39. Why Iron Supplements Aren't Helping Your Anemia or Fatigue
Hi Listeners!  In this episode, we’re diving into a major myth about anemia that could be keeping you exhausted and frustrated. If you've been told to take iron supplements to fix your low energy—but they're not helping—this conversation will open your eyes. I share my journey from what I was taught in pharmacy school to what I’ve now learned through functional and root cause medicine. You’ll discover how iron overload, not deficiency, is often the real problem—and how this contributes to oxidative stress, poor mitochondrial function, and even chronic conditions like PCOS, endometriosis, and insulin resistance. We’ll explore how enzymes, copper, and trace minerals like magnesium play a key role in helping your body use iron properly, and how remineralizing can restore your energy from the inside out. You’ll learn practical tips to support your metabolism, avoid harmful iron sources, and why blood donations might be one of the best things you can do for your health. If you’re tired of bandaid solutions and want to feel vibrant again—this episode is for you. I pray this blesses you!

37. 7 Consistent Habits of Healthy Busy Moms
Hi Listeners!    In this episode, I reflect on my own health journey—from obsessive calorie counting and punishing cardio sessions to discovering a more freeing, faith-filled path to wellness. If you’ve ever thought that being healthy meant restriction, guilt, or rigid routines, you're not alone. I’ve been there, too—and now I know better. Today, I’m breaking down the 7 key habits I’ve seen in the healthiest and busiest moms I know. These women aren’t perfect—but they are vibrant, grounded, and thriving. We’ll talk about everything from nourishing your gut, eating whole foods, and moving with joy—not stress—to making space for prayer, gratitude, and deep rest. This isn’t another "do more" checklist. It’s a reminder that your health is a gift and a tool for living out your purpose. Whether you’re overwhelmed, just starting out, or need a reboot, this episode will inspire you to make sustainable changes—rooted in truth, not trends. I pray this blesses you!

36. The Keto Diet- How it Affects Our Hormones, Gut Health, and Weight Loss
Hi Listeners! Is the keto diet the magic solution for weight loss—or is it another trend that leaves women feeling drained, deprived, and imbalanced? In this episode, we’re diving deep into what keto actually is, how it impacts your hormones, gut health, and metabolism, and why not all keto is created equal. From dirty to clean keto, we’ll unpack the marketing hype, the science behind ketosis, and the very real effects these diets can have on your energy, digestion, and long-term health. I also share my personal journey of chasing quick fixes with processed “keto-friendly” foods. We’ll talk about hormone-friendly keto strategies, the dangers of extreme restriction, and why fiber, whole foods, and a cyclical approach may be the key to sustainable success. If you’re a woman trying to make sense of it all, this episode will give you the clarity (and confidence) to nourish your body in a way that works for you. I pray this blesses you!

35. How to Satisfy Your Sweet Tooth While Still Reaching Your Goals and the Skinny on Sugar-Free Alternatives
Hi Listeners! If you’ve ever felt like sugar has a hold on you, you’re not alone—and you’re definitely not weak. In this episode, I’m opening up about my own journey from sugar obsession to sweet freedom. We’ll talk about why cravings happen (it’s not always lack of willpower), how sugar affects your gut and metabolism, and the sneaky ways it’s been hijacking your energy, mood, and weight loss efforts. I’ll share the small but powerful changes I made that helped me retrain my taste buds, stabilize my blood sugar, and finally feel in control again. You’ll also get the real scoop on sugar-free alternatives—what to use, what to avoid, and why some “healthy” options may be doing more harm than good. Plus, I’ll share practical tips to enjoy treats without the guilt, including how to time your sweets for less blood sugar impact and my go-to low-sugar swaps. Whether you’re looking to cut back, ditch the sugar addiction, or simply make smarter choices, this episode will give you tools, hope, and a big dose of encouragement. I pray this blesses you!

34. Beyond Ozempic- How to Naturally Improve Your GLP-1 for Fat Loss
Hi Listeners! In this episode, we’re peeling back the layers on GLP-1—the powerful hormone your body already produces that helps regulate blood sugar, curb cravings, and support weight loss. While drugs like Ozempic have brought GLP-1 into the spotlight, the truth is, your body is not broken—it just needs the right support.  We’ll explore how gut health, protein intake, strength training, sleep, and stress all play a role in naturally optimizing your GLP-1 levels. You’ll also learn why relying solely on medication might set you up for weight regain and muscle loss—and how to avoid that path. Whether you’re currently using a GLP-1 agonist or simply looking for sustainable weight loss strategies, this episode is for you. I share real tools and practices I use with my clients to reduce food noise, improve satiety, and build an amazing metabolism. From the right probiotics to strength training and spiritual mindset work, you’ll walk away with action steps you can take today.  It’s not about willpower—it’s about understanding your body and nourishing it well.

33. Insulin Resistance: The Reason You Struggle with Fatigue, Moodiness, and Weight Loss
Hi Listeners! Are you constantly tired, craving carbs, and frustrated with stubborn weight that just won’t come off—no matter how healthy you think you're eating? You might be dealing with insulin resistance, and chances are, no one has explained it to you this way before.  In this episode, I share my personal journey from pharmacist to functional medicine advocate, and how I went from thinking insulin resistance only applied to diabetics… to realizing it was one of the hidden forces sabotaging my own health.  We’ll unpack how insulin should work, what happens when your body stops responding to it, and why it completely derails your metabolism, mood, and energy. You’ll learn the top symptoms to watch for, the labs to request, and—most importantly—how to start reversing insulin resistance with practical, real-life changes. Plus, grab my free Eat Clean Snack List (below) to start making blood sugar-friendly swaps today—no guesswork needed! I pray this blesses you!

32. How Birth Control is Causing Your Fatigue, Mood Swings, and Weight Gain (And What You Can Do About It!)
Hi Listeners! Is your birth control silently wrecking your energy, mood, and metabolism? In this eye-opening episode, I’m diving deep into a topic I’m deeply passionate about—not just as a former pharmacist, but as a woman who’s been there.  You’ll hear my personal story of how birth control impacted my health, and why so many women I’ve worked with are dealing with the aftershocks of post-birth control syndrome. We’ll break down how the pill affects your hormones, gut health, and metabolism—contributing to symptoms like chronic fatigue, mood swings, weight struggles, acne, and irregular cycles. This isn’t about being anti-birth control—it’s about being pro-informed so you can make empowered choices for your body. We’re covering what you weren’t told at the doctor’s office, how synthetic hormones disconnect your brain from your ovaries, and why masking symptoms with medication can worsen the root issue—whether that’s blood sugar instability, gut dysfunction, or nutrient deficiencies. I’ll also walk you through real, actionable steps you can take to begin restoring your energy, balance your hormones naturally, and feel confident in your body again.  If this episode resonates with you, please share it with a friend or on social media. Your story and your healing journey could inspire someone else to start theirs. I pray this blesses you!

30. Alcohol and How it Affects Our Gut Health, Metabolism, and Hormones
Hey Listeners! In this eye-opening episode, we’re diving into the not-so-happy side of happy hour. From gut health and metabolism to hormone balance and sleep, alcohol has a bigger impact on your body than you might realize.  I share my personal story of discovering liver inflammation through a thermogram and unpack the science behind how alcohol can disrupt the gut lining, fuel candida overgrowth, spike cravings, and interfere with your body’s ability to process nutrients and hormones. Whether it's leaky gut, disrupted sleep, or estrogen dominance, there's a lot more going on behind that glass of wine than meets the eye. But this isn’t about quitting altogether—it’s about drinking smarter. I’ll walk you through practical tips for improving your alcohol consumption, reducing hangover symptoms, and even enjoying social settings with mocktail alternatives and functional drink swaps.  Plus, we touch on the virtue of temperance and the power of feeling good—physically, mentally, and spiritually—when you choose to consume more consciously. If you've ever wondered how alcohol really affects your body or want to enjoy your summer drinks without sabotaging your health, this episode is for you. I pray this blesses you!

29. Muscle and How it Affects our Hormones, Metabolism, and Gut Health
Episode 29. Muscle and How it Affects our Hormones, Metabolism, and Gut Health In this episode, we dive deep into the powerful role muscle plays in our overall health, especially as we age.  If you’ve ever hated cardio (like me!) and thought lifting was just for bodybuilders, this episode will flip that mindset. I share my personal journey of ditching the idea of long runs and embracing strength training—and how it made me feel strong without the breathless misery.  We bust the myth that lifting makes women bulky and highlight how building muscle actually improves hormone balance, boosts metabolism, and supports gut health. From increasing testosterone levels (yes, women need it too!) to lowering insulin and supporting bone density, muscle is truly metabolic gold. If you’re in your 30s or beyond, resistance training shouldn’t be optional—it’s essential. We talk about simple ways to get started.  Muscle loss doesn’t have to be your future. Feel the difference in your clothes, energy, and confidence. It’s never too late to begin—join us in the May Momentum Program.

🎙️ Episode 28: How Your Gut Health Is at the Root of Your Sweets Cravings, Fatigue, Moodiness, and Low Metabolism Hey friend—if you’ve ever found yourself knee-deep in peanut M&Ms, snapping at your family, dragging through the day with zero energy, or wondering why your metabolism feels stuck... this episode is for you. I’m sharing my own story of sugar cravings, mood swings, and feeling totally off—and how gut health was at the center of it all. From detox struggles to functional medicine breakthroughs, I’ll walk you through what I wish I’d known sooner. We’ll share simple swaps you can make today to feel better—mind, body, and spirit. 📖 Quotes to Remember: “The human body has a ringmaster... It controls your digestion, your immunity, your brain, your weight, your health, and even your happiness. This ringmaster is the gut.” — Nancy Mure “Be who God meant you to be and you will set the world on fire.” — St. Catherine of Siena 💛 Final Thoughts: For years, I wasn’t living my full potential—not because I didn’t want to—but because I didn’t feel well. Now that I’ve healed, I want the same for you. We have work to do—God’s work—and that starts by taking care of the body He gave us. I pray this blesses you!
