205: GLP-1s, Weight Loss Maintenance & Rebuilding Yourself with Betsy of Boujee Betsy 05/07/2026

205: GLP-1s, Weight Loss Maintenance & Rebuilding Yourself with Betsy of Boujee Betsy Hi friends! I have a brand new podcast episode live, and Betsy is back for round two!! If you haven't heard of , she is the creator behind Boujee Betsy, a community for women in their 40s who are finally choosing themselves, and she is as real as it gets. She's also one of my best friends in the whole world!! Today we are picking up right where we left off, diving into our personal experiences with peptides, the mental side of weight loss maintenance, body image, and so much more. Here's what we chat about: Betsy's background, how she lost 70 pounds with the help of a GLP-1, and what life looks like now in maintenance mode The mental and emotional journey of rebuilding your identity after significant weight loss Why maintaining your goal weight is honestly harder than losing it (and why nobody talks about that) Body image after weight loss and why some days you still feel like you're in your old body Why Betsy never counted calories or followed a strict food program and how she still maintains her results The "ingredient household" approach to feeding a family and keeping it realistic What is next for Betsy as she steps away from 20 years in education to focus on family and content creation And so much more!! Betsy's honesty about the parts of the wellness journey that nobody glamorizes is so refreshing, and I just know you are going to love her. Betsy is not your typical wellness guest. She's 45, unapologetically high-maintenance, and the creator behind @Boujee.Betsy — a community for women in their 40s who are finally choosing themselves. After losing 70 pounds with the help of a GLP-1, she'll be the first to tell you the medication wasn't the hard part. The hard part was everything it uncovered. Betsy speaks openly about maintaining weight loss when nobody's congratulating you for it anymore, the fear that never fully goes away, and the mental work of rebuilding your identity from the inside out. She's been in fight or flight mode for most of her adult life - and she's finally, deliberately, living differently. Her superpower? Saying out loud what everyone else is afraid to admit. Her mission? Showing women that pouring into yourself isn't selfish. It's survival. Follow her journey at Are you interested in 1:1 wellness support and functional testing?

204: What Your Skin Is Really Telling You | Sunscreen Safety, Botox Risks & Dermatologist-Backed Habits for Healthy Skin with Dr. Mamina Turegano Hi friends! I have a brand new podcast episode live, and today we are talking all things skin! 🌟 I'm sitting down with Dr. Mamina Turegano, a triple board certified dermatologist, internist, and dermapathologist based in New Orleans. In this episode, she's sharing a really refreshing, integrative take on skin health, the kind you don't usually get at a regular derm appointment. We get into the topics that are all over social media lately, like whether sunscreen is actually safe, the real deal with Botox, and what habits genuinely make a difference for your skin long term. Here's what we chat about: The real story behind the sunscreen-causes-cancer claim and what the benzene contamination scare actually was Why correlation is not causation when it comes to sunscreen use and skin cancer rates The truth about chemical vs. mineral sunscreen and what the FDA actually says A dive into Botox and all about the safety data, the reported adverse reactions, and the emerging research on brain health Why skincare advancements (hello, peptides) are changing what we actually need procedures for The non-negotiable basics every skin routine should include What lifestyle factors are aging your skin faster than you think The connection between sleep, stress, and skin conditions like acne, eczema, psoriasis, and hair loss And so much more! It was awesome getting to talk to Dr. Mamina and I hope you like listening to it as much as I enjoyed chatting with her!

203: Insights of a Neurosurgeon | Peptides, Minimally Invasive Surgery & the Holistic Approach to Healing with Dr. Amir Vokshoor Hi friends! I have a brand new episode live and today I'm joined by a neurosurgeon with some AMAZING insights on brain health, spine health, and really just whole-body healing. Dr. Amir Vokshoor is a board-certified MD and Chief of Surgery at Providence Saint John's Health Center in Santa Monica, and he specializes in minimally invasive spine surgery with a genuinely integrative, whole-body approach to brain and spine health. If you've ever dealt with back pain, are thinking about longevity, or just want to keep everything moving well as you get older, I think you're going to love this one. Here's what we chat about: Why Dr. Vokshoor's go-to tagline is "there's no health without brain health" — and what that actually means for your daily life The three key areas of spinal mobility he recommends everyone work on (cervical, thoracic, lumbar — plus hips and ankles!) His simple daily movement routine for spinal health that takes just minutes and doesn't require any equipment What minimally invasive spine surgery actually looks like How AI is changing his practice right now — including letting him actually touch his patients again during visits The promise and honest limitations of peptides Why chronic pain becomes a brain disease — and what that means for treatment And so much more!! This episode is a great reminder that your brain health isn't separate from the rest of your wellness. Whether you're postmenopausal and thinking about bone health, dealing with chronic pain, or just want to move well as you age, Dr. Vokshoor brings a refreshingly human and holistic perspective to neurosurgery.

202: Regenerative Farming 101 | What's Really in Your Meat, Animal Welfare & Why It Matters with Jenni Harris of White Oak Pastures 03/26/2026

202: Regenerative Farming 101 | What's Really in Your Meat, Animal Welfare & Why It Matters with Jenni Harris of White Oak Pastures Hi friends! I have a brand new podcast episode live, and today I'm talking about something that is so close to my heart: Where our food actually comes from. 🌿🐄 I'm joined by the incredible Jenni Harris, fifth-generation farmer and Director of Marketing at White Oak Pastures, a leading regenerative farm in Bluffton, Georgia. If you've ever stood in the grocery store aisle wondering what "regenerative" or "pasture-raised" actually means (and whether it's worth it), this episode is going to answer ALL of that for you. This one just might change the way you grocery shop! Here's what we chat about: What regenerative agriculture actually means and why it goes beyond "sustainable" The three shifts (industrialized, commoditized, centralized) that changed farming for the worse and how White Oak Pastures is swinging the pendulum back Why animal welfare is about more than just being "cage-free" and what it really looks like to let animals express their instinctive behaviors How soil health connects directly to the nutrient density of your food Why White Oak Pastures gave up pesticides and chemical fertilizers and the wild story of how they started using them in the first place How grazing multiple species of livestock actually works as a natural alternative to chemicals The case for regional food systems and why your local farmer matters more than a big national brand How YOU can support regenerative farmers beyond just voting with your dollar And so much more!! This episode is a friendly reminder that eating well isn't just about macros and calories, it's also about knowing and trusting where your food comes from.

201: Sleep Tips That Actually WORK | Morning Routines, Magnesium, Meal Timing & More 03/19/2026

201: Sleep Tips That Actually WORK | Morning Routines, Magnesium, Meal Timing & More Hi friends! I have a brand new podcast episode live, and today I'm diving into one of my all-time favorite topics — sleep! 😴✨ This is a solo episode where I'm walking you through the exact checklist I use with my own clients when we're troubleshooting sleep. Because here's the thing: when we fix sleep, so much else starts to fall into place. Digestion, hormones, mood, energy, body composition — it all connects back to how well you're resting at night. Whether you're a new mom running on fumes, someone who wakes up at 1am and can't fall back asleep, or just someone who never feels truly rested — this episode is for you. Here's what we chat about: The power of morning sunlight and why getting outside first thing is a game-changer Why most people are taking the wrong type of magnesium — and what to look for instead How castor oil packs support your liver, calm your nervous system, and help shift your body into rest-and-digest mode The meal timing sweet spot that makes a noticeable difference in sleep quality Why alcohol before bed is sabotaging your deep sleep (and what to have instead) The connection between blood sugar dips and that dreaded 1–3am wake-up window How to manage stress and screen time before bed so your nervous system can actually wind down My honest take on unplugging the Wi-Fi router at night and keeping your phone off your body My current favorite sleep supplements — including one that gives me that warm, calm feeling without the hangover And so much more!! This episode is a friendly reminder that great sleep doesn't just happen at night — it's built throughout your entire day. If you've been struggling to get consistent, restful sleep, I hope this gives you a solid starting point. And if you want to go deeper, I'd love to help you run some functional lab work to see what might be going on hormonally or metabolically. Send me an email at with "sleep" in the subject line and I'll send you all the details — no coaching fee to review your results, just answers! I love winding down with a warm cup of before bed, and I always pair my nightly routine with my favorite and for extra relaxation.

200: Autoimmune Healing, Nervous System Safety & the Biggest Mistakes I Made on My Health Journey 02/26/2026

200: Autoimmune Healing, Nervous System Safety & the Biggest Mistakes I Made on My Health Journey Hi friends! I have a brand new podcast episode live, and today is a very special one — episode 200 🎉 This is a short solo episode where I’m reflecting on my own healing journey and sharing the biggest mistakes I made along the way, especially during the height of my autoimmune symptoms. This episode is less about regret and more about perspective, compassion, and helping you avoid some of the same pitfalls if you’re in a season of healing right now. In this episode, I open up about what was happening behind the scenes when my lupus markers were positive, my nervous system was completely fried, and my body was very clearly asking for safety — even though I didn’t fully understand that at the time. This episode is especially for you if you feel like you’ve “tried everything,” are overwhelmed by information online, or feel stuck in a loop of doing more but not actually feeling better. Here’s what we chat about: Why chasing body composition while your body is screaming for help can actually slow healing The truth about exercise intolerance and why pushing harder isn’t always the answer The mistake of taking supplements without testing (and why more isn’t better) How probiotics and popular wellness products can backfire if your gut isn’t ready Why lab testing was a turning point in my healing (and why I wish I had done it sooner) Why cold plunging, fasting, caffeine, and red light therapy weren’t what my nervous system needed at the time How staying up all night Googling symptoms kept my body stuck in fight-or-flight The connection between hypervigilance, cortisol, inflammation, and stalled healing A reminder that you’re not behind, broken, or failing if healing is taking time This episode is such an honest reminder that healing isn’t about doing more — it’s about doing the right things at the right time, in a way that supports your nervous system instead of overwhelming it. If you’re in the middle of a healing journey right now, please know you’re not alone. I truly believe our experiences make us stronger, wiser, and more compassionate on the other side.

199: Perimenopause, Nervous System Health & How Stress Impacts Your Hormones 02/12/2026

199: Perimenopause, Nervous System Health & How Stress Impacts Your Hormones Hi friends! I have a brand new podcast episode live, and today we’re diving into a topic that so many women are confused about but deeply affected by: perimenopause. I’m joined by the amazing mother-daughter duo, Candace and Jess from Your Hormone Balance, and we’re breaking down what perimenopause actually is, why it can start earlier than most women expect, and how chronic stress and nervous system dysregulation play a huge role in hormone imbalances, fatigue, mood swings, weight gain, and more. This episode is especially for you if you’re in your 30s or 40s, feeling “off” in your body, struggling with sleep, energy, anxiety, or changes in your cycle - and being told everything is “normal.” Here’s what we chat about: What perimenopause really is (and why it’s an 8–10 year transition, not a single moment) The early signs of perimenopause, including changes in your cycle, mood, sleep, and energy Why progesterone is often the first hormone to decline — and how that impacts anxiety, PMS, and stress tolerance How chronic stress, overworking, under-eating, and people-pleasing disrupt ovulation and hormone balance The connection between nervous system dysregulation and symptoms like fatigue, brain fog, bloating, and low libido Why so many women are estrogen dominant — and how stress drives that imbalance The importance of hormone testing (and why symptoms alone don’t tell the full story) Simple, realistic nervous system practices to lower cortisol and support healing Breathwork techniques like the “physiological sigh” to calm anxiety in real time Everyday vagus nerve tools: humming, singing, grounding, and gentle movement How boundaries, asking for help, and reducing people-pleasing can literally improve your hormones Why heavy, painful, or irregular periods are not something you should ignore The role of protein, nourishment, and avoiding extremes with exercise and caffeine This episode is such a powerful reminder that your body isn’t broken; it’s responding to the life you’re living. And with the right tools, support, and awareness, you can move through perimenopause feeling calmer, stronger, more regulated, and more in tune with your body. I hope you enjoy this episode!

Rachel shares how she helps clients uncover the emotional roots of their physical ailments - bridging the gap between traditional medicine and emotional healing. This conversation is such an eye-opener if you’ve ever felt stuck in your healing journey or wondered what your body might be trying to tell you. Here’s what we discuss: Rachel’s path from chronic illness to becoming a symptom support coach, also known as a medical intuitive How the body uses symptoms as a signal that something deeper needs attention The difference between intellectual and emotional processing of stress How to identify unresolved emotions that may be stored in the body Common emotional roots behind conditions like back pain, thyroid issues, and autoimmune disease The link between self-criticism, Type-A tendencies, and chronic illness Rachel’s “knot” exercise for emotional release and symptom relief Real-life client transformations—from chronic pain to deep emotional healing Why physical healing alone isn’t enough without emotional integration And so. much. more! This one’s for anyone who’s ever said “I’ve tried everything” and still hasn’t found answers: Rachel’s perspective just might change the way you think about your health forever.

185: How A Detox Can Help Holistically Hi friends! I have a new solo podcast episode going live, and in it, I'm sharing a practice that has become a cornerstone of my quarterly health routine: the EquiLife Detox. This episode dives into why supporting your body's natural detoxification pathways is more critical than ever in our modern environment. Here’s a sneak peek at what we're diving into in this episode: What a detox truly entails (moving beyond restrictive juice cleanses) and why seasonal detox support can benefit nearly everyone experiencing fatigue, hormonal imbalances, allergies, or unexplained symptoms. The reality of daily toxin exposure from our food, water, air, and common products, and how this overload can manifest as symptoms like brain fog, stubborn weight, and skin issues. The science behind Phase 1 and Phase 2 liver detoxification, explaining why supporting both is essential for effective toxin elimination and to avoid common "detox flu" symptoms. My personal experience with the detox, detailing observed benefits such as increased energy, clearer skin, deeper sleep, and a significant reset of cravings. A discussion on why natural detoxification can be challenging in today's environment due to pervasive toxins and depleted nutrient content in food.

183: Why You're Not Losing Weight (EVEN When You're Doing all The Things!) 06/12/2025

183: Why You're Not Losing Weight (EVEN When You're Doing all The Things!) Hi friends! I have a new podcast episode live and I’m so thrilled to share a solo episode with you all about a super common and often frustrating topic: Why it's hard to lose weight, even when you feel like you're doing all the things! Here’s what we discuss: Why "calories in versus calories out" isn't the whole story when it comes to weight loss. The crucial role of mindset and stress in weight loss resistance, and how to calm your nervous system. Why under-eating might be tanking your metabolism, and how reverse dieting can help rebuild it. The impact of hormonal imbalances (estrogen, progesterone, thyroid) on your weight loss journey. The often-overlooked connection between gut health (parasites, Candida, SIBO) and inflammation/weight loss resistance. How over-exercising (especially too much HIIT and cardio without enough strength training) can backfire. The importance of mineral balance and how things like stress, caffeine, and sweating can deplete essential nutrients. The hidden impact of toxin load from our environment on hormones and metabolism, and gentle ways to support detox pathways. Why doing more isn't always the answer, and the importance of self-kindness, patience, and playing the long game for sustainable results. and so.much.more! Partners: Maisey goes crazy for this!

We talk about: - How sleep posture impacts your health - The ideal sleep posture - Keys to getting a great night’s sleep and so.much.more. 176: How to fix your sleep and transform your health with Dr. Peter Martone Here’s more about Dr. Martone and his background: is an educator and patient care practitioner who has been focused on improving patient’s biomechanics for over 23 years during his private practice as a chiropractor. Dr. Martone always believed that the structure of your spine effects the function of the central nervous system, and this principle is the cornerstone of his practice. Dr. Martone’s core belief is that the central nervous system controls every function in the human body and in order to be able to express true health you have to keep your nervous system healthy. When your spine falls out of alignment due to poor spinal mechanics, it interferes with the proper function of the nervous system thus throwing the body out of balance. Peter’s mission is to help as many people as possible achieve optimal health function and performance so they can reach their full potential in life. During his 23 years of practice, Dr. Martone found it harder and harder to keep his patients aligned due to the stress of the modern-day lifestyle on their posture. His patients were coming in with the same problems which inspired him to come up with an innovative solution to help correct patients spines while they sleep. He worked with designers and engineers to create the Neck Nest, his newest product that helps correct patients spines while they sleep. ’s revolutionary concepts are designed to help restore proper biomechanics of the spine by adopting a neutral sleeping position, helping you sleep better, live longer and be healthier. His techniques have been featured on CBS, NBC, Fox News, Dave Asprey’s Upgraded Conference, and over 50 podcasts as he travels the world teaching people how to regain their health by mastering the art of sleeping.
