November 24, 2020244: Eating and Training According to Your Menstrual Cycle w/ Dr. Stephanie Estima
If You Want to Use Your Menstrual Cycle to Your Advantage You Should:
Alter what you eat based on which phase of your cycle you are in to give your body what it needs to absorb
Switch up your workout routine between heavy weight lifting, building lean muscle mass, and taking time for recovery
Listen to your divine feminine power and give your body what it is asking you for

You might know that you can break down your menstrual cycle into four different phases, but did you know that how you eat and exercise in each of these phases can impact your health, fertility, and metabolism? Understanding how you are evolving throughout the month can help you use your menstrual cycle to your advantage and provide optimal functioning.

Optimizing Your Menstrual Cycle with Dr. Stephanie Estima
Dr. Stephanie Estima is an expert in metabolism and body composition. She has a special interest in functional neurology, brain metabolism, and the specific application of the ketogenic diet and fasting to female physiology. Using her framework, The ESTIMA Method, she focuses on distilling strategies in nutrition, movement, and mindset to actualize human potential, longevity, and achievement.

The Four Phases of Your Cycle
The four phases of your cycle can be broken down into menstruation, the follicular phase, ovulation, and the luteal phase. Each of these phases needs specific diet and exercise routines to help your hormones function optimally and play the long game when it comes to your health and wellness.
By combining Dr. Stephanie's knowledge around fasting, the ketogenic diet, and the mensural cycle, you can reduce your inflammation, get a grip on your insulin, and give your body what it needs depending on where you are at in your cycle. Weight lifting, carbohydrates, and taking a much-needed rest can all help you see tremendous results if done correctly and at the right time for your body.

Listen to Your Feminine Power
Whether you want children or not, your body's process of creating life requires a level of energy that no other cell in the human body has to produce. This is why it is critical to do what feels right for you and lean into your feminine power so that you can listen to what your body is telling you.
True sexiness comes from knowing who you are, feeling comfortable in your skin, and taking care of yourself in the ways you should. Understanding why your body is doing what it is doing can help you tweak how you eat and work out so that you can listen to your female wisdom and rest when you need to help your body function as best it can.

But it doesn’t have to be this way!

Tune in to today’s episode to hear why perimenopause is a period of so much change and how you can make this transition with ease and grace to continue living with energy and health for years to come!
Which hormones are the biggest players as you make the transition to perimenopause and menopause
How you can immediately identify which stage of perimenopause you are in so you can start feeling better ASAP
The biggest signs and symptoms of hormone imbalances and what you can do to start healing them
My favorite supplement & lifestyle recommendations to relieve your symptoms and get your body back in balance

November 17, 2020242: How to Eat and Supplement During Pregnancy to Optimize the Health of Mama and Baby w/ Dr. Cleopatra Kamperveen
If You Want To Set Your Body and Your Baby Up For Success You Should:
Prime your body by eating whole foods that create a nourishing environment for your baby's brain development
Educate yourself about the right supplements to take during your primemester, pregnancy, and postpartum
Create the best possible epigenetic foundation for your baby by embracing the Primemester Protocol and the Fertility Food Pyramid
Let go of your worry and support your super baby by listening to what your body needs

Priming your body to get ready for a baby can take a lot of energy and can often be met with some confusion. It is important to prime your epigenetics by nourishing yourself with the right foods and supplements so that you can create your super baby, which means the happiest, healthiest, brightest, and most well-adjusted baby that you can give your epigenome.

How to Shift Your Epigenetics for the Baby of Your Dreams
Dr. Cleopatra is the Fertility Strategist and Executive Director of the Fertility & Pregnancy Institute. She has helped me, along with thousands of other women, learn about the primemester, the magical and powerful window of opportunity before your pregnancy. In addition, Dr. Cleopatra works to reverse reproductive aging, help women get pregnant quickly and easily, reduce miscarriage risk, and finally have the super baby they have been dreaming of for as long as they can remember.

Setting Yourself and Your Baby Up for Success
What you eat and the supplements you take are crucial to creating the best and most nourishing environment for your baby's health. This is critical stuff to know, as your epigenetics are being transmitted from one generation to the next, and are also constantly changing. This means that you can alter your epigenetic foundation to create an opportunity to have your super baby and support your body before, during, and after pregnancy. Through the Primemester Protocol and the Fertile Food Pyramid, you can gain the knowledge that you need to take your health and your baby's health into your own hands.

Practical Tips for Creating Your Superbaby
Dr. Cleopatra breaks down the top five supplements you should take during the primemester, pregnancy, and postpartum phases, which foods you should be focusing on in utero and after your baby is born, and how to set your baby and yourself up for success. It is up to you to make sure that you have everything you need for your growing baby, and Dr. Cleopatra’s practical tips for eating and supplementation are a must for any mama-to-be. Your microbiome is the second genome for epigenetic foundation, and it is only by nourishing yourself with what your body needs that you can create your super baby with grace and ease.

November 10, 2020240: How to Conquer Stress and Hormonal Imbalance Through Optimizing Mitochondria and Cortisol w/ Dr. Carrie Jones
If You Want to Gain More Energy You Should:
Lower your stress response to allow your body to make the right amount of cortisol for you
Build muscle through resistance training in order to manage your glucose intake
Stress your mitochondria consistently and in the right ways in order to balance your hormone production
Implement simple and effective lifestyle changes to improve your mitochondrial function and cortisol production

Do you dread having to drag yourself out of bed in the morning, knowing that you might not have enough energy to get through the day? The two biggest causes for this lack of energy is inefficient mitochondrial function and the hormone cortisol.
The good news is that there are simple lifestyle changes and tools that are easy, inexpensive, and possible to do from home that can balance your cortisol and improve your mitochondrial function.

Connecting the Dots With Dr. Carrie Jones
Dr. Carrie Jones is a practitioner, internationally recognized speaker, consultant, and educator in all things women’s health and hormones and a fellow mitochondria nerd. Dr. Carrie is the medical direction for Precision Analytical, the creators of the DUTCH hormone test, my hands down favorite test for understanding what is going on with your hormones.

Cortisol Is the Key
Connecting the dots between your mitochondrial function, cortisol production, stress, sleep, and glucose can help you understand what is going on in your body so that you can relieve your symptoms and start harnessing the energy you need to get through your busy day.
It is no secret that everything happening within your body affects one another. The #1 role of cortisol is to manage your glucose and help you wake up in the morning through the cortisol awakening response. You need to get out of the negative cortisol feedback loop and increase your cortisol production by feeding the mitochondria what it needs to work the right way.

Happy Mitochondria = Happy Women
Happy mitochondria equal happy women, and happy women make the world go round. Improve your mitochondrial happiness comes down to consistency in how you stress your mitochondria in the right ways.
Things such as building muscle with resistance training, improving your posture, and getting a good night's sleep are all simple and easy ways to heal what is going on with your hormones and give you back the energy you crave.

November 03, 2020238: Quieting Your Inner Critic and How to Overcome Fear and Unconscious Bias in Order to Be Your Best Self w/ Ariel Garten
If You Want to Embrace Mindfulness and Meditation You Should:
Stop assuming your thoughts are facts and start being decisive about the thoughts that you give your attention
Shift your relationship to your experience of life by understanding what is going on in your brain
Turn small daily practices into moments of mindfulness to help you calm your brain and take control of your mental space

When my husband Alex said he wanted to try meditating but didn’t feel he had the time or the knowledge to ‘do it right,’ I knew there had to be a better way. Luckily some friends recommended Muse Meditation Technology, and it has totally changed his and my world.

What Is Muse with Ariel Garten
Muse is a brain-sensing headband that helps you meditate by translating your brain activity during meditation into guiding sounds. It was co-founded by Ariel Garten, a Neuroscientist, mom, former psychotherapist, and former fashion designer. Ariel is probably one of the most interesting people you will ever meet and is passionate about helping people understand what is actually going on in their minds.

Choosing the Thoughts You Pay Attention To
Most of us go through life on autopilot, assuming that the thoughts in our head are supposed to be there and are facts. In reality, you have total control over what thoughts you want to pay attention to and the ability to take power over your own mental space.
Meditation is not about stopping your mind from wandering. It is about training your ability to notice when your thoughts are wandering and choose to focus your thoughts on things that are actually serving you. By understanding what is going on in your brain with the help of technology like Muse, you can shift your relationship to your experience of life.

How To Embrace Mindfulness Every Day
Mindfulness can help you see the world differently. By truly experiencing what you are doing on a daily basis, even if it’s just putting on your moisturizer or going for a walk, you can practice mindfulness until it becomes an unconscious habit. It is possible to turn any practice in your day into a mindful moment that can reduce your stress, calm down your brain, and help you focus instead of being distracted.
Are you willing to spend 3-5 minutes per day soaking in the enormous benefits of meditation, reducing your anxiety and fear biases, and applying mindfulness into your daily life? Share what you loved most about Ariel’s science-based approach to meditation and mindfulness with us in the comments section of the episode page.

October 27, 2020236: The Truth about Metabolic Dysfunction and How to Address It Head On w/ Dr. Casey Means
If You Want To Understand Your Metabolism Better You Should:
Understand which of your lifestyle practices are contributing to the vicious cycle of insulin resistance
Learn what your body needs to process energy effectively by continuously monitoring your blood glucose levels
Implement simple behavioral changes by increasing your accountability and awareness of your bodies levels

Did you know that almost 90% of Americans deal with some type of metabolic dysfunction? Metabolic dysfunction is, by far, one of the biggest epidemics in this country and can impact everything from your mood to the health of your immune system.
However, it doesn't have to be this way! It is possible to monitor which foods are sabotaging your insulin, metabolism, and energy levels so that you can limit your risk of chronic illness and start to heal your insulin sensitivity.

Taking Hold of Your Metabolism and Your Health with Dr. Casey Means
Dr. Casey Means is a Stanford trained MD, biomedical researcher, and surgeon-turned-metabolic health evangelist. As Chief Medical Officer of pioneering digital health startup Levels, she’s leveraging breakthrough technology to solve metabolic dysfunction.
Dr. Casey is passionate about scaling the behavioral changes necessary to create conditions in the body that allow for thriving metabolic health, stable glucose levels, and less inflammation. By merging what we know about medicine with digital tools and products, Dr. Casey is bringing root cause medicine into the digital era.

Why Metabolic Health Matters
The truth is, no part of your body is safe from metabolic disease if you do not treat it right.. The good news is that your body can become metabolically fit again with the right behavioral changes. These changes are low hanging fruit that can help you control your insulin and get on top of your symptoms.
It is not just food that impacts your glucose levels. Food timing, sleep, exercise, and stress all play major roles in your metabolic health. These factors are also closely linked to many chronic illnesses and show the importance of making your metabolic health something that you care about as early as possible.

Continuous Glucose Monitoring of the Future
Traditional glucose monitoring systems have many limitations and do not provide a holistic overview of all of the varied reasons that your glucose could be spiking. This is why Dr. Casey and her team at Levels have developed software to help people track their numbers and find actionable solutions.
Dr. Casey believes that everyone can uplevel their lives by getting their metabolic health in check. By tracking and measuring how your own unique body reacts to the environment that you place it in, you can start to take action and improve your metabolic and overall health.
Do you or someone you know struggle with metabolic dysfunction, insulin sensitivity, or chronic inflammation? Share this episode with them and let me know what actionable behavioral change you will start implementing into your routine in the comments section of the episode page.
