after all the pesticides & PFA bs going around, I decided to do a deeper dive into organic vs conventional produce, and see what’s really going on

ever since deep diving into my pcos/pmos journey, I’ve been making a conscious effort to reduces exposure to all toxic chemicals wherever possible - water filters, cotton clothing, cleaner skincare/cleaning supplies, etc.we all know ‘organic’ is better - but I wanted to see what the difference is.

I’ve also been wanting to start a garden just as a new hobby, to regulate my nervous system, to get outside for some more vitamin d, and to make my lil yard a wee bit cuter….so I took a free local gardening class, and it just made it even more urgent to start our own garden if possible due to the food crisis the US is in - raising prices of produce, plus being in control of what goes on our food.

in today’s episode I went into all the science, and do’s/don’t, and how to best source your produce based on quality & also where to get most bang for your buck

I have been constipated my entire life but it was just normal to me so I wasn’t worried about it. No doctor ever batted an eye or were concerned about it, so I just brushed it off as “this is just how I am”

NEWS FLASH…. IT’S NOT NORMAL

Just because it’s ‘common’ or has been YOUR norm, doesn’t make it okay

If you’re not pooping every single day, that should be your only health/fitness goal :)

In this episode I talked about how needing a laxative, coffee, or probiotic is not normal. How to stop treating the symptoms with a laxative and to get to the root cause of why this is happening, and some things you can implement TODAY to get some immediate relief.

Binge drinkers (drinking 5+ more drinks at one time) aren’t alcoholics — they usually drink in a social setting, or otherwise remain sober.

That was me.

But it was the binge drinking every weekend that kept me stuck. No matter how many workouts I did, or how little I ate.

Maybe you’re not binge drinking, maybe for you it’s just the one glass of wine to help you ‘wind’ down — but it actually does the opposite.

So here's the science behind why it hinders your fat loss goals & makes it harder to balance your hormones if consuming in excess, and the steps I took to let my "fun" party girl identity go, and finally find joy & happiness for the first time in my life. I quit casually drinking every weekend back in 2023 for PCOS and weight loss... and I never picked it back up.

Well I still drink on special occasions. But I learned it wasn't even alcohol that was the problem, it was that I was using alcohol to cope with stress, social anxiety, emotional discomfort, boredom, etc.

I finally stopped being so chronically inflamed, puffy, anxious, tired, hungry, and stressed. It was literally the best thing I've ever done for myself

I was working out 2+ hours a day, 5-6 days a week.No I worked 3-4 days a week, strength training only, no cardio or step goal.I thought I needed to workout MORE and eat even LESS..

but it. was. not. working.It wasn’t until I ditched the orange theory, HIIT classes, running/sprinting, cardio, step goal madness & switched to strictly STRENGTH TRAINING + WALKS that I was able to finally lose the weight (without gaining it back lol) AND balance my hormones to start reversing my PCOS.In this episode, I'm walking you through my PCOS & fitness journey and breaking down the exact steps that helped me finally regulate my hormones, and lose the weight. While working out literally 1/4 of the amount, and eating WAY more. ✨ Come say hi on IG: https://www.instagram.com/taylorhodson_/

Ever feel like your appetite has a mind of its own? 👀 I went from having ZERO appetite (starving myself, feeling nauseous around food) to becoming an actual bottomless pit who could never eat enough — and for years I thought I'd never find the middle. I just lived in a constant rollercoaster of binging and restricting.

In this episode, I'm walking you through my full appetite journey and breaking down the exact steps that helped me finally regulate my hunger and fullness cues

....

appetite regulation, hunger and fullness cues, binge eating recovery, food noise, restrictive eating recovery, intuitive eating, why am I never hungry, why can't I stop eating

In this episode, I break down why the methods most women use to chase their goals are the exact reason they burn out and quit, and what it actually takes to build a life and routine that feels sustainable instead of like a constant sprint.

I've been consistent with the basics for years. That foundation is everything, and it's still where I tell every woman to start. But once you've genuinely mastered that and something's still not right? That's when it makes sense to go deeper.In this episode I'm giving you a real, honest update on the gut protocol I've been doing for my PCOS — and exactly why you probably don't need to do it yet.What we cover:~ Why having PCOS doesn't automatically mean you need a gut protocol~ What my protocol actually looks like & why I'm doing it~ The testing I've done (GI-MAP, DUTCH test) and what working with a professional looks like~ Why 90% of problems can be solved for free with the basics — and how to know if you're actually there~ How to know when it makes sense to dig deeper📲 follow on instagram for free resources: https://www.instagram.com/taylorhodson_/🔗 Ready to do the real work?

I didn't even know what food noise was until I became a coach, and it was the #1 thing holding me back.

In this episode I break down what food noise actually is, why diets make it louder (not quieter), and the real reason it has nothing to do with food at all.

What we cover:

- What food noise sounds like (and why you probably recognize all of it)

- Why diets temporarily silence it — and why it always comes back

- The root cause no one talks about- What actually quiets it for good

This isn't another "eat less, move more" conversation. It's the one nobody's having and that no workout or meal plan will ever fix.
