Feeling tired, wired, and completely dismissed by your doctor?

Been there.

In this episode, I’m sharing my personal journey with relentless fatigue, insomnia, and depression. Also, how conventional bloodwork told me absolutely nothing. It wasn’t until I pushed for deeper testing that I found answers: thyroid issues, low iron, a genetic mutation, and other root causes my doctor never checked for.

Dez joins me for my podcast comeback as we break down:

• What labs most doctors don’t run

• Why “normal” ranges can still leave you feeling awful

• The exact panels to ask for (or order yourself)

• How to advocate for your health when no one’s listening

You’re not crazy. You’re not lazy. You might just be missing data.

Whether you’re deep in a fitness journey or just feeling stuck in life, this is the reminder you probably need.

I cover:

-Why growth should feel uncomfortable

Do you constantly think about food—even when you’re not physically hungry? Are you planning your day around meals, feeling guilt after eating, or stuck in a binge-restrict cycle? That nonstop mental chatter is called food noise, and it’s more common (and more frustrating) than people realize.

In this episode, I break down:

• What food noise is and how it shows up

• Why GLP-1 meds like Ozempic reduce it—but aren’t the only option

• The real reasons you’re always hungry (hint: it’s not just willpower)

• How under-eating, poor sleep, stress, and emotional eating crank up the noise

• Why mindful eating, meal timing, and balanced nutrition make a huge difference

• How to build awareness and finally stop letting food run your life

Whether you’re working on fat loss, trying to heal your relationship with food, or just sick of the constant cravings—this one’s for you.
