In this episode, I’m doing something different—reading one of my Sunday articles aloud. This article, "Wired for Safety," gained traction in an old-school viral way, and I felt it was worth sharing. This was inspired by an Instagram exchange where a woman called me a "heretical witch" for stating that the female body is an oracle. Despite her outrage, I stand by my belief that a woman’s body is designed in a way that naturally sustains life and ensures safety.

A woman’s nervous system isn’t just about her survival—it’s wired to manage her environment. Our biology is wired to assess safety, which is why we experience stress, fear, and uncertainty so intensely 

The male and female brains are structurally different, which significantly influences how each gender perceives and interacts with the world. While male brains are generally larger due to body size, female brains have stronger connections between the hemispheres, particularly in areas like the hippocampus and corpus callosum. This allows women to process emotions and logic simultaneously, whereas men tend to compartmentalize and focus on tasks sequentially. 

Recognizing and embracing these differences can lead to greater understanding and harmony in relationships, as well as a deeper appreciation for the unique strengths each gender brings to the world. I’m diving into all of this and so much more in this episode, and I hope you’ll join me. Tune in today! 

In this episode:

[02:42] The female body as an oracle.

In this episode, we're diving into the concept of using our cravings as a compass. The seasonal transition into spring, along with the time change, has been a challenge for me, throwing me off balance despite my best efforts. It's a reminder that as women, our rhythms align with nature rather than society.

The cultural narrative uses fear-based marketing to condition women to believe that healing is about fixing problems rather than embracing who they are. As a result, they get caught in an endless loop of seeking the next trendy health fix—whether it’s a supplement, treatment, or diet—without ever truly feeling better.

True healing isn’t about accumulating external solutions; it's about shedding what we are not and settling into what we truly are. Real wellness comes when we stop resisting and begin to trust our body’s natural intelligence. 

This brings us to the role of cravings. Unlike appetite, which signals a physical need for fuel, cravings are often deeper psychological or physiological messages from our bodies. Instead of suppressing or fighting them, we should view cravings as insightful indicators of what our bodies might be missing. 

The key is to approach these cravings with curiosity rather than judgment. Instead of just dismissing them or indulging mindlessly, we should use them as signals to explore what’s really going on within us. Are we reaching for certain foods because they bring us comfort, because they provide stimulation, or because they help us feel something in moments when we might otherwise feel disconnected? These are important questions to ask as we navigate our relationship with our bodies.

Tune in today and find out what can satiate your cravings!

In this episode:

[00:37] Welcome back to The Fully Nourished Podcast!
[03:11] Healing is not fixing what is broken.
[08:00] Suppressing your appetite is not serving your body. 
[09:37] Your appetite is a messenger. 
[10:38] Cravings will tell you what your body needs. 
[17:43] What do some of the most common cravings mean?
[20:07] Cravings for crunchy foods and the human chew drive. 
[22:04] The connection between sour cravings and digestion.
[25:05] Is there a connection between spicy cravings and suppressing trauma?

Food frequency… What is it? I’m not talking about the wavelength of food, I’m talking about how often you eat throughout the day. I’ve gotten a lot of questions from listeners lately asking how often they should eat and wondering if they’ll need to eat every 2 hours for the rest of their lives.

In this episode:

[01:05] Let’s talk about food frequency or the frequency with which we eat. 
[03:22] The first rule of nutrition is, “Know thyself.”
[08:28] Any changes you make in balancing your hormones will take 3-4 months to realize. 
[09:22] Learn the reasons our body will release adrenaline.
[11:32] Signs of high adrenaline and why it’s important to know thyself.
[14:56] People who don’t lean toward adrenaline dominance likely do not need to eat more frequently.
[18:13] The goal is to move back to a place of balance and equilibrium.
[19:10] Remember that the most important thing for a woman is to eat enough and frequently enough for you. 
[23:12] Important parameters to keep in mind when your consider when and what to eat.

Welcome to Episode 58 of The Fully Nourished Podcast where we dive into what it means to live with the enemy. Living with the enemy is a concept that reflects the internal and external conflicts many women experience due to biological and psychological factors. Many women exist in a constant state of low-grade survival without recognizing it, influenced by generational patterns of undernourishment and inherited struggles.

Breaking generational cycles requires us to reclaim our own narrative. It means questioning the beliefs we've carried, challenging the thoughts that tell us we're not enough, and recognizing that we have the power to shift how we show up for ourselves. As we move through this process, it’s important to give ourselves grace. Healing isn’t linear. What matters is our awareness and our willingness to keep moving forward.

Ultimately, choosing to break these cycles isn’t just about us—it’s about redefining what it means to be a woman for the next generation. It’s about showing our daughters, nieces, and younger sisters that they don’t have to inherit the struggle. It starts with us, choosing to show up for ourselves in a way we were never taught but always deserved.

Tune in today to dive deep into what it means to live with the enemy and how we can thrive and teach the women around us to thrive as well. Join me next week as well where we look more into the conscious and subconscious mind and how it works. Thanks for listening!

In this episode:

[00:37] Welcome back to The Fully Nourished Podcast!
[01:48] How does a lack of safety impact us as women?
[08:00] How are we living with the enemy within ourselves?
[11:26] Self-hatred is a generational curse.
[13:29] The women in your life and childhood can shape how you view yourself and how you behave around food. 
[14:58] How are we imprinting on the next generation? 
[17:36] The way you nourish yourself is reflected by what you feel like you deserve.
[20:09] How can you cultivate a safe environment in your own skin? 
[22:32] Thanks for listening to The Fully Nourished Podcast. See you next week!

In this episode, we explore what I call biologically appropriate nutrition. Many people approach healthy eating through the lens of diet trends, such as anti-inflammatory or weight-loss-focused regimens. This habit leads to a disjointed approach to nutrition, where people follow health trends without a clear vision of what true nourishment looks like. 

There is no singular perfect human diet because people across different environments have adapted to nourish themselves using what is locally available. In various cultures, diets include a mix of different food items depending on the region. However, in our modern world of abundance, we have access to nearly everything, which paradoxically makes it harder to make healthy choices.

For women, biological safety is the foundation of nutritional health. If the body senses scarcity, it adapts by holding onto fat as a reserve, sometimes at the expense of muscle. This survival-driven response explains why inconsistent nourishment can lead to metabolic imbalances, unwanted fat accumulation, and a sense of depletion. 

Another crucial aspect of biologically appropriate nutrition is adaptability. There is no single perfect diet for everyone, and what works for one person may not work for another. The key is to remain open to experimentation while paying attention to how different foods impact our energy, digestion, sleep, and overall well-being. Rather than adhering strictly to dietary rules or trends, the goal should be to cultivate a flexible and intuitive approach that supports long-term metabolic health.

I dive into all of these topics and so much more in this episode that really outlines why biologically appropriate nutrition is so critical in all areas of our lives. I’m excited to share it with you! Tune in today and stay tuned for more content like this! 

In this episode:

[00:37] We are diving into biologically appropriate nutrition today on The Fully Nourished Podcast!
[03:30] What is the perfect human diet?
[07:19] What is the core biological need as women and how do we nourish that? 
[15:15] Body markers and signal that can identify if you are getting biologically appropriate nutrition.
[24:36] The 4 main practices I go back to to ensure that I’m nourishing myself appropriately.
[27:04] Thanks for joining me on The Fully Nourished Podcast today!

Welcome back and happy belated New Year! We are back with episode 56 where I dive into the five wellness practices that are gaining traction in 2025 and share my perspective on which ones are worth your attention and which ones to approach with caution. I’ve noticed a lot of trends popping up in the wellness space, and I want to help you navigate them with wisdom instead of getting swept up in extremes like I used to. 

My goal is to help you rise above the noise, look at things rationally, and make choices that truly work for your body. This requires a certain level of self-awareness—being honest about what drives you—so you can make decisions based on long-term well-being rather than emotional reactions.

Listen as I dive into trends I'm watching as well as a few others to dissect the pros and cons of each one so you can make the best decision for your body and your health in 2025. Ultimately, we need to remember that it is more about respecting our food and finding what truly nourishes us. Tune in today to get the scoop on these trends and stay tuned for next week’s deep dive into biologically appropriate nutrition! 

In this episode:

[00:37] Welcome to Season 3 of The Fully Nourished Podcast!
[01:23] Jessica shares some of the crazy things she’s done in the name of health.
[03:12] The importance of self-awareness in our dietary choices and the trends we choose. 
[05:25] Getting morning sunlight in your eyes plays a critical role in metabolic health. 
[09:57] The obsession with protein continues in 2025, but is all protein created equally? 
[15:29] Whole foods and animal-based diets combine elements of paleo and pro-metabolic, but is it beneficial for everybody?
[17:56] Spring water is trending due to the mineral and nutrient content and for a few other reasons as well.
[20:05] What is cycle-based fasting and what implications does it have?
[23:57] We’re bringing veggies back.

Wow, I can’t believe we’ve already reached the final episode of our three-part Holiday Special! This series has been such a joyful way to reflect on the year, celebrate a successful podcast season, and set the stage for the new year.

Lately, I’ve been reflecting a lot on the concept of being neurodivergent and how differently our minds can work. Growing up homeschooled, I always felt like my brain operated uniquely, which shaped my identity in ways I didn’t fully appreciate at the time. My mother’s dedication to homeschooling, especially during a period when it was less accepted, profoundly impacted me. 

Our collective work is to reconnect with our Creator and reclaim the nourishment that only this relationship can provide. This realization has fueled my passion for teaching and sharing these concepts with others, to empower women to remember their inherent strength and divine connection.

As I prepare to share these lessons in the coming year, my hope is to inspire others to reclaim their lives, align with their true selves, and create from a place of abundance rather than survival. 2025 is about returning to our essence—rediscovering who we are and who we’re meant to be. I’m excited to walk this journey with you. Tune in today and ring in the new year in light and love. Cheers! 

In this episode:

[00:46] Welcome to the season finale of The Fully Nourished Podcast!
[02:47] The overuse of the term “neurodivergent” and my homeschooling experience while growing up. 
[05:05] I appreciate my mother so much, and we all need to reflect on our relationships with our mothers and how it translates to our self-mothering.
[11:22] Homeschooling teaches children how to truly learn, and it gives our children hungry minds.
[15:11] The type of homeschooling I will consider when I reach the journey of homeschooling my children.
[24:16] Every single woman possesses her own co-creative power. We just have to capitalize it.
[28:36] Thanks for joining me in the season finale of The Fully Nourished Podcast. See you next year!

Welcome back to part two of our Q&A! In this episode, I reflect on the journey that led my podcast to its current focus: exploring the profound connections between nutrition, health, and religion. Over the years, I’ve noticed patterns in the women I serve—patterns that point to something deeper than just physiology. 

As part of this journey, I’ve been questioning cultural narratives around femininity and challenging some of the archetypes that dominate our society. From the hyper-sexualized “free spirit” to the submissive “Christian wife,” many of these roles are out of alignment with true feminine energy. Unfortunately, we’ve lost touch with the art of womanhood—an experience that goes far beyond domestic skills to encompass a deep connection with our bodies and our essence. 

We dive into a question concerning weight loss, particularly the societal and generational factors influencing women’s relationships with their bodies. Beyond physical factors like metabolic health and toxin storage, psychological patterns and belief systems can drive the body’s resistance to weight loss. 

Quick fixes, such as weight-loss drugs, often bypass the body’s natural safety mechanisms, which can have unintended long-term consequences. Instead, I advocate for holistic approaches that address both the physical and emotional aspects of health, including hypnotherapy to explore subconscious drivers. 

As we embrace the holiday season, I encourage you to enjoy the opportunity that Christmas presents to be present with your family, be generous, and practice gratitude. See you in the next one! 

In this episode:

[00:46] Welcome to Episode 54 of The Fully Nourished Podcast!
[01:10] Why did I shift and expand my focus to encompass religion?
[06:42] What are the differences between true femininity and the woke, modern feminist culture we see today?
[13:10] Your growth will be based on your capacity, which will be influenced by your nourishment. 
[15:02] Where is our desire to lose weight coming from? 
[20:43] How can we trust Jesus’s recorded words from scripture? 
[23:54] How do we navigate Christmas when we are in a period of growth and transformation? 
[26:37] Thanks for joining me on The Fully Nourished Podcast today!
