Apr 22, 202634 min

41: The Twins Are ONE! Reflections On 1 Year of Motherhood 🎂

In this episode, I’m reflecting on my first year of twin motherhood - what surprised me, what stretched me, and how my perspectives have changed along the way. I thought having twins would be about logistics and efficiency. Instead, it’s been a year of surrender, humility, and learning my limits in a way I never have before. I’m sharing honest, nuanced thoughts on some of the most talked-about (and sometimes controversial) topics in motherhood - from birth and sleep to feeding, vaccines, and child spacing - along with the deeper lessons underneath all of it.

38: Joy As The Key To Healing (And My 2026 Word of the Year!)

37: Oxytocin, Touch, and the Chemistry of Connection 🧸 🧪

In this episode, I explore oxytocin, the hormone and neuropeptide at the center of bonding, attachment, stress regulation, and healing. 🧸 🧪 Drawing from Dr. Sue Carter’s groundbreaking research on oxytocin and the biology of love, modern neuroscience, and Scripture, this conversation reveals how connection is not optional - we were designed FOR it. You’ll learn how oxytocin shapes the nervous system, buffers stress, and even influences common lab patterns - and why healing was never meant to happen in isolation.

36: The Tortoise (Vs. The Hare) Approach To Habit Change 🐢

🎯 What if the reason your health goals haven’t stuck isn’t a lack of discipline - but the pace you’ve been using? 🐢 In this episode, we explore why the slow, steady “tortoise” approach to health leads to more sustainable healing than all-or-nothing overhauls. We unpack how urgency, perfectionism, and intensity can actually backfire biologically - keeping the nervous system stuck in stress mode and making habits harder to maintain. 🐇 Drawing from functional medicine, nervous system science, and Gretchen Rubin’s book Better Than Before, this episode offers practical, compassionate habit-building strategies that work with your body, your personality, and your current season of life. If you’re tired of starting over every Monday and want health that actually lasts, this episode is for you.

35: Safe, Sound, and Restored with Cristal DuBois, CHP, PRCFMP 🌈

🤗 What if healing doesn’t require more striving - but more safety? In today’s episode, I’m joined by Cristal DuBois, Christian Health Practitioner (CHP) and Certified Functional Medicine Practitioner (PRCFMP), and one of the health coaches in my practice, Nurture Functional Medicine. While Cristal has previously joined the podcast to discuss biochemical mental health and financial stewardship, today’s conversation is different. This episode focuses on the support side of healing - the nervous system, emotional regulation, and what it actually looks like to feel safe enough for healing to take root. Together, we discuss why coaching is such a vital part of functional medicine care, how nervous system dysregulation can keep patients stuck even when labs are improving, and how gentle, relational support can change the trajectory of healing entirely. 💛 RESOURCES & LINKS For full resources related to this podcast, check out the show notes at https://www.carlybayless.com/podcast/35

34: Motion as Medicine - Vestibular Input and Nervous System Regulation 🎾

🤔 Ever wondered… Why does walking calm anxiety?Why do babies settle when we move? And why does stillness sometimes feel worse than motion? In this episode, I discuss the science of the vestibular system - a foundational sensory system that plays a powerful role in nervous system regulation, emotional safety, sleep, and stress resilience. Grounded in neuroscience, sensory-integration research, and trauma-informed physiology, this conversation explores how rhythmic, predictable motion helps signal safety to the brain - for babies, kids, and adults alike. You’ll learn why movement isn’t a sleep crutch or a bad habit, but biological nourishment, and how to practically incorporate vestibular input into everyday life in gentle, intuitive ways.

32: Why You Can’t Lose Weight (Even When You’re Doing Everything Right)

😅 If weight loss has felt frustrating or confusing, this episode will bring you some much needed clarity! Today, I’m breaking down why weight loss resistance is rarely a willpower issue and is more often driven by hormones, stress physiology, blood sugar regulation, inflammation, and metabolic adaptation. Using a functional medicine lens, I explain how lab patterns often reveal the real barriers to progress. This episode also includes an important note on seasons when weight loss is not appropriate - such as postpartum recovery, breastfeeding, or active healing - and why pushing for fat loss during these times can backfire. You’ll also learn when adding pharmaceutical tools may be helpful (and when they’re not), setting the stage for next week’s guest episode on GLP-1s and other peptides with Cheryl Montgomery, a functional medicine certified health coach specializing in peptides and metabolic health.

18: Postpartum "Bounce Back" Culture + Weight Loss While Breastfeeding

🫠 Why am I not bouncing back postpartum? If you’ve ever wondered that, this episode is for you. I’m pulling back the curtain on a hormone most of us only think of as “the milk maker” — prolactin. We’ll talk about how prolactin reshapes your metabolism after birth, why it encourages fat storage in specific places (hips, thighs, arms, and belly), and how it interacts with thyroid, sex hormones, insulin, and dopamine. You’ll hear why your body is holding on to weight even when you’re eating clean and exercising, and why that’s not a sign of failure — it’s actually a sign that your body is brilliantly protecting your baby and your milk supply. Instead of chasing the bounce-back, I’ll share what I’m focusing on instead: protein, blood sugar balance, strength and gentle movement, and daily practices to support dopamine, lower stress, and build strength for the long haul. If you’re in a season of discouragement with your postpartum body, this conversation will help you breathe easier, release the pressure to bounce back, and trust the wisdom of God's design. 🫶🏼💜 For the full episode and show notes, check out my website here: https://carlybayless.com/podcast/18

15: Created For Healing

🌈 🕊️ In today’s episode, we dive into the incredible truth that God designed our bodies with an innate capacity to heal and restore. Drawing inspiration from Dr. Ben Rall’s book - Designed To Heal - and recent research, we’ll look at how modern science continues to affirm what Scripture has told us all along—you are fearfully and wonderfully made. 🧪🧬 From everyday examples like a cut healing on your finger, to the awe-inspiring discovery of microchimerism (where a mother carries her child’s cells long after pregnancy to help her body heal), you’ll see just how intentional God’s design really is. We’ll also talk about why healing sometimes gets “stuck,” how modern medicine can support but never replace God’s design, and practical ways you can partner with your body’s healing today. 🙏🏼 This episode will leave you with a fresh sense of awe at God’s brilliance in creation and a renewed confidence that you were made for abundant life and vibrant health.
