You're doing everything — checking tasks off the list, showing up for your business, your family, your goals — but somehow, you still feel like you're standing still. Your energy is low, your sleep is restless, and your presence feels scattered.In this episode, Melissa shares the truth about why constant action doesn't always equal growth — and how learning to slow down (the right way) creates the stability, clarity, and energy your body and business actually need to expand.This isn't about doing less. It's about doing what matters — and rebuilding the foundation that allows you to move faster, without breaking down.IN THIS EPISODE, YOU'LL LEARN:- The difference between slowing down to restore vs. slowing down from burnout- How nervous system regulation, hormones, and digestion create the foundation for sustainable business growth- Why your energy crashes, poor sleep, and brain fog are symptoms of dysregulation (not lack of discipline)- How to identify the actions that truly move the needle — and release the ones that drain you- The “peaceful productivity” framework that lets you build momentum and still feel calm- Two morning practices to reconnect your body before diving into your workdayTIMESTAMPS: 00:00 The Myth of Constant Action 02:00 When Your Body Starts Slowing You Down 06:00 Building the Foundations: Nervous System, Hormones, Digestion 11:00 Why Regulation Comes Before Growth 17:30 Client Story: Scaling Through Nervous System Safety 22:00 Peaceful Productivity and Intentional Action________________________________________________________________________RESOURCES:

SHOW NOTES: On this show…we're talking about speaking life. How the words we use, both out loud and in our heads, can either drain our energy or feed our strength. Have you ever noticed how quickly one negative thought can spiral into an entire mood? One complaint, one worry, one “what if,” and before you know it, you're swimming in tension and exhaustion. It's wild how something as simple as language can shape how we feel, think, and even heal. I've always believed that we're more powerful than we realize. The body, mind, and spirit are in constant conversation with one another. Every thought sends a message. Every word carries weight. And when we speak life, when we choose words of hope, belief, and gratitude, we set off a chain reaction toward peace and restoration. I'm not saying life suddenly becomes easy or that we can positive-think our way out of every challenge. But I do believe that we can rise above chaos and confusion by intentionally choosing the voice we let lead. We've all seen what happens when negativity takes over. Worry turns into anxiety, anxiety into stress, and stress into physical strain. Cortisol spikes, sleep suffers, and our patience runs thin. It's like our entire system is on alert, reacting to a story we keep repeating even if that story isn't true. But what if we flipped the script? What if we started calling life as we want to see it, not ignoring reality, but speaking possibility into it? There's a fine line between being honest about what's happening and being captive to it. You can acknowledge the storm and still believe in the sun. That's what speaking life is about: setting your internal thermostat instead of being the thermometer that just reacts to everything around you. Choosing peace even when the world feels loud. Trusting your resilience, your purpose, your ability to heal. Faith-filled words often come before faith-filled feelings. CHALLENGE: Be intentional with your words this week. Speak life into every situation: into your thoughts, your relationships, and your dreams. When negativity creeps in, stop it mid-sentence and choose words that reflect faith, hope, and healing instead. Let your language lead your life in the direction you want to grow. I Know YOU Can Do It!

While the beauty industry pushes billions in topical treatments like retinol, fillers, and Botox, we're missing what's really causing chronic skin conditions. Dr. G sits down with fellow naturopathic doctor and integrative dermatologist Dr. Trevor Cates to uncover the truth: every breakout is your body's way of communicating about gut health, hormonal imbalances, and internal inflammation. But the most shocking revelation? "The people with the worst skin often have the weakest boundaries." Discover the profound mind-body connection behind your skin issues and why stress and emotional boundaries are directly linked to something called "leaky skin"—allowing toxins and chemicals to penetrate your skin barrier. If you've tried every expensive cream and elimination diet without results, this episode reveals the missing piece. In This Episode: ⚫ How chronic stress and weak boundaries create "leaky skin" and barrier breakdown ⚫ Why your face is a direct reflection of gut health, hormones, and systemic inflammation ⚫ The toxic ingredients in skincare products making your skin worse ⚫ The truth about filler damage, Botox risks, and long-term cosmetic procedures ⚫ The non-negotiable products and practices for genuine skin longevity ⚫ How to heal your skin from the inside out using functional medicine principles Key Takeaways: ✅ Skin conditions are symptoms—not the root cause—of internal imbalance ✅ "Leaky gut" and "leaky skin" are connected through inflammation and stress ✅ Emotional boundaries directly impact your skin's physical boundaries ✅ The beauty industry often worsens skin health with toxic ingredients ✅ True skin transformation requires addressing gut health, hormones, and nervous system regulation ✅ Holistic approaches outperform surface-level treatments for lasting results Find Dr. Trevor Cates here: Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/trevorcates/?hl=en Website: https://drtrevorcates.com/ Timestamps: 0:00 – Introduction 2:17 – Rapid Fire Questions 5:27 – Journey Into Integrative Dermatology 9:40 – The Gut-Skin Connection 11:08 – Skin Conditions and Gut Imbalances 16:48 – Leaky Gut and Leaky Skin 21:12 – Cortisol and Hormones 28:22 – Birth Control Pills and Skin 34:04 – Botox and Fillers 44:02 – Skincare Routine

AI isn't just transforming how we work; it's quietly revolutionizing how we eat, move, sleep, and age. From smart devices that detect stress before you feel it to algorithms that predict illness years in advance, technology is giving us the tools to understand our bodies like never before. But beneath all the hype, what really matters is how we use that data to live better, not just longer.In this episode of The Wellness Algorithm, we are joined by Dr. Marcus Ranney, longevity physician. Together, we dive into the new frontier where biology meets technology, exploring how AI is reshaping fitness, nutrition, and recovery to make wellness deeply personal and preventive. We talk about what true biohacking means, why small daily choices matter more than expensive gadgets, and how science is helping us extend not just our lifespan but our healthspan. Dr. Ranney explains how AI is becoming our health ally, decoding everything from sleep quality to metabolic patterns, and how even the simplest changes like improving sleep or reducing stress can biohack your body for better energy, focus, and longevity.To help you start your own data-led wellness journey, here are some core tests and metrics he recommends for personalized health insights:Metabolic Health Tests: Fasting blood sugar, fasting insulin, HbA1c, and a full lipid profile (HDL, LDL, triglycerides).Micronutrient Panels: Vitamin D3, Vitamin B12, Iron, Magnesium, Zinc, Selenium, and Albumin.Inflammation Markers: CRP and Cortisol to assess chronic stress and systemic inflammation.Gut Health Tests: Microbiome and saliva tests to measure bacterial diversity and gut balance.Wearable Metrics: Heart rate variability, sleep tracking, and continuous glucose monitoring for real-time feedback.This episode isn't about chasing perfection or becoming robotic; it's about learning to use technology to understand yourself better. You'll walk away with practical tools, a new perspective on wellness, and a glimpse of how AI can help you stay healthier, longer while keeping your humanity at the center of it all.For a transcript of this show, go to https://wellnesscurated.life/biohacking-with-ai-the-future-of-fitness-nutrition-longevity-2/Leave a review

Podcast Episode SynopsisEpisode Title: Distress' Impact on Your BodyHost IntroductionIn this episode, Dr. Ali Novitsky, expert in obesity medicine and founder of The FIT Collective, continues her series on stress—this time focusing on how stress impacts the body. Dr. Ali keeps this episode concise and reflective, encouraging listeners to pause and connect with how stress shows up physically.Key Points Discussed1. Physical Impacts of StressJoint Pains and Muscle Recovery: Dr. Ali explains that elevated cortisol during stress can delay recovery and increase joint or muscle pain.Heightened Irritability and Tension: Stress raises irritability and muscle tightness. Dr. Ali suggests a quick body scan—especially noticing how high the shoulders are—as a simple stress check.Perimenopause and Stress: Stress can amplify perimenopausal symptoms such as night sweats and hot flashes. Dr. Ali references research showing that gentle, low-impact exercise (like walking or stretching) can lessen these effects.Immunity and Hormones: Chronic stress impacts immune function through cortisol and insulin dysregulation. High insulin promotes water retention and inflammation, increasing risk for long-term conditions such as heart disease and cancer.2. Personal Reflection and Daily PracticeDr. Ali invites listeners to notice the specific ways stress manifests in their own bodies. She shares that for her, stress often looks like:Speaking rapidlyPoor sleepEmotional eatingDigestive issuesHeadaches or muscle sorenessShe encourages creating a daily “body check-in” practice—noticing tension, breath, and posture throughout the day. Awareness is the first step to release.3. Self-Compassion Over CriticismDr. Ali emphasizes that judgment and self-criticism amplify stress, while self-compassion lowers it. She reminds listeners that it's normal to feel stressed and that progress, not perfection, is the goal. Replacing inner criticism with phrases like “I'm doing my best right now” supports both emotional and physical resilience.4. Actionable StepsDr. Ali closes with three takeaways listeners can begin today:Acknowledge Stress: Recognize how stress physically shows up in your body—fatigue, muscle tension, or irritability.Daily Check-In: Build a brief daily practice to notice posture, breath, or areas of tightness.Self-Compassion Plan: Practice kindness toward yourself—affirm that stress is a human experience and that rest and recovery are productive.ConclusionDr. Ali concludes by reminding listeners that acknowledging stress is the first step in managing it. The body keeps the score, but with awareness, movement, rest, and self-compassion, we can heal and thrive. She encourages listeners to be gentle with themselves and to prioritize recovery just as much as performance.Timestamps00:00:06 – Introduction & Overview00:01:10 – Physical Impact of Stress00:01:20 – Joint Pain & Delayed Recovery00:02:13 – Perimenopause & Stress00:02:24 – Exercise & Menopause Symptoms00:03:17 – Immunity & Hormones00:03:38 – Cortisol and Insulin00:04:21 – Inflammation & Water Retention00:05:03 – GLP-1 and Heart Health00:05:14 – Body Carries Stress00:05:24 – Personal Stress Symptoms00:06:09 – Daily Body Check-In00:06:31 – Exercise as Emotional Regulator00:06:53 – Personal Experience with Stress00:07:45 – Managing Stress Strategies00:08:07 – Daily Awareness Practice00:09:20 – Rest, Nutrition, Activity00:09:41 – Self-Compassion Practice00:11:06 – Movement & Stress Relief00:12:11 – Transform Program & Stress QuizWork with Dr. Ali

Rivas explains the process of using the device, its integration with a smartphone, and how AI helps interpret the hormone data for actionable insights. Future plans for Eli Health's hormone monitoring technology, including progesterone and testosterone, are also discussed, offering a glimpse into the evolving landscape of self-monitoring and personalized health.

Cortisol gets a bad rap, but it's actually one of your body's most powerful performance tools. We're diving into the science behind stress, and why cortisol isn't always the villain it's made out to be. In this episode, we unpack how your nervous system and hormones work together to keep you balanced, what happens when that system goes off track, and simple nutrition and lifestyle strategies to help you stay regulated, energized, and resilient.

Hier kommt Teil 2 des Stress-Talks mit Deutschlands bekanntestem Stress-Forschers Prof. Clemens Kirschbaum. Sehr spannend fand ich die beiden Stress-Achsen und damit die Unterscheidung zwischen kurzfristigem (Adrenalin) bzw. langfristigem (Cortisol) Stress. Hier spielt die Halbwertzeit von Cortisol eine wichtige Rolle: Du hörst in der Folge, was die Stress-Forschung schon sehr gut untersucht hat und was bislang noch nicht. Daraus ergeben sich viele Ableitungen, um besser in die Entspannung und Ruhe zu finden. Viel Spaß beim Hören. Alle Infos zur Stress-Coach Ausbildung: ⁠www.drachenberg.de/stress-coach

In this episode of the Inspire Health Podcast, Dr. Jen White explores the multifaceted world of sleep, focusing on insomnia and other sleep challenges that impact our health and wellbeing. Drawing from her personal experiences and clinical expertise, Dr. White highlights how hormones, diet, lifestyle, trauma, and the nervous system all play a role in sleep quality. Through engaging case studies, she demonstrates how understanding your body's unique needs is key to restoring deep, restorative sleep. Listeners are introduced to the Inspire Health Sleep Protocol—a practical, structured approach to improving sleep and overall wellness.   Themes:  Sleep is foundational for recovery, healing, and overall health. Cortisol can interfere with sleep by disrupting melatonin production. Understanding your body's needs is critical for better sleep. Diet, lifestyle, and environmental factors significantly influence sleep quality. Bioidentical hormones can support sleep when appropriately used. Simple, practical steps can lead to meaningful sleep improvements. Self-parenting practices can help establish healthy sleep routines. The Inspire Health Sleep Protocol provides a step-by-step approach to better sleep. Connect with Jen:

Beyond surface-level thank-yous, Justin unpacks embodied gratitude that rewires the brain, raises HRV, lowers cortisol, and realigns your nervous system with peace and presence. From worship playlists to breath-linked journaling, he shows how gratitude transforms physiology—and why it's the essential “vitamin” your soul needs to thrive.Episode HighlightsGratitude vs. Thankfulness: Moving from polite thanks to embodied reverence that changes state.Bio-Signal, Not Just Mindset: Gratitude activates the parasympathetic nervous system (rest/repair), often reflected as higher HRV, better recovery, immune function, and emotional regulation.Neurochemistry of Gratitude: Engages the prefrontal cortex; supports serotonin & dopamine pathways → durable, positive neural wiring (not just a temporary mood).Faith Meets Physiology: Scripture's call to thanksgiving aligns with measurable stress reduction and decision clarity.Environment Matters: Music and inputs shift state (e.g., worship vs. “depressive playlist”); be the thermostat, not the thermometer.Real-World Wins: Clients who integrate gratitude stacks often see HRV and symptom improvements (e.g., brain fog, bloat) as stress load decreases.Pattern Interrupt (daytime): When stress hits, take one slow breath and recall one specific gratitude; notice the state shift.Evening Rewind (3–5 minutes): Play High–Low–Buffalo (high = win, low = challenge, buffalo = surprise) and find gratitude in each.Track Your HRV: Note last month's average; run the three practices for 7 days and compare average HRV, sleep quality, and mood.Worship Playlist: Start or end the day with gratitude-centered worship to prime the nervous system for calm, clarity, and connection.Scripture & Studies MentionedPsalm 100:4 — Enter his gates with thanksgiving (gratitude opens gates).Psalm 46:10 — Be still and know (stillness precedes state change).Gratitude & HRV / Parasympathetic Activation: Research linking gratitude journaling/practice to improved HRV, emotional regulation, and recovery.Neuroplasticity & Neurochemistry: Gratitude practices support prefrontal activation and serotonin/dopamine balance, reinforcing resilient pathways.===========================Subscribe and Listen to the Own It Show HERE:➡︎ YouTube:https://www.youtube.com/@justinroethlingshoefer➡︎ Apple Podcasts:https://apple.co/3KCyN3j➡︎ Spotify: https://open.spotify.com/show/3F58Ez4lbIKQ6kMu2pfpIG===========================Resources:⚡️CHECK OUR PROGRAMS: https://ownitcoaching.com/programs/⚡️BOOK: https://thepowerofownershipbook.com/=========================== Connect with Justin Roethlingshoefer on Social Media:➡︎ linkedin.com/in/justin-roethlingshoefer➡︎https://www.instagram.com/justinroeth/?hl=en

Join Patreon to learn about how minerals impact digestion and basic supports for your gut!What if you could heal your gut without stool testing or protocols?In this episode, I map a simple path that doesn't require labs or fancy add-ons. You're going to learn four specific areas that anyone can use to heal their gut for good (and none of them are pills). The real blocker is the common state many people are in that shuts down digestion and irritates the gut lining.

Are you loving it? Send Ash a text! Even after I slowed down, healed, lost 40 pounds, and felt like a brand-new human, the old patterns still tiptoed back in. Not the dramatic face-down-on-the-floor kind of burnout, just the sneaky version that makes you pause and say, “Oh, interesting… you again?” It was enough to make me curious.This part-two debrief is me pulling back the curtain on why urgency creeps in even after rest, how cortisol becomes our go-to fuel source, and the small, doable resets that actually change the pattern without blowing up your entire life. Think of it as the gentle, real-life guide to breaking the burnout cycle… and all the tiny daily shifts that we all need.TOPICS & TANGENTS:• When old patterns creep back after rest • Cortisol addiction and why stress starts to feel like energy • How “busy” becomes an identity we get praised for • Childhood wiring: control, chaos, and early responsibility • Relational fawning: regulating everyone but yourself • The urgency we learn young (and why I still watch our mornings) • Tiny resets that help: the 90-second nothing timer, sense grounding, and vagus-nerve hums • Values vs. ideals: hearing your life tell the truth • The Somatic Wealth Framework: Regulate, Reflect, RewirePOINT OF THE STORY:You can't out-sabbatical a nervous system pattern. The shift isn't a life overhaul; it's honest values + tiny, embodied resets repeated today.RELAUNCH GIVEAWAY (10/29 – 10/31): Free Access to The Energy Advantage (Mini - less than 15 minutes!)

What if your thyroid labs say you're “normal,” but your body keeps saying otherwise? In this episode of Rooted in Wellness, my guest McCall McPherson, PA-C, founder and medical director of Modern Thyroid Clinic, joins me to uncover the science, symptoms, and solutions behind the thyroid epidemic. We explore why millions of women are told their labs look fine yet still feel exhausted, foggy, anxious, or stuck in bodies that no longer respond the way they used to. Together we unpack what's missing in conventional thyroid care: why optimal ranges matter more than “normal,” how Hashimoto's and Graves fit into the autoimmune puzzle, and how hormonal shifts during postpartum and perimenopause often trigger deeper imbalances. We talk adrenals, cortisol patterns, gut inflammation, and toxins, and how to use fasting and movement as gentle tools for restoration rather than depletion. McCall McPherson, PA-C, is the founder and medical director of Modern Thyroid Clinic, a nationwide integrative telemedicine practice specializing in advanced thyroid and hormone optimization.  What's Discussed: (00:00) Why “Normal” Isn't Well: The Hidden Story of Thyroid Health (08:47) The Labs That Actually Matter, and Why Ranges Can Mislead You (18:42) Autoimmunity, Hormones, and the Female Thyroid Connection (26:47) Metabolism, Fasting, and Healing from the Inside Out (39:13) Adrenals, Cortisol, and How Stress Shapes Thyroid Function (49:25) Movement That Heals: Rethinking Exercise for Energy and Balance (01:02:33) Food, Inflammation, and the Power of Personalized Nutrition (01:10:00) From Confusion to Clarity: Becoming Your Own Thyroid Advocate Thank You to Our Sponsors: Rooted Academy: Join Rooted Academy by Mona Sharma, a science-backed, community-driven wellness platform designed to help you heal from within.

If you live with migraines, you know the fear — the fear of saying yes to something you might have to cancel, the guilt when you disappoint someone again, and the frustration of watching your life shrink to fit your pain. That fear doesn't just live in your head — it lives in your body. When your brain constantly sends the message “we're not safe,” your nervous system stays stuck in fight-or-flight. Cortisol rises, inflammation builds, and your body forgets how to relax and repair. In this episode, I'm sharing how chronic stress and fear keep your body trapped in migraine mode — and how to retrain your brain and nervous system to finally feel safe again. Because when your brain feels safe, your body can heal. You'll learn why mindset shifts and nervous system regulation are key to reducing inflammation, raising your migraine threshold, and reclaiming your freedom. In This Episode, I'll Share: Why constant worry and guilt keep your body stuck in fight-or-flight mode. How stress hormones like cortisol and adrenaline directly impact inflammation and migraines. The science of safety — and how shifting your thoughts can literally change your physiology. What we focus on inside the Freedom From Migraines Method® to help you calm your brain-body connection. Practical steps to move from fear and frustration to safety and healing.   Resources & Links ✨ Join me live on November 5th at 6:30 PM for my free training: “Why Every Migraine Pill, Diet, and Gadget Stops Working — And the #1 Root Cause No One Told You About.” You'll learn the science behind your migraines, how stress drives inflammation, and what you can do to raise your migraine threshold for good.

In part 1 of the Cardiometabolic Rx podcast, host Emma Sutherland is joined by Dr Adrian Lopresti, Dr Michelle Woolhouse, Lisa Costa-Bir, and Mick Alexander for a wide-ranging discussion on the foundations of cardiometabolic health. Together, they explore how individualised nutrition, hormonal balance, stress adaptation, and muscle and bone integrity as well as kidney health influence metabolic outcomes, emphasising why truly integrative care must extend beyond BMI, cholesterol and blood pressure checks. The panel shares the latest evidence on emerging assessment tools - including continuous glucose monitoring, homocysteine and trimethyl amine and oxide (TMAO) testing, and the body roundness index and how these measures can reveal early signs of dysfunction before overt disease develops. In an engaging exchange of clinical perspectives, the ambassadors uncover the “silent hijackers” of cardiometabolic health such as poor sleep, loneliness, medications, and gut dysbiosis. This thought-provoking discussion challenges long-held assumptions and equips practitioners with practical, evidence-based strategies to assess and address cardiometabolic risk at every stage of patient care.

Leyla Muedin, a registered dietitian nutritionist, discusses the gastrointestinal (GI) side effects commonly experienced by patients using GLP-1 medications such as Ozempic and Rybelsus. Leyla introduces a nutraceutical called Digexin, created by N-X-T-U-S-A, which has shown promise in mitigating these side effects and improving overall well-being. The episode highlights the need for patients to prioritize animal protein intake and incorporate strength training to maintain muscle mass, especially when taking GLP-1 medications. Leyla emphasizes the importance of developing healthy habits and lifestyle changes to sustain weight loss after discontinuing these drugs.
