In this episode of Learning to Glow, I sit down with Yondje Choi, founder of OMA, to talk about the power of seaweed, warm foods, Korean wellness traditions, and simple daily rituals that support digestion, skin, energy, and overall health.

She shares the beautiful story behind OMA and how her mom inspired the company after showing up at the hospital with homemade Korean seaweed soup, just one day after giving birth. That moment of nourishment became the heart of the brand.

What we talked about:

• Why seaweed is considered a superfood for thyroid health, hormones, metabolism, digestion, skin, and hair

• The iodine gap and why many modern salts do not contain iodine

• The benefits of warm foods, warm water, broth, and soup for digestion and energy

• Skincare wisdom from her grandma

• The power of small habits, simple routines, and consistency over perfection

"You're only one mind shift away" 

In this episode of Learning to Glow, I sit down with Miguel Bautista, founder of CFS Recovery, to uncover what may really be behind the exhaustion, brain fog, crashes, and burnout so many women are experiencing.

I loved chatting with Miguel because he shares such helpful insight into how an overwhelmed nervous system can impact women’s health, weight loss goals, energy, and overall well being. We also talk about where to start if you feel stuck, depleted, or like your body just is not responding the way it used to.

In this episode, we talk about:

• What nervous system overwhelm can look like in everyday life

• How stress and burnout can affect energy, health, and weight loss goals

• Simple places to start if you are feeling exhausted, foggy, or burned out

In this episode, I sit down with Katie, a registered nurse turned functional nutrition counselor, to talk about what it really means to support women’s health from a root cause perspective.

We talk about how functional nutrition for women can help connect the dots between common symptoms like energy crashes, weight loss resistance, anxiety, eczema, bloating, reflux, PMS, perimenopause symptoms, menopause symptoms, and hormone-related changes.

What We Talk About in This Episode

• Functional nutrition for women and why Katie focuses on root causes instead of chasing symptoms one by one
• Common symptoms Katie sees in women, including energy crashes, weight loss resistance, anxiety, chronic stress, eczema, skin concerns, bloating, reflux, gas, PMS, perimenopause, and menopause symptoms
• Why Katie considers sleep, poop, and blood sugar balance three of the most important foundations for women’s health
• Simple blood sugar tips 
• Why breakfast timing and caffeine timing can affect cortisol, blood sugar, stress, and afternoon energy crashes
• Realistic meal prep and ingredient prep tips for busy moms

One of the biggest reminders from this conversation is that the basics are often the most powerful place to start. Sleep, digestion, and blood sugar balance may sound simple, but they can have a major impact on energy, mood, hormones, cravings, skin, gut health, and stress.

Today I’m joined by hormone expert Robin Nielsen to talk about how hormones can have a huge impact on perimenopause weight gain and so much more.

Robin shares her own hormone healing journey after years of symptoms like acne, fatigue, brain fog, digestive issues, mood struggles, and even things you might not immediately connect to hormones, like dry, cracked heels, rough elbows, varicose veins, and gum and enamel issues.

What I loved about this conversation is how Robin explains hormone balance in a way that feels simple and doable. We talk about why it’s not always just about estrogen and progesterone, and how stress, blood sugar, toxins, and daily lifestyle habits can all affect how our bodies feel and function.

Robin is incredible and so knowledgeable, and I loved talking to her!

In this solo Learning to Glow episode, I’m recapping my five day Costa Rica yoga retreat and why it convinced me to make this a yearly priority.

The biggest takeaways:
Deeper connection: with friends, an amazing group of women, nature, and my own body
Time and space to actually be present with yoga, meditation, and workshops
The reset that comes from stepping out of your routine and comfort zone

We also got into powerful workshops on “side quests” (aka saying yes to spontaneity) and unpacking insecurities and negative self-talk.

This trip reminded me how important it is to do things that fill your cup, even if they feel out of reach or outside your norm.

Our Guest is Simi Khanna with Simi Beauty, and we’re talking about Ayurvedic hair practices, scalp health, and why everything really starts at the root.

But we also go deeper into her personal story, including a five year experience with blurry vision that was ultimately tied to stress and her nervous system. She shares how that completely shifted her approach to healing and what she actually did to achieve that.

If you struggle with hair loss or unhealthy scalp stay to the end as she shares a really great way to stimulate hair growth.

In this episode, I’m talking with Dr. Catherine Clinton, a licensed naturopathic physician and author of Optimize, about a completely different way to look at health.

After being diagnosed with autoimmune conditions, Lyme disease, and multiple infections during medical school, she started asking deeper questions and found her way into quantum biology. 

We talk about how your body responds to things you can’t even see like light, sound, and electromagnetic fields and why those signals actually guide your biology before chemistry ever does.

We also get into simple, practical things you can start doing right away that make a huge difference.

• Why morning sunlight is one of the most powerful things you can do for your hormones, mood, and metabolism
• How indoor lighting is affecting your energy and circadian rhythm
• What grounding actually is and why it can help with stress and inflammation
• A simple 5 minute heart coherence practice that can calm your body fast

If you’ve been feeling off, low energy, or like you’re doing all the right things but not getting results… this might be the missing piece.

If you’re in your 30s or 40s and starting to think about things like brain health, muscle loss, or bone density… this episode is one you want to listen to.

In this episode, I’m talking with registered dietitian Kristin Kirkpatrick from the Cleveland Clinic about what actually matters when it comes to protecting your brain, maintaining muscle, and supporting your bones especially as estrogen starts to decline.

We talk about Alzheimer’s risk starting decades before symptoms, what kind of nutrition actually supports your brain long term, and the simple habits that can make a big difference.

We also get into omega 3s, creatine (which is really interesting for women), and what you should actually be paying attention to when it comes to supplements.

This episode is very practical, very doable, and one that just helps you feel more in control of your health moving forward.

What we cover:

• How menopause impacts your risk for cognitive decline
• A simple way to think about eating for long term brain support
• Omega 3s what to eat and how to know if you’re getting enough
• Creatine for women and how it supports muscle and brain function
• Bone health what to do now to protect it later
• The role of strength training and movement

Today’s episode is such a good reminder that beauty doesn’t have to be complicated.

I’m talking with Oni Auer, founder of ITP Beauty, about what clean beauty really means and how to approach skincare in a simpler, more grounded way.

We get into how confusing “clean beauty” has become, why education matters more than labels, and how to make safer choices without feeling overwhelmed. Oni shares her story of dealing with a skin issue that led her to completely rethink her routine and eventually create her own line.

We also talk about ingredients to be aware of, like formaldehyde, the difference between U.S. and EU standards, and how to avoid greenwashing.

But more than anything, this conversation is about coming back to simple, safe, effective skincare and not feeling like you need to constantly fix or change yourself.

We’re talking all about fragrance and how it can impact your health in ways most of us don’t even realize.

I’m joined by Sarah Griffith, founder of Treo Organics, and she shares her personal health journey, what led her to start questioning everyday products, and how she began cleaning up her environment in a realistic way.

If you’ve ever wondered about things like candles, perfumes, cleaning products, or even “clean” labels, this conversation is going to open your eyes a bit. Not in an overwhelming way, just in a way that helps you make better, more informed choices over time.

We also talk about:

• What “fragrance” actually means on an ingredient label
• Why it’s not as regulated as you might think
• Simple swaps you can make without overhauling your whole life
• How reducing your toxic load can support your overall wellness
