I am so excited to share this episode with you! There are so many fad diets and health myths present in the health and wellness space. In my chat with Kaya today, we are going to go through many of the top health and wellness trends and discuss not just why they are not helpful to female physiology but how they are actually damaging our cells and our bodies.
After struggling for most of her life with chronic illnesses that doctors were unable to find the root cause of, Kaya has finally discovered that her nutrition and her physiology had so much to do with her underlying issues and that listening to her body’s needs was the best solution to her problems.
In this episode:

[00:06:00] She talks about her experience with the paleo and low-carb diets and how they didn’t really change her overall health.
[00:08:57] How she was doing everything “right” but not reaping any benefits, and how her thyroid issues were overlooked by physicians.
[00:12:39] Menstrual cycles, hormones, and the impacts they play on our health.
[00:14:00] Kaya shares her experience with the carnivore diet.
[00:17:51] Outside sources are not the voice for what is best for your body.
[00:28:04] Trusting your intuition to nourish your body and how the state of our physiology impacts how we receive certain information.
[00:38:31] The restrictions of many diets or using natural methods to treat symptoms don’t align with the root causes in your physiology and metabolism.
[00:45:37] Common dogmas and misconceptions that are still widely accepted in the health and wellness space and how it all evolves around metabolism.
[00:55:35] Why is intermittent fasting not a good idea for your metabolism?
[01:08:49] Misconceptions surrounding PCOS and the impact of metabolism.
[01:16:32] The topic of women’s eggs, the myth that we are born with all eggs we will ever have, and supporting research on the topic. |
