    Exhausted to Energized: Real Nutrition Talk for Real Moms with Laura Lima
    Jul 23 2025
    Episode Overview Are you tired of feeling exhausted all the time as a mom? Wondering if you'll ever feel like yourself again? This episode is your wake-up call! Join Kristen Parise as she chats with Laura Lima, a holistic nutritionist and soon-to-be mom of four, who's cracking the code on how busy moms can ditch the fatigue and reclaim their energy—without complicated meal plans or impossible routines. Laura brings real-world wisdom from the trenches of motherhood, sharing practical strategies that actually work when you're sleep-deprived, overwhelmed, and just trying to keep everyone fed (including yourself!). If you've ever eaten a protein bar for breakfast while standing in your kitchen, this conversation is for YOU. What You'll Learn The Energy-Boosting Essentials That Actually Matter: Why that water bottle needs to become your new best friend (and the simple trick to drink more)The power of protein and fat combinations that keep you satisfied for hoursHow to avoid the blood sugar roller coaster that's making you feel like garbage Meal Prep Hacks for Real Life: The slow cooker strategy that will save your sanityWhy boiled eggs in the fridge are a game-changerLaura's "anything goes" approach to the newborn phase (because perfectionism can take a hike!) Breaking the Snack Attack Cycle: The truth about why you're craving sugar all day longHow to eat three solid meals without feeling deprivedThe mindset shift that transforms your relationship with food Staying Consistent When Life is Chaos: Laura's morning ritual that sets the tone for successThe "future self" technique that stops bad decisions in their tracksWhy asking "How do I want to feel when my head hits the pillow?" changes everything Episode Highlights From Spa Days to Mom Life Laura's journey from aesthetician to holistic nutritionist wasn't planned, but when her then-boyfriend (now husband) spotted an opportunity at the Institute of Holistic Nutrition, she knew she'd found her calling. Now as a busy mom expecting her fourth baby, she's living proof that you can feel vibrant even in the thick of motherhood chaos. The Water Bottle Revolution It sounds basic, but Laura's passionate about this: always have water with you. At your nursing station, in your car, on your nightstand. "When you bring your water with you, you will automatically drink more water," she explains. It's the foundation that makes everything else work. The Almond Butter Nightstand Strategy Sometimes you need easy wins. Laura's honest about bringing a jar of almond butter and a spoon to her nightstand during the newborn phase. "That's a snack. That's just some extra booster protein that will help get me through the night." No judgment, just nourishment. The Blood Sugar Truth Bomb "When we rely on things like bars... they just make our blood sugar spike. And when it goes up, it goes down fast. And when it goes down fast, we're feeling tired, lethargic, probably mood swingy." Laura breaks down why those convenient snacks are actually working against you. The Cravings Mind Shift This is where it gets deep. Laura's approach to emotional eating isn't about willpower—it's about recognizing that "food will not actually make this better. I will not actually feel happier when I eat that food." It's a game-changing perspective that addresses the real root of cravings.

  • Rock Star to Pelvic Floor Revolutionary with Dr. Bruce Crawford

    Rock Star to Pelvic Floor Revolutionary with Dr. Bruce Crawford
    Jul 16 2025
    Episode Overview Get ready for one of the most fascinating origin stories you'll ever hear! Join Kristen Parise as she sits down with Dr. Bruce Crawford, the maverick urogynecologist who went from drumming in rock bands to revolutionizing pelvic floor health worldwide. This isn't your typical medical journey—it's the story of a surgeon who discovered that "It's a fitness problem, not a surgical problem" and completely transformed how we approach bladder control, prolapse, and pelvic health. From playing drums in successful rock bands to becoming the ONLY urogynecologist in the United States to develop a comprehensive pelvic floor fitness program, Dr. Crawford's path proves that sometimes the most unconventional routes lead to the most groundbreaking discoveries. What You'll Discover The Email That Changed Everything: How one random email in 2003 led Dr. Crawford to West Africa and completely transformed his medical philosophyThe Pfilates Revolution: The fascinating EMG research behind 120 movement studies that identified the 10 most effective pelvic floor exercisesWhy Traditional Medicine Gets It Wrong: The eye-opening revelation that pelvic floor disorders are fitness problems being treated as surgical onesThe Power of Co-Recruitment: How your glutes, inner thighs, and deep abdominals can save your pelvic floor (without you even thinking about it!)Real Results: Why 80% of clients see 50% improvement in bladder function in just 28 daysGlobal Impact: Stories from training 7,000+ instructors worldwide, including 1,700 in Japan alone Episode Highlights From Janitor to Rock Star to Surgeon: The Most Unlikely Medical Journey Ever Dr. Crawford opens up about his unconventional path—from being an 18-year-old hospital janitor with no college plans, to touring Europe as a drummer, to acing the MCAT and attending NYU School of Medicine. His greatest childhood fear? Being bored at work. Spoiler alert: that never happened! "My greatest childhood fear was being bored in my work. Kids are scared of the boogeyman—I was afraid of being bored as an adult." The Life-Changing Email: When Destiny Calls from West Africa In 2003, Dr. Crawford opened what seemed like a routine email. Next thing he knew, he was performing life-changing fistula repairs in Niger and Rwanda. This humanitarian work became the catalyst for his revolutionary discovery that would challenge everything he thought he knew about pelvic floor treatment. "You just never know which email it's gonna be. You never know what interaction is gonna totally change the path of your life." The Great Medical Revelation: "They're Not Surgical Problems!" After years of performing successful surgeries and watching the same problems return, Dr. Crawford had a professional existential crisis. His work with women suffering from obstetric fistulas in Africa made him realize that most pelvic floor disorders aren't surgical problems—they're fitness problems that deserve fitness solutions. The Science Behind the Magic: EMG Research That Changed Everything Discover how Dr. Crawford and his team used groundbreaking video EMG synchronization technology to study 120 different movements from Pilates, yoga, and personal training routines. The result? Ten specific movements that passively engage the pelvic floor through reflex relationships with other muscle groups. "75-80% of people are glute dominant. That's their best co-recruiter. But we didn't know that before the research." Why Your Stride Length Might Predict Your Sex Life In a fascinating tangent, Dr. Crawford shares a Japanese study showing that men with longer natural stride lengths had less erectile dysfunction. The reason? Hip extension engages glutes, which are the dominant pelvic floor recruiters. Mind = blown! Breaking the Incontinence Silence: "How's Your Bladder Working?" Learn Dr. Crawford's direct, no-nonsense approach to breaking down barriers around embarrassing health topics. His secret? Unwavering eye contact, matter-of-fact delivery, and understanding that if you're uncomfortable, your patient will be too. "You need to coax it gently and with kindness. You can't feel fear and shame and embarrassment." The Fitness Revolution vs. The Medical Machine Dr. Crawford doesn't hold back about the medical industry's relationship with Big Pharma and the profit motives that keep surgical solutions at the forefront. His controversial take: we've got it completely backwards, treating exercise and nutrition as "radical therapy" instead of first-line treatment. "There might be exploitation taking place here. We put everyone on a med. If that doesn't work, we operate. And if that doesn't work, we try radical therapy like exercise and nutrition. This might be completely upside down." The Lonely Road of Medical Innovation Discover what it's like to be a pioneer in a field resistant to change, especially when that change threatens income streams. Dr. Crawford's honest reflection on choosing to "effectively put ...

What You'll Discover in Body Brilliance: Emotional Eating & Hormonal Health (with Amber): How hormonal fluctuations disrupt hunger cues and trigger emotional eatingStrategies for managing perimenopause mood swings and emotional challengesWhy conventional diet methods fail during hormonal transitionsTools for addressing body image struggles and building self-worth Pelvic Health & Physical Wellness (with Kristen): Solutions for bladder issues including leaks and urgencyRelief strategies for pelvic organ prolapse and pelvic painTechniques to enhance sexual comfort and return to exercise with confidenceHow to properly support your pelvic floor during life's changes Episode Overview Join Kristen Parise as she reunites with emotional eating expert Amber Romaniuk for an inspiring conversation about their groundbreaking collaboration: the Body Brilliance Workshop. This dynamic duo explores the powerful connections between emotional eating, hormonal health, and pelvic floor dysfunction—areas that profoundly impact women's lives yet are often overlooked or dismissed. From the shame surrounding both food struggles and pelvic health issues to the interconnected roots of these challenges, this episode reveals why addressing both physical and emotional health together is the key to true healing. What You'll Learn How emotional eating and pelvic health issues share surprising common roots in shame and unworthinessWhy hormonal changes during perimenopause require completely new approaches to health and healingThe connection between people-pleasing, boundary-setting, and both food and pelvic health strugglesHow physical pain can drive emotional eating patterns and vice versaWhy creating safe spaces for women to discuss these "taboo" topics is essential for healingWhat the Body Brilliance Workshop offers for women struggling with these interconnected issues Episode Highlights Breaking the Shame Cycle Around Women's Health Amber and Kristen explore how shame surrounding both emotional eating and pelvic health issues keeps women isolated and prevents them from seeking help. They emphasize that these struggles are far more common than women realize and that breaking the silence is the first step toward healing. The Mind-Body Connection: When Physical and Emotional Health Collide The hosts reveal fascinating connections between mental and physical health. When women experience pelvic pain, they often reduce activity and seek comfort in food. Similarly, hormonal fluctuations can trigger both emotional eating and pelvic floor dysfunction, showing why comprehensive approaches work better than treating symptoms in isolation. Why Perimenopause Changes Everything Amber explains how perimenopause represents a fundamental shift requiring completely new strategies. The restrictive diets and exercise routines that worked before suddenly become ineffective, demanding a more holistic approach that addresses hormonal changes, emotional patterns, and physical symptoms together. Introducing Body Brilliance: Where Pelvic Health Meets Emotional Wellness Kristen and Amber unveil their collaborative workshop that fills gaps in traditional healthcare. Body Brilliance connects the dots between cravings, hormones, emotional health, and pelvic function, providing women with comprehensive support in a safe, judgment-free environment.
