In this episode, Tina sits down with fellow FDN practitioner Michele Scarlet for an honest conversation about women's health, metabolism, and weight loss. Michele shares her personal story with breast implant illness and how the hidden toxic load on her body impacted her health. They discuss why “healthy habits” like 4 a.m. workouts, fasted training, and constant discipline and willpower can sometimes do more harm than good, and why the “calories in, calories out” approach fails without strong metabolic health. The conversation also dives into the real causes of bloating, the crucial role your liver plays in energy and fat loss, and how to naturally support it for better hormone balance. Michele helps clear up confusion around carbs, belly fat, and CGMs while offering practical strategies to help women achieve true, sustainable health. Here's what you'll learn: - Her personal story with breast implant illness and the hidden toxic load on her body - Why your 4 a.m. workouts, fasted training, and pushing harder could be stalling your progress - Why willpower and discipline aren't the answer and what you should do instead - Why calories in, calories out fails without strong metabolic health - What constant bloating really means and how to fix it - The overlooked role your liver plays in weight loss and metabolism - How to naturally support your liver for better energy and fat loss - Clearing up confusion around carbs, belly fat, and CGMs Explore microdosing and other peptides: https://elliemd.com/tinahaupert Peptides for Women: https://carrotsncake.com/offers/3Q7wttmr?coupon_code=PROTOCOL19 Connect with Tina Haupert: https://carrotsncake.com/ Facebook: Carrots 'N' Cake https://www.facebook.com/carrotsncake Instagram: @carrotsncake https://www.instagram.com/carrotsncake YouTube: Tina Haupert https://www.youtube.com/user/carrotsncake About Tina Haupert: Tina Haupert is the owner of Carrots ‘N' Cake as well as a Certified Nutrition Coach and Functional Diagnostic Nutrition Practitioner (FDN-P).

But it wasn't until I faced my own struggles with fatigue, hormone imbalances, and weight loss resistance that I realized true health goes far deeper than diet and exercise. That's when I turned to functional lab testing and a whole-body approach—and it changed everything. Now, I help women uncover the root cause behind their low energy, hormonal imbalance and their weight loss struggles to achieve lasting results, all while reclaiming the motivation and vitailty they thought they'd lost forever. As a Board-Certified Functional Medicine Practitioner, Functional Diagnostic Nutrition Practitioner, Certified Personal Trainer, and Women's Health Coach, I bring science, strategy, and compassion to every woman I work with.

When it comes to lasting health, it's never just one thing. Your gut, hormones, and brain are in constant communication—and the health of one system directly impacts the others. This “triad” is anchored by the liver and influences nearly every area of your well-being. If you only address one system in isolation, you may see short-term relief, but eventually metabolic chaos catches up. In this episode of the Health Detective Podcast with Alissa Hodgson, we dive into the gut–hormone–brain connection—what it means, why it matters, and how a comprehensive approach creates better outcomes for everyone, from busy women navigating hormone changes to families supporting loved ones with Down syndrome.

When you finally see the data, you realize you're not crazy, you're not failing, and it's not all in your head. You just need the right roadmap.

Story at-a-glance Ginger has a long history of soothing digestive issues and modern research confirms its ability to reduce gut inflammation and support intestinal healing Inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) increases the risk of serious health issues.IBDs like Crohn's disease and ulcerative colitis cause diarrhea, abdominal pain, and fatigue, increasing the risk of malnutrition, intestinal damage, and colorectal cancer if left untreated A recent study found that furanodienone (FDN) in ginger activates the pregnane X receptor (PXR), which reduces gut inflammation and oxidative stress. It also strengthens the intestinal barrier to prevent harmful bacteria from entering the bloodstream Early use of ginger compounds leads to better outcomes, with reduced symptom severity and faster recovery in gut inflammation, especially when started at the first signs of digestive issues Another study found that gingerols and shogaols suppress immune overactivity, lowering IL-1β and TNF-α while blocking key inflammatory pathways that worsen chronic gut conditions
