In this powerful episode of Restore the Real, Dr. Randy sits down with Michelle Hernandez—a board-certified nutritional endocrinology and insulin resistance coach—to explore how burnout, grief, and high-achieving pressure can erode our health… and how we reclaim it.

Michelle shares her transformative journey from health IT executive to holistic health coach, revealing how the loss of her two brothers during the pandemic became the catalyst for a major life pivot. She now helps midlife women rebalance their hormones, reduce inflammation, and reset their metabolism using simple, nourishing solutions—including her innovative cookbook Just Add Water.

Whether you’re dealing with chronic stress, feeling out of alignment, or trying to find yourself again after burnout, this episode offers inspiration, practical tools, and a gentle reminder: it’s not about doing more—it’s about doing differently.

💡 Key Takeaways:

• Why high-performing women are especially vulnerable to metabolic burnout
• How “Just Add Water” meals simplify nutrition without sacrificing health
• The role of adaptogens, seed-based snacks, and hormone-friendly ingredients
• How the Living Light Reset helps restore clarity, sleep, and nervous system balance
• The surprising impact of rest on weight loss and self-rediscovery

🧠 Memorable Quote:

“Eating is an activity, not an afterthought. When we slow down and make space, that’s where healing happens.”
