Hi friends, and welcome to a very special episode of the podcast! If you've been with me for a while, you know this show has always been about supporting women in their health journeys. Today, I'm excited to announce a big change: our podcast is rebranding as Catholic Women's Metabolism. This new name reflects exactly who we serve—Catholic women in their 30s and 40s navigating metabolism, hormones, and weight changes—and the evidence-based, clinically grounded education you'll hear in every episode. You may be wondering why the change. Over the last five years, I've realized that my listeners need more than general health tips—they need science-backed information, personalized for midlife women, delivered in a way that respects Catholic teaching on the body and moral health. So, everything you've loved about this show—honest discussion, practical insights, and compassionate guidance—remains, but now the focus is sharper: helping you understand your metabolism, your hormones, and your health through a faith-aligned and clinically informed lens. For those who may be new here, I'm Kristen Noriega, a Registered Dietitian and Integrative & Functional Nutrition–Certified Practitioner. I've worked with hundreds of women to understand the physiology behind weight gain, fatigue, insulin resistance, thyroid function, and perimenopause, and now I get to bring that expertise to you, right here in this podcast. This show has also been recognized as a Top 100 podcast and independently named one of the Top 15 Catholic podcasts, which is truly an honor. I'm grateful for this community of women seeking clarity and health stewardship in alignment with their faith. Moving forward, you can expect episodes that are: •Educational and evidence-based, exploring metabolism, hormones, and weight regulation •Faith-aligned, grounded in Catholic teaching about the body as a gift to steward •Practical, with lifestyle strategies rooted in science, not extreme dieting or quick fixes. Each episode will help you understand your body better, improve metabolic resilience, and feel confident in caring for your health in a sustainable, ethical way. So here's what I'd love for you to do: 1. SUBSCRIBE to the newly rebranded Catholic Women's Metabolism wherever you listen to podcasts. 2. SHARE this episode with a friend or sister who might benefit from understanding their metabolism and hormones. 3. FOLLOW along on Instagram www.instagram.com/weightloss.wellmom 4. Grab this free gift that I put together for you: (check back tomorrow!) Thank you for being part of this community. I'm so excited for this next chapter, and I can't wait to help you understand your metabolism, steward your health, and embrace the body God gave you with confidence and clarity. Let's do this!

While ProLon is often viewed as a “fasting product,” Ashley reframes it as a nourishing technology designed to deliver the benefits of prolonged fasting—without the risks of complete food deprivation.Brad and Ashley break down what the Fast Mimicking Diet actually is: a precisely formulated 5-day program that provides real food—soups, bars, olives, teas, and healthy fats—while keeping the body in a fasting state. The conversation explores how the FMD supports autophagy, cellular cleanup, metabolic flexibility, and insulin sensitivity, while also offering muscle protection, a major concern for adults over 40.Brad shares his personal experience with water fasting, intermittent fasting, and ProLon, comparing fat loss, insulin control, ketosis depth, and autophagy. Ashley explains why ProLon is structured for five days, how autophagy ramps up around day three, and why day six refeeding with high-quality whole foods is just as critical as the fast itself.They also discuss:The role of fasting in reducing inflammation, improving lipid panels, liver health, insulin resistance, and even taste and smell sensitivityHow ProLon supports muscle preservation through targeted nutrients like glycerolWhy fasting is a positive, hormetic stress similar to exerciseThe importance of metabolic flexibility and why fasting gets easier over timeHow continuous glucose monitors (CGMs) can provide personalized insight into food responsesThe growing acceptance of fasting and food-as-medicine in mainstream healthcare, including L-Nutra's recent recognition by the American Diabetes Association for improvements in A1C and medication reductionAshley also highlights additional L-Nutra products, including vegan protein shakes and bars that support muscle without triggering aging pathways, as well as one-day fasting resets for beginners.If you're interested in online personal training or being a guest on my podcast, "Over 40 Fitness Hacks," you can reach me at brad@over40fitnesshacks.com or visit my website at:www.Over40FitnessHacks.comAdditionally, check out my Yelp reviews for my local business, Evolve Gym in Huntington Beach, at https://bit.ly/3GCKRzV

#291: Feeling overwhelmed by meal prep? This episode breaks down exactly how to get started with PCOS-friendly meal prepping, without the stress or spending hours in the kitchen. Why meal prepping matters for PCOS: Your body is extra sensitive to blood sugar swings and inflammatory foods. Skipping meals or under-eating spikes cortisol, which worsens insulin resistance, inflammation, and cravings. Meal prep eliminates decision fatigue and reduces the daily stress that impacts your hormones. What PCOS meal prepping looks like: Low-effort, repeatable recipes that you actually want to eat—gluten-free, dairy-free, low sugar, high protein meals following the PCOS plate method. Beginner tips: Start small with just 1–2 recipes per week (like prepping only breakfast) and choose simple, quick recipes. Ready to take meal prep to the next level?

"We want to change our expectation that we will never, ever think of food as numbers or calories ever again... because that's pretty unrealistic for most people."Ever notice how the same food questions keep popping up no matter where you are in your healing journey? In this episode, I'm answering three of the most common ones I hear - how to move away from seeing food as numbers, why some foods feel harder to trust yourself around, and what it was really like for me to stop weighing myself. I'm sharing insight from both my work as a dietitian and my own recovery to help you understand what's actually happening beneath these struggles, set more realistic expectations for your intuitive eating journey, and walk away with a few practical steps you can try today.✅ What You'll Learn:Why letting go of calorie counting takes time, and how to stop seeing food as numbersWhat makes certain binge foods harder to make peace with (and what to do about it)How fear plays a role when you consider stopping weighing yourselfThe big-picture mindset shift that helps you loosen the grip of old diet rulesHow to build more trust with your body as you move toward a peaceful, sustainable relationship with foodWhy these challenges are normal on an intuitive eating journey, and how to set realistic expectations for yourself

This week wraps up our two-part deep dive into one of nutrition's most talked-about controversies: the idea that “Big Sugar” reshaped health policy, redirected blame toward dietary fat, and helped create the low-fat food era many of us grew up in.

They discuss how the program connects farmers, gardeners, markets, and local feeding partners to reduce landfill waste and increase availability to nutritious food. The episode outlines WiN-WiN's local partners — including Revived Life House, the Man of Meals program at Nicholasville Methodist Church, the Jesmond County Food Pantry, the Kentucky United Methodist Children's independent living program, and Bethel Harvest — and explains the program's focus on logistics, food safety, recipes, toolkits, and training to help organizations use and preserve donated foods. Listeners also hear national food-waste facts, practical tips to reduce waste at home (meal planning, proper storage, using “ugly” produce, freezing, and repurposing leftovers), and ways to get involved: donate produce, volunteer with transport or partner organizations, and access WiN-WiN resources online and on social media.

You spoke, and we listened. After our last episode with registered dietitian Kim Shapira, my DMs were filled with thoughtful questions, concerns, and requests for clarification. Some of you were curious, some were skeptical, and honestly? I love that. Because that's exactly why I asked Kim to come back.In this follow-up conversation, Kim answers your most pressing questions with science-backed honesty. We're diving deep into the topics that sparked the most conversation: seed oils, parasite cleanses, food sensitivities versus allergies, and what to do when you're genuinely struggling with food addiction or binge eating.What I appreciate most about Kim is that she doesn't tell you what to think but she explains the why behind it. She's a friend, but more importantly, she's someone who stands behind what she says with research, experience, and a genuine desire to help people heal their relationship with food and their bodies.Connect with Kim Shapira:Website: https://www.kimshapiramethod.com/Book: This Is What You're Really Hungry ForInstagram: https://www.instagram.com/kimshapiramethod/Resources mentioned:EverlyWell food sensitivity testingConnect with Sabrina:https://www.instagram.com/Sabrina_Soto/www.SabrinaSoto.com
