204: What Your Skin Is Really Telling You | Sunscreen Safety, Botox Risks & Dermatologist-Backed Habits for Healthy Skin with Dr. Mamina Turegano

Hi friends! I have a brand new podcast episode live, and today we are talking all things skin! 🌟 I'm sitting down with Dr. Mamina Turegano, a triple board certified dermatologist, internist, and dermapathologist based in New Orleans. In this episode, she's sharing a really refreshing, integrative take on skin health, the kind you don't usually get at a regular derm appointment. We get into the topics that are all over social media lately, like whether sunscreen is actually safe, the real deal with Botox, and what habits genuinely make a difference for your skin long term. Here's what we chat about: The real story behind the sunscreen-causes-cancer claim and what the benzene contamination scare actually was Why correlation is not causation when it comes to sunscreen use and skin cancer rates The truth about chemical vs. mineral sunscreen and what the FDA actually says A dive into Botox and all about the safety data, the reported adverse reactions, and the emerging research on brain health Why skincare advancements (hello, peptides) are changing what we actually need procedures for The non-negotiable basics every skin routine should include What lifestyle factors are aging your skin faster than you think The connection between sleep, stress, and skin conditions like acne, eczema, psoriasis, and hair loss And so much more! It was awesome getting to talk to Dr. Mamina and I hope you like listening to it as much as I enjoyed chatting with her!

203: Insights of a Neurosurgeon | Peptides, Minimally Invasive Surgery & the Holistic Approach to Healing with Dr. Amir Vokshoor

Hi friends! I have a brand new episode live and today I'm joined by a neurosurgeon with some AMAZING insights on brain health, spine health, and really just whole-body healing. Dr. Amir Vokshoor is a board-certified MD and Chief of Surgery at Providence Saint John's Health Center in Santa Monica, and he specializes in minimally invasive spine surgery with a genuinely integrative, whole-body approach to brain and spine health. If you've ever dealt with back pain, are thinking about longevity, or just want to keep everything moving well as you get older, I think you're going to love this one. Here's what we chat about: Why Dr. Vokshoor's go-to tagline is "there's no health without brain health" — and what that actually means for your daily life The three key areas of spinal mobility he recommends everyone work on (cervical, thoracic, lumbar — plus hips and ankles!) His simple daily movement routine for spinal health that takes just minutes and doesn't require any equipment What minimally invasive spine surgery actually looks like How AI is changing his practice right now — including letting him actually touch his patients again during visits The promise and honest limitations of peptides Why chronic pain becomes a brain disease — and what that means for treatment And so much more!! This episode is a great reminder that your brain health isn't separate from the rest of your wellness. Whether you're postmenopausal and thinking about bone health, dealing with chronic pain, or just want to move well as you age, Dr. Vokshoor brings a refreshingly human and holistic perspective to neurosurgery.

202: Regenerative Farming 101 | What's Really in Your Meat, Animal Welfare & Why It Matters with Jenni Harris of White Oak Pastures

Hi friends! I have a brand new podcast episode live, and today I'm talking about something that is so close to my heart: Where our food actually comes from. 🌿🐄 I'm joined by the incredible Jenni Harris, fifth-generation farmer and Director of Marketing at White Oak Pastures, a leading regenerative farm in Bluffton, Georgia. If you've ever stood in the grocery store aisle wondering what "regenerative" or "pasture-raised" actually means (and whether it's worth it), this episode is going to answer ALL of that for you. This one just might change the way you grocery shop! Here's what we chat about: What regenerative agriculture actually means and why it goes beyond "sustainable" The three shifts (industrialized, commoditized, centralized) that changed farming for the worse and how White Oak Pastures is swinging the pendulum back Why animal welfare is about more than just being "cage-free" and what it really looks like to let animals express their instinctive behaviors How soil health connects directly to the nutrient density of your food Why White Oak Pastures gave up pesticides and chemical fertilizers and the wild story of how they started using them in the first place How grazing multiple species of livestock actually works as a natural alternative to chemicals The case for regional food systems and why your local farmer matters more than a big national brand How YOU can support regenerative farmers beyond just voting with your dollar And so much more!! This episode is a friendly reminder that eating well isn't just about macros and calories, it's also about knowing and trusting where your food comes from.

201: Sleep Tips That Actually WORK | Morning Routines, Magnesium, Meal Timing & More

Hi friends! I have a brand new podcast episode live, and today I'm diving into one of my all-time favorite topics — sleep! 😴✨ This is a solo episode where I'm walking you through the exact checklist I use with my own clients when we're troubleshooting sleep. Because here's the thing: when we fix sleep, so much else starts to fall into place. Digestion, hormones, mood, energy, body composition — it all connects back to how well you're resting at night. Whether you're a new mom running on fumes, someone who wakes up at 1am and can't fall back asleep, or just someone who never feels truly rested — this episode is for you. Here's what we chat about: The power of morning sunlight and why getting outside first thing is a game-changer Why most people are taking the wrong type of magnesium — and what to look for instead How castor oil packs support your liver, calm your nervous system, and help shift your body into rest-and-digest mode The meal timing sweet spot that makes a noticeable difference in sleep quality Why alcohol before bed is sabotaging your deep sleep (and what to have instead) The connection between blood sugar dips and that dreaded 1–3am wake-up window How to manage stress and screen time before bed so your nervous system can actually wind down My honest take on unplugging the Wi-Fi router at night and keeping your phone off your body My current favorite sleep supplements — including one that gives me that warm, calm feeling without the hangover And so much more!! This episode is a friendly reminder that great sleep doesn't just happen at night — it's built throughout your entire day. If you've been struggling to get consistent, restful sleep, I hope this gives you a solid starting point. And if you want to go deeper, I'd love to help you run some functional lab work to see what might be going on hormonally or metabolically. Send me an email at [email protected] with "sleep" in the subject line and I'll send you all the details — no coaching fee to review your results, just answers! I love winding down with a warm cup of Organifi gold before bed, and I always pair my nightly routine with my favorite Magnesium supplement and Magnesium spray for extra relaxation. I also swear by my Weighted blanket AND you can find all of my go-to sleep tools and more over on My favorite biohacking products page!

200: Autoimmune Healing, Nervous System Safety & the Biggest Mistakes I Made on My Health Journey

Hi friends! I have a brand new podcast episode live, and today is a very special one — episode 200 🎉 This is a short solo episode where I'm reflecting on my own healing journey and sharing the biggest mistakes I made along the way, especially during the height of my autoimmune symptoms. This episode is less about regret and more about perspective, compassion, and helping you avoid some of the same pitfalls if you're in a season of healing right now. In this episode, I open up about what was happening behind the scenes when my lupus markers were positive, my nervous system was completely fried, and my body was very clearly asking for safety — even though I didn't fully understand that at the time. This episode is especially for you if you feel like you've "tried everything," are overwhelmed by information online, or feel stuck in a loop of doing more but not actually feeling better. Here's what we chat about: Why chasing body composition while your body is screaming for help can actually slow healing The truth about exercise intolerance and why pushing harder isn't always the answer The mistake of taking supplements without testing (and why more isn't better) How probiotics and popular wellness products can backfire if your gut isn't ready Why lab testing was a turning point in my healing (and why I wish I had done it sooner) Why cold plunging, fasting, caffeine, and red light therapy weren't what my nervous system needed at the time How staying up all night Googling symptoms kept my body stuck in fight-or-flight The connection between hypervigilance, cortisol, inflammation, and stalled healing A reminder that you're not behind, broken, or failing if healing is taking time This episode is such an honest reminder that healing isn't about doing more — it's about doing the right things at the right time, in a way that supports your nervous system instead of overwhelming it. If you're in the middle of a healing journey right now, please know you're not alone. I truly believe our experiences make us stronger, wiser, and more compassionate on the other side.

199: Perimenopause, Nervous System Health & How Stress Impacts Your Hormones

Hi friends! I have a brand new podcast episode live, and today we're diving into a topic that so many women are confused about but deeply affected by: perimenopause. I'm joined by the amazing mother-daughter duo, Candace and Jess from Your Hormone Balance, and we're breaking down what perimenopause actually is, why it can start earlier than most women expect, and how chronic stress and nervous system dysregulation play a huge role in hormone imbalances, fatigue, mood swings, weight gain, and more. This episode is especially for you if you're in your 30s or 40s, feeling "off" in your body, struggling with sleep, energy, anxiety, or changes in your cycle - and being told everything is "normal." Here's what we chat about: What perimenopause really is (and why it's an 8–10 year transition, not a single moment) The early signs of perimenopause, including changes in your cycle, mood, sleep, and energy Why progesterone is often the first hormone to decline — and how that impacts anxiety, PMS, and stress tolerance How chronic stress, overworking, under-eating, and people-pleasing disrupt ovulation and hormone balance The connection between nervous system dysregulation and symptoms like fatigue, brain fog, bloating, and low libido Why so many women are estrogen dominant — and how stress drives that imbalance The importance of hormone testing (and why symptoms alone don't tell the full story) Simple, realistic nervous system practices to lower cortisol and support healing Breathwork techniques like the "physiological sigh" to calm anxiety in real time Everyday vagus nerve tools: humming, singing, grounding, and gentle movement How boundaries, asking for help, and reducing people-pleasing can literally improve your hormones Why heavy, painful, or irregular periods are not something you should ignore The role of protein, nourishment, and avoiding extremes with exercise and caffeine This episode is such a powerful reminder that your body isn't broken; it's responding to the life you're living. And with the right tools, support, and awareness, you can move through perimenopause feeling calmer, stronger, more regulated, and more in tune with your body. I hope you enjoy this episode!

Hi friends! I'm SO excited to share this week's episode with symptom support coach Rachel Reimer, where we explore the fascinating connection between emotions and the body, and how unprocessed stress can show up as chronic symptoms, pain, and even autoimmune issues.

191: Fertility Starts in the Brain! Healing from the Inside Out with Monica Cox

Hi friends! I have a brand new episode live and I'm SO excited for you to listen to my conversation with Monica Cox all about understanding fertility through the lens of cellular health, the role of diet and mindset, and the emotional healing that supports your journey to motherhood. Here's what we discuss: Why fertility is often a cellular health issue—and what that really means The powerful connection between diet, emotional patterns, and fertility outcomes How to spot red flags in common fertility advice and choose practices that truly serve you The importance of intuition, joy, and radical responsibility in your fertility journey Why age is not the final word on your fertility potential Plus, Monica's inspiring personal story of loss, resilience, and natural conception after years of infertility. Monica Cox is the woman midlife professionals call when they've blown $50,000+ on fertility treatments that failed them. Monica helps women who've "tried everything" finally understand what their body actually needs to get and stay pregnant-without burning themselves out with endless protocols, diets, and treatments. Monica is raw & honest about fertility struggles that 1 in 6 couples face. She helps professional women finally get pregnant by addressing what conventional medicine misses: the gut-fertility connection, cellular inflammation, and those subconscious blocks nobody's talking about. Monica's refreshing "no BS" approach and methodology transforms fertility from a clinical nightmare into an empowering journey. Women are desperate for alternatives that actually work-and Monica delivers them with the perfect mix of science, soul, and tough love that midlife women are searching for.
