    In today’s episode, I share the story behind why I created this company and why so many moms feel exhausted, dismissed, and unheard after having kids. I talk about how vague symptoms like fatigue, stubborn belly weight, anxiety, and hormone imbalances are often brushed off as “normal,” even when labs come back normal, leaving moms without real answers.

    We dive into cortisol, the body’s main stress hormone and how it quietly keeps the body stuck in survival mode, disrupting hormones, blood sugar, and digestion. I break cortisol down in a simple, reassuring way and share three foundational steps I use with clients to help rebalance cortisol for more energy, and more stable hormones.

    Winter is here, and if you’ve been feeling more tired, stressed, or stuck with weight after the holidays, it’s not your fault. Your body works differently in colder months, and what you eat can either calm or spike your stress hormone, cortisol affecting your energy, sleep, and even weight.

    In this episode, I’m sharing 5 simple, specific food swaps you can make this winter to keep cortisol low, stabilize insulin, and support steady energy without dieting, fasting, or juice cleanses. These are foods that tell your body it’s safe, grounded, and supported during the cold months.

    In this episode, I’m sharing the one thing that almost no one talks about when it comes to postpartum weight loss: your cellular charge.

    If you’ve tried the diets, the workouts, and the supplements and your body still won’t let go of weight, I explain exactly why and it has nothing to do with willpower.

    I break down:

    • What negative net charge actually means in simple terms

    • How I see moms losing charge every day without realizing it

    • Why low charge slows hormones, metabolism, and fat loss

    • The first steps I teach my clients to rebuild charge and finally feel their body responding again

    If you’ve ever felt stuck in your own body or like nothing is “working,” this episode will help everything finally make sense.

    If you’ve ever tried a detox, parasite cleanse, elimination diet, or supplement stack hoping it would finally fix your IBS, bloating, or constipation only to end up feeling worse, you’re going to love today’s conversation.

    I’m joined by Dr. Kate Davis, a gut health expert who helps women heal by focusing on sequence, not trends. Together, we break down why so many moms get stuck in the gut-symptom cycle: not because they’re doing the wrong things, but because they’re doing them in the wrong order.

    Dr. Kate walks us through the exact step-by-step process needed to reverse IBS, constipation, bloating, and chronic gut symptoms by addressing stress, toxins, infections, and organ function in a structured, logical sequence.

    This episode will help you understand why detoxing before your organs are ready makes you feel worse, why trendy gut protocols backfire, and how to support your body so healing becomes predictable
