About Dr. Emily Kiberd:

Hi, I’m Dr. Emily Kiberd,

Chiropractor, movement specialist, strength enthusiast, Mama to Elvis.

And I reversed my Hashimoto’s.

I believe every woman with Hashimoto’s can feel strong and confident in her body.

I help women struggling with Hashimoto’s learn how to exercise to lose weight and beat fatigue so they can feel their best and show up for the people that matter the most.

My story in a nutshell…

Three years ago, after having my first baby, I was chronically sick and didn’t feel like myself.

I was…

exhausted even after sleeping 14 hours a night

gaining weight no matter how much I worked out

struggling to finish my sentences

in chronic pain with full body joint and muscle aches

constantly injuring myself when I tried to workout

Simply, I was a shadow of myself.

Everyone told me having a new baby was “hard” and exhaustion was “normal.” I wasn’t present for my new baby and my family was under constant stress because I couldn’t function. I could barely get out of bed.

Even 12 years as a Doctor of Chiropractic medicine, I had to look past my current knowledge of biomechanical joint and muscle pain to heal my body.

The major factor that helped heal my thyroid was working out smarter, not harder, to lose the stubborn weight and beat the fatigue.

I tried the recommendations of my doctors which included go for a 20 minute walk, do yoga, pilates, or low impact exercise. But this would make my muscles ache more and my joints feel more loose.

Then I tried to go hard to lose the weight but I’d burn myself out, getting sick every couple months. I reclaimed my life and my body, by changing how I trained.

In this episode, Tina and Curtis introduce their new mentorship, Practitioner Business Lab, a 12-week program designed to help health practitioners close the gap between being great clinically and actually building a successful business. Curtis dives into what he sees every day in practice, including common mistakes with peptides and why skipping the foundations often leads to poor client outcomes. Tina shares the business side of the equation: how to create content that connects, show up more effectively on social media, and build systems that support growth instead of burnout. Together, they talk about the importance of real-world experience and case studies (not just following generic protocols or signing up for another certification) to get better results for clients and more confidence as a practitioner.

Early enrollment opens December 29th with a limited-time savings for those who join early.

Here’s what you’ll learn:

- Why peptides fall flat when clients should see incredible results

- Why your clients aren’t responding and what that actually means

- The overlooked habits and lifestyle factors that make or break peptide success

- What most practitioners never assess before ordering peptides (but should)

- The missing piece between peptide science and real-world client outcomes

- Why mentorship (not another certification) is the missing ingredient

- The blind spot that keeps clinically brilliant practitioners struggling to sign clients

- Why you feel overwhelmed by tech and how that blocks growth more than you realize

- The reason your content isn’t converting (and how to change it)

- Why staying “the smartest person in the room” keeps you broke and stuck

- How real-world case studies transform both clinical skills AND credibility

- Details about Practitioner Business Lab and if it’s right for you

Early enrollment for Practitioner Business Lab is open now through Tuesday, 1/6 (save $500): https://www.carrotsncake.com/offers/PYvFYWgt/checkout?coupon_code=PBLWAITLIST

About Curtis Gillespie Sayers:

From a young age I was in and out of the hospital suffering from health complications for as long as I can remember, breathing difficulties being the most apparent but as I grew older more serious issues began to come to light. I was diagnosed with an extremely severe case of sleep apnea, high blood pressure, high cholesterol, and a pre-diabetic status. At this time, I was also struggling with substance abuse, which would obviously contribute to my health complications, but most were from birth. After receiving the news from running tests, the doctors had informed me that I was lucky to be alive.

In this episode, Tina chats with Dr. Maria Sophocles, a board-certified OBGYN who specializes in gynecology, menopause, and sexual health. They dive into the often-overlooked topic of sex and pleasure in midlife, including Dr. Sophocles’ concept of the “bedroom gap” and her upcoming book. They talk about the physical changes that affect libido, how to communicate with your partner, and which treatments are safe and effective for improving sexual health. Dr. Sophocles shares practical tips for reclaiming sexual pleasure and why it’s so important for overall health and well-being.

Here’s what you’ll learn:

- The surprising reasons midlife women lose desire and why it’s not your fault

- The real definition of “the bedroom gap” and why it widens after 40

- The silent sexual symptoms of perimenopause most women don’t recognize

- How weight changes, energy dips, and body confidence affect your sex life

- Why communication about sex is so hard and how to start conversations

- The evidence-based treatments that actually improve libido and sexual function

- What every woman should know about midlife sexual health but isn’t told

- Dr. Sophocles’ biggest hope for women reading The Bedroom Gap

In this episode, Tina shares how our newly restructured one-on-one coaching helps women in perimenopause and menopause see real body composition changes after years of feeling stuck. Instead of cookie-cutter protocols and expensive testing upfront, we now build month-to-month, personalized strategies that actually move the needle: think toned arms, a flatter waistline, better sleep, fewer cravings, improved digestion, and more energy than you’ve had in years. Functional testing is used only when needed, and multi-phase protocols help repair metabolism, balance hormones, and build strength in a way that’s realistic and sustainable. If you’re doing “everything right” and still not seeing results, this episode will show you how the right strategy changes everything.

Here’s what you’ll learn:

- Why our 1:1 program is built specifically for women who’ve been burned before and how we put YOU back in control of the process

- What I discovered when I realized “being stuck” had nothing to do with effort and everything to do with strategy

- Why a month-to-month approach often works better than a long, pre-packaged timeline, especially in perimenopause)

- How multiple phases (not one giant protocol) led to better results for my metabolism, symptoms, and body composition

- How to invest wisely in your health so every dollar counts, whether it’s labs, peptides, or HRT

- How we redesigned coaching to focus on long-term results instead of “fast fixes” or unrealistic promises

- The hidden advantage of slow, level-by-level protocols, and why they produce better progress over time.

- Why we changed our entire coaching model to make results more accessible, more flexible, and more sustainable for women 35+.

I was diagnosed with an extremely severe case of sleep apnea, high blood pressure, high cholesterol, and a pre-diabetic status. At this time, I was also struggling with substance abuse, which would obviously contribute to my health complications, but most were from birth. After receiving the news from running tests, the doctors had informed me that I was lucky to be alive.

My psychological health was greatly impacted by my physiological health, evoking feelings of anger, and negativity which caused me to constantly argue with people around me. This affected several of my relationships and was creating a miserable life.

This lead me to seek out the help of a bodybuilding coach (not knowing a damn thing about health at the time). The main focus was “getting shredded,” not understanding how much internal health affects one’s physique. Interestingly enough, shedding the weight had really helped with my sleep apnea, but still, quite a few health complications were present. At this time hunger was ignited in me to learn more. I became determined to solve what was going on in my body.

I decided to acquire my first nutrition certification through the ISSA (International Sports Science Association).

In this episode, Tina chats with Dr. Holly Wyatt, an endocrinologist with over 20 years of clinical experience in long-term weight loss maintenance. She discusses the complexities of weight regulation, the role of hormones, and transitioning from weight loss to maintenance. She emphasizes the importance of physical activity, proper meal timing, and a supportive environment in sustaining weight loss. She also deep dives into the impact of GLP-1 medications and strategies for maintaining weight after discontinuing these drugs.

Here’s what you’ll learn:

- Why “doing everything right” can still leave you stuck

- The silent ways your environment shapes your metabolism

- How living in fat-loss mode for too long backfires on your body

- How to know when it’s time to move from fat loss to maintenance

- The shift that separates short-term results from lifelong success

- What to do before layering in advanced supports like peptides or hormones

- Why meal timing might matter more than calorie math

- The key mindset change every woman needs for sustainable results

About Casey Young:

Casey Young is a Registered Dietitian & Certified Personal Trainer. She has over 20 years of experience in the field of health & nutrition.

She earned a Bachelor's Degree in Dietetics from Central Michigan University in 2002- the same University her oldest son attends currently! In 2010, she earned a Master's Degree in Nutrition from CMU as well.

She has worked in a variety of settings including public health and in the outpatient clinical setting. Her primary interest has always been in weight management, and while she was able to do some of this in the clinical setting, she had a better idea.

She knew her clients could see better success with weight loss if they had more support and encouragement than what their insurance covered, so she built a program to better meet these needs.

In January 2019 she started her business, Inspire Health & Wellness. She didn't have a clue about running a business, but she had a passion, and she knew she could help people. She created a Facebook page and a flyer, and she got to work!

Soon after she started her business it was evident to her that nutrition & fitness go hand and hand, and while she had always been active, She didn't have the knowledge or training to support others with their fitness. She has since become a Certified Personal Trainer, and she so enjoys the fitness aspect of her work.

She includes insights into who should consider weaning off GLP-1, different strategies for tapering off, and the importance of a gradual approach to prevent rebound weight gain. She also covers signs of metabolic stability versus struggle during the transition, managing appetite and energy, and practical nutrition and lifestyle strategies to support the body through the weaning process. Tina also highlights consulting with a healthcare professional before making any changes to one's GLP-1 routine.
