   44. Could Your Gut Be Affecting Your Hormones?

   What if the bloating, fatigue, brain fog, or weight changes you've been blaming on your hormones aren't just about your hormones? If you're in perimenopause or menopause, it's easy to assume everything you're experiencing is related to changing estrogen levels or your thyroid. And sometimes it is. But your gut may be part of the picture too. In this episode, I'm explaining why your gut does so much more than digest food and how it connects to your hormones, thyroid health, immune system, and metabolism. I'll talk about: How your gut bacteria participate in estrogen metabolism Why constipation matters, especially if you have thyroid issues The connection between gut health, nutrient absorption, and fatigue Why probiotics and gut testing aren't one-size-fits-all Simple ways to support your gut without expensive supplements or restrictive diets I'll also share why eating a greater variety of plant foods, managing stress, and paying attention to your digestion can make a difference. Because feeling bloated, exhausted, and uncomfortable all the time shouldn't be something you just accept as part of getting older. Want more help understanding your gut, thyroid, and hormones?

   43. Are Carbs Good or Bad? And What Actually Matters

   Are carbohydrates really responsible for weight gain, insulin resistance, and all the metabolic problems we keep hearing about? Or have we been blaming the wrong thing? In this episode, I'm breaking down what actually matters when it comes to carbohydrates. I'll talk about why an apple and a sugary soda aren't metabolically equivalent, what happens to your blood sugar and insulin after eating, and why eliminating carbs can sometimes mean missing out on important nutrients and fiber. I'll also explain why I'm not a fan of giving everyone the same carbohydrate recommendations, how food quality influences your metabolic health, and why you don't necessarily need to fear every glucose spike. Before you eliminate another food group, let's look at the bigger picture. My goal is to help you understand which carbohydrates work for your body so you can stop following restrictive food rules and start making informed nutrition choices.

   42. The Most Underrated Form of Exercise? Just Walk.

   Walking might be one of the most underrated things you can do for your health. It doesn’t require a gym, special equipment, or a complicated training plan, and you don’t have to hit 10,000 steps for it to count. In this episode, I explain why exercise and daily movement aren't the same thing, why an hour-long workout doesn’t necessarily make up for sitting most of the day, and what research on step count suggests about cardiovascular health, blood sugar, cognitive health, and healthy aging. I also shares simple ways to move more without turning your step count into another health metric to obsess over. The goal is simple: start where you are and make it better.
