In this episode, I sit down with Dr. Jennifer Timmons to talk about what it really means to pursue wellness in a way that supports women’s long-term health. We discuss why “strong is the new skinny,” how to think about body composition and aging, the importance of hormone testing, and practical movement habits that support both physical and mental health. If you’ve ever felt overwhelmed by health messaging or frustrated by “normal” lab results that don’t match how you feel, this conversation will give you clarity and encouragement.

- I talk with Dr. Timmons about her shift from conventional primary care to a more integrative, root-cause approach.

- We discuss why body composition matters more than chasing thinness! Love!

- Dr. Timmons explains why muscle mass is essential for aging well, bone health, and independence.

- We unpack the difference between “normal” lab ranges and truly optimal health markers.

- I ask about key wellness labs women should consider, including glucose, insulin, cholesterol, blood pressure, and ApoB.

- We talk through hormone testing, including estrogen, progesterone, testosterone, thyroid, TPO antibodies, and FSH.

- Dr. Timmons shares how symptoms matter even when lab results look normal.

- We explore when hormone replacement therapy may be helpful and why lifestyle still matters first.

- We break down realistic movement goals for women, including resistance training, Zone 2 cardio, and short bursts of high-intensity work.

- We close with a conversation about mindset, self-care, intuition, and trusting your body.

Tick season is here, and if your family loves spending time outdoors like mine does, this episode is one you don’t want to miss. After walking through Lyme Disease with my own son, I’ve become much more intentional about tick prevention—not out of fear, but out of preparation. In this episode, I’m sharing practical, natural ways to help protect your family, what to do if you find a tick, and the signs you don’t want to ignore.

In this episode we cover:

• Why tick awareness mattersLyme Disease and Alpha-Gal Syndrome are becoming increasingly common, and understanding the risks helps us stay proactive—not fearful.

• My family’s Lyme Disease storyI share our personal experience navigating my son’s Lyme diagnosis and why learning about prevention became so important to me.

• Natural ways to repel ticksWe talk about essential oil bug sprays, natural repellents, and tick-repelling stickers or patches that can add an extra layer of protection.

• What to wear outdoors to lower riskSimple clothing choices can make a big difference when hiking, exploring wooded areas, or spending time in tall grass.

• How to naturally treat your backyardFrom natural yard sprays and cedar products to keeping grass maintained—and even backyard chickens—there are several ways to help reduce tick habitats.

• The family tick-check routineLearn where ticks love to hide, how to do a quick but thorough body check, and why timing matters when coming inside.

• What to do if you find a tick biteProper removal, cleaning the area, saving the tick for identification or testing, and understanding which ticks carry which diseases.

• Signs of Lyme Disease to watch forThe bullseye rash is not the only symptom. We discuss early warning signs, what I personally would do after a bite, and when it may be worth seeking additional medical support.

At age 42, Ryan had a tongue tie release procedure. Why?

Over the past couple of years, I have been learning a lot about airway health. I have two previous podcast episodes on the topic. 

Episode 109: Improve Your Airway, Improve Your Health

Episode 111: Fixing the Airway: Effects on Sleep, Behavior and Hormones

And through that learning, I realized that Ryan had many of the symptoms of a restricted airway. After having him evaluated by our integrative dentist (contact info below), he helped us understand that Ryan had a class 3 tongue tie that was keeping his tongue from being in the proper position for optimal breathing AND creating a lot of tension in his body. 

His symptoms were snoring, grinding his teeth, waking up in the middle of the night, general tightness in his jaw, neck and shoulders and also plantar fasciitis. Yes, a tongue tie can affect your feet! We explain how in this episode. 

Ryan joins me in this episode to share about his airway health journey and the results of the tongue tie - it's been truly amazing!  We are so thankful that we learned about this and have been able to find some relief for Ryan.  I hope this info blesses you and those you know too, it’s share worthy stuff!

If your tongue could talk, it would tell you it affects far more than speech — from sleep quality and hormones to jaw development and restless kids. In this episode I interviewed Kristi Dobbs, a dental hygienist and myofunctional therapist from Roberts Integrative Dentistry, about how oral posture, nasal breathing, tongue-tie releases, and simple device and exercise-based therapies can transform sleep, behavior, pain, and overall health.

• What myofunctional therapy is: muscle-focused therapy for the face, tongue, jaw, and soft palate (like physical therapy for the neck up).

• Some modern lifestyle contributors to poor jaw development: softer diets, early solids/formula, early tooth removal and braces timing.

• Common signs linked to oral function problems: narrow palate, long face, gummy smile, mouth-breathing, snoring, TMJ, speech issues, picky eating, digestive problems, plantar fasciitis.

• The four pillars of myofunctional therapy: nasal breathing, lip seal, correct tongue posture, and proper swallowing.

• Device options: MyoMunchie (from ~6 months), Myobrace, Myo nozzle/Remplenish, and Invisalign palatal expansion when needed.

• Tongue-tie approach: pre- and post- myofunctional therapy plus a laser release and suturing to optimize outcomes and retrain function.

• Timing and commitment: therapy typically runs 12 sessions over ~6 months; results improve with ongoing maintenance exercises but require occasional practice to retain gains.

• Integration with other therapies: best results come when myofunctional therapy is combined with ENT, SLP, chiropractic, massage/lymphatic work, orthodontics, and other integrative providers.

• Virtual options: evaluations and much of the therapy can be done via telehealth; surgical procedures require an in-person provider.

Special episode with my oldest child, Lydia!  She just finished her first semester in college and we talk about how that new transition in her life affected her physical, mental and spiritual wellness. 

Here’s what I asked her:

• Homeschooled to dorm life - how has that transition been?
• What are some things we did in your dorm room to make it healthier?
• Has it been easy or hard to be a healthy college student
• How do you handle dining hall food?
• How has your mental health been? - What are some challenges for that?
• Has it been hard to pursue spiritual health in college?
• What are some things you wish you could tell all your college friends about healthy choices?
• What do you see as some of the biggest barriers to healthy living for young adults?
• What is something you would like to do better for your health next semester?
• Tell me about your college “health” class.
• As her mom, I wish I had been more educated about food, vaccines, antibiotics to prevent some of the health issues you had. How does it make her feel knowing that her parents didn’t make all the right choices?
• What do you see as your bigger health challenge now?
• Do you feel educated enough to care for yourself?
• Are you glad that I tried to teach you about some of those things? 
• What are some of your “go to’s” when you don’t feel well?

If you have kids that are college bound in the next couple years, or are currently struggling to prioritize health in college, you’ll love hearing what Lydia has to say!  And we’d love for you to share this episode with your friends!

Learn how mouth development, sleep and lifelong health are connected — and what parents can do now. In this episode Brianna from Toothpillow explains airway dentistry, why underdeveloped jaws and mouth breathing are an epidemic, and practical non-surgical ways to improve kids’ breathing, sleep and behavior.

Main points

• What airway dentistry is: foundation-first approach (jaw/airway before teeth)

• Why underdeveloped jaws are common: changes in breastfeeding, softer diets, generational shifts and allergies

• Key symptoms of pediatric sleep-disordered breathing: snoring, grinding, daytime sleepiness, ADHD-like behavior, dark circles, restless sleep… Wow!

• How tongue ties and myofunctional therapy affect breathing, swallowing, headaches and development

• Tonsils/adenoids: when conservative airway-first treatment may help and when ENT/surgery is needed

• Devices and treatments: Toothpillow guidance appliances, Vivos, Myobrace, expanders and the role of retainers/orthodontics

• The 3 hurdles to care: access, affordability, and education — and how virtual care can help

• Importance of early intervention (best window approx. ages 3–7; Toothpillow currently screens 3–12, with teen/adult care coming in 2026)

• Sleep studies: quantity vs quality — always INVESTIGATE poor daytime function before medicating for ADHD

• Practical takeaways for parents: screen kids’ sleep/breathing, seek airway-aware dentists, and don’t be told “wait and see.”

Jacquelyn Wetin of CJW Pino joins Melisha to talk about honest, practical ranching: how regenerative and rotational grazing change animal health and flavor, why buying direct from farmers matters for your family’s nutrition, and small-farm realities—from pricing and labels to marketing and freezer logistics. Hear what it really takes to raise healthier meat and how consumers can vote with their dollars to support better food systems.

Main points

• Jacquelyn explains the difference between commercial meat systems and direct-to-consumer regenerative practices, including vaccine, antibiotic, and hormone use.

• Rotational grazing improves land health, reduces hay feeding, and can support profitability by improving pasture productivity.

• Commercial supply chains often mix animals from many sources and can lack transparency—labels can be misleading and product-of-origin claims are not always trustworthy.

• Chicken and pork in conventional systems are often raised in confined, antibiotic-reliant conditions that harm animal health and nutrient quality.

• Jacquelyn’s approach: raise animals from conception to plate, rotationally graze year-round, avoid antibiotics and growth hormones, and use targeted feed (alfalfa, prairie hay, some non-GMO corn) for consistent flavor.

• Buying directly from trusted farmers improves traceability, nutrient quality, and supports local food resilience; buying in bulk (halves/quarters) is often the most sustainable model for farms.

• Practical consumer tips: rethink price-per-pound vs. upfront cost, plan ahead and use a freezer, ask farmers questions, and prioritize farmers who are transparent and communicative.

• Farmers need marketing and word-of-mouth; sharing social posts and referrals can be as helpful as purchases for small producers.

On this episode of the Daily Wellness Podcast, I interview Dr. Jeff Hockings, cofounder of a patented type 2 diabetes reversal program. Dr. Hockings breaks down why type 2 diabetes is a lifestyle-driven condition, how it can be reversed (not cured) with targeted diet, coaching, supplements and accountability, and what real-life outcomes look like when people commit to change. If you or someone you love is managing blood sugar, this conversation offers practical hope and a clear path forward.

Main points:

• Types of diabetes: distinction between type 1 (autoimmune), type 2 (lifestyle/adult-onset, reversible) and the emerging “type 3” link to Alzheimer’s/dementia.

• Causes and patterns: long-term high-carb/high-sugar diets, hidden sugars, sedentary lifestyle and societal factors (fast food, screen time) drive insulin resistance.

• Most primary care doctors are trained to manage diabetes with medications, not reverse it — reversing requires different nutritional and lifestyle approaches.

• What “reversal” means: achieving a non-diabetic A1C (≤ ~5.9) while off diabetic medications — essentially remission that requires lifelong maintenance of healthy habits.

• Program structure includes a personalized telemedicine program (3–7 months typical), assigned health coach, daily/weekly check-ins, Enjoy/Avoid food list, supplements, exercise guidance, and medication weaning coordinated with the patient’s physician.

• Diet approach: similar to a paleo-style focus — whole foods (vegetables, fruits, meats), avoid high-carb processed foods and dairy/sugary items; not a restrictive calorie-counting diet, but sustainable lifelong eating patterns.

• Role of supplements and exercise.

• Benefits beyond glucose: improved blood pressure, cholesterol, kidney function, sleep, energy, sexual function (ED improvement), and reduced need for multiple medications.

• Success examples: dramatic cases shared — patients coming off high insulin doses, large A1C improvements, weight loss and resolution of neuropathy/blurred vision after following the program.

• GLP-1s and meds: GLP-1s and other pharmaceutical options are treatments (and increasingly popular), but they are not a reversal — they carry side effects and are not a substitute for lifestyle-based remission.

• Prediabetes is usually easy to reverse with simpler interventions; routine annual lab work is key for early detection.

• The program is telemedicine-based, available across the U.S., with a money-back guarantee if prescribed steps are followed and reversal is not achieved.

In this episode with Dr. Mark Sherwood, a seasoned functional medicine practitioner and co-founder of the Functional Medical Institute in Tulsa, we chat about why your health issues may be self-imposed and how knowing that can bring you hope. If you want to learn more about holistic health, the impact of lifestyle choices, and the true meaning of stress you’ll love this. He offers practical advice for busy parents and individuals looking to reclaim ownership of their health beyond pharmaceuticals and quick fixes.

Main Points:

• Early onset perimenopause and low testosterone are rising, linked to stress, environmental toxins, and poor diet.

• Traditional medicine often focuses on symptom management rather than root causes; Dr. Mark emphasizes thorough listening and personalized care.

• Functional medicine approach includes exhaustive testing—blood, genetic, stool, and micronutrient—to develop tailored health plans.

• Stress is reframed as an action (a verb) we control, not a fixed condition, empowering individuals to manage their responses.

• Self-imposed, choice-driven lifestyle factors (poor diet, unresolved emotions like fear and resentment) account for over 90% of chronic disease patterns.

• Healthcare system or reactive “sick care”? How to take personal responsibility in health and wellness.

• Practical lifestyle habits include prayer/meditation, movement, clean eating focused on whole foods, and maintaining balanced relationships.

• The importance of teaching children healthy habits early and modeling stress management and good nutrition.

• Virtual and in-person care options available, with monthly free webinars educating anyone interested in functional health.
