This week, we did something I've never talked about publicly before: a 72-hour water fast! But before you picture weight loss gimmicks or punishment, let's set the record straight: this was a functional health experiment rooted in curiosity, not restriction. Inspired by Fast Like a Girl by Dr. Mindy Pelz, I timed this fast with my Power Phase (Days 1–10 of my cycle) to align with rising estrogen and maximize the benefits. In this episode, I walk you through the “why” behind this advanced strategy—deep cellular cleanup, gut healing, immune support, and a major mental clarity reset. We'll unpack the science of what happens at different fasting milestones and why this isn't something I recommend as a starter strategy for clients. You'll also learn how women should approach fasting differently than men, especially in relation to their cycles and hormone resilience. I'll share how I prepped, what I experienced physically and emotionally, and what this fast revealed about my relationship with hunger, discipline, and intuition. Spoiler: this wasn't easy, but it was powerful. Whether or not a long fast is right for you, my goal is to encourage deeper body awareness and smarter strategies; not extremes. Tune in to hear what surprised me most, how this ties into hormone health, and why syncing with your cycle might be the missing piece. If you've ever felt confused about fasting, this episode will help you reframe it entirely. DM me your questions or share this episode with a friend who needs a fresh take on fasting.

Do you have heavy periods, feel bloated, have headaches, bad PMS, or struggle with infertility and/or fibroids? Have you ever considered that these symptoms—and many more—could be related to a hormone imbalance? Estrogen dominance is one of the most commonly misunderstood hormone issues. In this episode, we take a deep dive into what estrogen dominance actually means. We explore the critical role of your liver and gut in estrogen detoxification and how dysfunction in these systems can lead to symptoms like heavy periods, breast tenderness, anxiety, fatigue, and stubborn weight gain. You'll learn how your liver goes through a two-phase detox process to neutralize estrogen, and how the gut's microbiome—including the estrobolome—can either help or hinder that elimination process. We also unpack a lesser-known but powerful enzyme called beta-glucuronidase, which can cause estrogen that was supposed to be excreted to be reabsorbed back into the body—essentially recycling hormones and contributing to estrogen dominance. This often happens when gut health is compromised due to dysbiosis, constipation, or poor diet. Whether you're in your reproductive years, navigating perimenopause, this episode will help you better understand the physiology behind estrogen dominance and how to begin addressing it at the root. We Heart Nutrition offers high-quality supplements designed specifically for women's health. Here are three standout features: Bioavailable Ingredients: Their supplements use the most absorbable forms of each nutrient, ensuring your body gets what it needs.

What if improving your gut health didn't require expensive supplements, fancy tests, or endless trial and error? In today's episode, we dive into the often-overlooked lifestyle foundations that can significantly improve digestion, reduce bloating, and help you finally feel good after meals without needing a single lab result. We start with meal hygiene: how you eat is just as important as what you eat. Digestion begins in the brain, and simple changes like slowing down, turning off distractions, and chewing thoroughly can kickstart your gut's natural processes. You'll learn how stress and multitasking at meals divert blood flow away from the gut and how to set the stage for digestion by being present, cooking your own food, and even doing a quick breathing exercise. Next, we cover meal timing, and how aligning your eating habits with your body's natural rhythms can support the "housekeeping" system of your gut. You'll learn how a consistent eating schedule and small shifts like starting your day with warm lemon water can make a big impact. We also tackle what to eat specifically for constipation and diarrhea. From fiber types and fluid intake to soothing herbal teas and smart food swaps, you'll walk away with real strategies that work. Plus, we share our go-to cheat sheets for stool consistency and explain when it is time to use supplements or run labs. Even if supplements become part of your long-term plan (like they are for some of our clients), these lifestyle shifts are the groundwork for sustainable gut health. Listen in and take the first step toward better digestion naturally.

In this episode, Dr. Vonda Wright sits down with writer, activist, and feminist Jennifer Weiss-Wolf, a leading voice in the fight for menstrual equity. Dubbed the “architect of the U.S. policy campaign to squash the tampon tax,” Jennifer is the author of Periods Gone Public and serves as VP at the Brennan Center for Justice. Her groundbreaking work has been featured in The New York Times, TIME, Cosmopolitan, MSNBC, and more. Together, they dive into how a local donation drive sparked Jennifer's national policy work, the cultural stigma surrounding menstruation, and the rise of the menstrual equity movement since 2015. They also unpack the critical need for accurate menopause education, public policy reform, and the long-lasting impact of the Women's Health Initiative's flawed messaging on hormone therapy. This conversation challenges outdated taboos and explores how both menstruation and menopause can serve as powerful starting points for advocating for women's health across every life stage. ••• Connect with Jennifer Weiss-Wolf: Website: https://jenniferweisswolf.com/ Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/jenniferweisswolf/ ••• Make sure to follow Dr. Vonda Wright: Instagram: @drvondawright Youtube: https://www.youtube.com/@vondawright Tiktok: https://www.tiktok.com/@drvondawright LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/vonda-wright-md-ms-2803374 Website: http://www.DrVondaWright.com ••• If you enjoyed this episode, Subscribe to “HOT For Your Health” for more inspiring episodes.

Is the "just be consistent" advice getting old? By now, you've heard this advice at least a million times—from entrepreneurs, athletes, experts, coaches, and even humble newsletter writers. And they're all absolutely right. Consistency is the difference maker. The one common thread behind every major success story. But here's the problem: No one ever tells you how to be consistent—and let's be honest, it's easier said than done. Life gets chaotic. Motivation fades. Discipline wavers. Consistency breaks. Fortunately, I've spent hundreds of hours thinking about this exact problem—and I've distilled that thinking into a short list of practical strategies to help anyone become more consistent. In this episode, we are going to cover 7 practical strategies for staying consistent that aren't just a pass/fail perspective and actually make sense for pursuing the goals we want in our lives.

Did you know what you place on your skin, ends up in your bloodstream? This is something I'm constantly reminding my girls when they attempt to draw on their skin. The movement of low-tox and body skin care products is starting to gain momentum as people are finding out about the harmful ingredients that make up their fav products. You're most likely aware of this for skin & body care products, but something that is often ignored is the fact that what you wear closest to your skin, can also impact your health, particularly your hormones. Did the penny just drop? Are you thinking about all the items that make up your wardrobe? Over the past couple of years, I've been much more conscious about the choices I make when purchasing clothes- opting for less, higher quality items, or those I will get the most wear from. But there'e something more important I'm looking at- the material it's made form. Today, I discuss an overlooked but incredibly important topic: the materials we surround ourselves with daily—our clothing, bedding, and even towels—and how they can impact hormone health. Plus, I share healthier, low-tox alternatives and practises that support your hormone health, fertility and so much more. ...

The social aspect of cutting back or eliminating alcohol can be really stressful and I've been there too… The inevitable questions you might face if you don't order alcohol in a friend group or turn down a drink your friend really wants you to try… we've been there. In today's episode, we're going to share 6 strategies that we actually got from Julie Helms, a communication and skills expert. These are awesome strategies for someone like me, an enneagram 9, who doesn't like to be direct and confrontational if I don't have to be. Your choices are your own, and you don't owe anyone an explanation. And while setting strong verbal boundaries (like “I'm not drinking tonight”) *IS* an option, these non verbal strategies might help you navigate situations with more comfort and grace, while inviting less follow-up questions. From ordering a mocktail with confidence to "I'll start with water, thank you" and never ordering a drink to a drink getting mysteriously "lost", these ways have saved us in those times we were cutting back but didn't want to explain ourselves.

Send us a textIn this episode, I sit down with Steven Villagomez, a clinically trained exercise physiologist and one of the most grounded, data-driven health professionals I know. We unpack the real foundations of health—sleep, nervous system regulation, and metabolic recovery—and why none of your efforts in diet, fitness, or supplementation will work without getting these right first. Steven breaks down how simple tools like mouth taping, air quality, and HRV-based coaching can shift everything from glucose regulation to mental clarity.We also dive deep into the current conversation around testosterone, the FDA's quiet reversal on long-standing TRT fears, and how most men are overlooking the root cause: lifestyle stress. Steven explains how regulating SHBG, improving recovery scores, and leveraging hormetic stressors like cold exposure and breathwork can dramatically increase natural testosterone levels—no prescriptions needed. This is a masterclass on what real health optimization looks like when you combine evidence-based practice with lived experience.Most importantly, we explore the mission behind the Make America Healthy Again movement and why it's time to reclaim our agency from a system driven by pharmaceutical profits. Steven and I talk about the urgent need for preventive care, functional diagnostics, and coaching that connects the dots—because health doesn't come from symptom management; it comes from understanding your body, asking better questions, and showing up with intention.

Are you intrigued by this week's title? That title is called a hook. A hook is something that gets your attention because it opens a loop in your brain, and gets you to keep reading/watching/listening until that loop is closed. Why do certain reels on Instagram get you to pause and watch them through? Because there is text or video or something that hooks you in by opening that loop in your brain. This little-known psychological phenomenon is called the Zeigarnik effect, coined by Dr. Bluma Zeigarnik. This is why every episode of a good show ends in a cliffhanger. (It's why I'm really angry with the author of the Fourth Wing series… leaving every book with a cliffhanger.) It's also the same reason why many high-performing women find themselves overwhelmed quickly when making changes in their health and fitness. These women are giving their all in every area, but just like your computer only has so much RAM and you can only have so many tabs open before it slows down, you can only do so many things before your executive function (the “management system” of your brain) gets taxed. Add in stress, poor sleep, anxiety (all common symptoms of hormone imbalances) and your executive function is even more limited. The Zeigarnik effect states ''Our minds quickly forget finished tasks. However, they are programmed to continually interrupt us with reminders of unfinished tasks.” In other words, the Zeigarnik effect causes you to have lingering thoughts about the to-do's you haven't done, the deliverables you have yet to finish because your brain is looking for closure. We can hack this effect (the same way I've hacked netflix by pausing episodes in the lull instead of finishing the episode) by reducing cognitive overload. So how do we do that when we have a million priorities? In this episode, I'm going to share with you 4 key ways and strategies to mitigate the Zeigarnik effect that is causing you a lot of overwhelm and stress when it comes to your health and fitness goals.
