It's Called A Crash Diet for A REASON: How Chronic Dieting Wrecks Your Metabolism, Mood, and Mind
Nutrition could be an entire season of the podcast, but I wanted to address the constant noise around dieting especially as we head into summertime. While there's nothing wrong with wanting to look good or feel comfortable in your skin, the glorification of "thinness" above health is worrisome.
Food is a deeply emotional and challenging topic for many of us; it's tied to cultural identity, personal self-concept, and society's narratives about being "good" with food. Each of those could be their own episode, so I have attempted to stay within the scope of health effects from dieting in this show.
In this episode, you'll learn about the unintended consequences of dieting- from nervous system dysregulation and irregular periods to bloating and actually slowing down your metabolism. We will cover some of the mindset shifts that guide my clients away from dieting and help them experience greater health, stronger bodies, and more stable moods.

More That "Tired": Recovering from Adrenal Fatigue
This is more than just a poor night's sleep. No amount of coffee can put a dent in your exhaustion. No matter how much you sleep, you wake up feeling like you got hit by a truck. You feel like you're doing all the right things, so what the heck is going on?!
In this episode, you'll learn about adrenal fatigue and HPA axis dysregulation, the underlying processes that show up as exhaustion, irregular cycles, nervous digestion, feeling wired and tired, and a sense of overwhelm combined with apathy (a weird paradoxical feeling, I know).
I hope this episode will support you as you shift into a softer, more curious way of moving through the world. Hustle culture, overachieving, and people pleasing are no longer serving you. It's time to listen to what your body has to say.

If Your "Labs Look Normal"... It's Time to Look Deeper
So many of us struggle with mystery symptoms- unexplained weight gain, fatigue, anxiety, brain fog, hair loss, painful cycles- only to be told "your labs look normal" when we visit the doctor.
In this episode, you'll learn why conventional bloodwork doesn't give you the full picture and how functional medicine labs can shift the focus from diagnosing disease to actually balancing your body and promoting vibrant health.
We'll talk about the way I utilize functional labs in my practice, not only to create customized healing protocols but more importantly to put you back into relationship with your body.

From Thyroid Cancer to Health Practitioner: My 6 Year Journey to Vibrant Health
While I'm SO excited to share well-researched deep dives to answer all your burning health and hormone questions, I wanted to begin with my own story. Why? Because you may find many similarities to your own journey. Whether you've constantly minimized your symptoms or couldn't find answers when you tried to heal, I hope my story can be inspiring to you. I certainly don't do health "perfectly" (none of us do), but looking back on a time when I could barely get out of bed to now? If I can do it... so can you.
