Podcasts about hormone health

How do you help someone whose chronic bloating, abdominal distension, digestive issues, hormone imbalance, and fatigue keep returning, even after working with multiple practitioners? In this episode of the Health Detective Podcast, Michele Scarlet sits down with FDN Practitioner Becca Chilczenkowski, co-owner of FitMom Functional Health, to break down one of her most complex Functional Diagnostic Nutrition case studies. Together, they explore how a woman struggling with severe bloating, recurring H. pylori, parasites, reflux, constipation, dermatitis, fibroids, weight gain, exhaustion, and hormone challenges finally experienced lasting Health Transformation through a layered, whole-body approach. Rather than chasing symptoms or relying on aggressive protocols, Becca explains why supporting Functional Health begins with restoring digestive capacity, improving stomach acid, bile flow, nutrient absorption, and immune resilience before introducing targeted Healing Protocols. She shares how Functional Lab Testing, blood work, and GI-MAP testing helped uncover hidden stressors driving chronic inflammation and why rebuilding the body's foundations produced long-term results. The conversation also explores Gut Health, Hormone Health, Functional Medicine, Root Cause Healing, digestive enzymes, HCl, ox bile, immune support, fasting strategies, metabolic flexibility, and the importance of nervous system regulation. Michele and Becca discuss why many women dealing with Chronic Illness, Burnout, bloating, and hormone issues often need less stress, not more exercise, and why personalized care consistently outperforms one-size-fits-all protocols. They also discuss collaborating with medical teams for hormone therapy and peptides while staying within the FDN scope of practice, highlighting how Health Coaching, Practitioner Education, and teamwork create better client outcomes. Whether you're a Functional Health Practitioner, Health Coach, FDN Practitioner, or someone searching for answers to chronic digestive and hormone challenges, this episode delivers practical insights into Root Cause Medicine, Functional Nutrition, and sustainable healing that lasts REGISTER NOW FOR THE BUSINESS BUILDER CHALLENGE⤵️ http://fdntraining.com/bbc

Shop my all-natural skincare products at Arvoti.com.The version of milk most people grew up with is not the version nature made, and the difference matters more than people think.I've been drinking raw milk for five or six years, starting with a weekly drop-off from a farm four hours away, then driving 90 minutes each week to get it, then raising my own Jersey cow, and now milking my own dairy goats and sheep.Most people only know the gallon jug version of milk. Standardized. Pasteurized. Homogenized. Fortified.They've never watched cream rise on its own. They've never tasted milk from an animal foraging on pasture. They've never questioned why the cream gets stripped out and sold back to them as ice cream, while the milk gets refortified with synthetic vitamins.In this episode, I go over what raw milk contains, what processing does to it, and how I grew up drinking skim milk during a generation now dealing with skyrocketing hormone issues.If anyone has ever pushed back on you about raw milk, this is the episode that helps you stand your ground.You'll Learn:[0:00] Introduction[4:03] Why generations valued raw milk and what the headlines never tell you[8:36] How skim milk, fortification, and the ice cream industry profit off the same gallon twice[11:31] All 22 essential minerals, complete amino acids, and why one food can do it all[13:56] What pasteurization destroys and why filthy dairies were the real problem[15:59] Homogenization, fat globules, and why convenience changed milk forever[17:30] Why fat-free milk strips the very delivery system your hormones depend on[20:48] Soil, happy animals, and the connection that makes milk worth drinkingRelated Gubba Homestead Episodes:5 Things Women Aren't Told About Healthcare Products & ScreeningsResources Mentioned:Root Revival Hair Serum | ShopFind more from Gubba:Gubba Homestead | X | Facebook | Instagram | Pinterest | WebsiteGubba Homestead Products | Shop

Still tired in midlife… even when you're trying to eat healthy? In this episode of the Hello Hormones series on Fit & Fueled by Faith, I'm sharing what I personally eat in midlife to support energy, hormones, strength, and overall wellness. Because what worked in our 20s and 30s often stops working in midlife and many women are left feeling exhausted, frustrated, and confused about what their body actually needs now. In this episode, we talk about: • Why nutrition changes in midlife • The importance of protein for women over 40 • Balancing blood sugar and energy • My pescatarian, Mediterranean-inspired approach • Simple ways to nourish your body without restriction This isn't about perfection. It's about learning to support your body with wisdom and grace.

What if the reason tracking macros isn't working anymore has nothing to do with your discipline? In this episode, I break down one of the most common frustrations I hear from women: "I used to track macros, lose weight, and see results. Now I do the exact same thing and nothing happens.".  I want to share the story of how I once believed macros were the magic solution to fat loss, only to realize they were never the answer. They were simply a tool. We'll talk about why there is no perfect macro split, how the body constantly adapts to what we do, and why staying on the same nutrition plan for months or years can actually become part of the problem. I explain how functional nutrition often involves strategically changing calories, carbohydrates, fats, and protein to stay ahead of those adaptations rather than fighting against them. You'll learn why there may be a time for low-carb eating, a time for higher calories, a time for lower protein, and a time for a more balanced approach. Most importantly, we'll discuss how understanding macros can still be incredibly valuable when they're used within the right context. Today, I personally track my macros, not to lose weight, but to make sure I'm eating enough and maintaining the right balance for my current season of life.  If you've been wondering why your old nutrition strategy isn't producing the same results anymore, this episode will help you understand what changed and how to start working with your body instead of against it.   Time Stamps:   (1:47) Life Updates (3:06) My Macro Tracking Journey (4:47) Why Macro Tracking Gets A Bad Rap (8:22) Recent Client Example (12:32) Where To Start --------------------- 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?

What happens when the womb is treated as separate from the rest of women's health? In this episode of hol+, Dr. Taz sits down with Dr. Kemi Doll, double board-certified gynecologic oncologist, equity scientist, researcher, coach, and author of A Terrible Strength: The Hidden Crisis of the Black Womb and Your Survival Guide to Healing, for a powerful conversation about womb health, uterine cancer, fibroids, HRT, health equity, and why so many women are still being taught to normalize symptoms that deserve care.Together, they explore why womb health is not only about pregnancy, fertility, or menopause, but a lifelong part of women's physical, emotional, hormonal, and whole-body health. Dr. Doll shares how her grandmother's death in childbirth, her mother's near-death experience, and her own work as a gynecologic cancer surgeon shaped her mission to bring the uterus back into the center of women's health.Dr. Taz and Dr. Doll also discuss why uterine cancer is rising, why Black women are twice as likely to die after a uterine cancer diagnosis, and how gaps in research, screening, and diagnostic tools may leave women of color especially vulnerable. They unpack the role of ultrasound, endometrial thickness, post-menopausal bleeding, and why women need clearer conversations with their providers when something feels off.This conversation also takes a closer look at the explosion of hormone replacement therapy, or HRT, and the questions every woman with a uterus should be asking. Dr. Doll explains why estrogen without proper progesterone protection can increase uterine cancer risk, why some women may not understand the role progesterone plays, and why monitoring the uterus matters when using hormones.If you're listening to this and thinking, “I know something is off in my body, but I don't know where to start,” join the Circle here:

Everyone wants to know how "bounce back" after having a baby. The truth is, that's not the goal. In this episode, I'm sharing my postpartum fitness plan and the approach I'll be taking during those first weeks and months after birth. Instead of jumping straight into workouts, fat loss, or trying to get my body back as quickly as possible, I'll be prioritizing recovery, sleep, healing, and listening to what my body actually needs. I'll walk you through what my first few weeks postpartum may look like, including why I plan to spend most of the first week resting, when I might begin incorporating light walks and mobility work, and how I'll use my body's feedback, not a rigid timeline, to guide the process. We'll also talk about why pelvic floor health is at the center of my recovery plan and why I believe every woman should consider working with a pelvic floor physical therapist before problems arise, not just after. I'll share why I won't be rushing back into intense cardio, despite the pressure many women feel to lose baby weight as quickly as possible. We'll also discuss the truth about waist trainers, why external support can actually delay core recovery, and what a healthier approach to rebuilding strength looks like. Most importantly, I'm talking about something I think every new mom struggles with: comparison. Because no two postpartum journeys are the same, and comparing your recovery, body, or timeline to someone else's is one of the fastest ways to create unnecessary stress and frustration. If you're pregnant, postpartum, or simply curious about a more sustainable approach to recovery after birth, this episode will give you an honest look at how I'm thinking about this next chapter and why slower may actually be the smarter path forward.   Time Stamps:   (2:11) My Postpartum Fitness Plan (3:22) The Mental Side (9:19) Getting Your Body “Back” (11:20) Comparison In Postpartum (13:32) Sharing The Postpartum Journey --------------------- 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?

Summary Ali Damron discusses the five pillars of hormone health, emphasizing a nuanced, personalized approach to women's health that integrates neuroplasticity, stress management, nutrition, and functional medicine testing. Key Topics The five pillars of hormone health: neuroplasticity, stress, nutrition, testing, and mindset The role of the nervous system in hormonal and overall health Limitations and benefits of functional medicine testing like Dutch test and GI map The importance of a personalized, nuanced approach over one-size-fits-all protocols The impact of stress, mindset, and perception on physical health and symptoms Takeaways Chronic symptoms often stem from neuroplastic and nervous system dysregulation, not just biochemical imbalances. Functional medicine testing can be valuable but should be used judiciously to avoid overwhelm and over-treatment. A neuroplastic approach can help treat chronic pain, anxiety, and hormonal issues by addressing the brain-body connection. Stress and perception of danger are central to hormonal imbalance; managing these can improve health outcomes. Healthcare should be personalized, with a focus on trust, validation, and understanding patient lifestyle and history. Sound Bites "The mind and body are not different."

Have you felt more emotional lately… crying more easily, getting irritated faster, or reacting in ways that don't feel like you? You're not overreacting. And you're not losing control. In this episode of the Hello Hormones series on Fit & Fueled by Faith, we're talking about why emotions can feel more intense in midlife and what your body is actually going through. Because this isn't just “your mood.” It's hormonal, physical, and deeply connected to your nervous system. In this episode, we cover: • Why estrogen and progesterone affect emotional regulation • How cortisol and stress amplify reactions • Why your nervous system feels more sensitive • How emotional load in midlife adds to overwhelm • Faith-based ways to ground yourself in this season You're not too emotional. Your body is asking for support. Fit & Fueled by Faith — where the female body meets faith.Download the Free 7 Holy Habits Guide: https:// bit.ly/7holyhabits

What if the amount of exercise you actually need for long-term health is far less than you've been led to believe? In this episode, I'm breaking down some fascinating claims from longevity expert Dr. Amy Killen that completely challenge the "more is better" approach many women have been taught when it comes to fitness. One statistic in particular caught my attention: her claim that women may achieve most of the longevity benefits of resistance training with surprisingly little weekly volume. We'll dive into what the research actually says about strength training, longevity, and mortality risk, including why multiple studies seem to show that the biggest health benefits occur at relatively modest amounts of resistance training. I'll also share why, in my own experience and in working with clients, two to three strength-training sessions per week seems to be the sweet spot for recovery, consistency, and long-term results. We'll talk about the trap of comparing yourself to genetic outliers, influencers, and fitness competitors whose training volumes often aren't realistic or necessary for the average woman. I'll also unpack the recommendation of 150 minutes of moderate aerobic exercise per week, why walking may be one of the most powerful longevity tools available, and my thoughts on where high-intensity exercise fits into the picture. Most importantly, I want to make the case that prioritizing health often leads to better physique outcomes over the long term than constantly chasing more workouts, more volume, and more intensity. We'll also discuss the real risks of overtraining, including hormone disruption, cycle irregularities, bone loss, and the cumulative stress excessive exercise can place on the body. If you've ever felt like you're falling behind because you're not doing enough, this episode might be the permission slip you need. Sometimes the path to better health, better recovery, and a better body isn't doing more. It's doing the right things consistently for years.   Time Stamps:   (3:02) Being Prepared For Baby Girl   (4:26) Women's Needs For Exercise   (8:22) Going Against The Stereotypical Advice   (12:37) Prioritizing Health Goals   (17:42) House Analogy   (20:07) HIIT Training --------------------- 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?

Most women who struggle with binge eating never talk about it. I'm changing that today. In this episode, I get personal about my own journey with binge eating, tracing it back to my early twenties and walking through the slow, nonlinear process of working through it over the past decade. This is not a quick fix episode. There is no finish line moment, no single breakthrough that made it all click. What there is, is an honest look at what actually moved the needle over time. I break down the three things that made the biggest difference in my healing: releasing the good food and bad food rules that were quietly running the show, going through a functional reverse diet to address what was happening on a physiological level, and reframing the stories I was telling myself after a binge episode. I also dig into something that does not get talked about enough, which is how your body's overall toxic load and sensitivity to certain foods can actually reinforce disordered eating patterns without you even realizing it. If you have ever felt completely out of control around food, finished a vacation feeling more guilt than joy, or wondered if you will ever stop the restrict and binge cycle, this episode is for you. You are not broken, and you are not alone.   Time Stamps:   (2:52) Visiting Mama Pozos At Hilton Head  (7:27) Defining Binge Eating  (12:22) Biggest Difference Makers With Controlling Binging  (14:14) Letting Go Of Food Rules  (16:50) Functional Reverse Dieting --------------------- 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 Confidently Balance Your Hormones, Dee Davidson sits down with Melissa to discuss her remarkable transformation after years of frustration with stubborn weight gain, low energy, and doing everything she thought was "right."Like many women, Melissa believed that exercising more, eating less, and tightening up her diet would lead to weight loss. Instead, the opposite happened. The harder she pushed, the more weight she gained, her energy declined, and she found herself feeling discouraged and disconnected from her body.Everything changed when she stopped guessing and started testing.Through functional health testing and a root-cause approach, Melissa uncovered hidden stressors affecting her metabolism, inflammation levels, gut health, and overall wellness. By addressing the underlying issues instead of chasing symptoms, she was able to release 50 pounds, regain her energy, rebuild lean muscle, and finally feel confident in her body again.In this episode, you'll learn:✔ Why generic weight loss advice often fails women in midlife✔ The hidden stressors that can keep the body holding onto weight✔ How inflammation, gut health, hormones, and stress impact metabolism✔ Why exercising harder isn't always the answer✔ The importance of testing instead of guessing✔ How Melissa transformed her health and body composition naturallyIf you've ever felt like you're doing everything right and still not seeing results, this episode will provide hope, validation, and a fresh perspective on what may really be holding you back.Connect with Melissahttp://melissamedeiros.arbonne.com/Interested in Uncovering Your Hidden Stressors?Schedule a discovery session with Dee Davidson to learn more about functional testing, including GI Stool Testing, hormone evaluation, and root-cause approaches to stubborn weight gain, inflammation, fatigue, and digestive issues.Schedule Here:https://calendly.com/confidentlyloveyourself/15-minute-discoveryMedical DisclaimerThe information shared in this podcast is for educational and informational purposes only and is not intended as medical advice.

The Complete Guide to Energy, Muscle, Fat Loss, Recovery & Hormone Health for Men Over 40How can men over 40 naturally increase testosterone?Men over 40 can naturally increase testosterone by improving sleep quality, reducing stress and cortisol, building muscle through metabolic resistance training, eating a testosterone-supportive diet, losing belly fat, reducing exposure to estrogenic toxins, and optimizing key nutrients like magnesium, zinc, and vitamin D3. Lifestyle changes can significantly improve testosterone levels without TRT for many men.

If your bloodwork keeps coming back "normal," but youstill feel exhausted, anxious, and hormonally off — this episode is for you.Dana Irvine, FDNP CCT, breaks down Hair Tissue Mineral Analysis (HTMA): what it is, what it reveals, and why it catches what standard blood tests routinely miss.

What if one of the most widely diagnosed hormonal conditions in women—PCOS—has been understood too narrowly for too long? In this episode of Paloma's podcast, we explore the emerging concept of polyendocrine metabolic ovarian syndrome (PMOS), the name for polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS) thatt expands it into a broader, whole-body metabolic and endocrine condition. The goal: better capture the full scope of symptoms and risks that often extend well beyond the ovaries.We break down how PMOS relates to PCOS, and why some researchers and clinicians are calling for a shift in language and diagnostic thinking. While PCOS has traditionally been defined by irregular cycles, androgen excess, and ovarian cysts, this newer framework highlights the interconnected roles of insulin resistance, inflammation, metabolic dysfunction, and long-term cardiometabolic health. It's a reframe that could change how earlier signs are recognized and how treatment plans are built.Finally, we look at what this evolving understanding means for patients living with PCOS today. From persistent symptoms that don't always fit the textbook definition to the frustration of fragmented care, many people are already experiencing the “metabolic” and “endocrine” dimensions that PMOS tries to name more explicitly. 

If you're listening to this episode, chances are you or someone you love is struggling with a hormonal, inflammatory, reproductive, or chronic pain condition like endometriosis or PCOS/PMOS… I know firsthand how exhausting and frustrating it can be to get proper care, and how much these conditions can impact your life, from pain and fertility struggles, to metabolism issues, bloating, and the impact on your physical and mental health. The good news? Women's health conversations are finally starting to change around conditions that have historically been dismissed, minimized, or misunderstood. In this episode, I'm joined by renowned gynecologist and gynecologic surgeon Dr. Karen Tang to unpack the truth about endometriosis and PCOS (now more accurately named PMOS — Polyendocrine Metabolic Ovarian Syndrome. This interview is packed with validating, practical, and empowering information that every woman deserves to hear. We dive deep into the symptoms, root causes, inflammation, hormones, fertility struggles, diagnosis delays, treatment options, and evidence-based lifestyle interventions that can actually help women living with these issues. Dr. Tang explains why endometriosis is far more than “bad period pain,” how it can affect the entire body, and why it often takes women an average of 7–11 years to receive a diagnosis. We also cover PCOS/PMOS as a metabolic and hormonal disorder (not just a fertility condition) including insulin resistance, blood sugar dysregulation, and long-term health risks. Dr. Tang is a leader in reproductive health, has taught medical students and residents at institutions like Harvard and University of Pennsylvania, and she reaches millions of viewers on her social media channels where she explains gynaecology, pelvic pain, and reproductive rights. She's the author of It's Not Hysteria, Everything You Need To Know About Your Reproductive Health (But Were Never Told). Tune in to learn about: The signs and symptoms of endometriosis and PCOS/PMOS Why women's pain is so often normalized or dismissed in healthcare The stages and severity of endometriosis Common triggers for endometriosis flare-ups Anti-inflammatory diets, supplements, and lifestyle changes that may help Fertility considerations for women with endometriosis and/or PCOS Why doctors prescribe birth control as a treatment Non-hormonal treatment options that can help address the root cause How to advocate for yourself when doctors dismiss your symptoms Follow Dr. Tang: https://thrivegyn.com/  https://www.instagram.com/karentangmd/?hl=en  Subscribe to my Substack:teachmehowtoadult.substack.comFollow us on the ‘gram:@teachmehowtoadultmedia@gillian.bernerFollow on TikTok: @teachmehowtoadultSubscribe on YouTube

What if burning more calories had less to do with punishing workouts and more to do with how you live your everyday life?  In this episode, we're breaking down 10 low-effort ways to support your metabolism without adding hours of cardio or exhausting yourself in the gym. Because the truth is, your metabolism is running 24/7 and small habits repeated consistently can have a much bigger impact than most people realize. We start with five hobbies that naturally increase calorie burn and improve metabolic health, including hiking, swimming, cycling, dancing, and even hobbies like knitting that help regulate stress and reduce mindless snacking. You'll learn why activities that support cortisol regulation, muscle activation, and nervous system balance can quietly improve fat loss and energy levels behind the scenes. Then we shift into five simple lifestyle strategies that can significantly change the way your body uses energy throughout the day. From walking after meals and increasing NEAT (non-exercise activity thermogenesis) to prioritizing sleep, hydration, and even small micro-movements, this episode explains how metabolism is influenced by far more than workouts alone. We also break down the science in a way that actually makes sense covering blood sugar regulation, insulin, cortisol, thermogenesis, and why sleep may be one of the most underrated fat-loss tools available. Most importantly, this conversation reframes the idea that improving your metabolism has to mean doing more. Sometimes it's about working with your body instead of constantly fighting it. If you've been feeling overwhelmed by all-or-nothing fitness advice, this episode will help you see that sustainable progress often comes from the simplest shifts. Your metabolism doesn't just respond to exercise. It responds to your environment, your habits, your stress levels, and the way you move through everyday life.   Time Stamps:   (3:17) #1: Hiking (5:09) #2: Knitting (6:53) #3: Swimming (9:06) #4: Cycling (10:46) #5: Dancing (13:20) #6: Walking After Meals (13:52) #7: Standing More (14:47) #8: Drinking Cold Water (15:32) #9: Fidgeting (17:07) #10: Prioritizing Quality Sleep (19:02) Functional Fat Loss Solutions Masterclass --------------------- 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?

The good news is that small daily changes can dramatically improve your microbiome and help your body function the way it was designed to.I explain the biggest gut health mistakes people make, the hidden factors damaging the microbiome, and the simple strategies that can help support digestion, nutrient absorption, detoxification, and immune function.If you've been struggling with digestive issues, low energy, inflammation, or stubborn health symptoms, this episode will help you understand where to start.Supplements Featured In This Episode:• Accelerated Liver Care® https://www.acceleratedhealthproducts.com/products/accelerated-liver-care • Accelerated Cellular Detox® Powder https://www.acceleratedhealthproducts.com/products/accelerated-cellular-detox-powder • Microbiome Labs MegaSporeBiotic™ Probiotic https://www.acceleratedhealthproducts.com/products/megasporebiotic   • Microbiome Labs MegaPre Precision Prebiotic https://www.acceleratedhealthproducts.com/products/megapre  • Microbiome Labs Mega Mucosa™ https://www.acceleratedhealthproducts.com/products/megamucosa  • Silver Fern Brand Motility https://www.acceleratedhealthproducts.com/products/silver-fern-motility • Accelerated Leaky Gut Bundle https://www.acceleratedhealthproducts.com/products/accelerated-leaky-gut-bundle  • Healthy Gut Tributyrin-X https://www.acceleratedhealthproducts.com/products/tributyrin-x Not sure what food to eat and avoid?

In this deeply personal episode, I'm sharing the full arc of my health journey, from my days as a Division I equestrian athlete at UGA to the years of frustration, confusion, and rock bottom moments that ultimately led me to functional health.  I open up about how the pressure to maintain a certain body composition as a college athlete first pushed me toward disordered eating habits, setting the stage for years of weight loss resistance. After graduating and moving to Atlanta, I threw myself into CrossFit, convinced that more intensity was the answer, only to find myself getting puffier, more inflamed, and increasingly exhausted.  Despite working out harder than ever, I wasn't seeing results, and my body was sending signals I didn't yet know how to read. Chronic digestive issues, debilitating fatigue, brain fog, and social anxiety began compounding on top of each other, leaving me feeling like I might be making it all up.  A series of dismissive doctor's appointments left me feeling invalidated and completely stuck, including one where I was simply told to eat less and exercise more. Coming off birth control without proper hormonal support triggered a new wave of symptoms, including severe acne and irregular cycles, adding yet another layer to an already overwhelming season.  I describe the emotional toll of watching life move forward, friends getting married and starting families, while I felt too depleted and self-conscious to fully show up. It wasn't until I discovered functional health and began running comprehensive labs that I finally got the validation I had been desperate for.  Something was genuinely wrong, and it wasn't in my head.  I then invested deeply, financially and personally, in learning everything I could about the connection between hormones, gut health, metabolism, and the immune system. That journey ultimately led to a 40-pound transformation, not through restriction and overtraining, but by working out less, eating more, and addressing the true root causes.  Those hard-won lessons became the foundation for the one-stop functional health program I built for my clients. Now pregnant with my daughter, I reflect on how healing my own body is something I'll be able to pass on in ways I never imagined.  If any part of my story sounds familiar, I want you to know: you are not alone, and there is a path to the other side.   Time Stamps:   (5:32) Going Through Weight Loss Resistance (5:54) Georgia Bulldog (9:02) Taking Health More Seriously (14:22) The Crossfit Girl (22:04) Having The IUD Taken Out (28:52) Being Sick All The Time (29:34) Investing In Health Coaching (31:32) The Functional Health Space (35:50) Our Team Now (40:16) Reach Out To Us --------------------- 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?

Sound familiar? In this episode, Sal, Adam, and Justin cover FOUR simple steps that actually produce real, lasting fat loss results for women over 30. Not theory. Not what some twelve-week study says. What decades of real world coaching experience has proven works again and again. Why simplicity beats a perfect 15 step diet plan every single time How cutting processed foods caused every single one of Sal's clients to lose weight Controlled studies show people eat 600 to 700 more calories per day when eating processed foods Up to 40% of weight lost on a typical diet is muscle, not fat, and why that tanks your metabolism Why two women can both weigh 160 pounds at five foot six and look completely different based on body composition Why meal prepping one or two days a week is the convenience solution that makes whole food eating actually sustainable The 30 grams of protein per meal target that preserves muscle, keeps you full, and drives enhanced fat loss Why going too low on dietary fat destroys estrogen, progesterone, and testosterone Why carbohydrates should not drop to zero Why rigid meal plans fail within a few months How adding small improvements to what someone already eats works better than a new meal plan Timestamps:0:00 Intro 2:01 Nutrition for Weight Loss After 30 4:09 Consideration 1: Simplicity and Why It Wins 7:19 Consideration 2: Convenience 9:58 Consideration 3: Pro Muscle 14:49 Consideration 4: Hormone Health 15:43 Step 1: Stop Eating Processed Foods 20:25 Step 2: Meal Prepping 23:51 Step 3: Prioritize Protein 25:53 Step 4: Protect Your Hormones 27:42 Custom Coaching  

The best athletes in the world aren't consistent because their lives are calm. They're consistent because they've learned how to get back on track, fast.  In this episode, we're breaking down the one trait that actually separates the ultra consistent from everyone else, and it has nothing to do with willpower or discipline. We're diving into the real reason you keep falling off your health routines, and why it might not be a character flaw at all.  If you've ever missed a workout, overeaten on the weekend, or abandoned a protocol early and then spiraled into shame, this episode is for you. We unpack the surprising research behind the famous marshmallow test and what it actually reveals about trust, environment, and follow-through.  You'll learn why your metabolism, hormones, and stress response may be working against your best intentions and what to do about it. We talk about what a real "way back" looks like when life gets busy, chaotic, or emotionally draining. Forget waiting until Monday; we're giving you practical resets you can use at your very next meal, workout, or hard moment.  We also tackle the fine line between releasing shame and staying accountable, because both matter. You'll walk away with a handful of powerful questions to ask yourself when things fall apart, so you can turn setbacks into information instead of evidence against yourself.  This episode will challenge the way you define consistency and replace perfection with something far more sustainable. If you're ready to stop starting over and start returning, this one's for you.   Time Stamps:   (3:29) Hustling Mom's and Busy Seasons    (4:47) Recent FLUSH Protocol    (5:47) Justin's Perspective on Consistency    (19:42) When You're Struggling With Execution --------------------- 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?

Dr. Natalie Crawford, MD, is a double board-certified OB-GYN and reproductive endocrinologist. We discuss how to improve hormone health at any age and the importance of fertility markers not just for pregnancy, but as a powerful window into overall health, vitality and longevity. We discuss hormone replacement therapy, egg freezing, IVF, and what biomarkers like AMH really indicate. Plus, how anti-inflammatory diets and specific supplements can be beneficial and the impact of microplastics and certain fragrances on hormones. We also discuss lesser-known factors that deplete male and female fertility, vitality and health. This conversation highlights how better understanding of hormones and your reproductive markers can empower better informed choices at every stage of life. Read the show notes at hubermanlab.com.
