Hi friends! I have a new solo podcast episode going live, and in it, I’m sharing a practice that has become a cornerstone of my quarterly health routine: the EquiLife Detox. This episode dives into why supporting your body’s natural detoxification pathways is more critical than ever in our modern environment.

The podcast is on Youtube now – check out the video here!

185: How A Detox Can Help Holistically

Here’s a sneak peek at what we’re diving into in this episode:

• What a detox truly entails (moving beyond restrictive juice cleanses) and why seasonal detox support can benefit nearly everyone experiencing fatigue, hormonal imbalances, allergies, or unexplained symptoms.
• The reality of daily toxin exposure from our food, water, air, and common products, and how this overload can manifest as symptoms like brain fog, stubborn weight, and skin issues.
• The science behind Phase 1 and Phase 2 liver detoxification, explaining why supporting both is essential for effective toxin elimination and to avoid common “detox flu” symptoms.
• My personal experience with the detox, detailing observed benefits such as increased energy, clearer skin, deeper sleep, and a significant reset of cravings.
• A discussion on why natural detoxification can be challenging in today’s environment due to pervasive toxins and depleted nutrient content in food.
• My favorite modification tips for the detox, covering strategies for adjusting fasting days, incorporating additional fuel, and navigating coffee consumption.

Hi friends! I have a new podcast episode live and I’m so thrilled to share a solo episode with you all about a super common and often frustrating topic: Why it’s hard to lose weight, even when you feel like you’re doing all the things!

183: Why You’re Not Losing Weight (Even When You’re Doing All The Things!)

Here’s what we discuss:

Why “calories in versus calories out” isn’t the whole story when it comes to weight loss.

The crucial role of mindset and stress in weight loss resistance, and how to calm your nervous system.

Why under-eating might be tanking your metabolism, and how reverse dieting can help rebuild it.

The impact of hormonal imbalances (estrogen, progesterone, thyroid) on your weight loss journey.

The often-overlooked connection between gut health (parasites, Candida, SIBO) and inflammation/weight loss resistance.

How over-exercising (especially too much HIIT and cardio without enough strength training) can backfire.

The importance of mineral balance and how things like stress, caffeine, and sweating can deplete essential nutrients.

The hidden impact of toxin load from our environment on hormones and metabolism, and gentle ways to support detox pathways.

Why doing more isn’t always the answer, and the importance of self-kindness, patience, and playing the long game for sustainable results.
