This summer I spent almost a whole month eating my way through Europe–pasta, pretzels, gelato, french fries–all the things I would normally avoid.
But when I finally came home, I hadn’t actually gained any weight.
It’s pretty crazy, especially when I realize that five years ago one little cheat meal would leave me three pounds heavier and spiraling with guilt for weeks.
But the difference isn't willpower—it's metabolic flexibility.
And once you understand what that actually means, everything about weight loss starts to make sense.
I talk a lot about all the things you can do to lose weight, but not nearly enough about the freedom that happens when you actually HEAL your body.
Because when I started doing all the research, I basically discovered that pretty much everything I'd ever been taught about losing weight was backwards.
The calorie counting, the restriction, the willpower—all of it was actually making my problem worse. And the moment I stopped fighting my body and started working with it instead? That's when everything clicked.
And so today we're going to talk about why that whole approach is completely backwards. We're diving deep into metabolic flexibility—what it actually means, why it's the real game-changer for your health, and how you can stop fighting your body and start working with it instead.
By the end of this episode, you'll understand why every diet has failed you, what your body actually needs to burn fat efficiently, and how you can finally get the food freedom you've been dreaming about.
Plus, I'm going to share something pretty exciting I'm launching that can help you put all of this into action for the last 90 days of this year.
So let’s dig in.

If you’re trying to get healthy, lose weight, fix your hormones, or heal your gut—but you’re still buying meat from the grocery store—you might be missing the most important piece of the puzzle.
Because what you eat matters—but what your food ate (and the soil it was grown in)?
Believe it or not, that matters even more.
Today’s guest is going to explain exactly why—and once you hear it, you’ll never look at your plate the same way again.

It’s easy to think about goals at the beginning of the year.
It’s that fresh start season, “new year, new you” and all that jazz.
Everyone’s talking about resolutions, so you do too.
And then promptly forget about them, come February or March. By the time summer hits, all those good intentions have been long forgotten, and then fall comes and almost feels like…what’s the point?
The holidays are right around the corner, so you might as well wait until next year.
Right?
And I get it. But I don’t buy it. Because what I’ve learned over the past 15 years of being super intentional with my goals, is that 90 days is actually a long time.
Long enough to make real progress on anything you want for your life.
Long enough to see real results, but still short enough to keep you focused.
Even in the midst of a busy season.
And I believe that you have the power to make this your best quarter yet. Not next year. Not when life gets less crazy. Right now.
This year, we’re not limping to the finish line.
So let’s dive in.
Ever feel like your brain just won’t shut off—like the anxiety is constant, sleep is a struggle, and your mood is all over the place?
You’ve tried meditating. You’ve cut the caffeine. You’ve even taken the supplements.
But what if the real problem is that your brain’s brakes aren’t working?
Today we’re diving into GABA—what it is, why it’s so often ignored, and how you can actually fix it without relying on a pill that doesn’t work.
We’re going to be chatting with Dr. Scott Sherr, a Board-Certified Internal Medicine Physician and expert in Health Optimization Medicine, and a total powerhouse when it comes to cutting-edge brain and body science.
And today’s topic is one that I honestly think every woman over 40 needs to understand—especially if you’ve ever struggled with anxiety, insomnia, depression, or brain fog. Because the truth is, a GABA deficiency might be at the root of all of it.
We’re unpacking what GABA is, why most clinicians never even test for it, and why GABA supplements don’t actually work the way you think they do. Plus, how you can naturally support your brain through food, lifestyle, and science-backed strategies.
This is such a good conversation, and I know you’re going to get so much out of it—so let’s get into it.

And here’s the bad news: Your metabolism IS broken.
But there is some good news too.
It doesn’t have to be broken forever.

You know that feeling when you're trying to eat healthy and you're totally crushing it...and then out of nowhere, you're hit with this irresistible need for something sweet?
And suddenly, it's ALL you can think about—that donut you saw in the break room, or the pint of ice cream in your freezer, or the leftover halloween candy you hid from your kids.
Welcome to sugar addiction and—news flash—even if your cravings aren't for sweet things, but other high carb foods like bread or pasta or potato chips—it still comes down to sugar.
The good news is that there IS a way to break free and retrain your brain, which is why in this episode we're going to take a dive deep into the science of sugar addiction, and talk about what's really going on in your body and your brain when you consume sugar, and how you can use that knowledge to your advantage to actually RESET your brain and get off the sugar rollercoaster for good.
