How often do you experience two competing desires at once? Maybe you want to eat the cake, but you also want to reach your physique goals. Do you make either one of those desires wrong for existing? This internal tug-of-war between immediate pleasure and long-term progress is something I see consistently in my coaching practice. Having competing desires around food and body goals doesn't mean there's anything wrong with you – it makes you human. In this episode, I break down how to hold space for competing desires without shame or self-judgment. I share practical mindset tools for making intentional food choices, including how to slow down, create awareness, and choose from a place of empowerment rather than restriction. We'll also explore why resentment develops and how to shift from feeling deprived to feeling in control of your decisions.

Episode Overview:You've heard of the nervous system, the endocrine system, and the immune system. But what about the endocannabinoid system (ECS)—the one that helps regulate all of them?In this episode, Georgie breaks down one of the most overlooked systems in human biology. Discovered through cannabis research but far more than a cannabis issue, the ECS plays a critical role in maintaining balance across mood, metabolism, hormones, inflammation, pain, and immune response.So why isn't it taught in medical school? And how is that omission impacting the care we receive—especially for women dealing with complex, chronic symptoms?This is a must-listen if you're a health-conscious woman, clinician, innovator, or advocate wondering why the healthcare system keeps missing the root cause.What You'll Learn:What the endocannabinoid system is—and what it isn'tHow the ECS helps regulate key systems: hormonal, metabolic, immune, and neurologicalWhy cannabis stigma is still limiting ECS education in medicineThe real-world consequences of not teaching ECS in medical or nursing schoolWhy women with complex symptoms may be falling through the cracksHow diet, stress, and trauma can dysregulate the ECS—and what to do about itWhat clinicians, patients, and innovators need to know nowRelated Resources:Read the blog post: The System That Regulates Everything (citations for this episode included)**Top 50 Health Podcast of 2024** Want men to better understand how to you during your menopause journey!

IN THIS EPISODE:(00:00) Intro: Our healthcare system is one size fits all(05:08) Andrea shares her motivation for her journey into functional nutrition, and a discussion of Western medicine(07:41) Should every person receive the same treatment for the same chronic condition(11:45) How to choose a guide in the health equation(16:40) Knowing the difference between your signs vs. symptoms(21:59) Andrea walks us through the “three roots and many branches” model(28:36) The roles digestion and inflammation play in our health(33:37) Tiers to nutrition mastery. Tier one is our non-negotiables(36:40) Don't neglect your passion and purpose(38:48) Andrea's non-negotiable trifecta: Sleep, poop, and blood sugarKEY TAKEAWAYS:Chronic health conditions must be understood through a systems-based lens, not just symptom management. Every chronic issue has three core roots—genes, digestion, and inflammation. Healing begins by nurturing these “roots” and the surrounding “soil,” rather than chasing individual symptoms alone. Western medicine excels in acute care but often falls short in managing chronic conditions. Patients are frequently seen through the lens of their diagnosis rather than as whole individuals, resulting in treatments that overlook their unique health histories and personal needs.One of the most powerful tools patients can use is specific, emotion-free communication based on personal health tracking. By clearly distinguishing between signs (measurable indicators like fever or rash) and symptoms (subjective experiences like fatigue or pain) and offering detailed timelines of when and how issues arise, patients empower providers to better understand and address their unique health needs.Supporting foundational health can start with three simple, non-negotiable nutrition habits: include fat, fiber, and protein at every meal or snack to help stabilize blood sugar; eat the rainbow to boost fiber and phytonutrient intake while feeding your microbiome; and know your yes-no-maybe list to understand better how specific foods impact your body. Tracking what makes you feel great, what doesn't, and what you're unsure about builds awareness and equips you to have more productive, personalized conversations with your healthcare provider.QUOTES: (07:41) “The first two gaps I encountered were that people are treated like their diagnosis. So, when you are in the medical system, you are your endometriosis, your fibroids, your breast cancer, your PMS. You are your symptom. The other gap was that everybody with the same symptom or diagnosis was treated the same.” - Andrea Nakayama(09:34) “A chronic condition means you're sick and you're not getting better. There's things going on for a long time, and our medical system isn't trained to address chronic conditions.” Andrea Nakayama(25:32) “The three roots of any chronic condition are always our genes, digestion and inflammation. All three need to be tended to for the branches to express themselves more fully.” - Andrea Nakayama(36:53) “We have an episode called the Longevity Equation, and one about Blue Zones and one of the big factors there that everybody seems to overlook is community and connection.” - Jenn TrepeckRESOURCES:Become A Member of Salad with a Side of FriesJenn's Free Menu PlanA Salad With a Side of FriesA Salad With A Side Of Fries MerchA Salad With a Side of Fries InstagramNutrition Nugget: Genes and EpigeneticsSalad With a Side of Fries: The Longevity EquationSalad With a Side of Fries: Blue Zones: A Blueprint for Physical and Mental HealthSalad With a Side of Fries: The Down and DirtyGUEST RESOURCES:Andrea Nakayama - WebsiteFunctional Nutrition Alliance - WebsiteAndrea Nakayama - InstagramFunctional Nutrition Alliance - YouTubeAndrea Nakayama - PinterestAndrea Nakayama, Functional Nutritionist & EducatorAndrea Nakayama - Functional Nutrition Alliance | LinkedInGUEST BIOGRAPHY:Andrea is a Functional Medicine Nutritionist and educator who has led thousands of clients and teaches even more coaches and clinicians worldwide.

If you're feeling fatigue, burnout, or just not like yourself lately… this might be why: you're leaking energy. In this solo episode, I'm diving into the three biggest energy drains I've experienced—and what might be draining you without even realizing it.

In this episode: Why even "productive thoughts" like perfectionism tank your nervous system The 3 biggest energy leaks: people, patterns, and mindset Why your lack of motivation might actually be leaking energy, not lack of discipline What emotional labor and “attention residue” have to do with your burnout This isn't about cutting people off or hustling harder.

Hey, you wonderful and amazing listeners to The Armor Men's Health Show! Thanks for tuning in again and sharing this with your friends! This round, Dr. Mistry and Donna Lee spend time again with one of their favorite guests, Dr. Declan Fleming! They all start off in segment one discussing how cancer diagnoses are changing and how doctors really do NOT want patients to become sicker and sicker which is contrary to some people's beliefs. Between 1930 and 2006, the cancer rates increased annually but at around 2006, they started to flatten out. Since then, most of the cancer rates have been going down except for five of them - thyroid cancer, neuroendocrine tumors, stomach cancer, liver cancer and skin cancer. One of those is due to an unintended consequence from using over-the-counter medicines for GERD! Be careful when taking these medications for more than six weeks: Prilosec, Pepcid, Tagamet, Protonix, Nexium. If you need these medications for more than several weeks, please see a physician because they can be dangerous which could lead to the esophageal issues and even cancer. Dr. Mistry and Dr. Fleming also talk about fatty liver disease and the inherent dangers with the substances of the liver. In a nutshell, fat causes inflammation which is the enemy to the body so let's get rid of it! In the second segment, Dr. Mistry and Dr. Fleming discuss something new in medicine called a "liquid biopsy" which Dr. Fleming explains in great detail about finding cancer and how to treat it better and better with the newest technology. Fascinating! Dr. Mistry and Dr. Fleming also refer to possible medical "dumpster fires" (yes, that's a medical phrase) and how Dr. Fleming is the appropriate surgeon to fix a lot of them over other types of surgeons. The doctors also talk about the different types of cancers and why more aggressive treatments are needed for some but not necessarily others. Dr. Fleming is a faculty member at UT Dell Medical School and is an Associate Professor there as well.

Episode OverviewIn this episode of Fempower Health, we break down one of the most common—and misunderstood—conditions women face after menopause: Genitourinary Syndrome of Menopause (GSM).Often referred to by symptoms like vaginal dryness, painful sex, burning with urination, or frequent UTIs, GSM affects nearly half of postmenopausal women. Yet many women are never told it has a name—let alone that it's treatable.We're unpacking what the new 2025 GSM guidelines reveal, and why they mark a turning point in how clinicians should diagnose and treat this condition.What You'll LearnWhat Genitourinary Syndrome of Menopause (GSM) really meansHow GSM symptoms impact vaginal, sexual, and urinary healthWhy vaginal estrogen is a frontline treatment, even with systemic HRTCommon myths about lubricants, moisturizers, and “just aging”The difference between managing GSM vs. masking itWhy GSM often goes unaddressed in clinical settings—and what needs to changeWhat the 2025 guidelines clarify for patients and providers alikeHow untreated GSM can impact confidence, relationships, and even career performanceWhy This MattersToo often, women's health is narrowly defined as periods, pregnancy, and menopause hot flashes. But vaginal and urinary health after menopause deserves equal attention.Whether you're a patient, provider, or policymaker, understanding GSM is essential to changing the conversation around what midlife care really looks like.Related ResourcesRead Burning, Dryness, Pain?
