Dr. Kayla Smith is a holistic women's health expert who helps women uncover the root causes behind hormonal and reproductive health challenges.After receiving an unexplained infertility diagnosis at 36, she began exploring factors that conventional testing had overlooked—including being very thin and possibly experiencing hypothalamic amenorrhea. She later became pregnant twice and now uses both her personal experience and professional expertise to help women optimize their health and fertility.Listen in to hear Dr. Kayla Smith share:Why “unexplained infertility” often means the root cause simply hasn't been identified yetHer personal journey from an infertility diagnosis at 36 to becoming pregnant twiceHow thyroid function, hormone metabolism, adrenal stress patterns, and mineral status can affect fertilityWhat DUTCH testing and hair mineral analysis may reveal beyond conventional testingHow gut and vaginal microbiome imbalances—including issues affecting a partner—may influence conceptionCommonly overlooked basics like timing intercourse correctly, tracking ovulation, and evaluating luteal phase lengthWays to reduce inflammation through nutrition, cleaner products, stress reduction, and better sleepHow gratitude, visualization, and healthy circadian habits can support the fertility journeyWhy optimizing overall health may improve the chances of both natural conception and IVF successHow peptides and hormone replacement therapy may be used as additional toolsPerimenopause strategies, including eating more protein and prioritizing strength trainingDr. Smith's clinic, book, podcasts, and additional women's health resources+so much more!Connect with Lauren:Get my FREE PCOS Guide hereJoin the Empowered Path to Pregnancy hereInstagramWork With MeThank you so much for listening to the About Health and Hormones Podcast!

You finally crawl into bed after a long day, completely exhausted...And suddenly, you're wide awake.Or maybe you fall asleep easily, only to wake up at 2 or 3 a.m. and struggle to get back to sleep.If that sounds familiar, you're not alone—and hormones may be only one piece of the puzzle.In this episode, Janell explores why sleep challenges in midlife are often much more complex than we've been led to believe. While changing hormones can certainly influence sleep, your nervous system, blood sugar, digestion, daily rhythms, stress, and even unresolved emotions all play an important role in how well your body rests and recovers.In this episode, Janell discusses:Why being tired doesn't automatically mean your body is ready for sleepHow your nervous system can keep you awake long after the day is overThe connection between blood sugar and waking during the nightWhy meal timing and digestion influence sleep qualityWhat waking between 1–3 a.m. or 3–5 a.m. may indicateWhy sleep supplements don't always solve the problemSimple changes that can support deeper, more restorative sleepIf you've been trying all the usual sleep advice but still wake up feeling exhausted, this episode will help you understand the bigger picture and begin looking for patterns instead of quick fixes.Related EpisodesIf you enjoyed this conversation, you may also like:Why Your Hormone Symptoms May Not Start With Your HormonesWhy Nervous System Regulation Isn't Enough (What Most People Miss)Why You Still Feel Stressed Even When the Problem Is GoneThese episodes build on one another and explore how hormones, stress, the nervous system, and daily rhythms work together to influence your health.

You Don't Have a Metabolism Problem… You Have an Identity Problem“The Real Reason Nothing Has Stuck… And What Changes Now”You don't have a slow metabolism.You don't lack willpower.And you're not broken.You've just been operating from an identity that doesn't match the results you say you want.And until that changes… nothing else will.This is not another “get motivated” talk.This is a reality check.Because the truth is…Most people aren't stuck because they don't know what to do.They're stuck because their daily actions are still aligned with the person they USED to be… not the person they're trying to become.In this episode, Jay breaks down how your identity is driving your habits… and how your habits are shaping your metabolism.Every decision you make is a reflection of who you believe you are.What you eatWhether you moveHow you sleepHow you respond to stressNone of it is random.It's all aligned with your current identity.If your identity doesn't change… your results won't either.Your body responds to patterns, not intentions.Inconsistent nutrition = unstable blood sugarInconsistent sleep = hormonal disruptionInconsistent movement = stalled metabolismThis isn't bad luck.This is biology responding to your inputs.And inconsistent inputs will always produce inconsistent results.Most people don't actually believe this is going to work for them.Why?Because they've tried before.They've started strong… then fallen off.And now there's a quiet voice that says:“Yeah… but let's see how long this lasts.”That voice is what keeps people stuck.Not their metabolism.Motivation is unreliable.Confidence is not something you wait for.It's something you build.And the only way to build it is through action.Repeated, consistent action.This is where everything changes.For the next 7 days:Act like the version of you who already has this handled.Not perfectly. Intentionally.Lock in 3 non-negotiables:Protein-focused mealsDaily movementConsistent sleep scheduleNo overwhelm. No overthinking.Just execution.Stop asking:“Do I feel like doing this today?”Start asking:“What would the person I'm becoming do today?”Then go do that.Regardless of how you feel.When your actions change… your biology follows.Blood sugar stabilizesEnergy improvesCravings decreaseMetabolism begins working with you instead of against youThis is alignment.Not hacks. Not shortcuts.You're not stuck.You've just been practicing being the person you don't want to be.For the next 7 days… that changes.Pick your 3 non-negotiables.Commit to 7 days.And prove to yourself that this time is different… because YOU are different.If this episode hit you… share it with someone who needs to hear it.And remember:You don't get healthy because you lost weight.You lose weight because you got healthy.

Sleep Hypnosis to Stop Emotional Eating & Night CravingsWelcome to tonight's session. In this guided sleep hypnosis, we focus on breaking the automatic cycle of stress eating, late-night snacking, and sudden food urges while you drift into a deep, uninterrupted rest.During the day, stress, fatigue, or unexpressed emotions can often broadcast a form of internal "static" that feels remarkably like physical hunger. This session helps your deeper mind establish a quiet, automatic pause between the signal and the action. By learning to distinguish between true hunger and emotional static, you allow yourself the space to choose a healthier response effortlessly.What to expect in this episode:Gentle progressive relaxation to prepare your mind and body for sleepGuidance on identifying emotional static versus true physical hungerVisualization tools to open up new, supportive choices when cravings ariseA continuous transition into full, overnight sleepHow to listen:Settle into a comfortable position in bed where you can lie back undisturbed for the night. There is no need to try to stay focused, analyze the words, or remember anything. Simply allow your body to relax and let your mind drift off whenever it is ready.Note: Please ensure you are in a safe, comfortable environment and never listen to hypnosis tracks while driving or operating machinery.If you enjoyed this episode, please consider subscribing to the podcast and leaving a review to help others find these sessions.

If you're sleeping more, resting constantly, and still feeling exhausted, this episode will help you understand why fatigue in chronic illness often has very little to do with sleep alone.In this episode of Renegade Remission, we explore the deeper biological drivers of fatigue and why so many people continue feeling depleted even when they're doing everything they can to rest. You'll hear the story of pharmacist and Hashimoto's expert Izabella Wentz, who experienced profound exhaustion that did not improve with sleep or conventional treatment alone. As she began addressing inflammation, gut health, nutrient deficiencies, stress physiology, and blood sugar regulation, her energy gradually began to return.From there, we break down the science of how the body actually produces and regulates energy—including mitochondrial function, inflammation, nervous system load, blood sugar stability, and nutrient status.In this episode, you'll understand:Why fatigue during illness is often not caused by lack of sleepHow inflammation and immune activity drain energy at the cellular levelThe connection between stress physiology and energy crashesWhy blood sugar instability can worsen fatigue throughout the dayPractical ways to support energy production without forcing or overexerting yourselfListen now to understand what may really be driving your fatigue—and how to begin supporting your body's energy systems in a more effective and sustainable way.DISCLAIMERThis podcast is for educational purposes only and does not offer medical advice.

Sweet Dreams & the Elusive Nature of Sleep: How a Good Night's Rest Benefits Physical and Mental Health  If you're like us and have ever stared at the ceiling at 2 a.m. begging your body to go back to sleep,  this episode is for you. We're joined by Rachel Baumel, founder and CEO of Sleep Again Pillows, and author, songwriter and podcast host, Carrie Rowan, to unpack the elusive nature of sleep and why quality rest is one of the most powerful tools we have for physical and mental well-being. Sweet dreams aren't just a luxury—they're a necessity. Carrie Rowan, dubbed by her clients as the Professor of Happiness & Joy, is a transformational edutainer/speaker, a mindset strategist, award-winning singer/songwriter, and best-selling author. Blending the art of music with neuroscience, she inspires audiences to transcend limiting narratives and embrace joy as life's new anthem. Radio Show/Podcast Host of Look for the Good, with over 300k listeners, Carrie's work has been featured on CBS and NBC. After a decade-long corporate career, she now shines as a beacon of empowerment and joy in the personal development world. Rachel Baumel was diagnosed with breast cancer in 2017 and underwent four surgeries for breast cancer and ovary removal the next year. Following her double mastectomy, she created a pillow system to make herself more comfortable while sleeping on her back. She had to find pillows and put them together to make a comfy and cozy cocoon. Her husband called it the "life raft.” After lending her pillow system out to other women following their surgeries, she saw how others could benefit.  She and Kate Devlin founded Sleep Again Pillows in 2020 and have now helped thousands of people sleep and heal following surgery.   Find Yonni & Heather here https://www.herhealthcompass.com/

Sleep isn't optional, and it's not a luxury for “when life slows down.”In this episode of The Thick Thighs Save Lives Podcast, we sit down with neuroscientist and sleep researcher Dr. Chelsie Rohrscheib to unpack what actually happens in your brain and body when sleep gets pushed to the bottom of the priority list.We talk about why chronic exhaustion shows up as anxiety, brain fog, stalled weight loss, mood swings, and burnout, and why so many women are misdiagnosed or completely dismissed when the real issue is sleep quality.This conversation goes far beyond “get more rest.” We break down:How quickly sleep deprivation affects cognition and emotional regulationWhy REM and deep sleep are essential (and why your wearable isn't gospel)The myth of “functioning fine” on 4 hours of sleepHow exercise timing, cortisol, and nutrition directly impact sleepWhy crash dieting and poor sleep sabotage metabolismThe alarming link between sleep apnea, cardiovascular disease, cancer risk, and dementiaWhy sleep apnea is wildly underdiagnosed in women and childrenWhat to do if you're afraid of CPAPs (and why delaying treatment is far riskier)Perimenopause, night sweats, insomnia, and what actually helpsIf you've ever told yourself: “This is just how I am now”, or…”I'll sleep when things calm down”, this episode will change how you think about sleep forever.Dr. Chelsie Rohrscheib's Links: Wesper.co and email: chelsie@wesper.co(00:00:00) Introducing Dr. Chelsie Rohrscheib(00:03:13) Why we spend a third of our life asleep and signs to look for(00:07:58) How fast sleep deprivation affects the brain(00:13:30) Genetics and the 4 hr sleep club myth  (00:21:10) Wearables and deep sleep vs REM: what actually matters(00:29:12) Exercise timing, cortisol, and insomnia(00:34:45) Nutrition, blood sugar crashes, and waking up starving(00:40:48) Diet culture, sleep loss, and stalled metabolism(00:47:33) Sleep apnea: what's happening in your brain(00:57:29) Tips, tricks and treatment options beyond CPAPs(01:05:22) Rapid-fire sleep myths and advice(01:13:00) Where to find Dr. RohrscheibWant to leave the TTSL Podcast a voicemail?

Midlife fitness for women 45+ is not about trying harder—it's about training smarter for perimenopause and menopause physiology. In this powerhouse episode of Asking for a Friend, host Michele Folan sits down with Dr. Stacy Sims—exercise physiologist, TEDx speaker behind “Women Are Not Small Men,” and author of ROAR and Next Level—to break down exactly why your old workouts and “eat less, do more cardio” strategies stop working in midlife… and what to do instead.We get practical (and refreshingly no-BS) about the real midlife playbook:Why estrogen shifts change metabolism, muscle power, recovery, and body compositionWhy heavy lifting matters (and why it won't make you “bulky”)The difference between HIIT vs. Sprint Interval Training (SIT)—and why many “HIIT classes” aren't actually HIITWhere Zone 2 fits (and why it's great for mental health, but not your best lever for optimization)The truth about fasted workouts and intermittent fasting for women—and how it can backfire on appetite, cravings, energy, and sleepHow to think about protein needs in midlife (including the “1 gram per pound” conversation and how to distribute it)Why creatine is having a moment (brain, muscle, mood, performance, and aging)—and what dosing typically looks likeRecovery upgrades in perimenopause/menopause: sleep, mobility, heat/sauna (and why cold plunge isn't a one-size-fits-all tool for women)Why testing and metrics like DEXA (bone density + body comp) and VO2 max can be useful for longevity-focused womenIf you've been standing in your kitchen wondering where your “30-year-old metabolism” went—and why you can't out-discipline midlife hormones—this episode will give you clarity, strategy, and a realistic path forward.You can find her newsletter and blog at: https://www.drstacysims.com/ You can receive 15% off her online courses at https://www.drstacysims.com/product_guide using the code DRSTACYSIMS15OFFhttps://www.instagram.com/drstacysimshttps://www.youtube.com/channel/UCPD55VPa1ZWx1a_nzWC2VJA_________________________________________1:1 health and nutrition coaching or Faster Way - Reach me anytime at mailto:mfolanfasterway@gmail.com If you're doing “all the right things” and still feel stuck, it may be time to look deeper.

Kids say “I feel bad” all the time. But what does that actually mean for their brain and their behaviour? In this episode of Overpowering Emotions, Dr. Caroline breaks down how the brain builds emotions and why teaching kids to move from “I feel bad” to “I feel overwhelmed / uncertain / left out” is a game-changer for emotional regulation. Drawing on brain science and day-to-day stories from classrooms and families, she explains:· How the brain compresses huge amounts of sensory data into simple emotional categories· Why kids (and adults) often feel “angry” or “anxious” without knowing why· What “emotion granularity” is and how it gives kids more control over their reactions· The link between the body budget (sleep, hydration, exhaustion) and emotional meltdowns· Practical ways to help children notice body sensations and match them with accurate emotion words You'll hear simple tools you can use right away to build emotional literacy in homes, classrooms, and therapy sessions. Perfect for anyone who want science-based, relatable ways to help kids and teens understand what they're feeling and what to do about it.Free Resource (to help with homework below!): Emotional Literacy Workbook (https://korulearninginstitute.kit.com/emotionaliteracy)Homework IdeasDaily Emotion Check-Ins (Kids & Teens)Build short, regular emotion check-ins into the day—morning, midday, and evening at home; or every class / every hour at school.Ask: “How are you feeling right now?” then guide kids to move beyond “good/bad/mad” to a more specific word.“Where do you feel it in your body?” Build Emotion Vocabulary & GranularityUse the feelings wheel or emotion charts during the day when kids are calm, not only when they're upset.Play quick “name the feeling” games:“Pick one word from the wheel that matches how you felt at recess.” “Choose a word for how you feel before this test.” Body Mapping & Interoception PracticeDraw a simple outline of a body. Ask:“Where do you feel this emotion?”“What does it feel like there? Tight, heavy, buzzy, hot, cold?”Help kids link body cues to emotions and needs:“Heavy chest = overwhelmed?”“Jittery legs = excited or nervous?”Dr. Caroline's personal example from the episode:o A “crushing feeling” in her chest often signals overwhelm and too much on her plate.o A “breaking” feeling in her chest usually means exhaustion after very little sleep.o She then uses those cues to decide: “Do I need to reprioritize my day, or do I need to rest?” Body Budget Check Before jumping to “big emotion” explanations, check:Sleep: “How much did you sleep last night?”Hydration: “Have you had water today?”Food: “When was the last time you ate?”Load: “Is your day too full?”If a child says “I feel scared,” also scan for: Are they dehydrated? Exhausted? Hungry?Respond differently if the body budget is off (water, snack, rest, schedule changes) before jumping into problem-solving the situation. Adult Self-Practice: Modelling Emotion GranularityReplace “I'm just so stressed” with more precise language:“I feel overwhelmed because I have too much on my plate.”“I feel exhausted from not sleeping enough.”Say it out loud in front of kids so they see the full process: sensation → emotion word → action plan.· Turn Feelings into Action PlansOnce kids have named the emotion more clearly, ask about what they need. If they're unsure, help them brainstorm ideas:“If you feel left out, what might help? Inviting someone to play, talking to a teacher, or taking a break?”“If you feel overwhelmed, what do you need? Should we break this task into smaller steps?”Goal:o Move from broad “bad” to specific emotion + specific next step.o Repeat often enough that the brain learns this sequence as a habit.Enjoying the show?
