Take what fits. Leave what doesn't. Come back for the rest. ALL of it makes a difference.

Seed oils are toxic. Intermittent fasting fixes everything. Eat 250 grams of protein or else. The internet loves an extreme claim, but the truth is it's almost always messier and more interesting than that. Today we're getting into three of the biggest wellness trends online right now, what the evidence actually says, and how to figure out what works for YOUR body.

In this episode:

• Seed oils: what the research actually shows vs. the TikTok narrative
• Intermittent fasting: why 12 hours is a great starting point, why aggressive fasting backfires for women in perimenopause, and how to listen to your body
• Protein: yes you need more, no you don't need to suffer for it
• Why 'it depends' is the most honest answer in health - and how to use that to your advantage

You're exhausted, gaining weight or can't seem to lose it no matter how much you exercise and you're seeing all this hormone stuff online telling you to get this test and drink this drink to "fix your hormones". But...is it REALLY your hormones? Or could it be something simpler?

Hormones are finally getting attention, but they've also become the new excuse for everything. Gt ready for some truth love as we talk about what's actually hormonal versus what's just poor habits you're not addressing.

If I had a dime for every time I've had a woman tell me she had bloodwork done, her provider told her they were "fine"...well let's just say I'd beat a pool with a cabana boy not in my basement with my cat right now.

WHY, then, do you still feel like shit? You KNOW something is wrong, you're exhausted, bloated all the time, aren't sleeping, and just don't feel like yourself.

Here's what they don't tell you. "Fine" or "Normal" labs simply mean they're not bad enough to get sick. It doesn't mean they're at optimal levels for YOU in the SEASON.

Here's my take.

Trigger Warning: If you struggle with an eating disorder and using a scale could throw you into a tailspin of shame, guilt, and unhealthy habits, please think before listening and go to Eating Disorders Support Groups | NEDA if you're ready for help <3

Protein is one of the most important nutrients for metabolism, muscle mass, energy, and appetite, yet many midlife women are eating far less than they realize.

In this episode, we break down why protein needs increase as we age, what a realistic daily intake actually looks like, and how to spot the difference between real protein foods and clever marketing.

You’ll also learn a simple trick to quickly tell if a “high-protein” food is actually protein-dense… or basically a candy bar with good branding.
