I started this podcast in 2017 — not to shout into the void, but to start the kinds of conversations I wished existed. The ones that name the real reasons women feel off, even when they “do everything right.”
As a Projector, I lead with pattern recognition. As a Human Design + functional nutrition practitioner, I give language to what your body’s already been whispering.
This show is about unlearning the noise — and rebuilding self-trust, one episode at a time.

THE LATEST EPISODES
Episode 148: Adjusting Your Nutrition for Shifting Life Phases
As a health coach, I’ve had my fair share of challenges in my health.
Back in 2004, I first ventured into (what I perceived to be) healthy eating and was dogmatic in counting every calories that came my way. Years later I struggled with a variety of digestive conditions and poor gut health.
Along the way I’ve experimented with a variety of nutritional therapies and have come to learn that not all of them have the same effect, nor are they suited for the long-term, and, depending on one’s approach, can end up doing more harm than good.
In this episode, I share how I’ve adapted to the shifting nutritional needs that my body has required through different phases of my life.
You’ll hear me discuss:
My health journey from weight loss to fueling for endurance training to repairing my gut health
The aha moment when my weight plateaued
How I’ve come full circle with macros
Episode 120: The Truth About IBS (and what to do about it!)
In this episode, I’m continuing the solo series of walking you through my own personal health journey, and my aim for doing this is to illustrate the things that seemed so common, but yet weren’t normal.
Today, we’re talking about a condition that approximately half of all digestive and intestinal complaints are attributed to - Irritable Bowel Syndrome aka “IBS.” It’s the most common of digestive complaints.
But IBS is an “umbrella” term meaning that it can be applied to a number of different things. So if you have IBS, there’s a likelihood that there’s an underlying issue going on.
I had pretty severe IBS that had a significant impact on how I lived my life on a daily basis. So in this episode, I share with you:
What IBS is and common causes of it
What my life was like, suffering from it
What things I did to to overcome it
Episode 119: Finding Fertility with Monica Cox
In this episode, I’m joined by Monica Cox, a Fertility Health Coach, host of the Podcast Finding Fertility, author of “Baby & Me” and creator of #gratedvegbrekkie. Her infertility journey was a 9-year evolution, which led her to overhaul her diet and lifestyle choices.
You’ll hear Monica share:
What her life was like before deciding to start a family
What her 9-year journey looked like - the struggles, the wins and the role autoimmunity played in it
How she’s now a mum to two little boys and she now helps other women create the family of their dreams
Episode 076: Eating for Nutrition vs. Avoiding Unhealthy Foods
One of the outcomes from my experiment in following the Keto Quick Start 30-day Meal Plan (Episode 074) was the realization that I had been eating to avoid unhealthy foods versus eating for nutrition, or rather nutrient-density.
In this episode, I’m joined by Nutrition Consultant and fellow 21-Day Sugar Detox Coach, Katie Leadbetter for a conversation exploring this topic.
You’ll hear us discuss:
What does it mean to eat for nutrient-density
How is that different than eating to avoid unhealthy foods
Mindful and Intuitive Eating
The role that programs like the 21-Day Sugar Detox, Keto Quick Start Meal Plan or even Whole 30 can play in mindful and intuitive eating
And a whole lot more!
Unlike typical episodes with guests, this is not an interview, but rather, a conversation with two nutrition and wellness practitioners sharing our views and philosophies on this topic!
Episode 033: The Truth About IBS & Secrets to Healthy Digestion
Have you ever had that uncomfortable feeling of fullness after eating even the tiniest amount of food? Or had your belly
In this
Episode 031: How to Breakthrough Overwhelm & Know What Diet to Follow
One question I'm always asked and see come up over and over again is, “What diet should I follow?”
And my answer usually is, "Follow the diet that your personal evidence presents." In other words, listen to your body.
In this episode, I share:
- What my non-neogtiables are when it comes to food
- Why I hated it when people would tell me to "listen to my body"
- How to discover what your "personal evidence" is
Episode 030: Secrets to A Successful 21-Day Sugar Detox
In this episode, I’m joined by two of my clients for a roundtable interview on their experience with the 21-Day Sugar Detox. You’ll hear them share their fears in doing the program, how they approached it, what their experience was like and how the program has changed them - physically, as well as their mindset towards food. What I loved most about coaching Vicky and Judy is that they’re friends, who decided to do the program TOGETHER - and you’ll definitely hear them talk about how they’ve been able to support each other, not just during the program, but after it ended too!
Episode 029: How to Detect Sneaky Food Sensitivities
When it comes to food allergies, making a diagnosis is pretty straightforward. That’s because a typical allergic reaction happens right after you eat or ingest a certain food. Symptoms like a rash, hives or even swelling show up almost immediately after you eat the offending food. But food sensitivities are sneakier to pinpoint...
Episode 028: What's A Gut Issue?
It’s not “You are what you eat”, rather it’s, “What your body can do with what you eat.”
In this episode you’ll hear me:
- Ask and answer “What’s a gut issue?”
- Talk about why we experience fatigue
- Walk you through the digestion process of a chicken sandwich
- Discuss the gut-brain connection
