Listen in to hear the mistakes I made at first, my journey with getting a diagnosis (and being told there was "no cure" for PCOS), and how I addressed my blood sugar and inflammation levels. Thanks for listening, subscribing, rating, and sharing the show! It h...

I also go over some foods that have been touted as being really healthy but in my opinion, don't hold up. Here's the Canola Oil video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Cfk2IXlZdbI (gross!)

This is the first episode in a two part series all about Diabetes. About half of the adults in the United States have Prediabetes or Diabetes, but about a quarter of those individuals don't know they have it! How can this be?! It's not the fault of the individuals; we have a broken system. My goal is to help you learn what having dysregulated blood sugar feels like and looks like so then you can start taking steps to improve your blood sugar and insulin levels. Blood sugar is a spectrum. One one...

This episode is near and dear to my heart. I have struggled with my weight for just about my entire life. This episode is not meant to shame or judge anyone who is overweight. We need to love our bodies at all stages of our journey. However, I know what it's like to feel like you're "doing everything right" and the scale won't budge. I've actually been in a situation where I was eating well and exercising and not only was I not losing weight, I was actually GAINING! It was so heartbreaking and d...

Fasting is the oldest dietary intervention ever used. It is a practice used in every single major world religion. Fasting is the opposite of feasting. Fasting is free, convenient, flexible, and powerful. It is where we step aside and give our body a chance to heal itself. When we cut our skin, we don't need to do anything for our skin to heal. Our body immediately begins healing. Yes, we might put on a band-aid to avoid dirt from entering the wound, but we essentially are getting out of the body...

Today's topic is digestion. Most people don't think about what happens when food goes in your mouth. We don't just eat because it tastes good and then it comes out the other end. Digestion is an intricate process and proper digestion is so essential for optimal health. But digestion is not one process. There are so many steps in the digestive process and if just one thing goes wrong, it will negatively affect every step that follows. Digestion is a root cause of so many issues so it's essential ...

There is tons of misinformation out there about keto and I want to clear some of that up on this episode. This episode is an overview of the Ketogenic Diet (aka "Keto Diet"). I go ...
