Yvonne specializes in helping women target stubborn belly fat and understand what truly works (and what doesn’t) — especially during midlife, when hormones and metabolism start to shift.

In this episode, we break down some of the biggest myths about weight loss that women hear every day, and how believing them can actually hold us back from reaching our goals. Yvonne also shares what she’s seeing with clients who are taking GLP-1 medications, plus her practical tips on how to eat for long-term success — including protein and fiber sources that make a real difference.

We talk about: 

• The most common midlife weight loss myths (and the truth behind them)
• How hormone changes affect fat storage — especially around the belly
• What Yvonne recommends for clients using GLP-1 medications
• Easy ways to increase protein and fiber intake daily

Today our guest is Diane Ducarme, the host of the Migraine Heroes podcast and Founder & CEO of the Migraine Heroes app. A Harvard Business School alum with neuroscience training from HarvardX, she blends Eastern Medicine, engineering, and modern science to uncover the true roots of migraine. Her Migraine Heroes podcast shares breakthrough insights, practical tools, and real stories to help you manage your migraine—deeply and sustainably.

We dive deep into the world of migraines — exploring what really causes them, from genetics and hormones to environmental toxins. Diane explains how she found relief by combining Eastern and Western medicine, and how this approach can help you identify the root causes of chronic headaches, rather than just masking the symptoms.

You’ll learn about:

• The connection between toxins, hormones, and diet in migraine management
• How to listen to your body’s signals before pain sets in
• Practical natural remedies that actually make a difference
• Why Western and Eastern practices work better together

Whether you’ve struggled with migraines yourself or know someone who does, this episode offers real hope and tangible solutions.

In honor of ADHD Awareness Month, I’m sitting down with Chris, the co-founder of Shimmer, to explore the real-life challenges and hidden strengths of living with ADHD. Chris shares his personal journey — from being diagnosed as an adult to realizing the lack of effective behavioral support — and how that inspired her to create Shimmer, a platform designed to help people with ADHD thrive through coaching, community, and tools that actually work.

Chris shares in this episode the rate of ADHD diagnoses in adult women has gone way up, how symptoms often present differently, and why personalized behavioral strategies can be life-changing. We also discuss: 

• The different ADHD types and symptom categories
• Why medication alone isn’t always enough
• How to manage relationships, career, and overwhelm with ADHD
• The best tools, tips, and lifestyle shifts for focus and calm
• The critical role of sleep, exercise, and daily routines in managing ADHD

I learned a lot in this one and am so happy Chris was able to come on the pod! 

If you or someone you know is struggling with their ADHD, check out Shimmer — the leading behavioral support & coaching platform for ADHD. Get matched with a vetted, expert ADHD coach and work together over weekly video sessions to build the life you deserve.

Fueling Young Athletes with Clark Hardman, Co-Founder of Thread Performance

Today’s episode is especially for the moms and dads out there who are raising athletes of any age. I had the pleasure of sitting down with Clark Hardman, co-founder of Thread Performance, for an insightful conversation about nutrition and youth sports.

We dove into the importance of foundational nutrition, and why sometimes supplementation is not only helpful but necessary. Clark shared practical strategies for supporting kids in sports—whether they’re just starting out at 8 years old or competing at 18.

Some of the key topics we covered include:

• Why good nutrition matters just as much as practice and training.
• How parents can help fuel their athletes for energy, performance, and recovery.
• When and why supplements like creatine might be right for certain athletes.
• How to support picky eaters who may not be getting everything they need.
• The role of parents in encouraging balanced, sustainable habits around food and performance.

This was such a valuable conversation, and I know many of you listening have kiddos in sports or are navigating picky eating at home. You’ll walk away with actionable tips you can start applying right away.
