You can’t take care of others if you’re running on empty.
We’ve all heard that before—but too many of us still put our health last, especially when life gets busy and responsibilities pile up.
At some point, that has to change.
Welcome to the “How the Health are YOU?” Podcast—where we focus on what’s really going on with your health, your energy, and your habits.
This podcast is built around a simple idea:
It’s not just about willpower.
It’s not just about trying harder.
In many cases, it’s about understanding your metabolism and how your body is actually working.
Here, we’ll talk about:
Why your energy may not be what it used to be
How to build simple, sustainable habits
What it really takes to create lasting health
I’ll also share my own journey—losing 50 pounds, facing setbacks, and learning what actually works long-term.
Because the truth is:
We all have ups and downs.
But every step—forward or backward—can teach us something if we’re willing to learn from it.
You don’t need a perfect plan.
You just need a place to start.
My goal is to help you take that step—so you can feel better, live better, and show up stronger in your daily life.
Let’s get started.
Your Body Is Protecting You When Life Gets Hard (S1E7)
Send us Fan Mail Stress doesn’t just live in your head, it shows up in your metabolism. If you’ve ever thought, “I’m doing what I’m supposed to do with food, but my body won’t cooperate when life gets hard,” you’re not alone. We talk through why stressful seasons can change your energy, your cravings, and especially what happens around the midsection, even when your meals haven’t changed much. We break down the real biology of cortisol and why it isn’t the villain. In short bursts, cortisol ...

Muscle And Metabolism: Stop Letting Your Muscles Coast! (S1E6)
Send us Fan Mail How the Health are You? If you’ve been told your metabolism is “just slowing down,” there’s a missing piece most of us never learned: muscle is not only about looks or lifting heavy things. Skeletal muscle is a metabolic organ, and it does a huge share of the work of clearing glucose from your bloodstream after you eat. When muscle is active and insulin-sensitive, your energy gets steadier, your blood sugar spikes get smaller, and your body handles carbs with less drama. In ...

What If Your “Broken Metabolism” Is Really A Protein Gap (S1E5)
Send us Fan Mail Hey, fellow Contender! Your metabolism probably isn’t “broken.” It might just be under-supported, and one of the simplest supports is protein. We’re pulling the spotlight onto why protein is not a bodybuilder topic, but a real-world tool for anyone who wants steadier energy, better appetite control, and a stronger body that holds up as the years stack up. We connect the dots between the typical low-protein day (coffee first, carb-heavy meals, big dinner) and the frustr...

You Don’t Wait For Motivation; You Create It By Moving (S1E4)
Send us Fan Mail What if exercise stopped feeling like judgment and started feeling like support? We take a fresh look at movement as a daily practice that preserves capacity—strength for everyday tasks, balance for confidence, joint health for freedom of movement—and explain why consistency matters far more than intensity or perfection. We unpack the emotional baggage many people carry around gyms and workouts and replace it with a kinder, science-backed frame. Drawing on research from Harv...

Sleep, Hormones, and Energy After 40: Why Better Sleep Changes Everything (S1E3)
Send us Fan Mail Stop treating sleep like a side quest. We pull back the curtain on why consistent sleep is the quiet engine behind stronger workouts, steadier moods, sharper thinking, and better nutrition choices—especially in midlife when stress, hormones, and recovery all demand more care. We start by reframing sleep as active physiology, not downtime. Think nighttime maintenance: repairing muscle and connective tissue, clearing brain waste, recalibrating insulin sensitivity, balancing co...

Hydration--The Foundation of Metabolic Health & Weight Loss (S1E2)
Send us Fan Mail Your body can do incredible work when it has enough water. In this episode, we unpack how steady hydration quietly powers metabolism, curbs false hunger, and smooths energy so you feel focused and capable all day. Rather than drowning in complex jargon, we share clear, usable habits that fit into real life and deliver results without relying on willpower. Isaac Sanchez, metabolic health coach, explains why hydration is foundational—touching digestion, circulation, temperatur...

The way to Metabolic Health: You Don’t Need Perfect, You Need Consistent (S1E1)
Send us Fan Mail Welcome to Episode 1 of the "How the Health are You?" Podcast! Ever feel like your energy drains by mid-morning, your cravings drive the day, and your health story is stuck on repeat? We walk through a real, messy, and hopeful path from midlife weight creep and fatigue to steady momentum using one powerful lens: metabolic health. I share how a teacher with a long commute, sore feet, and a busy family life rebuilt stamina by focusing on small, repeatable habits rather than cha...
