It did not.

You have food. You have about four thousand recipes saved on your phone. And you still have no idea what you are making for dinner.

Here is the thing, friend. That nightly panic is not a you problem, and it is not because you do not care. It is because nobody ever gave you a system that actually holds up when you are tired, the plan fell apart, and everyone is asking what time you are eating.

So today, I am giving you one.

In this episode, I will walk you through how to build a satisfying dinner without ever opening a recipe, the handful of go-to meals that take the deciding off your plate entirely, and exactly what to do on the nights that completely change on you. I will even show you the one small thing to do earlier in the day that saves the whole evening.

And I am giving you full permission to make something simple, repeat a meal you love, and let an easy dinner count. Because feeding yourself well was never supposed to be the hardest part of your day.

You do not need another recipe. You need a plan you can actually use. Let’s build it.

And if you want help with the bigger picture, working with your body and eating real food in a way you can actually keep up, the Thin Adapted System will walk you through it, step by step. Learn more at GetThinlicious.com/ThinAdaptedSystem.

So why has your body started acting like a stranger, packing weight around your middle in a way it never did before? And why do the things that always used to work not even make a dent anymore?

You are not imagining it. And you did not get lazy, or lose your willpower, or let yourself go.

Somewhere after 40, your body quietly changed the rules on you. It changed how, and where, it stores fat. And almost nobody sits you down and explains what is actually happening or why the harder you try, the more stuck you seem to get.

Here is the part most women never hear: a lot of what you have probably been doing to fight it may be making it worse.

In this episode, I am breaking down exactly what changes in your body after 40 that sends fat straight to your midsection, the common things women do that quietly backfire (you are going to want to stop one of them today), and what actually works when your belly is responding to your hormones instead of your effort.

And if you are already in menopause, or years past it, and wondering if that ship has sailed, stay with me. The answer is going to surprise you.

This was never a willpower problem, friend. And a hormone problem has a hormone solution.

And if you want real help steadying your body and working with your hormones instead of against them, the Thin Adapted System will walk you through it, step by step. Learn more at GetThinlicious.com/ThinAdaptedSystem.

And you stand there thinking, wait, how? I did not do anything that different.

Here is what I need you to know. You are not imagining it, and it is not your willpower. There is a real reason women gain weight every single fall, it starts quietly right about now, and almost nobody sees it coming until the damage is already done.

And no, it is not the one big Thanksgiving plate. It never was.

In this episode, I am pulling back the curtain on what actually drives that slow fall weight creep, the sneaky little decision most of us make in October that quietly costs us three whole months, and how you can enjoy every bit of this season, the food, the parties, all of it, without ending up heavier in January. I will even walk you through exactly what to do when you are standing at the holiday table.

This year really can be different. And it does not start with some miserable January reset. It starts right now, before the slide even begins.

And if you want real support making it through this season with your body instead of against it, the Thin Adapted System will walk you through it, step by step. Learn more at GetThinlicious.com/ThinAdaptedSystem.

And some of those breaks? I never figured out what caused them. No accident. No hard fall. Nothing that should have done that kind of damage.

Here is what I need you to understand, because I learned it the hard way. Your bones can be getting weaker for years, and you will not feel a single thing. No ache. No symptom. No warning. Until one day, something breaks that never should have.

And almost nobody warns us about this in time.

This is not a someday, little-old-lady problem. What happens to your bones down the road is being decided right now, in midlife. And there is a reason women are especially at risk, one that has everything to do with what is shifting in your body after 40.

In this episode, I am telling you what is actually happening to your bones, why the thing most women count on to protect them is not nearly enough on its own, and the simple steps that can start protecting you starting today. I will also tell you the one test to ask your doctor for, so you are never blindsided the way so many women are.

Because you cannot feel this happening. But you can absolutely do something about it. And it is never too late to start.

And if you are ready to give your body and your bones the strong foundation they have been asking for, the Thin Adapted System will walk you through it, step by step. Learn more at GetThinlicious.com/ThinAdaptedSystem.

The scale is up two pounds and you have already decided nothing is working.

Someone says the wrong thing and you have already fired back.

Here is what almost nobody tells you: there is a tiny space between the thing that happens and the thing you do next. And that little space is where all of your power lives.

Most of us never use it. We react. Fast, automatic, on a pattern we have run a thousand times. And then we wonder why nothing changes.

This week I taught this to the women inside my Thin Adapted System community, and it was too good to keep in one room, so I reworked it for you.

In this episode, I will show you why you do not have to believe everything you think, the one word that interrupts the whole automatic cycle, and the three simple questions that turn a reaction into a choice. I will also share how my faith shapes the way I do this, and exactly how it works whether you share that faith or not.

It is not a personality trait. It is not something the disciplined people were born with and you were not. It is a skill. And it might be the most important one you ever build.

Because sometimes the difference between repeating the life you have always lived and finally creating the life you actually want is just a pause.

And if you are ready to heal your body too, so the cravings quiet down and that pause gets so much easier to find, the Thin Adapted System will walk you through it, step by step. Learn more at GetThinlicious.com/ThinAdaptedSystem.

Nobody shows you the eight years that come after the after.

That is the part they leave out. The part where most people, quietly, gain it all back, usually with a little extra on top. You have probably heard that statistic. Maybe you have lived it. Lost it, gained it, lost it, gained it, until you started to wonder if keeping it off is even possible for someone like you.

It is. But not for the reason you think, and not the way anyone told you.

I lost over 100 pounds. And I have kept it off for eight years, not through more willpower, not by white knuckling my way through every meal, not by being some special kind of disciplined that you are not.

In this episode, I am telling you the truth about the part the whole industry skips: why most people gain it back, the shift that made keeping it off stop feeling like a fight, and the one small habit I hold onto even when everything else in my life falls apart.

Here is the part that might surprise you most. Keeping it off is actually lighter and freer than losing it ever was. And it does not require you to be perfect. Not even close.

If you have ever lost the weight and watched it creep back, and felt like a failure for it, this is the episode I most want you to hear. You were not the problem. You were just never told the truth about this part.

Come find out what actually keeps it off for good.

And when you are ready to do this in a way you can actually live with, the kind that heals your body so keeping it off stops being a fight, the Thin Adapted System will walk you through it, step by step. Learn more at GetThinlicious.com/ThinAdaptedSystem.

You weren't hungry. You know you weren't. And tomorrow you'll do the thing you always do, which is decide you just need more willpower.

Friend, it was never about willpower.

You already know what you're supposed to eat. You could teach the class. So why is it still so hard? Why does the food win at the end of a long day, every time?

Because the reason we reach for food when we're not hungry has almost nothing to do with food. And until you understand what's actually driving it, no meal plan on earth is going to stick.

In this episode, I'm walking you through what's really happening: the name for what you've been doing (I use it with my coaching clients all the time, and once you hear it, you'll see it everywhere), the reason your own hormones might be quietly setting the whole cycle in motion, and why you cannot shame or white knuckle your way out of this, no matter how many times you've tried.

And I'll show you what to reach for instead, including the one thing most women completely overlook when the feelings get big.

You are not weak. You are not broken. You've been using the only tool you had.

Come find out what your body has actually been hungry for.

And when you're ready to take the physical piece off the table, so the cravings quiet down and this all gets easier, the Thin Adapted System will walk you through it, step by step. Learn more at GetThinlicious.com/ThinAdaptedSystem.

You have heard those words. And you wanted to believe them. But you walked out of that office and cried in your car, because you know your own body, and something is not right.

You are tired in a way sleep does not fix.

You are cold when no one else is.

The weight will not move, no matter what you do.

And somewhere along the way, you started to wonder if maybe you are the problem. If maybe you are just weak, or lazy, or getting old, and this is simply your life now.

Stop. Read this next part twice.

You are not imagining it. You are not being dramatic. And there is a real, specific reason your bloodwork can say you are fine while your whole body is screaming that you are not.

Almost no one explains this to women. Today, I am going to.

Inside this episode: the reason "normal" on a lab report does not mean what you think it means. The single test that gets skipped over and over, that could change everything. What your body has been trying to tell you all along. And if you are already on medication and still feel like a stranger in your own skin, why that might not be the end of the story.

This is the episode I wish someone had handed me years ago.

You deserve real answers. You deserve to feel good in your own body, not just fine on paper. And it starts with knowing what to ask.

Press play. Then go be your own advocate, because no one will ever fight for your body the way you can.

And if you know a woman who is exhausted and being told she is fine, send her this episode. It might be the thing that finally makes her feel less alone.

Hit follow so you never miss what is coming next. And if you have thirty seconds, leave a review. It is how the next tired, dismissed woman finds her way here.

And somewhere along the way, quietly, you started to wonder if maybe you had missed your shot. At the weight. At the health. At the whole life you used to picture for yourself.

Here is the truth about that.

The belief that says it is too late for you is not protecting you from anything. It is the single thing keeping you stuck. And not just with food. It is the same lie that has been talking you out of the business, the book, the trip, the calling, the bold thing you buried years ago and told yourself you would get to someday.

This is the episode where we take that lie apart.

Why after 40 might be the best time to change your body, not the worst. What all that noise around food and your weight has quietly been costing you, because it is so much more than pounds. And what becomes possible the moment you finally get that space back.

You did not miss your window, friend. Come find out why.

You have probably been treating those like four different problems. Blaming your age. Blaming your hormones. Quietly wondering what is wrong with you.

What if they are not four problems at all? What if they are one, and it is one of the most fixable things there is?

There is a reason women over 40 end up quietly starving for protein at the exact moment their bodies need it most, and once you hear it, a whole lot of what you have been blaming on aging is going to look very different. Your body has been sending up flares about this for a while. You just did not know how to read them.

In this episode, I am walking you through the 5 signs your body is begging for more protein, the one that surprises everyone, and why the scale going down might actually be bad news. Then I will show you exactly how much you really need, and the single meal where almost every woman misses it completely.

You are not falling apart, friend. And this is not just your age.

I am not saying that to be dramatic. Go pull one out of your fridge and turn it around. I will wait.

This is the episode where we find out why you crave sugar every single afternoon even though you swear you barely eat any. And the answer is not willpower, and it is not that something is wrong with you. It is that half the food you have been buying on purpose, because you believed it was the healthy choice, is quietly spiking your blood sugar and setting up the crash that sends you into the pantry at three o'clock.

You are not imagining it. That afternoon craving is physical. Your body is genuinely asking you for something, and no amount of white knuckling is going to win that argument, because you are showing up to the fight hours too late.

I ate that way for years and blamed myself for every bit of it, until I found out what was actually in my breakfast.

Inside: what is really happening in your body between breakfast and that three o'clock desperation, where the sugar is hiding in the foods you thought were the healthy choice, whether fruit counts, and the one change to make tomorrow morning that most women feel by that same afternoon.

You were never weak. You were on a rollercoaster nobody told you about.

When you are ready to get off that rollercoaster for good, the Thin Adapted System will walk you through it, step by step. Learn more at GetThinlicious.com/ThinAdaptedSystem.

Here is something wild. The most expensive food in your grocery cart is not the meat, and it is not the produce. It is the cheap, processed stuff you grab because it is easy and on sale. The stuff that never actually fills you up, so you keep reaching for more of it, and keep paying for it with your energy, your health, and honestly, your money.

When I sent out my last survey, one question came up again and again. How do I do this when money is tight? So today, I am answering it. And I am bringing receipts, because long before Thinlicious, I spent years running a frugal living blog teaching women how to stretch a dollar. Saving money is in my bones.

Inside, I am walking you through exactly how to feed yourself, and your whole family, real food that actually heals your body, for less than you are spending right now. No fancy health foods. No fourteen dollar smoothies. Just simple, cheap, real food, plus a few little tricks that make it work even for the people at your table who are not fully on board yet.

If money has been the reason you keep putting yourself last, friend, this one is for you.

I know how that sounds. For years, I did exactly what we have all been told to do. Eat less, move more. And for a while, it worked. Then it stopped, no matter how hard I tried. And even when I thought I was being so good, eating my yogurt and my oatmeal and all the low calorie foods that are supposed to be the healthy choices, my body would not budge, and I felt worse than ever.

Here is what I did not understand back then. When you eat less and less, your body does not reward you for it. It protects you. It slows your metabolism, keeps your insulin up, raises your stress hormones, and holds onto every ounce of fat for dear life. You end up eating less and storing more at the very same time.

In this episode, I walk you through exactly why eating less has been working against you, why those so called healthy foods were quietly keeping you stuck, and the surprising truth that finally helped me lose over 100 pounds and keep it off for eight years. Not by eating less. By finally giving my body what it actually needed.

In this episode:

• Why "eat less, move more" works for a little while and then quits on you
• The three things happening inside your body every time you cut your food: your metabolism, your insulin, and your cortisol
• How everyday "health foods" like yogurt and oatmeal can keep you locked in fat storage mode
• What it really means to become thin adapted, and why you cannot get there by starving
• The one simple change to make at breakfast tomorrow morning

How many mornings has the number on your bathroom scale ruined your whole day? You stepped on it before you had even had your coffee, saw a number you did not want to see, and let it decide whether you were winning or losing, on track or off, worth celebrating or worth being disappointed in. Friend, that is not what the scale is for.

I still weigh myself multiple times a week, eight years into maintaining a hundred pound weight loss. Not because I am obsessed. Not because my worth depends on the number. Because it is a genuinely useful data point when you know how to read it. And in this episode, I am going to teach you how.

We are talking about the difference between using the scale as a judge (which is how most of us have been using it) and using it as a coach (which is what it was actually meant to be). Why a five-pound overnight jump is almost never fat gain, and what your body is actually telling you when the number shifts. How to look at patterns instead of reacting to single readings. And why sodium, sleep, hormones, inflammation, and even your last workout can move the scale by several pounds in either direction, no matter how perfectly you have been eating.

We are also talking about the rest of the dashboard your body is giving you, that most women are completely ignoring. Your energy. Your sleep. Your cravings. Your digestion. Your strength. How your clothes are fitting. What your labs are actually saying. Your mood. Your capacity to show up for the people you love. The scale is one data point among many, and when you learn to read the whole picture, everything changes.

You will walk away with a fresh way to think about the number on your scale, three practical things you can do this week, and permission to stop letting a single reading decide how you feel about yourself.

If you have been white-knuckling your mornings around a piece of bathroom equipment, this one is going to set you free.

Maybe life got heavy and the scale responded, and no diet or workout would move it. Or maybe you were getting results, feeling like yourself again, and then a season hit and everything ground to a halt. Whichever woman you are, I see you. And I want you to hear the truth about what was actually happening, because I think when you understand it, something in you is finally going to be able to exhale.

This is one I have lived more than once. In this episode I am pulling back the curtain on what your body does in survival mode, what is happening in your brain under sustained stress, and why none of it was weakness or a lack of willpower. It was your body and your brain doing exactly what they were designed to do to keep you alive. And then we talk about what healing actually looks like on the other side, starting not from shame but from grace. 💗

What We Cover In This Episode:

• The two stories almost every midlife woman lives through, and why both end in self-blame
• Why your body is not separate from your life, and what that means in a hard season
• What survival mode actually is, and why it is a real physiological state and not a metaphor
• How chronically high cortisol raises your blood sugar and insulin and locks your body into fat-storage mode
• The sleep loop your body cannot break on its own
• How your hunger hormones get scrambled, with ghrelin up and leptin gone quiet
• What happens in your brain under prolonged stress, and why the amygdala grows louder while the prefrontal cortex goes quiet
• Why reaching for sugar and carbs in a hard season is neuroscience, not a character flaw
• The shift from punishment to partnership, and why it changes everything
• What real healing looks like, and the five things it actually requires

The Shift That Changes Everything:

The women who heal are not the women who hate themselves the most into action. The women who heal are the women who finally stop fighting their bodies and start partnering with them.

What Healing Actually Requires:

1. Acknowledging the season instead of minimizing it
2. Real rest, the kind your nervous system has been begging for
3. Nourishment, not restriction, so your body knows the famine is over
4. Community, because you were never meant to heal in isolation
5. Time, so much more time than you want it to take

The Verses I Leaned On In This One:

So much of this episode comes back to the truth that you were never designed to carry it all alone. These are the verses I keep close in the hard seasons.

• 1 Peter 5:7 - "Cast all your anxiety on him because he cares for you."
• Psalm 34:18 - "The Lord is close to the brokenhearted and saves those who are crushed in spirit."
• Matthew 11:28 - "Come to me, all you who are weary and burdened, and I will give you rest."

Three Things To Try This Week:

1. Name your season. Out loud, in writing, or in the quiet. Honor what you were carrying.
2. Choose one act of kindness toward your body. A walk, a real breakfast, an early bedtime. One thing that says I am going to treat you like an ally now.
3. Talk to someone who can hold the weight of what you went through with you. A friend, a coach, a counselor, a pastor.

A reminder before you go:

Whatever your body did in that hard season, whether the scale went up or whether it just stopped moving when you needed it to most, that was not who you are. That was a chapter. And chapters end. Your body kept you alive through something most people could not have made it through. That is not something to be ashamed of. That is something to be in awe of.

Most women think cortisol is just about stress. And friend, that is not the whole story. You can be managing your schedule, saying no when you need to, keeping your life under control, and your cortisol can still be running high all day long without you ever feeling stressed. I lived in that exact state for years and had no idea. I just thought the exhaustion, the belly weight, the brain fog, and the three a.m. wake-ups were my normal. They weren't. That was cortisol, and nobody warned me it was happening.

In this episode, I'm walking you through what cortisol actually is, why it's not the villain it gets made out to be, and the five things that are really keeping it elevated. Most of them have nothing to do with feeling stressed. We'll talk about why chronic dieting quietly traps you in a loop that makes everything worse, what perimenopause does to your built-in calming hormone, and the real priority order for bringing your cortisol back down so your body can finally let go of what it's been holding onto.

Whether you've been dieting for years, you're navigating perimenopause, or you're just tired of trying harder and getting nowhere, you deserve the whole picture. Your body is not broken. It's communicating. 💕

Everything we talked about today, protecting your muscle, stabilizing your blood sugar, getting your hormones working with you instead of against you, matters even more if you're on a GLP-1 or thinking about starting one. That's exactly what my upcoming masterclass is about. "What Your Doctor Didn't Tell You About GLP-1s" is a live class where I walk you through exactly what to eat, how to protect your muscle, and how to build a long-term plan whether you stay on these medications or not. It's happening live on Thursday, June 25 at 1pm Eastern, and there's a 7-day replay if you can't make it live.

Save your seat: GLP-1 Masterclass

There's a lot your doctor probably didn't tell you when they wrote that prescription. Not because anyone's hiding something, but because the appointment was ten minutes long and nobody actually walked you through what happens to your body, your muscle, and your metabolism while you're on the medication. That gap is exactly why so many women lose weight on a GLP-1 and still feel weak, still feel off, and still feel scared about what comes next.

In this episode, I'm getting honest about what these drugs can and can't do, why losing weight and losing muscle are not the same thing, and what it really takes to come out the other side stronger instead of starting over. Whether you want to stay on the medication, taper off it, or you're just trying to make a decision you won't second-guess later, you deserve the whole picture.

And if this episode cracks the door open for you, the masterclass is where you get the full map. "What Your Doctor Didn't Tell You About GLP-1s" is a live class where I walk you through exactly what to eat, how to protect your muscle, and how to build a long-term plan whether you stay on these medications or not. It's happening live on Thursday, June 25 at 1pm Eastern, and there's a 7-day replay if you can't make it live.

Save your seat: GLP-1 Masterclass

Have you noticed that the diets that used to work in your twenties barely move the needle anymore? That you can eat the exact same way you ate five years ago and the scale just sits there and laughs at you? That's not in your head. And it's not a willpower problem.

After years of dieting, especially during perimenopause and menopause, your body adapts to protect itself. Your metabolism slows down. Your hormones get dysregulated. Insulin resistance sets in. And every diet you try just digs the hole a little deeper.

In this episode, I'm walking you through the real reason weight loss gets harder after 40, including:

• The Biggest Loser study that proved your metabolism can stay suppressed for years after a diet ends
• How insulin resistance and cortisol team up to lock fat in place
• Why set point theory means your body will fight you to defend a higher weight
• The cumulative damage of decades of yo-yo dieting
• What actually works instead of dieting (it's not what you've been told)
• Three specific things you can do this week to start healing

If you've been doing everything right and your body still isn't cooperating, this is the episode that's going to put down the shame you've been carrying for years.

The foods that were keeping me stuck, tired, inflamed, holding onto weight no matter what I did, were not the cookies. They weren't the candy. They weren't the obvious junk.

They were the foods I was eating because I was trying to be healthy.

The yogurt. The smoothie. The protein bar. The granola. The whole-grain everything. The stuff with the little health halo on the front of the package that made me feel good about my choices.

And the whole time, they were spiking my insulin and quietly working against me.

In this episode, I'm walking you through the seven worst offenders. The foods that look so good on paper and are keeping you stuck. We're also getting a little nerdy with the science (don't worry, I promise it'll make a difference), so you'll finally understand why insulin, not calories, is the number that actually matters. And I'll leave you with three simple swaps you can make this week to start taking your power back.

If you've been doing everything right and still feel like your body isn't cooperating, this one's for you.

For decades, that's exactly what I was told. I was diagnosed with Hashimoto's, Raynaud's, and lupus in my teens and twenties, and I spent most of my adult life feeling sick, exhausted, and in pain. I hit 288 pounds. I tried every diet. I lost weight, gained it back, and blamed myself every single time. And every time I went to the doctor, the script was the same: "I'm not sure exactly what's going on. It's probably autoimmune related. Also — it would probably help if you lost some weight."

Like that was a treatment plan.

In this episode, I'm pulling back the curtain on the real reason it's so much harder for women with autoimmune conditions to lose weight — and it has nothing to do with willpower. There's actually a clear hormonal cascade going on inside your body, and once you understand it, the whole picture changes.

We're covering:

• Why autoimmune disease creates the chronic inflammation that drives insulin resistance
• How insulin resistance literally locks fat in your cells (and why "eating less" can't fix it)
• The thyroid piece your doctor probably isn't testing for — even with Hashimoto's
• The role medications like steroids play in weight gain and bone density
• Why a doctor's casual "you should lose weight" advice isn't a plan — it's a brush-off
• Three specific things you can do this week to start healing

I'm sharing my own story, too — including the moment my chronic migraines and cluster headaches almost completely disappeared after years of suffering. That was the moment I knew this wasn't a diet. This was healing.

I want to be clear: I'm not telling you that food cured my autoimmune diseases. I still have Hashimoto's, Raynaud's, and lupus. But my body finally got what it needed — and the difference was profound. Eight years later, I've maintained over 100 pounds of weight loss, my energy is steady, and I'm finally living the life I thought I'd lost.

If you've been working harder than anyone you know and getting nowhere — please, listen to this one.

Today, Ruth Soukup is joined by someone you may already know and love from inside the Thinlicious community: Lisa Joy Thompson. She's been here since day one — literally the very first coach in the TAS program — and today we're making it official. Lisa is now the majority owner of Thinlicious, and this podcast has a new home with her at the helm.

But before we get to the big news, we're taking you back to the beginning. Because the story of how this happened isn't just a business announcement. It's a God thing. And you need to hear it from the start.

In this episode, Ruth and Lisa share:

• How Ruth's decade-long yo-yo diet struggle led her to finally ask the right question — and lose 40 pounds in six months by ditching everything she'd been told about weight loss
• Lisa's parallel journey: diagnosed with autoimmune disease in her teens and twenties, hitting 280 pounds at 40, and eventually losing over 100 pounds (and keeping it off for eight years) by eating the same way TAS is built on
• The Christmas Eve party conversation that started it all — and why Ruth's first answer when asked "who would you sell Thinlicious to?" was Lisa, without hesitation
• What this transition actually means for you as a member of this community — and why the best of Thinlicious is still ahead
• What's coming next: more coaching, more community, and more of what has always made this program work

This isn't goodbye. It's the beginning of something even bigger. Ruth isn't disappearing — she's cheering Lisa on as her partner and biggest fan. And Lisa? She's been living this mission for years. She just gets to lead it now.

If you're a woman over 40 who's tired of feeling sick, exhausted, and like your body has stopped cooperating — you're in the right place. The Feel Better, Live Free podcast is back on a regular schedule, and we cannot wait to show you what's coming.

Ready to get started? Visit Thinlicious.com/happy to take your first step toward healing your body and getting your life back.

Today I’m excited to introduce you to one of my incredible clients, Tiffany Greer, and to share her incredible story, because it’s both super relatable and incredibly inspiring.

She’s a young mom of two little girls under the age of two, who joined the TAS program at 28 years old—and has since lost more than 80 pounds, completely transformed her energy, and reclaimed her confidence in a BIG way.

But her journey hasn’t been linear. She’s faced pregnancy, miscarriage, doubt, and even a few Taco Bell detours along the way. And yet, she kept coming back, and every time she did, she saw more results—because she finally found the truth about how her body actually works.

So whether you’re a busy mom, just getting started, or feel like you’ve tried everything, I know you’re going to be inspired by her story.

Let’s get into it.

----------

To learn more and get started on making this the year of you, be sure to visit thinlicious.com/program.

Because what if the real reason you’re not healing isn’t your willpower... it’s that no one’s actually gotten to the root of what’s going on?

In this episode we’re chatting with Carrie Drinkwine, a regenerative health expert, root-cause specialist, and the founder of the Institute of Regenerative Health. After healing herself from multiple autoimmune conditions, chronic illness, and even infertility, Carrie made it her mission to help other women do the same—physically, emotionally, and energetically.

And let me tell you, this conversation is deep. We talk about why so many women get stuck in survival mode, what conventional and even functional medicine often misses, and how real healing can actually start when you go beyond just managing symptoms.

If your labs say you’re “fine” but you still feel like garbage… if you’ve spent years pushing through the pain, the fog, the anxiety—this episode is going to challenge what you think you know about your body.
But more than that, it’s going to give you hope.

So let’s dive in.

Pelvic floor issues are way more common than you think, especially for women over 40. So why aren’t we talking about them?

Well, today we are.

We’re going to be chatting with Christina Walsh, a licensed physical therapist and the co-founder of Tighten Your Tinkler, where she specializes in holistic pelvic floor health for women—especially those of us over 40.

Christina’s work is all about non-invasive, practical solutions to problems like leaks, prolapse, pelvic pain, and all the awkward stuff that no one wants to talk about—but so many of us are secretly dealing with.

And I’ve got to say, this conversation was SO eye-opening. Whether you’ve had kids or not, whether you’re in perimenopause or postmenopause, this is info every woman needs to hear.

Dr. Osansky is a chiropractor, clinical nutritionist, and certified functional medicine practitioner who overcame Graves’ disease using natural therapies. Now, he helps others do the same—specializing in both hyperthyroidism and hypothyroidism, along with autoimmune conditions like Hashimoto’s.

If you’re a woman over 40 dealing with unexplained fatigue, brain fog, stubborn weight gain, or hormonal chaos, this conversation is a must-listen. You'll learn what the thyroid actually does, how it connects to other systems like your liver and gut, and why your “normal” lab results might be hiding a much deeper issue.

What We Cover in This Episode:

• The vital role your thyroid plays in metabolism, hormones, and energy
• How thyroid dysfunction shows up (even when labs look normal)
• The difference between hyperthyroidism, hypothyroidism, Graves’ disease, and Hashimoto’s
• How your liver, gut, and immune system are all connected to thyroid health
• Natural treatment options and dietary strategies for Graves’ disease
• Why so many women are misdiagnosed—or never diagnosed at all

But what if I told you that old filling, root canal, or even just skipping floss isn’t just about your teeth—it could actually be what’s messing with your hormones, draining your energy, and keeping you stuck?

Today’s episode is going to blow your mind… and maybe have you calling your dentist.

(Or looking for a new one!)

In this episode we are chatting with Dr. Michelle Jorgensen, a trailblazer in the world of Biologic and Holistic Dentistry. She’s an author, speaker, and teacher who had to completely reinvent her career after discovering that her own dental work was making her dangerously sick.

And through her healing journey, she uncovered some of the shocking risks most of us never even consider when it comes to modern dentistry—things like mercury poisoning, hidden infections, root canals, and how they’re all connected to your hormones, your immune system, and even your gut.

Now, through her practice at Total Care Dental, she’s helping people from around the world get their health back—starting with their mouth.

Get our FREE guide to finally fix your metabolism!

Losing weight & getting healthy is never easy, but lately you might feel like it’s suddenly become impossible.

Our Flip the Switch guide will help you clearly understand what’s been going on, as well as exactly what you can do to get your metabolism working again so that you can look and feel your best—it’s easier and more simple than you think! Get it HERE.

Between the career pivots, the body changes, and the whirlwind of life, it’s easy to feel like we’ve somehow lost our spark.

But what if confidence isn’t something you're either born with or not… what if it’s something you can actually build—one intentional step at a time?

And what if reinvention isn't just possible at this stage of life—but actually easier because of everything you've already overcome?

Today’s guest, Karen Fabian, is showing us exactly how to do that—and trust me, you’re going to want to take notes.

Losing weight & getting healthy is never easy, but lately you might feel like it’s suddenly become impossible.

Our Flip the Switch guide will help you clearly understand what’s been going on, as well as exactly what you can do to get your metabolism working again so that you can look and feel your best—it’s easier and more simple than you think! Get it HERE.

But when I finally came home, I hadn’t actually gained any weight. 

It’s pretty crazy, especially when I realize that five years ago one little cheat meal would leave me three pounds heavier and spiraling with guilt for weeks. 

But the difference isn't willpower—it's metabolic flexibility. 

And once you understand what that actually means, everything about weight loss starts to make sense.

I talk a lot about all the things you can do to lose weight, but not nearly enough about the freedom that happens when you actually HEAL your body.

Because when I started doing all the research, I basically discovered that pretty much everything I'd ever been taught about losing weight was backwards. 

The calorie counting, the restriction, the willpower—all of it was actually making my problem worse. And the moment I stopped fighting my body and started working with it instead? That's when everything clicked.

And so today we're going to talk about why that whole approach is completely backwards. We're diving deep into metabolic flexibility—what it actually means, why it's the real game-changer for your health, and how you can stop fighting your body and start working with it instead.

By the end of this episode, you'll understand why every diet has failed you, what your body actually needs to burn fat efficiently, and how you can finally get the food freedom you've been dreaming about. 

Plus, I'm going to share something pretty exciting I'm launching that can help you put all of this into action for the last 90 days of this year.

So let’s dig in.

----------

​For the first time ever, I'm inviting you to join me behind the scenes as I plan and execute my most powerful Quarterly Sprint of the year — and design your own right alongside me.

Join me for The Finish Strong Project HERE.

Believe it or not, that matters even more.

Today’s guest is going to explain exactly why—and once you hear it, you’ll never look at your plate the same way again.

It’s easy to think about goals at the beginning of the year.

It’s that fresh start season, “new year, new you” and all that jazz.

Everyone’s talking about resolutions, so you do too.

And then promptly forget about them, come February or March. By the time summer hits, all those good intentions have been long forgotten, and then fall comes and almost feels like…what’s the point? 

The holidays are right around the corner, so you might as well wait until next year.

Right?

And I get it. But I don’t buy it. Because what I’ve learned over the past 15 years of being super intentional with my goals, is that 90 days is actually a long time.

Long enough to make real progress on anything you want for your life.

Long enough to see real results, but still short enough to keep you focused.

Even in the midst of a busy season.

And I believe that you have the power to make this your best quarter yet. Not next year. Not when life gets less crazy. Right now. 

This year, we’re not limping to the finish line. 

So let’s dive in.

You’ve tried meditating. You’ve cut the caffeine. You’ve even taken the supplements.

But what if the real problem is that your brain’s brakes aren’t working?

Today we’re diving into GABA—what it is, why it’s so often ignored, and how you can actually fix it without relying on a pill that doesn’t work.

We’re going to be chatting with Dr. Scott Sherr, a Board-Certified Internal Medicine Physician and expert in Health Optimization Medicine, and a total powerhouse when it comes to cutting-edge brain and body science.

And today’s topic is one that I honestly think every woman over 40 needs to understand—especially if you’ve ever struggled with anxiety, insomnia, depression, or brain fog. Because the truth is, a GABA deficiency might be at the root of all of it.

We’re unpacking what GABA is, why most clinicians never even test for it, and why GABA supplements don’t actually work the way you think they do. Plus, how you can naturally support your brain through food, lifestyle, and science-backed strategies.

This is such a good conversation, and I know you’re going to get so much out of it—so let’s get into it.

And whether it was your healthiest summer yet, or you found it hard to get out of vacation mode, there’s nothing quite like a change in season to bring fresh motivation and sometimes, a much-needed reset.

A lot of people like to save their goal-setting and resolutions for January, but I love to do it seasonally. Because why only focus on STARTING the year strong, when you can end strong too?

And that’s exactly what we’re going to talk about today.

You’re not alone.

But what if that inner criticism wasn’t the enemy—but a clue? What if those thoughts were actually your body’s way of asking for something deeper?

Today’s conversation is going to flip the script on everything you thought you knew about body image—and show you a completely different way forward.

You spend your whole day thinking about food but trying not to eat it.

It used to be so easy.

You’d cut back for a few days and be right back in your skinny jeans.

But now it feels like your metabolism is just…broken.

And here’s the bad news: Your metabolism IS broken.

But there is some good news too.

It doesn’t have to be broken forever.

But it will mean taking a different approach. And that’s exactly what we’re going to talk about today.

And suddenly, it's ALL you can think about—that donut you saw in the break room, or the pint of ice cream in your freezer, or the leftover halloween candy you hid from your kids.

Welcome to sugar addiction and—news flash—even if your cravings aren't for sweet things, but other high carb foods like bread or pasta or potato chips—it still comes down to sugar.

The good news is that there IS a way to break free and retrain your brain, which is why in this episode we're going to take a dive deep into the science of sugar addiction, and talk about what's really going on in your body and your brain when you consume sugar, and how you can use that knowledge to your advantage to actually RESET your brain and get off the sugar rollercoaster for good.

But what if the real secret to looking and feeling younger was actually... more laughter, more pleasure, and more endorphins?

Yeah. Today’s episode is gonna blow your mind—in the best way.

Your kids are watching. 

And I don't mean they're judging you—I mean they're learning from you. Every diet you go on, every time you beat yourself up about your body, every separate meal you make for yourself while feeding them something different—they're absorbing it all. 

And if you're like me, that realization might just be the wake-up call you need to finally ditch the diet mentality and create something that actually works for your whole family.

Or that it’s just what happens as you get older.

But what if I told you that the way you feel right now isn't how you're supposed to feel, even if you’re in your forties or fifties or beyond? 

The truth is that there's a big difference between surviving and thriving, and your body has nine very clear ways of telling you something’s off.

If that sounds familiar, especially if you’re over 40, today’s episode is going to connect a lot of dots. Because spoiler alert? It's never about willpower—it’s about how all the systems in your body are actually functioning. 

And there’s a real science to fixing it.

It might actually be what you’re wearing.

In this eye-opening episode of the Feel Better, Live Free podcast, I’m sitting down with Melita Cyril, founder of the skin-safe clothing brand Q for Quinn, to talk about something we never think enough about—our clothes.

Melita’s journey started with her son’s eczema and a desperate search for socks that wouldn’t irritate his skin. What she found instead was a fashion industry flooded with chemicals, synthetic fibers, and hormone-disrupting dyes—and it’s impacting way more than just sensitive skin.

We’re breaking down:

• What’s really lurking in synthetic fabrics (and how it messes with your hormones)
• The truth about “natural” fabrics like bamboo and modal
• How to start detoxing your wardrobe—without tossing everything you own
• And why organic cotton is more than just a buzzword

This is one of those conversations that will totally shift the way you think about what you wear—and how it could be affecting your health.

This raw, unfiltered conversation goes beyond the physical aspects of healing to explore the profound mindset shifts that happen when your body forces you to slow down.

So you take the supplements, cut the gluten, run the tests… and still feel like garbage.

But what if the real issue isn’t in your blood work… but in your brain?

If you’ve been stuck in chronic fatigue, autoimmune flare-ups, or mystery symptoms no one can fix, this episode might just change everything.

Today we’re chatting with the incredible Mel Hopper Koppelman, Program Director at Synthesis Health Lab and an absolute powerhouse when it comes to helping people recover from chronic illness—even after everything else has failed.

With over 15 years of clinical experience and two master’s degrees in acupuncture and nutrition, Mel has developed a revolutionary approach that combines Chinese medicine, functional medicine, and developmental neurology. Her methods have helped thousands of patients dramatically reduce their symptoms from conditions like fibromyalgia, autoimmune disease, and chronic fatigue—not by adding more pills and protocols, but by finally addressing the root of it all: the nervous system.

And if you’ve been feeling burned out, overwhelmed, or like you’re stuck in survival mode, this conversation is going to resonate deeply.

What if I told you it's not because you're doing it wrong—or that you're not trying hard enough—but because almost every weight loss plan is missing something HUGE?

Something that has nothing to do with what you eat or how much you exercise… and everything to do with how your brain has been wired to fail before you even begin.

Well buckle up friends, because today I'm going to reveal the one thing almost every weight loss plan gets wrong—and why this one shift might be the reason your results have never stuck.

Probably… never.

But here’s the thing: if your hormones are out of whack, if you’re struggling with perimenopause symptoms, or if weight loss feels impossible, your liver might be the missing piece.

And if you’re on bio-identical hormones? It’s even more important.

And in this episode, we’re breaking down exactly why.

When was the last time you caught your reflection and thought, "Damn, I look good!"?

If it's been a while, we need to talk. Because feeling hot—yes, HOT—isn't about hitting some magic number on the scale or looking like those filtered Instagram models who don't even look like themselves.

It's about how you show up in the world. It's about the energy you bring into a room. It's about the way you carry yourself when nobody's watching.

And today? I'm breaking down exactly how to step into your most confident, radiant, head-turning self—at ANY age.

Let's go!

----------

The women who succeed long-term, who actually lose the weight and keep it off, aren't just following a meal plan. They're thinking differently. They've mastered the mindset piece that so many of us struggle with.

And that's exactly what Unstoppable Weight Loss is designed to do. It's like having me as your personal mindset coach, walking you through every mental roadblock, every excuse, every self-sabotaging thought pattern that's kept you stuck.

I've been pouring my heart into this for months, and I can't wait to share it with you. We're going to be opening it up soon, but if you want to be first in line and get some special bonuses when we launch, make sure you get on the waitlist. Just go HERE to join the waitlist and be the first to know when doors open.

But how do you know whether those hormonal swings are normal, or something you should actually be concerned about?

And how do you make sure your hormones are actually HEALTHY?

That’s exactly what we’re talking about today.

So let’s dive in.

Our next LIVE 10 Day Sugar Detox Challenge starts Monday, April 28th, which means it’s also your last chance to do this challenge with us LIVE for another few months as we only host it live a few times a year, and this will be the last one until the fall.

I hope to see you there!

And in this special bonus episode we’re taking a deep dive into what transforming your life through adopting the Thinlicious lifestyle actually looks like, by sitting down to chat with another one of our amazing clients, Stephanie Molina.

Stephanie first joined our program in 2022 and successfully lost 35 pounds, then kept it off for more than two years. And then, like it does for so many of us, life happened.

But a bump in the road doesn’t have to mean a total derailment, and for Stephanie it hasn’t been. But as always, it’s better to hear her story in her own words.

Or maybe you've hidden candy wrappers at the bottom of the trash so nobody would know what you ate? Or sworn off sugar on Monday only to find yourself in the drive-thru by Wednesday, ordering a milkshake because "it's been a hard day"?

That was me for YEARS. And if you're nodding right now, if you've ever felt powerless around sugar, like it has more control over you than you have over it, then this episode is going to change everything for you. 

Because today, we're diving deep into why sugar feels impossible to quit, the science behind why willpower has never worked, and the exact system I used to break free from sugar addiction once and for all. No more failed attempts, no more shame spirals, no more starting over every Monday. Just freedom. Real, lasting freedom.

And there’s a good reason for that.

It’s basically impossible to talk about health and weight loss WITHOUT eventually talking about the gut, because it is SO central to our overall health and how we feel.

But when it comes to HEALING our gut, there are no simple answers.

It’s not just one thing. In fact, as today’s guest is going to explain, it’s not even all about food.

So let’s dive in.

What if the real trick isn’t willpower, but a few hard-earned lessons that actually stick?

Friends, today is my birthday, and that always puts me in a reflective sort of mood.

So I’m taking a look back at my health journey over the past four years, and some of the biggest lessons I’ve learned along the way.

Because let me tell you, there’s definitely some stuff I wish I’d figured out sooner.

And no matter where you’re at in your health journey right now, these seven lessons might just change everything for you too.

In fact, maybe right at this very minute, you’re listening to this podcast while you multitask a hundred other things, hoping that somehow better health will magically come through osmosis.

You keep meaning to slow down. You keep hoping to someday have a little more breathing room.

And so you keep telling yourself it’s not that bad.

Today’s podcast guest did the same thing. For years. And then a major health crisis forced her to reevaluate. And her story might just be the wake-up call you need as well.

And I suppose I can only speak for myself here, but there’s rarely a day that goes by that I’m not worried about SOMETHING, whether it’s my kids or something in my business or the dog not eating her dinner.

And a big thing I see my clients worrying about, especially when they’re new to my program, is the fact that for the first time in their lives, they’re being encouraged to eat MORE. And not only that, I’m telling them to eat foods that for most of their life, they’ve been told to stay away from—eggs, meat, cheese, butter.

So they start worrying that this new way of eating can’t possibly be HEALTHY.

They start worrying about things like calories, and fat, and cholesterol—convinced they’ll never lose weight & get healthy if they don’t.

And I understand why it happens. Because we’ve all been indoctrinated by decades of bad advice, and unfortunately it’s left us all a little bit scarred and scared of the wrong things.

And that’s why today, I wanted to take a deep dive into real research—to really dig into exactly why those fears are off-base, what’s actually holding you back when it comes to health, and how to break free with facts, not myths.

So buckle up, because this is a deep one. But I promise it won’t be boring.

And if you've been listening to this podcast for any length of time, then you've probably already picked up on the fact that I'm a little bit OBSESSED with hormones and the role they play in our overall health and well-being.

Because while I'm not a doctor, I am a woman who struggled with my weight for almost 10 years before I finally figured out that the real secret to sustainable weight loss was never cutting calories or getting more exercise, but just figuring out how to balance my hormones.

And it almost sounds way too simple to actually be true, but it is. And that's why today I just want want to get back to basics for a minute and talk about the BEST ways to get your hormones back on track, so that you can lose weight faster and easier.

Maybe it’s a job you hate, or a relationship you just can’t walk away from. 

Maybe it’s a business you’re no longer passionate about.

Maybe it’s a pattern of unhealthy habits you can’t seem to break.

But whatever it is, it feels impossible to change.

You don’t see a way out.

It’s not a good feeling. In fact, it can be terrifying.

But what if I told you that you might already have the solution, you’re just too afraid to see it right now.

And today’s episode might just give you the courage you need.

It's a lifestyle that has picked up more and more steam over the past few years, especially among health enthusiasts who often start out by just cutting out sugar and refined carbohydrates, but at some point decide to go all in on MEAT.

On the one hand, it makes life pretty simple, when you're eating nothing but meat and butter.

But is it really sustainable? And more importantly, is it actually good for you, especially long term?

That's exactly what we're going to talk about today.

It’s one of the biggest indicators of metabolic health, and NOT pooping well is a huge red flag for any number of gut and health issues.

But that doesn't mean that there's not a lot of other factors that can play into your ability to actually LOSE weight and keep it off. And today, I want to talk about one of those other factors—the one thing that I've seen time and time again that can be the difference between success and failure in your weight loss journey.

Because the truth is that even when you know EXACTLY what you need to do to lose weight, it's not always as easy as just flipping a switch and making it happen. And if you've been struggling to lose weight, or if you've lost weight in the past only to gain it all back, then you probably already know exactly what I'm talking about.

It's not a lack of knowledge that's holding you back. It's what's going on inside your head. It's your mindset. And that's what we're going to be diving into today.

Anna joined our program almost 3 years ago after spotting one of our Facebook ads. At that point, she had been trying and failing to lose weight for more than 30 years, and had pretty much given up hope.

But something about our program resonated with her, so she decided to give it a try. 3 years later, she’s not only lost more than 60 pounds, she’s completely transformed her mindset.

But, as always, it’s better to hear her talk about it in her own words.

Whether it's building a house, or figuring out how to organize your life or starting a brand new business, there are a million different situations in life where sometimes the thought of getting started becomes SO overwhelming that you end up getting totally paralyzed by indecision.

Every step feels like a mystery. It's scary. And confusing. And EXHAUSTING.

So you do nothing.

And those are the times in life where it's SO important to have a PLAN. A roadmap. A step-by-step set of instructions for exactly what to do. Because without it, you start feeling lost.

And the process of losing weight and getting healthy is no different. I think sometimes we think it should be so easy and so straightforward, but it's actually not

And so today, that's the gift I want to give you for the New Year--a step-by-step plan for reaching all of your health and weight loss goals in the next 12 months, so that you know EXACTLY what to do in what order, and what to expect along the way.

It might be the most practical episode I've ever recorded, and you'll probably want to take notes. So grab a piece of paper and let's dive in.

I think so often we take it for granted that we’re getting older, but don’t always realize how much we can do to make this midlife phase life easier, healthier, and more comfortable as we go through the inevitable changes that come with perimenopause and menopause.

But there actually is a LOT we can do, not just to improve our quality of life right now, but to keep our body strong and healthy for the next several decades.

And I'm not going to lie, Thanksgiving is probably my absolute favorite holiday, but when you're in the middle of a journey to lose weight and get healthy, it can also be a challenging time.

And while a couple of weeks ago I shared some helpful strategies for making it through the holiday season without going totally off the rails with your health plan, today I wanted to focus on a topic that can be challenging even when you THINK you have a good plan in place.

Food Pushers.

I think every family has at least one, and sometimes it's enough to make you want to scream, right?

In fact, it can make sticking to your healthy eating plan feel almost impossible, which is why in today's episode, I want to talk about how to handle those situations with grace and confidence, and without losing your mind.

When you consider that women make up 50% of the population this is a SIGNIFICANT amount of time for a topic that gets largely ignored.

So why is that? And as women, what can we do to take more control of this piece of our life that has such a huge impact on our quality of life, even when no one’s really talking about it?

That’s exactly what we’re talking about today as we dive in with bestselling author and menopause expert, Dr. Liz Lyster

Amanda actually joined our program pretty recently, in August 2024, after being prescribed Ozempic by her doctor, but knowing that she did not want to be stuck taking drugs for the rest of her life. She first found this podcast, and after a few months of listening, decided to join the program.

Now she’s not only been able to completely get off of Ozempic, she’s already lost an additional 17 pounds and she’s only just getting started!

And yet, the thought of heading into January with an extra 10 or 15 pounds of holiday guilt doesn't sound all that great either. 

So what's the solution? 

Is it REALLY possible to fully enjoy the holiday season without totally going off the rails?

I say yes...As long as you start with a GAME PLAN.

That’s what I thought too, until I spent some time talking to today’s podcast guest, Dr. Carolyn Dean.

Dr. Dean is one of the country’s foremost experts in magnesium and the impact it can have on your health, and I gotta tell ya—what she has to share is pretty compelling.

And the best part is? It’s SO simple.

In this special bonus episode we’re taking a deep dive into what transforming your life through adopting the Thinlicious lifestyle actually looks like, by sitting down to chat with one of our amazing clients—and now TAS Certified Coach—Kim Jenkins.

Kim joined our program in 2023 after thinking about it for a long time, yet always thinking that it wasn’t really something she needed. Until she realized that she actually did.

But, as always, it’s better to hear her talk about it in her own words...

And this is actually not an easy question to answer, because one thing I had to deal with, and something I know a lot of my clients have had to deal with also, is the disapproval of other people when you actually starting seeing some success with your health and weight loss goals.

I had lots of people tell me, "you're too obsessive," "can't you take a break," "you've lost too much weight," "this can't be healthy" and so on and so on. And I know many women in my program have heard those same kind of remarks, when in fact they're finally just taking control of their life and their health in a really positive way.

So where is the line between a determined health journey and an unhealthy obsession?

That's exactly what we're going to talk about today.

Or maybe anticipating potentially sticky situations before they even happen, just to keep everyone else happy?

Do you worry about things that are outside of your control?

If the answer to any of those questions was yes, there’s a good chance that you’re a high-functioning codependent without even realizing it.

And it’s impacting your life–and your health in a big way.

Believe me, after chatting with today’s podcast guest, Teri Cole, I was shocked to realize just how much my codependent behavior is affecting my own life, and if you’re anything like me, this might be the episode you didn’t realize you NEEDED to hear.

Like so many others, this program has changed her life.

Why is it so much easier for my husband to lose weight?

Can I drink alcohol and still see results?

What are the absolute worst things to eat that I should avoid at all costs?

What if I'm a vegetarian?

Oh, the questions! Honestly, if I had a dollar for every question I've gotten since creating Thinlicious two and a half years ago, I could probably retire on a private island somewhere—they never stop coming!

But I get it, because I had a lot of the same questions too.

And so today, for something totally different, I thought I'd devote an entire episode to answering some of the biggest questions that I get asked over and over about losing weight and getting healthy, and about our program, just in case you've been wondering too.

The aches and pains, the gray hairs, the laugh lines and dry skin.

And that’s only the beginning.

But what if there was actually a way to REVERSE the aging process and get your body looking and feeling younger than you have in years.

And what if the solution was as simple as healing your gut microbiome?

That’s exactly what we’re diving into with today’s podcast guest, Dr. Roshini Raj. She is a board-certified gastroenterologist, as well as the founder of TULA Skincare. And she has some amazing insight to share on this topic!

If it's up right now, I can promise you that you are definitely NOT alone!

And honestly, it's not really that surprising when you think about it.

Between the vacations and the disruptions in your normal routine, it's easy to get off track.

But that doesn't mean you have to STAY off track.

And since Labor Day has now come and gone, and autumn is right around the corner, I thought this would be the perfect time to talk about a few super practical things you can do to, first of all, let go of any guilt and shame you might be feeling and instead set yourself up for success with healthier habits this fall.

Because the truth is that it's not always easy to get back on the wagon if you feel like you've totally blown it, but it IS possible to get yourself back to a place where you're feeling healthy and energized and motivated.

So hopefully this is the episode that will help you do just that.

It’s a topic that comes up a lot on this podcast, and yet it’s still not a condition that is widely understood, or even talked about at large.

So what’s actually going on? How do you know whether you are in fact insulin resistant? What are the risks if you are? And what can you do about it?

That’s exactly what we’re talking about in today’s super in-depth episode as we sit down with Dr. Morgan Nolte. And it’s definitely an episode that every woman who cares about their health NEEDS to listen to.

Maybe more than once.

And it's all pretty important, right?

But have you ever wondered WHY we even need to talk about it in the first place?

Why is obesity such a huge problem?

Why are 80% of adults in the US now considered overweight, when that wasn't the case 100 years ago, or even 50 years ago?

Why DO we get fat?

And why are we getting fatter?

What's actually happening?

That's EXACTLY what we're diving into today, and I'll warn you right now that this is one of those nerdy episodes where we dig a little deeper into the science and into the research.

But it's important so bear with me, because your mind is about to be blown.

And when your sister or your cousin or your neighbor down the street suddenly shows up 30 pounds lighter, it’s hard not to be tempted to jump on board.

Or maybe you’ve already started taking one of the new weight loss drugs. And even though you were worried about the potential side effects, you haven’t experienced any of the really bad ones, so you figure it’s no big deal.

Especially when even your doctor is saying it’s fine.

But what if there’s something they’re not telling you?

That’s just ONE of the big topics I’m diving into today with my guest Amy Wilson. She’s a certified health and fitness coach, as well as a geriatric pharmacist, which means she brings a unique perspective to this hot button topic!  

And what she has to share today is SO important for women in their 40’s and 50’s that after listening, you might just want to share it with everyone you know.

But I’ll let you decide.

It sometimes keeps us from trying at all, makes us self-sabotage even when we do try.

And it comes up a LOT.

It's also a phenomenon that has fascinated me for a long time—so much so that I spent more than TWO YEARS researching all the ways that fear holds us back and surveying more than 4,000 women, and then wrote a book about it called Do It Scared.

And while these days I spend a lot of my time helping women over 40 lose weight and get healthy, I've found that that underlying fear issue never really goes away.

It holds us back from reaching our health goals in many of the same ways it holds us back from a lot of other things in life.

And so today, I wanted to talk about that. How to overcome your fear of failure and actually take control of your health for good. I want to talk about why that fear happens and what it looks like, and most importantly what you can actually do about it.

It's a powerful topic, and one I hope has a lasting impact on you, maybe even in more ways than just your health. So let's dig in!

And what’s the difference between menopause and perimenopause?  

And how do you know you’re in it?

More importantly what can you actually do to make it through this change of life more comfortably?

Those are all the questions we’re answering on today’s episode, and I’m telling you right now–you’re going to love our guest expert, Dr. Kate Naumes.

She’s a Naturopathic doctor and menopause specialist who also happens to be woman over 40 just like us, which means she brings a unique perspective to her practice.

And what she has to share today is SO interesting and practical and relevant to every single one of us, and I can’t wait for you to dig into this fascinating interview!

EDIT: In the podcast Dr. Kate said:“For women aged younger than *60 years or who are within 10 years of menopause onset and have no contraindications, the benefit-risk ratio is favorable for the treatment of bothersome VMS and prevention of bone loss.”
But she meant to say: “…younger than 65* years…”

If that's you, then you're definitely not alone. Because as a society, we've become so accustomed to feeling tired and run down all the time that we've started to think it's normal. 

And yet, it's not normal. It's not normal to be constantly exhausted, or to need caffeine or sugar to get you through the day, or to feel like you're just not living up to your full potential because you don't have the energy to do all the things you want to do.

And that's why in today's episode, I want to talk about energy. I want to talk about why so many of us over 40 struggle to have enough of it, and what you can do to change that. Because the good news is that there ARE things you can do to increase your energy levels and start feeling more alive and vibrant every single day. 

You just have to know where to start.

Oh sure it would probably be great to lose a little weight or look good in your skinny jeans, but what if there was a way to just make your body feel GOOD again.

No more sore muscles or aches and pains. No more digestive issues. No more bloating or gas.

And then what if I told you it might be possible to have all that without even changing the way you eat?

Do I have your attention yet?

It's a term that gets thrown around a lot, especially as we get older, but how often do we actually stop to think about what's really going on with our hormones, or the function they serve in our body?

And as much as we make jokes about being "hormonal," how do you actually KNOW whether your hormones are out of whack?

And even if you suspect there's something going on, what are you supposed to do about it?

The truth is that for women over 40, hormones are a big deal.

And yet most of us don't really know all that much about them, what they do, or how to even recognize the signs that something is amiss.

And so today, we're going to talk about it.

We're taking a deep dive into all things hormones—and specifically the big signs of hormonal imbalance that you might have missed, along with what you can actually do about it.

In fact, I talk about it so much at home that my husband and our friends have turned it into a drinking game.

And no, I’m not kidding.

But I can’t help myself because it is a HUGELY important topic that is SO critical to our overall health, especially if you’re a woman over 40 who’s trying to lose weight and get healthy.

And if you’re excited to learn more about how to keep your gut healthy, you are going to LOVE today’s podcast guest, Megan Lyons.

Like really thought about it?

Because I think most of us, at least on some level, probably realize that sugar is not great.

But it's also pretty easy to not really think about how much sugar you're actually consuming on a daily basis.

Or what all that sugar is actually doing to your body.

Or the fact that if you're like most people, you're actually addicted to sugar and you don't even realize it....even if you think you don't have a sugar problem.

And that's why in today's episode I wanted to take a deep dive into all things sugar, including some of the not-so-obvious signs that you might be eating too much, but also what it actually means to DETOX your body from sugar, and what kind of an impact that can have on your health.

It's definitely a meaty episode with LOTS of practical takeaways, but my hope is that it will inspire you to take action.

For those of us with kids still at home, that usually means relief from the crazy grind of the busy school year, but also a change in routine that can sometimes feel just as chaotic as that last intolerable month of school.

But even if you don't have kids at home, there's something about summer that just changes the vibe, whether it's the longer days or the warmer weather or the vacations planned.

It's a time to kick back and relax, to spend more time with friends and family, and to just enjoy life a little bit more.

Right?

And for many of us the thought of "just enjoying life" is usually synonymous with "not worrying about what I eat or drink, and throwing caution to the wind."

But what if this year it wasn't?

What if I told you that this could be the summer that you not only ENJOY your life and the best that summer has to offer, but that you ALSO focused on your health, and on looking and feeling your absolute best so that your FUTURE summers look even better?

I promise it's not impossible. And that's why in today's episode I don't just want to convince you to make this the summer of YOU, I'm going to give you the ultimate roadmap to actually make it happen.

Honestly, it's why I'm not a big fan of traditional medicine and why I always recommend looking for a functional doctor who's committed to looking at the big picture and your health as a whole.  And for today's podcast guest, Risa grew an experience very much like the one I just described is exactly what led her down the path of functional nutrition and into a career of helping people heal their bodies through nutrition.

And what she discovered is so interesting and relevant to every single one of us that I cannot wait for you to dig into today's episode.

Shelby's a homesteading expert and the founder of Garden Farm Thrive. And we are going to be talking to her about the insane health scare that changed her whole perspective on homesteading. And on the food that we eat, it's so good. You're not even going to believe what's happened to her.

I do, especially when I think about how much time and energy I wasted doing all the wrong things, or about how many mistakes I made, and how much frustration I could have avoided, had I only known THEN what I know now.

And while there's a part of me that understands that sometimes we just need to learn things the hard way, I also think there's something incredibly valuable about sharing those lessons, those mistakes, and those reflections in the hope that someone else can learn from them.

And maybe, just maybe, your journey will be a little easier as a result.

And that's why in today's episode, as we celebrate our one year anniversary of this podcast and our two year anniversary of launching Thinlicious into the world, I thought it would be fun to take a look back and share some of the biggest things not only I wish I would have known as I was starting my weight loss journey, but also the things our most successful clients wish they would have known as well.

And whether you're just getting started on your health and weight loss journey, or you're well on you're way, I guarantee this episode is going to inspire you, encourage you, and motivate you to make those lasting changes in your own life.

Are you ready to lose weight and heal your body for life (without dieting, drugs, or making yourself miserable)?

Our free on-demand video training will walk you through how to make this THE year you set health goals…and keep them. Access our free video training HERE.

It's one of those phrases we've all heard said a million times, and yet how often do we really think about what that actually means, especially when reaching for a bag of potato chips or that Ben & Jerry's hidden deep in your freezer?

On a practical, day-to-day level, it can be hard to process the stark reality that the food we're consuming is directly related to our health and how we feel.

Because in the moment, our stomachs typically override our brain.

And that's exactly what the food industry is banking on.

Because it's not actually our stomach that's doing the thinking.

It's the part of our brain that craves the dopamine hit those chips or ice cream provide.

But what if I told you that there are even more shocking secrets that the food industry is keeping from us? Secrets that not only make us spend more money, but that have directly created a worldwide epidemic of obesity, insulin resistance, and disease.

Frankly it's a topic they DON'T want us to be talking about, but on this podcast we're not afraid to tackle hard truths.

And that's why in today's episode, we're taking a deep dive into the dirtiest secrets the food industry doesn't want you to know, so you can avoid falling into their trap.

Are you ready to lose weight and heal your body for life (without dieting, drugs, or making yourself miserable)?

It's a phrase we hear a lot, but not always one we're super good at following through on, even when we're trying to eat healthy.

Because the reality is that the Standard American Diet most of us are used to eating is shockingly low in protein, and often even the foods we THINK are high in protein actually aren't.

And that means that there's a very good chance most of us are walking around with a protein deficiency without even realizing it.

So how much protein do you actually need?

And how do you know you're getting enough?

That's exactly what we're diving into in today's episode--why protein is such an essential piece of a healthy diet, the signs that you're not getting enough protein, and what you can do about it.

You're definitely not alone.

And honestly, I think it's because so much of the information we've been given about what's actually healthy and what's not is just plain wrong.

Because the truth is that there are a LOT of so-called "healthy" foods out there that are actually really bad for us.

They're full of sugar and artificial ingredients and all sorts of other junk that is totally wreaking havoc on our bodies, and especially on our gut health.

And gut health is a big deal. It's actually one of the most important factors in your overall health and well-being, and it's something that has a HUGE impact on your ability to lose weight and keep it off.

So today, I want to dive into this topic of gut health, and specifically talk about some of the more surprising foods that most of us think of as healthy, that are in reality wrecking your gut and wreaking havoc on your health.

And honestly, I think that's a hard bias to overcome.

Because for YEARS, we were told that fat was bad for us, that it clogged our arteries and made us gain weight, that it was the root cause of all of our health problems. 

And as a result, food manufacturers went out of their way to create low-fat and fat-free versions of all of our favorite foods, and we all went along with it, believing that we were making healthier choices.

But here's the thing: it turns out that was all a bunch of nonsense. 

In fact, if you've been listening to this podcast for any amount of time, then you've probably heard me talk about why fat is actually GOOD for you. 

You've heard me talk about how it's our body's preferred source of fuel, and it's what helps to metabolize and stabilize your hormones, and how eating more healthy fats and fewer processed carbohydrates can help you lose weight and improve your overall health in SO many ways.

But if that's true, then which fats ARE good for you?

How do you know which ones to include in your diet and which ones to avoid? And how do you know which fats are actually going to help balance your hormones the way you need them to?

That's exactly what we're going to be diving into in today's episode—the ultimate guide to hormone-friendly healthy fats, and what you need to know about how they affect your health.

It doesn't care what size jeans you want to fit into, or what the number on the scale says, or whether or not you're finally ready to wear a bikini this summer.

But your body does have a goal.

And that goal, more than anything else, is to SURVIVE.

Your body's primary purpose is SELF-PRESERVATION.

To keep your heart pumping and your brain working and your blood flowing through your veins.

And that might not seem all that relevant, but that's actually why, for so many of us, losing weight feels like an uphill battle. It's not because we're weak, or because we don't have enough willpower, or because we're just not trying hard enough.

It's because our bodies are literally working against us.

They're fighting to hold onto every last ounce of fat, and they're driving us to consume more and more calories to keep us alive.

We're basically fighting an invisible war against our own biology, and most of us don't even realize it.

So today, we're going to do something about that.

We're going to dive deep into the science of weight loss so that you can fully understand what's REALLY happening in your body when you try to lose weight, which will probably ALSO help you understand why so much of what you've tried—and all the expert advice you've always heard—hasn't worked.

It's going to be fun, and I think really eye-opening. So get ready. Because once you see the light, you can't unsee it.

Believe me, I get it.

After all, it's one thing to KNOW you're not really eating as well as you could be, or that you blew it over the weekend, or that you're just not trying all that hard.

But it's a whole different level of frustration when you actually ARE putting in the effort, and yet the scale doesn't reflect it.

And while on some level we probably know that getting healthy for life isn't JUST about the number on the scale, it's still tends to be the thing we focus on—the number that we use to measure whether we're actually making progress toward our goal.

 So why is it that some of us seem to have SO much success so quickly, while others have to fight for every single pound? 

And is there anything you can do to make it easier?

That's exactly what we're going to talk about in today's episode—the big reasons you may be struggling to lose weight, even when you're doing everything right, and a few things you can try.

Are you ready to lose weight and heal your body for life (without dieting, drugs, or making yourself miserable)?

Our free on-demand video training will walk you through how to make this THE year you set health goals…and keep them. Access our free video training HERE.

But what if I told you that's not actually true?

And what if I told you that the whole point of HEALING YOUR BODY from the inside out—the very thing I talk about over and over again on this podcast, is to get you to a place where you actually feel FREE.

TRULY free.

Free to indulge if and when you really want to, but not beholden to food addictions.

Free to enjoy the best of EVERYTHING life has to offer, without going back into that shame spiral.

Free to look and feel your absolute best all the time, and to actually trust the signals your body is giving you?

Free to think about something OTHER than food all the time.

Because it occurred to me recently that as much time as I spend on this podcast talking about the problem and the solution, I don't actually spend a lot of time talking about what it actually LOOKS like to finally be free. 

What it actually looks like, day to day, to know your body has been healed, that you've reversed your insulin resistance and balanced your hormones and restored your gut health, and that your metabolism is actually working the way it should.

And maybe if I talked about that more, taking the steps to actually get to that point wouldn't feel quite so scary.

So today, let's talk about it.

In fact, I seriously considered calling this episode, "Why Oprah is full of [you know what!]," but I thought that might not make it past the censors.

Yep, I really just said that.  I told you it was gonna be spicy!

Because I don't know about you, but I recently watched Oprah’s big weight loss special and I have a LOT of thoughts.

In case you missed it, let me fill you in: The special was called, "Shame, Blame, and the Weight Loss Revolution," and for lack of a better word, it was literally just an hour-long infomercial for Ozempic and other weight loss drugs.

Her "revolution" was that Ozempic is awesome, and that everyone--including KIDS apparently--should take it without hesitation, nevermind the fact that it's ridiculously expensive, comes with a ton of scary side effects, and you have to keep taking it for LIFE or you'll gain all your weight back.

Suffice to say, I was not a fan.  Honestly, the whole thing made me feel sick, knowing just how many women love and adore Oprah, and trust her to give them what they think is good advice.

Because this was not good advice.  And today, I want to talk about why.

Okay maybe not, but as I get ready to celebrate my 46th birthday this week, I contend that there IS definitely a whole lot of life left after 40. 

In fact, I think I'd even go so far as to say this is my favorite decade so far! 

And so in celebration of my birthday and hopefully aging gracefully, I thought today I’d share a few of my favorite things about life in my 40s—the things that honestly have surprised me.

 And whether you're in your 40's, 50's, or beyond, I’ll be curious to know whether you agree.

Maybe you've heard me say things like weight loss isn't really about calories, it's about hormones, and that if you really want to lose weight, you've got to stop focusing on the same old tired advice to "eat less and exercise more," and instead get your hormones to start functioning the way they were MEANT to function.

And it’s true that hormonal health plays a massive role in pretty much every aspect of our overall health and wellbeing, from our energy levels, to our mood, to our ability to lose weight and keep it off.

But even if you've heard me talk about hormones in a general sense, you might still be wondering what they actually are, how they work, and how you can get your own hormones to start working FOR you, rather than against you.

And that's why in today’s episode, I wanted to take a deep dive into hormones—and more specifically the #1 hormone you need to be worried about if you're trying to lose weight and get healthy, along with some practical steps you can take to start activating your body's intrinsic fat-burning power.

If you’ve been listening to this podcast for a little while, or if you get our weekly email newsletter, you’ve probably heard me use that term before. 

But have you ever wondered what it actually means?

Or, more importantly, whether it actually applies to you?

ARE you a Health Rebel?  

That’s exactly what today’s episode is going to help you find out.

And by that, I mean, raise your hand if you like to do things RIGHT.

If you're going to take on something new, you don't want to take any chances that you could be getting it wrong.

And if you're going to focus on losing weight, you're going to follow ALL the rules and do ALL the things.

Count your calories. Check.

Exercise. Check.

Drink lots of water. Check.

Totally obsess over the number on the scale. Check.

Think about food all the time. Check.

I mean, that's what dieting is, right?  It's misery. It's suffering. It's equal parts discipline and deprivation.

And if you can just keep checking off ALL the boxes and doing the right things, you're bound to see results.

Right?!!

But what if you don't?  What if you feel like you've been doing ALL THE THINGS, but the scale just won't budge?

What are you doing wrong?

Well, there's a really good chance that you're making one very big, and very common, mistake in your weight loss journey--one that I don't think really gets talked about.

In fact, it's probably a mistake that you're not even aware you're making at all.

But today, that's exactly what we're going to cover—what I think is the number one weight loss mistake that no one's talking about.

What if told you it was something bigger than that?

Something a LOT more sinister?

What if I told you that the reason you've probably struggled—maybe even your WHOLE LIFE—is because Big Food and Big Pharma have literally been conspiring against you.

They want you sick and fat, because it's in their best interest, not yours.

And they're very, very good at what they do.

Well then buckle up friends, because this is the episode where I put it all on the line.

Because frankly, it's time to talk about what's REALLY going on.

It’s annoying right? 

Believe me, I get it. In fact when I think back to all the million and one diets that I tried before I was finally able to actually lose weight and get healthy FOR LIFE, the number one reason I failed was because I was just too damn hungry all the time!

And frankly, who has time to be thinking about food all the time? I certainly didn’t.

And so, inevitably I’d always end up giving in and falling off the wagon and eating the whole bag of Doritos or the entire tub of ice cream I knew was stashed at the bottom of the freezer.

But have you ever stopped to think about what’s ACTUALLY going on to make you feel so hungry?

Because, believe it or not, all hunger is not created equal. And if you’re ready to get serious about changing your habits, then it’s important to understand what’s actually going on, so that you can also better understand how to respond.

That’s why in today’s episode I’m going to walk you through the 7 different types of hunger and explain not only how to identify them, but what to actually do about it when that craving strikes.

It's true!

And not only that, but consciously cultivating happiness and joy in your life on a daily basis, especially in the midst of a world that can seem pretty dark and depressing most of the time, be truly transformative for your health, your relationships, and your overall well-being.

Happy people live longer. They're more attractive. They have more fun.

So I guess the question we need to ask is HOW. How can you be happier, right where you are?

How can you be happier when there's so much about life that ISN'T all sunshine and roses?

How can you be happier TODAY?

And that's exactly what today's episode is all about. We're taking a deep dive into the science of happiness—what it is and why it's so important—and sharing some simple strategies for actually increasing your happiness levels and feeling more joy in your everyday life.

We spend a good chunk of our weeks feeling stretched to the max and overwhelmed by the sheer number of tasks still left undone on that neverending list of things to do.

Half the time we're running on adrenaline and can't turn off our brain, and the other half we just want to crawl into a ball and just veg out to get away from the constant flow of thoughts and worries and things we need to take care of.

And if you're feeling this way right now, I promise you—you're definitely not alone.

But just because all this ongoing stress and anxiety is COMMON, doesn't mean it's okay.

In fact, when it comes to our health, chronic stress is pretty devastating because high cortisol—also known as the stress hormone—can set off a chain reaction of hormonal imbalance in our bodies that affects everything else we do.

And so it begs the question—exactly how stressed are you, really?

Should you be concerned? How do you know if your cortisol is too high? 

And what can you do about it?

That's exactly what we're talking about today.

I know for SO many women, this is a huge struggle, and honestly, it's something I sometimes struggle with too.

Because let's be real—it's hard to stay motivated when it doesn't feel like you're getting anywhere. It's hard to stay motivated when you're constantly surrounded by people who are NOT working towards the same goals and maybe not that supportive of yours. It's hard to stay motivated when things don't immediately go the way you wish they would.

And the truth is, when you're just getting started towards any big goal, the road ahead can feel long. It can feel overwhelming. It can seem impossible. It can even feel hopeless or like it's not worth it.

But what if I told you that the reason you're struggling with motivation and the reason it feels so hard to stay motivated actually has NOTHING to do with motivation at all? What if I told you that deep down, there's something else getting in your way?

That's exactly what we're going to be talking about today.

That means that if you have already found yourself getting off track, then at least know that you're in good company.

But that DOESN'T mean it's time to give up.

Instead, this is the perfect time to take a step back and look at some of your daily habits and routines—habits that are sometimes hard to break—and look at what where you might be inadvertently sabotaging yourself without even realizing it.

And the first place that often happens is in your morning routine—your first few hours of the day. Because typically you either set yourself up for a successful day, or you derail the train before it's even left the station, and you spend the rest of your day trying to get back on track.

And that's why in today's episode, I want to take a deep dive into morning routines and talk about some of the most common mistakes we tend to make, as well as a few things you can do instead to start your day off on the right foot.

And suddenly, it's ALL you can think about—that donut you saw in the break room, or the pint of ice cream in your freezer, or the leftover halloween candy you hid from your kids.

Welcome to sugar addiction and—news flash—even if your cravings aren't for sweet things, but other high carb foods like bread or pasta or potato chips—it still comes down to sugar.

The good news is that there IS a way to break free and retrain your brain, which is why in this episode we're going to take a dive deep into the science of sugar addiction, and talk about what's really going on in your body and your brain when you consume sugar, and how you can use that knowledge to your advantage to actually RESET your brain and get off the sugar roller coaster for good.

And that's scary for all of us, but it's ESPECIALLY frustrating when you're wanting to commit to a healthier lifestyle but it honestly feels like you might have to take out a 2nd mortgage just to afford your grocery bill.

Is there really a way to eat healthy AND still keep your food budget in check?

I say yes, and in today's episode, my goal is to prove it to you.

Like no matter how much you want to eat healthier or get serious about losing weight, there's always something that's holding you back? And maybe that something isn't even logical or rational, but it's something that feels so much bigger and stronger than you that it's literally impossible to resist.

And so you end up in this vicious cycle where you vow to do better and cut back and stay on track, only to find yourself right back at square one, feeling like an utter and complete failure because you just don't have the willpower to stick with it.
