We could not wait for you to hear Marissa’s story. She’s a mama of two who has walked through a lot and come out the other side with so much wisdom and hope. From growing up with drive-thru dinners to battling sugar addiction, from the exhaustion of early motherhood to finding out she had underlying genetic challenges like double MTHFR, her journey is powerful. After a traumatic first birth left her depleted and stuck in the diet cycle, Marisa knew she needed a change. She shares how she broke f...

Today we’re discussing women’s health from the teen years all the way into the golden years. We get to the root of why so many girls and women are struggling with body image, low energy, irregular cycles, and broken identities. We cover it all: the dangers of undereating and calorie obsession in teen girls, how birth control may be messing with hormones and mental health more than we realize, and the critical need for healthy fats, carbs, protein, and strength training, no matter your age or sta...

Heather opens up about her journey through anorexia, binge eating and pregnancy loss. She takes us back to a time when her identity was wrapped up in the number on the scale, and how that scale held power over her until God led her to freedom through the Trim Healthy way. Heather shares about how she has discovered this lifestyle isn’t just abou...

Cindy’s journey started at 444 pounds — carrying not just the weight of her body, but the emotional burden of childhood trauma, constant bullying, and a lifetime of failed diets. She had tried it all: Keto, Paleo, Weight Watchers, even running in place at 12 years old in a plastic sauna suit. Nothing worked — until she was gifted a Trim Healthy Mama book and found Coach Amy. That was the moment things started to change. This time, Cindy didn’t just diet. She fueled her body with purpose. She gav...

Heather found herself 60 pounds heavier and stuck in a cycle of sugar addiction. After three pregnancies and the emotional and physical rollercoaster that came with them… her breakthrough finally came after baby number three. This time, she approached THM with intention—studying the principles, taking them seriously, and embracing the truth behind them. The result? Rapid (but sustainable) fat-loss and a total shift in how she viewed her body. Heather discovered that control isn’t a dirty word—it...

Today, she joins us to chat about the confidence that comes from small, consistent changes—just like the 1% progress model from Atomic Habits.

What would happen if we set down sugar for 40 days? Back in 2014, Wendy began—with an organic movement—asking herself and other women this very question… And the movement caught on! The thousands who joined her realized part way into it that this wasn’t just about a health fast– it was a spiritual fast. Wendy and her friends were faced with the fact that they’d been going to sugar for comfort, instead of going to God. Rather than going from sugar-high to sugar-high, it was time to turn back to t...

The Meat: What is the gist of what we’ve been saying the last couple of years? Bring back the hormones (BRHT): The health fat loss can take time, when you’re on BHRT. Sometimes you gain first, when you’re on estrogen, for instance. Get the carbs back (Celebrate Carbs!): When your metabolism is healing, there’s a bit of bounce back. You gain some weight, and then will lose later. Trust the process. Eat your protein (25 grams per meal): The muscle to fat ratio is changing when you start increasing...

Sometimes we need reminders in the most basic ways… and today we’re back to the most basic reminder. We gotta talk about it… Sugar. People tell us all the time how they feel addicted to sugar. Sugar is the villain in the story of epigenetics. It actually exploits all of the bad things in your genetics! If there is one real “bad guy” – it is white, refined SUGAR. It can cause decay in emotions, in relationships, in your mind. Yes, there are foundational issues that it causes – insulin spikes, chr...

The Banter: No show socks for men… yes or no? Team Serene against or pro? The Meat: Supplements and how or do they matter? Over the years doing this Trim Healthy thing we started developing a few different supplement lines. This happened a number of times with different companies. But we had to stop the process every time. We felt like we were just going through the motions to launch supplements (like a sexy multivitamin) and they wouldn’t really help people (even though they could make our comp...

The Meat: It’s time to call a spade a spade. We used to avoid calling certain foods “bad”… too triggering we were told. But times up on all that. Some foods are bad… let’s call them what they are… in fact we’ll go a step further and call them DECEPTIVE. Because, in fact, they’re not food at all. In this poddy, we determine what is food and what is not and set the record straight. Superfood Spotlight: Today we discuss the benefits of BEANS.

We’re jumping into the very important topic of how your significant other influences your health journey. This is a really personal topic, but it’s important to talk about. Charlie (Pearl’s hubby), for instance, is actually allergic to “organic” and “fresh” things. He doesn’t have the best instance. And he’s happy with the curves. Sam (Serene’s hubby), on the other hand has a little bit more warmth toward healthy food. He goes with the flow. How much do we let our husband influence our Healthy j...

What age does muscle decline start? Every year after 30, but it starts to escalate in the mid-30s. But even a young person that’s sitting in the house with a device all day can be in decline... we experienced it early because we were vegan, and our muscles began to decline. But what does muscle and insulin resista...
