The frustration, the menopause symptoms, the pain, and what finally led to her breakthrough. From discovering the power of hormone balance and strength training to walking into a gym for the first time (and eventually loving it!), her story will make you laugh, no...

We’re throwing a Baobab party, and you’re invited! Join us (and our friend Nate Dog!) as we share a wild story that starts in Nepal, circles around Africa and lands right in your sipper cup. You’ll hear why Baobab is our daily must-have. What it does for your gut, your energy, your immune system (huge news on that) your glow and exactly how we use it all day long. Oh, and Danny might just sing a little Elton John’s Circle Of Life...

We’ve always been the “tell it like it is” sisters… and this might be our most honest episode yet. When I (Pearl) changed my profile photo, I got a lot of comments and questions. Had I been doing anything different to my skin care routine? I shared how Serene and I had just had fat grafting (using our own fat and stem cells to restore our skin as part of full facial rejuvenation procedures.) The internet backlash was instant! Word...

What if the way you eat could reduce pain, fight depression, and even conquer cancer? That’s what our dear friend Jordan Rubin is here to talk about. Jordan isn’t just a bestselling author and the founder of Garden of Life and Ancient Nutrition. He’s also someone who stared down a “100% fatal” cancer diagnosis and walked out healed. In this episode, we dig into his brand-new book The Biblio Diet, and let us tell you, it’s not anot...

You’re doing all the “right” things but something still feels off. Your energy’s low. Your cycle’s weird. Your hormones are all over the place. Could it be your body fat? In this episode, we’re unpacking the truth about body fat percentage and why it matters so much more than your weight or BMI ever could. We’ll talk about how your body was designed to carry more fat than a man’s, and why that extra softness might be exactly what’...

What do filthy teeth, cable cars, sugar-crazed monkeys, and salad dripping through a handbag at 30,000 feet have in common? More than you think. In this wild ride of an episode, we dive into the gross, the hilarious, and the downright shocking moments that expose how sugar isn’t just a “treat”, it’s a force hijacking our brains, bodies, and even our families. From monkeys going feral over candy to kids bouncing off the walls on Ca...

Cindy’s journey started at 444 pounds — carrying not just the weight of her body, but the emotional burden of childhood trauma, constant bullying, and a lifetime of failed diets. She had tried it all: Keto, Paleo, Weight Watchers, even running in place at 12 years old in a plastic sauna suit. Nothing worked — until she was gifted a Trim Healthy Mama book and found Coach Amy. That was the moment things started to change. This time...

This time, she approached THM with intention—studying the principles, taking them seriously, and embracing the truth behind them. The result? Rapid (but sustainable) fat-loss and a total shift in how she viewe...

What would happen if we set down sugar for 40 days? Back in 2014, Wendy began—with an organic movement—asking herself and other women this very question… And the movement caught on!  The thousands who joined her realized part way into it that this wasn’t just about a health fast– it was a spiritual fast. Wendy and her friends were faced with the fact that they’d been going to sugar for comfort,   instead of going to God. Rather th...

The Meat: What is the gist of what we’ve been saying the last couple of years?  Bring back the hormones (BRHT): The health fat loss can take time, when you’re on BHRT. Sometimes you gain first, when you’re on estrogen, for instance.  Get the carbs back (Celebrate Carbs!): When your metabolism is healing, there’s a bit of bounce back. You gain some weight, and then will lose later. Trust the process.  Eat your prote...
