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 104: Intermittent Fasting, the Keto Diet and Athletic Training with Jamie Dant
Have you heard of Intermittent Fasting and wondered why it's supposedly good for you? Or how about why you often hear it associated with the Ketogenic Diet? Or have you heard how these things, and being a "fat-adapted" athlete can improve your athletic performance, but aren't quite sure how it works?
In this episode, I'm joined by Jamie Dant, a Licensed Dietitian-Nutritionist & Board Certified Nutrition Specialist. For the past 13 years, Jamie has worked in the fitness industry as a personal trainer, strength and conditioning coach & the owner and operator of her own gym.
Jamie specializes in helping female athletes nourish their minds and bodies without restrictive dieting or tons of cardio so they can achieve optimal health and performance.
You'll hear us discuss:
What is intermittent fasting, it's benefits & how to ease into it

How nutrition impacts athletic training & performance

Episode 098: Easy Keto Meal Prep with Jenny Castaneda of Cook and Savor
One of the first things that get sacrificed to our ever-busy schedules is eating healthy, nutritious meals. From personal experience, I know that the key to this is always being prepared, which is why meal prepping is a very handy skill to practice.
In this episode, I'm joined by Jenny Castaneda of Cook and Savor, a 100% gluten-free blog where she shares quick and easy recipes, healthy living and meal prep tips.
You'll hear Jenny share:
How she manages to make healthy home-cooked meals while working a 9-5 as a woman in tech
Three tips for anyone to get started with meal prepping or even if you already do this and want to take it to the next level
How to keep food fresh throughout the week and what she stores her meal-prepped food in
How she makes healthier versions of traditional dishes from our shared Filipino heritage
All about her brand new book, Easy Keto Meal Prep (releases on October 8th)!

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 074: Naomi's Keto Quick Start
Back in Episode 068, I was joined by New York Times Best-selling author Diane Sanfilippo, who joined me for a discussion on the ketogenic diet and her new book, “Keto Quick Start.”
A week after that episode aired, I embarked on my own experiment following the Keto Quick Start 30-Day Meal Plan. It was my first time following a keto-focused program and in this podcast episode, I’m sharing all about my experience with it.
In this episode I take you behind-the-scenes and share:
The backstory and thought-process of why I chose to embark on this experiment
How I prepared to set myself up for success
My biggest takeaways and challenges
Answers to your most commonly asked questions!
I documented my daily eats over on Instagram which you can check out by searching for the hashtag: #naomisketoquickstart!
