What if you were doing everything right? Tracking your macros, lifting weights, eating clean and your body still felt inflamed, puffy, and broken?  That was Annie Kundis's reality. A former bodybuilder and competitive powerlifter turned mom and influencer, Annie spent over a decade following every fitness rule in the book only to watch her energy crash, her digestion spiral, and her confidence disappear. In this episode, Annie shares how DUTCH and GI-MAP testing completely changed her life after years of feeling dismissed by traditional doctors who told her to “just eat less and exercise more.” For the first time, real data revealed what was actually happening: low hormones, flipped cortisol, gut infections, and nutrient malabsorption. With that clarity, Annie finally had a roadmap for healing, not more restriction. She opens up about pressing pause on hard training, cutting caffeine, and learning to rest without guilt, plus the simple protocols that led to her first regular digestion in over a decade. We also dive into the emotional side: body dysmorphia, burnout, and rebuilding self-trust after years of fighting her body. Annie's story is raw, hopeful, and deeply relatable, showing that healing isn't about perfection, it's about understanding your body and giving it what it truly needs. If you've ever felt inflamed, exhausted, or unseen by the medical system, this episode will hit home. Tune in to hear how Annie went from survival mode to thriving and why she says today, “I don't feel sick anymore. I finally feel free.” Time Stamps: (3:22) Annie's Health Journey Before Vital Spark(9:37) Navigating Depression(12:52) GI Map and DUTCH Test Results(16:22) Learning To Slow Down(21:12) Trusting The Process(32:59) Where To Find Annie---------------------Follow Annie on Instagram: @ohannieruth Find Out More Information on Vital Spark Coaching---------------------Follow @vanessagfitness on Instagram for daily fitness tips & motivation. ---------------------Download Our FREE Metabolism-Boosting Workout Program---------------------Join the Women's Metabolism Secrets Facebook Community for 25+ videos teaching you how to start losing fat without hating your life!---------------------Click here to send me a message on Facebook and we'll see how I can help or what best free resources I can share!---------------------Interested in 1-on-1 Coaching with my team of Metabolism & Hormone Experts?

If your year has felt like a whirlwind, full of both goodness and growing pains, you're not alone. In this short but powerful episode, I'm sharing four intentional questions that came out of a recent Equestrian Mastermind session. Each question is designed to help you reflect on what's been, and refocus on what matters most as you head into Q4. Whether you journal through them on your own or process them with a trusted biz friend, these questions will help you pause, reset, and finish the year with clarity and purpose.*** Pssst. If you're thinking, “Equestrian mastermind? I need that!” then stay tuned. I have some new group experiences in the works for 2026. ***Show Notes (also known as “Where to read a quick summary of what we talked about here and get links I mentioned.”) are over at Stormlily.com/190

Horse riders in the lower North Island have raised concerns over safe road access. A shared path along the Ōtaki to North of Levin Expressway - a project currently under construction - prompted concern after horse riders were excluded from the path. NZ Equestrian Advocacy Network chairperson Shelly Warwick says the group's lodged a complaint with the Human Rights Commission, citing concerns over equity. "There are alternatives for every other user if you want to take them, but they've made a shared-use path to cater for vulnerable road users to get across this community, but excluded horse riders."

Have you ever felt like stress was just baked into your life?  That no matter what you did, your job, your family, or your schedule would always keep you stuck in survival mode?  I've been there. For years, I told myself, “I'll always be stressed,” and it left me trapped in a cycle of burnout, resentment, and health struggles.  What I've learned is that real healing, whether it's from weight loss resistance, hormone imbalances, gut issues, or autoimmune conditions, can't happen until the nervous system feels safe. In this episode, I'm sharing the three shifts that helped me move from constant overwhelm to a place of regulation and resilience: state, story, and strategy. First, I'll break down how simple physical practices like eating outside in the sun, sipping chamomile tea, or walking between calls helped reset my nervous system.  Then, I'll explain how changing my story moved me out of victim mode and into empowerment, showing how the words we repeat to ourselves literally shape our stress hormones. Finally, I'll share how strategy through boundaries, systems, and structure became the safety net that made everything else sustainable. You'll also hear a practical example of how a full-time working mom could apply these same shifts to create more peace, energy, and balance in her day-to-day life, without adding another overwhelming “to-do.”  Time Stamps: (0:25) The Fall Season (2:10) Work Schedule and The Negative Self-Narrative (7:00) State/Story/Strategy Framework (9:50) Supporting My Physiology (14:10) Combating The All or Nothing Mentality (16:25) The Story You're Telling Yourself (21:05) The Final Piece: Strategy (25:45) Motion.AI (37:10) Tag Us for Accountability---------------------Find Out More Information on Vital Spark Coaching---------------------Follow @vanessagfitness on Instagram for daily fitness tips & motivation. ---------------------Download Our FREE Metabolism-Boosting Workout Program---------------------Join the Women's Metabolism Secrets Facebook Community for 25+ videos teaching you how to start losing fat without hating your life!---------------------Click here to send me a message on Facebook and we'll see how I can help or what best free resources I can share!---------------------Interested in 1-on-1 Coaching with my team of Metabolism & Hormone Experts?

Depuis vingt ans, la fiscalité de la filière équine a connu de nombreuses évolutions, en particulier concernant la TVA. Entre intégration au régime agricole, contestations européennes, manifestations, refontes législatives et stabilisation progressive, les règles applicables aux activités équines se sont complexifiées puis « simplifiées ».Aujourd'hui, la TVA touche tous les acteurs de la filière : centres équestres, éleveurs, entraîneurs ou encore propriétaires. Selon la nature de la prestation ou la destination de l'animal, les taux applicables varient fortement : 2,1 %, 5,5 % ou 20 %. Ces règles peuvent paraître techniques, mais elles ont un impact direct sur la gestion, la tarification et la viabilité économique des structures.Dans ce podcast, Émilie Yvart (Directrice Equicer) et Guillaume Blanc (Directeur de l'accompagnement filière à l'IFCE) retracent l'historique de la TVA équine et expliquent, avec des exemples concrets, les grands principes à connaître : assujettissement, fonctionnement, taux applicables selon les prestations et ventes de chevaux, règles spécifiques pour les pensions ou encore les ventes à l'international.Au-delà des aspects techniques, ils soulignent l'importance d'un ancrage agricole reconnu, des avancées récentes de la fiscalité en faveur de la filière, mais aussi des points de vigilance pour sécuriser juridiquement et économiquement chaque activité.Pour aller plus loin :• Page web – Equicer• Article équipédia - TVA équine : fondamentaux et préconisations• Article équipédia - TVA sur les opérations internationales : principes et préconisations• Podcast - Le cheval est-il un animal de compagnie ? - Guillaume Blanc Si vous souhaitez en savoir plus sur le sujet, rendez-vous sur notre site internet equipedia.ifce.fr où vous trouverez tous les travaux de nos experts.

If you've been watching the Women's Rugby World Cup, you may have noticed players have been wearing special mouthguards that light up when they've suffered a significant knock to the head.It's the first time these concussion-predicting mouthguards have been trialled at a major competition.So in the wake of recent concussion concerns, from professional AFL and rugby league to community competitions, is this the future of sport?You can binge more episodes of the Lab Notes podcast with science journalist and presenter Belinda Smith on the ABC Listen app (Australia).

If you've ever felt stuck in the cycle of bloating, gut issues, and restriction, this episode is going to speak directly to you.  In this interview, I sit down with Vital Spark functional health practitioner coach Elizabeth McMillin, whose story is as relatable as it is inspiring.  Growing up in an Italian household where gluten and dairy were staples, Elizabeth struggled with constant bloating, GI distress, and the stigma of being labeled “big-boned.” As a teen athlete, she fell into the all-too-common restrict–inflame cycle, chasing results through unsustainable habits that left her more inflamed than ever. Her turning point came when she discovered her true triggers and realized healing wasn't about restriction, but nourishment. From the relatable Lenny & Larry's cookie moment to creating her own product, HIIT Dough, Elizabeth turned her pain into purpose, proving it's possible to enjoy food without gut backlash.  In this episode, she shares how calming inflammation allowed her metabolism to finally rev back up, the underestimated role of stress and sleep in gut health, and why she's currently planning deeper functional testing postpartum. Elizabeth also opens up about life as a Special Forces wife, the resilience it demanded, and how that unique perspective now shapes the way she supports her clients. With advanced training under Dr. Carrie Jones's curriculum and deep dives into autoimmunity and hormones, she brings both credibility and compassion to her work. Most importantly, Elizabeth's story mirrors the struggles of so many women and she believes true healing comes when empathy and protocols work hand-in-hand. Whether you've battled gut issues, restrictive diets, or hormonal chaos, you'll walk away from this episode with hope, clarity, and the belief that you don't have to live in survival mode anymore. Tune in to hear how Elizabeth broke free from the restrict–inflame cycle, why she's so passionate about helping women fuel their bodies, and what's truly possible when you address the root cause. Time Stamps: (3:10) Early Gut Issues and Growing Up Italian(7:20) Navigating Inflammation(12:52) Deployment and Stress(16:20) The Creation of HIIT Dough(22:16) Pregnancy During COVID(28:57) Recent Client Case Study(35:42) What Drew Coach Elizabeth To Vital Spark(40:55) We See You(43:24) Where To Find Coach Elizabeth---------------------Follow Abbe on IG: @Blowoutsbyabbeandmore---------------------Find Out More Information on Vital Spark Coaching---------------------Follow @vanessagfitness on Instagram for daily fitness tips & motivation. ---------------------Download Our FREE Metabolism-Boosting Workout Program---------------------Join the Women's Metabolism Secrets Facebook Community for 25+ videos teaching you how to start losing fat without hating your life!---------------------Click here to send me a message on Facebook and we'll see how I can help or what best free resources I can share!---------------------Interested in 1-on-1 Coaching with my team of Metabolism & Hormone Experts?

In this powerful episode of the Equestrian Perspective Podcast, I'm joined by my lovely friends Emiscah Rose and Floriane to share an inspiring story of transformation inside our Nourished experience. Floriane describes her time in Nourished as a storm that cleared away everything in her path that wasn't truly meant for her - a storm that ultimately revealed deeper clarity, alignment, and nourishment on the other side. Together, we explore: The storm of transformation - how leaning into discomfort cleared space for her soul to expand. Healing at the root - Floriane's journey of facing and softening her deep fear of death, and how it reshaped the way she shows up in life and business. The role of horses and somatic wisdom in guiding her back to harmony, courage, and self-trust. The power of nourishment - what it truly means to feel full, aligned, and alive in your body and your purpose. Floriane's story is a reminder that even when transformation feels chaotic and uncertain, on the other side is freedom, expansion, and a deeper connection with life itself. - Explore the details for the next round of Nourished and apply here - https://www.felicitydavies.com.au/nourished Connect with Floriane - https://connectioninbalance.com/ Connect with Emsicah - https://www.emiscahrose.com/ https://www.instagram.com/emiscahrose/ Connect with me - https://www.felicitydavies.com.au https://www.instagram.com/felicitydavies_/

If live feels extremely heavy right now, you're not alone. I once had a conversation with a mentor around this topic about what to do when life is just heavy.  Sometimes we're weighed down because we aren't managing our thoughts well. Sometimes it's because we're in environments that don't serve us.  But other times, life is just heavy and no amount of mindset work or environment shifts seem to fix it right away. In those moments, the best thing we can do is support ourselves until the heaviness passes. In this episode, I share practical and compassionate ways to care for yourself when you feel overwhelmed. We'll talk about why stepping away from social media protects your mental space, and how serving others whether with a simple text or through volunteering can actually ease your own burdens.  You'll hear about the power of healthy community and why it's vital to resist the urge to isolate. I'll also share ideas for lighthearted activities that bring a sense of play, and small but powerful actions you can take for your body, like cooking a nourishing meal or going on a walk. We'll close by exploring gratitude practices, future-focused dreaming, and the importance of remembering that emotional states are temporary. Life isn't meant to feel easy all the time, but with the right tools, you can support yourself through the heavy seasons. Time Stamps: (2:02) Heavy Emotions This Week(6:02) The Extreme Recent Examples(9:11) Filling A Void Through Doom Scrolling(10:32) Doing Something For Someone Else(11:02) Get Around Community(16:07) Finding Playful Activities(23:42) Daydreaming About The Future---------------------Follow Abbe on IG: @Blowoutsbyabbeandmore---------------------Find Out More Information on Vital Spark Coaching---------------------Follow @vanessagfitness on Instagram for daily fitness tips & motivation. ---------------------Download Our FREE Metabolism-Boosting Workout Program---------------------Join the Women's Metabolism Secrets Facebook Community for 25+ videos teaching you how to start losing fat without hating your life!---------------------Click here to send me a message on Facebook and we'll see how I can help or what best free resources I can share!---------------------Interested in 1-on-1 Coaching with my team of Metabolism & Hormone Experts?

#177 - What happens when childhood play transforms into serious sport? In this eye-opening conversation, we saddle up with Kht Shetty, a 20-year-old Polish hobby horse competitor and coach who's redefining what it means to "horse around."Hobby horsing—a sport where participants jump obstacles up to 1.3 meters high while carrying handcrafted stick horses—combines athletic prowess, creative craftsmanship, and equestrian rules into something truly unique. Shetty walks us through this fascinating world, from its Scandinavian origins to the international competitions she now hosts. With remarkable maturity, she explains how the sport mirrors traditional equestrian events like show jumping and dressage, requiring serious training and physical preparation.What's particularly striking about Shetty's journey is her resilience in the face of online criticism. Despite facing cruel comments and even death threats simply for participating in this harmless activity, she remains focused on nurturing the community, especially younger hobbyists who look up to her. The moment she realized her impact—when children lined up for her autograph at a Czech Republic event—stands as a powerful testament to how seemingly niche pursuits can create meaningful connections.Beyond the jumps and competitions, hobby horsing has provided Shetty with entrepreneurial opportunities, leadership skills, and a global community. Her story challenges our assumptions about play and sport while demonstrating how passion, when pursued authentically, can transform both individual lives and communities. Whether you're an equestrian enthusiast or simply curious about unconventional paths, this conversation will have you reconsidering the power of play in our lives.Ready to see hobby horsing in action?

If you've ever felt stuck in the cycle of losing weight, regaining it, and then starting over again, you're not alone. Today we're unpacking yo-yo dieting. Why it happens, what it does to your body, and how to finally break free. Yo-yo dieting often starts with extreme calorie restriction, leading to rapid weight loss that looks successful on the surface. But beneath the scale, your body is losing muscle, becoming inflamed, and stressing your hormones. Inevitably, the restrictive approach becomes impossible to maintain, weight creeps back on (often as fat rather than muscle), and the cycle repeats, sometimes with even greater difficulty losing weight each time. We'll dive into the hidden consequences of yo-yo dieting, from slower metabolism and muscle loss to leptin resistance, where your hunger and fullness hormones stop working properly. This not only makes weight loss harder but also increases cravings, fat storage, and frustration while taking a serious toll on mental health. But it's not all bad news. Breaking free from yo-yo dieting is possible by shifting focus from quick fixes to long-term, sustainable habits. We'll talk about the importance of fueling your body, rebuilding metabolic health, and supporting your hormones with balanced nutrition and consistency. You'll also hear about our client Kayla, who went from eating less than 1,300 calories per day without results, to eating hundreds more, feeling better than ever, and finally seeing her body respond. Her story proves that nourishment, not restriction, is the foundation for lasting health. If you're tired of the yo-yo rollercoaster, this episode will give you clarity, encouragement, and practical steps to move toward real, sustainable change. Time Stamps: (1:21) Omar's Favorite Trait about Vanessa(4:20) Yo-Yo Dieting(5:56) Characteristics of Yo-Yo Dieting(11:56) Weight Regain(13:32) Cycle Repetition(15:42) Why Yo-Yo Dieting Doesn't Work(21:44) Leptin Resistance(31:28) Please Share This Episode---------------------Find Out More Information on Vital Spark Coaching---------------------Follow @vanessagfitness on Instagram for daily fitness tips & motivation. ---------------------Download Our FREE Metabolism-Boosting Workout Program---------------------Join the Women's Metabolism Secrets Facebook Community for 25+ videos teaching you how to start losing fat without hating your life!---------------------Click here to send me a message on Facebook and we'll see how I can help or what best free resources I can share!---------------------Interested in 1-on-1 Coaching with my team of Metabolism & Hormone Experts?

Could something as simple as how you feed your horses be affecting their stress levels and relationships within the herd?On this episode, host Katy Starr chats with Dr. Karen Wimbush, long-time professor and equine welfare researcher at Ohio State ATI about:How feeder spacing impacts herd hierarchy and horse behaviorThe surprising reason dominant horses may actually feel more stress than submissive ones at feeding timeTips for reducing conflict and stress in group feeding set-upsEverything is a tradeoff. Whether you're feeding horses in dry lots, pastures, or shared pens, this episode offers practical takeaways and insights that every horse owner, barn manager, and caretaker should tune in to.

Staying lean isn't about overhauling your entire lifestyle overnight. it's about stacking small, sustainable habits that actually stick. In this episode, we dive into the everyday choices that make the biggest difference when it comes to feeling strong, energetic, and confident year-round. We start by talking about why highly satiating foods are your best friend (especially during those times when hunger seems dialed up) and how minimizing calorie-dense “extras” can keep you feeling satisfied without the crash. From there, we break down the power of a “something over nothing” mentality when it comes to resistance training because it's not about perfection, it's about consistency. You'll also hear why making physical activity a lifestyle is key. Omar shares how Spartan races with his family keep him motivated, I talk about my time riding horses, and we both agree that nothing beats a simple walk. We also unpack the sneaky calories that come from what we drink, why sleep is the real performance enhancer, and how patience and consistency are often the missing ingredients in most fitness journeys. Most importantly, we'll remind you not to obsess over the scale or occasional feelings of heaviness. Progress is much deeper than a number. And when it comes to food, just because it's free doesn't mean you have to eat it. The goal is to choose intentionally, not impulsively. If you've been searching for a realistic, non-extreme approach to staying lean, this episode will give you practical tools and a mindset shift that can last a lifetime. Time Stamps: (1:17) Omar's High and Low This Week(4:17) Ultramarathon Runner's Perspective(6:17) Fresh Spin On An Old Topic(7:08) Small Habits For Staying Lean(9:30) #1: Choose Highly Satiating Foods(13:27) #2: Resistance Train: Something Over Nothing Mentality(15:22) #3: Make Physical Activity A Lifestyle(17:45) #4: Don't Drink Our Calories(19:44) #5: Prioritize Sleep(20:28) #6: Practice Consistency and Patience(21:27) #7: Don't Obsess Over The Scale or Occasional Feelings of Heaviness(23:04) #8: Free Doesn't Mean You Need to Eat It---------------------Find Out More Information on Vital Spark Coaching---------------------Follow @vanessagfitness on Instagram for daily fitness tips & motivation. ---------------------Download Our FREE Metabolism-Boosting Workout Program---------------------Join the Women's Metabolism Secrets Facebook Community for 25+ videos teaching you how to start losing fat without hating your life!---------------------Click here to send me a message on Facebook and we'll see how I can help or what best free resources I can share!---------------------Interested in 1-on-1 Coaching with my team of Metabolism & Hormone Experts?

If you've ever wondered why you keep waking up at 2am, 3am, or right before your alarm goes off, this episode is for you. Middle-of-the-night wake-ups aren't random; they're your body's way of sending signals that something deeper might be out of balance.  Instead of brushing it off as “just bad sleep,” we'll break down what your wake-up times might be revealing about your hormones, gut, blood sugar, and more. Think of your sleep like a night shift at a factory. Different departments run on different schedules. If one department has a problem, the alarm goes off at that time. By tracking your wake-up patterns, you can start to see the clues your body is leaving. We'll dive into the most common causes, from blood sugar dips and cortisol spikes, to low progesterone, high histamine, and even liver overload. You'll hear simple analogies like your brain's “glass of wine” being empty without progesterone, or your liver as the night shift cleaner making noise when it's overloaded that make these complex concepts easy to understand. We'll also cover lifestyle factors like blue light, meal timing, hydration, and circadian rhythm, because sometimes the simplest tweaks make the biggest difference.  By the end, you'll know how to decode your body's signals, track what's really happening, and take small, sustainable steps toward better sleep. Your body isn't broken. It's communicating. This episode will help you finally understand the messages and reclaim deep, restorative rest.  Time Stamps:  (1:25) Upcoming Retreat (3:22) Why Do I Wake Up In The Middle Of The Night? (5:50) Timing Of When You're Waking Up At Night (8:47) 1 to 3 AM and The Liver (9:32) Dryer Lint Talk (11:09) Common Causes of Waking Up (15:17) Cortisol and Blood Sugar (18:05) Low Progesterone (23:54) Dehydration (26:50) Gut Imbalances (29:39) Lifestyle Factors (32:41) First Steps---------------------Find Out More Information on Vital Spark Coaching---------------------Follow @vanessagfitness on Instagram for daily fitness tips & motivation. ---------------------Download Our FREE Metabolism-Boosting Workout Program---------------------Join the Women's Metabolism Secrets Facebook Community for 25+ videos teaching you how to start losing fat without hating your life!---------------------Click here to send me a message on Facebook and we'll see how I can help or what best free resources I can share!---------------------Interested in 1-on-1 Coaching with my team of Metabolism & Hormone Experts?
