If you're a nurse or healthcare professional struggling with weight gain, low energy, hormone imbalance, or burnout, this episode will change how you think about weight loss.

Jan sits down with Dr. Cody Golman, hormone reset expert and creator of the Fast 40 Program (lose 14 to 30+ pounds in 40 Days), to unpack why most traditional diets, fasting protocols, and calorie-deficit plans fail women, especially nurses under chronic stress. Dr. Golman explains how many popular weight loss programs are actually disrupting hormones, keeping women stuck in sugar-burning mode, inflamed, exhausted, and frustrated.

In this conversation, Dr. Golman breaks down the difference between being a sugar burner vs. a fat burner, how stress and burnout impact metabolism, and why weight loss is not about willpower or eating less, but about resetting hormones and metabolism. He also shares why fasting and male-driven diet models often backfire for women over 35, leading to poor sleep, cravings, brain fog, and stubborn weight.

Together, Jan and Dr. Golman explore what it really takes to support hormone health, regain energy, and create sustainable fat loss without starving yourself or burning out even more. If you've tried "everything" and feel like your body is working against you, this episode offers a completely different lens and a hopeful path forward.

In this heartfelt conversation, Jan sits down with Christina, a veteran labor & delivery nurse, to talk about the realities no one warns you about in nursing, especially in L&D. Christina pulls back the curtain on the emotional weight of caring for moms and babies, navigating high-stakes decisions, workplace bullying, and the moments that nearly made her walk away from the profession altogether.

Together, they explore what it really takes to stay: anchoring back to your "why," protecting your mental health, setting boundaries so the job doesn't consume your life, and finding ways to unload the stories nurses carry long after a shift ends. Christina also shares wisdom from her personal life, including rediscovering herself as an empty nester, prioritizing self-care, and choosing family and joy alongside a demanding career.

This episode is an honest, grounding reminder for nurses who feel stretched thin that you don't have to quit to breathe, and you don't have to carry it all alone.
