Make Bank with Marie Wold

In case you haven’t noticed, this show has had EXCLUSIVELY female guests for the 8 months of its existence, but this week, we are taking girl talk to another level because we are talking ALL things hormonal health, periods, and birth control. Think of this episode as a super empowering, mind-blowing upgrade in place of what high school health class SHOULD have taught you. I sat down with the incredible, Dr. Jolene Brighten, who is a Functional Medicine Naturopathic Medical Doctor and the founder of Rubus Health, a women’s medicine clinic that specializes in women's hormones. She is recognized as a leading expert in Post-Birth Control Syndrome and the long-term side effects associated with hormonal contraceptives. Dr. Brighten is the best selling author, speaker and regular contributor to several online publications and health apps.

I’m SO grateful for the work Dr. Brighten is doing in women’s health and she has SO much knowledge to share in this episode. We talked all about:

- Women's experience with traditional, western medicine

- How we can feel more empowered and in control of our health

- The basics of the menstrual cycle and why it’s NOT that complicated

- The nitty gritty of hormonal birth control and the need-to-knows for before, during, and after using hormonal contraceptives.

If you’re a woman… you NEED to know this stuff, and I’m so happy that you’re here. If you’re not a woman, then this episode will give you a whole new respect for the female body… so buckle up (:

With it being mid January right now, New Year’s resolutions are either going strong, or starting to fizzle out no matter how GOOD our intentions were. The other day, I was reading an artcile about New Year’s resolutions and they had polled over a 1000 people… among that sample, almost HALF of them had diet resolutions, with the top approaches being low carb, basic calorie restriction (which could include just eating healthier), keto, and low-fat. As a wellness coach, I DEFINITELY have my own opinions about all of those approaches, cough cough especially keto, but I wanted to bring on someone even more specialized to chat about diets,  nutrition, and how they fit into a healthy lifestyle this week, so I brought on a registered dietitian, and WNBF bikini pro, Kara Corey! Kara really specializes in providing science-based, accurate nutrition information for the fitness community, and she does so through her YouTube channel, Kara Corey Fit Life, where she has a dietitian talk series, documents her competition preps, and shares tons of healthy recipes and lifestyle tips. She has over 100k subscribers, and for good reason, because Kara truly knows her stuff! So in this interview, Kara and I covered a TON of topics, but the standouts to me were: breaking down where to start if you’re overwhelmed with nutrition, how to make healthy eating a truly enjoyable lifestyle, and how we can pursue physical health AND mental health at the same time.

If you’re someone who has struggled to stick with a healthy lifestyle before, then guess what? You're in great company!! Maybe you’ve tried a million different diets and none of them last… or maybe you keep trying to get a workout routine going and it’s just NOT happening. Maybe you’re stuck in this cycle of feeling guilty about what you ate or the workouts you didn’t end up doing… so commit to yet another strict plan and SWEAR that this time is it… until it’s not.  If so, then this episode is for you, and you’re SO not alone, girl. This week’s guest, Lynette Hoyle, is a fitness coach who specializes in helping her clients create a sustainable lifestyle that gets them results, but ALSO lets them eat nachos.

You’re listening to episode number 28 of The Grind & Be Grateful Podcast. Minimalism… manifestation… abundance mindset… if you’ve been hanging out in my corner of the internet for a while, I know that you’ve HEARD those words before, but I also know that they can be super confusing if you haven’t had a chance to really learn about what they mean and how to actually PRACTICE them in real life. So today, I brought on an EXPERT across all three of those things, and she’s going to explain them all and teach us how to apply them in our own lives-- sound good?! This week, we’re hanging out with Alyse Brautigam, who is the founder of Raw Alignment – a platform focused on empowerment and self-love
