Hi Listeners!  

In this episode of the Improve Energy Podcast, I sit down with someone very special—my right-hand girl, Kara. Not only has she been a huge part of our team behind the scenes, but she also began her journey with Nourish Health Coaching as a client. Kara opens up about how choosing a healthier lifestyle has transformed the way she shows up as a mom, created a positive family culture, and inspired her to think about the lasting generational impact of her choices.

We talk about the power of consistency over quick fixes, why accountability and community make such a difference, and how embracing health as a lifestyle—not a sprint—can change everything. Kara’s story is relatable, encouraging, and full of wisdom for busy moms who want to take small but powerful steps toward better energy, health, and confidence.

Hi Listeners!  

Snacking has become a way of life for most of us—but is it actually helping your health, or quietly holding you back? In today’s podcast, we’ll talk about why our bodies were never designed for constant grazing and how the snack industry convinced us we need to eat every few hours. You’ll learn how too many snacks can disrupt your hormones, slow your metabolism, and even feed the wrong bacteria in your gut. I’ll break down what’s really happening with your blood sugar when you reach for “naked carbs” like chips, grapes, or even watermelon, and why those quick bites may leave you hungrier instead of satisfied.

Of course, there are times when your body truly needs a snack—and when that happens, I’ll show you how to do it the smart way. You’ll get a list of my go-to, whole-food snack ideas that keep blood sugar steady, support gut health, and give you sustained energy—whether you’re at home, work, at a ball game, or running errands. If you’ve been struggling with low energy, stubborn weight, or constant cravings, this episode will give you the tools to fuel your body intentionally and break free from the snack trap once and for all.

Hi Listeners! 

If you’ve ever found yourself stuck—knowing you need to make a change but not following through—this episode is for you. We’re going beyond weight loss and digging into the deeper why behind your desire for health: energy, confidence, joy, and the ability to show up well for those you love. You’ll hear real client stories, learn how to shift from perfectionism to progress, and discover the power of inviting God into your wellness journey. Health isn’t just about how you look—it’s about how you live, and that starts with obedience, consistency, and grace.

We’ll also talk about how self-care is a form of worship and why developing daily disciplines—not just waiting for motivation—leads to lasting transformation. You’ll leave this episode encouraged, equipped, and reminded that it’s not about doing it perfectly—it’s about staying the course and honoring the body God gave you. Ready to start showing up for you? Let’s go!

Hi Listeners! 

In this episode, we’re diving into a major myth about anemia that could be keeping you exhausted and frustrated. If you've been told to take iron supplements to fix your low energy—but they're not helping—this conversation will open your eyes. I share my journey from what I was taught in pharmacy school to what I’ve now learned through functional and root cause medicine. You’ll discover how iron overload, not deficiency, is often the real problem—and how this contributes to oxidative stress, poor mitochondrial function, and even chronic conditions like PCOS, endometriosis, and insulin resistance.

We’ll explore how enzymes, copper, and trace minerals like magnesium play a key role in helping your body use iron properly, and how remineralizing can restore your energy from the inside out. You’ll learn practical tips to support your metabolism, avoid harmful iron sources, and why blood donations might be one of the best things you can do for your health. If you’re tired of bandaid solutions and want to feel vibrant again—this episode is for you.

I pray this blesses you!

Hi Listeners! 

In this episode, I reflect on my own health journey—from obsessive calorie counting and punishing cardio sessions to discovering a more freeing, faith-filled path to wellness. If you’ve ever thought that being healthy meant restriction, guilt, or rigid routines, you're not alone. I’ve been there, too—and now I know better. Today, I’m breaking down the 7 key habits I’ve seen in the healthiest and busiest moms I know. These women aren’t perfect—but they are vibrant, grounded, and thriving.

We’ll talk about everything from nourishing your gut, eating whole foods, and moving with joy—not stress—to making space for prayer, gratitude, and deep rest. This isn’t another "do more" checklist. It’s a reminder that your health is a gift and a tool for living out your purpose. Whether you’re overwhelmed, just starting out, or need a reboot, this episode will inspire you to make sustainable changes—rooted in truth, not trends.

I pray this blesses you!

Hi Listeners!

Is the keto diet the magic solution for weight loss—or is it another trend that leaves women feeling drained, deprived, and imbalanced? In this episode, we’re diving deep into what keto actually is, how it impacts your hormones, gut health, and metabolism, and why not all keto is created equal. From dirty to clean keto, we’ll unpack the marketing hype, the science behind ketosis, and the very real effects these diets can have on your energy, digestion, and long-term health.

I also share my personal journey of chasing quick fixes with processed “keto-friendly” foods. We’ll talk about hormone-friendly keto strategies, the dangers of extreme restriction, and why fiber, whole foods, and a cyclical approach may be the key to sustainable success. If you’re a woman trying to make sense of it all, this episode will give you the clarity (and confidence) to nourish your body in a way that works for you.

I pray this blesses you!

Hi Listeners!

If you’ve ever felt like sugar has a hold on you, you’re not alone—and you’re definitely not weak. In this episode, I’m opening up about my own journey from sugar obsession to sweet freedom. We’ll talk about why cravings happen (it’s not always lack of willpower), how sugar affects your gut and metabolism, and the sneaky ways it’s been hijacking your energy, mood, and weight loss efforts. I’ll share the small but powerful changes I made that helped me retrain my taste buds, stabilize my blood sugar, and finally feel in control again.

You’ll also get the real scoop on sugar-free alternatives—what to use, what to avoid, and why some “healthy” options may be doing more harm than good. Plus, I’ll share practical tips to enjoy treats without the guilt, including how to time your sweets for less blood sugar impact and my go-to low-sugar swaps. Whether you’re looking to cut back, ditch the sugar addiction, or simply make smarter choices, this episode will give you tools, hope, and a big dose of encouragement.

I pray this blesses you!
