Let’s Talk Sh*t

What are the things you do regularly that actually make your life better? Not the habits everyone tells you to have, but the people, routines, and experiences that genuinely change how you feel.

That question stayed with Lisa after a woman who had recently lost her husband shared that going to the gym had been a lifesaver. It wasn't only the exercise. It was the community waiting for her there, the people who noticed when she showed up, and the relationships that extended beyond the workout.

Lisa looks at what moves the needle in her own life and Jim's. Exercise makes the list, but so do meaningful conversations, good food, quality sleep, family traditions, evening walks with Rocky, and laughter. The point isn't to copy Lisa's list. It's to figure out what fills your tank and make more room for it.

In this episode, Lisa explores:

• Why exercise can provide movement and meaningful community

• How everyday conversations and connection move the needle

• Why good food and quality sleep are non-negotiables

• The Sunday tradition of faith, food, and family

• How to identify what matters and make more room for it

Key Moments

01:36 – Grief sparks the question: What moves the needle?
10:06 – Exercise, community, and showing up
14:51 – Conversations, connection, and good food
21:57 – Why sleep is one of Lisa's non-negotiables
28:49 – Faith, food, family, and Sunday traditions

The Clancy case may be what prompted this conversation, but Lisa isn't breaking down evidence or trying to solve a case. Instead, she's using it as a starting point for a much bigger conversation about depression, postpartum struggles, and what can happen when someone is suffering more than the people around them realize.Lisa looks back at her own postpartum experiences after having four sons, including anemia, exhaustion, C-section recoveries, grief within the family, and a period after her fourth son's birth when she knew she wasn't herself. She shares the moments when other people recognized that she needed support, sometimes before she was willing or able to ask for it herself.From there, Lisa talks about the practices she personally turns to for her physical and emotional well-being, including nourishing food, getting outside, movement, and human connection. Most importantly, she makes a case for actually showing up when someone in your life is going through a birth, loss, illness, surgery, or another major transition. Sometimes support isn't asking, "Do you need anything?" It's making the dinner, taking the walk, watching the baby, or simply putting eyes on someone you care about.

In this episode, Lisa explores:

• Why the Clancy case prompted a bigger conversation about depression
• Lisa's own experiences after pregnancy and C-section recovery
• The role movement, food, outdoor time, and connection play in Lisa's routine
• Why people who are struggling may not ask for the help they need
• How to show up for someone during a difficult season of life

Key Moments

03:08 – Why the Clancy case opens a bigger conversation about depression

09:20 – Lisa looks back at her own postpartum health struggles

16:31 – The postpartum period when Jim realized something wasn't right

29:43 – Movement, exercise, and getting outside as part of Lisa's personal routine

Fifty women showed up for the first Let’s Talk Shit Live in Omaha, and some of the best moments came when Lisa handed over the microphone. The questions were practical, personal, and exactly the kinds of things that come up when you're trying to eat well and take care of your gut in real life.In this episode, Lisa revisits four of the conversations that stuck with her after the event. She shares how to make cooking for one or two feel worth the effort, what might be hiding in your daily coffee, and why she would rather see you get your protein from real food than rely on bars and powders. She also takes listeners behind the scenes of Simply the Best and explains why changing your gut isn't about white-knuckling your way through cravings.Along the way, Lisa gets into food labels, stress and digestion, RED-S, and what it can look like when a body needs patience and nourishment instead of another extreme approach.

In this episode, Lisa explores:

• How to make cooking for one or two easier and more enjoyable
• What to consider when choosing coffee and creamer

For 27 years, Byron wasn't simply the man who lived next door. He and his wife watched Lisa and Jim go from young parents with little boys to empty nesters. He watched their four sons grow up, witnessed the chaos of dogs and backyard life, and became the neighborhood's unofficial weather correspondent through something affectionately known as "the rain report."

Then, on an otherwise ordinary August day, Byron suffered a massive heart attack and died unexpectedly at 86. His death left Lisa reflecting not only on grief, but on what it means to truly show up for someone when life gets difficult.

In this deeply personal episode, Lisa talks about being present during people's worst moments, the disappearing art of being a good neighbor, and the questions death forces us to confront about our own lives. If you knew how much time you had left, what would suddenly matter more? What would matter less? And who would you make sure knew that they mattered?

In this episode, Lisa explores:

• The unexpected loss of her longtime neighbor, Byron

• Why simply showing up can mean everything during a crisis

• The touching story behind Byron and Sadie

• How "the rain report" became part of their neighborhood

• What mortality can teach us about how we choose to live

Key Moments

04:07 – Why Byron was much more than the neighbor next door

10:13 – Lisa and Jim arrive at the hospital and learn Byron is gone

16:10 – The touching moment involving Byron's beloved dog, Sadie

19:26 – The final Rain Report and a neighborhood tradition comes to an end

42:00 – If you knew your last day, how would you live differently?

The conversations surrounding COVID may still stir up strong opinions, but Lisa wants to take this one somewhere more useful: what can you do today to better support your body when illness eventually comes your way?

Lisa looks back at her family's experience during the pandemic, including the decisions they faced around vaccination, her own experience with the return of childhood asthma symptoms, and the questions that experience raised for her about immune health. Rather than debating the past, she uses it as a starting point for a conversation about becoming more proactive with your health.

From vitamin D and sunlight to sleep, movement, sweating, liver support, and especially gut health, Lisa walks through the everyday habits she believes create a stronger foundation for the body. The goal isn't to wait until you feel terrible and scramble for answers. It's to build supportive habits now so they're already there when you need them.

In this episode, Lisa explores:

• Her family's personal experiences during and after COVID

• Why early symptoms can be a signal to slow down and pay attention

• The connection Lisa draws between gut health and immune health

• How sunlight, sleep, movement, and sweating fit into her routine

• Why building healthy habits before illness strikes matters

Key Moments

07:47 – Lisa shares what happened after she contracted COVID

12:59 – Why small symptoms can be your body's invitation to pay attention

19:46 – Lisa shifts into the everyday habits she uses to support immune health

As summer winds down and fall begins, Lisa makes a handful of intentional changes to the way she eats, sleeps, moves, and takes care of her body. In this episode, she walks through seven seasonal shifts she uses to work with the changing season instead of trying to maintain the exact same routine all year.

From choosing seasonal produce and warming up your meals to adjusting your bedtime and exercise routine, Lisa explains why our bodies may need something different as the days become shorter and cooler. She also shares how morning sunlight fits into her routine, why she prioritizes getting outside even when the weather changes, and how she approaches seasonal detoxification.

Finally, Lisa turns to gut and immune health as fall approaches. With the holidays around the corner, she encourages listeners to use this transition as an opportunity to understand what their bodies need now, rather than waiting until they're exhausted, run down, or struggling later in the season.

In this episode, Lisa explores:

• How to shift your food choices with the changing seasons

• Why warmth, sleep, and morning routines matter as days get shorter

• How Lisa changes her exercise routine throughout the year

• Why she uses the end of summer as a time to reset

• How gut health supports the body heading into fall and the holidays

Key Moments

06:44 – Seasonal shift #1: Eating foods that naturally align with the season

12:30 – Seasonal shift #2: Keeping your body and feet warmer

15:29 – Seasonal shift #3: Adjusting sleep and morning routines as daylight changes

26:21 – Seasonal shift #4: Why Lisa changes her exercise routine throughout the year

This episode looks a little different. Lisa is recording from the car on the way to Davenport with her husband, Jim, and what unfolds is a funny, nostalgic, and surprisingly tender look back at more than three decades of marriage, family, and growing up together.

Lisa and Jim revisit how they met, the early years of raising four boys, road trips, parenting philosophies, favorite music, the dogs who became part of the family, and the stories that still make them laugh years later. Along the way, Jim shares what fatherhood taught him, why he never wanted to be his sons’ “best friend,” and how food and health gradually became such a central part of their home.

At its heart, this episode is about the life built in the ordinary moments. The meals, the mess, the dogs, the road trips, the inside jokes, and the years of figuring things out together. It’s a lighter conversation, but underneath the humor is a reminder that family history is made in the moments you don’t realize you’ll miss until much later.

In this episode, Lisa and Jim explore:

• How they met and the story behind their 32-year marriage

• What raising four boys taught them about parenting

• The family road trips, traditions, and memories they still laugh about

• The dogs who shaped different chapters of their family life

• How Lisa’s approach to food and nutrition changed their home over the years

Key Moments

03:15 – Lisa and Jim share the story of how they first met

09:41 – Raising four boys and Jim’s philosophy on being their dad, not their best friend

19:58 – Jim’s anniversary surprise brings all four boys together in Florida

31:56 – Lisa and Jim look back at the dogs who became part of their family story

45:36 – Jim shares what it’s really like being married to a nutritionist

GLP-1 medications have become one of the biggest conversations in weight loss, and Lisa believes the discussion needs more nuance than simply deciding whether they are “good” or “bad.”

In this episode, Lisa breaks down what GLP-1 actually means, how the hormone works naturally inside the body, and why medications such as Ozempic, Wegovy, Mounjaro, and others can reduce appetite, slow stomach emptying, and support blood sugar regulation. She also walks through common side effects, including nausea, constipation, fatigue, digestive changes, and loss of lean muscle mass.

But this conversation goes beyond medication. Lisa explains how protein, fiber, exercise, insulin sensitivity, hunger hormones, and gut health all play a role in appetite and body composition. She also challenges listeners to ask a deeper question: what led to the weight gain, fatigue, cravings, or metabolic struggles in the first place?

This episode is not about shaming anyone for using a GLP-1. It is about understanding your options, becoming an active participant in your health, and recognizing that sustainable change still requires attention to the habits, food, and lifestyle supporting your body every day.

In this episode, Lisa explores:

• What GLP-1 is and how your body naturally produces it

• How GLP-1 medications affect appetite, digestion, and blood sugar

• Common side effects and concerns around muscle loss and digestive health

• Why protein, fiber, movement, and insulin sensitivity still matter

• The connection between gut health, hunger hormones, and sustainable weight management

Key Moments

03:38 – How GLP-1 interacts with hunger hormones, appetite, and insulin sensitivity

08:32 – The most common GLP-1 medications and potential side effects

18:10 – How protein, fiber, and real food can support your body’s own GLP-1 response

22:52 – Why Lisa believes getting to the root of weight gain matters

27:47 – Ozempic, Wegovy, Mounjaro, and the differences between GLP-1 medications

Coming home from an incredible vacation can hit harder than expected. One minute you're disconnected from work, surrounded by family, eating amazing food, and moving at a different pace. The next, Monday arrives and real life is waiting. After taking ten days off, Lisa knows that feeling firsthand.

Fresh from a family trip through Iowa, Maine, and Boston, Lisa shares how she travels without abandoning the habits that help her feel her best. Her approach isn't about restricting yourself or turning vacation into another health project. It's about keeping a few familiar anchors in place, from how you eat and sleep to how you move, so your body isn't thrown completely off course.

Lisa also explains why she leaves her normal workout routine at home, how she handles digestion while traveling, and why comfort matters more than you might think. The goal isn't to vacation perfectly. It's to enjoy the experience fully and come home without feeling like you have to punish yourself, starve yourself, or work off everything you enjoyed.

In this episode, Lisa explores:

• How to gracefully re-enter everyday life after vacation.

• Why keeping familiar eating habits can support digestion while traveling.

• Simple ways to protect your sleep away from home.

• Why walking can be enough exercise while you're on vacation.

• How to enjoy vacation food without turning your return home into a punishment.

08:07 – Why keeping your normal morning food routine matters while traveling
