The Transformation Show

Your metabolism is not broken. It is adaptive.In this episode of The Transformation Show, Janell Yule explains why metabolic slowdown is often a protective response rather than damage. Instead of blaming age or lack of discipline, this conversation helps you understand how stress, digestion, nourishment, and safety signals shape how your body uses energy.Janell breaks down common myths around metabolism and walks through the physiology in a way that is clear and non-overwhelming. You will learn how the adrenals, thyroid, liver, and gut work together and why chronic stress and restriction can disrupt that communication.In this episode, you will learn:• Why metabolism does not suddenly stop after 35• How cortisol and chronic stress affect metabolic output• The connection between gut health, inflammation, and metabolism• Why T4 to T3 conversion matters• What Reverse T3 signals in the body• Why undernourishing sends threat signals• How consistent nourishment and rhythm support metabolic safetyThis episode is for anyone who wants to stop fighting their body and start understanding it.Follow the podcast so you do not miss future episodes.And if you have ever believed your metabolism was broken, reflect on where that belief started as you listen.

Why does doing more stop working at a certain point?In this episode of The Transformation Show, Janell Yule unpacks a pattern she sees constantly with high-achieving women. When the body stops responding, the instinct is to double down. More control. More restriction. More effort.But the body does not always respond to more. Often, it responds to safety.This Coaching Perspective episode explores why effort-based strategies can keep the nervous system, metabolism, and hormones locked in protection. Janell explains how stress load, perfectionism, and control create shutdown, loss of energy, and the familiar feeling of being stuck even when you are doing everything “right.”Inside this episode:• Why doing more can signal threat to the body• How discipline becomes tied to worth instead of self-trust• What cortisol and leptin have to do with feeling stuck• Why normal labs do not always tell the full story• How to shift from “What should I do?” to “What does my body need?”If you have felt frustrated, exhausted, or confused by your body’s response, this episode offers clarity and reassurance.Follow the podcast so you do not miss future conversations.And if this episode resonates, share it with someone who needs permission to slow down.

If you start January strong but feel exhausted or discouraged a few weeks later, this episode is for you.In this Coaching Perspective episode of The Transformation Show, Janell Yule explores why so many women struggle to sustain momentum and why the problem is not discipline, motivation, or willpower.What most people call motivation is often a stress response. It works for a short time, then the body moves into protection mode. The result is burnout, frustration, and the familiar all-or-nothing cycle.In this episode, Janell breaks down:• The burnout loop that shows up every January• How perfectionism and productivity-driven identity fuel exhaustion• What is actually happening in your nervous system• Why momentum requires safety, pacing, and rhythm• Practical ways to build consistency by doing less, betterThis conversation will help you shift from force-based action to regulated action so change feels sustainable instead of overwhelming.Follow the show so you do not miss future episodes.And if this resonated, share it with someone who needs a gentler way forward.

If you’ve tried to “fix” your hormones by restricting food, cutting calories, or starting another plan, this episode offers a different approach.Hormones don’t reset through discipline. They respond to nourishment, rhythm, and safety in the body. When stress is high and the nervous system is overwhelmed, restriction often makes symptoms worse.In this episode, Janell Yule explains how to support hormone balance naturally without dieting, extremes, or quick fixes.You’ll learn:• why dieting often backfires when hormones are already stressed • how nourishment and consistency support hormone signaling • the role of the nervous system in hormone regulation • what a true hormone “reset” actually looks like • simple, supportive shifts you can begin right away This episode is for women who are tired of pushing their bodies and want a more sustainable, body-aware approach to hormone health.New episodes of The Transformation Show are released weekly.

If you’ve been struggling with sugar cravings and wondering why willpower isn’t enough, this episode will help you understand what your body is actually asking for. Sugar cravings are often treated like a discipline problem, but most of the time they’re driven by physiology. Gut imbalance, blood sugar swings, cortisol patterns, and nervous system stress all play a role. In this episode, Janell Yule breaks down the three most common drivers behind sugar cravings and how to tell which one may be affecting you. You’ll learn: • why cravings are not a personal failure • how gut health influences blood sugar and appetite • the role of hormones and stress in craving cycles • how the nervous system signals safety through food • simple ways to respond to cravings with support instead of restriction This episode is especially helpful for women who feel stuck in craving cycles and want to work with their biology, not against it.

If you’re feeling behind after the holidays, this episode is for you. January often comes with pressure to “start strong,” fix what you think you messed up, and push your body back into discipline. But if you’re feeling tired, bloated, unmotivated, or craving sugar, your body isn’t failing — it’s communicating. In this episode, Janell Yule explains what’s actually happening inside your gut, hormones, and nervous system after the holidays, and how to support your body in a way that feels safe, grounded, and sustainable. You’ll learn: • why post-holiday fatigue and cravings are physiological, not personal failures • how stress and pressure impact your nervous system • what it really means to reset from a place of safety • simple stabilizing habits you can start this week This episode is especially for high-achieving women who are tired of shame-based resets and want to work with their body instead of against it.

In this insightful solo episode, Janell Yule dives deep into a powerful concept that impacts every aspect of our lives—self-talk. The words you say to yourself, the way you talk about yourself to others, and even how you describe your experiences all contribute to shaping your beliefs, actions, and ultimately your results. By shifting the narrative, you can create meaningful transformation in your health, mindset, and overall well-being. Using her personal journey as a foundation, Janell shares relatable stories from her days as a high school athlete and her experience with the 29029 Everesting challenge to illustrate how self-talk influences performance and resilience. She also discusses how our internal dialogue affects not only physical health but emotional well-being and chronic conditions. Drawing on her extensive work with clients, Janell highlights the connection between what we tell ourselves and the way our bodies respond. Tune in to discover how to identify negative self-talk patterns and replace them with empowering, neutral narratives that support healing, self-compassion, and optimal health. Key Takeaways: The Power of Words: What you say to yourself and others matters. Your self-talk reflects your beliefs, and those beliefs drive your actions, emotions, and outcomes. Self-Talk and Healing: Negative internal dialogue perpetuates chronic symptoms, stress, and fatigue. Shifting to neutral or positive language can open the door to healing and well-being. Your Body Follows Your Mind: Janell illustrates how the body responds to your thoughts, sharing stories from her athletic and coaching experiences to highlight the mind-body connection. Neutrality Over Positivity: Instead of forcing positivity, focus on getting to a neutral mindset. For example, shifting from “I’m so tired” to “I’m feeling fatigued, how can I support myself?” is more sustainable and effective. Supporting Your Body: Practical steps, like hydration, mindfulness, and avoiding energy-draining narratives, can help you align your thoughts and actions for better energy management and overall health. This episode is a must-listen if you're looking to transform your mindset, break free from self-limiting beliefs, and foster a healthier relationship with your body.

Episode Summary: In this episode, Justin and Janell dive into the most common and significant mistake people make regarding mindset and personal development—expecting that doing mindset work means never experiencing negative thoughts or emotions again. They share insights on how true transformation involves awareness, managing discomfort, and understanding that growth is not linear. Key Takeaways: The biggest mindset mistake is believing the goal is to never have negative thoughts or emotions again. True mindset work involves awareness, acceptance, and learning to manage negative states, not eliminating them completely. Growth and transformation often come through discomfort, and avoiding discomfort prevents progress. Life experiences will consistently challenge your mindset, and the goal is improvement, not perfection. Insights from Justin & Janell: Janell emphasizes the importance of simply being with your uncomfortable emotions without needing to immediately fix or change them. Justin draws parallels between physical fitness training (adaptation through discomfort) and mental/emotional fitness. Both highlight how recognizing negative thoughts or emotional patterns earlier and managing them more effectively over time is the real sign of successful mindset work. Actionable Advice: Practice awareness: notice negative thoughts and emotions without immediately trying to avoid or suppress them. Use breathing techniques to manage moments of overwhelm or anxiety, helping your nervous system remain calm. Regularly expose yourself to small, manageable discomforts (like cold showers) to build resilience and adaptability. Embrace setbacks and negative emotions as opportunities to reinforce your mindset skills rather than proof of failure. Quotes: “The biggest mistake that people make around mindset is thinking that you will never have any more negative thoughts.” – Janell Yule “Growth occurs because of discomfort. You have to be willing to be uncomfortable.” – Justin Yule “Life will give you as many opportunities as needed for you to embody what you’re learning.” – Janell Yule Call to Action: When faced with discomfort, challenge, or negative thinking, pause and practice being present rather than immediately seeking escape. This approach strengthens your ability to thrive despite adversity.

Janell Yule's masterclass offers a comprehensive look at perimenopause, emphasizing holistic health through understanding hormones, digestion, and lifestyle. She encourages women to actively support their bodies rather than resist changes occurring during this natural transition. Key Phases of Perimenopause: Pre-Transition (35-41 years) Occasional body temperature irregularities Mood fluctuations and irregular cycles Early Transition (41-45 years) Estradiol decline and shorter cycles Sleep disruptions and intermittent hot flashes Mid-Transition (45-48 years) Increased sleep issues, hot flashes, and night sweats Disrupted adrenal regulation Late Transition (49-55 years) Longer gaps between periods Cognitive changes; focus on brain health Core Symptoms: Irregular menstrual cycles Hot flashes, night sweats Anxiety, depression Digestive issues Weight gain, fatigue Thyroid/adrenal dysfunction Low libido, vaginal dryness Hormonal Insights: Estrogen Metabolism: Critical to managing breast and overall health. Progesterone: Essential for mood, anxiety control, and sleep. Testosterone: Supports muscle mass, energy, libido. Cortisol/Adrenals: Vital to managing stress response; cortisol impacts hormone balance significantly. Thyroid Health: Must be assessed comprehensively, beyond just TSH. Gut Health Importance: Gut microbiome directly impacts hormonal balance, detoxification, and overall health. Constipation and digestive issues significantly exacerbate perimenopausal symptoms. Nutrition and Lifestyle Recommendations: Avoid inflammatory foods (gluten, refined sugars, dairy, alcohol). Increase protein intake (90-100g daily), healthy fats, and fiber. Balance blood sugar by including protein, fat, and fiber at every meal. Strength training is essential (2-3x weekly). Sleep hygiene, rest, and stress management are critical for hormone health. Regular supplementation: Multivitamins, Omega-3s, Magnesium, Vitamin D (as needed). Mindset Shifts: Develop a supportive, positive relationship with your body. Embrace perimenopause as an opportunity for personal growth and self-awareness. Create empowering beliefs around health and aging rather than resistance or dread. Action Steps: Track menstrual cycles diligently. Focus on gut and liver health (castor oil packs, digestive enzymes, cruciferous veggies). Test hormones comprehensively using tools like the DUTCH test to "test, not guess." Foster community support and seek guidance from knowledgeable health practitioners. Final Message: Perimenopause is a natural transition, not a dysfunction. By understanding your body's signals, supporting hormonal balance, prioritizing gut and overall health, and adopting a positive mindset, women can navigate this phase with greater ease and confidence.
