Did you know our metabolic and hormonal systems are deeply connected?  So many women who experience hormone imbalances, mood swings, or fertility struggles  think it's just something they have to deal with as "part of being a woman". In this groundbreaking conversation, I sit down with Dr. Piraye Yurttas Beim, PhD scientist and women’s health innovator, to unpack the science behind ovarian health, menopause myths, and the things we can do to take control over our bodies. We dive into the shocking truth about how ovaries are not just about fertility—but act as a command center for nearly every system in the body. Dr. Piraye explains why modern women are outliving their ovaries and what that means for our health, energy, and aging. From sleep to stress to blood sugar, she shares how to understand your body’s hormone signals and take back control.

She also breaks down how PCOS and perimenopause share metabolic roots, why glucose management is a hormone health superpower, and how hot flashes might be your brain’s way of signaling distress. You’ll hear how she personally used a continuous glucose monitor to stop her hot flashes—and the surprising ways GLP-1s (like Ozempic) are restoring ovulation in women who were told they’d never conceive naturally.

If you’ve been told “this is just what happens as you age,” or have ever felt dismissed by doctors while navigating period pain, fertility challenges, or menopause symptoms, this episode will empower you with science, tools, and hope.

You’ll also hear:

Whether you’re navigating PCOS, planning to freeze your eggs, or just want to feel better in your 30s and 40s, this episode is a must-listen. It’s time we stop normalizing hormone suffering—and start listening to the signals our bodies are sending.

Why do so many women feel guilty when they rest? I sit down with Elise Loehnen—New York Times bestselling author—to unpack the deep cultural and personal reasons women over-function, over-deliver, and burn themselves out. If you've ever felt like you have to earn rest or prove your worth through constant doing, this conversation is for you.

We dive into the emotional and societal roots of rest guilt—why it feels “wrong” to slow down, even when you're exhausted. Elise shares how breaking her neck forced her to confront her own beliefs about being a “good woman” and why she realized that no one was actually demanding perfection from her… except herself.

We also explore the difference between stories and facts, and how many of us live in exhausting stories about motherhood, ambition, money, and self-worth without even realizing it. Elise teaches us how to identify those narratives, trace where they came from, and consciously choose new ones that serve you.

If you’ve struggled with performative motherhood, scarcity around money, resentment in your relationships, or comparing yourself to women online, Elise offers a compassionate, story-rich guide to healing. Her tools for turning envy into insight, fear into clarity, and busyness into boundaries are some of the most practical and powerful I’ve heard.

You’ll also hear:

Whether you’re navigating motherhood, building a career, or simply trying to feel like you’re “enough,” this episode is a warm and honest invitation to put down the pressure and pick up rest—not as a reward, but as your right.

Do you open 10 tabs and forget what you were doing? You’re not alone. Our brains have been conditioned to crave distraction—thanks to tech, stress, and overstimulation. Focus isn’t just about productivity—it’s about presence, creativity, and living a life that feels like yours.

In this episode, I explain how chronic stress and dopamine addiction are training your brain to self-interrupt, making it harder than ever to stay on task. Drawing on insights from researchers like Dr. Gloria Mark, I break down how habits like doomscrolling and multitasking are literally rewiring our prefrontal cortexes.

But it’s not all doom and distraction.

I share powerful, research-based strategies to rebuild your focus muscle—from daily breathing hacks and body doubling to my personal “rule of three” method and compassionate productivity practices. You’ll also hear how I use unstructured rest, deliberate boredom, and digital boundaries to reconnect with what matters most.

If you’ve ever felt like your brain is broken, this episode will help you reconnect with the calm, focused version of you that still exists—just beneath the noise.

For decades, nicotine has been synonymous with smoking and disease but recently people are claiming nicotine patches have been improving their health—so what’s the truth? In this fascinating conversation, Vanderbilt neuroscientist and psychiatrist Dr. Paul Newhouse dives into the science to reveal the surprising ways nicotine impacts the brain, from Alzheimer’s and ADHD to depression and long COVID.

In this episode, we unpack:

✨ This episode completely changed how I think about nicotine and its potential role in modern medicine. It’s a powerful reminder to question assumptions and dig into the science behind our health beliefs.

✨ Homework: Write down one “health fact” you’ve always accepted as true—then do a little research to see if the science actually supports it.

Everywhere you look online, people are calling creatine the magic supplement—promising clearer thinking, better workouts, PMS relief, and even protection against Alzheimer’s. But what does the science really say?

In this episode, we unpack:

✨ This episode is your clear, evidence-based guide to creatine—so you can decide if it deserves a spot in your daily routine.

✨ Homework: Reflect on your “why” for taking supplements. Is creatine aligned with your goals (energy, brain health, resilience)? If yes, explore a high-quality creatine monohydrate and track your results.

Is creativity really just painting, writing, or dancing—or is it something far more essential to our wellbeing?

In this fascinating conversation, Katina Bajaj, creative health scientist and co-founder of Daydreamers, shares why creativity is a core pillar of health—just as important as diet, sleep, and exercise.

The 8 pillars of creativity validated by research

How “mini-c creativity” can reduce stress & support long-term brain health

Why flow state matters (and how it differs from scrolling)

How to close stress cycles through creative expression

Tools to overcome perfectionism, autopilot, and conformity

Practical ways to infuse creativity into any job, hobby, or relationship

✨ This episode redefines creativity as an everyday wellness practice—not a luxury. It will leave you inspired to reclaim your creative brain for better mental health, resilience, and joy.
