Episode 576—the last one! After 11 years of conversations, Stef and I are looking back at how our views on health have evolved and answering a final round of listener questions. We’re talking Botox, histamine and hormones, staying low carb long term, weight gain when you start lifting, our favorite shoes, and what we’ve appreciated most about doing this podcast together. Thank you, friends. We love you!

Let’s see how much we can pack in! Today, we’re diving into the egg controversy and what omega-6 testing, feed supplementation, and egg license numbers actually mean. We also discuss insulin resistance, dark circles and eyesight after 40, salt choices, and share nuanced thoughts on GLP-1s. It’s a big-picture conversation about food transparency, metabolism, and midlife shifts.

[1:35] Welcome

[12:10] Egg conversion

[30:07] Can we do a dive into insulin resistance? It sounds easy, but it's overwhelming I'm not sure where to start.

[46:21] I have dark circles under the eyes every morning after waking up even if I feel like I got the best sleep ever. Is there something deeper happening?

[56:07] Now that I’m 40, I’m realizing my eyesight is not what it was. Are there any ways to heal your eyes without getting glasses, will readers make my eyesight worse, and I would love recommendations for readers with blue light blockers.

[1:05:19] I still use table salt with iodine because I’m not sure of another sufficient source of iodine. I’d love to use natural salt. What are your thoughts?

[1:11:40] What do y’all think about GLP-1's, specifically as a treatment for PCOS?

This episode is all about finding the sweet spot between effort and regulation. We cover trending tools like vibration plates, healing after chronic overtraining, migraine management, and whether walking is enough. In summary: progress only sticks when your nervous system is on board.

[1:40] Welcome

[2:37] Would love your take on the very popular vibration plates right now.

[18:32] What’s one health trend you wish women would stop stressing over? (Gentle roasting encouraged).

[29:30] I’d love it if you’d answer how long it takes to regulate after years of over-exercise.

[38:55] Can you talk about how you handle migraines?

[46:43] Is walking really enough or do I need something more intense to see actual changes? How do you balance pushing yourself in workouts without overwhelming your nervous system?
