Girl Talk with Tay

In this episode of Girl Talk with Tay, I sit down with Bracha Banayan, family nurse practitioner, entrepreneur, and founder of IVDrips and Hello Dose, for one of our most fascinating conversations yet. We dive into the science behind GLP-1 medications, why they're about so much more than weight loss, and how they're changing the conversation around longevity, metabolic health, and healthy aging.Bracha explains how GLP-1s work in the body, why weight gain is often rooted in biology rather than willpower, and how factors like glucose, insulin, inflammation, and hormones all play a role in long-term health. We also discuss who may benefit from GLP-1 medications, including women navigating perimenopause and menopause, adults focused on cardiovascular health, and those looking to improve metabolic wellness.We also get into fertility, blood sugar, continuous glucose monitors, and the surprising ways GLP-1s may help reduce cravings by working on the brain's reward system. Beyond medications, Bracha shares the foundational habits she believes everyone should prioritize first from walking after meals and getting morning sunlight to improving sleep and building sustainable wellness routines.Whether you're curious about GLP-1s, trying to better understand metabolic health, or looking for practical ways to optimize your health for the long run, this episode is packed with insights and actionable takeaways.xo, Tay⸻Follow Bracha Banayan! 🤍Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/bracha_banayanHelloDose: https://hellodose.com/IVDrips: https://ivdrips.com/⸻Let’s Connect! 🤍https://taylorlove.comShop Omnilux Red Light Therapy with code TAYLORLOVE: http://omniluxled.com/taylorloveShop LTK (beauty, wellness, home, & styling) - https://www.shopltk.com/explore/taylor_loveeShopMy: https://shopmy.us/shop/taylorlovePersonal IG: https://www.instagram.com/taylor_loveePodcast IG: https://instagram.com/girltalkwithtaypodBeauty Brand IG: https://www.instagram.com/loveebeauty.co Join Taylor’s email list: https://taylorlove.myflodesk.com/subscribeShop Caraway with code TAYLORLOVE: https://carawayhome.com/taylorloveSubscribe to the Podcast on Youtube: https://www.youtube.com/@taylorlovepeterson/podcasts

In this episode of Girl Talk with Tay, I sit down with Hannah Roze, founder and CEO of Plannerd, a modern wedding planning platform designed to help couples create a more organized, joyful, and intentional planning experience. Hannah shares the inspiration behind building Plannerd, practical advice for engaged couples, and what it has been like growing a company while navigating motherhood.One of the most powerful themes throughout this conversation is the idea that wedding planning should feel like an extension of the marriage you're building, not a stressful rite of passage. Hannah encourages couples to identify whose opinions truly matter early in the process, let go of traditions that don't align with their values, and stop second guessing decisions once they've been made.We also dive into one of the most challenging parts of planning a wedding: the budget. Hannah shares why facing the numbers early creates more freedom later and explains why beautiful, meaningful weddings can happen at every price point.Beyond wedding planning, Hannah opens up about entrepreneurship, launching a business while becoming a mother, and the strong sense of purpose that drove her to create Plannerd.
