August 20, 2025 Ep 121 | Birth Control, Hormones & Inflammation: What Every Woman in Fitness Should Know w/ Sam Miller
Birth control is one of the most commonly used medications among women, but how much do we really understand about its effects on our health, performance, and fitness goals? In this episode, I sit down with Sam Miller—coach, mentor, bestselling author, and metabolism expert—to unpack the latest research on hormonal contraceptives, including a study showing female athletes on birth control. We break down what this means for women navigating autoimmune conditions, gut health, or chronic inflammation. Whether you’re currently using birth control, considering it, or just curious, this conversation will give you the tools to weigh the risks, rewards, and alternatives with confidence.

August 13, 2025 Ep 120 | Intermittent Fasting: A Fat Loss Hack Or A Metabolism Trap?
Over my nutrition career I’ve done a complete 180 on fasting—actually, more like four 180s. From 16:8 and MCT coffee to “fasting is terrible for women” to “fasting is the magic bullet” and now?… well, you'll have to listen to find out! In this episode, I break down where my views stand today, how fasting compares to simply eating in a calorie deficit, and the role of autophagy in health. We’ll cover when fasting might be helpful, when it could backfire (especially for women), and why more isn’t always better. Whether you’re a die-hard intermittent faster or fasting-curious, this episode will give you a clear, science-informed, and practical perspective on how to make fasting work—or not work—for you.

June 18, 2025 Ep 112 | Nervous System Regulation: Rebuild Trust With Your Body For Better Results w/ Sheridan Ruth
In this powerful episode, I’m joined by somatic trauma therapist, burnout coach, and bestselling author Sheridan Ruth to explore how somatic intelligence and nervous system regulation can transform your wellness journey—physically, mentally, and emotionally. Sheridan shares her deeply personal story of navigating alopecia, grief, and healing from the inside out, offering a raw look at what true resilience really means. We talk about how burnout often stems from nervous system dysregulation—not lack of effort—and how to break the cycle of “doing all the right things” without seeing results. Sheridan also shares practical ways to rebuild trust with your body and why healing isn’t a linear checklist, but a spiral. If you’ve ever felt stuck in your progress or exhausted from constantly pushing, this episode is for you.
