GLP-1 medications are everywhere right now — hailed by some as miracle weight-loss drugs and criticized by others as risky shortcuts. But what’s the real story?

In this episode of Inspired Wellness, we dive into a balanced, judgment-free conversation about GLP-1s. Together, we unpack:

• What GLP-1s are and how they work
• The history of these drugs and why they were originally developed
• The real benefits (from blood sugar regulation to reduced “food noise”)
• The risks, side effects, and the unknowns still ahead
• Why lifestyle strategies like strength training, nutrition, and stress management matter just as much as the medication

Whether you’re curious about GLP-1s, considering them yourself, or simply want to cut through the noise of hype and fear, this episode will give you the clarity and context you’ve been looking for.

Takeaway: GLP-1s can open the door — but it’s up to you to build the path with sustainable habits.

Are you tired of pushing through fatigue, cravings, or mood swings—wondering why your body seems to be working against you? In this empowering episode, we’re exploring cycle syncing—a practical, hormone-aligned approach that helps you feel stronger, clearer, and more in control throughout the month.

Whether your cycle is regular, irregular, or even fading into the background during perimenopause, this episode will guide you through how to work with your body’s natural rhythm instead of fighting it. You’ll learn:

• What cycle syncing really means (and why it matters even if your period isn’t predictable)
• How to adapt your food, workouts, work, and self-care for each phase of your cycle
• The 4 phases of the menstrual cycle—and how to harness the strengths of each one
• Why this framework is especially helpful for women in perimenopause and beyond
• Simple, sustainable ways to start syncing your lifestyle today

This isn’t about being perfect—it’s about tuning in and making choices that support you, wherever you are in your hormonal journey.

*********************************

We all know strength training is essential as we age—but making it consistent and sustainable in real life? That’s the challenge.

In this episode of the Inspired Wellness Podcast, I sit down with Hollie Nicholson, strength coach and founder of Hollie Nicholson Strong, to talk about how women can confidently embrace strength training without the overwhelm. Whether you’re a busy mom, a corporate career woman, or simply someone who has struggled to stay consistent, this conversation will give you both the “why” and the “how.”

We cover:

• Why strength training is so important for metabolism, weight loss, hormone balance, and long-term health
• How to take the first steps if you’ve never picked up a weight (and how not to start too small)
• Simple ways to make strength training sustainable for busy women
• Misconceptions about lifting weights (no, you won’t get bulky!)
• The difference between fat loss vs. weight loss—and why the scale isn’t the full story

Hollie shares approachable, practical tools that make strength training less intimidating and more doable—so you can feel stronger, healthier, and more confident at every age.

When most people think about perimenopause, they picture hot flashes, mood swings, and other physical symptoms. But beneath the surface, hormonal changes can quietly reshape the emotional and relational landscape of a marriage—altering communication, intimacy, and the way partners understand each other.

In this candid, eye-opening conversation, Michelle White, Certified Nutritional Therapy Practitioner, and co-host Tabitha sit down with Brooke Davis — content creator, educator, and midlife relationship advocate — to explore how perimenopause impacts connection, and what couples can do to protect (and even strengthen) their relationship through this season of change.

Brooke shares her personal journey, the science behind hormone-driven emotional shifts, and practical tools for starting compassionate, blame-free conversations with your partner. You’ll learn:

• How to talk about hormone changes without sparking defensiveness
• Why “the estrogen veil” can bring old emotions and relationship patterns to the surface
• Ways to set boundaries and create emotional safety in your marriage
• Simple daily actions that build trust, intimacy, and resilience as a couple

Whether you’re experiencing perimenopause yourself or love someone who is, this episode offers the language, insight, and strategies to navigate the transition together — and come out more connected than ever.

How to start hormone conversations without defensiveness:

• “I’ve been learning about how midlife hormones can affect how we feel and connect. I’m wondering if that might be something we’re both navigating. Can we talk about it?”
• “I’ve noticed my moods have been all over the place, and I’m struggling to explain it. I’m learning it could be related to hormone changes. I want to work on this and would like for you to learn with me.”
• “I read that estrogen affects how the brain uses energy and regulates mood. That’s wild, right? I had no idea it could impact how I think or react. I want us both to understand what this means for our relationship.” 
• “Hormones are part of the picture, and I want us to learn how they’re showing up for both of us so we can meet each other with more understanding.”

In this week’s episode of Inspired Wellness Podcast, we’re diving into a topic that’s powerful, often polarizing, and deeply personal for me — intermittent fasting (also known as time-restricted eating or IF).

You’ve likely heard all the opinions:

• “It’s the best thing since sliced bread!”
• “It’s the worst thing a woman can do!”

So what’s the truth? Today, I’m breaking it down for you — the science, the options, and most importantly, how IF has impacted my own health and relationship with food over the last 4.5 years. I’ll share why I was hesitant to record this episode, how IF differs from dieting and calorie restriction, and what women in perimenopause and menopause should consider before starting.

In this episode, you’ll learn:

 What intermittent fasting really is (and isn’t)

 How it supports hormone balance, fat loss, and food freedom

 Why black coffee became my morning BFF

 How to start IF gently and sustainably

 What phases of your menstrual cycle may affect fasting

 The most common mistakes women make when trying IF

 My favorite resources for diving deeper into the world of fasting

Whether you’re a fasting newbie or a curious skeptic, this conversation is rooted in flexibility, nourishment, and honoring your body. And as always, Tabitha brings her signature curiosity and thoughtful questions to the table.

Mentioned in this episode:

• Fast. Feast. Repeat. by Gin Stephens

• Dr. Jason Fung – The Obesity Code, The Diabetes Code, and more
