Feeling drained, gaining weight in new places, or dealing with nagging brain fog—but chalking it up to “just midlife”? 

You might be missing a key piece of the puzzle: 

Your thyroid.

I know this firsthand. 

Before I was diagnosed with Hashimoto’s in my 30s, I spent years powering through exhaustion, thinning hair, unexplained weight gain (over 30 pounds!), and mood swings—thinking it was just life catching up with me. 

But ignoring the signs only made things worse.

That’s why I’m thrilled to welcome McCall McPherson, founder of Modern Thyroid Clinic and Modern Weight Loss, to this week’s podcast. 

McCall’s journey from frustrated thyroid patient to one of today’s top hormone experts fuels her innovative, no-stone-unturned approach. 

She’s helped thousands of women heal their thyroids, balance hormones, and reclaim their energy—without guesswork.

In this episode, you’ll learn how to:

If you’ve ever wondered if something deeper is going on or whether your thyroid could be to blame...

Tune in now for real answers and expert-backed solutions!

"By the time you're hitting perimenopause, you really need to be screening yourself annually in an in-depth manner because most likely you have a thyroid issue." 

"Both thyroid and perimenopause hormone dysfunction are two things that can very readily be addressed and fixed in so many women. It’s not something to just blow off and live with." 

"When you have low functioning thyroid, you start to lose progesterone and testosterone early on. It’s like a seesaw—once progesterone drops, estrogen becomes too heavy, making balance difficult without proper support." 

"Midsection fat gain during perimenopause isn’t just frustrating—it’s a direct health risk, linked to higher morbidity, earlier death, and chronic inflammation. It's common but should never be considered normal." – McCall McPherson

"It's damaging to tell women to 'eat less and exercise more' when they have underlying hormone or thyroid issues. Many women are doing everything right and still can't lose weight because deeper imbalances are at play." – McCall McPherson

There’s a secret Mother Nature has been keeping from us…

The most nutrient-dense food on the planet isn’t in your local produce aisle.

It’s algae.

For centuries, spirulina and chlorella have been fueling everything from ancient civilizations to NASA astronauts.

But their undeniable benefits are just now being recognized—especially for women who are navigating the demands of midlife and beyond.

That’s why I’m thrilled to welcome Catharine Arnston, founder and CEO of ENERGYbits®, to this week’s podcast—as we unlock the untapped potential of these two superfoods.

Catharine’s journey began with her sister’s recovery from breast cancer. It sparked a passion that led her to become a global advocate for algae—and today, she’s sharing the science, benefits, and practical tips for adding these game-changers to your daily life.

In this episode, you’ll learn how to:

If you’re ready to effortlessly upgrade your energy, hormones, and metabolic health… 

Tune in now to discover the healing power of algae!

“Spirulina is your nutritional insurance. It’s food, not a supplement, with everything your body needs to thrive.”

“Your mitochondria are your body’s powerhouses—and spirulina directly supports their energy production, unlike anything else on Earth.”

“Chlorella’s chlorophyll content is unmatched. It detoxifies heavy metals, pesticides, and alcohol while building blood and supporting immune health.”

“The science is clear: algae is the most nutrient-dense, sustainable, and bioavailable food source on the planet. It’s not new—it’s just new to you!”

“Don’t let societal expectations dictate your energy. At any age, you have the power to feel vibrant, alive, and capable of reaching new heights.”

No matter how many times we hear it..

When our hormones begin to shift, it can still feel like no one prepared you for what’s coming. 

I’ll never forget the moment I realized I was officially in perimenopause: 

At 44, I felt an overwhelming sense of dread, bouts of rage I couldn’t explain, and the exhaustion of crawling through mud just to get through the day. 

As someone who has supported thousands of women through midlife transitions, I knew exactly what was happening—and yet, I wasn’t prepared for how destabilizing it would feel.

That’s why in this week’s solo episode, I’m sharing the advice I wish I could have given my younger self—practical tools and insights to help you thrive in this transformative season.

Imagine if hundreds of tiny particles you can’t even see were making their way deep into your body’s tissues—affecting everything from your hormones to your weight, mood, gut health, brain, and more. 

Every. Single. Day. 

This isn’t some weird sci-fi movie plot. 

It’s the reality we’re living with microplastics.

Which is why I’m SO excited to welcome Dr. Vincent Pedre to my podcast this week!

Dr. Pedre, an integrative gut health expert, author, and my go-to resource for all things microbiome, is here to bring you up to speed on the hidden threat of microplastics on your well-being. 

From that “harmless” coffee lid to the convenient food containers you use every day, microplastics are everywhere.

And they’re hijacking your gut and wreaking havoc on your hormones, weight, mood, and brain.  

But don’t worry—we’ve got your back. 

You’re about to hear ALL the latest science, solutions, and practical steps you can take to reduce your exposure and restore your gut NOW.

So if you’re ready to get ahead of the game when it comes to protecting yourself and your family from this invisible invader…

Tune in now for this life-changing conversation!

"Microplastics are the rising hidden danger that is a threat to our health, to our metabolism, to our hormones, that is right under our noses...and they are being consumed without people realizing it."

"Every time you drink a hot beverage through a plastic lid, you’re absorbing microplastics that can act like estrogen in the body—scrambling your hormones and disrupting everything from weight to mood."

"Microplastics break down the gut’s mucus layer, overgrow harmful bacteria, and eventually lead to leaky gut. Once you have leaky gut, the pathway to inflammation is wide open."

"We’re exposed to microplastics everywhere. So the best line of defense is to be really mindful—use glass, use stainless steel, and avoid heating food or drinks in plastic."

"Even our coffee makers can be a source of microplastic exposure. If your coffee maker has plastic tubing or a plastic reservoir, hot water is leaching microplastics into your coffee every day."
