Episode Description: In today's episode (originally recorded as an Instagram Live), I'm answering some of your most pressing questions about insulin resistance and the buzz around GLP-1 medications—through the lens of real healing, root cause solutions, and God's design for the body. We're talking about: Why you might still have insulin resistance even if your labs look “normal” What actually happens when insulin is high—even if your blood sugar isn't How long it takes to reverse insulin resistance (and what most people get wrong) Why some people struggle with insulin resistance even when they're not overweight What GLP-1 is, and why it affects hunger and fat loss How to naturally support GLP-1 function without meds What happens when you stop taking medications like Ozempic or Mounjaro And the truth about whether GLP-1 meds fix root issues or just mask symptoms Plus: I'm sharing the exact free resources and tools I use with clients to naturally support insulin, blood sugar, and hormone balance—without gimmicks or restriction.

Summer feels like this beautiful blur - slow mornings, late nights, kids everywhere, and routines flying out the window. Then suddenly, school is back, mornings feel like a sprint, and your hormones are like, “Cool, here's some PMS and random mood swings, enjoy!”I've been there, and I promise it doesn't have to stay that way! That's why in this episode, I'm sharing four simple routine shifts that I personally rely on to feel grounded, energized, and less moody. These are small changes, but they send powerful “you're safe” signals to your body, which is exactly what your hormones need to do their job. Here's what you'll get:[4.42] Easy morning and evening tweaks to calm stress and help you sleep better[6.52] A no-excuse breakfast plan so your energy stops crashing before lunch [8.40] The best times of day to work out for balanced hormones and steady energy[14.02] Small detox habits that keep PMS, bloating, and “ugh” days from taking over your lifeGrab your coffee, step out on the porch if you can, hit play, and let's chat about how to make this next season feel lighter on your body and your hormones.

When clients come to work with me, one of the most common stories I hear is: "I've already spent THOUSANDS of dollars healing." This story often comes with a mix of bitterness, grief, and discouragement, but the most dangerous emotion it can come with is distrust. While other emotions like bitterness and grief can be painful or heavy to bear, distrust is one of the most dangerous emotions I see potential clients have because it breaks their ability to rely on others. Relying on others is something we all need to heal, because whether it's a matter of paying an expert to help us do something or simply trusting a friend or family member to care about us and bear our burdens with us, distrust sows the seed of unwillingness to move forward and get what we actually need to heal - others. That's why, on today's episode, I'm digging into the topic of how to handle the distrust that comes along when multiple providers or "solutions" you've paid time, money, and effort on end up in disappointment and pain. On this episode, I'll be sharing parts of my own personal story with distrust and discouragement in my health along with quotes from a book I've been digging into on trust, and stories from the lives of my clients. Whether you're trying to heal your gut, hormones, thyroid, brain, or any other set of symptoms or diagnoses - I hope this episode encourages you and gives you brain something new to chew on as you move forward in healing.

Skin tags, those small, fleshy bumps that often appear on the neck, underarms, or groin, may be more than just a cosmetic issue.

In this episode of the PCOS Repair Podcast, you'll discover the nuanced relationship between body weight and fertility for women with PCOS. This topic is often clouded by myths and oversimplified advice—especially from healthcare providers who may suggest weight loss as the best “fix” without explaining the deeper hormonal dynamics at play. This episode offers clarity on how weight can impact the menstrual cycle, influence ovulation, and affect overall reproductive health, while emphasizing why simply losing weight is not the ultimate solution.Weight and PCOS SymptomsWeight does not cause PCOS, and why losing weight doesn't automatically cure it. Instead, excess weight is often a symptom of underlying root causes like insulin resistance, inflammation, stress hormone imbalance, and hormonal disturbances. This episode explains how these root causes both contribute to weight gain and become worsened by it, creating a frustrating loop. Gain a clearer understanding of how excess fat can disrupt estrogen, insulin, and LH levels, leading to ovulatory dysfunction and impaired egg quality.What A Fertility-Friendly Weight Really Looks LikeA fertility-friendly weight isn't the same as the unrealistic weights promoted by the diet industry.  This episode provides a science-based approach to what constitutes a healthy weight for fertility. You'll hear how body fat percentage, not the number on the scale, is a more reliable marker of hormonal balance. And how even a modest percent reduction in weight can make a significant difference in restoring ovulation and improving cycle regularity. This episode also includes helpful guidance on tracking body composition and tuning into key signs of hormonal improvement.How to Lose Weight Without Harming Your HormonesFor those navigating PCOS-related weight challenges, this episode offers a sustainable roadmap for improving body composition while protecting hormone health. Listeners are encouraged to identify their root cause, whether it's insulin, inflammation, stress, or nutrient depletion, and tailor their nutrition, movement, and recovery habits accordingly. Instead of focusing on restrictive dieting, this conversation emphasizes gentle, blood-sugar-friendly eating, strength-building movement, and the importance of stress reduction and sleep for hormonal resilience.And remember, PCOS is not a weight issue, it's a hormone imbalance that shows up differently for every woman. Listen now to learn how to track meaningful markers of improvement beyond weight, such as ovulation patterns, energy, and mood. If you've been confused or overwhelmed by advice to “just lose weight” for PCOS, this episode provides the context and clarity to move forward to better PCOS health with the confidence to support your body in a way that's both effective and compassionate.You can take the quiz to discover your root cause hereLet's continue the conversation on Instagram! What did you find helpful in this episode, and what follow-up questions do you have?The full list of Resources & References Mentioned can be found on the Episode webpage at:https://nourishedtohealthy.com/ep-157

Danielle shares her own healing journey through chronic fatigue, stubborn weight gain, intense sugar cravings, food allergies, PCOS (diabetes of the ovaries) and hormonal chaos. Her story is not just one of resilience, but of radical re-alignment with nature's rhythms.Together, we explore why so many modern health issues aren't caused by a “broken” body, but by a body that's out of sync — disconnected from light, nature, and the signals it was designed to respond to. Danielle explains how grounding, morning sun, and seasonal eating can dramatically shift your energy, mood, and metabolism. We also unpack why sunlight is far more than just a source of vitamin D — it's information for your biology, influencing everything from blood sugar stability to sleep quality, hormone balance, and mitochondrial health.We even touch on the fascinating role of deuterium — a heavy form of hydrogen that, when elevated in the body, can clog up our mitochondria and slow down energy production. Danielle breaks down how light, hydration, and lifestyle choices can naturally help deplete excess deuterium and support better cellular function.Learn how understanding your Fitzpatrick skin type can help guide safe sun exposure and optimize vitamin D production without causing damage — reminding us that bioindividuality matters, even when it comes to sunlight.This is a conversation about real healing — not through restriction or control, but by reconnecting with the natural cues your body is waiting for. Danielle offers practical, no-cost tools and circadian strategies that anyone can begin today to start feeling more energized, balanced, and truly well.Tune in to discover why your body isn't necessarily broken — it's just out of rhythm.

The "STRIP Method" (Savings, Total debt, Retirement, Invest, Plan) provides a comprehensive approach to personal finance management. Smart Money Habits With Kids and Family: Involve teens in budgeting, investing basics, and college savings (e.g., 529 plans). Use allowances as teaching tools—split into Save/Spend/Give categories.

In this episode of the PCOS Repair Podcast, you'll discover how the neuroscience behind a growth mindset and intrinsic motivation directly impacts your ability to follow through on healthy habits. This topic goes beyond our usual conversations about nutrition or supplements, this is about what actually drives you to take action when managing PCOS starts to feel overwhelming. While the research article explored in this episode isn't specific to PCOS, its findings shed light on how your brain processes effort, setbacks, and progress, making it incredibly relevant to your journey with hormone balance and lifestyle changes.A Growth Mindset and Why It Matters for PCOSYou'll learn how a growth mindset, the belief that your skills and abilities can develop over time, can rewire how your brain responds to challenges. When things get hard, your brain can either shut down or shift into learning mode. In this episode, you'll hear how neuroscience studies show real, observable changes in the brain among those with a strong growth mindset, and how this sets the stage for building lasting habits that support hormone health and PCOS symptom improvement.Understanding Intrinsic Motivation and How to Spark ItThis episode also breaks down the role of intrinsic motivation, which is the internal drive to do something because it aligns with your goals, not because someone else told you to do it. You'll explore how intrinsic motivation is tied to your brain's reward system and why it's so essential for consistency in your health habits. When you choose a challenge that feels meaningful and achievable, your brain gives you a natural boost of dopamine, creating positive reinforcement that keeps you going. This is the kind of motivation that sustains long-term lifestyle changes, even when external results like weight loss or symptom relief take time.Creating Habits That Support Hormone Balance from the Inside OutAs you apply these neuroscience insights to your PCOS journey, you'll begin to see how small wins, like remembering to pack your gym bag or prepping meals ahead, become daily rewards that train your brain for long-term motivation. In this episode, you'll be encouraged to focus on process over perfection, celebrate the steps you're taking, and use your mindset as a tool to stay in tune with your body rather than getting discouraged by slow or fluctuating results.Rewiring Your Brain for Sustainable Health ChangesYou'll also learn how neuroplasticity, the brain's ability to change and grow—makes it possible to train yourself to stay motivated and resilient over time. Instead of viewing setbacks as failure, you'll start asking better questions and problem-solving with more confidence. This shift in how you think allows you to stay engaged in the process of healing and creates an upward spiral of progress that's sustainable and empoweringThis episode offers a new lens through which to view PCOS healing, not just as a checklist of things to do, but as an opportunity to grow into a healthier, more empowered version of yourself.You can take the quiz to discover your root cause hereThe Neuroscience of Growth Mindset and Intrinsic MotivationLet's continue the conversation on Instagram! What did you find helpful in this episode and what follow-up questions do you have?The full list of Resources & References Mentioned can be found on the Episode webpage at:https://nourishedtohealthy.com/ep-156

Meet Keri Croft, an infertility, child loss and surrogacy advocate who went through 16 years of infertility. On today's ep, Keri tells Ali all about her family building journey, which includes having her son, and also the devastating loss of her first girl, Angel, who was missing part of her cerebellum. "It was a horrible, horrible decision to have to make, and I wouldn't wish it on anybody," Keri says of undergoing a TFMR (Termination for Medical Reasons). Keri talks about how a balanced translocation affected their fertility journey, and also how she navigated IUI and IVF. "I tried everything. And of course that takes a toll on your marriage. It was an absolute clusterfuck," she says. Keri also shares how she lost two other girls, Hope and Jade, how she and her husband decided to pursue surrogacy, and launching her workshop, Find Your Dream Surrogate. "After years of fertility treatments, loss, and heartbreak, I eventually had my daughter via a surrogate — a journey I navigated completely independently, without an agency," Keri says. "It was beautiful and brutal and eye-opening in ways I never expected. When it was all said and done, I kept thinking: Why the hell isn't there a better roadmap for this? So I built one."For more, go to www.kericroft.comFollow on IG: @thekericroftshowTOPICS COVERED IN THIS EPISODE: Pregnancy; TFMR; trying to conceive; pregnancy loss; baby loss; IVF; IUI; balanced translocation; surrogacy; ART; EPISODE SPONSORS: BEAUTIFUL BIRD AND WORK OF ARTAli's Children's Book Series about IVF, IUI and Family Building Through Assisted Reproductive Technology https://www.infertileafgroup.com/booksThe latest book in the Work of ART series, “Beautiful Bird” tells the story of three parents, one incredible boy and a family built with love—and a little bit of science.Pre-orders are available now!

Today, Ali is talking to Zach and Alexandra French, the founders of the nonprofit organization The Surrogacy Foundation, whose mission "isn't just to raise funds, but to propel surrogacy into the mainstream." Zach and Alexandra share their entire family building story, from how they met and got together to having their first child without Assisted Reproductive Technology (ART). They talk about what happened when Alexandra found a lump in her breast, and how they navigated her cancer diagnosis and treatment. They also talk about Alexandra's double mastectomy, and how they pivoted to surrogacy after her surgery. "My doctor said if we wanted to expand our family, I could no longer carry. We would have to turn towards surrogacy--because if i carried another child, my cancer would return," Alexandra says. They talk about all of the intricacies of surrogacy, from finding a match to navigating the legal side, and share what it was like when their next baby was finally born. They also talk about creating the Surrogacy Foundation and how they've raised more than $500,000 so far to help families in need. "At The Surrogacy Foundation we don't just raise money; we help families every step of the way," they say. "Because education is essential to accessibility, we provide state of the art education based on decades of experience in an easy-to-use format."For more, go to www.thesurrogacyfoundation.orgFollow on IG: @thesurrogacyfoundation TOPICS COVERED IN THIS EPISODE: Breast cancer; chemotherapy; double mastectomy; trying to conceive; surrogacy; nonprofits; surrogacy grants; ARTEPISODE SPONSORS: BEAUTIFUL BIRD AND WORK OF ARTAli's Children's Book Series about IVF, IUI and Family Building Through Assisted Reproductive Technology https://www.infertileafgroup.com/booksThe latest book in the Work of ART series, “Beautiful Bird” tells the story of three parents, one incredible boy and a family built with love—and a little bit of science.Pre-orders are available now!

But did you know that when it comes to storing your reproductive tissue—including eggs, sperm, and embryos—you DO have a choice? Most clinics automatically store your tissues—or hand you off to their partner. But guess what? It doesn't have to be that way. Enter Generations CryoVault, which believes in the motto, "Your tissues. Your choice." When you choose to work with Generations CryoVault, they help you transfer your tissues securely and easily to their headquarters – a place you can trust. Take control of this part of your journey by visiting gencryo.com. And make sure to mention Infertile AF to receive 1 free month of storage.INITOwww.inito.comIG: @initofertiilityFor years, clinical labs were the only way to get a clear view of your hormone levels and ovulation patterns. But for many people in the trying to conceive community—especially those with hormone imbalances or conditions like PCOS—frequent lab visits can be costly, inconvenient, and take up a ton of time. This is why I'm excited to tell you about Inito, which is unlike anything else out there. Inito is an at-home fertility monitor that tracks all four key hormones—Estrogen, LH, FSH, and PdG—on a single test strip. Instead of piecing together fragments of info, Inito offers a full, clear picture of your hormone health through a data chart and clear insights that are unique to your body and your cycle.The Inito Starter Pack is available for just $89 with the code INFERTILEAF at inito.com.Advertising Inquiries: https://redcircle.com/brandsPrivacy & Opt-Out: https://redcircle.com/privacySupport this podcast at https://redcircle.com/infertile-af/donationsOur Sponsors:* Check out Happy Mammoth and use my code INFERTILEAF for a great deal: https://happymammoth.comSupport this podcast at — https://redcircle.com/infertile-af/donationsAdvertising Inquiries: https://redcircle.com/brandsPrivacy & Opt-Out: https://redcircle.com/privacy
