Lizzie Ens Show

Have you spent years keeping the peace, saying yes when you meant no, and putting everyone else first… only to feel invisible, exhausted, and completely disconnected from who you actually are?

In this episode, Lizzie gets honest about her own journey out of people pleasing. She breaks down why so many people – especially women – struggle to speak up, why speaking up feels so threatening when you weren't taught how, and what it actually takes to use your voice in a way that earns you respect instead of just approval.

Because here is the truth: staying silent to keep the peace is quietly costing you more than you know.

In this episode, you’ll learn:

• Why people pleasers are liked but not respected and how to change that
• Why speaking up feels so hard when your voice was suppressed growing up
• How to stop people pleasing without exploding in anger or resentment
• Why "no" is a complete sentence and you don't owe anyone an explanation
• How suppressing your voice shows up physically (thyroid, hormones, nervous system, and sleep)
• How to identify your values before you set a single boundary
• The onion method for reconnecting with who you actually are
• How to recognize when you are allowing people to take advantage of you
• Why your gut is always right and what happens when you ignore it
• How to start using your voice with yourself first

We talk about:

• 00:00 Why speaking up feels so hard
• 01:30 Growing up Amish: when your voice gets silenced early
• 04:45 The difference between being liked and being respected
• 06:00 Dying on the inside while holding everyone else together
• 08:00 How to speak up effectively (anger never works)
• 11:30 The onion around your heart
• 16:00 Are they taking advantage of you, or are you letting them?

What if the symptoms you have been chasing for years are actually coming from your gut?

In this episode of The Lizzie Ens Show, Lizzie Ens breaks down one of the most powerful functional health tools available today, the GI Map test. This advanced stool test provides a detailed snapshot of what is actually happening inside your digestive system, including bacteria, parasites, yeast, inflammation markers, and how well your gut is functioning overall.

Many people struggle with symptoms like bloating, fatigue, hormone imbalance, brain fog, skin issues, anxiety, and stubborn weight changes without realizing that the root cause may be living inside the gut microbiome.

Lizzie walks through what the GI Map test measures, why conventional testing often misses gut imbalances, and how this type of functional testing helps uncover the deeper drivers behind chronic symptoms.

Instead of guessing or masking symptoms, GI Map testing allows practitioners to see the full landscape of the gut ecosystem. From beneficial bacteria to harmful pathogens, the results provide a roadmap for restoring balance and improving overall health.

If you have ever wondered whether parasites, bacterial overgrowth, inflammation, or digestive dysfunction could be contributing to how you feel, this episode offers a clear and practical explanation of how gut testing works and why it can be a game changer for long term healing.

What if the real measure of success isn’t how much money you make, but how well your body actually functions?

In this episode of The Lizzie Ens Show, Lizzie explores a powerful idea that many high performers overlook. You can have all the wealth in the world, but without your health, what do you really have?

Lizzie unpacks why prioritizing health is not a luxury or a “when I have time” goal. It is the foundation that allows everything else in your life to work. Your energy, focus, sleep, confidence, mental clarity, and emotional resilience are all directly tied to how well you take care of your body.

The conversation also tackles common social pressures that make healthy choices difficult. From navigating parties full of unhealthy food to dealing with judgment from others when you choose not to drink or indulge, Lizzie explains why staying in your own lane is essential for long term success.

This episode is a reminder that your health is not someone else’s responsibility. It is yours. And when you take ownership of it, the ripple effect impacts every area of your life, including your family, your business, and your future.

In this episode, you’ll discover:

1. Why health before wealth is the real foundation of long term success
2. How poor sleep, alcohol, and under-fueling sabotage performance and productivity
3. The ripple effect of improved health on confidence, clarity, and career direction
4. Why you do not need permission from others to make healthier choices
5. How social pressure and “fit shaming” can derail your health goals
6. Why people often resist advice until they see results modeled in real life
7. The surprising connection between eating enough calories and better sleep
8. How staying consistent with health habits inspires others without preaching
9. Why personal responsibility is the key to transforming your health
10. How your choices today influence your children’s relationship with food and health

We talk about:

1. 00:00 Health before wealth, the question that changes everything

If you are struggling with poor sleep, hormone imbalance, perimenopause symptoms, brain fog, anxiety, or stubborn fatigue, this conversation may change how you think about health.

In Episode 130, Lizzie sits down with Heidi Sime and Thaddeus Owen, founders of Dream Walkers, to unpack the science behind blue light exposure, circadian rhythm disruption, melatonin suppression, and cortisol overload.

Thaddeus shares how 16 years of insomnia and anxiety led him from pharmaceutical engineering into studying light as a biological signal. What he discovered is simple but powerful. Artificial light at night, especially blue light from LED bulbs, phones, laptops, and overhead lighting, suppresses melatonin, increases cortisol, and disrupts deep restorative sleep.

Heidi explains why women are particularly sensitive to artificial light stress. Female hormones are more vulnerable to cortisol spikes, which makes modern light exposure especially disruptive for women navigating perimenopause, burnout, and chronic stress.

If you’ve been asking yourself, “Can you actually lose weight with intuitive eating?” this episode breaks down what most women are missing.

The truth is, intuitive eating only works when you understand calories, macronutrients, metabolism, and your body’s actual energy needs. Without that foundation, intuitive eating can easily turn into undereating, overeating, hormone imbalance, or stalled fat loss.

In this episode, Lizzie breaks down what intuitive eating actually means and why so many women are misapplying it. If you’ve been told to “just listen to your body” but you’ve never learned calories, macronutrients, portions, or how your metabolism works, this conversation will challenge you in the best way.

Lizzie explains why intuitive eating is an advanced skill, not a starting point. She walks through the foundational education most women skip, including basal metabolic rate, total daily energy expenditure, protein needs, carbohydrate myths, and how chronic undereating keeps your body stuck in survival mode.

You’ll learn why tracking is not about obsession, but education. Why eating more often leads to better results. Why carbs are not the enemy. And how digestive enzymes, gut health, parasites, heavy metals, and inflammation can quietly block progress, even when your habits look “perfect” on paper.

This episode reframes intuitive eating as the end goal, not the entry point, and gives you a grounded, structured path toward metabolic health, hormone balance, and sustainable fat loss.

If you’re eating well, moving your body, prioritizing sleep, managing stress, and still watching the scale refuse to move, this episode is for you.

Lizzie breaks down why weight loss resistance is rarely about willpower or calories, and almost always about what’s happening beneath the surface. From chronic stress and nervous system dysregulation to inflammation, insulin resistance, gut health, and emotional identity tied to the scale, Lizzie explains why your body may not feel safe enough to release weight.

You’ll learn how living in constant fight-or-flight blocks fat loss, why parasympathetic healing is essential, and how unresolved trauma, internal pressure, and metabolic dysfunction can keep the scale stuck, even when habits look “perfect” on paper.

Lizzie also dives into overlooked contributors like insulin resistance, lymphatic congestion, heavy metals, parasites, gut imbalances, and why functional testing can uncover what diet culture never addresses. This episode reframes weight loss as a healing process, not a punishment, and offers a grounded, compassionate path forward for women who are tired of blaming themselves.

In this episode, you’ll discover:

1. Why the scale not moving is often a stress and inflammation issue
2. How chronic fight-or-flight blocks fat loss
3. The role of cortisol in weight loss resistance
4. Why nervous system regulation matters more than restriction
5. How sleep quality impacts detox and metabolism
6. When the scale becomes an identity, not a tool
7. Why deep emotional healing can unlock physical change
8. How insulin resistance fuels inflammation and stalled weight loss
9. When strategic medical support can help reset the system
10. The connection between toxins, gut health, and metabolism
11. Why lymphatic health is critical for fat loss
12. How functional blood work and GI mapping reveal root causes
13. Why what worked in your 20s and 30s often fails in your 40s
14. How to stop fighting your body and start working with it

We talk about:

1. 00:00 Why the scale feels defeating when you’re doing everything right
2. 01:15 Stress, cortisol, and why the body won’t feel safe to lose weight
3. 02:40 Sympathetic vs parasympathetic and healing capacity
4. 04:10 Sleep, detox, and metabolic repair
5. 05:35 The emotional relationship with the scale
6. 07:10 Why identity and self-worth get tied to weight
7. 09:20 Healing first so weight loss actually lasts
8. 11:30 Insulin resistance and hidden inflammation
9. 13:45 When strategic medical support helps reset the system
10. 15:55 Toxins, parasites, heavy metals, and metabolic dysfunction
11. 18:10 Lymphatic congestion and why detox pathways matter
12. 20:05 Gut health, bloating, and GI Map testing
13. 22:00 Why your body changes in your late 30s and 40s
14. 23:20 The final truth, the scale is not your identity

If you’re struggling to get pregnant, have experienced miscarriages, or feel like fertility treatment keeps skipping over the real issues, this episode will change how you understand fertility.

In this conversation on The Lizzie Ens Show, Lizzie sits down with Dr. Marina, a board-certified OB-GYN with over 30 years of experience who transitioned into functional and root-cause medicine after witnessing the limitations of conventional fertility care.

Dr. Marina explains why fertility is often treated as a checklist of tests and procedures, while the most important factors, egg quality, sperm health, lifestyle, nutrition, toxin exposure, stress, and metabolic health, are overlooked.

You’ll learn why sperm quality plays a critical role in placental development and early pregnancy, why fertility challenges must be addressed as a shared responsibility between partners, and how endocrine-disrupting chemicals have contributed to dramatic declines in sperm count and morphology over the last two generations.

This episode also dives into PCOS, hormone testing gaps, AMH misconceptions, birth control masking symptoms, nutrigenomics, and why improving health before IVF dramatically increases success rates, and in many cases, leads to natural conception.

Whether you’re trying to conceive naturally, preparing for IVF, or want to protect your fertility for the future, this conversation offers clarity, empowerment, and practical direction.

1. Why fertility struggles aren’t just about ovulation timing or procedures
2. How egg quality and sperm quality affect conception and miscarriage risk
3. Why sperm health is essential for placental development
4. The alarming decline in sperm count and morphology
5. How endocrine-disrupting chemicals impact fertility in men and women
6. Why fertility should be approached as a couple, not a single patient
7. What conventional fertility testing often misses
8. Why AMH is not predictive of natural conception
9. How PCOS, insulin resistance, and inflammation affect fertility
10. Why birth control often masks underlying hormonal dysfunction

If you rarely sweat (even in a hot sauna), feel puffy despite “eating clean,” or deal with stubborn inflammation, fatigue, cellulite, brain fog, and hormone chaos, this episode connects the dots to one overlooked system: your lymphatic system.

In this solo episode of The Lizzie Ens Show, Lizzie explains why a sluggish lymphatic system can look like weight gain (but is often fluid retention), why your body can feel “stuck” even when you’re doing all the right things, and how lymph stagnation can contribute to estrogen recycling, cortisol-related puffiness, and detox symptoms that get worse when you try to cleanse.

You’ll walk away with a practical “drainage-first” plan, including movement, hydration, deep breathing, rebounding, vibration, dry brushing, and Lizzie’s top stack: dry brushing + glutathione + far infrared sauna.

Book a consultation and testing: https://undietyou.com/

1. The surprising sign of lymph stagnation: not sweating easily (even with heat or cardio)
2. Why puffiness in the face, arms, belly, and legs is often fluid, not fat
3. How lymph supports detox, immunity, and why Lizzie calls it your body’s “sewer system”
4. Why tight clothing, shallow breathing, dehydration, stress, and sitting all day can block drainage
5. The hormone link: how stagnant lymph may contribute to estrogen recycling and inflammation
6. Why “detox” can backfire if drainage is blocked (and what to do instead)
7. A lymph-support routine: walking, rebounding, vibration plate, stretching, cold exposure, minerals, and hydration
8. Lizzie’s top 3: dry brushing + glutathione + far infrared sauna (and what changed when her sweating finally “turned on”)
