In this episode of Renewed and Radiant, functional nutritionist and women’s hormone specialist Elsa Martin unpacks the powerful connection between self-love and physical health — especially for women over 40.

Many women believe confidence will come after weight loss, but research and real-life results show the opposite: energy, mood, and self-trust can improve long before visible changes happen. Elsa explains why loving your body isn’t about indulgence — it’s about understanding your biology and giving your body what it actually needs.

You’ll learn how muscle loss, under-eating protein, and chronic calorie restriction can slow metabolism and contribute to stubborn belly fat — and why working out more while eating less may be working against you. Through science-backed insight and a real client success story, Elsa shows how sustainable nutrition and strength-focused habits can rebuild confidence from the inside out.

This episode is an invitation to shift from fighting your body to supporting it — because consistency and strategy always beat extremes.

In this powerful episode of Renewed and Radiant, host Elsa Martin sits down with Kelsey Johnson for an honest, deeply reflective conversation about emotional health, self-awareness, and healing generational patterns.

Kelsey shares how motherhood became a mirror—bringing unresolved emotions, shame, and unmet needs to the surface, and how that internal struggle began to affect her marriage and relationships. Together, Elsa and Kelsey explore what lies beneath our behaviours, why emotions themselves aren’t the enemy, and how learning to listen—both to ourselves and others—can transform the way we connect.

Kelsey vulnerably reminds us that it’s never too late to grow, to heal, or to choose a different path—even when growth feels slow and uncomfortable. Healing may be painful, but it’s productive—and it creates ripple effects far beyond us.

Comparison is everywhere—and it’s quietly sabotaging your confidence, discipline, and peace. In this episode of Renewed and Radiant, Elsa Martin unpacks how comparison, especially through social media, disconnects you from your own progress and erodes self-trust. What’s often sold as “motivation” actually creates urgency where patience is required, increases self-criticism, and keeps women—particularly in midlife—stuck questioning their worth instead of refining their process.

Elsa shares personal insights on why stepping away from social media can restore clarity, internal validation, and confidence, and why sustainable wellness results are often boring long before they’re visible.

This episode is a reminder to stop running someone else’s race and come back to your own.

Mid-January has a name—and it’s called Quitters Week. It’s the point when motivation fades, routines unravel, and many women quietly give up on their New Year’s goals. But what if quitting isn’t a character flaw… and it’s actually a strategy problem?

In this episode of Renewed & Radiant, Elsa Martin breaks down why most resolutions fail—and why it has nothing to do with willpower or discipline. Drawing from her own journey with weight loss and functional nutrition, Elsa shares the real reasons people quit and the three foundational shifts that lead to lasting, sustainable change.

You’ll learn why motivation alone isn’t enough, how shifting from outcome-based goals to personal standards changes everything, and why accountability and planning for setbacks are non-negotiable for long-term success. This episode is a powerful reminder that one bad day doesn’t erase progress—and you don’t need a new year to start again.

✨ If you’re tired of starting over every January and ready for real support, structure, and strategy, this episode is for you.

Healing isn’t about fixing yourself—it’s about understanding, grace, and taking the next right step.

In this episode of Renewed & Radiant, we sit down with Melanie Love, who shares her powerful journey from traditional counseling to creating a healing approach rooted in both faith and science.

Through personal trauma, professional experience, and deep reflection, Melanie reveals why healing requires realistic goals, patience, and compassion for yourself along the way.

We talk about the discomfort that often comes before transformation, the importance of understanding the why behind your emotions, and how small, consistent wins can create lasting change.

Using a relatable road trip metaphor, Melanie invites listeners to see healing not as a destination—but as a meaningful journey where you get to decide what you bring with you… and what you leave behind.

If you’re navigating trauma, personal growth, or feeling stuck in your healing process, this episode will remind you that progress doesn’t have to be perfect to be powerful.
