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?

Postmenopausal changes can alter your perception of what is normal for your vision, sometimes in ways that go unseen. For example, blinking a few extra times to shake off the gritty feeling in the morning shouldn't be the norm. In fact, it could be your body dropping hints about something bigger going on with your eye health... and even your brain.  In this episode, Dr. Meenal Agarwal, a board-certified optometrist, explains the connection between eye health and the hormonal shifts postmenopausal women experience, and what you can do about it.  Listen now and start looking into your eyes to improve your health!

Ladies, if you're on a fat loss or hormone health journey and you still want to enjoy alcohol… these are the 5 non-negotiables you MUST follow. Ignore them, and alcohol will wreck your metabolism, hormones, and results. Inside this video, I break down: ✅ Why alcohol slows fat metabolism by up to 70% (and how to limit the damage) ✅ The exact alcohol detox supplements (N-acetyl cysteine + activated charcoal) to use before & after you drink ✅ How to track alcohol macros the right way (and why you should log it as carbs) ✅ The importance of cutting alcohol 2–3 hours before bed for recovery, sleep & fat loss ✅ Why you should drink less days than not (and how nightly drinking crushes hormones + gut health) This is not about never drinking again. It's about drinking smarter so you can lose fat, balance hormones, and still enjoy life.

Hey Friend, If you are a mom and you just haven't felt yourself since having kids. If you find yourself EXHAUSTED, irritable, and hanging by a thread.

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?

How is your hormone health supported in your workplace, or is it at all? Lou Furby is setting the standard, along with UK law to establish what Menopause support looks like in the workplace. Her infamous "MenoTalk", an accredited organization within her workplace is to not only supply menopausers with the tools and benefits, but also the support. Unlike other employee resource groups, the members don't have to "do" anything, they just need to show up and be themselves. Often when menstruators are facing perimenopause or menopause, they're turned away from doctors, peers, and managers as we are still fairly new at understanding both the symptoms (since it varies by every single human) but also how to adequately support this stage in life when women seemingly restart puberty all over again. Right now, MenoTalk is only available at SpecSavers, Lou's employer, but wait until she white labels it and delivers it to every organization worldwide! You don't have to reinvent the wheel, Lou has done the heavy lifting and you get to simply receive and implement it in your own workplace.

In this episode, host Chris Duffin sits down with the legendary Clark Bartram—Marine veteran, National Fitness Hall of Fame inductee, and founder of the Maximized Man Elite program. Known as America's most trusted fitness professional, Clark has dedicated his life to inspiring men to reclaim their vitality, strength, and purpose—naturally and sustainably. Clark Bartram's journey in men's health and fitness is nothing short of remarkable. Once a U.S. Marine, Clark transformed his discipline and passion into a decades-spanning career—earning recognition as “America's most trusted fitness professional.” He's inspired millions through books, TV appearances, and elite coaching, notably with his Maximized Man Elite program, guiding men over 40 to reclaim vitality and strength naturally. At age 61, Clark faced a new test: a diagnosis of prostate cancer despite his peak condition. Rather than let it stop him, Clark became an advocate, founding the nonprofit “Check It Like a Man” to promote early screening and awareness.

What's really happening in midlife—menopause, andropause, or just a “crisis”? It is unpacked how aging and declining hormones affect mood, sleep, drive, cognition, and sexual function, and why comprehensive testing and balancing can restore vitality. They reframe lovemaking as daily connection—communication, touch, and shared time—rather than performance metrics. Common barriers include poor circulation, excess weight, and limiting beliefs. Finally, they spotlight longevity role models and argue that living with purpose fuels healthy aging.Get a FREE chapter of Fork Your Diet: http://forkyourdiet.comFor Functional Medical Institute supplements https://shop.fmidr.com/Financial consulting for your future https://kirkelliottphd.com/sherwood/To Find out more information about the plan Kevin Sorbo uses with the Functional Medical Institute https://sherwood.tv/affiliate/?id=152...Watch “The Prayer List” On Amazon https://www.amazon.com/gp/video/detail/B09C8FW2CK/ref=atv_dp_share_cu_rVisit: www.okmoviestream.com/Our privacy policy & disclaimer apply to this video.

142: In this episode, I'm talking all about hormones and how we can support our dogs with glandulars. When dogs are spayed or neutered, their hormones drop off suddenly and that shift can affect everything from the adrenals and liver to bones, connective tissue, energy, and the immune system. I break down what glandulars are, why I use things like ovary, uterus, liver, and bone marrow, and how they bring in proteins, enzymes, and nutrients that help the body find balance again. I also share the key vitamins and cofactors that matter most for hormone health, plus why sourcing from clean, pasture-raised animals makes such a big difference. Topics Discussed: → What are glandular supplements for dogs? → How does spaying affect a dog's hormones? → Can glandular therapy help spayed female dogs? → Which nutrients support hormone balance in dogs? → Are probiotics and mushrooms good for canine wellness?

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?

So many women feel broken, exhausted, and out of alignment with their bodies—and their faith. In this powerful episode, I sit down with Dr. Austin Lake, Christian functional medicine practitioner and founder of Wholly Health, to explore the deeper root causes of hormone imbalance, infertility, adrenal dysfunction, and weight gain through a biblical lens. Dr. Lake shares how disrupted circadian rhythm, chronic stress, nutrient depletion, and over-medicalization are keeping women stuck—and how true healing begins by returning to God's design. What We Discuss in This Episode: Why hormone issues like infertility, PCOS, and fatigue are often misunderstood The dangerous over-reliance on birth control and hormone replacement How circadian rhythm, light exposure, and rest impact female hormones The spiritual consequences of idolizing productivity over healing The importance of restoring biblical identity in the healing journey Why women must return to foundational health—before reaching for hormones

In this episode, Jenn and I are diving deep into something we know a lot about: being Gen X and hitting that phase of life that people used to call a 'midlife crisis.' We're calling BS on that and reframing it as what it really is... a reboot. With our kids getting older, we finally have the space to ask what we want, not just what our families need. We get real about everything from navigating hormonal shifts and prioritizing sleep over everything else, to why I'm taking a whole pharmacy of supplements and have fully embraced my comfy, underwire-free wardrobe. It's about feeling our best, not turning back the clock, and being intentional about this next, powerful chapter. We also get into how this personal reboot is unlocking a professional relaunch. For years, many of us, especially women, made career choices based on our kids' schedules and being the primary caregiver. Now, those doors are wide open, and our motivation has shifted from chasing promotions to finding real fulfillment in coaching and mentoring others. We'll talk about why Gen X is consistently ranked the most stressed generation—stuck translating between Boomers and Millennials—and why it's time for us to reduce the stigma, start talking, and redefine what this stage of life looks like for all of us. Here are some interesting related articles: Reevaluation trend: Forbes (2025) reports Gen X engagement dropped from 35% to 31%, with active disengagement rising from 17% to 18% Forbes.

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.
