This episode is for you if you’ve ever wondered why your body seems to hold onto fat, why cravings hit even when you just ate, or why dieting alone never seems to work.

In this episode, I break down the storage hormone, insulin, and why understanding it is not just about biology—it’s about how your mind, habits, and environment shape your hormonal responses. I share practical ways to reduce cravings, balance hormones, and eat in a w...

If you’ve ever felt stuck in the cycle of dieting, obsessing over calories, or feeling guilty after eating, this is for you.

I am sharing about the shift that changes everything: moving from calorie counting to hormone-focused self-care. I’ll unpack why your mood, sleep, environment, and interactions matter as much—if not more—than the numbers on a plate.

What if the scale isn’t keeping you accountable… but actually keeping you stuck?

In this episode, I’m inviting you to question one of the most normalized habits in health culture — weighing yourself — and explore how focusing on hormones, your nervous system, and internal cues can completely transform your relationship with food, cravings, and your body.

Stop letting the scale dictate your worth. I share how tuning into your body, ba...

This episode is about discovering your current set point — where your body and mind are living right now with food, movement, sleep, stress, and beliefs about weight — and how it drives cravings, emotions, and overall health.

In this episode, I want to dive deep into one of the most overlooked patterns that keeps us stuck in stress, cravings, and self-sabotage: the scarcity mindset.
