We’re jumping into the very important topic of how your significant other influences your health journey. This is a really personal topic, but it’s important to talk about. Charlie (Pearl’s hubby), for instance, is actually allergic to “organic” and “fresh” things. He doesn’t have the best instance. And he’s happy with the curves. Sam (Serene’s hubby), on the other hand has a little bit more warmth toward healthy food. He goes with the flow.

How much do we let our husband influence our Healthy journey? Because the way we answer this question can really influence how well you do in your healthy choices … everything from food to working out, and many other things!

Welcome to the spot where Pearl and Serene share their knowledge and their hearts (along with Danny’s antics) on topics ranging from physical and mental health to spiritual truth, and, yes… even a little comic relief. Put your seat belts on though…it can get a little bumpy!

Get ready for imperfectly polite conversations about health and wellness… the place where cutting edge science meets ancient wisdom.

The Meat: 

The very core of Trim Healthy Mama is contending for HEALTH. 

When we didn’t have money, we contended for health. When we didn’t have all the answers, we contended for the truth. THM isn’t just here so you can eat low-carb cake! We’re not here to just get down to a healthy weight on the scale. We want to encourage you to push higher, That’s how we started with our first book… now with new things to share… that’s how we are continuing. Our original book pushed the envelope. And that’s who we are. 

This doesn’t mean you have to implement everything all at once. Little by little is the way but remaining open to new knowledge is so important for growth. Some people have said we’ve changed, but the truth is that we have ALWAYS wanted to do the best of both worlds… the ancient wisdom of crunchy, healthy living, AND the best of sound, cutting-edge science. We want to always keep growing!

The Banter: If you want love on your vacation, you can’t throw away your husband’s toothpaste.

A lot of people are asking us, “What is insulin resistance?” and “Do I have it?” We’re going to give you a different take on what it is! In fact, we’re going to broaden the definition. 

What age does muscle decline start? Every year after 30, but it starts to escalate in the mid-30s. But even a young person that’s sitting in the house with a device all day can be in decline... we experienced it early because we were vegan, and our muscles began to decline. 

But what does muscle and insulin resistance have to do with each other? The muscle as an organ is made to uptake insulin to accept protein, and blood sugar. But if you don’t have the ability to absorb insulin (deflating muscles, less lean muscle tissue) then you are experiencing some degree of insulin resistance. 

If you’re just thinking about weight loss, you can fall into insulin resistance (because you are losing muscle mass). Proper amounts of protein are absolutely essential to prevent this decline. So you have to reverse this muscle decline through consumption of protein, cleaning your muscle cells with a high plant intake, utilizing healthy carbs and strength training–you have to become a BURNER.

Now that it’s officially the New Year (Happy 2025!), we’re talking about masking insulin resistance. We start the conversation about how, while we love our spouses at any point in life, it does matter how we take care of ourselves. And then we’re talking about the connection between lifting weights and retention of lean body mass…and the journey from insecurity with weight lifting to confidence and gains!

And for the meat… INSULIN RESISTANCE. If you’re over 40, you probably have it. There are a lot of promises to reverse it out there. With a lot of the insulin resistance “reversal” options out there, you start, and then you think you see positive things. But they don’t last. 

What is the true solution to reversing insulin resistance??! This 3-Pronged Approach is the Wisdom approach we detail in Trim Healthy Wisdom. But here’s the gist:

1) Clean:

2) Fuel:

3) Build:

Lift heavy!

This is part 2 in our Trim Healthy Wisdom series!

Today we’re talking HORMONES. But we’re making it personal. We have a guest, our friend Rachel, on the podcast, talking about her journey into Bioidentical Hormone Replacement Therapy (BHRT).

We’ve known Rachel for years. On today’s show we catch up and talk about how much hormones affect women’s lives. Rachel shares her original journey of shedding inflammatory fat and infertility with THM and then what happened when she entered late perimenopause. Many things changed in her mind and body and Rachel shares her personal story of personal breakthrough and health using hormones.
