On the fifth day of Christmas, I asked a question no one wants to answer: why are women so chronically unwell?

And when I say “sick,” I don’t mean disease.

I mean living in a body that feels off —

In this episode of 12 Days of Christmas: Fat Loss Edition, we talk about:

what’s actually behind this pattern

why so many symptoms show up at the same stage of life

why being told “everything is normal” often isn’t the full story

and what actually needs to be addressed to feel better again

This episode isn’t about fear.

It’s about context — and finally understanding why your body has been pushing back.

On the fourth day of Christmas, fat loss exposed a hard truth: effort and results are not the same thing.

In this episode of 12 Days of Christmas: Fat Loss Edition, we’re calling out one of the biggest lies women believe about fat loss; that trying hard should automatically produce results.

It doesn’t.

Fat loss responds to data, patterns, recovery, and biology — not how hard something felt.

In this episode, we talk about:

If you’re eating clean, working out, and still stuck, this episode will either piss you off or change your life.

Possibly both.

On the third day of Christmas, my body taught me that minerals are the foundation of fat loss.

In this episode of 12 Days of Christmas: Fat Loss Edition, we’re talking about minerals — not as a supplement trend, but as the biological foundation your metabolism depends on.

If minerals are low, fat loss doesn’t happen.

In this episode, you’ll learn:

This episode will change how you think about energy, recovery, and why fat loss feels harder than it should.

On this day of Christmas, my body taught me that my gut has its own Ozempic button.

In this episode of 12 Days of Christmas: Fat Loss Edition, we’re talking about GLP-1, GLP-2, and GLP-3; the gut hormones that control appetite, blood sugar, satiety, and fat loss.

You’ll learn:

why GLP-1 medications work (and what they’re actually mimicking)

how gut health, digestion, and hormones determine whether GLPs fire properly

how to naturally support GLP signaling through nutrition and lifestyle anchors

why “just eat more protein” doesn’t work if your digestion isn’t doing its job

how testing like GI-MAP, DUTCH, and HTMA reveals what’s blocking fat loss

We also talk honestly about peptides.

Peptides enhance a healthy system; they don’t fix a broken one.

If you’re struggling with food noise, cravings, or fat loss that feels harder than it should, this episode will give you clarity.

Follow the show and come back tomorrow for the next episode of 12 Days of Christmas: Fat Loss Edition.

On the first day of Christmas (Fat loss Edition) my body taught me that it is not a calculator.

In this episode of 12 Days of Christmas: Fat Loss Edition, we’re breaking down why calories in, calories out stopped working; and why eating less and moving more often makes fat loss harder after 40, not easier.

If you’ve been eating clean, working out consistently, and still feeling frustrated, uncomfortable in your skin, and confused about why nothing is changing, this conversation will finally give you clarity.

Let’s talk about what really happens to your sex life after 40.

In this raw and refreshing episode, Michele sits down with Jane Hammond, Sexual Health Educator and intimacy coach, to dismantle the outdated narratives around female pleasure, libido, and what it means to feel turned on—in every sense of the word.

We cover:

Why low libido is more common than you think (and what’s actually behind it)

How hormones, trauma, stress, and metabolism shape your sex drive

The difference between desire vs arousal (this alone will change how you view “low sex drive”)

What’s normal vs what’s treatable

Why midlife is the best time to reclaim your sexual confidence

And how to spark intimacy again—whether you're in a long-term relationship or flying solo

This episode is for the woman who’s felt disconnected from her body, her partner, or her passion—and wants to feel ALIVE again.

⚡Hit play. Your sexual reawakening starts here.

For years, women have been told that exhaustion, hormonal weight gain, anxiety, poor sleep, brain fog, low libido, belly fat after 40, and feeling “off” are simply a normal part of aging. But what if the real issue is hormone imbalance women experience during perimenopause and menopause and not “just getting older”?

In this powerful hormone health podcast episode, Michele sits down with hormone specialist Christine to uncover the truth about women over 40 health, hormone replacement therapy (HRT), metabolic health women need after 40, and why so many women are dismissed by traditional healthcare providers.

This women health podcast explores the connection between estrogen decline, progesterone imbalance, testosterone deficiency, thyroid issues women face, inflammation, weight loss after 40 women struggle with, and why women over 40 can’t lose weight even while eating healthy and exercising.

You’ll learn:

This menopause health podcast episode is a must-listen for any woman searching for answers about hormonal weight gain, slow metabolism female patterns, thyroid symptoms women experience, hormone balance + natural weight loss, and how to feel like yourself again after 40.

You’ll Learn:📌 Show Notes

Women are being massively failed when it comes to thyroid health — and if you’ve been dismissed, told your labs are “normal,” told it’s “just stress,” or handed medication that didn’t fix anything… this episode is going to piss you off in the best way.

I’m joined by Jenn Malecha, Functional Diagnostic Nutrition Practitioner and thyroid expert who has helped thousands of women uncover what their doctors completely overlooked.

We’re breaking down the truth no one is telling you:

Why “normal” thyroid labs mean nothing

Why TSH-only testing is one of the biggest failures in women’s health

Why so many women stay exhausted, inflamed, bloated, and gaining weight even on medication

What actually causes low thyroid function (hint: it’s NOT just your thyroid)

The gut–liver–hormone connection your doctor never explained

And the real roadmap to finally feeling like yourself again

This is the episode that finally makes everything click.

Jenn is brilliant, experienced, and unfiltered — and this interview will change the way you look at your thyroid forever.
