The fitness industry has made women’s health feel unnecessarily complicated. We’re told to cycle-sync our workouts, avoid training fasted, wear weighted vests, track every body-composition metric and constantly adjust our routines based on hormones, cortisol and the latest wellness trend.

In this episode, Dr. Lauren Colenso-Semple, PhD,  joins us to separate fitness fact from social media fiction. We break down whether women actually need to train differently than men, what cycle syncing gets wrong, whether walking counts as exercise, and what strength training and cardio should realistically look like.

We also get into creatine, protein needs in midlife, HRT and muscle loss, body recomposition, DEXA scans, smart scales, grip strength, weighted vests, fasted workouts and the growing and concerning-world of unregulated wellness peptides.

For so many women, midlife becomes the moment they feel like they need to control their bodies more.

Eat less. Cut carbs. Increase protein. Start fasting. Fix your cortisol. Track everything.

But what if perimenopause and menopause are not the time to start another diet?

In this episode, we’re joined by Dr. Jenn Salib Huber, a naturopathic doctor, registered dietitian, menopause nutritionist, and author of Eat to Thrive During Menopause, for a refreshing conversation about intuitive eating through midlife.

We talk about why perimenopause can create a second wave of body dissatisfaction, how years of dieting can disconnect women from their hunger and fullness cues, and what it actually means to rebuild trust with your body.

Dr. Jenn breaks down the difference between eating whatever you want and true intuitive eating, why satisfaction is such an important part of nutrition, and how restriction can fuel the exact overeating patterns women are trying to avoid.

We also get into the biggest midlife nutrition conversations happening online, including metabolism changes, protein, carbohydrates, soy, dairy, creatine, calcium, intermittent fasting, “cortisol belly,” and whether women really need to completely overhaul the way they eat during perimenopause and menopause.

This episode is not about ignoring nutrition or giving up on your health. It is about learning how to nourish yourself without spending the next several decades tracking, restricting, and constantly feeling like your body is a problem that needs to be fixed.

You can find Dr. Jenn Salib Huber on Instagram at @menopause.nutritionist, and her book, Eat to Thrive During Menopause, is available wherever books are sold.

We're more connected than ever before... so why does it feel like everyone is exhausted, anxious, overwhelmed, and lonely?

This week on Girls Gone Wellness, we're joined by renowned psychologist, bestselling author, and speaker Dr. Jody Carrington for one of the most thought-provoking conversations we've ever had.

Together, we unpack why we're living through a loneliness epidemic, how constant notifications and technology are keeping our nervous systems in a perpetual state of stress, and why our brains simply weren't designed for the way we live today.

We also dive into:

• Why loneliness, not mental illness, may be the bigger crisis.
• What social media is really doing to our brains.
• The importance of emotional regulation (and why you can't just tell someone to "calm down").
• Modern dating, relationships, and why connection feels harder than ever.
• Practical ways to regulate your nervous system and reconnect with yourself and the people around you.

This is one of those episodes that will make you look at your phone, your relationships, your daily habits, and even your own nervous system completely differently.

If you've ever felt burnt out, disconnected, or like life just feels... heavier than it used to, this conversation is for you.

You can be an incredible clinician and still have no idea how to run a business, and that’s exactly where so many new practitioners get stuck.

In this episode, we’re joined by Dr. Meghan Walker to talk about the part of healthcare education that rarely gets enough attention- how to actually build a practice that is sustainable, profitable, and impactful.

We get into the uncomfortable but necessary conversations around charging for care, pricing your services, building demand, creating a personal brand, and why “I just want to help people” cannot be your entire business strategy. We also talk about niching, social media, email lists, AI tools, burnout, and the systems that help practitioners take their time back without lowering the quality of care.

Whether you’re a student, new grad, clinician, or entrepreneur in the wellness space, this episode is your reminder that making money and helping people are not opposites and building a real business might be one of the most powerful ways to get your work into more people’s hands.

What if the problem isn’t that you’re “too ambitious” -it’s that you’re surrounded by people who are uncomfortable watching you grow?

In this episode, we’re joined by Renee Warren, founder of The Pink Skirt Project, for a no-BS conversation on confidence, entrepreneurship, relationships, and what it actually takes to build a life that feels aligned.

We get into why so many women struggle with self-doubt, why confidence is a skill you build through action, and why “balance” might be the most overrated goal of all. Renee shares how women can stop shrinking to keep other people comfortable, how to know when your work is passion versus avoidance, and why the right partner, friends, mentors, and community can either expand your vision or quietly hold you back.

We also talk about motherhood, outsourcing, buying back your time, networking in a new city, and becoming the kind of woman who supports other women without jealousy, comparison, or weird competitive energy.

Should women really be training differently than men?

If you've spent any time in the wellness space, you've probably heard that women should avoid intense exercise, cycle sync their workouts, be careful not to spike cortisol, and definitely not lift too heavy if they don't want to get "bulky."

But what if some of the most popular fitness advice for women is actually holding us back?

This week, we're joined by Dr. Alyssa Olenick, PhD, exercise physiologist, sports nutritionist, coach, ultra-marathon runner, and one of the leading voices challenging fitness myths online. Alyssa's research focuses on exercise, metabolism, sex differences, menstrual cycle physiology, and menopause, and she isn't afraid to question the narratives that have become commonplace in women's wellness.

In this episode, we discuss:

✨ Why Dr. Alyssa believes more women could benefit from training more like men
 ✨ The truth about muscle growth and getting "bulky"
 ✨ What the research actually says about cycle syncing
 ✨ How hormones impact exercise performance
 ✨ Birth control, PCOS, menopause, and training adaptations
 ✨ Why muscle mass and bone density should matter to women in their 20s and 30s
 ✨ The dangers of chronic dieting and under-fueling
 ✨ Whether walking and Pilates are enough for long-term health
 ✨ The key types of exercise every woman should be including in her routine

This conversation challenges a lot of what we've been told about women's fitness and offers a refreshing, evidence-based perspective on building a stronger, healthier body for life.

Whether you're a gym lover, a Pilates girl, a runner, or someone who's just trying to figure out what actually matters, this episode is packed with practical takeaways.

Today we’re joined by Dan Feldman, registered dietitian, personal trainer, competitive powerlifter, and the creator behind Powerlifter Dietitian. 

We loved this episode because we get into the big trends and conversations in the health and nutrition space and get into the science behind why alot of these claims are completely overblown. We talk about the conversation behind carbs and gaining weight, insulin spikes,  Diet Coke and gut health, how much protein you actually ned, fasted workouts and hormones, and so much more.

This episode breaks down all of this confusion and gives you tangible information and tips where you can become more confident again in your nutrition and fitness goals!
