Listen in as we discuss the difference between burnout and stress, why our bodies weren’t designed for burnout, how to know when your stress load is HIGH, setting up boundaries and more.
Episode 62: Lyme Prevention & Gut Health
Today I’m re-releasing an episode I recorded last year, almost to the day! I was originally answering a listener question about Lyme disease prevention but I ended up getting so much more into overall immune health, gut health, and everything I said is so similar to what we’re all experiencing and going through right now. Even if you’ve listened to this episode before, I encourage listening to it again.
Episode 61: Using Your Cycle to Plan Your Life - Menstruation, Ovulation & Tracking Hormones
“Every person on earth is here because of their mother’s menstrual cycle. It really makes you think: why don’t we have more reverence and appreciation for the it?”
In today’s episode I’m sitting down with Lisa Hendrickson-Jack of Fertility Friday. She is a certified Fertility Awareness Educator, a Holistic Reproductive Health Practitioner, and has a lot wisdom to share.
Episode 60: Weight Gain & Identity Loss
Maybe you’re coming around to the idea that chronic under-eating and yo-yo dieting has contributed to some of your health issues. In order to feel better (balance hormones/reduce fatigue/support fertility/support immune system) you might actually have to EAT MORE and WORKOUT LESS.
BUT WHAT THE F DO YOU IF YOU’RE SCARED SHITLESS?
What happens when the "fit, thin, healthy girl” starts to gain weight?
In this episode I interview Denver based NTP and women’s health coach Jessica Christin. Jess shares her story of disordered eating, over-exercise, and the identity crisis that came with taking charge of her health.
Episode 59: Fasted Workouts, Cortisol & Weight Loss, BCAAs, Caloric Needs

Tune in for this listener question episode!

Episode 56: Oral Health with Primal Life Organics
Interview with Trina Felber, the creator and CEO of Primal Life Organics, where the focus is on oral health as the gateway to internal health. We're sitting down to discuss why oral health directly impacts gut health and how you can boost immunity through your mouth. We also cover questions like: Is it possible to reverse a cavity? Why is gum health so important? What causes bad breath? and Flouride: Yes or No?
Episode 55: How to Tell if Your Blood Sugar is a Problem
Talking about blood sugar isn’t exactly sexy or glamorous. It’s for sure not winning any clickbait awards.
But blood sugar regulation is arguably one of the most important things to consider when we’re trying to put together an owner’s manual for our own healthy bodies.
The truth is that most people don’t realize just how much unstable blood sugar impacts their health -- everything from hormonal balance to thyroid function to inflammation to brain health.
Just like Ron Burgundy, blood sugar is kind of a big deal.
Episode 54: How to Fuel High Intensity Interval Training
In this episode I'm talking all things exercise, and how to get the most our of your fitness routines. Tune in as I talk about signs that you’re not properly fueling your workout, the top 4 reasons you’re bonking during a workout, signs of low blood sugar, the worst diet for HIIT, fasted workouts and pre and post workout nutrition, and more.
Episode 53: When Your Doctor Doesn’t Believe Your Pain
The recent Selma Blair interview on Good Morning America brought to light a scary fact: women are not being heard by their medical providers. Chronic conditions are going undiagnosed for YEARS, despite the fact that women are reporting real physical problems.
On Episode 53 of the Funk’tional Nutrition Podcast, I interview Dr. Cristin Zaimes of Oceanside Physical Therapy to discuss how sexism in healthcare creates shame and distrust in our own bodies.
