    If you’re in your 30s or 40s and starting to think about things like brain health, muscle loss, or bone density… this episode is one you want to listen to.

    In this episode, I’m talking with registered dietitian Kristin Kirkpatrick from the Cleveland Clinic about what actually matters when it comes to protecting your brain, maintaining muscle, and supporting your bones especially as estrogen starts to decline.

    We talk about Alzheimer’s risk starting decades before symptoms, what kind of nutrition actually supports your brain long term, and the simple habits that can make a big difference.

    We also get into omega 3s, creatine (which is really interesting for women), and what you should actually be paying attention to when it comes to supplements.

    This episode is very practical, very doable, and one that just helps you feel more in control of your health moving forward.

    What we cover:

    • How menopause impacts your risk for cognitive decline
    • A simple way to think about eating for long term brain support
    • Omega 3s what to eat and how to know if you’re getting enough
    • Creatine for women and how it supports muscle and brain function
    • Bone health what to do now to protect it later
    • The role of strength training and movement

  • 169: Clean Beauty Is Confusing…Here’s What Actually Matters with Oni Auer
    Apr 8 2026

    Send us Fan Mail

    Today’s episode is such a good reminder that beauty doesn’t have to be complicated.

    I’m talking with Oni Auer, founder of ITP Beauty, about what clean beauty really means and how to approach skincare in a simpler, more grounded way.

    We get into how confusing “clean beauty” has become, why education matters more than labels, and how to make safer choices without feeling overwhelmed. Oni shares her story of dealing with a skin issue that led her to completely rethink her routine and eventually create her own line.

    We also talk about ingredients to be aware of, like formaldehyde, the difference between U.S. and EU standards, and how to avoid greenwashing.

    But more than anything, this conversation is about coming back to simple, safe, effective skincare and not feeling like you need to constantly fix or change yourself.

    Apr 1 2026

    Send us Fan Mail

    We’re talking all about fragrance and how it can impact your health in ways most of us don’t even realize.

    I’m joined by Sarah Griffith, founder of Treo Organics, and she shares her personal health journey, what led her to start questioning everyday products, and how she began cleaning up her environment in a realistic way.

    If you’ve ever wondered about things like candles, perfumes, cleaning products, or even “clean” labels, this conversation is going to open your eyes a bit. Not in an overwhelming way, just in a way that helps you make better, more informed choices over time.

    We also talk about:

    • What “fragrance” actually means on an ingredient label
    • Why it’s not as regulated as you might think
    • Simple swaps you can make without overhauling your whole life
    • How reducing your toxic load can support your overall wellness

  • 166: Is Iron Deficiency Being Misunderstood with Samantha Chandler
    Mar 18 2026

    Send us Fan Mail

    In this episode of Learning to Glow, I’m joined by Samantha Chandler to explore a completely different perspective on iron, heavy periods, and women’s health.

    Samantha shares how a “low iron” blood test during pregnancy led her down a path of iron supplementation, postpartum complications, and eventually a deeper investigation into how iron actually functions in the body. We talk about the difference between iron levels in the blood versus how iron moves through tissues, why ferritin levels can be misunderstood, and why many women with heavy periods may actually be dealing with iron dysregulation rather than simple deficiency.

    We also discuss the key nutrients that support healthy iron metabolism, including copper, vitamin A, whole food vitamin C, and electrolytes. Samantha shares why she believes food quality matters, how modern iron fortification may play a role in mineral imbalance, and simple ways women can start supporting their bodies through nutrient dense foods.

    This conversation challenges some of the common narratives around iron deficiency and invites women to look deeper at root causes when it comes to fatigue, heavy periods, and mineral balance.

    In this episode we talk about:

    • Why “low iron” on a blood test may not tell the full story
    • The difference between iron deficiency and poor iron circulation
    • Why ferritin levels are often misunderstood
    • The connection between heavy menstrual bleeding and iron regulation
    • Nutrients that support iron movement including copper and vitamin A
    • Cod liver oil, beef liver, and whole food sources of minerals

  • 164: Modern Unwinding: How to Feel Calm in a Busy Season of Life with Emily Bennett
    Mar 4 2026

    Send us Fan Mail

    In today’s episode of Learning to Glow, we’re talking about modern unwinding, better sleep, and what calm can actually look like in real life. I’m joined by Emily Bennett as we chat about how our relationship with stress, rest, and evening routines can shift as life seasons change, especially during motherhood and busy, high demand years.

    We talk about how stepping away from old wind down habits can improve sleep quality, reduce racing thoughts, and create more intentional evenings. Emily shares practical ways to build simple nighttime rituals that feel supportive rather than restrictive, and how small, consistent habits can have a powerful impact on nervous system regulation and overall wellbeing.

  • 163: Metabolism, Midlife Weight Gain & Fatigue with Dr. Aleksandra Gajer, MD
    Feb 25 2026

    Send us Fan Mail

    After a decade in emergency medicine, Dr. Gajer shifted her focus to proactive, root-cause care centered on metabolic health, habit change, and improving healthspan. We talk about what’s missing in modern medicine, why being told “it’s just genetic” is rarely the full story, and how insulin resistance quietly drives many midlife symptoms.

    We dive into fatigue, weight gain, poor sleep, and loss of vitality, especially during perimenopause, and how insulin resistance, muscle loss, inflammation, gut health, thyroid and cortisol imbalance, and hormone shifts all connect. Dr. Gajer explains insulin resistance in simple terms and why the eat less move more approach often backfires in midlife.

    What we cover:

    • Why midlife weight gain often comes down to insulin resistance
    • What insulin is doing behind the scenes
    • Why genetics are not the whole picture
    • The metabolism shift that works in midlife: building muscle and stabilizing blood sugar
    • Protein and fiber targets for metabolic health
    • Simple tools like post-meal walks and consistent eating windows
    • How sleep and light exposure affect insulin resistance
    • Perimenopause hormone changes and sleep disruption
