#163  - Do You Need An Oil Change? Udo Erasmus (from Udo's Choice) Says You Do. You've seen Udo's Choice supplements in virtually every health store —but do you know why these powerhouse oils are essential for your health (and why they're either making or breaking your health)?  In this episode of Pretty Well, I sit down with Udo Erasmus—founder of Udo's Choice oils, 40 year pioneer in the healthy oils movement, and author of Fats That Heal, Fats That Kill. Udo shares how modern food prep is silently fueling everything from chronic inflammation to hormone disruption to cancer development—and what to do instead. During our conversation, we talk about: the truth behind healthy fats; the oils that are powerfully wrecking your health; and why your body literally needs an oil change. We dive into omega-3s, omega-6s, and the nasty processing practices that turn "healthy" seed oils into full-blown poisons.  We also explore detox strategies, new biohacks to sweat out fat-soluble toxins, oil enemas (yep, you read that right), and how to stop frying your health—literally and figuratively. If you're worn out, achy, or wondering why your “healthy” diet still isn't working, this episode might be your wake-up call. Because the truth is: the right oils don't just support your wellbeing—they make it or break it, and in the meantime, help you to look and feel amazing, inside and out.

Dealing with fibroids and feeling stuck between surgery and suffering?You've tried to ignore it—the heavy periods, bloating, and pelvic pressure that make you dread your cycle. But deep down, you sense something isn't right, and the answers you've received so far? They don't seem to help.Maybe you've been offered birth control or an IUD, or even told that surgery is your only option. But no one has paused to ask why your body is developing fibroids in the first place or how your liver, gut, stress, and hormones are all linked in this.In this episode, I sit down with Dr. Luciana Silva, a naturopathic doctor who's just as passionate as I am about getting to the root of hormonal issues, especially fibroids. We break down what fibroids are, what causes them, and how to approach healing in a way that addresses the root.You'll learn:Why fibroids grow, and what your heavy bleeding is telling youWhat to consider before saying yes to surgery or hormonal IUDsNatural options for symptom relief and long-term healingIf you're tired of feeling dismissed, this episode will show you what's possible when you start addressing the deeper layers.Book a FREE Hormone Strategy Call with meCONNECT WITH DR.

#162  - 3 Year ANNIVERSARY EPISODE! Stop Blaming Your Age: Fix Your Hormones By Fixing Your Gut OR Can't Balance Your Hormones? Your Gut Might Be the Culprit (Here's How to Heal It) Having trouble balancing your hormones? You've probably heard that hormones run the show—but what if your gut is the one actually calling the shots? In this special Pretty Well anniversary episode, I'm pulling back the curtain on how gut health holds the keys to hormonal balance, energy, metabolism, and all of your anti-aging efforts. We'll dive into the estrobolome (your gut's hidden estrogen manager), the gut-thyroid connection, and how leaky gut quietly sabotages your hormones and leaves you wondering why "doing everything right" still isn't working. You'll learn how chronic inflammation, microbiome diversity, stress, and gut permeability directly impact everything from perimenopause symptoms to thyroid function. And no—you don't need a cabinet full of supplements or to live on a diet of chia seeds (unless you're into that). If you're ready for real strategies to heal your gut, balance your hormones, and actually feel human again, this episode is your roadmap. Because it's not just your hormones that need fixing—it's the whole communication network. Let's fix the signal, shall we?

Have you ever been told your heavy bleeding, mood swings, acne, or exhaustion are just part of having a period?But deep down, you know something's off. And you're right!Many of us have been gaslit by doctors, by friends, even our own mothers, into believing that pain, fatigue, bloating, and mood swings are simply the price we pay for being a woman.

#161  - Burned Out and Still Saying Yes? This Popular Therapist Explains Why You Can't Stop People-Pleasing. Interview with Kendra Nielson from Fulfillment Therapy What if your burnout isn't about doing too much—but about doing too much for everyone else? In this episode of Pretty Well, I sit down with licensed therapist and Fulfillment Therapy founder Kendra Nielson to talk about what's really driving burnout, anxiety, people-pleasing, and that constant low-key sense of resentment (Spoiler: it's probably not just your schedule—it's your boundaries. There, I said it.)  Kendra shares how trauma, perfectionism, and limiting beliefs can keep us stuck in survival mode, and how starting where you are today can lead to massive life transformation. Small, intentional mindset shifts are the key to creating the life you want. If you find yourself continually running on empty, this is what you need more than a bubble bath or a massage (although let's be honest, we're not turning those down either). We also dig into self-advocacy, mantras, burnout recovery, and why your inability to say no isn't “just how you're wired”—it's something you can absolutely change. If you've ever said “I don't have time for self-care” while holding your fourth cup of coffee and solving everyone else's problems, this one's for you.   LInks & Resources: Website: https://fulfillmenttherapy.org/  Social:  https://www.instagram.com/fulfillmenttherapy/ https://www.facebook.com/profile.php?id=100088460742483 https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCgkWZyjc6_Q4DsXxS0-sD8g Email: hello@fulfillmenttherapy.org Join the conversation: Share your thoughts with us on social media or in the comments!

#159 - Can You Really Get Rid of Cellulite Naturally? These 5 Natural Fixes Actually Work Cellulite: it's not dangerous, but it's definitely frustrating—and it's not just about age, weight, or genetics. In this episode of Pretty Well, we're breaking down what cellulite really is (hint: it's more about collagen, detoxification, and circulation than you think) and what you can actually do to reduce its appearance—no overpriced creams or painful liposuction packages required.  We'll talk about the root causes from a functional medicine lens, including inflammation, lymphatic stagnation, hormonal shifts, and nutrient deficiencies, plus how to support your skin from the inside out. You'll learn how to improve collagen integrity, support detox pathways, and why **HIIT workouts, hydration, dry skin brushing, and specific supplements** can make a real difference. And, I'm sharing my favorite anti-cellulite supplement with you - the one I personally use. Let me tell you, they're not all created equal. And no, you don't need to survive on celery juice or invest in cryotherapy leggings. Just strategic, sustainable changes that actually work.

#157  - Is It Really Just “Normal Aging”? The Hidden Hormonal Imbalances Wrecking Your Energy, Weight, & Youthfulness with Dr Prudence Hall   Ever been told that your weight gain, brain fog, and exhaustion are just “part of getting older”? Yeah, no. In this episode, I sit down with renowned hormone expert Dr. Prudence Hall to talk about why so many women are struggling through perimenopause and menopause—and why it doesn't have to be that way.   Dr. Hall, a gynecological surgeon turned regenerative and functional medicine expert, shares the biggest myths about midlife and menopause, the truth about bioidentical hormones, and why so many women in perimenopause and menopause are failed by conventional medicine. We dive into hormonal imbalances, how they affect weight, sleep, mood, beauty, and energy, and—most importantly—how to rebalance your body so you can look and feel amazing again.   If you're tired of being told “it's just aging,” this episode will change everything.  

Welcome back to Day 2 of the Hormone Real Talk Bootcamp! If you've ever wondered why your energy is up and down and if your stress is REALLY affecting you negatively...this one is for you!In this episode, I'm sharing the link between low energy and hormone imbalances: stress. Chronic stress puts the body in "survival mode" where it prioritizes stress hormones over sex hormones, leading to issues like low progesterone. Blood sugar imbalance can also trigger cortisol spikes and leave us feeling drained.The good news is nourishment can help reset this cycle.

Ever take ashwagandha to "fix" your stress, only to end up feeling just as exhausted (and maybe even worse hormonally)?

We're overfed, but undernourished. Despite having access to more food than ever, most people are walking around with nutrient deficiencies that could be accelerating aging, increasing disease risk, and depleting energy levels. That's why I sat down with Dr. Rhonda Patrick, a leading expert in nutritional science and aging, to break down what we're missing—and why it matters. In this episode of The Dr. Hyman Show, we explore: Why nearly 70% of Americans are deficient in vitamin D and what that means for longevity. The overlooked role of magnesium in metabolism, blood sugar, and brain function. Why our food system leaves us malnourished—even if we eat a “healthy” diet. The best way to assess and correct micronutrient imbalances for optimal health. Your body can't function properly without the right nutrients. This episode will show you how to fill the gaps and take control of your health.

Yeah…we talk about that too.Tune in for some myth-busting, mindset shifts, and actionable tips to support your body's natural ability to heal.

It's kind of fascinating...I think that we might have a tuneup where we go and get rejuvenated." - Dr. Rhonda PatrickImagine a future where we could reset our biological clock, turning back aging at the cellular level. Dr. Rhonda Patrick takes us on a mind-blowing journey through cutting-edge longevity research, explaining how scientists have discovered ways to reprogram old cells into youthful ones with no signs of aging. She breaks down Nobel Prize-winning research on the Yamanaka factors—four special genes that can transform an 80-year-old skin cell into an embryonic stem cell, effectively erasing all signs of aging and allowing that cell to become any cell type in the body.The conversation ventures into the exciting field of partial cellular reprogramming, where scientists are finding ways to rejuvenate cells without completely changing their identity. Dr. Patrick shares insights about groundbreaking work at Altos Labs, where top scientists like Dr. Steve Horvath (pioneer of epigenetic clocks that measure biological age) are tackling the hurdles that stand between us and potential age reversal. With the exponential growth in synthetic biology and gene engineering, Patrick believes we could be just a couple of decades away from treatments that might reverse our biological age by ten years or more.Sign up for the Greatness newsletter: http://www.greatness.com/newsletter

In this eye-opening conversation, I bring together three brilliant female doctors who are revolutionizing women's health from different angles. Dr. Mary Claire Haver exposes how women were excluded from medical studies until 1993, sharing her personal menopause journey alongside scientific insights. Dr. Rhonda Patrick challenges conventional aging theories with her groundbreaking research suggesting aging might be a reprogrammable process controlled by our epigenetics. Meanwhile, Dr. Caroline Leaf transforms our understanding of mental health with her powerful neurocycle method that produced an 81% improvement in anxiety and depression symptoms. This episode delivers essential wisdom for anyone looking to understand women's unique health journeys and provides actionable strategies for optimizing physical and mental wellbeing at any age.In this episode you will learn:Why treatments for women are often based on studies of men, and how this leads to inappropriate care for conditions like high cholesterol and heart disease The surprising truth about hormone replacement therapy and why only 4-6% of menopausal women receive it despite its benefits How men can effectively support partners going through menopause by educating themselves and attending doctor appointments A revolutionary insight that aging may be a programmable process controlled by epigenetics rather than accumulated damageThe three supplements to prioritize if limited to only a fewThe powerful five-step "neurocycle" process that can reduce anxiety and depression symptoms by up to 81%Why labeling mental health challenges as "diseases" can be harmful and how to reframe your experienceHow to break the cycle of fight-or-flight responses during acute stress using mindful awareness techniques For more information go to https://www.lewishowes.com/1742For more Greatness text PODCAST to +1 (614) 350-3960More SOG episodes we think you'll love:Dr. Mary Claire Haver – greatness.lnk.to/1641SCDr. Rhonda Patrick  – greatness.lnk.to/1707SCDr. Caroline Leaf – greatness.lnk.to/1079SC Get more from Lewis!
