318: You’re Not the Problem: Why Most Wellness Advice Doesn’t Work for Your Energy
This episode kicks off a series of foundational conversations — the kind that remind you: it’s not you.
It’s the systems you were handed. We’re unpacking what happens when you try to follow all the “right” wellness rules and still feel exhausted, bloated, or like something’s off — and why Human Design and functional nutrition offer a new way to listen, rebuild, and reclaim.
This is your permission slip to stop blaming yourself — and start working with your body, not against it.

Episode 108: On Quieting the Mind and Allowing Yourself A Chance to Breathe
Being a Type-A person, managing my to-do list, meeting schedule, and borderline OCDC behavior is par for the course. But at some point, all that daily tension takes its toll.
In this episode, I’m continuing my discussion from Episode 107 with an update on the current status of my health.
You’ll hear me share how I’m using conventional and functional approaches to repair hormonal imbalances, and also, how I’m doing some inner work to address deeply rooted behaviors, tendencies, and mindsets that’s kept me in a fight + flight state, so I can bring myself back into balance in a more rested + digested state.
I share the different tools and exercises that I’m incorporation into my daily routine to reset my behaviors, build new habits and how they help to balance hormones.
Episode 107: Viewing Your Health From A New Perspective
Over the past 2+ years of the show, I’ve shared my health journey in a number of episodes, but recently I had an experience that shifted the context of how I view my health.

Episode 106: Marrying Macros with Mindful Eating with Katie Garces
If you’ve ever tried macros eating and/or mindful, intuitive eating, then you know that these two approaches are on opposite ends of the spectrum. And to most of us, they don’t typically go together.
That is unless you’re Katie Garces.
Katie is a Nurse Practitioner and Certified Nutritional Therapy Practitioner who focuses on a “real foods framework” to maximize health. Katie blends her professional background in traditional healthcare, wellness, and nutrition, with her passion for the healing power of spiritual wholeness to provide customized advice and life balance solutions for women.
She also believes that macros and mindful eating can be blended together and offers this service in her practice.
In this episode, we examine how she brings these two vastly different approaches together simply and sensibly. We discuss how slight tweaks to your macros can have profound effects and the role and impact that body wisdom, curiosity, and even nutrient density can play.
