Lizzie Ens Show

Why are my periods so painful? For most women, the answer is a root cause no one looked for, like dehydration, high estrogen, inflammation from sugar and seed oils, or missing vitamins and minerals. If you have been bent over in pain, stuck in bed for a day, bleeding for weeks, or not getting a period at all, you have probably been told this is just normal. Here's the thing. Common does not mean normal. And birth control can quiet heavy, painful, or irregular periods without ever fixing what is driving them.

In this solo episode of The Lizzie Ens Show, Lizzie Ens, functional nutrition coach, business owner, author of Amish Renegade, and speaker, shares the period pain she lived with as an Amish teenager and the aloe vera juice her mom found to help. You'll hear how dehydration, alcohol, and too much coffee can show up as tender breasts and harder periods, why Lizzie starts clients on a quarter teaspoon of good salt in water every morning plus electrolytes and magnesium, and how three of her clients regulated a missing period and nonstop periods lasting two and four months without birth control. Your period is information from your body. It is time to listen.

In this episode, you'll learn:

• Why are my periods so painful is a question with real answers, and Lizzie shares why heavy, bedridden, or nonstop periods are common but never something you have to accept as normal.
• Why birth control for periods can level out symptoms for some women but masks the root cause, so the same issue is often still there, or worse, once you stop.
• How dehydration slows your whole system down during your period, and why Lizzie has clients drink a quarter teaspoon of good salt in water first thing every morning.
• Why filtered water can leave you short on minerals, how electrolytes help you hydrate better, and why a caffeinated drink should never count toward your daily water.
• How tender breasts before your period can be a high estrogen symptom, and how cutting back on alcohol and supporting her liver changed it for Lizzie.
• How three of Lizzie's clients regulated a missing period and nonstop periods of two and four months through testing, nutrition, vitamins, minerals, and detox, with no birth control.
• Why PMDD and endometriosis can make painful periods even harder, plus the daily basics that help: fewer processed foods, less sugar and seed oil, more protein, magnesium, and hydration.

NOTE: This episode discusses sexual assault and abuse.

Speaking up about sexual assault means telling someone what happened to you, even when shame, fear, or the person who hurt you told you to keep quiet. If you have held it inside for years because you thought no one would believe you, you are not alone. Here's the thing. The freeze response, self-blame, and memories that surface years later are all normal ways your body handles trauma. They are not proof that it was your fault. And as the Cornell 7 case shows, victim blaming still keeps far too many survivors silent.

In this solo episode of The Lizzie Ens Show, Lizzie Ens, functional nutrition coach, business owner, author of Amish Renegade, and speaker, gets raw about the allegations in the Cornell 7 case and her own experience of sexual assault. You'll hear why 80% of sexual assaults are committed by someone you know, why you should still speak up when it was a family member, and why so many reported cases get pushed aside. Lizzie also shares why holding trauma inside can make your body sick and how to move from victim to survivor to thriver. Healing is the best thing you can do for yourself and the worst thing you can do for the person who hurt you.

In this episode, you’ll learn:

• Speaking up about sexual assault starts with knowing that shame, fear, and a perpetrator telling you to stay quiet are common reasons survivors hold it in for years, sometimes decades.
• How the trauma freeze response works, why your mind tells you it was your fault, and why memories of abuse can come back 20 or even 40 years later.
• What rape actually is, including when someone is too intoxicated or drugged to say no, when they say no and it continues, and when they are too young to understand.
• Why the Cornell 7 case is about more than one night, and how victim blaming over alcohol, clothing, or walking into a frat house ignores how trauma actually works.
• Why 80% of sexual assaults are committed by someone you know, and why speaking up about sexual assault by a family member matters even if relatives refuse to believe you.
• Why abuse in the Amish community, which Lizzie writes about in her book Amish Renegade, is only part of the story when reported cases still lead to no justice.
• How to move from victim to survivor to thriver, why holding trauma inside can make your body sick, and how healing takes your control back from the person who hurt you.

We talk about:

00:00 Speaking up about sexual assault to protect yourself

00:44 Why survivors keep sexual abuse quiet for years

01:44 What the Cornell 7 case is really about

02:53 Victim blaming and why it ignores how trauma works

Peptides for beginners starts with one simple truth: not all peptides are GLP-1s, and your body already makes its own natural peptides. If you keep seeing peptides all over your feed and you still don’t know what they are, what they do, or whether they are safe, you are not alone. Here’s the thing. Jumping in without the right education, the right provider, or the basics in place can waste your money and cause real damage inside your body.

Lizzie Ens, functional nutrition coach, business owner, author, and speaker, gets real about the peptides that made the biggest difference in her own health, all used under the guidance of her doctor, Dr. Sabrina Solt. You will hear how an eight-week cycle of thymosin alpha 1 brought her Hashimoto’s antibodies, once over 300, down close to remission, and how pairing BPC-157 and TB-500 with KPV calmed her gut inflammation within two days. Lizzie also breaks down oral peptides versus injections, why cycling matters, why she will never hand out dosages in her DMs, and why growth hormone peptides fall flat when cortisol and thyroid issues go unaddressed. If you want peptides to be the cherry on top and not a shortcut, start here.

In this episode, you’ll learn:

• What peptides for beginners really means, including why not all peptides are GLP-1s and how your body already makes natural peptides that these simply build on.
• Why oral peptides and injections both have a place, and why BPC-157 as a capsule can be a strong option if you hate needles and deal with gut or joint issues.
• How an eight-week cycle of thymosin alpha 1, an immune modulator, helped bring Lizzie’s Hashimoto’s antibodies down from over 300 to near remission, with her doctor guiding every step.
• Why pairing BPC-157 and TB-500 with KPV for leaky gut led to looser rings and less lower belly inflammation within two days, plus how KPV calms luteal phase histamine reactions.
• Where to find trusted peptides for beginners education, including Dr. Sabrina Solt’s peptide course, and why cycling on and off matters more than most people realize.
• Why growth hormone peptides and GLP-1s become a waste of time and money when high cortisol, thyroid issues, poor sleep, and nutrient deficiencies are still running the show.

We talk about:

00:00 Peptides for beginners and what peptides actually are

00:49 Oral peptides vs injections, which one should you choose

01:29 BPC-157 capsules for gut, joints, and muscle soreness

02:15 How peptides lowered Lizzie’s inflammation and high cortisol

04:00 Can thymosin alpha 1 lower Hashimoto’s antibodies

05:01 Why Lizzie will never give you peptide dosages

06:00 BPC-157 and TB-500 for muscles, joints, and gut

07:38 KPV for leaky gut and a high zonulin result

09:41 How KPV calms histamine reactions in your luteal phase

10:33 Are all peptides GLP-1s or something different

11:00 Do the basics before you ever start peptides

12:00 Why peptides fail when cortisol and thyroid are off

What causes Hashimoto's? Hashimoto's is an autoimmune condition where your immune system attacks your thyroid, and one of the most overlooked root causes is trauma you never got to speak about. If you feel exhausted all the time, your hair is thinning, foods that never bothered you now do, or you ride a roller coaster of good days and crash days, your thyroid antibodies could be the reason. Here's the thing: most doctors only check your TSH and maybe your free T4. They skip your antibodies, so you end up guessing instead of testing.

On this episode of The Lizzie Ens Show, Lizzie Ens, functional nutrition coach, business owner, author, and speaker, gets real about her own experience with Hashimoto's and what she sees again and again with her clients. You'll learn why your immune system gets confused and starts attacking your thyroid, how unspoken trauma and abuse keep your nervous system under attack, and how much family history plays a role. Lizzie walks you through the Hashimoto's symptoms she watches for, why gluten and raw vegetables can flare you up, and how the peptide thymosin alpha 1 took her antibodies from around 300 down to close to reversal. You'll also hear why she never says "I have Hashimoto's," and why the words you use about your body matter for healing from the inside out. Test, don't guess, and start using your voice.

In this episode, you’ll learn:

• What causes Hashimoto's, and why Lizzie sees trauma, abuse, and a suppressed voice as one of the most common root causes, both in her clients and in her own thyroid history.
• Why most doctors only test your TSH and free T4, and why you need your Hashimoto's antibodies tested to know if you are dealing with hypo, hyper, or autoimmune.
• How Hashimoto's actually works: your white blood cells mistake your thyroid for a foreign invader and attack it, sometimes leaving the gland with holes or nodules.
• Whether Hashimoto's can be passed down from your mom or grandma, and why family history does not mean you have to accept the same outcome for your own body.
• Why Hashimoto's fatigue often shows up as false energy followed by a multi-day crash, and how pacing yourself at events, on vacation, and during busy weeks protects you.
• How to lower Hashimoto's antibodies with nervous system regulation, daily vitamin C, cutting gluten, cooking your vegetables, and the immune modulator Moducare, plus why you have to troubleshoot.
• Why Lizzie's antibodies dropped from around 300 to close to reversal on thymosin alpha 1, and why antibody levels swing with stress, travel, and toxic fragrances like dryer sheets.

We talk about:

00:00 What one thing can lead to an autoimmune condition

00:29 Why doctors rarely test your Hashimoto's antibodies

02:34 Hashimoto's symptoms and how severe they can get

03:18 How your immune system attacks your thyroid

04:23 What causes Hashimoto's in the first place

05:05 Trauma, abuse, and suppressing your voice

05:29 Can Hashimoto's be passed down genetically

07:01 How unspoken trauma keeps your nervous system under attack

08:26 Hashimoto's exhaustion and the false energy crash

11:16 How to bring your Hashimoto's antibodies down

13:03 Thymosin alpha 1 and why antibody levels swing

14:50 Why your diagnosis does not define you

Hypothyroidism symptoms with normal labs happen when your thyroid blood work falls inside standard lab ranges but is still far from optimal for your body. You feel exhausted, foggy, cold, and nothing like yourself. Your hair is falling out, your skin is dry, and your voice feels strained by the end of the day. Then your doctor tells you your thyroid is fine. Here's the thing: normal does not mean optimal, and that gap may be exactly why you feel dismissed.

On this episode of The Lizzie Ens Show, Lizzie Ens, functional nutrition coach, business owner, author, and speaker, walks you through the signs of hypothyroidism she sees most often in her clients and lived through herself. Postpartum and breastfeeding, Lizzie assumed her exhaustion was just new mom tiredness until she was diagnosed with subclinical hypothyroidism and a TSH in the 20s. She likes to see TSH between two and three, while standard lab ranges often stretch to five or six. You will learn how TSH, free T3, and free T4 fit together, why you might be colder than everyone around you, how skipping meals slows your metabolism even more, and why magnesium can help with thyroid-related constipation. Lizzie also shares why suppressing your voice and losing touch with your purpose can show up in your thyroid. If your body keeps telling you something is off, it is time to listen from the inside out.

In this episode, you’ll learn:

• Why hypothyroidism symptoms with normal labs are so common, and how standard lab ranges built around what is normal can miss what is actually optimal for your thyroid.
• What subclinical hypothyroidism means, and why Lizzie's TSH in the 20s was so far above the two to three range she likes to see.
• How TSH, free T3, and free T4 work together, including why free T3 is the active thyroid hormone that keeps your metabolism, your inner furnace, running warm.
• The signs of hypothyroidism most women brush off as stress or postpartum, including brain fog, always feeling cold, dry itchy scalp, brittle nails, hair loss, and thinning outer eyebrows.
• Why a low appetite with hypothyroidism leads so many women to skip meals, and how undereating slows your metabolism and digestion even more, often causing constipation.
• How a strained voice and achy throat by the end of the day can point to your thyroid, and why suppressing your voice matters for thyroid healing.
• Why going to bed instead of lounging on the couch supports healing, and how knowing your purpose makes it easier to wake up motivated every morning.

We talk about:

00:00 Can you have hypothyroidism with normal labs

00:38 Postpartum exhaustion that was really my thyroid

01:49 Subclinical hypothyroidism and a TSH in the 20s

02:35 Why your voice feels strained by the end of the day

03:00 Dry skin, brittle nails, and thyroid hair loss

03:37 Why normal thyroid labs are not always optimal

05:00 Why are you always colder than everyone else

05:31 Reading your TSH, free T3, and free T4

06:57 Low mood, anxiety, and brain fog with hypothyroidism

09:00 Skipping meals, slow digestion, and constipation

10:41 How suppressing your voice affects your thyroid

12:00 Why finding your purpose is part of thyroid healing

Signs of hyperthyroidism are easy to miss, especially when they show up as heart palpitations, unexplained heat, or exhaustion that will not go away. If your heart has started racing for no clear reason, you feel hot when everyone around you is comfortable, or you wake up from a full night of sleep still tired, an overactive thyroid could be the reason. Hyperthyroidism symptoms get mistaken for anxiety, perimenopause, or plain burnout more often than not, which is almost exactly what happened to Lizzie Ens.

Lizzie Ens, functional nutrition coach, business owner, author, and speaker, walks you through the exact signs of hyperthyroidism she started noticing when her own thyroid swung from subclinical hypothyroidism into hashitoxicosis. Using her real blood work, including a free T3 level of 13 when healthy range tops out around four or five, and her Oura Ring heart rate data, Lizzie breaks down what was actually happening inside her body. You will hear why heart palpitations, feeling hot to the touch, insane nighttime itching, and constant fatigue can all point to an overactive thyroid, plus the theory she has connected it back to something deeper, suppressing your voice. If something in your body feels off and you cannot explain why, this is where you start paying attention.

In this episode, you’ll learn:

• Why heart palpitations that wake you up at night, especially without anxiety, can be one of the clearest signs of hyperthyroidism rather than stress or caffeine.
• How a simple blood panel revealed Lizzie's free T3 level had climbed to 13, more than double the healthy range, and what that number actually means for your metabolism.
• What hashitoxicosis is and why a sudden swing from Hashimoto's antibodies into hyperthyroid territory can happen even years after a hypothyroidism diagnosis.
• Why feeling hot to the touch, insane nighttime itching, and looser stools can all be overactive thyroid symptoms most people never connect to their thyroid at all.
• How to tell the difference between hyperthyroidism fatigue and normal tiredness, including why a full night of sleep can still leave you feeling like you worked out.
• Lizzie's theory that hypothyroidism and Hashimoto's are tied to suppressing your voice, and why finally speaking up may have pushed her thyroid the other direction.
• Why using an Oura Ring to track heart rate and HRV helped Lizzie catch that something was wrong before her symptoms became a bigger problem.

We talk about:

00:00 Hyperthyroidism versus hypothyroidism and the signs ahead

00:24 Why Lizzie is talking about hyperthyroidism from personal experience

01:14 What hyperthyroidism actually does to your metabolism

03:24 The moment Lizzie knew something was wrong at an event

04:29 Getting an EKG after weeks of heart palpitations

06:09 Blood work results and a free T3 of 13

07:31 What is hashitoxicosis and why her antibodies swung so high

08:00 The full list of hyperthyroidism signs to watch for

09:00 Why hyperthyroidism can leave you exhausted despite a full night's sleep

11:14 Getting a thyroid ultrasound and what it showed

13:59 Could suppressing your voice be connected to thyroid imbalance

18:38 What to do if you think your thyroid is off

Still feel fat after losing weight? Lizzie Ens says the scale was never the problem, your relationship with yourself is. If you have done the six-week program, hit your protein goals, or even used a GLP-1 and the number finally moved, but you still see yourself as overweight, not enough, or stuck repeating old patterns, this episode explains why. Self-sabotage after weight loss, body image struggles after a real transformation, and the urge to keep chasing a smaller number all trace back to the same unfinished work: the relationship you have with yourself.

Lizzie Ens, functional nutrition coach, business owner, author, and speaker, walks you through why your mind, not your meal plan, decides whether results stick, using a real client story of a postpartum mom who lost almost 30 pounds in Lizzie's six-week Undiet You program and came off her postpartum depression medication for good. You'll hear why a friend who dropped significant weight still saw herself as overweight years later, why growing up Amish taught Lizzie that shame and true freedom cannot coexist, and why the only thing actually holding you back from the body and life you want is you. If you are ready to stop settling for mediocre, this is where you begin.

In this episode, you’ll learn:

• Why losing weight on a GLP-1 or any plan does not fix a bad relationship with yourself, and why the number on the scale can drop while your self-image stays exactly the same.
• How to tell if your identity is still attached to your old body, using the real story of a friend who lost significant weight but still saw himself as overweight.
• Why your relationship with yourself, not your food or your workouts, decides whether weight loss actually sticks or whether you end up right back where you started.
• A real client story of a postpartum mom who lost almost 30 pounds in the six-week Undiet You program and came off her postpartum depression medication for good.
• How growing up Amish, wearing shame around every emotion, and eventually leaving the religion taught Lizzie what true freedom actually requires.
• Why the excuse that you do not have time for your health is really a decision, and what to do instead if money or time feel like the real obstacle.
• Why the only thing actually holding you back from the body and life you want is yourself, and how to finally stop settling for mediocre.

We talk about:

00:00 Why so many people stay stuck and never take control of their health

01:41 Why most people resist changing even when they are miserable

03:24 Inside the six week Undiet You program and how to still join

04:13 A client's nearly 30 pound postpartum transformation

08:05 Growing up Amish and why nothing today compares to the farm

10:11 How your 30s set the stage for your 40s and 50s

11:10 What is your mind really telling you

13:46 Why your relationship with yourself is the most important one

14:46 Why you can lose weight on a GLP-1 and still feel broken

16:21 Growing up in shame around every emotion in the Amish community

19:07 What is really holding you back from true freedom

22:42 Why the only thing stopping you is you

Trauma and weight loss are more connected than most people realize, and if you have done everything right on paper, tracked your food, hit your steps, and cleaned up your diet, and the scale still will not move, unresolved trauma is often the reason your body will not let go.

Suppressed emotions, unspoken resentment, and old wounds do not just sit in your mind, they get trapped in your liver, your kidneys, your lungs, and even your fat cells, and your body holds onto weight for as long as it is holding onto pain. If you are stuck despite doing all the physical work, this episode explains why the missing piece is almost never food.

Lizzie Ens, functional nutrition coach, business owner, author, and speaker, walks you through why healing from trauma and triggers has to happen before your body will fully cooperate, using real client stories including a woman whose back injury kept returning until she faced the emotion she was avoiding, and a case where forgiving a broken relationship coincided with a cancer diagnosis clearing.

You will learn why anger gets stored in the liver, fear in the kidneys, and grief in the lungs, why resentment from poor boundaries disrupts your gut microbiome, and how the same self-worth blocks that stall a business also stall your health. If you are ready to stop blaming your body and start doing the deeper work, this is where you begin.

In this episode, you’ll learn:

• Why trauma, triggers, and suppressed emotions can block weight loss even when your diet, exercise, and sleep are dialed in, and why the needle will not move until you address them.
• How specific emotions get physically trapped in the body, with anger stored in the liver, fear in the kidneys, and depression in the lungs and heart.
• Why poor boundaries and chronic resentment disrupt your gut microbiome, and how stress alone can wreak more havoc on digestion than food ever could.
• A real story of a client whose recurring back injury during workouts stopped only after she identified and released the emotion she had been avoiding.
• Why unforgiveness can show up as physical illness, including a story about how forgiving a strained family relationship coincided with a cancer diagnosis clearing.
• Why you cannot blame outside criticism or other people for your setbacks, and how every trigger is actually a gift pointing to what you need to heal.
• Why real transformation starts with getting to know yourself first, and how Lizzie's six week Undiet You program is built to help you do exactly that before the holidays.

We talk about:

00:00 Why healing your emotions matters for weight loss

02:11 Why loving yourself matters more than losing weight

02:29 The six week Undiet You program and VIP option

03:20 Growing up Amish and learning to suppress her voice

04:27 Why all of your emotions actually matter

05:03 What your mindset has to do with your health

07:10 A client's breakthrough after resisting emotional work

09:00 Where anger, fear, and grief get trapped in the body

09:11 How a client's recurring back injury traced to buried emotion

10:32 Why boundaries and resentment are blocking your weight loss

11:00 How forgiveness played a role in a cancer diagnosis clearing

16:31 Why you cannot blame other people for your setbacks

Habit stacking is the simple, sustainable strategy that makes lasting weight loss possible without another restrictive diet. If you have started and quit more nutrition programs than you can count, habit stacking is the reason some women finally keep results while everyone else yo-yos back to square one.

In this episode, Lizzie breaks down why small, stacked habits like a daily walk, tracking your food, and hitting a protein goal beat any all-or-nothing plan, and why most people quit around week three simply because the process gets boring, not because it stopped working.

Lizzie Ens, functional nutrition coach, business owner, author, and speaker, walks you through the exact framework she teaches inside her six week Undiet You program, the same one built on the habit stacking method from James Clear's Atomic Habits. You will hear a real client story of a 12 pound loss in one month with zero restriction, understand why anxiety often traces back to a lack of daily structure, and learn how to sequence your own habits so this becomes the last time you start over. If you are ready to stop dieting and start building habits that stick, this is where you begin.

In this episode, you’ll learn:

How to keep kids healthy at school starts long before the first sniffle shows up in the classroom. If your kid comes home every fall with a cough that lingers for months, functional nutrition coach Lizzie Ens says the root cause usually traces back to what they eat every day, not just the germs going around. You cannot control every hand your kid touches at school, but you can control what fuels their gut and their immune system before they ever walk through the classroom door.

Lizzie Ens, functional nutrition coach, business owner, author, and speaker, walks you through the exact back to school health routine she uses with her own son. You will hear which daily vitamin C and multivitamin she gives him, why she swapped hand sanitizer for a hypochlorous acid spray called Briotech, and what a real school lunch looks like in her house. She also shares her go to remedies, mullein drops and cold sock therapy, for when her son does get sick. This is not about shaming yourself as a parent. It is about giving your family simple, natural tools that actually work.

In this episode, you’ll learn:

• Why what your kid eats before and during back to school season directly affects how often they get sick and how quickly they bounce back, based on Lizzie's own family experience.
• The daily supplement routine Lizzie uses for her son, including a chewable vitamin C from DaVinci and a kids multivitamin, and why she believes consistency matters more than the brand.
• How hypochlorous acid, known as HOCl, works as a non-toxic alternative to hand sanitizer, and why Lizzie sprays it on her son's feet, arms, and even his nose every school morning.
• What Lizzie packs in her son's school lunch on a typical day, from sliced turkey and goat cheese to fresh fruit and gluten-free pretzels, to support his gut and immune system.
• Why mullein drops are Lizzie's go to remedy for ear discomfort, and how cold sock therapy can help break a fever or calm a cough overnight for kids and adults alike.
• The vitamin C brand Lizzie recommends for adults and older kids who can swallow pills, plus how to get 15 percent off supplements through her Fullscript account.
• Why Lizzie avoids frozen dinners and heavily processed foods for her son, and how added sugar and food dyes can disrupt a child's gut microbiome and immune response.
