Welcome to the eighth and final episode of the Coach's Corner Series! Today, I sit down with Coach Rae to talk about something we don't see many functional health companies address: relationship with food. We dig into why diet culture and social media have made it so hard for women to feel at peace with food, from the Britney Spears waist era to today's constant stream of body trends. Coach Rae shares the signs she looks for when a client's relationship with food might need extra attention, from fear of carbs to being afraid to keep certain foods in the house. We talk about why functional health can't just be labs, meal plans, and supplements, and why the mindset work around food fear matters just as much as the physical protocols. Rae walks us through how she approaches clients with real GI symptoms who are afraid to eat, including how elimination diets can help separate true food sensitivities from fear driven reactions. She also opens up about her own twenty plus year journey with food and control, and why curiosity with yourself is often the starting point for change. We then talk through the personality patterns she sees most often, the anxious perfectionists who feel safest when they're in control of their food, and why that sense of control can actually make your nervous system more fragile over time. Rae reminds listeners that struggling with food isn't about a lack of discipline, and that healing is possible no matter how long you've felt stuck. This is a real, honest conversation about what it actually looks like to build freedom and peace with food.

Welcome to the seventh episode of the Coach's Corner Series! Today I'm joined by Coach Lindsay, and we're getting real about what's actually not working in the functional health space, even when practitioners mean well.  We break down five major red flags to watch for, starting with practitioners who don't address nutrition beyond a generic food list. We talk about why using supplements as a bandaid, without digging into the root cause, just becomes another quick fix that doesn't actually heal anything.  Coach Lindsay shares her own health journey, including how infrequent check ins with her provider left her feeling stuck and unsure of her progress.  We also get into why rigid diet plans can backfire by teaching your body to adapt rather than building real metabolic flexibility. And we can't talk about functional health without talking about training, so we cover why using the right training stimulus matters just as much as nutrition and supplements when it comes to hitting your goals.  If you've ever felt like you're doing everything right but still not seeing results, this episode will help you understand why, and what a more complete approach to healing actually looks like. Lindsay brings so much heart and expertise to this conversation, and I know it's going to help so many of you see your own health journey differently.   Time Stamps:   (1:54) What's Not Working Within Functional Health (4:12) More Advanced Nutrition Concepts (8:09) Gut Health (9:02) Questions To Ask Your Practitioner (10:19) Supplements Are Band Aid Fix (15:37) Frequency of Communication (20:20) Flexibility With The Strategy (27:47) Training As A Stimulus ------- Learn more about the Vital Spark Coaching Functional Reset Method.  ------- Click Here to apply for 1-on-1 coaching with my team of Metabolism & Hormone Experts. ------- Follow @vanessagfitness on Instagram for daily fitness tips & motivation.  ------- Click Here for my Free Top 3 Labs training to get to the root of bloating & exhaustion. ------- Click Here to download a Free Hormone Healing Blueprint. ------- Check out our YouTube Channel for more free training. ------- Click Here to read our Client Google Reviews.  ------- Enjoyed the podcast?

Welcome to the sixth episode of the Coach's Corner Series! In this Coach's Corner episode, I sit down with Coach Krista to talk about something so many moms carry silently: guilt. We dig into why women, especially moms, feel guilty spending time, money, and energy on their own health, even when their families would benefit most from them doing so. Krista shares her belief that if you teach the mom, you reach the entire family, and why understanding your own body is what equips you to help your kids, spouse, and even aging parents. We talk about how kids learn far more from what they see us do than from what we tell them to do, and why modeling healthy habits now shapes how our children will care for themselves as adults.  Krista offers practical, tactical advice for having open conversations with your kids and your spouse about why you're prioritizing your health, so they can actually show up and support you instead of feeling confused or left out. We also get into how to talk to kids about supplements, measuring food, and tracking macros in a way that frames these as tools rather than sources of shame. Krista draws a helpful comparison to using a calculator or ruler until you build the intuition to not need them anymore.  Finally, we touch on the almond mom conversation and why context and intent matter more than the behavior itself when it comes to raising kids with a healthy relationship to food.  This episode is a reminder that taking care of yourself isn't selfish, it's one of the most powerful things you can model for the people who love you.   Time Stamps:   (1:14) For All The Mom's (4:00) Where Mom's Struggle The Most (10:50) Conversations with Family (16:50) Addressing Health Changes with Your Kids (23:45) The Slimfast Era ------- Learn more about the Vital Spark Coaching Functional Reset Method.  ------- Click Here to apply for 1-on-1 coaching with my team of Metabolism & Hormone Experts. ------- Follow @vanessagfitness on Instagram for daily fitness tips & motivation.  ------- Click Here for my Free Top 3 Labs training to get to the root of bloating & exhaustion. ------- Click Here to download a Free Hormone Healing Blueprint. ------- Check out our YouTube Channel for more free training. ------- Click Here to read our Client Google Reviews.  ------- Enjoyed the podcast?

Welcome to the fifth episode of the Coach's Corner Series! In this Coach's Corner episode, I sit down with Coach Soraya to unpack one of the most misunderstood topics in wellness: detoxification.  Soraya shares her own journey from years of over-exercising and chronic restriction to discovering that her body needed support, not more discipline, a shift that accelerated after becoming a mom.  We break down what the lymphatic system actually does, why it doesn't have a built-in "pump" like the heart, and why simple daily habits like walking, deep breathing, and hydration matter more than expensive detox gadgets.  We dig into common misconceptions, from detox teas to the "if you have a liver, you don't need a detox" myth, and talk about why foundational habits like sleep, nutrition, and stress management have to come first.  Soraya introduces her "bucket" analogy for toxin load and the "clogged sink" visual for why adding more without addressing the drain doesn't work.  We also walk through what a flush protocol actually involves, why clients often feel worse before they feel better, and how she coaches clients through that discomfort without white-knuckling the process.  Finally, we cover simple, low-cost ways to support the lymphatic system daily, from dry brushing in the shower to gua sha and restorative movement. It's a candid, practical conversation about trusting your body instead of trying to out-supplement it.   Time Stamps:   (1:45) All Things Detoxification (6:00) What Detoxification Really Is (10:02) Adding More vs The Drain (14:05) Where To Start (17:20) The FLUSH Protocol (25:30) Supporting Detoxification On A Daily Basis (28:35) What Is Your Body Trying To Tell You? ------- Learn more about the Vital Spark Coaching Functional Reset Method.  ------- Click Here to apply for 1-on-1 coaching with my team of Metabolism & Hormone Experts. ------- Follow @vanessagfitness on Instagram for daily fitness tips & motivation.  ------- Click Here for my Free Top 3 Labs training to get to the root of bloating & exhaustion. ------- Click Here to download a Free Hormone Healing Blueprint. ------- Check out our YouTube Channel for more free training. ------- Click Here to read our Client Google Reviews.  ------- Enjoyed the podcast?

Welcome to the fourth episode of the Coach's Corner Series! Pregnancy and postpartum are often centered around the baby, but what about the mom? In this episode, I sit down with one of our functional health practitioners, Elizabeth, to talk about what actually happens to your metabolism, hormones, thyroid, and gut health after giving birth.  We unpack why so many women feel dismissed when they're told their symptoms are "just part of postpartum," and why those changes deserve attention rather than acceptance.  You'll learn how breastfeeding, recovery, and hormonal shifts can all influence metabolism, and why trying to "bounce back" too quickly can often work against your body instead of with it.  We also discuss the critical role thyroid health and gut function play during the postpartum season, and how protecting both can make a meaningful difference in your energy, recovery, and long-term health.  Elizabeth shares what an ideal progression through postpartum recovery can look like, from prioritizing rest to gradually rebuilding movement and strength without rushing the process.  We also explain why foundational habits like sunshine, gentle movement, hydration, and nervous system support often matter more than extreme diet or exercise plans in those early months.  Along the way, we walk through a real client lab review that highlights how antibiotics, birth control, and gut health can create a ripple effect on hormone balance after pregnancy. I f you've been waiting for the right time to prioritize your own health, this conversation is a reminder that supporting yourself is one of the best ways to support your family.  Your body isn't failing you.  It's adapting to one of the biggest physiological transitions it will ever experience. Whether you're currently postpartum, planning for pregnancy, or simply want to better understand how the female body recovers, this episode will help you approach the journey with more clarity, confidence, and compassion.   Time Stamps:   (2:47) Postpartum Care (6:32) Metabolism Reset in Postpartum?

Since 1983, I have seen horse dentistry shift from hand-floating, done without medication or machines, to a mechanical approach using sedation and motorized tools to remove sharp enamel edges. My main argument is that these newer procedures are not proven to achieve better outcomes, yet are often promoted based on arbitrary goals. As a result, horse owners may become confused or exposed to unnecessary techniques that may not benefit their horses. Listeners may react strongly to this podcast because horse dentistry divides opinion. My central point is simple: horses should receive dental care, regardless of the technique. Yet debates over various methods overshadow the real issue: many horses get no dental care at all. It's like missing the main purpose of a journey by arguing about driving style, while the real problem is not picking up the passenger. If horses in rural areas lack access to dental care—whether due to a lack of practitioners or restrictive laws—they continue to suffer. My focus is to explain why I use my methods and to emphasize that it is better for horses to receive reasonable dental care, by any method, than none at all. Timestamps: 0:00 - Introduction 0:32 - My equine dentistry training and personal beliefs. 2:15 - The history of equine dentistry is obscure and non-memorable. 5:44 - The horse's threshold of pain and their ability to express themselves without sedation. 8:02 - The purpose of medicating horses for dentistry. 11:12 - All areas of every tooth can be addressed with hand floats once the anatomy and position of the teeth within the horse's mouth are learned. 13:12 - The three lies often given to say why hand floating is less effective than power floating with sedation. 14:24 - Horsemanship reasons for not using drugs and power equipment to float horses. 16:25 - Practical reasons for not using drugs and power equipment to float horses. 17:44 - Scientific reasons for not using drugs and power equipment to float horses. 18:25 - Conclusions about floating horses and the method used. ******************************* #horses #veterinary #horseteeth #horsecare #equinedentistry Join us at The Horses Advocate Community page: https://community.thehorsesadvocate.com/yt Dentistry: https://theequinepractice.com/ Horsemanship Dentistry School: https://www.horsemanshipdentistryschool.com/c/information/ Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/TheHorsesAdvocate Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/horsesadvocate/ Geoff Tucker is a veterinarian and horseman who has worked with horses since 1973, earning his Doctor of Veterinary Medicine from Cornell University in 1984.

In this episode, Farah talks about how she defines Relational Horsemanship and how it transformed the way she trains and rehabilitates horses.

L'histoire d'Helena Stormanns est riche et s'inscrit dans la lignée d'une génération de cavaliers qui a tout appris de ce sport par le labeur, par l'observation, par l'expérimentation.Avant de monter à poney, elle a d'abord curé les boxs du centre équestre. Avant d'acheter son premier cheval de concours, elle a déjà monté les poneys des autres.Après plusieurs années au plus haut-niveau, pendant lesquelles elle s'est illustrée en Grand Prix, en Championnats du Monde même, Helena a pris un tournant et a choisi de mettre son temps et son expérience au service d'une jeune génération de cavaliers en quête de performance. Véritable dépositaire d'un savoir-faire équestre infini et dont on sait combien il est précieux, elle a accompagné ou accompagne encore des cavaliers comme Jessica Springsteen, Michael Duffy, ou encore Petronella Andersson et la talentueuse Nina Mallevaey. Ce qui nous a le plus marquées au cours de cette conversation, ce n'est pas seulement l'étendue de ses connaissances sur le cheval. C'est aussi son humilité, sa générosité et la manière incroyablement claire avec laquelle elle parle des chevaux, des cavaliers et de notre sport.Nous sommes ressorties de cette interview profondément inspirées, et nous espérons sincèrement que vous le serez également.--I am an Equestrian est le premier podcast pour les passionnés d'équitation et de sports équestres.On interviewe les plus grandes cavaliers, hommes et femmes de chevaux.

Pour devenir Champion, faut-il nécessairement avoir un parcours hors du commun ? Naître et grandir dans une écurie, monter dès son plus jeune âge les meilleurs chevaux et poneys, disposer d'un encadrement sportif et aspirer à faire du sport de haut niveau aux premiers jours ? Non, je ne crois pas. Et c'est aussi l'avis de nombreux de nos invités, dans le podcast. Mais pour donner l'envie aux jeunes cavaliers d'y croire, encore faut-il qu'ils puissent le voir. Pour ce dernier épisode de notre série Entre Cavaliers, enregistrée en partenariat avec la Fédération Française d'Équitation, nous avons eu envie de rencontrer ces témoins d'un destin possible, ces cavaliers qui ont suivi un schéma classique, qui ont découvert, comme des milliers d'enfants, l'équitation dans un centre équestre. Astier Nicolas est champion olympique par équipes et vice-champion olympique individuel. Il a fait ses armes dans un centre équestre, a découvert et pris goût au sport grâce à sa coach Marie-Laure et participé à ses premiers Championnats à Lamotte-Beuvron avec les poneys de son centre équestre. Après s'être formé dans un centre équestre, avoir découvert Lamotte Beuvron dans les petites épreuves poney, Alexis Goury a fait une rencont re, LA rencontre. Celle d'un cheval, Trompe L'oeil, acheté pour poursuivre son évolution sportive et participer aux épreuves amateur de concours complet et qui lui permettra d'accéder à ses premières épreuves internationales et à ses premiers Championnats d'Europe. Et enfin, nous avons sollicité Martin Denisot, Conseiller Technique National en charge du concours complet à la Fédération Française d'Équitation pour nous partager son expérience, fruit de nombreuses années à accompagner les jeunes cavaliers dans leur progression jusqu'aux équipes de France.Ensemble, nous avons retracé le chemin qui mène des premières reprises en centre équestre aux plus grandes échéances internationales.Nous avons parlé de détection, de formation, de rencontres déterminantes, de chevaux qui changent une carrière, des qualités qui font les champions… mais aussi de tous ces petits moments qui, mis bout à bout, finissent par construire un parcours hors du commun.I am an Equestrian est le premier podcast pour les passionnés d'équitation et de sports équestres.On interviewe les plus grandes cavaliers, hommes et femmes de chevaux.

Welcome to the third episode of the Coach's Corner Series! We live in a culture that celebrates being busy, but very few people stop to ask what that constant pace is actually doing to their bodies.  In this episode, I'm joined by Vital Spark Coach Mackenzie for an honest conversation about the connection between chronic stress, mindset, and physical health. We explore why stress isn't just emotional, it can influence digestion, hormones, inflammation, energy, and even your ability to reach your health goals. You'll hear why your body responds to a packed schedule the same way it responds to many other perceived threats, and how that keeps so many women stuck in a constant state of fight-or-flight. We also unpack why stress management doesn't have to mean hour-long meditation sessions or completely overhauling your routine.  Instead, we share practical ways to regulate your nervous system in the middle of a busy day, from taking a few intentional breaths before meals to finding small moments of calm that fit into real life. We talk about how shifting from frantic energy to calm energy can completely change the way your body responds, even when your schedule doesn't slow down.  Coach Mackenzie also shares how she coaches busy moms, healthcare professionals, and women with demanding careers to prioritize their health without adding more pressure to their plates. One of my favorite parts of this conversation is our discussion around gratitude and the powerful mindset shift from "I have to" toward "I get to."  We also explore why approaching your health journey with curiosity instead of perfection creates far more sustainable results over time. If you've been feeling overwhelmed, constantly on the go, or wondering why your body isn't responding despite your best efforts, I think this episode will help you connect some important dots.  My hope is that you'll walk away realizing that supporting your nervous system doesn't require perfection, it simply starts with creating a little more space for your body to feel safe.   Time Stamps:   (2:27) Why Women Struggle Putting Themselves First (5:51) What Our Successful Clients Do (8:44) Handling Constipation (14:02) Clarity on What To Focus On (16:17) Managing Sleep --------------------- 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?

Helena Stormanns' story is a remarkable one. She belongs to a generation of horsemen and horsewomen who learned their craft through hard work, observation, and years of experience. Before she ever rode ponies, she was mucking out stables at her local riding school. Before owning her first competition horse, she was riding ponies that belonged to other people.After competing at the highest level for many years—including appearances in Grand Prix classes and at the World Championships—Helena chose a different path. Rather than pursuing her own competitive ambitions, she dedicated herself to helping the next generation of riders reach theirs.Today, she is one of those exceptional coaches whose influence extends far beyond the arena. She has guided—and continues to guide—some of the sport's finest riders, including Jessica Springsteen, Michael Duffy, Petronella Andersson, and, more recently, the incredibly talented Nina Mallevaey.What struck us most throughout this conversation was not only Helena's depth of knowledge, but also her humility, her generosity, and the clarity with which she speaks about horses, riders, and the sport itself.We left this interview inspired, and we truly hope you will too.If you enjoy this episode, we'd love to hear from you.

Lorsqu'on évoque les sports équestres, notre regard se tourne presque instinctivement vers le saut d'obstacles, le dressage ou le concours complet. Ce sont les disciplines les plus médiatisées, les plus suivies, celles qui occupent le devant de la scène.

Welcome to the first episode of the Coach's Corner Series! This is a special series where I'm sitting down with the incredible functional health coaches and practitioners from the Vital Spark Coaching team to dive deeper into some of the topics we help clients navigate every day. One of the things I love most about our team is that each coach brings their own unique experiences, expertise, and perspective to supporting women through real-life struggles with hormones, metabolism, gut health, energy, body composition, and so much more. These conversations are designed to bring you behind the scenes and give you access to the knowledge, insights, and practical strategies they use with clients every day. Today I'm joined by Jodi Stonehocker and we are going to be talking all things mind body connection. If this is a new area of you, you're really going to enjoy this episode we believe because it's going to connect a lot of dots that a lot of traditional medicine doesn't. We'll also be discussing how mindset affects the body and physiology, the role of hyper vigilance, and where to start with mind body coaching.   Time Stamps:   (2:22) What Mind Body Coaching Really Is (6:32) How Mindset Affects The Body and Physiology (18:10) Hyper Vigilance (21:52) Supplements, Medication, and Peptides (24:27) Where To Start (28:12) Loving Yourself For Who You Are --------------------- 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 episode of In The LOOP, Jordan Jo sits down with Neil Shultz—a financial advisor turned trusted friend—for a conversation rooted in ownership, discipline, and building a life beyond the rodeo arena. What started as a simple phone call with “$2,000 to invest” turned into something much bigger… a full shift in mindset around money, priorities, and the future. Neil brings a perspective that most in the rodeo world don't always have access to—one that challenges the way we think about income, debt, and what happens when the rodeo road slows down. They talk about paying yourself first, understanding good versus bad debt, and why having a plan matters more than how much money you start with. At the core of it all is a simple belief: If you don't have a plan… you're already behind. This episode is a reminder that success isn't just about what you win in the arena… it's about what you build after it.

When a horse develops a behavioural problem, most of us reach for training. More lessons. More exercises. Better technique. A different method. But what if the horse isn't expressing a training problem at all? What if they're expressing a living problem? In this episode of Horse First, Lockie Phillips explores one of the most overlooked realities in modern horsemanship: horses spend far more time living in their management systems than they do being trained within them. From difficult-to-catch horses and separation anxiety to tension, explosiveness, and so-called laziness, Lockie examines how movement, forage, social contact, comfort, and predictability shape behaviour long before a trainer enters the picture. This is not an argument against training. It's an argument for looking at the whole horse. Because before we ask how to change a behaviour, it may be worth asking what problem that behaviour is solving for the horse. Sometimes the answer isn't a better technique. Sometimes it's a better life. And remarkably often, when the life improves, the behaviour follows. Hosted by Simplecast, an AdsWizz company.

Named a “legendary Lakota horseman” by the Oglala Sioux Tribe, Fred Ecoffey (Oglala Lakota) has enjoyed a celebrated 68-year career as a jockey. After winning his debut race in 1957, Ecoffey went on to compete in more than 17,500 races, earning inductions into both the Nebraska Racing Hall of Fame and the South Dakota Sports Hall of Fame. Ecoffey, 88, has retired from professional racing, though he still helps one of his daughters with her barrel racing from time to time. Today, a new generation of young Native jockeys is taking up the mantle and finding success on the racetrack. Among them is Talliyah Timentwa (Colville Tribes), a two-time national Indian Relay champion who made her debut at Washington state’s Emerald Downs racecourse last year. We'll speak with Native horse riders about cultivating the art of horsemanship across disciplines, from relay races and jockeying to the sport of dressage. Fred Ecoffey (Oglala Lakota), retired jockey, elder, and “legendary Lakota horseman” Talliyah Timentwa (Confederated Tribes of the Colville Reservation), amateur jockey and two-time Indian Relay champion Kate Nelson (Tlingit), journalist and amateur dressage rider Break 1 Music: My Horse (song) Courtney Yellow Fat (artist) The Lost Songs of Sitting Bull (album) Break 2 Music: Medicine Wheel (song) Logan Staats (artist) Rainwater (album)

Check Out Sahil Bloom's Newsletter That Inspired This Episode What if having more choices is actually making you less satisfied with the life you're building?  In this episode, we explore a fascinating psychological study from Harvard that challenges the common belief that keeping your options open always leads to better outcomes.  You'll discover why our minds respond differently to permanent decisions versus reversible ones, and how that shapes our happiness, confidence, and commitment.  We also examine how modern technology has created a world overflowing with options, from careers and relationships to health advice and personal growth.  While endless possibilities can feel empowering, they can also leave us constantly wondering if something better is just around the corner.  This episode introduces the idea of the "eject button mentality", the temptation to abandon meaningful pursuits the moment they become uncomfortable or uncertain.  We discuss why the end of the honeymoon phase isn't necessarily a sign that you've chosen the wrong path, but often the point where real growth begins.  You'll learn how to distinguish between healthy persistence and knowing when it's truly time to move on. Rather than making major decisions in moments of frustration, we'll explore the value of evaluating your circumstances with a clear and steady perspective.  If you've ever questioned a relationship, career, business, or personal goal simply because the excitement faded, this conversation offers a fresh way to think about commitment.    Time Stamps:   (3:02) The Eject Button Mentality (9:32) My Thoughts On This Article (14:08) What Commitment Looks Like (23:02) Having A Trusted Advisor --------------------- 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?

Buster McLaury figures he has started nearly 10,000 colts under saddle. Before becoming a full-time trainer and clinician, he cowboyed in the thick brush country of West Texas. He says there's nothing he loves more than working cattle horseback, and for many years he made a living working for legendary outfits such as the Four Sixes, the Triangle and the JA. However, his career shifted about 30 years ago when he began training horses for ranches such as the Moorhouse and Pitchfork. He also began teaching horsemanship clinics, inspired by gentler methods he learned from renowned horseman Ray Hunt. McLaury and his wife, Sheryl, have traveled throughout the country and hosted many horsemanship clinics at their home in Paducah, Texas. They have started colts for legendary ranches such as the Haythorn in Nebraska, the Muleshoe in Texas, the Parker in Hawaii, the Stuart in Oklahoma, and the Waggoner in Texas. Today, McLaury continues to start colts, teach horsemanship, and work cattle whenever he gets the chance. A big thank you goes out to our sponsor, 100th Meridian Ranching 100thmeridianranching.com

What if the biggest thing holding back your gut health isn't the supplement you're missing but the habits you repeat every single day? In this episode, I'm breaking down the simple, foundational practices that support healthy digestion long before you ever consider probiotics, parasite cleanses, or specialized gut testing. We often get asked which supplements or lab tests someone should start with, but the truth is that most people haven't built the daily habits their digestive system needs to function well in the first place. I'll explain why digestion actually begins before your first bite of food and how stress, distractions, and eating on the go can interfere with your body's ability to properly break down and absorb nutrients. We also dive into why slowing down, chewing your food thoroughly, and creating a calm eating environment can dramatically improve bloating, gas, reflux, and other common digestive complaints. From there, we'll talk about why your gut thrives on consistency, how your circadian rhythm and migrating motor complex work together to keep your digestive system healthy, and why constant snacking may be working against you. I'll also share practical strategies to support your gut between meals through movement, hydration, stress management, sleep, and recovery.  Finally, we'll discuss how nutrition should be tailored to the feedback your body is giving you, whether you're struggling with constipation, diarrhea, or other digestive symptoms. Think of these habits as the foundation of a house. Supplements and advanced testing have their place, but they're far more effective when they're built on top of healthy daily routines.  If you've been searching for better digestion, less bloating, and a healthier gut, this episode will give you actionable steps you can start implementing today.   Time Stamps:   (1:32) Bets On Pregnancy Date (5:07) Sharp Right Turn Into Gut Health (8:23) A Digestive-Friendly Environment (14:07) Slowing Down Our Eating (19:24) Build A Rhythm Your Gut Can Predict (20:57) Spacing Out Meals (23:12) Supporting Your Gut Between Meals (26:27) Feed The Outcome You Want --------------------- 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 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?

In this episode of In The LOOP Podcast, Jordan Jo Hollabaugh sits down with one of barrel racing's most respected champions, Sherry Cervi. A 19-time NFR qualifier and four-time world champion, Sherry has built a career defined by great horses, quiet confidence, deep faith, and the people who helped shape her along the way. From growing up on Potter Ranch with rodeo in her blood, to learning horsemanship from her mom and mental toughness from her dad, Sherry reflects on the foundation that carried her through decades of competition. She shares stories behind some of the legendary horses that changed her life, including Troubles, Hawk, De Niro, and Stingray, while also opening up about the breeding program her father believed in so deeply. From De Niro's lasting influence to Stingray's next generation, Sherry talks about what it means to carry on a legacy through horses that continue to impact the industry. This conversation also goes far beyond gold buckles. Sherry talks about the importance of appreciating the small moments, staying grateful for the people who help you along the way, and using your story to give hope to someone else. Through loss, purpose, faith, and the western industry that has surrounded her, she shares what it means to keep showing up, keep learning, and keep giving back. ----In The LOOP Podcast hosted by Jordan Jo Hollabaugh, is inspired by the western culture and breakaway roping lifestyle.

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?

Send us Fan MailTonya Johnston, Mental Skills Coach speaks with researcher Janet Jones, Ph.D. about her new book, A Horse's World: A Neuroscientist's Journey Into the Equine Mind.  Brought to you by Taylor, Harris Insurance Services.Host: Tonya Johnston, Visit her Website, Facebook and buy her book Inside Your Ride Guest:  Welcome to the creative home of Janet Jones' books including her latest effort, A Horse's World: A Neuroscientist's Journey Into the Equine Mind, and the international bestseller Horse Brain, Human Brain: The Neuroscience of Horsemanship. With her background as neuroscientist, horse trainer, and writer, Janet is uniquely positioned to apply brain function to the training of horses and riders. Through experience with about a thousand horses, she has developed training techniques that work with--instead of against--equine brains. In 2014, she took this knowledge public and now teaches brain-based horsemanship all over the world, in person, online, and in writing.Janet's newest book, A Horse's World, introduces the general public to these magnificent prey animals through the real-life narrative of her horse True North, as he progressed from a naïve colt to an adult horse who understands human expectations. Along the way, it offers new knowledge to scientists, equine professionals, and curious general readers about how horses think, feel, learn, interact, and connect with humans. In proposal form, A Horse's World became the object of a bidding war among eight top publishing houses in New York. All horsemanship rests on mutual interaction between horse and human brains. By understanding how our horses' brains work, and how their brains differ from ours, we can ride and handle horses more safelytrain more effectivelyimprove performance in all equine disciplinesprotect our animals' comfort and welfareencourage mutual trust between prey and predator speciesdevelop brain-to-brain communication between species, andcreate stronger horse-and-human teams.All horses and humans have brains and must use them regardless of discipline. For that reason, brain-based horsemanship is as relevant to Western riders as English, as important to headers and heelers or working draft breeds as to dressage champions, racehorses, Grand Prix jumpers, and backyard pasture ornaments. Anyone who works with horses should learn how equine and human brains work in tandem.Janet Jones earned her Ph.D. in cognitive science from UCLA and taught the neuroscience of perception, language, memory, and thought for 23 years. She  trained horses at a large stable early in her career, and later ran a successful horse training business of her own. She has schooled hundreds of green or difficult horses, rides many breeds and disciplines, and has competed in hunter, jumper, halter, western riding, and reining. She uses the basic principles of dressage in all horse sports. Janet developed brain-based horsemanship and offers it to horse enthusiasts in Horse Brain, Human Brain. In her latest book, A Horse's World: A Neuroscientist's Journey Into the Equine Mind, she broadens her perspective to invite the general public to learn why some of us love horses so much.Subscribe To: The Plaid Horse MagazineTitle Sponsor: Taylor, Harris Insurance ServicesSponsors: Zoetis, Sentinel, Chewy and Mojo Joint Join us at an upcoming Plaidcast in Person live event!theplaidhorse.comThank you so much for joining us today on the Plaidcast.

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.

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?

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?

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?

Ty and Richard sit down and have a chat all about horses and horsemanship and all aspects of the equine industry.

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?
