Send a text to Melissa and she'll answer it on the next episode. Let's talk honestly about constipation—what's truly normal, what's not, and how to get back to regular without relying on harsh laxatives. We break down the real signs of constipation beyond just “skipping days,” including hard, dry stools, straining, incomplete emptying, or no urge at all, and we map those patterns to targeted homeopathic remedies that support the body rather than forcing it.We walk through practical matches: Nux vomica for tense, irritable, stressed-out “always urging, never empty” patterns; Bryonia for dryness and pain that worsen with movement; Alumina when there's no urge and sluggish bowels; Silica for the “bashful stool” that slips back in; Opium for severe sluggishness after anesthesia or medications; Calc Carb for slow metabolism and large, painful stools, especially in kids; and Lycopodium for afternoon bloating, trapped gas, and IBS-like discomfort. Along the way, we share how to choose potencies and frequency with a light, sensible touch.Beyond remedies, we dig into the everyday shifts that make a big difference: choosing the right magnesium and pairing it with Mag phos, staying truly hydrated, using warm lemon water to prime digestion, and leaning on fruit like prunes, pears, kiwi, and berries. Movement matters more than most people realize, so we offer simple ideas—from walking to gentle squats—to nudge peristalsis. Parents will find guidance for easing fear and withholding in kids with kindness and flexible strategies.We also flag when to seek medical input: blood in stool, severe pain, more than five days without a bowel movement, unexplained weight loss, or recurring episodes. Most of all, we connect the dots between elimination and whole-body health—mood, skin, energy—so you can move from coping to confident.

Maximizing Fitness, Fat Loss & Running Through Perimenopause
Most often, what helps us heal and thrive in midlife is not another supplement, medication, tracker, hack, or protocol… but instead, it's slowing down enough to let joy, clarity in how to best support our female body, and our confidence shine bright.In this deeply personal and unexpectedly powerful episode, Louise, a leading expert for perimenopausal active women and runners, shares the real story behind her “perimenopause support cat” and why it represents something much bigger than adopting a pet. She opens up about burnout as a high achieving woman and runner, nervous system overload, and the hidden cost of being a driven woman for decades. Through honest reflection, she challenges the obsession with data like HRV and the scale, reminding listeners that more numbers do not always mean better health. Also, she challenges you to reflect on what you want out of this stage of life; is it more supplements, meds, and confusion or is it clarify, calm, and confidence in knowing you have control over your longevity in vibrant active living?Louise explores how constant striving and muscling through life can keep women stuck in fight-or-flight, especially in perimenopause. She explains why simplicity, consistency, self-trust, and emotional safety matter more than ever. She also touches on identity shifts, motherhood, alignment, and what it really means to feel calm, present, and alive again.The takeaway is clear: healing and thriving in midlife often starts by choosing softness, presence, and a deep connection to yourself over perfection. You do not need to do more. You likely need to do (much) less, with intention.Join Louise in reflecting on lessons learned and unlocking the best version of your fit, strong, and vibrantly happy active life!Learn with my free nutrition guide and award-winning Academy to thrive through perimenopause with less stress: https://www.breakingthroughwellness.com/Learn about adventure cats: https://www.adventurecats.org/Learn about AffoGATO Cat Cafe: https://affogatocatcafe.com/Link to our FullScript where you can see curated best supplement picks & save 20% off: https://us.fullscript.com/welcome/breakingthroughwellness/store-start Take advantage of our podcast listener discount and save 20% off all of Kion's science-backed clean products: https://www.getkion.com/pages/maximizingEpisode Highlights:(0:00) Intro(3:04) Why a “perimenopause support cat”(5:54) HRV, data obsession, and when tracking backfires(7:38) Why high-achieving women struggle most in perimenopause(10:33) Letting go of the scale and metrics(12:16) Stepping away from comparison and social media(13:13) Identity shifts, ambition, and the hidden cost of success(17:00) Chronic stress, inflammation, and the pace of life(19:22) Choosing calm, joy, and simplicity(27:13) Motherhood, presence, and emotional repair(33:39) Redefining impact and success(41:32) Living more, optimizing lessTune in weekly to "Maximizing Hormones, Physique, and Running Through Perimenopause" for our simple female-specific science-based revolution.

Maximizing Fitness, Fat Loss & Running Through Perimenopause
What if the problem isn't that you're doing too little, but that you're trying to do everything at once?In this episode, Louise, one of the world's leading health, fitness, and performance experts for ambitious active women and runners, shares a powerful reframing for women navigating perimenopause, health, fat loss, and performance. Instead of chasing all goals at the same time, she introduces a four months at a time-based approach to the year, focusing on one clear priority at a time. Whether that's restoring vibrant health and hormones, losing fat, improving body composition, leveling up a fit toned physique or running stronger, the message is clear: clarity and focus creates results.Louise breaks down why fat loss should be treated as a short, intentional phase, not a lifestyle, and how staying stuck in “diet mode” quietly sabotages hormones, our metabolism, energy, and confidence. She also explains why food is more than fuel. It's information and molecules that signal a specific effect and impact on the female body. The right foods, eaten in the right state, give your body the molecules it needs to build hormones, recover from training, mitigate frustrating symptoms, improve health, and thrive through perimenopause.The episode also challenges the idea that women should slow down or stop running as they age. With the right fueling, strength training, and recovery, women can run strong well into perimenopause and beyond. The women of Breaking Through Wellness are proudly living proof of what is possible when we work with our changing female physiology and not against it!If you want a calmer nervous system, better results, and a smarter way to train and eat in 2026, this episode lays out a sustainable path forward.Learn & level up with my free nutrition guide and award-winning Badass Breakthrough Academy to thrive through perimenopause with less stress: https://www.breakingthroughwellness.com/Link to our FullScript where you can see our curated best supplement picks & save 20% off: https://us.fullscript.com/welcome/breakingthroughwellness/store-start Take advantage of our podcast listener discount and save 20% off all of Kion's science-backed clean products: https://www.getkion.com/pages/maximizingEpisode Highlights:(0:00) Intro(4:39) Building a foundation for hormones and long-term health(6:56) The four main focus areas women cycle through(10:20) Why fat loss should be a phase, not a lifestyle(14:12) How focused support improves results and reduces stress(18:30) Food as molecules and nervous system regulation(24:47) Running strong through perimenopause and beyond(31:22) Three mindset shifts to thrive in 2026(33:48) OutroTune in weekly to "Maximizing Hormones, Physique, and Running Through Perimenopause" for our simple female-specific science-based revolution.

Did you know that amino acids play a crucial role in building stronger bones, accelerating recovery, and enhancing your overall health? As many of us struggle with protein deficiencies, today's discussion uncovers the crucial role amino acids play in maintaining strong bones and overall wellness. In this episode, I'm thrilled to have Dr. David Minkoff, a medical expert with over 50 years of experience, sharing his valuable insights on amino acids and their impact on bone health. We dive into his product, Perfect Amino, which has helped countless people, including me, boost recovery after intense workouts and improve overall strength. Dr. Minkoff discusses how amino acid deficiencies can slow recovery, hinder bone regeneration, and affect muscle growth, making supplementation a simple yet powerful solution. Tune in to learn about the transformative power of amino acids and how incorporating them into your routine can make a significant difference. I've been using these products myself and have noticed remarkable benefits.

Welcome to a brand new year on the Beautifully Broken Podcast. In this solo episode, I'm reflecting on what mattered most in 2025 and what I'm bringing into 2026 with intention and clarity. I talk about the frustrations I've felt with the wellness world's obsession with quick-fix marketing, and how that led me back to the basics: digestion, cellular health, nervous system regulation, and real human connection.You'll hear the most impactful changes I made, like dialing back my supplements, leaning into bioavailable fats, ditching Amazon for Fullscript, and embracing "the year of the gases" with nanobubbled oxygen and Brown's gas. I share how I built a community around healing, hosted my first wellness event, and finally brought the Biological Blueprint Academy to life. This is a behind-the-scenes look at the principles that grounded me and the practices that restored me. And yes, it's all rooted in love, curiosity, and cellular integrity. Episode Highlights[00:00] – Kicking off 2026 and calling out the marketing noise in the wellness world[02:00] – Simplifying supplements: how lab work shaped a leaner, smarter stack[03:50] – Fullscript vs Amazon: why sourcing and quality control matter[05:30] – Mago7, digestion, and the real-life wins that come from getting “regular”[06:45] – The year of gases: hydrogen, Brown's gas, oxygen baths, and what really helped my sleep[10:12] – Building therapies into daily life without stealing time[12:35] – CO₂ tolerance and breathing into cognitive clarity[14:00] – Beam Minerals and foundational mineral support[15:25] – Living the work: grounding, breathwork, cold exposure, red light, and temperature as medicine[17:51] – Genetics, mold sensitivity, and why foundational awareness is so powerful[20:14] – South Austin Wellness Project: hosting my first healing community event[22:36] – Access, advocacy, and why sharing healing tools is a mission, not a market[24:55] – New website, Substack migration, and podcast episode mini-pages[26:00] – A manifesto for 2026: depth over drip, principles over protocols[27:11] – The podcast as discovery: why this journey means everything to me Links & ResourcesSilver Biotics: bit.ly/3JnxyDD— 30% off with Code: BEAUTIFULLYBROKENCathcBio https://www.catchbio.com/beautifullybroken— Code: beautifullybrokenStemRegn: https://www.stemregen.co/products/release?_ef_transaction_id=&affid=52&oid=1Beam Minerals: http://beamminerals.com/beautifullybroken— Code: BEAUTIFULLYBROKEN CONNECT WITH FREDDIEWork with Me: https://www.beautifullybroken.world/biological-blueprintWebsite and Store: (http://www.beautifullybroken.world) Instagram: (https://www.instagram.com/beautifullybroken.world/) YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@freddiekimmel Hosted by Simplecast, an AdsWizz company.

Send a text to Melissa and she'll answer it on the next episode. Hemorrhoids aren't glamorous, but the path to relief doesn't have to be confusing or painful. We unpack what's actually going on—internal, external, prolapsed, and thrombosed types—and translate symptoms into a simple, calm plan you can use at home. You'll learn how to read the signs your body gives you: bleeding that points to venous weakness, stabbing “golf ball” pain without much blood, relentless itching made worse by heat and long sitting, and constipation from stress or diet that keeps flares going.We walk through a practical remedy map so you can act with confidence. Hamamelis for dark, venous bleeding and bruised soreness; Arnica for trauma and straining, especially postpartum; Aesculus hippocastanum for sharp, stabbing pain with heaviness and dryness; Sulphur for burning itch that craves cool; Nux vomica for the tense, constipated, irritable pattern; Collinsonia for pregnancy and postpartum pressure with dry stool; and Aloe for protruding hemorrhoids with a “loose” sensation and urgent morning stools. We also explain how and when to use the Banerji-style protocol pairing Hamamelis 200C with Arnica 3C, and what to adjust as symptoms improve.Supportive habits matter just as much. Hydration with trace minerals, magnesium to ease stool passage, warm Epsom sitz baths, witch hazel compresses, fiber-rich foods, and less time sitting all reduce strain and help tissues heal. We share clear guidance on red flags—heavy or persistent bleeding, severe pain, fever, or uncertainty about the source of bleeding—and why getting checked can be an empowering step, not a surrender of autonomy. Most hemorrhoids respond well to targeted remedies plus steady daily care, and with the right match you can often feel relief within a day or two.If you're ready to build skills and get personalized guidance, join the Inner Healing Circle at join.melissacrinshaw.com or book a consult at melissacrinshaw.com.

Do you believe in "miracles" when wellness-minded runners understand simple sustainable ways to work with our changing hormones and female physiology? After this profound success story, you will!What if the pain, exhaustion, and burnout you have been pushing through are not things you have to “power through,” but signals asking for a different approach?Louise, a multi award-winning women's integrative health practitioner and physiologist, sits down with longtime running friend Kim, a mental health practitioner, to share a deeply honest journey overcoming chronic injuries, perimenopause symptoms, nervous system overload, and healing from the inside out. Kim opens up about years of pain, hot flashes, disrupted sleep, autoimmunity, blood sugar chaos, running injuries, and feeling stuck despite doing all the “right” things.They explore how shifting focus from pushing harder to regulating the nervous system, revamping how she trains and lifts, and up-regulating natural hormone production and balance, energy and blood sugar balance using the Breaking Through Wellness whole foods fueling framework changed everything. Kim shares how less overall running mileage, more strength training, strategic speed work, better fueling, and nervous system regulation helped eliminate chronic pain, reversed prediabetes and autoimmunity labs, and restore her confidence as a runner and caring compassionate professional.The conversation introduces brain spotting, a therapy that helps process stored trauma and stress at the root level rather than just talk therapy. Through a live demo, listeners hear how this work can reduce emotional activation, improve calm, break through performance blocks, and support long-term healing.This episode is valuable for active women who love to run, feel, and look their best navigating perimenopause, burnout, stored trauma, or chronic stress who want a sustainable path forward without feeling broken or overwhelmed.Watch this episode on my website blog & grab a copy with my free nutrition guide to thrive through perimenopause with less stress: https://www.breakingthroughwellness.com/blogLearn more about Kim's psychotherapy practice & services: https://www.gillettepsychotherapy.com Find a brain spotting therapist near you: https://brainspotting.com/directory/ Link to our FullScript where you can see our curated best supplement picks & save 20% off: https://us.fullscript.com/welcome/breakingthroughwellness/store-start Take advantage of our podcast listener discount and save 20% off all of Kion's science-backed clean products: https://www.getkion.com/pages/maximizing Episode Highlights:(0:00) Intro(8:37) Reconnecting Through Running And Community(11:54) Burnout, Injury, And Reaching A Breaking Point(13:34) Chronic Pain, Hot Flashes, And Stress(15:57) Shocking Health Improvements And Lab Results(17:13) Nervous System Regulation(22:17) Healing Through Community And SupportTune in weekly to "Maximizing Hormones, Physique, and Running Through Perimenopause" for our simple female-specific science-based revolution.

Maximizing Fitness, Fat Loss & Running Through Perimenopause
What if “leveling up” has nothing to do with doing more, pushing harder, or chasing the next goal?In this honest 2025 wrap-up episode, Louise, one of the world's leading health, fitness and performance experts, reflects on a year that changed her in ways she never expected. While the outside markers of success were there, running strong, looking more fit, exponential business growth and endless client wins, the real transformation happened internally. She opens up about the unexpected ways burnout can show up, perimenopause, nervous system overload, and the pressure women feel to constantly prove themselves in a loud, opinion-driven wellness world.Louise shares why she stepped back from social media, returned to science over trends, and recommitted to deeply personal, holistic work with her clients. She challenges black-and-white thinking around hormones, HRT, fitness, and health, making space for nuance, choice, and individual needs. Most importantly, she reframes success as energy, presence, health, and alignment, not hustle or scale.This episode is especially meaningful for ambitious active women navigating perimenopause, burnout, or a quiet sense that the old way of pushing just isn't working anymore. It's a reminder that slowing down can be the most powerful step forward, and that working with your body, not against it, changes everything.Check out my blog's new bonus free resource “Is it perimenopause, running burnout or BOTH?

Maximizing Fitness, Fat Loss & Running Through Perimenopause
Unfortunately, we live in a world where valuing a lifestyle that protects our best health, fitness, and vibrant athletic performance often makes other people uncomfortable. Let's talk about how to navigate this frustrating scenario!In this episode, Louise, as one of the world's leading integrative health and fitness practitioners, speaks honestly about a topic many ambitious active women quietly struggle with: fit shaming. As women move through perimenopause and menopause, prioritizing nutrition, movement, and recovery is not about vanity. It is about feeling good, staying strong, and protecting long-term vibrant health. Louise explains why old rules like calories in versus calories out no longer work, and why hormones, blood sugar regulation, understanding the new influence of stress on our female body, and female-specific fueling strategies matter more than ever.She also shares a deeply personal story of overhearing criticism from someone close to her and how that moment forced her to reflect, reset, and take action to protect her peace. Through conversations with her daughter, her Breaking Through Wellness community, and her clients, a powerful truth emerges. Choosing health can trigger resentment in others, but it can also inspire change.Listeners will walk away with simple language to respond to harsh or judgmental comments, practical holiday strategies that remove guilt around food, and a mindset shift from fear to curiosity. This episode is a reminder that taking care of yourself by eating and moving strategically and vibrantly well is NOT selfish. It is leadership for your family, your health, and the women admiring you.Learn & level up with my free nutrition guide and award-winning Badass Breakthrough Academy to thrive through perimenopause with less stress: https://www.breakingthroughwellness.com/Link to Episode #19 “How to Rise Above Fit Shaming & Confidently Unlock Your Next Level” https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/maximizing-hormones-physique-running-through-perimenopause/id1716725195?i=1000648332976Link to our FullScript where you can see our curated best supplement picks & save 20%: https://us.fullscript.com/welcome/breakingthroughwellness/store-start Take advantage of our podcast listener discount and save 20% off all of Kion's science-backed clean products: https://www.getkion.com/pages/maximizingEpisode Highlights:(0:00) Intro(3:12) Why Aging Requires New Health Strategies(4:04) Hormones Over Calories And Macros(5:38) When Lifestyle Changes Trigger Fit Shaming(6:45) Hearing Hard Truths From Someone Close(9:44) Learning Not To Impose Health Choices(13:16) A Child's Experience With Fit Shaming(16:56) Holiday Food Without Guilt Or Shame(25:22) Boundaries And Protecting Your Peace(30:04) Turning Fear Into Curiosity And Confidence(33:45) OutroTune in weekly to "Maximizing Hormones, Physique, and Running Through Perimenopause" for our simple female-specific science-based revolution.

Are you eating all the right foods, taking supplements, and still feeling tired, bloated, or stuck with stubborn weight? You might not have a food problem… you might have a digestion problem. In this episode of The Coach Debbie Potts Show, Debbie takes you deep inside the root cause of many "mystery" symptoms — low stomach acid (HCl) — and explains why this one simple imbalance can create a domino effect across your metabolism, hormones, energy, and brain. You'll learn: ✅ How stomach acid actually works — and why it's the spark plug for your entire digestive system ✅ The connection between low HCl, fatigue, hormone imbalance, thyroid function, and brain fog ✅ The weird clues your body gives you (like brittle nails, reflux, or even body odor) ✅ How HCl "unlocks" essential minerals like iron, zinc, and magnesium — and what happens when it doesn't ✅ Why PPIs and antacids can make things worse long-term ✅ The fascinating nitric oxide connection for gut health, motility, and LES tone ✅ How to safely restore your stomach acid, rebuild digestion, and reignite your metabolism ✅ The step-by-step FutureYou™ Rebuild Plan to move from metabolic chaos to metabolic harmony "Your stomach acid isn't the problem — it's the messenger. When you restore that first spark, everything downstream—your energy, hormones, and metabolism—starts working again."

In this powerful conversation, Karen Martel interviews blood sugar expert Danielle Hamilton about one of the most common yet misunderstood midlife symptoms: waking up at 2–4AM and being unable to fall back asleep.If you've been told your nighttime wakeups are “just hormones,” “just stress,” or “just insomnia,” this episode will be a game-changer.Dani breaks down: • why midlife women suddenly struggle with late-night blood sugar crashes • the difference between true hypoglycemia and metabolic hypoglycemia • how insulin, leptin, cortisol, and light exposure shape your overnight blood sugar • why keto helped you… until it didn't • how seasonal eating, fat/carb balance, and circadian biology affect sleep • the emotional + nervous system patterns common in people with hypoglycemia • why band-aids (snacks, progesterone, supplements) help temporarily but not long-term • the surprising role of histamine, stress addiction, and mitochondrial overload • what to do during the day to fix what's happening at nightThis is one of the most comprehensive, compassionate explanations you will ever hear about nighttime wakeups, and why the “eat a snack before bed” advice is only a short-term fix.Want to Join the next Cohort of Blood Sugar Mastery?
