I am so excited to bring you this incredible conversation with Robyn Youkilis. If you've been following along, you know we're diving into a series I've lovingly dubbed the "Mommy Olympics"—a reflection on the pressures of modern motherhood. Is it a race to win gold, or is it more of a team sport where we all win by showing up authentically?In this episode, I sit down with Robyn, a wellness entrepreneur, bestselling author, and intuitive guide who has been transforming lives for over 15 years. Robyn's approach to health, parenting, and self-love is a breath of fresh air in a world that often glorifies overextension and martyrdom.We dig deep into her journey from maiden to motherhood, her philosophy on “mothering without martyring,” and how she's rewritten the rules for herself, her kids, and her thriving business. Robyn's wisdom about embracing the seasons of life, setting boundaries, and staying true to yourself left me inspired and, frankly, ready to let go of some things I've been holding onto.This conversation is packed with relatable moments, actionable tips, and so much heart. Whether you're navigating the chaos of motherhood, building a business, or just trying to stay grounded, this episode will leave you feeling seen, supported, and maybe even a little lighter. Key TakeawaysHonor Life's Seasons: Motherhood, work, and life all have cycles. Embrace where you are now instead of trying to do it all.Prioritize Yourself: Taking care of yourself isn't selfish—it helps everyone around you. Start with small, intentional “me time.”Simplify Meal Prep: Use pockets of time to prep basics like grains or veggies and focus on “good enough” meals rather than perfection.Let Things Go: If you haven't tackled a task in two weeks, delegate it or let it go—it's not worth the stress.Be Present: Even 20 minutes of undivided attention with your kids can create deep connection and joy.Use code MOMMYOLYMPICS to receive Robyn's Guided Grounding Meditation bundle for free!Connect with Robyn YoukilisWebsite: Yourhealthiestyou.com - Learn more about Robyn's programs and read her blogsRobynYoukilis.com – Explore her speaking events, and guided meditations.Social Media: Follow Robyn on Instagram @robynyoukilis for daily inspiration, recipes, and wellness tips.Books: Check out her bestsellers Go With Your Gut and Thin From Within.Mentioned in This EpisodePrograms: Hot Mama, Your Healthiest YouWellness Insights: The RIE Method, Ayurvedic approaches to seasonal eatingUpcoming Events: Robyn's speaking engagements and retreats—stay tuned on her website!

Happy Workout Wednesday! Renaldo and Bernadette are doing great and are ready to get their days started! Bernadette made a delicious dish last night and is still so excited about that! Bernadette and team OLR are so excited for today's guests. Its workout Wednesday! We are into fitness... fitness this whole pizza in our mouth! Let's get this show started with our guests, Dr. Denis Wilson and Robyn Youkilis. Dr. Denis Wilson and Allison Roberts Today we welcome Dr. Denis Wilson to One Life Radio! Dr. Wilson has spent 30 years of his medical career focusing on body temperature and human metabolism. Over the past three decades, he has trained thousands of doctors on his methods, revolutionizing the way doctors diagnose and treat thyroid symptoms and metabolic disorders. Along with his daughter Allison, they founded Fastercise, a fitness program that uses medical-based research to help with weight management. Fastercise Fastercise is a fitness program that works when nothing else does! It allows you to eat less but not feel hunger! A day of fastercise is a day filled with waves of hunger. People typically get hungry morning, noon, night. Before eating your first meal, do one minute of "shivering" exercise. Your hunger will actually go away for two hours after you shiver! To shiver, just shake your legs and arms back and forth an inch in either directions. Even just laying down on your bed and shivering can stop hunger! Dr. Denis has noticed that children with autism spectrum disorder sometimes shiver or shake to their advantage! Shivering can give you energy. Shivering can be a great addiction to whatever exercise routine you already follow, or according to Dr. Denis, you can replace your workouts with fastercising completely! Allison had just had her baby and was 30 pounds heavier when she started fastercise. Filled with stress, Allison gave her Dad's fitness program a try. She lost the weight in 3 months! Just 8 months after having her baby, Allison entered a fitness competition and played high! Fastercise works! Tightening also works as a way to curb hunger. With shivering and tightening your muscles, hunger is canceled! The way you can think of it is the way a syphon works. One end has water and the other has an end that draws water. So with fastercise, your re creating a huge draw on your energy reserve, You are basically telling the body you are needing tons of energy When shivering and tightening, your energy need goes up 120 fold! Timing is important, you won't start burning fat until you are hungry. Wait to fastercise until you are hungry. A good time to tighten your muscles is after you've eaten. Fasting helps you rebuild your mitochondria, which is crucial for your brain. Fasting increasing longevity and brain function.

That power of intuition we all have can also apply in eating intuitively to heal our gut and improve our digestive health. To explain how we can develop our intuition towards making the right food choices, my guest, Author of Thin From Within and The Go with Your Gut Way to Lose Weight, Robyn Youkilis will dive into that and more in this episode. Ideal Figure Robyn Youkilis’ journey began when she was just 13 years old. It was a time when her body started to have a defined shape. Hence, she started getting conscious especially because magazines featured women who supposedly had the ideal form. It ended up that Robyn Youkilis thought there was something wrong with her body and that she needed to fix her body. Because of this, she started looking into the diet culture. “At the same time, my mother was always an incredible cook, whipping up wonderful dishes. So, I always had a deep love and appreciation for food. However, it also led to the torment,” recalls Robyn Youkilis. It eventually confused Robyn Youkilis through her teenage years until her 20s. But when she started dating her then boyfriend who is now her husband, Robyn Youkilis learned how to buy her food at the Farmer’s Market. Turning Points Another turning point was when Robyn Youkilis went to the Institute of Integrative Nutrition. She enrolled in the school as she started getting into cooking more for herself and her boyfriend. It was here when Robyn Youkilis made the connection between how she ate and how it was making her feel. But the real turning point was when Robyn Youkilis and her husband talked about starting a family. Little by little, she shed more of that obsession and more of that unhealthy view of self. Robyn Youkilis eventually brought in more nourishing food, cooking for herself and connecting to who she already was. Create Your Space Robyn Youkilis’ job as a health practitioner and an individual is to create a little space. She advises people to create some support and some lightness around showing up for yourself in that change. “Create a space so you can have this consistent conversation with yourself. When you have these little turning points along the way, they can serve you instead of taking you down,” Robyn Youkilis said. She adds, “Everyone deserves to feel amazing in their body. And your body wants that for you. No matter what you feed it, your body will digest it for you. We can’t have our focus on so many different things. You have to think about it and feel it as well.” Listening To Your Intuition First, Robyn Youkilis says we must understand that it’s going to be a winding path and it may take some time. She usually likes to teach this practice to clients where you put one hand on your lower abdominal wall and let that go. “A lot of us spend a lot of our day sucking it in, especially women. And it’s really about giving yourself a moment to breathe into that space. At that point, ask yourself what would make you feel most supported,” said Robyn Youkilis.  She adds, “You have the answer already. Often, we’ll hear a little helpful voice from our intuition.”  Robyn Youkilis says journaling is also good because it means your thoughts have space and they feel valid. You may not do anything with those thoughts. But just having a place for that helps, rather than turning to food to experience comfort, space or a place. “In learning to listen to your intuition, you would learn to figure out what feels more supportive in a given situation,” Robyn Youkilis said. “For example, having a grounding practice like taking a bath when you go home for the day can help you feel supported instead of turning to food.” Understanding Your Cravings According to Robyn Youkilis, a healthy craving feels like it’s something nice to have. And a craving that you might want to gather a little more information on is one that feels like you have to have it. There might be a nutritional deficiency going on there, or it might be something around your day. Ultimately, Robyn Youkilis says it takes little moments from our day where we can start to have that conversation more deeply with ourselves. Eating Using Intuition Robyn Youkilis loves all kinds of food. But it doesn’t have a grip on her because she says her diet now is much more supportive of her gut and her body. “Focus on the gut because that is the center of your body. Our digestive system is responsible for so many things on even more than just digesting food,” explains Robyn Youkilis. Having A Healthy Gut A healthy gut better absorbs the nutrients from the food you’re eating. Robyn Youkilis believes you get more out of what you’re consuming. You’re going to feel better from that food. A healthy gut also means a happier you because 90% of our serotonin is produced in your gut. And 80% of our immune tissue is in our gut. “Aside from the mental conversation going on, there’s a lot at play. Something that may serve you this month may be different next month,” said Robyn Youkilis. “So, know that there’s never going to be the one thing that’s going to fix all the things. It’s always going to be a lot of parts of this conversation.” To have a healthy digestive system, Robyn Youkilis also reveals that it is ideal for releasing waste at least once a day.  She recommends a huge glass of water first thing in the morning and gives your system a chance to flush itself out. For others, it may be a dehydration issue for our colon. Importance Of Hydration Juicing organic celery first thing in the morning is quite trendy. Robyn Youkilis says there are some medicinal benefits, but she believes that part of the reason why it’s working so well for so many people is that it’s hydrating their body on a cellular level. Robyn Youkilis says adding chia seeds to water is also helpful. Chia seeds act as a lubricant and essentially allow your organs and the cells of your body to integrate the hydration into your body. A pinch of Himalayan sea salt or lemon water can also help with hydration. “The ultimate goal is to connect to our intuition more so that we can digest not just our food, but we can digest our lives,” said Robyn Youkilis. Importance Of Chewing Robyn Youkilis stresses that another important thing is how you chew your food. Take time to eat your food well. It’s a miracle worker. “The science behind that is because our stomach does not have teeth. It wasn’t designed to break down whole chunks of food the way we usually do it,” Robyn Youkilis explained.  Robyn Youkilis also says some foods are harder to digest like nuts, dried fruit or some leafy greens. That’s why raw, dense, leafy greens are going to cause a little bit of bloating or stomach upset. Red meat is also hard to break down. Meal Prep Meal prep for Robyn Youkilis means making some basics ahead of time. A lot of people take this further and meal prep specific meals. But in Robyn Youkilis’ book, she teaches readers first to boil an egg and roast two trays of vegetables. “Prep your greens and keep in the fridge, ready to go. Once you have done these basic items, I also talk about a power parfait in the book. It’s like an amped up yogurt bowl so that you feel full longer,” said Robyn Youkilis. Robyn Youkilis does meal preps for the week, and when it’s time to put it together, she will use a basic template. The Rule of Five Plates is part of what she teaches in her book. “I would have the power parfait in the morning, mix and match based on this little light template for lunch. Dinner will be some prepped things. Keep it simple and get real with your meal prep. It’s about having these staples ready in the fridge,” advises Robyn Youkilis. For me, the Panasonic infrared oven significantly made meal prep easier. The oven heats things fast like two to three minutes. I use glass containers without the lid. It heats up way more than a microwave would, so you have to use a mitt. Rule Of Five Plates Robyn Youkilis has a meal prep class showing how she meal preps and walks you through it. She does the templates from the Rule of Five Plates mostly for lunches. One template is greens. Raw or steamed is fine. Mix up the greens. The next template is healthy fats like avocados, olive oil, butter, coconut oil or some good healthy fat. Sliced almonds or goat cheese is also good. The third template is protein. Wild salmon, grass-fed beef, organic chicken, lentils, trout, sardines, smoked mussels are sustainable options. Know what you have and know what your resources are. Number four is fermented foods. That is where the gut health comes in, and it’s going to be the food that helps you digest the other foods better. Fermented foods can be raw fermented sauerkraut, fermented carrots, radishes or kimchi. “I have some recipes in the book that’s easy to do. Fermented food is rich in live probiotic bacteria which will feed on the good bacteria in your gut and create a happy, healthy microbiome,” Robyn Youkilis said. The last template is a cooked vegetable. This is where the meal prep comes back into play. It could be anything from cubed sweet potatoes, roasted zucchini or roasted carrots. Ultimately, you can do so many different things using the templates. “For dinner, you can have a bean pasta with some tuna and kale. And then I would eat some of my fermented radishes on the side,” said Robyn Youkilis. “I’m always thinking more greens, healthy fats and fermented food. Also, know when you need new inspiration to shift things up.” She adds, “I don’t want you to feel bad about what you’re doing or not doing. You got this. Life is always changing, but you can do it. You are designed to thrive, heal and to feel good.” Bio Robyn Youkilis is changing the way thousands of women and men around the world relate with food, and she’s redefining what it means to eat and be healthy.  Robyn Youkilis is a Certified Wellness Expert, TV personality, and author.

Poor gut health stalls fat loss, creates hormonal havoc, leaves you feeling exhausted and zaps your overall health. Health coach and author, Robyn Youkilis gives us hands-on, easy-to-implement strategies to restore our gut and become abundantly healthy.

Robyn Youkilis, a certified wellness expert, author of the best-selling book Go with Your Gut, and leading authority on gut health and weight loss.  Robyn’s new book which we talk about on this episode, Thin From Within - The Go with Your Gut Way to Lose Weight is part coaching guide and part cookbook, with 75 delicious recipes, to help readers optimize their digestion and shed weight from the inside out. Robyn teaches you how to feel comfortable, confident and energized in their bodies, and how stubborn weight can melt away when they learn to tune into their gut. Robyn has been featured on Today Show, The Cooking Channel, CBS News, and many more media outlets. Can you talk a little about your book? What is it about? Her aim of writing book was to make people passionate about making changes in their lives. She wanted people to have a conversation around the word ‘thin’ in a new way. She aims to promote self-love through her book. She has not used the word ‘thin’ in reference to a body type but because we have just developed an ideal with the word ‘thin’. She wanted to connect with women who were still chasing this ideal consciously or sub-consciously. She does not talk about weight in terms of the number on a scale but more of what it is an individual is chasing. According to Robyn, a desire to lose weight means we want something different in our bodies and something different in our lives. She talks about meal preparation and food recipes in the book that can help you lose weight. Can you tell us about the benefits of fermented foods? Fermented foods are typically raw and have some pro-biotic nature in them. Fermented foods are good for your microbiome. A microbiome is a bacterium that resides in and on your body. It is responsible for a number of body processes that help our body run and function properly. What was one of your first jobs? The first job she had was when she was in high school. She was a ski instructor and rock-climbing instructor. She also worked as a babysitter while in high school. How did you get into health coaching? Robyn says she did not follow traditional route to becoming a health coach. It was not something she wanted to do from her childhood. She was doing odd jobs before going into college and she was also interested in acting. She did musicals as a kid and loved theater as well. However, she opted for international law in college mainly because she always had an eye for atrocities and wanted to help people around the globe. Later, she worked for UN for some time and in local non-profits doing criminal court work. She eventually found her way to Los Angeles and did small acting gigs over there. She started to get into cooking and food. She came across this nutrition school, The Institute for Integrative Nutrition which is considered as the world’s largest nutrition school. She enrolled in one of their programs and graduated as a certified health coach. She opened up a health coaching practice after she graduated. It has been nine years and Robyn has not looked back. Did you ever think you would write a book? Robyn says she was never a good writer. She recalls her time in high school when her best friend used to help her in work that involved any sort of writing. Robyn says writing books was something that really happened on its own once she started to list down all the things she was offering to her clients in her programs. How did you end up getting a book deal? Alex Jamieson, a famous food chef and health counselor who also happens to be Robyn’s friend invited her to a conference. Alex introduced Robyn to a literary agent over there and told the agent about Robyn’s work. That agent helped Robyn create her proposals for different publishers. Robyn eventually got a book deal with a publisher through her agent and was able to publish both her books through the same publisher. What failure later became a success in your work? She was very hesitant in doing group coaching programs in the first five years of her practice. Initially, she tried group coaching programs but was not very successful in it as only one or two people would sign for it. She decided to drop this idea of group coaching and went solo coaching for the next few years. Eventually, she launched her first successful group coaching program Rockstar Roadmap, it was a huge success. It felt fun, she didn’t feel it was forced. What is the best advice you have ever been given? The best advice she was given was by Joshua Rosenthal who is the founder of The Institute of Integrative Nutrition who said: “Life is a long time”. It simply means that you don’t have to do all the things at the same time, you need to go slowly and steadily. You can do different things in different phases of your life. Any final thoughts you would like to share with the audience?  Robyn advises everyone to take a moment every day just to connect with themselves.

Despite many mutual friends, Jordan and Robyn met while recording this ep… but you would never guess based on the energy in this episode (#FriendsAtFirstSight)!! Robyn has an AMAZING, intuitive ability to connect on a deep level with the people she’s talking to and working with, as you’ll see when she asks a few questions (and gets responses!) from Jordan’s body! Robyn also answers all of Jordan’s questions about balancing the flora in our gut and just generally treating our tummies as best as possible, and then we dig into her new book. Jordan LOVES how Robyn is disrupting the conversation around being thin – because thin isn’t a dirty word, it’s simply a feeling from within! The feeling of LIGHTNESS and vibrancy. Robyn is empowering people to find their happiest, healthiest, and most vibrant sense of self, and we are stoked to share that with all of you! We’d like to thank our sponsor, HUM Nutrition! Jordan has been talking about them on the blog for YEARS because they help her feel amazing, and she wants you to know about them too!

Dieting sucks. Let's just be honest about that. Holidays, birthdays, and even just a Friday night out with friends means we are all often surrounded by tempting foods that are not perhaps the best for our midsections. How can we easily navigate the endless food options that always appear in front of us at the worst times? For Robyn Youkilis, she understands this struggle. She also recently had her first child and had to re-shift her thinking as she set realistic goals in returning to her normal pre-baby weight. Regarding the struggle of losing weight, sometimes people can become hard on themselves if the results aren't immediate. How can we push back against this mentality of wanting and needing quick weight loss?
