  • Why Elimination Diets Are Keeping You Stuck (And the 5 Secrets That Actually Fix Your Gut and Energy)

    If you've spent years cutting out gluten, dairy, and everything in between - and you still don't feel better - this episode is for you. Kylie shares five gut and hormone secrets she wishes she'd known at the start of her own health journey, and the ones she now uses with every client inside her programs.

    The truth is, healing your gut doesn't have to mean restriction, a cabinet full of supplements, or white-knuckling your way through every meal. It's simpler than that - and a lot more enjoyable.

    In this episode, Kylie covers the five secrets that actually move the needle for gut health and energy, including why the foods you're eliminating are probably not the problem, how two clients healed their bloating and hormone issues - one with Hashimoto's - without cutting out gluten or dairy, why more supplements is almost always making things worse, and how to stop relying on willpower and actually set yourself up for long-term success.

    That's the question at the heart of this conversation with Alayna Bellquist, marine scientist, speaker, and author of Resilient by Nature: A Memoir of Curing Chronic Lyme Disease. After nearly two decades studying how ecosystems recover from stress and collapse, Alayna found herself applying those exact same principles to her own body after a devastating battle with chronic Lyme disease.

    This is not a scary Lyme episode. This is a story of full recovery, radical self-honesty, and what happens when you stop fighting your body and start treating it like the resilient, intelligent system it actually is.

  • Your Energy Blueprint: How Human Design Can Transform Your Health, Hormones and Healing with Emma Dunwoody

    If you've ever felt like you're doing all the right things but still feel exhausted, out of alignment, or like something just doesn't fit - this episode might be the missing piece. Kylie sits down with Emma Dunwoody, Behavioral Specialist and author of Human Design Made Simple (Penguin Life), to explore how understanding your unique energetic blueprint can completely shift the way you approach your health, your habits, and your life.

    This isn't about astrology or personality tests. Human Design is a system that blends modern science and ancient wisdom to map how your energy actually operates - how you process stress, make decisions, manage your nervous system, and maintain balance. And as Emma explains, when you stop fighting your design and start working with it, everything gets easier.

    In this episode, Emma and Kylie explore how Human Design connects to energy, healing, and whole-person wellness - including why so many women are exhausted not because they're doing too little, but because they're doing it all wrong for their type, how your energetic blueprint affects your nervous system, stress response, and emotional wellbeing, and why consistency, discipline, and productivity look completely different depending on who you are.

  • The Science of Aging Backwards: Stem Cells, Peptides & Longevity with Dr. Jeff Gross

    If you've ever wondered what it actually takes to slow down aging - not just on the surface, but at the cellular level - this episode is for you. Kylie sits down with Dr. Jeff Gross, a neurosurgeon turned regenerative medicine pioneer and founder of ReCELLebrate, to talk about everything from the foundational habits that protect your cells, to the cutting-edge world of stem cells, exosomes, and peptides.

    What we loved most about this conversation is that Dr. Gross doesn't just geek out on the advanced stuff - he keeps bringing it back to what your grandmother already knew. Sleep. Move your body. Eat your vegetables. And yes, eat your pomegranates.

    We also got into something I haven't talked about on the podcast before: mitochondrial health and why it might be the missing piece when it comes to your energy, your hormones, and even your brain.

  • Testosterone in Women: The Missing Hormone Nobody's Talking About with Dr. Mohit Khera

    Most conversations about testosterone leave women out entirely - and according to Dr. Mohit Khera, that's a serious problem. Women produce five times more testosterone than oestrogen, yet it remains the most overlooked hormone in women's health. In this episode, we sit down with one of the leading voices in testosterone science and sexual medicine to break down why the "PET triangle" (progesterone, oestrogen, and testosterone) is incomplete without all three hormones, and what women are losing by not understanding their own androgens.

    We cover everything from testing correctly, to the surprising impact of the birth control pill on SHBG, to why sleep is the most underrated testosterone tool you have.

    If you've ever been told your hormones are "fine" but still feel off - this episode is for you.

    13:11  Stress, cortisol, and the direct impact on arousal and sexual function

    23:31  Is it easier for men to raise testosterone through lifestyle? 
    24:37  The research gap: what we still don't know about women

    About our Guest

    With an extensive clinical background and a patient-first approach, Dr. Khera is especially passionate about bringing testosterone into the women's health conversation, where research has historically lagged and access remains unequal. He translates complex science into practical insight without the promotional spin - something that is rare, and needed.

  • Why You're Still Exhausted & Bloated (The Iron, Minerals & Creatine Truth Nobody Tells Women) with Meg Langston

    If you've tried everything - the elimination diets, the supplements, the protocols - and still feel exhausted, bloated, and hormonally off, this episode is for you.

    Meg Langston, Nutritional Therapy Practitioner and founder of Empower Formulas, joins the show to share why so many women are chronically depleted, how iron is one of the most misunderstood markers in women's health, and why creatine might be the supplement your body has been missing all along.

    We also get into the wellness pendulum - from doing too little to stressing about forever chemicals in leggings - and why getting back to the foundations will always move the needle more than the latest biohack.

    If you're exploring why your energy, hormones, or gut still feel off despite doing everything right, this one is worth a listen.
