Hey messy warriors — in this episode, I’m diving into a supplement that has been making a lot of noise in the wellness world lately: myo-inositol. It may be trending right now, but after digging into the research, I wanted to break down why so many people are talking about it and what it might actually be doing in the body.

In this episode, I unpack myo-inositol in a simple, practical way and talk about how it may support communication between some of the body’s major systems — including hormones, insulin, thyroid function, and neurotransmitters like serotonin, dopamine, and GABA. I explain how sometimes things can look “normal” on paper, but still feel completely off in the body, and why that disconnect matters so much.

I also dig into the connection between stress, cortisol, nervous system overload, metabolism, and hormone signaling, especially for women. Because when the body is stuck in survival mode, it doesn’t just affect mood — it can disrupt blood sugar, thyroid function, cycles, sleep, energy, and more. This is where the conversation gets bigger than one symptom, one hormone, or one system. It’s all connected.

This episode is really about looking at the body as a whole. Not just asking, “What’s wrong?” but asking, “What disrupted the communication in the first place?” That’s a very different question — and in my opinion, a much more powerful one. 🙌

Most of all, this episode is a reminder to stay curious, advocate for yourself, and keep going on your wellness journey — whether you’re just starting with a 10-minute walk or you’ve been at this for years. Every messy win counts, and I want to celebrate them with you. 💛

If this episode speaks to you, send me a message and let me know what messy win you’re celebrating this week. I’d love to hear from you and keep building this community together.

Stay Messy !

On this episode of Everything’s Messy Podcast— today’s conversation is one of those “wow… we’re really not alone in this” episodes.

I’m sitting down with Brian Blaylock, a US Navy veteran, high school golf coach, and a seriously impressive golfer (we’re talking five hole-in-ones… and yes, he’s known for setting course records in flip flops, which is iconic). But what brought us together wasn’t golf first—it was the heart story.

Brian shares how his heart attack hit him in a way that didn’t look like what we’re “told” a heart attack is supposed to feel like. No dramatic chest pain. No obvious warning sign. Just days of feeling off, uneasy, almost like anxiety… until it became undeniable that something was really wrong. He found out he was having an active heart attack at 43 years old. And you guys… the parallels between his story and mine were WILD.

We talk through the procedure (including the reality of blockages), the shock of being “healthy” and still having this happen, and the emotional piece that doesn’t get enough airtime—how your brain can keep whispering, “Is it happening again?” anytime you feel a little weird.

Then we of course “shivot” (pivot and shivet together my fave made up word) into what changed after: Brian’s wife went full “clean house mode” (hello, Yuka app and the pantry purge 😅), their shift toward more organic/whole foods, and lifestyle changes like cutting alcohol. We also get into the tricky stuff—how confusing the medical messaging can be, how much we both dove down rabbit-holes after a health scare, and how hard it is to figure out what’s truly helping vs. what’s just loud “health PR.”

We also nerd out a bit (but in a practical way) about vitamin D and why “being outside” doesn’t always mean your body is converting it well, and why D with K2 matters.

And then because Brian IS a golfer, we bring it back to golf: the hole-in-one streak, coaching high school athletes, building young men into strong humans (not just better golfers), and how he uses his story to push other men to get checked—especially the ones who are always exhausted, headachy, and brushing it off.

This one is messy, raw, funny in the best way, and honestly… it’s the kind of episode that can nudge someone to take their health seriously before life forces them to.

A big shout out and thank you to Brian for taking the time to share his “messy” story and allow us all a chance to get to know him of course on the “golf level” and of course a big “THANK YOU FOR YOUR SERVICE". Until next time keep it messy!

On this episode of Everything’s Messy Podcast I get into March as it is Autoimmune Awareness Month, and this topic hits close to home for me. As someone living with Type 1 diabetes and Hashimoto’s, autoimmune disease isn’t just something I read about in a textbook—it’s something I navigate every single day.

The truth is, autoimmune disease is far more common than most people realize. Millions of people are walking around dealing with symptoms like fatigue, brain fog, hormone disruption, inflammation, and blood sugar chaos without fully understanding what’s happening in their bodies.

In this episode, I’m breaking down what autoimmune disease actually is, why it affects women at much higher rates, and some of the environmental and lifestyle triggers that may play a role in why we’re seeing autoimmune conditions rise so dramatically.

We also dive into something that doesn’t get talked about nearly enough—the connection between gut health, stress, and immune function. Your immune system doesn’t just randomly decide to attack your body. There are signals, triggers, and patterns happening beneath the surface that deserve more attention.

If you or someone you love is navigating autoimmune disease, this episode is meant to bring awareness, education, and hopefully a little empowerment. Because understanding what’s happening inside your body is one of the most powerful steps you can take toward better health.

Remember, your body isn’t broken. Sometimes it’s just asking us to slow down, listen, and start connecting the dots.

And as always, my messy warriors—keep finding strength through the mess. 💛
