In this episode, we are breaking down what it really takes to look and feel fit, without constant stress, scale obsession, or being in the gym for hours on end. If you’ve been doing all the right things but still feel stuck, bloated, or frustrated with your results, this conversation is your permission slip to zoom out and look deeper.

They dive into:

✔️ Why gut + hormone health are the foundations for fat loss and muscle gain

✔️ What “body recomp” actually means (and why it's not a quick fix)

✔️ How to fuel your body instead of chronically under-eating

✔️ The basics that matter most: nutrients, meal hygiene, absorption, movement, minerals, and sleep

✔️ How to mentally shift away from obsessing over the scale

✔️ What to track instead and how to feel confident in your skin long-term

Whether you’re just getting started or deep into your journey, this episode will help you ditch the “more is better” mindset and find what actually works for your body—based on your symptoms, not just your willpower.

We’re talking sh*t today—literally.

In this episode, Haylee and Jess break down what your poop can actually tell you about your gut health (and why it’s one of the most powerful tools you have to spot imbalances). Whether you're dealing with constipation, loose stools, or a confusing mix of both—this episode will help you make sense of it all without the fluff (and with a little humor, of course).

You’ll learn:

1. Why you can still be constipated even if you go every day

2. What it means if your stool is floating, sticky, smelly, or full of undigested food

3. The top causes of constipation, diarrhea, and incomplete poops (hint: it’s not just fiber)

4. How stress, low bile flow, histamine issues, and gut infections show up in your bathroom habits

5. What color, odor, and texture changes really mean—and when to dig deeper

6. Client stories that prove your gut issues are valid, fixable, and totally not TMI

This one’s equal parts graphic, educational, and weirdly empowering.

So grab your coffee, take the Root Cause Quiz, and don’t forget to look before you flush.

Ever feel like your brain is both wired and exhausted at the same time? You're not alone. In this episode, Haylee and Jess get real about what it’s like to live with “anxious squirrel brain” — whether it’s linked to ADHD tendencies, anxiety, executive dysfunction, or just a season of overwhelm.

They open up about coming off anxiety medication, navigating dopamine dips, and how they’ve learned (and are still learning) to work with their brains instead of against them.

Inside, you’ll learn:

1. How neurotransmitters like dopamine, serotonin, and GABA impact your focus, mood, and gut

2. Why your gut health and blood sugar swings might be messing with your mental clarity

3. The morning routines that actually work (no 5am cold plunges required)

4. Nutrition, sleep, and supplement strategies that help calm the chaos

5. What’s helped Haylee and Jess (and their clients) feel more grounded, functional, and in control

This episode isn’t about being perfect. It’s about building awareness, ditching the “shoulds,” and finding tools that support your unique brain.

n this episode, I sat down with my friend and fellow coach, Jess Stancil, to break down all things peptides—what they are, how they work, when to use them, and when not to.

We covered:

1. What peptides actually are (and why not everything labeled a peptide really is one)

2. Common options for gut health, inflammation, autoimmune symptoms, cognition, and fat loss—like BPC-157, KPV, TB500, GHK-Cu, and more

3. Why peptides aren’t a magic fix and should be used as short-term tools—not long-term crutches

4. Our thoughts on popular GLP-1s like Ozempic and Tirzepatide, plus the potential pros/cons and why dosing, context, and lifestyle matter so much

5. Peptides for sleep, brain fog, ADHD, and burnout (like Selank and Semax)

6. Where people go wrong with peptide use, especially in the bodybuilding world or when chasing quick fixes

7. And how to think about long-term health first—even if performance or fat loss is your goal

This one was a deep dive, but so helpful if you’ve been curious about peptides and whether they have a place in your health or fitness journey.

This episode is for the woman who’s been tracking her food, eating clean, training consistently, doing everything right—but still doesn’t feel (or look) the way she wants to.

Jess and I are unpacking what’s actually going on when your body stops responding—and why the answer isn’t another diet, more cardio, or cutting more carbs.

If you tune into this episode, you'll learn:

✔️What to do next if you're not seeing progress with your current approach or feeling lost with what to do to change your body

✔️The signs of internal chaos that no one talks about (like being wired at night, no appetite in the morning, or gaining weight without changing anything)

✔️ What blood work can reveal about your metabolism, thyroid, cortisol, and hormone health + how it applies to fat loss

✔️How to build strength, nourish your body, and finally feel like your hard work is paying off

We share patterns we see with our clients all the time, plus what’s often missing from the conversation when it comes to fat loss, metabolism, and feeling good in your body again.

There’s a reason the things that used to work... don’t anymore. And it’s not because you’re not trying hard enough!

We’re breaking down mold toxicity in a way that actually makes sense:

✔️ What mold toxicity really is

✔️ The most common (and overlooked) symptoms

Symptoms we cover that might be mold-related:

• Brain fog, anxiety, mood swings

• Skin issues like rashes, eczema, or hives

• Histamine reactions or allergies that came out of nowhere

• Weight loss resistance, inflammation, joint pain

If your cycle feels like it flips your personality, productivity, and energy upside down every month — you’re not alone.

In this episode, I’m joined by my good friend and fellow women’s health coach, Sam Jones, to talk all things menstrual cycle and how to actually work with it instead of feeling like it’s working against you.

We cover:

1. What’s really normal (and what’s not) to feel during each phase

2. How each phase of your cycle impacts energy, mood, and motivation

3. What we adjust (or don’t) in our workouts, schedules, and businesses to accommodate our cycles

4. The difference between rest and avoidance (and how to tell which one you need)

5. The productivity shifts we’ve made to avoid the burnout-recovery loop

6. & Our favorite ways to fill our cup (without a 2-hour morning routine)

'Honoring your cycle' isn’t about doing less — it’s about doing things differently so your energy, confidence, and consistency don’t keep crashing every single month.

Whether you’re running a business, a household, trying to stay fit & healthy or just trying to not spiral in your luteal phase — this one’s for you.

This solo episode is part birthday reflection, part health update, and part "holy shit we're a real adult moments.

I’m taking you behind the scenes of everything that’s been going on—my mold retest results, how this fat loss phase has actually felt easy (?!), my thoughts on identity shifts in your late 20s, and the reminder that healing and growing into yourself takes way longer than we think.

We’re talking:

• What’s improved since starting my mold detox (and what still sucks)

• How I lost 5-6 lbs without stressing, skipping social plans, or tracking every bite

• Why nervous system regulation has been the real MVP of healing and business

• The weird things that made me realize I was coming back to myself again

• Why it’s okay to change your mind about your body, business, or life goals (at any age)

& of course some random rambles along the way!

If you’ve ever felt stuck in a body or life that doesn’t quite feel like yours anymore, I hope this episode reminds you that you’re allowed to change, evolve, and start again (even if it’s messy).

Thank you for being here 💕

In today’s deep dive, Jess and I are breaking down exactly why traditional GI testing (like colonoscopies) often misses the root cause of chronic gut symptoms (like bloating, fatigue, constipation, diarrhea, or even brain fog and skin issues)... and what test we recommend instead.

You’ll learn:

• What a colonoscopy actually shows (and what it doesn’t)

• Why we use the GI MAP with our clients (and what it reveals about infections, parasites, candida, inflammation, immune response & more)

• How the wrong type of testing can keep you stuck—and how functional tools can finally give you answers

• When colonoscopies are necessary and how to support your gut if you’ve had one

This is a must-listen for anyone who’s looking to improve their gut health, feels they have been left guessing at what’s really going on in their gut, or isn't sure what step to take next when it comes to testing!
