This episode is NOT just for women! Guys, let's start learning how to support the females in our lives through this life-changing experience: menopause. Join us on the Make Room Show today as we dive into the topic of menopause and overall health with our guest, Laurie Lewis. For this health coach, menopause dealt a crushing blow -- brain fog, pain, memory loss, and the sudden gain of 50 pounds of stubborn hormonal fat. She tried everything she knew to feel better, and the methods that worked in the past made no difference. After struggling for years she suddenly stumbled upon Intermittent Fasting which turned the course of her life. She started having an “eating window” that very same day, and in less than a week the menopausal fog lifted and she felt more like herself. Laurie restored her health and comfortable weight, and at 60-years old has changed thousands of lives around the world through her group programs, 1:1 personal coaching sessions, and is recognized as the go-to Intermittent Fasting expert. Talking points: 1. Laurie's personal journey and how she discovered the importance of fueling her body well, eventually becoming a health coach. 2. "Not-foods" 3. Laurie's experience of entering perimenopause and how it affected her physical and mental well-being. 4. Her discovery of the power of intermittent fasting in balancing hormones, reducing inflammation, and promoting mental clarity. In this conversation, Laurie emphasizes that intermittent fasting is not a one-size-fits-all approach. She encourages a gentle and consistent approach tailored to individual needs, lifestyle, and goals. She also addresses the misconception that menopause is an inevitable decline and highlights the possibility of feeling healthier and more vibrant during this phase of life. Join us as we delve into the physical and emotional benefits of intermittent fasting during perimenopause and explore how this practice can empower women to take control of their health. Whether you're already familiar with intermittent fasting or curious about its potential, this episode offers valuable insights and practical tips to make room for clarity and health in your life. -- Where to find Laurie: Website Instagram -- About your host, Jennifer Ford Berry: Jennifer is the host of the Make Room podcast (formerly The 29 Minute Mom podcast) and the founder of the Created Order Neighborhood, an online community of women who want to live a life of order and purpose.

After struggling for years she suddenly stumbled upon Intermittent Fasting which turned the course of her life. She started having an “eating window” that very same day, and in less than a week the menopausal fog lifted and she felt more like herself. Laurie restored her health and comfortable weight, and at 60-years old has changed thousands of lives around the world through her group programs, 1:1 personal coaching sessions, and is recognized as the go-to Intermittent Fasting expert. Talking points: 1. Laurie's personal journey and how she discovered the importance of fueling her body well, eventually becoming a health coach. 2. "Not-foods" 3. Laurie's experience of entering perimenopause and how it affected her physical and mental well-being. 4. Her discovery of the power of intermittent fasting in balancing hormones, reducing inflammation, and promoting mental clarity. In this conversation, Laurie emphasizes that intermittent fasting is not a one-size-fits-all approach. She encourages a gentle and consistent approach tailored to individual needs, lifestyle, and goals. She also addresses the misconception that menopause is an inevitable decline and highlights the possibility of feeling healthier and more vibrant during this phase of life. Join us as we delve into the physical and emotional benefits of intermittent fasting during perimenopause and explore how this practice can empower women to take control of their health. Whether you're already familiar with intermittent fasting or curious about its potential, this episode offers valuable insights and practical tips to make room for clarity and health in your life. -- Where to find Laurie: Website Instagram -- About your host, Jennifer Ford Berry: Jennifer is the host of the Make Room podcast (formerly The 29 Minute Mom podcast) and the founder of the Created Order Neighborhood, an online community of women who want to live a life of order and purpose.

How does clutter affect your health? Has this question ever crossed your mind? Please welcome our guest, Julie Barton, author of the book, The Clutter-Health Connection, as she unravels the impact clutter could be having on your physical and mental well-being. It's not just about wanting your house to look beautiful so you can have people over. It's about being healthy in your space. Feeling like you can do what you need to do without feeling the oppression or claustrophobia that can come with having too much stuff in your space. Clutter in your home is an ongoing stressor that you can't escape. When we are under a lot of stress, our cortisol levels rise. When these levels stay high for an extended period of time, we are going to start having physical health issues. The clutter can also affect your mental health as well. It may be causing you embarrassment or shame. It may be causing you to lose sleep, feel depressed, or over-eat. It can cause fogginess in your mind. There are countless health effects both mentally and physically that this clutter could be having on you. If you don't think your clutter is causing you stress, find a cluttered area in your home and stare at it for 5 minutes. Write down how you feel. Then clean up that same area and organize it, remove the excess, and put everything in its home. Now be in the space for 5 minutes and write down how you feel. Clutter is a huge energy drain. It is a never-ending narrative in your mind telling you, you should do this or, you should do that. You feel exhausted in your own space. Your clutter is telling you that you don't follow through on things, you don't complete tasks. Over time you start believing this. You start to feel like a failure. Even though it is so hard at times, it is worth putting in the effort to feel the healthful benefits; being able to breathe, and not having your stuff be another thing on your list to manage and take care of. And when we are constantly letting stuff dictate how we feel every day and dictate our thoughts and energy level, we have very little to put into our everyday life. We are not being intentional. We are being a slave to our stuff and that is not any way to live.-------------------------Do you want to get your life organized so you can focus on living out your God-given purpose?

OK, are you a baseball mom? If so, this is the episode for you! I have been one for over 17 years and I can't wait to share the organizing tips that keep me sane! This post is for you sisters of the game! Although it will also be useful for moms who spend a lot of time traveling for other sports with their kids. I will start with a little bit about my background as a baseball mom... I started getting into baseball when my high school sweetheart, now hubby Josh, played and I got roped into being the scorekeeper because spring was a season I personally sport free because I was busy as a dancer. After high school, Josh went on to play college baseball up until he was signed to play with a professional team in Canada. (ironically Josh's Grandpa was a Canadian that got signed to play pro ball in the US). So I was watching a lot of baseball before our son Bryceton was even born! But on February 28, 2005, it was revealed to me that I would most likely be watching way more baseball when our son Bryceton was born. So it began, the games, Josh coaching multiple teams, the tryouts, the travel and now this summer is the busiest of all. The summer before senior year. We will be living out of our suitcases most of the summer so I thought I would share what I have learned and how I stay organized in hopes of helping the next moms coming up into this world of baseball.-------------------------Do you want to get your life organized so you can focus on living out your God-given purpose?
