Ep 225: What Supplements Should I Be Taking? With Expert Zoe Karli
Forget the supplement overwhelm—what if you could narrow it down to just five game-changing supplements that actually move the needle on your health? Instead of drowning in endless online studies and conflicting advice, maybe it's time we got real about what our bodies actually need. How about we call them health insurance pills? Or better yet, longevity boosters? In this week's Thin Thinking Podcast, I'm joined by wellness expert and supplement strategist Zoe Karli for a no-nonsense conversation about the top supplements that can transform your energy, balance, and long-term health. Whether you're tired of wasting money on supplements that don't work... Or you're overwhelmed by all the conflicting information out there... Or you're ready to create a simple, science-backed supplement strategy that actually fits your budget... This episode will cut through the noise and give you a clear roadmap to supplementation that works—without breaking the bank or cluttering your medicine cabinet. So put down that confusing study your husband just sent you, take a breath, and come on in! SUPPLEMENT LIST FROM ZOE KARLI If you only could take a few supplements, here are my MUST take, suggestions (and to note, I am not a doctor). ZETA Body offers everything but #2. (Coming very soon). D+K 5000 - Vitamin D isn't a supplement or just any old "vitamin", it's actually a precursor to a very important hormone that helps the body make Calcium available to send (primarily) to bones and teeth. Added bonus, helps manage inflammation. Arguably, one of the best longevity supplements. ESPECIALLY FOR WOMEN because of our decreasing bone density (of all ages). Creatine, at least 5G / day. No, it doesn't make you "bulky" - an old wives-tail. It is a naturally occurring compound stored in our muscles, and simply put: acts on energy reserves and supports cognitive function (it crosses the blood brain barrier, not all things do). It's synthesized from amino acids in the liver, kidneys and pancreas AND via our diets - red meat and fish. Needless to say, we need it, it's critical and shouldn't be overlooked. I recommend this brand: "CLEAN, Creatine, get it on Amazon! Only use Creapure and if you don't like powder, gummies are available). Probiotic. Research continues to show our guts our like our second brains. They filter so many toxins. Our food sources are becoming less and less nutrient dense. We need to supplement the natural "bugs" (bacteria) in our guts in order to help them function properly. If you are looking into ZETA, our phytonutrients are also a great way to supplement - they have pre and probiotics and can act very similarly to a multi-vitamin. If you take a probiotic solo, please add a good, complete multi. Methylated Bs. B6 +B12 are critical for certain processes for gene expressions. Simply put, these two Bs have separate but complementary roles for energy, neurotransmissions and have significant influence on mood, energy and brain function. Methylation is a fancy word for a molecule that binds to another molecule then speeds up or helps navigate gene expression (very layman). Which leads me to my last suggestion. Brain health is SO important (and even more these days with all the over-stimulation, blue light, etc.). My newly co-developed nootropic (fancy word for brain health). I'm biased, but Z-83, a very novel nootropic. I'm proud to have developed it w/the founder and creator of creatine (as we know it - the most studied supplement). Z83 decreases that lurking brain fog, stimulates but subtly, without crashes or jitters all while calming our over-stimulated, anxious and stressed minds and bodies. Trully the HERO of your day. A daily performance supplement for brain and body. In This Episode, You’ll Also Learn… Why 99% of people are deficient in the one supplement that could triple-digit reduce your disease risk. How one "sports supplement" is actually your secret weapon for brain health and longevity. Why women need to think differently about supplementation (especially after 30).

“What is my ideal weight?” It’s a question so many of us ask ourselves—but often, it's not just about the number on the scale. Underneath it can live deeper emotions, self-judgment, and the quiet (but persistent) question: Am I enough? In this week’s powerful new episode of the Thin Thinking Podcast, I’m joined by Rhona, who has released 25 pounds and maintained her progress. But our conversation didn’t start with the success—it started with a moment of self-reflection. A few months ago, Rhona found herself wondering: Am I really at my ideal weight? That one question opened up a much deeper dialogue—one about body image, self-acceptance, and redefining what success truly means on the journey of weight mastery. This episode is about peeling back the layers: 💬 What really defines “ideal weight”? 💬 How do emotions and self-worth tie into the number on the scale? 💬 What does sustainable success actually look like?

That’s exactly what happened to my guest on this week’s episode, Penny Duke.

Ep 205: Mastering Maintenance: Susan’s Story
The road to releasing weight long-term isn't just about weight but about shifting a lot of beliefs about ourselves, and our worth.

Susan’s journey began at the age of 14 and spanned decades of challenges. But now, at 60, she has finally found freedom—not just with her weight but within herself. As part of our ongoing series on Mastering Maintenance, Susan opens up about her powerful story of healing and self-acceptance. Together, we explore the transformative steps she took to embrace happiness and how she let go of her inner perfectionist. This candid and impactful conversation is one you don’t want to miss.

If you’ve ever started a weight loss journey in January, full of excitement and determination, only to feel frustrated and off track just a few weeks later, you’re not alone.

But it doesn’t have to be like this. Here’s some good news: the ability to stick with your goals isn’t about having superhuman willpower or some magical genetic gift. Nope!

Let’s make this the year you don’t just set goals—you reach them. Listen to the first episode of Weight Loss Resilience Training and get ready to build the mental strength you need to stay focused, consistent, and unstoppable.
