Hi friends! I have a brand new podcast episode live, and today we are talking all about thyroid health, hormones, and why so many women are being told they're "fine" when they are absolutely not. I'm sitting down with Ashley Cruz Arata, certified Integrative Health Practitioner and hormone specialist. For years she was dismissed by doctors who her me everything was fine because "all the labs were normal." Meanwhile, she was dealing with 35 lbs of weight gain, relentless joint pain, brain fog and crippling fatigue. She eventually healed herself and now helps high-achieving women 35+ get the real answers their doctors have been missing. I think you are going to love her. Check out what we chat about: Why conventional thyroid testing only looks at two markers and why that is a massive problem for millions of women The labs you should actually be asking for, including free T3, reverse T3, TPO antibodies, cortisol, and sex hormones Why intermittent fasting and more cardio can make thyroid dysfunction significantly worse The truth about thyroid medication and why taking it does not mean you are done Two free, easy at-home habits that support your thyroid and cortisol rhythm every single day The protein-before-coffee habit that can completely change how your day feels How stress is silently wrecking your hormones and Ashley's Sunday night ritual to manage it without adding more to your plate And so much more!! It was so great getting to chat with Ashley and I hope you love this episode!

 With AI becoming increasingly powerful, many health coaches are wondering whether technology will eventually replace the need for human coaching.   On today's show, we explore why AI may actually increase the value of health coaches rather than diminish it, and why information alone has never been enough to create lasting transformation.   Julia explains the critical difference between providing information and facilitating behavior change, highlighting the unique role coaches play in accountability, emotional support, active listening, and helping clients overcome the mindset barriers that often prevent progress.   She also shares why the most successful coaches in the future will be those who embrace AI as a tool while continuing to strengthen the human skills that technology cannot replicate, such as empathy, relationship-building, and guiding clients through meaningful change.   Tune in to today's Integrative #HealthCoachSuccess episode 443 to discover why health coaches remain essential in the age of AI and how you can position yourself to thrive in the future of health and wellness coaching.   Enjoy the show!   - - -     Listen or Watch At:  IHP.Coach/443   - - - Dr. Cabral's Book, The Rain Barrel Effect: https://amzn.to/2H0W7Ge - - - Become an Integrative Health Practitioner: https://integrativehealthpractitioner.org

If your Instagram following isn't growing, it's easy to blame the algorithm. But in most cases, the real issue has nothing to do with Instagram itself and instead everything to do with the social strategy no one has ever shared with you.   In this episode, we break down the most common reasons health coaches struggle to gain traction online. From unclear messaging and inconsistent posting to weak hooks and content that fails to connect, you'll discover what may actually be holding your growth back.   We'll also explore what's working on Instagram today, why some coaches seem to grow effortlessly while others stay stuck, and the small shifts that can make a big difference in how people discover, engage with, and follow your content.   On today's Integrative #HealthCoachSuccess episode 442, we're going to break down why your Instagram following isn't growing and what health coaches need to know to build an audience online – Enjoy the show! - - -   Listen or Watch At:  IHP.Coach/442   - - - Dr. Cabral's Book, The Rain Barrel Effect: https://amzn.to/2H0W7Ge - - - Become an Integrative Health Practitioner: https://integrativehealthpractitioner.org  

This is a powerful conversation on reclaiming your relationship with your body.

 When a child is diagnosed with cancer, families are often left searching for answers, support, and hope beyond conventional treatment alone. Yet many parents don't realize there are ways to support the body alongside chemotherapy, radiation, and surgery through personalized nutrition, functional testing, and root-cause health strategies.   On today's episode Season Johnson shares her powerful journey from navigating her own son's leukemia diagnosis at age three to becoming a leading practitioner in the pediatric cancer space. She explains how her family's experience inspired her mission to help children and families thrive through and beyond cancer treatment.   We discuss the role of functional medicine lab testing, toxin exposure, and personalized health protocols in supporting recovery, reducing side effects, and creating an environment where optimal healing can take place. Season also highlights the importance of hope, human connection, and compassionate care during some of life's most challenging moments.   If you'd like to learn how integrative health coaching and functional testing can support families facing cancer while complementing conventional care, tune in to today's Integrative #HealthCoachSuccess episode 441.   Enjoy the show, and let us know what you think! - - -   Listen or Watch At:  IHP.Coach/441   - - - Dr. Cabral's Book, The Rain Barrel Effect: https://amzn.to/2H0W7Ge - - - Become an Integrative Health Practitioner: https://integrativehealthpractitioner.org  

In this powerful re-run, we open the door to one of the most life-changing truths… your Unconscious Mind is running the show

 After working with thousands of practitioners, one thing becomes very clear: most health coaches don't have a knowledge problem—they have a systems problem.   Too many coaches rely on inspiration and constant improvisation, which eventually leads to overwhelm, burnout, and inconsistent career growth. In this episode, we break down the only 3 systems every health coach truly needs in order to scale successfully and that allow coaches to grow without sacrificing their time, energy, or client experience. We'll also explain why the fastest-growing coaches are often not the smartest, but the most organized. Plus, we'll walk through practical ways to systemize your business step-by-step so you can improve consistency, create better client outcomes, and stop rebuilding everything from scratch every single week. On today's Integrative #HealthCoachSuccess episode 440 we're going to break down all the details of the 3 essential systems every health coach needs to grow and scale – Enjoy the show! - - -   Listen or Watch At:  IHP.Coach/440   - - - Dr. Cabral's Book, The Rain Barrel Effect: https://amzn.to/2H0W7Ge - - - Become an Integrative Health Practitioner: https://integrativehealthpractitioner.org  

Lawrence Ellyard, shares his powerful journey that began with a simple parking ticket

Helping clients create lasting health changes often has less to do with motivation and more to do with understanding the psychology behind habits and behavior change.   On today's show, we explore why some habits stick while others don't, and why many clients struggle to follow through even when they know exactly what they should be doing.   Julia breaks down how small behavioral shifts, mindset patterns, and daily routines can shape long-term health outcomes, while also sharing practical ways coaches can help clients build more sustainable change over time.   She also explains why consistency often matters more than intensity, and how helping clients create small wins can lead to greater confidence, momentum, and lasting transformation.   Tune in to today's Integrative #HealthCoachSuccess episode 439 to learn how a deeper understanding of habits can help you become a more effective coach and better support your clients' wellness goals.   Enjoy the show!   - - -   Listen or Watch At:  IHP.Coach/439   - - - Dr. Cabral's Book, The Rain Barrel Effect: https://amzn.to/2H0W7Ge - - - Become an Integrative Health Practitioner: https://integrativehealthpractitioner.org

Most health coaches try to sell low-ticket programs and wonder why they struggle to attract committed clients. Meanwhile, the top coaches package their services into premium transformation programs that command higher prices because they focus on outcomes, personalization, and structure, not just coaching sessions.   In this episode, we break down how to create a high-level coaching program that actually sells without discounting your services or chasing clients. From functional medicine lab testing and detox protocols to personalized plans and accountability systems, you'll learn how to build an offer that stands out and creates real perceived value.   We'll also walk through how to structure a premium transformation package, why bundling works so well psychologically, and how to position your program in a way that feels prescriptive instead of salesy. If you've been struggling to grow your coaching business or justify higher pricing, this episode will help you create an offer clients feel confident saying "yes" to.   On today's Integrative #HealthCoachSuccess episode 438 we're going to break down all the details of How to Create a High-Level Coaching Program That Sells – Enjoy the show!   - - -   Listen or Watch At:  IHP.Coach/438   - - - Dr. Cabral's Book, The Rain Barrel Effect: https://amzn.to/2H0W7Ge - - - Become an Integrative Health Practitioner: https://integrativehealthpractitioner.org

Hi friends! I have a brand new podcast episode live, and Betsy is back for round two!! If you haven't heard of Betsy, she is the creator behind Boujee Betsy, a community for women in their 40s who are finally choosing themselves, and she is as real as it gets. She's also one of my best friends in the whole world!! Today we are picking up right where we left off, diving into our personal experiences with peptides, the mental side of weight loss maintenance, body image, and so much more. Here's what we chat about: Betsy's background, how she lost 70 pounds with the help of a GLP-1, and what life looks like now in maintenance mode The mental and emotional journey of rebuilding your identity after significant weight loss Why maintaining your goal weight is honestly harder than losing it (and why nobody talks about that) Body image after weight loss and why some days you still feel like you're in your old body Why Betsy never counted calories or followed a strict food program and how she still maintains her results The "ingredient household" approach to feeding a family and keeping it realistic What is next for Betsy as she steps away from 20 years in education to focus on family and content creation And so much more!! Betsy's honesty about the parts of the wellness journey that nobody glamorizes is so refreshing, and I just know you are going to love her. Betsy is not your typical wellness guest. She's 45, unapologetically high-maintenance, and the creator behind @Boujee.Betsy — a community for women in their 40s who are finally choosing themselves. After losing 70 pounds with the help of a GLP-1, she'll be the first to tell you the medication wasn't the hard part. The hard part was everything it uncovered. Betsy speaks openly about maintaining weight loss when nobody's congratulating you for it anymore, the fear that never fully goes away, and the mental work of rebuilding your identity from the inside out. She's been in fight or flight mode for most of her adult life - and she's finally, deliberately, living differently. Her superpower? Saying out loud what everyone else is afraid to admit. Her mission? Showing women that pouring into yourself isn't selfish. It's survival. Follow her journey at @Boujee.Betsy on Instagram.

Most health coaches think referrals come from "doing a good job." They don't. Good service creates satisfied clients, but referrals come from emotion, identity, and timing. If you're not building those into your process, you'll always be relying on hope instead of a system.   In this episode, I break down how to turn 1 client into 5+ referrals without awkward asks by creating key moments where clients naturally want to introduce you to others, and shifting from "asking for business" to helping the people they care about.   Referrals aren't asked for, they're triggered. If your clients aren't referring, it's not a people problem, it's a process problem. On today's Integrative #HealthCoachSuccess episode 436 you'll learn how to turn 1 client into 5 referrals without awkwardly asking - Enjoy the show and let us know what you thought!   - - -   Listen or Watch At:  IHP.Coach/436   - - - Dr. Cabral's Book, The Rain Barrel Effect: https://amzn.to/2H0W7Ge - - - Become an Integrative Health Practitioner: https://integrativehealthpractitioner.org  

In this episode, we dive into the powerful truth that your Unconscious Mind can either elevate your life or quietly keep you stuck

 Trying to decide whether group coaching or one-on-one coaching is the better path for your health coaching practice?   On today's show, Julia breaks down the key differences between these two coaching models and explains why the best choice often comes down to your personality, energy, strengths, and long-term vision.   She shares how one-on-one coaching may be ideal for deep listeners and highly empathic coaches, while group coaching can be a great fit for strong facilitators who thrive on momentum, accountability, and guiding group dynamics.   Julia also explains why alignment matters more than following someone else's formula, and how experimenting with one model, or a hybrid approach, can help you build a business that feels sustainable, authentic, and energizing.   Tune in to today's Integrative #HealthCoachSuccess episode 435 to discover whether group coaching, one-on-one coaching is the right fit for you and your coaching career.   Enjoy the show!   - - -   Listen or Watch At:  IHP.Coach/435   - - - Dr. Cabral's Book, The Rain Barrel Effect: https://amzn.to/2H0W7Ge - - - Become an Integrative Health Practitioner: https://integrativehealthpractitioner.org  

 AI is moving fast and a lot of health coaches are starting to ask: am I going to be replaced? It's a fair question. With tools now able to build plans, answer questions, and analyze data instantly, the industry is clearly shifting. But what that actually means for the future of coaching might not be what you think. In this episode, I break down what's really happening behind the scenes and where things are headed next. There are parts of coaching that are about to change quickly, and others that may become even more valuable than ever before. The difference between the two could determine who thrives… and who struggles to keep up. If you're a coach, or thinking about becoming one, this is a conversation you need to hear. Because the future of coaching isn't just about technology - it's about understanding how to evolve with it.   Tune into today's Integrative #HealthCoachSuccess episode 434 to find out if Ai will replace coaches - enjoy the show and let us know if you have any questions in the comments!  - -   Listen or Watch At:  IHP.Coach/434   - - - Dr. Cabral's Book, The Rain Barrel Effect: https://amzn.to/2H0W7Ge - - - Become an Integrative Health Practitioner: https://integrativehealthpractitioner.org  

✨ In this inspiring conversation, Olga Alexeeva shares how years of being strong, self-sufficient, and successful left her emotionally disconnected and longing for deeper intimacy.

 Many health coaches struggle with how to build a business that feels aligned, sustainable, and true to who they are, especially in a space that often promotes rigid strategies and one-size-fits-all approaches to success.   Vanessa opens up about her journey from building a high-performing, hustle-driven business that led to burnout, to rediscovering her health and purpose through deeper emotional work, detox protocols, and integrative health practices.   We explore how suppressed emotions, misalignment, and traditional "masculine" business models can impact the body, and why reconnecting with your intuition, energy, and personal truth is key to long-term success and healing.   If you want to learn how to build a business that supports your health and operate from a place of authenticity and ease, tune in to today's Integrative #HealthCoachSuccess episode 433.   Enjoy the show, and let us know what you think!   - - -   Listen or Watch At:  IHP.Coach/433   - - - Dr. Cabral's Book, The Rain Barrel Effect: https://amzn.to/2H0W7Ge - - - Become an Integrative Health Practitioner: https://integrativehealthpractitioner.org

As you approach the end of the quarter, there's one question that matters: are you focused on what actually grows your practice, or just staying busy? Most health coaches get stuck "minoring in major things," and it quietly holds them back.   In this episode, we break down the few decisions that determine whether your practice gains traction or stalls out.

Hi friends! I have a brand new podcast episode live, and today I'm diving into one of my all-time favorite topics — sleep!

What if one session could change everything? In this episode, Tracy Gilbart shares how a single Time Line Therapy® session for a business challenge unexpectedly cleared 30 years of chronic anxiety—revealing the power of working directly with the Unconscious Mind. When you access the Unconscious Mind, you unlock the gateway to the Higher Self—the blueprint for perfect health and aligned living. ✨We explore the Four Bodies (physical, emotional, mental, spiritual), the Three Minds, and the transformational practice of “Practice the Pause.” When you resolve root causes at the unconscious level, healing becomes natural, generational cycles shift, and aligned choices feel effortless.

 Have you ever had a client who seemed excited to improve their health but struggled to actually follow through on the plan?   On today's show, Julia explores why many clients resist change even after investing in coaching, running labs, and learning exactly what they need to do.   We dive into the psychological and emotional barriers that often stand in the way of progress, including identity conflicts, fear of failure, overwhelm and more...   Julia also explains how understanding these underlying drivers can help coaches respond with curiosity and compassion rather than frustration, allowing them to guide clients toward greater awareness and readiness for change.   Tune in to today's Integrative #HealthCoachSuccess episode 429 to learn how recognizing these hidden barriers can strengthen your coaching approach and help clients move from intention to real transformation.   Enjoy the show!   - - -   Listen or Watch At:  IHP.Coach/429   - - - Dr. Cabral's Book, The Rain Barrel Effect: https://amzn.to/2H0W7Ge - - - Become an Integrative Health Practitioner: https://integrativehealthpractitioner.org  

In this episode, Andrew shares his personal transformation—moving through trauma, addiction, and a deeply reactive identity shaped by his childhood and years working in the oil and gas industry. Through journaling, breath work, and hypnosis-based tools, he began rewiring old survival patterns and reclaiming his sense of choice and freedom.

 Should you start a podcast as a health coach?   It's a question many practitioners ask as they begin thinking about how to share their message and grow their practice.   In this episode, we explore what it really takes to build an audience, create meaningful content, and position yourself as a trusted voice in your niche.   You'll discover a simple way to think about content creation that can help you reach more people, build confidence sharing your message, and clarify exactly who you're meant to serve.   Tune in to this week's Integrative #HealthCoachSuccess episode 428 to learn how to choose the right platform, grow your authority, and expand your reach as a health coach!   - - -   Listen or Watch At:  IHP.Coach/428   - - - Dr. Cabral's Book, The Rain Barrel Effect: https://amzn.to/2H0W7Ge - - - Become an Integrative Health Practitioner: https://integrativehealthpractitioner.org  

How you show up in the world matters more than you may realize

Many new health coaches struggle with how to stand out, build trust, and confidently begin working with clients, especially in the early stages of their certification.   On today's episode, we're joined by Theresa Kasper, an Integrative Health Practitioner and former special education teacher, who shares how she's successfully blended her background in education with functional health coaching to create meaningful impact in just over a year.   Theresa opens up about her personal healing journey with autoimmune symptoms, chronic fatigue, and nutrient deficiencies, and how discovering functional lab testing became the catalyst for both her recovery and her new career path.   We discuss how she uses educational group workshops to break down overwhelm, reduce hesitation, and build powerful "like, know, and trust" within her community.   Theresa also shares valuable insight for newer IHPs navigating imposter syndrome, comparison, and social media pressure.   If you want to learn how to leverage workshops to grow your coaching practice, build trust quickly, and serve clients in a way that feels aligned and sustainable, tune in to today's Integrative #HealthCoachSuccess episode 427.   Enjoy the show, and let us know what you think!   - - -   Listen or Watch At:  IHP.Coach/427   - - - Dr. Cabral's Book, The Rain Barrel Effect: https://amzn.to/2H0W7Ge - - - Become an Integrative Health Practitioner: https://integrativehealthpractitioner.org  

What happens when outward success no longer matches your inner truth?

Hi friends! I have a brand new podcast episode live, and today is a very special one — episode 200

Perimenopause doesn't have to feel like a mystery you're meant to “just push through.”This conversation explores what's really happening in midlife and why so many women feel stuck between symptoms and real solutions. I'm joined by integrative health practitioner Marnee Dejong as we unpack mold toxicity, gut dysfunction, mineral depletion, and why it's almost never “just one thing” during this phase.We talk about functional testing (GI-MAP, DUTCH, mineral analysis), the role of hormone replacement therapy, and the growing conversation around peptide therapy; what's helpful, what's hype, and what should make you pause. Most importantly, we break down why foundations come first, how to think strategically about advanced tools, and how to advocate for your health without getting swept up in trends.If midlife feels louder than it used to, this conversation will steady you.

This is one of the most common questions health coaches ask, and the truth is, there's no universal right answer.    Showing prices or keeping them off your site can both work, or quietly hurt your practice, depending on your business model. In this episode, I break down when listing prices builds trust and efficiency, and when it actually commoditizes your work and lowers conversions.   We also cover when a conversation-first model makes more sense, especially for personalized, lab-based, or long-term programs. The real question isn't "Should I show my prices?" it's "How busy and I right now, and what decision do I want my website to make before I speak with a potential client?"   This episode will help you choose the right strategy for your stage, not someone else's.

 Many health coaches feel anxious or guilty when it comes time to charge for their services, but what if undercharging is actually hurting both you and your clients?   On today's show, Julia Hayes explores why pricing often feels uncomfortable for empathic, service-driven coaches, and how doing work for free or charging too little can undermine trust, commitment, and long-term transformation.   We explore the internal stories many coaches hold around money, self-worth, and the belief that support should not involve a meaningful financial exchange.   I also go over how these beliefs shape the coaching relationship, and why undercharging often leads to burnout, weak boundaries, and low client commitment, while a balanced exchange allows both coach and client to fully show up, grow, and create sustainable results.   Tune in to today's Integrative #HealthCoachSuccess episode 425 to learn how creating an energetically aligned fee structure supports your well-being, strengthens client outcomes, and allows your business to grow without burnout.   Enjoy the show! - - -   Listen or Watch At:  IHP.Coach/425   - - - Dr. Cabral's Book, The Rain Barrel Effect: https://amzn.to/2H0W7Ge - - - Become an Integrative Health Practitioner: https://integrativehealthpractitioner.org  

Hi friends! I have a brand new podcast episode live, and today we're diving into a topic that so many women are confused about but deeply affected by: perimenopause. I'm joined by the amazing mother-daughter duo, Candace and Jess from Your Hormone Balance, and we're breaking down what perimenopause actually is, why it can start earlier than most women expect, and how chronic stress and nervous system dysregulation play a huge role in hormone imbalances, fatigue, mood swings, weight gain, and more. This episode is especially for you if you're in your 30s or 40s, feeling "off" in your body, struggling with sleep, energy, anxiety, or changes in your cycle - and being told everything is "normal." Here's what we chat about: What perimenopause really is (and why it's an 8–10 year transition, not a single moment) The early signs of perimenopause, including changes in your cycle, mood, sleep, and energy Why progesterone is often the first hormone to decline — and how that impacts anxiety, PMS, and stress tolerance How chronic stress, overworking, under-eating, and people-pleasing disrupt ovulation and hormone balance The connection between nervous system dysregulation and symptoms like fatigue, brain fog, bloating, and low libido Why so many women are estrogen dominant — and how stress drives that imbalance The importance of hormone testing (and why symptoms alone don't tell the full story) Simple, realistic nervous system practices to lower cortisol and support healing Breathwork techniques like the "physiological sigh" to calm anxiety in real time Everyday vagus nerve tools: humming, singing, grounding, and gentle movement How boundaries, asking for help, and reducing people-pleasing can literally improve your hormones Why heavy, painful, or irregular periods are not something you should ignore The role of protein, nourishment, and avoiding extremes with exercise and caffeine This episode is such a powerful reminder that your body isn't broken;  it's responding to the life you're living. And with the right tools, support, and awareness, you can move through perimenopause feeling calmer, stronger, more regulated, and more in tune with your body. I hope you enjoy this episode!
