Today I'm welcoming back Dr. Michelle Leary to talk about longevity medicine and brain health for women. In this episode you’ll learn what longevity medicine is, the role of chronic stress, insulin resistance and hormones in brain health, and how you can promote longevity and minimize your risk of degenerative brain disease by leveraging sleep, nutrition, metabolic health, and exercise.

In this episode, I answer common questions about boosting your energy, collagen as a protein source, and how often to weigh yourself. I’ll share how you can quickly and easily boost your energy without stimulants, why you shouldn’t rely on collagen as a protein source, and why your scale may be working against you.

Lab testing is a really powerful tool that we can use to help identify hidden roadblocks and healing opportunities. But most standard lab tests are not comprehensive and they won't necessarily shed light on why you're struggling. So I wanted to bring on an expert to explain the difference between functional and standard labs and why functional labs can be so effective in helping you achieve your health goals and live your best life.

My guest today is Reed Davis, Founder of Functional Diagnostic Nutrition and the FDN certification course, which has over 4,000 graduates in 50 countries. Reed is known as one of the most experienced clinicians in his field, and he's a wealth of information when it comes to lab testing and how we can use that data to stop struggling and start feeling our best.

This week on The Nutrition Edit Podcast is part 2 of What To Do When Nothing's Working. If you've ever felt like you're doing everything right but you're just not getting the results you want, episodes 4 and 5 this season are for you! I talk about some of the most common reasons that prevent people from reaching their health and body composition goals and what to do about them. In part 2 we'll cover the problem with toxicity, why most "detoxes" don't work, and why pushing your body harder might be backfiring on you.

In this episode, I reflect on the perception of time and how it relates to pursuing your health and fitness goals. It’s important to be patient and stay consistent on your health journey and understand that progress doesn’t happen overnight but it does happen by having the right knowledge and support.

In this episode, I’m sharing some tips for making good food choices when eating out or traveling, especially during holidays and vacations. Making “good enough” choices when you’re out of your routine and normal environment will help you avoid going completely off the rails without feeling deprived. 

Ever go on vacation overseas and eat your heart out then wonder why you still lose weight or it seems easier to maintain your weight without even thinking about it?

In this episode I'm going to talk about this phenomenon and what they’re doing in Europe that is different from what we do here in the US. I'll share practical ways in which you can incorporate these aspects of the Southern European lifestyle into your daily routine so you can enjoy some of the benefits stateside.

Today I'm talking with Mira Dessy, The Ingredient Guru about allulose, the hot new sweetener on the market that’s being used in numerous keto and low sugar products.  Allulose is getting lots of press and is even being promoted by well respected doctors and nutrition experts, but is it actually good for us? Mira sheds light on this controversial ingredient and the detrimental effects it can have on our microbiome and metabolism.

In this final episode of season 2, I’m talking about a belief that many people struggle with, women especially. I've had so many clients tell me over the years that they struggle to make lasting changes in their health and fitness because deep down they don't really believe they deserve to feel their best. As women, we are under immense pressure to excel in every area of life, including career, motherhood, relationships, and appearance. However, prioritizing self-care is often stigmatized as being selfish or high maintenance. You deserve love, nurturing, and nourishment as much as anyone on this planet, and I’m here to remind you of that and give you some tools to start believing it for yourself.

In today's episode I'm talking with Catherine Buck Le about how to stay consistent with the behaviors required to meet your health, fitness and weight loss goals, even when you don’t feel like it. And more importantly she shares how to maintain those behaviors and create lasting lifestyle and body change.

Today I’m talking with Dr. Emily Passic about semaglutide, also know as Ozempic of Wegovy.

How did our grandparents’ generation have so much less chronic illness than we do now? Why has been on the rise over the last century, sharpened in the last couple of decades?
