- 16 minutes 1 secondNo Appetite on a GLP-1? What to Eat When Nothing Sounds Good
What do you do when your GLP-1 turns your appetite all the way down, and even your favorite foods get a big "meh"?
It might feel like a win at first. But if you're barely eating, your energy, strength, mood, and nutrition can start paying the price.
In this episode, we talk about how to make eating easier when hunger disappears: simple go-to foods, less decision-making, flexible meal timing, and how to make sure a low appetite doesn’t turn into under-fueling.

7 September 2026, 7:00 am - 20 minutes 24 secondsHow to Break a Weight Loss Plateau (Without Restricting More)
Hit a wall on your weight loss journey? That's not failure.
We treat plateaus like something's broken. When the scale stalls, suddenly we're questioning everything: the medication, our metabolism, our willpower. But they're actually just your body doing exactly what it's supposed to do: adjusting, stabilizing, and catching its breath before it keeps going.
In this episode, I break down how to tell a real stall from just needing more patience, why the number on the scale isn't the whole story, and the single most helpful thing you can do about it (no, it's not "try harder").
If you're in that frustrating in-between right now, this one's for you!

31 August 2026, 7:00 am - 9 minutes 4 seconds2 Simple Ways to Improve Morning Insulin Resistance
Is your breakfast making mornings harder than they need to be?
You eat well, you move your body, you’re doing all the “right” things… so why is your blood sugar still higher in the morning? There’s a natural hormonal shift happening when you wake up that can make blood sugar harder to manage, especially if you’re insulin resistant or post-menopausal.
In this episode, I break down the physiology behind it and share two simple, practical changes that can make a real difference.

24 August 2026, 7:00 am - 23 minutes 23 secondsWhy Stepping Back Might Be the Best Thing You Do for Your Health This Year
When was the last time you slowed down long enough to just... think?
Most of us move from one task to the next, filling every quiet moment with work, scrolling, or chores around the house. We stay so busy we never stop to ask: what do I actually want right now?
In this episode, I share how a week of stepping away gave me unexpected clarity about my health, my fitness, my business, and the person I want to become. We'll talk about why rest can feel so uncomfortable, how constant productivity keeps us disconnected from ourselves, and why doing less might be the first step toward real change.

17 August 2026, 7:00 am - 18 minutes 1 secondHow to Rewire Your Cravings: Physiology, Habits, and the Thoughts That Help
Have you ever found yourself negotiating with a pint of ice cream at 9 p.m., even though you ate dinner just two hours ago?
You tell yourself you’ll have “just one bite.” Then maybe one more. Suddenly, you’re standing in front of the freezer wondering why this feels so hard.
Cravings aren’t simply a willpower problem. Blood sugar swings, stress, poor sleep, old habits, and an overly convenient pantry can all make certain foods feel almost impossible to ignore.
But you can learn to pause, understand what’s driving the urge, and respond without shame or rigid food rules. In this episode, I'm sharing the strategies I journaled about back in 2020 when I was working through my own urges and cravings, which I still use today.

10 August 2026, 7:00 am - 35 minutes 14 secondsYou're Not Lazy: How Undiagnosed ADHD Could Be Derailing Your Health Goals with Dr. Ida Salusky
You've spent years believing you're undisciplined, inconsistent, bad at adulting. But what if you've been white-knuckling undiagnosed ADHD this whole time?
More than half of my clinic has some form of attention deficit, and I see the impact on health every day: the routine slips, appointments get missed, workouts fall off, and healthy habits never quite stick. Then comes the shame: Why can’t I just get it together?
In this episode, clinical psychologist Dr. Ida Salusky explains how executive function and undiagnosed ADHD can derail your health goals, especially for women who’ve spent years being told they’re “not trying hard enough.” You’ll learn why consistency can feel so difficult, and how to start working with your brain instead of against it.

3 August 2026, 7:00 am - 14 minutes 50 secondsWeight Loss Plateau or Treatment Problem? How to Tell the Difference
The scale has stopped moving, and you're already spiraling: Has my medication stopped working? Should I switch things up? Am I doing something wrong?
Panicking and changing everything is often the worst move you can make. But how do you know when a stall is just your body doing its thing versus a sign that your treatment actually needs adjusting?
In this episode, I'm breaking down the difference between a normal plateau and a true treatment problem. You'll learn the questions to ask beyond the scale, which red flags actually warrant a change, and my golden rule for knowing when the struggle has crossed the line.

27 July 2026, 7:00 am - 12 minutes 28 secondsStick to the Plan, Not Your Mood: Building Healthy Habits That Survive a Bad Week
That 45-minute workout plan feels completely doable when you’re making it on a Sunday. Same with the meal prep, the protein goals, the whole “this is the week I get it together” plan. And then Tuesday hits…
Your sleep is off, work is a lot, someone in the house gets sick, and suddenly the routine that looked so reasonable a few days ago has completely crumbled. Then comes the “why can’t I stick with anything?” feeling that you failed.
But what if the plan was just never built to survive a hard week?
In this episode, we’re talking about why the health routines that look best on paper often fall apart the second life gets messy. Plus, we’ll get into the “survival test” every routine needs to pass, and how to make the healthy choice the easy choice before your mood has a chance to talk you out of it.

20 July 2026, 7:00 am - 42 minutes 46 secondsFinding Your Floor: How to Maintain Healthy Habits in a Busy Season
You know you should move your body, eat well, and take care of yourself… but what happens when life is so busy that even the basics feel impossible?
In this episode, I’m joined by Maggie, the creator behind @pump.med and a medical student who knows exactly what it’s like to protect your health in a high-pressure season. We talk about why perfection is not the goal, how to find your “floor” with fitness, how to simplify meals without overthinking everything, and why your mental, social, and creative wellbeing matter just as much as protein and steps.
If you’ve been feeling overwhelmed, off track, or stuck in an all-or-nothing mindset, this conversation will help you make healthy living feel doable again.

13 July 2026, 7:00 am - 23 minutes 39 seconds"I Feel Like I've Been Teleported Into Someone Else's Body": Adjusting After Body Change
What happens when your body changes, but your brain hasn’t caught up yet?
A listener wrote in after skin removal surgery and said, “I feel like I’ve been teleported into someone else’s body.” Honestly, I don’t think there’s a better way to describe it.
In this episode, I’m talking about the messy middle of body change: healing, swelling, cravings, food noise, new clothes, scale spirals, and that uncomfortable feeling of not quite feeling like yourself yet.
We’ll talk about why your body isn’t betraying you, why healing can feel so unsettling, and how to meet yourself with less panic and more curiosity.

6 July 2026, 7:00 am - 41 minutes 13 secondsSocial Media, Comparison, and Weight Loss: Protecting Your Mental Health Online with Schnelle Acevedo
You open your phone for a quick break, and somehow 30 minutes disappear…
By the time you put it down, you feel overwhelmed, behind, and worse about yourself. In the weight loss space, every scroll can bring another dramatic before-and-after, “this changed everything” claim, or account promising to have the answer.
So how do you know when your phone use has become a real problem? And how do you take back control without disappearing from the internet completely?
In this episode, I’m joined by Schnelle Acevedo (known online as Glam Nellie), a digital literacy educator who teaches healthier screen habits. We talk about the hidden cost of scrolling, simple tools to cut back, and red flags to watch for online, especially in the GLP-1 and weight loss space.
