Web Admin 0 190 Article rating: No rating

Hi friends! I have a brand new episode live and today I’m joined by a neurosurgeon with some AMAZING insights on brain health, spine health, and really just whole-body healing. Dr. Amir Vokshoor is a board-certified MD and Chief of Surgery at Providence Saint John’s Health Center in Santa Monica, and he specializes in minimally invasive spine surgery with a genuinely integrative, whole-body approach to brain and spine health. If you’ve ever dealt with back pain, are thinking about longevity, or just want to keep everything moving well as you get older, I think you’re going to love this one.

Here’s what we chat about:

  • Why Dr. Vokshoor’s go-to tagline is “there’s no health without brain health” — and what that actually means for your daily life
  • The three key areas of spinal mobility he recommends everyone work on (cervical, thoracic, lumbar – plus hips and ankles!)
  • His simple daily movement routine for spinal health that takes just minutes and doesn’t require any equipment
  • What minimally invasive spine surgery actually looks like
  • How AI is changing his practice right now — including letting him actually touch his patients again during visits
  • The promise and honest limitations of peptides
  • Why chronic pain becomes a brain disease — and what that means for treatment

And so much more!!

Web Admin 0 189 Article rating: No rating

Hi friends!

I have a brand new podcast episode live, and today I’m talking about something that is so close to my heart: Where our food actually comes from.

I’m joined by the incredible Jenni Harris, fifth-generation farmer and Director of Marketing at White Oak Pastures, a leading regenerative farm in Bluffton, Georgia. If you’ve ever stood in the grocery store aisle wondering what “regenerative” or “pasture-raised” actually means (and whether it’s worth it), this episode is going to answer ALL of that for you.

Here’s what we chat about:

  • What regenerative agriculture actually means and why it goes beyond “sustainable”
  • The three shifts (industrialized, commoditized, centralized) that changed farming for the worse and how White Oak Pastures is swinging the pendulum back
  • Why animal welfare is about more than just being “cage-free” and what it really looks like to let animals express their instinctive behaviors
  • How soil health connects directly to the nutrient density of your food
  • Why White Oak Pastures gave up pesticides and chemical fertilizers and the wild story of how they started using them in the first place
  • How grazing multiple species of livestock actually works as a natural alternative to chemicals
  • The case for regional food systems and why your local farmer matters more than a big national brand
  • How YOU can support regenerative farmers beyond just voting with your dollar

And so much more!!

This episode is a friendly reminder that eating well isn’t just about macros and calories, it’s also about knowing and trusting where your food comes from.

Web Admin 0 195 Article rating: No rating

Hi friends!

I have a brand new podcast episode live, and today I’m talking about one of my all-time favorite topics: sleep!

This is a solo episode where I’m walking you through the exact checklist I use with my own clients when we’re troubleshooting sleep. Because here’s the thing: when we fix sleep, so much else starts to fall into place. Digestion, hormones, mood, energy, body composition; it all connects back to how well you’re resting at night.

Whether you’re a new mom running on fumes, someone who wakes up at 1am and can’t fall back asleep, or just someone who never feels truly rested, this episode is for you.

199: Perimenopause, Nervous System Health & How Stress Impacts Your Hormones

Web Admin 0 264 Article rating: No rating

Hi friends! I have a brand new podcast episode live, and today we’re diving into a topic that so many women are confused about but deeply affected by: perimenopause.

I’m joined by the amazing mother-daughter duo, Candace and Jess from Your Hormone Balance, and we’re breaking down what perimenopause actually is, why it can start earlier than most women expect, and how chronic stress and nervous system dysregulation play a huge role in hormone imbalances, fatigue, mood swings, weight gain, and more.

This episode is especially for you if you’re in your 30s or 40s, feeling “off” in your body, struggling with sleep, energy, anxiety, or changes in your cycle – and being told everything is “normal.”

Here’s what we chat about:

  • What perimenopause really is (and why it’s an 8–10 year transition, not a single moment)

  • The early signs of perimenopause, including changes in your cycle, mood, sleep, and energy

  • Why progesterone is often the first hormone to decline — and how that impacts anxiety, PMS, and stress tolerance

  • How chronic stress, overworking, under-eating, and people-pleasing disrupt ovulation and hormone balance

  • The connection between nervous system dysregulation and symptoms like fatigue, brain fog, bloating, and low libido

  • Why so many women are estrogen dominant — and how stress drives that imbalance

  • The importance of hormone testing (and why symptoms alone don’t tell the full story)

  • Simple, realistic nervous system practices to lower cortisol and support healing

  • Breathwork techniques like the “physiological sigh” to calm anxiety in real time
