In today’s episode, we’re breaking down the truth about collagen—what it is, what it does, and whether it actually lives up to the buzz. You’ll learn why collagen isn’t a complete protein, how to pair it to get the most benefit, and whether it should really count toward your daily protein goals. I’m also diving into how vitamin C impacts collagen absorption, the best time to take it, and when collagen might not be worth the money. If you’ve been adding collagen to your coffee or smoothie and wondering if it’s really helping, this episode is for you.

Alyth Active is committed to creating versatile, inclusive pieces that fit your real life — whether that includes pilates, parenting, or a night out.

The name alyth (pronounced: uh-lie-ith) is a combination of the founders names Aly(sha) and Th(eresa).

After meeting in a Fit4Moms class Theresa and Alysha became fast friends. On a family vacation soon after, they began discussing their love for athleticwear but lack of options for real people and lifestyles, particularly mothers. With a dream of apparel that could be worn from parenting to pilates or deadlifting to date night, alyth was born!

Alyth Active is committed to inclusively redefining how activewear is worn and integrated into every closet, regardless of lifestyle. Alyth’s truly versatile designs make movement easier whether your day includes morning walks and Monday meetings, parenting and pilates, or deadlifts and date nights.

This episode is raw, honest, and straight from the heart. I’m sitting down with my husband—who is three years out of beating stage 3 colon cancer and 10 rounds of chemo—to talk about the 10-day heavy metal and parasite cleanse we just completed together through Sanctuary Wellness.

This detox was physically, mentally, and emotionally challenging, and we didn’t do it for weight loss or aesthetics. We did it for long-term health, cellular healing, and as a reminder of what our bodies are capable of—especially after everything my husband has overcome.

We share why we chose to do this now, what surprised us (including passing parasites 😳), and how this experience brought us even closer as a couple. There’s no fluff, no “this changed our lives” claims—just a real conversation about healing, doing hard things, and what health means to us now.

Plus, a rapid-fire segment you won’t want to miss: who was more dramatic, what food we craved most, and what we’ll never do again 😅

If you’ve ever wondered what it’s really like to go through a detox, or how couples can support each other through deep healing, this episode is for you.

You know I’m not the detox, cleanse, or extreme-reset girl—but in this episode, I’m sharing why my husband and I are starting a 10-day detox next week, and why it has nothing to do with weight loss.

I break down the intent behind it, how to know if something like this is supportive for you, and what to look for when it comes to detoxing the right way. This isn’t about dropping pounds—it’s about supporting your body on a cellular level, increasing awareness, and making intentional choices that feel aligned.

Because context matters, and so does your why.

Tune in to hear:

— Why I’m choosing to do this now

— My honest take on detox culture

— What makes this different from extreme fads

— How to know if it’s not the right move for you

If you’ve ever said “I just have no willpower when it comes to sugar,” this episode is your wake-up call—in the best way. You’re not addicted. You’re not weak. Your body is just craving energy... and maybe your gut is too.

In this episode, I’m breaking down the real reasons behind those intense sugar cravings that hit at 3PM (or let’s be honest—8PM on the couch). We’re talking:

1. Why high performers are often unknowingly under-fueling
2. How gut imbalances like candida and low diversity mess with your cravings
3. What sugar cravings are really trying to tell you
4. And what to do instead of cutting carbs or going cold turkey

You don’t need more discipline—you need more support. This one’s a must-listen if you’re ready to get consistent with your health, feel energized again, and stop battling your body.

In this episode, I’m joined by a former nurse turned women’s health and metabolism coach, Jamie Javed, to talk about something we don’t often connect to our energy, weight, or progress: emotional metabolism. We dive deep into how unprocessed emotions, stored trauma, and limiting beliefs can manifest physically — raising cortisol, draining energy, and keeping high-achieving women stuck in cycles of burnout and frustration.

We also explore what it means to be intentional with your health work, why "doing the work" shouldn’t just be another to-do list task, and how to start releasing what your body has been holding onto — emotionally and physically. If you’ve been spinning your wheels despite doing all the things, this conversation will hit home.

Meet Our Guest! 

Jamie is a former nurse turned women’s health leader who walked away from the hospital halls to walk alongside women in a deeper kind of healing. After years of delivering medications and procedures, she realized the true transformation women crave doesn’t come from prescriptions—it comes from feeling at home in their bodies. 

Now, Jamie helps women—especially those in midlife—ditch the burnout, reignite their energy, and create a metabolism that works with them, not against them. Through her signature blend of mindset, nutrition, and lifestyle, she’s leading a new era of health—one where results last, energy is sacred, and women finally feel like themselves again.

In this episode, I break down the key differences between the two, why I believe both methods can be effective in different seasons, and how to get real results no matter which approach you choose.
