You're doing "all the right things"—eating better, moving your body, taking your supplements. But what if the real reason you're still feeling off has nothing to do with your habits… and everything to do with how you think? 🧠🤔 In this episode, we're pulling back the curtain on the unseen beliefs that quietly sabotage your progress. 😮 These aren't the typical mindset tips you've heard before. These are subtle, often well-meaning thought patterns that can keep you stuck in cycles of burnout, guilt, and stalled progress—no matter how much effort you're putting in. We're diving deep into 7 hidden mindsets that block healing and what to do when you recognize yourself in one (or several). This one will challenge you—in the best way. Tune in if you're ready to see what's really been holding you back. Oh! And before you click play … 💡 I know you'll love it, so when the mood hits, share this episode with a friend - they'll have a renewed hope that they can finally make progress with their stuck mindset, and they'll have you to thank you for it! 📢 Resources & Links Mentioned in This Episode:  👉 Live Group Coaching WAITLIST - Lose Weight & Gain Energy!

In this eye-opening episode, we're diving into the hidden culprit that could be quietly fueling your anxiety—something you're probably not even aware of.

Tune in as we break it down—and how healing this unseen issue might be the key to finally reclaiming your peace of mind.

Did you know that cortisol—your body's stress hormone—could be secretly sabotaging your health in ways you're not even aware of? 😫 What if we told you that it's not just about feeling stressed out, but that cortisol could be messing with everything from your energy levels to your waistline? In this episode, we're pulling back the curtain on cortisol and uncovering the surprising ways it impacts your body–and what to do about it 😎. Stubborn belly fat? Feeling exhausted?  Hard time falling asleep?  Can't stay asleep?  Slow to wake up (not a morning person?) Digestion issues and bloating? You might be overlooking something big! We dive into the cortisol-thyroid connection, the hidden role it plays in gut health, and why cortisol might be the reason you just can't shake those extra pounds. And here's the kicker: it's not just about stress as we know it. Chronic high cortisol can lead to a whole range of problems you might not have linked to stress.  Tune in to find out how cortisol could be quietly controlling your health, and learn what steps you can take to regain balance–and get your health (and your waistline!) on track again.  Oh!

If you're eating clean, working out, and doing all the right things—but still feel like your body's working against you—this episode will flip your perspective for good.

Ozempic? Wegovy? Semaglutide is everywhere—but is it really the weight loss miracle it claims to be? Or are we witnessing perhaps one of the biggest metabolic traps of the decade? Let's break down exactly how GLP-1 receptor agonists like Ozempic, Wegovy, and others actually work, what's being overlooked (that you really need to know!), and why so many people are experiencing unexpected consequences. No fluff, no hype—just facts (with a little common sense sprinkled in). It's sure to be your go-to episode for all things GLP-1, Semaglutide, and lasting weight loss! (and don't be shy - share it with that friend that you know needs to hear some straight talk from … your other friend 😉). Here's what we'll unpack: ✅ What GLP-1 is and does naturally in the body vs. what happens with the drug version ✅ The side effects (and why they happen) that aren't being talked about enough ✅ The critical marker that should be measured before taking GLP-1 agonists (but rarely is) ✅ What happens when you stop taking the drug—and why weight regain is almost inevitable ✅ A smarter approach to weight loss that doesn't leave you dependent on medication 💡 Thinking about Ozempic? Someone you know thinking about it? You (and they) need to hear this first. 📢 Resources & Links Mentioned in This Episode: 👉 Check out HET™ - Hormone Enhancement Therapy™ Here 👉 FREE Guide: 5 Hormone Truths Every Woman 40+ Needs to Know – Download Here 👉 Be part of the InWella Community, Live Q&A's, & Monthly Challenges – Join Here 👉 Call / Email & Ask a Question for the Podcast: 1-855-INWELLA or EMAIL US at podcast@inwella.com (Make sure to leave your first name and City, State you're from!)

I'm so excited to be BACK after a long break from the podcast - and I have some surprising updates for you!  There's a reason why I chose this topic to revive our weekly visits (more on that inside!). A menopause wake-up call is what we need when everywhere you look, HRT is being touted as necessary for nearly all women. I call foul.  But, what's a reasonable approach? As women, we're given half-truths or straight-up bad advice about what's actually happening in our bodies as we mature … and it's not just about getting older. It's about navigating a complex biological transition where you are meant to thrive. What We'll Explore in This Episode: ✅ The three biggest myths about menopause that are keeping women stuck ✅ The three key predictors of how challenging menopause will be for you ✅ Why HRT isn't your only option (and how to know if you truly need it) ✅ The Cortisol-Metabolism-Sleep trap that wrecks hormones and how to break free ✅ Natural strategies to restore hormone balance, improve sleep, and stabilize metabolism 💡 Spoiler alert: You don't have to suffer through menopause. There's a smarter way, and I'm laying it all out for you today. 📢 Resources & Links Mentioned in This Episode: 👉 Check out HET™ - Hormone Enhancement Therapy™ Here 👉 FREE Guide: 5 Hormone Truths Every Woman 40+ Needs to Know – Download Here 👉 Be part of the InWella Community, Live Q&A's, & Monthly Challenges – Join Here 👉 Call / Email & Ask a Question for the Podcast: 1-855-INWELLA or EMAIL US at podcast@inwella.com (Make sure to leave your first name and City, State you're from!)

You tell yourself, "it will all be OK", because intuitively you know that's the "right" thing to say, and you really want to feel that way . . . OK with how it all turns out, regardless. But why doesn't that work a lot of the time? Why, even after you say over and over again, "it will all be OK", you DON'T FEEL OK? There are three reasons I believe we do this. Obsess about how something will or will not turn out, despite telling ourselves to "let it go". Curious? Push play and join me as we break it down! Also . . .

Yah, the title is a bit dramatic, but you've likely never considered this as ever being something that could be detrimental to your health!  Especially since our modern lifestyle more than embraces it. Not that it is the only thing - but if your stressor bucket (or stress baseline) is already near-full, this can definitely contribute to it overflowing and wreaking havoc on your hormones and your overall health.

You want to STOP doing this or that - over drinking, over eating, under-exercising, whatever. And you tell yourself that you really need to stop . . . but despite the logic, you find yourself going directly against that logic. There is a really good reason why the brain does this, and a really "simple" way to fix it. And using the example of drinking a little too much - or more than you'd like - is a great place to illustrate it. This episode is unique to my previous episodes because I take you behind the curtain - you'll be a fly on the wall in one of my private coaching sessions (of course, the client's participation has been removed to preserve confidentiality).   Does this over drinking example describe you? You'll get some value out of this episode. Not you? The value will translate to anything else in your life you find that you want to stop doing (or start) but just can't seem to get traction. It's not therapy or treatment; rather, it's sound coaching that can be a game-changer. Not part of my FB Tribe yet?

Why is it that we (you?!) can have the BEST of intentions with starting an exercise plan, eating better - or even improving relationships - and no matter how well-intentioned and how successfully we start off, we find ourselves right back into our old habits? Actually, there's a really good reason for this. And a really easy way to create new habits without wrestling with your willpower.  Think about it. What if you could easily create the habits that would propel your health and physique to a whole new level? That's exactly what will cover in this episode.

Nearly ALL diets and programs "work", at least to a degree, or temporarily. Why is that so? In this episode, we chat about what drives temporary success as well as, oftentimes, the return to old habits. More importantly, we'll cover three tools you can use to change it so that the changes you work so hard for, can last!

It's embarrassing. As a sought-after health consultant I had a toxic stressor right under my nose and it wasn't even on my radar. That is, until about 8 months ago.  I've had breast implants for nearly 13 years and it turns out my body has been a saint in dealing with the toxicity. But, it's also been "talking" to me all along the way. Dropping subtle clues that something wasn't quite right.  I'll save the rest for the episode - symptoms, the help I got, what I did about it, and why.  If you don't have implants, this episode can still be for you. Odds are you know someone who does, or someone who's been thinking about it. If not, well, it's a lesson in "finding the root cause" to what might be perpetuating your health and fitness challenges.  Let's do this!
