If you’ve ever struggled with your metabolism, hunger, cravings, unpredictable weight gain, or basically anything that is related to diet culture, this episode is for you. This week, Jenn Trepeck is joining me to discuss the mind-body connection to our metabolic health and how we can eat to fully support our emotional and physical well-being through food.

We get into how protein and fiber eaten together work wonders for our metabolic health so that we don’t experience such intense swings in our insulin, which can impact our mood, cravings, weight, and so much more. She also tells us how diet culture has given us a lot of unhealthy (and inaccurate) ideas about how we should eat and exercise. The good news — it’s not as complicated to eat well and take care of our bodies as diet culture makes us think.

By balancing our diet with enough protein and fiber, plus incorporating low impact strength training exercises into our lifestyle, we’re supporting all aspects of our health — especially our thyroids and metabolic functions.

This episode is packed with great information and advice for how we can support the full picture of our health with a few simple steps. And the best part is that there are no extremes here — it’s all part of an intuitive and sensible way of living.

This week, I'm joined by my dear friend and colleague, Carly Loewenthal, to discuss the often overlooked mental and emotional side of healing.

To demonstrate, I open up about a very personal experience where getting "glutened" triggered a traumatic flashback for me. With Carly's guidance through subconscious reprogramming, I was able to release this trigger and experience profound shifts like being able to sleep through the night again and even share a bed with my husband, which had become challenging.

We dive deep into the power of subconscious reprogramming — a tool that helps rewire limiting beliefs and patterns holding you back from being your most authentic self. Carly, a certified life coach and functional diagnostic nutrition practitioner, explains how this work allows you to break free from self-imposed limitations and see new possibilities.

This episode demonstrates how addressing the mental-emotional layers is key for true, lasting healing. You'll learn practical tips on getting grounded during dysregulation and using your imagination to rewrite past experiences lacking resolution.

Whether you're struggling with chronic health issues, anxiety, people-pleasing tendencies or more, this work can empower you to make transformative changes. We invite you to keep an open mind and tune in to learn how subconscious reprogramming could be a game-changer on your healing journey.

If you’ve ever eaten a meal and felt immediately drained, fatigued, or brain-fogged, you also probably wondered why those foods made you feel that way — and you’re not alone. Foods affect people so differently, and one of the clearest disparities is in how our blood sugar responds to our lifestyle choices.

With continuous glucose monitoring, it’s easy to get an objective look at our overall health through the lens of our blood sugar. Get too little sleep, and you might notice your blood sugar responding to that. Eat too many carbs without some protein or fat, and you might be spiking more than usual.

It can also help us avoid chronic health issues like insulin resistance (pre-diabetes) and diabetes, or give us insight into how glucose affects autoimmune conditions and other health issues we’re already facing.

No matter what the reason, continuous glucose monitoring gives us valuable information about our health that can help us make informed choices about our diet, sleep, and exercise habits that can keep our overall health and wellness at its peak.

Join me in welcoming Emily Johnson of Veri to learn more about continuous glucose monitoring and how glucose plays a role in every part of our wellbeing.
