenge the traditional running versus walking debate. Maybe it's less about the percentage of fat burned for fuel and more about not burning yourself out. Let me give you a practical example from my own experience: Walking at a 5.0 pace on the treadmill is NOT comfortable for me. It's an effort - I'm breathing hard, I'm sweating, I'm working. But jogging at 5.8? That's actually quite slow for running. It's likely harder on my knees while not really providing enough impact to benefit my bone density. Here's a crucial point: Every time you run - meaning both feet leave the ground - you add four times your body weight in impact to your knee joints. Yet ironically, this repetitive impact isn't the kind of stimulus that optimally benefits bone density once you do it regularly. While jumping and purposeful impact exercises do provide bone density benefits, repetitive exercise loads like jogging don't create additional stress - they just create more of the same stress. So sometimes, a challenging walk might actually give you better results than an easy jog, with less wear and tear on your joints. The sad myth about running vs walking is that it will result in fast fat loss in menopause - or any time for that matter. Smarter Workouts for Fast Fat Loss in Menopause — Without Burnout Part 6: When Your Body Is Telling You to Slow Down Chronic cortisol elevation is often linked to inadequate recovery - particularly nutrition - than to workout intensity itself. If you're on a chronically low-carbohydrate or low-calorie diet, you may experience prolonged cortisol elevations regardless of your exercise. When your body lacks fuel, it compensates by releasing more cortisol to break down fat, muscle, and even bone tissue for energy. Chronic cortisol is more likely under these conditions: Too much too soon (occasional overreaching isn't a problem, but repeated overreaching is) Undereating before, during, or after exercise Lack of rest time between workouts for repair Inadequate sleep Planned diet or fasting state Lower intensity workouts may work better because you're not eating enough, not sleeping enough, or not managing your overall stress load. The biggest problem? Not eating enough. Going too low carb. Making statements like "my body loves this" when it's giving you signs you're exhausted, holding onto weight, or failing to gain muscle. No, it doesn't love it. Part 7: Making the Right Choice for YOU How do you decide between running and walking, or between steady-state and sprint work? Assess your current stress load: How's your sleep? Are you eating enough, especially carbohydrates? How are your energy levels throughout the day? Are you seeing the results you want? If you're well-rested, well-fed, and managing stress effectively, higher intensity work including sprints is incredibly effective for fat loss. If you're stressed, under-fueled, or sleep-deprived, walking or other lower-intensity activities is better right now.  That's not settling for less - that's being smart about working WITH your body instead of against it. The best exercise program is what you can do consistently while feeling energized and strong, not depleted and exhausted. Fast Fat Loss in Menopause Differs for Every Body in Every Stage Part 8: Practical Applications For sprint work: Start with just 1-2 sprint sessions per week. These could be 15-30 second all-out efforts followed by as much time needed for recovery, repeated 4-6 times. This gives you maximum fat-burning benefit with minimal time investment. For steady-state work: If you choose to run steadily, make sure it's at an intensity that's appropriately challenging. If you choose to walk, don't be afraid to make it challenging - hills, speed, or resistance can all increase the demand. For recovery: Always prioritize adequate nutrition and sleep. Your results happen during recovery, not just during the workout. Listen to your body's feedback. If you're consistently tired, holding onto weight despite "doing everything right," or feeling burnt out, it might be time to dial down the intensity and focus on recovery. Conclusion The bottom line? Both running and walking can be effective for fat loss, but the devil is in the details.  Sprint work offers incredible efficiency and targets visceral fat effectively. Steady-state cardio has its place, especially when recovery demands are high. The key is matching your exercise intensity to your body's current capacity for stress and recovery. During menopause, this becomes even more critical as our hormone systems are already adapting to change. Your exercise program should energize you, not exhaust you. It should work with your lifestyle, not against it. And it should leave you feeling strong and capable, not depleted and overwhelmed.   Remember, there's no real magic trick for fast fat loss in menopause. However, you can get there faster - sometimes by slowing down and sometimes by sprinting. But always by weight lifting.    References for Fast Fat Loss in Menopause:  Psychoneuroendocrinology. 2022, PMID: 35777076. Front Public Health, 2019, PMID: 31921741.

What if your constant stress, emotional triggers, and exhaustion aren't a mindset problem, but a sign your nervous system is stuck in survival mode?  In this episode of Trauma Rewired, we explore the science of nervous system reset, nervous system regulation, and how to restore the nervous system after chronic stress and trauma. Jennifer Wallace and Elisabeth Kristof unpack how the autonomic nervous system governs your reactions, why trauma is stored as patterns in the body, and how to begin the process of nervous system recovery without forcing or overwhelming yourself. You'll learn how the sympathetic (fight or flight) and parasympathetic (rest and digest) branches work together, why dysregulation is not a personal failure, and how practices like movement, breathwork, and interoception can help you regulate more effectively.

Sarah was in an unhealthy place mentally and physically. Chronic dieting made her body sick and mentally she shaming herself, making herself feel guilty and trying to be strict which only made things worse. Sarah shares how her negativity toward herself was a large part of what she had to unlearn to be successful and come to a place of peace with food, the scale and her body. Sarah's story is representative of many women I work with because the issues with food are really not about the food.  Free Weight Loss Consultation: https://skinnyfitalicious.com/weight-loss-coaching/ Free Weight Loss Class: https://skinnyfitalicious.com/hormone-weight-loss-class-2/ Client Testimonials: https://skinnyfitalicious.com/testimonials/

Join Dr. Emily Cooper, Andrea Taylor, and Mark Wright on Fat Science as they unravel the complex role of cortisol, the body's primary stress hormone. Dr. Cooper explains how cortisol isn't always bad—it helps us adapt to stress, mobilize energy, and even save our lives in emergencies, but chronic elevation can cause serious health problems like insomnia, weight gain, and increased risk for diabetes and heart disease. The team explores the science behind how stress impacts metabolism, why recovery and adaptation are essential, and practical, science-backed strategies for managing stress in everyday life.Key Takeaways:Cortisol helps the body adapt to acute stress but becomes harmful when chronically elevated, increasing risk for major health issues including metabolic dysfunction.Chronic stress can impair sleep, disrupt blood sugar regulation, and suppress immune function.Managing stress involves more than just eliminating stressors—recovery, lifestyle shifts, and purposeful micro-breaks are vital for a healthy stress response.Meditation, certain types of yoga, gentle exercise, fueling workouts with carbs, and improving sleep all have proven benefits for regulating cortisol.Balancing lifestyle choices, nourishing the body with complex carbs, antioxidants, and gut-friendly foods, and setting boundaries are crucial for long-term metabolic health.Personal Stories & Practical Advice:Andrea opens up about stress shopping and learning healthier coping habits.Mark shares how his career-induced sleep deprivation affected his health, and the positive changes he's made.Dr. Cooper offers actionable advice on finding realistic ways to “take the load off,” from better sleep to more intentional rest.Resources from the episode:Fat Science is a podcast on a mission to share the real science behind why we get fat, addressing stigma and confusion with facts, hope, and empowering stories. Connect with Dr. Emily Cooper on LinkedIn.Connect with Mark Wright on LinkedIn.Connect with Andrea Taylor on Instagram.Fat Science is a podcast on a mission to explain where our fat really comes from and why it won't go and stay away.

You've done everything right — balanced hormones, optimized your diet, reduced stress, worked with the best fertility specialists — maybe even tried IVF… and still, no pregnancy. It's devastating, confusing, and exhausting. But what if the missing link is something you've never even considered: mold and mycotoxins?Many couples struggling with infertility have explored every conventional and integrative option—hormone balancing, dietary changes, lifestyle upgrades, even IVF—yet still find themselves without answers. In this eye-opening conversation, Dr. Nafysa Parpia reveals one of the most under-discussed factors that could be standing in the way: chronic mold and mycotoxin exposure.Dr. Parpia explains how mold-related toxins can trigger persistent inflammation, disrupt hormone regulation, impact egg and sperm quality, and even mimic estrogen in the body. She outlines the connection between mold, the microbiome, and fertility—both for women and men—and why symptoms can be surprisingly “random” and often overlooked.Dr Nafysa Parpia is the Director of Naturopathic Medicine at Gordon Medical and specializes in treating patients with complex chronic illness who have diagnoses such as autoimmunity, fibromyalgia, Long Haul COVID, ME/CFS, and Mast Cell Activation Syndrome. Often, these diagnoses are caused by a combination of tick-borne illness, environmental exposures, mold/mycotoxins, stress, and emotional history.In this deep-dive interview, we explore how toxic mold exposure can silently undermine reproductive health in both women and men, often leaving standard fertility tests looking “normal” while the body is trapped in a loop of inflammation and hormonal chaos.You'll discover:Why mold is a fertility disruptor — from hormone imbalance to egg/sperm quality changesThe “cell danger response” and how chronic inflammation keeps your body in defense mode, not conception modeEstrogen-mimicking mycotoxins and their role in estrogen overloadHow mold exposure affects the microbiome and in turn reproductive healthWhy chronic sinus infections & allergies can be a hidden reproductive health problemThe top at-home and clinical mold tests: ERMI, MicroGen DX, allergy testing, mycotoxin panelsThe exact steps an expert uses to assess mold impact — from home inspection to advanced lab diagnosticsHow mold issues often overlap with Lyme, chronic infections, and environmental toxinsWhy men's fertility is equally impacted — from low testosterone to erectile dysfunctionTakeaway: If you've been on the fertility journey and feel like you've hit a dead end, exploring mold and mycotoxins could be the breakthrough you've been missing.Resources & Mentions in This Episode:ERMI Test (Environmental Relative Moldiness Index)MicroGen DX sinus swab testingEnvironmental professionals like Michael SchrantzBindings agents, antifungal herbs, detox support strategiesChapters: 0:00 Intro 2:15 Why mold is rarely considered in fertility workups 7:42 How inflammation from mold derails hormones 15:10 Chronic sinus infections & hypothalamus connection 22:55 Mold testing: home & body diagnostics 30:48 Overlap with Lyme and other infections 39:12 Mold's effect on male fertility 48:20 Personalized treatment protocols for complex cases Follow Dr...

In this raw and unforgettable episode, we sit down with Renzo, a man whose story takes us from the halls of an Ecuadorian naval academy to the darkest corners of addiction — and finally, to redemption and love. Sent away as a teen in hopes of “straightening out,” he returned with more of taste for alcohol than ever. By 21, he was smoking meth. A move to the East Coast meant a fresh start… until heroin took over. His desperation ran so deep he once faked appendicitis — and had a perfectly healthy organ removed — just to score pain meds.After countless relapses, he finally got sober in his forties. The same day we recorded this episode, Renzo proposed to his girlfriend and they are now engaged — a full-circle moment for someone who never thought love or freedom was possible. Now, he works in treatment and shares his story to prove that no matter how far gone you feel, it's never too late to come back.This one's wild, honest, and packed with hope.

You'll find some amazing brands we trust—and by checking them out, you're helping us keep the podcast going.  Today we're switching gears a bit to talk about a medication rather than a peptide — metformin. If you're someone who's interested in peptides for metabolic health or inflammation, you've probably heard metformin mentioned alongside them. It's been around for decades as a diabetes medication, but recently it's gaining attention for its potential benefits beyond blood sugar, including longevity, inflammation, and neuroprotection — even in people who don't have diabetes. Let's get into it. Metformin and Longevity Can metformin really help us live longer? One of the biggest sparks came from a 2014 study published in Diabetes, Obesity and Metabolism, where researchers found that diabetics on metformin actually lived longer than non-diabetics not taking the medication.  The authors suggested that metformin may offer protective benefits beyond glucose control, possibly by reducing oxidative stress and slowing cellular aging. This inspired the launch of the TAME trial—short for Targeting Aging with Metformin—which is designed to test whether metformin can delay the onset of age-related diseases like cancer, cardiovascular disease, and cognitive decline. While results are still pending, it's the first large-scale effort to study aging as a treatable condition, not just a process. Inflammation and Immunometabolism Next up: inflammation. Chronic low-grade inflammation is at the root of so many health issues—heart disease, dementia, even depression. Metformin appears to blunt systemic inflammation by activating AMPK. Think of AMPK as a metabolic master switch that lowers inflammatory signaling. A 2021 review published in Pharmacological Research found that metformin can inhibit NF-κB, a major pathway that drives inflammation. It also helped lower levels of CRP—a protein made by the liver that rises when there's inflammation from things like infection, injury, or chronic disease—and IL-6, another immune system protein commonly elevated in chronic inflammatory conditions. Because of these anti-inflammatory effects, researchers have been exploring metformin's potential in conditions beyond diabetes, including autoimmune diseases, multiple sclerosis (MS), PCOS, and even COVID—where it's been linked to lower mortality in patients with diabetes. Brain Health and Neuroprotection What about the brain? Can metformin help protect against cognitive decline? There's some promising data here too. A 2017 study in Aging Cell found that metformin improved neurogenesis in the hippocampus of aged mice—basically, helping old brains grow new neurons. In 2019 a cohort study in JAMA Network reported that people with type 2 diabetes taking metformin had a lower risk of developing dementia compared to those not taking it. Mechanisms may include reduced insulin resistance in the brain, less oxidative stress, and—again—AMPK activation, which promotes mitochondrial health and energy production. Still, human trials are mixed, and more controlled research is needed before we can call it a “smart drug.” Lower Cancer Risk So, here's an interesting one—can metformin actually lower the risk of cancer? Well, the short answer is: maybe. People with diabetes tend to have a higher risk of developing certain types of cancer, so part of metformin's benefit could just come from better managing blood sugar and insulin levels. But what's really exciting is that researchers think metformin might do even more than that. There's evidence suggesting it could have direct effects on cancer cells—like slowing down their growth or making the environment less friendly for tumors. Some studies have found lower rates of cancers like breast, colon, and prostate in people taking metformin. Now, this isn't a magic bullet or anything, but it's a promising area of research that's getting a lot of attention. So metformin might be pulling double duty: managing diabetes and potentially helping reduce cancer risk through other mechanisms we're still learning about. Metabolic Health for Non-Diabetics Now here's where it gets controversial—should healthy people without diabetes be taking metformin? Some researchers argue yes, especially for people with metabolic syndrome, prediabetes, or high inflammation. Metformin improves insulin sensitivity, reduces liver glucose production, and may even support modest weight loss. That said, there are tradeoffs. Metformin can cause stomach-related side effects (e.g., nausea, gas, heartburn, and diarrhea) and vitamin B12 deficiency (which may lead to nerve damage). It can also cause extreme fatigue.  Metformin may sometimes cause sexual side effects, like erectile dysfunction in men. Some studies suggest it might lower testosterone, which we know is important for male sexual health. But interestingly, other research points to metformin actually improving blood flow to the penis, which could help with erectile issues. So, it's a bit of a mixed picture—and it really depends on the individual. And although rare, it can cause lactic acidosis (a life threatening condition where lactic acid builds up in the blood) in older adults, people with advanced kidney disease, or those who drink excessive amounts of alcohol. So it's not a free pass.  So what are my final thoughts and who should you take metformin for longevity? Metformin isn't a one-size-fits-all solution, and it's definitely not something to start just because you heard about it on a podcast. We still need more research—especially in people without diabetes—to really understand who benefits most. But it might make sense for some people, like those with prediabetes, PCOS, metabolic syndrome, or even older adults looking to support healthy aging.  As always, it's something to talk through with your healthcare provider.  The science is exciting, but it's all about finding what makes sense for you. Thank you for listening to The Peptide Podcast. If you enjoyed the show and want to support what we do, head over to our Partners Page.

Follow Amanda's journey on Instagram @chronically._.creative and discover how art becomes both healing and revolutionary in the hands of someone determined to increase representation through creativity.-From the 2025 Abilities Expo in Chicago comes a powerful SpeedCast that packs an emotional punch in just under eight minutes. Meet Amanda Peters, the creative force behind "Chronically Creative," whose journey through over 100 surgeries has transformed into an artistic mission to increase wheelchair representation in digital art.Amanda candidly shares her life with spina bifida, Ehlers-Danlos syndrome, and hydrocephalus—challenges that kept her frequently hospitalized yet sparked a creative awakening. "I started getting into design once I entered a bit more of a healthy era," she explains, noting her disappointment at the scarcity of wheelchair-inclusive artwork despite millions of Americans who use mobility devices. What makes Amanda's art distinctive is her digital approach. Using an iPad with a stylus, she overcomes hand tremors through digital filtering tools, allowing her to create whenever inspiration or health permits. This adaptive technique emerged during COVID when she found herself with fewer surgeries and more creative energy. Her mother introduced her to crafting as therapy—a way to focus on creation rather than pain.Perhaps most striking is Amanda's perspective, summed up by her t-shirt: "Chronically ill, I prefer medically fascinating." This outlook culminates in her parting wisdom that resonates far beyond disability communities: "Try to take different risks and do new things, even if you're not quite sure you're going to be able to do it, because chances are you're going to be surprised at what you actually are capable of." 

Clint Lanier and Dave McArthur travel back in time to the 1990s and revisit the gangster rap breakthrough the Chronic while drinking forties.

They told you it's just your hormones. That birth control would “regulate” them. That Metformin might help.  What they didn't tell you? PCOS and thyroid dysfunction don't just happen. They're your body's way of saying pay closer attention. But you were trained—by medicine, by culture—to ignore that signal. On this episode of Medical Disruptors, I'm joined by Dr. Erica Armstrong—an MD who left conventional medicine when she realized she wasn't helping women heal. She was helping them cope. Together, we break down what no one explains: PCOS and Hashimoto's are not two separate conditions. They're two sides of the same coin—and if you've been told your labs are “normal,” while your body is clearly not, you know exactly what we're talking about. This isn't another supplement routine. This is about understanding the real drivers of hormonal chaos: insulin resistance, gut disruption, nutrient depletion, chronic stress—and the pattern of being told it's all in your head. The truth? You always had the instincts. You've tracked the symptoms. You've done everything they asked. What you need now isn't another protocol. You need a better structure. Because PCOS isn't a dead-end diagnosis. Hashimoto's isn't the end of the story. And your body is not broken. This isn't about managing symptoms. It's about finally reversing them—at the root.

In this deeply grounding episode of Healthy Mind, Healthy Life, host Avik Chakraborty is joined by Greg Vost and Michael Nolan co-founders of Embodied Recovery for a transformative conversation on trauma, addiction, and nervous system healing. If you've ever felt like traditional talk therapy or medication wasn't enough, this episode offers a new perspective. Greg and Michael reveal why many people stay stuck in cycles of anxiety, depression, or chronic pain despite doing “everything right.” They share the science and spirit behind their embodied recovery model, how breathwork like Sundo rewires the nervous system, and why emotional healing must be felt in the body—not just thought about. They even guide listeners through a powerful live energy practice. Whether you're navigating mental health struggles or simply seeking more presence in a chaotic world, this episode invites you to reconnect with your inner rhythm. About the Guests:Greg Vost and Michael Nolan are the founders of Embodied Recovery, a cutting-edge treatment center in Silicon Valley. Blending ancient wisdom, modern psychology, 12-step recovery, and the breathwork lineage of Sundo, they offer a holistic path to healing that moves beyond symptom management into embodied transformation. Key Takeaways: The nervous system is the foundation of emotional and physical health. If dysregulated, it can manifest as anxiety, chronic pain, or emotional reactivity. Healing is not just about talking—it requires embodied practices that shift how we feel and act, not just what we think. The breath is a powerful mirror of the mind. Developing a breath practice like Sundo cultivates calm, clarity, and resilience. Embodied Recovery blends daily breath practice, somatic awareness, 12-step support, and emotional unwinding to help people find lasting transformation. Emotional healing is not secondary to physical healing. Chronic emotional stress does show up in the body—and often drives illness or pain. Even a simple practice like mindful tapping and breath can awaken your energetic awareness and begin the healing journey from within. Healing doesn't happen overnight. It's a consistent relationship with self—built through gentle awareness, presence, and practice.

Let's talk about what it looks like to wrestle with God. Is it allowed to believe God is still good while also wrestling with that truth? 

If you're dealing with low AMH, diminished ovarian reserve, premature ovarian insufficiency or poor egg quality, and you're constantly “doing everything” to address it, this episode dives into how chronic stress, perfectionism, and high-achiever tendencies can silently sabotage fertility from a functional perspective. Do you feel like you're doing all the things, but still not seeing results? We'll explore how the drive to always do more (even with the best intentions) can quietly mess with egg quality, throw off your hormone balance, and overstimulate your nervous system, especially if rest feels like failure. We'll connect the dots between: High-functioning burnout and low progesterone  Overworking and poor ovarian response  Chronic cortisol and mitochondrial damage to eggs  Sleep, blood sugar, gut health and why they matter more than any other supplement You'll also learn: Functional labs to assess nervous system depletion Lifestyle shifts to repair your fertility foundation Why doing less is sometimes the most powerful fertility strategy Whether you're in IVF cycles, preparing for egg retrieval or diagnosed with diminished ovarian reserve or premature ovarian insufficiency, this is the mindset shift you didn't know you needed. Tune in and learn how to go from hustle to hormone balance, so your body can finally feel safe to conceive. This episode is for you if: You've experienced failed egg retrievals or embryo transfers and are trying all the protocols, supplements, or strategies you can find. You're working long hours (50+ per week) and struggling to balance career demands with your fertility journey. You feel like your worth is tied to your fertility outcomes or the number of “wins” you achieve, making it hard to slow down or rest, even when you're exhausted. --- TIMESTAMPS [00:00:00] Hyper Achiever Mindset & Fertility: Impact on Egg Quality & IVF Success [00:02:00] Stress & Hormone Imbalance: Progesterone, Thyroid & Fertility Hormones [00:05:00] Overwork, Cortisol & Inflammation: Effects on Low AMH and Egg Quality [00:07:00] Chronic Stress Impact on Ovulation, Mitochondria & IVF Outcomes [00:09:00] Autoimmune, Sleep Hygiene & Fertility: Stress Effects on AMH & Embryo Health [00:11:00] Nervous System Reset: Stress Relief Techniques to Boost Fertility [00:14:00] Nutrition & Supplements for Egg Quality: CoQ10, Magnesium & Detox [00:16:00] Fertility Mindset & Connection: Rest, Self-Compassion & Pregnancy Success --- RESOURCES

I am beyond delighted to share this beautiful conversation with Diana May, the yoga teacher who first taught me how to teach yoga.  If you've ever practiced yoga with me, you, too, have been touched by Diana's powerful, nurturing teachings.  In this rich and heartfelt episode, we explore how both of us and the practice of yoga itself have evolved over the years.  Our conversation is a journey through yoga, chronic pain, trauma, somatics, and the profound wisdom of the nervous system. Diana is a yoga teacher, somatic experiencing practitioner, applied neurology educator, and expert retreat facilitator. She brings a deeply compassionate and science-informed approach to healing through movement.  We share a gentle approach to reclaiming vitality, safety, and ease in your body.  We reflect on what it means to reconnect to your body, especially in midlife, after trauma, in menopause, or perimenopause, or when living with chronic pain. Pearls of Wisdom: Yoga is so much more than movement. Yoga is a pathway to remembering who you are beneath all the layers of expectation, perfectionism, and societal “shoulds.” Trauma-informed yoga is about agency, choice, and offering people the safety to meet themselves exactly where they are with compassion, not judgment. Chronic pain and trauma often live in the nervous system, not just the body. Healing occurs through slow, intentional movement informed by the rhythms of the nervous system. Pleasure is not optional. It's a necessary part of nervous system regulation and healing. Practices that orient you toward ease, rest, and joy are essential especially during menopause or transitions. Retreats offer profound co-regulation, nature-based healing, and space to be your full, human self that is tender, real, and whole. If this episode resonates with you, consider joining me for an upcoming Pause & Presence retreat. A space to soften, reconnect, and listen deeply to what your nervous system truly needs. www.jessiemahoneymd.com/retreats If you'd like support as you navigate chronic pain, midlife transitions, or healing from burnout, I offer mindful coaching to help you reclaim vitality and peace.
