Ever wonder why you're still struggling with fatigue, weight gain, or hormone imbalances despite doing "all the right things"? The answer might be hiding in plain sight – your liver. 

Your liver is quite literally your body's chemical processing plant, performing over 500 vital functions that affect everything from hormones and blood sugar to energy levels and mood. When this powerhouse organ becomes sluggish, a cascade of seemingly unrelated symptoms can emerge, leaving you feeling stuck in your health journey.

Through this deep dive into liver health, Lindsey and Laken explore how this critical organ works through its two-phase detoxification system and why it's so vulnerable to dysfunction in our modern world. From the processed foods we eat to the environmental toxins we encounter, from chronic stress to gut issues – our livers are constantly bombarded with challenges.

What's particularly fascinating is how liver dysfunction can masquerade as other conditions. Those persistent symptoms you've been attributing to perimenopause, hypothyroidism, or just "getting older" might actually stem from your liver struggling to keep up. The good news? Supporting liver health doesn't require extreme measures or expensive protocols. Simple, foundational practices like proper nutrition, stress management, and reducing toxic exposure can dramatically improve liver function.

Whether you're dealing with unexplained fatigue, hormonal chaos, stubborn weight, or just feeling "off," this episode provides practical insights to help you understand and support your body's most hardworking filter system. Learn how to recognize the signs of liver distress, what tests can provide insights, and straightforward strategies to restore optimal function without falling for marketing hype.

Ready to finally unlock that missing piece in your health puzzle? Your liver might be calling for attention – and this conversation is your roadmap to answering that call.

On today's episode, Coach Laken and Coach Lindsey explore the deep wounds that exist between women and offer strategies for healing these fractures to create stronger sisterhood bonds. They unpack universal female experiences from competition to judgment, providing practical tools to shift these patterns into opportunities for connection and growth.
Learn how to navigate:
• Competition and comparison stem from a scarcity mindset: "There's not enough for all of us."
• Reframe jealousy as inspiration by writing a "jealousy gratitude list" and reaching out to women you admire
• Betrayal creates the story that "women can't be trusted," leading to guarded relationships
• Start rebuilding trust by sharing vulnerably with safe women and practicing forgiveness primarily for your own healing
• "Not fitting in" wounds often begin in childhood and lead to self-isolation or masking
• People pleasing comes from fear of being seen as difficult, leading to resentment
• Use "I feel" statements when expressing boundaries and practice role-playing difficult conversations
• Judgment of other women typically reflects something we're rejecting in ourselves
• Try an integration exercise: write a letter to your past wounded self and look for evidence that challenges your negative stories

Healing these wounds starts with self-awareness. If this episode stirred something in you, remember you're not alone – these experiences are incredibly common and working with a coach can help you navigate the path to healing.

Ever wonder why your health and weight loss efforts seem stuck in an endless cycle of high hopes and disappointing results? In today's coaches roundtable episode, Lindsey, Laken and the squad pull back the curtain on the real reasons behind your stalled progress – and it's probably not what you think.

The conversation gets refreshingly honest - spicey even... as we explore how "all-or-nothing" thinking sabotages even your best intentions and why your brain might actively be working against your health goals.

Today, you'll learn: 

The uncomfortable truth about unrealistic expectations in today's quick-fix culture 

The silly marketing that's conditioned us to expect dramatic transformations overnight while ignoring the fundamentally flawed approach underneath. 

As one coach boldly states, "The number one reason you're not losing weight is your freaking mindset."

Practical strategies for breaking free from these destructive patterns. 

Why connecting to deeper values creates lasting motivation, how to recognize progress beyond the scale, and why "all or something" should replace perfectionism in your health vocabulary.

Ready to experience the "upward spiral" instead of the downward one? Listen in and discover what might be the missing piece in your health journey.

Our gut health plays a central role in how we think, feel, and function on a daily basis, impacting everything from our immune system to our hormone balance and mental wellbeing. Laken and Lindsey give us the goods on everything from good poops and healthy digestion to signs and symptoms there could be something going on that some quick nutritional changes could help remedy. 

Some fun facts from today's show include:

• The gut houses over a trillion microorganisms that form our gut microbiome
• Gut dysbiosis occurs when the ratio of good to bad bacteria gets out of balance
• 90-95% of serotonin is produced in the gut, not the brain, connecting to the brain through the vagus nerve
• Leaky gut happens when intestinal permeability increases, allowing toxins to leak into the bloodstream
• Common symptoms of poor gut health include bloating, irregular bowel movements, fatigue, brain fog, and hormone imbalances
• 20% of T4 to T3 thyroid hormone conversion happens in the gut via bacterial enzymes
• Poor gut health can lead to systemic inflammation, affecting the HPA axis that controls all hormones
• Weight loss resistance may be linked to specific gut bacteria that extract more calories from food
• Foundation of gut healing: whole unprocessed foods, stress management, and regular movement
• Targeted testing and personalized protocols may be necessary but should come after basic lifestyle changes are consistently implemented

Consistency is key in all parts of our lives, ladies. Today, we're celebrating our 100th episode by delving deep into the topics that have resonated most with you, our audience throughout our journey. 

From the surprising popularity of ferritin education to the nuanced approach of GLP-1 micro-dosing and the reality of weight management after 35, we're unpacking the insights that have truly improved women's health outcomes.

Ferritin—your body's iron savings account—might be the hidden hormone disruptor you've never heard about. While your doctor checks iron levels, optimal ferritin (70-100) is essential for energy, thyroid function, and hair growth. Most women are walking around with levels under 30, suffering needlessly with symptoms their standard bloodwork never reveals. Understanding how to properly supplement iron—with vitamin C, on an empty stomach, and alongside other nutrients—can transform your energy and metabolism.

Listen to 58 | Ferritin: The Overlooked Health Marker and Its Role in Women's Well-Being

The conversation around GLP-1 medications has exploded, but we take a different approach. Rather than promoting standard doses for rapid weight loss, we explore microdosing for longevity, metabolic healing, and anti-inflammatory benefits without the harsh side effects. This strategic, lower-dose approach prevents muscle loss while still providing metabolic support—though pharmaceutical interests threaten to eliminate this option through FDA restrictions on compounding pharmacies.
Listen to E73 | GLP-1 Microdosing: Managing Diabetes, Obesity, and Beyond 

For women over 35, weight management requires understanding how your body has fundamentally changed. Declining hormones, increased stress reactivity, and reduced insulin sensitivity create a new metabolic landscape that requires different strategies. Through time-restricted eating, prioritizing muscle, stress management, and mitochondrial support, we show you how to work with your changing body rather than fighting against it.

Listen to E91 | Unlocking Weight Loss After 35: Insulin Resistance, Hormone Synergy, and the Power of Lifestyle Changes

Your body isn't broken—it's adapting to everything you give it. When you understand these deeper health mechanisms, you can provide the right inputs for the outcomes you want.  Let's keep the consistency through to the next 100! 

Thank you!

Strength training is essential for every woman over 30. Women gradually lose 3-8% of muscle mass per decade, which is the primary reason many gain weight despite unchanged eating habits.
Today, Lindsey and Laken are joining by the whole gang, as they weigh in on what medical professionals now refer to as "the organ of longevity"; muscle. It's called this for its profound impact on metabolic health, insulin sensitivity, bone density, and overall quality of life.
Did you know?
• Muscle loss begins in our 30s, decreasing metabolic rate and causing unexplained weight gain
• Each pound of muscle burns 6-10 extra calories daily even at rest
• Strength training dramatically improves insulin sensitivity by pulling glucose from the bloodstream
• Women who strength train report significant improvements in confidence and mental health
• The "toned" aesthetic most women desire comes from muscle, not endless cardio
• Begin with bodyweight exercises to master form before adding external resistance
• Focus on compound movements (squats, lunges, pushes, pulls) 3-4 times weekly
• Progressive overload is essential—workouts should feel challenging with the last few reps difficult
• Consume 0.8-1 gram of protein per pound of bodyweight daily for optimal results
• Recovery and sleep are when muscles actually rebuild and grow stronger
