This Top 100 podcast provides evidence-based education on metabolic health, hormones, and weight regulation for Catholic women in their 30s and 40s. Hosted by a Registered Dietitian and Integrative & Functional Nutrition–Certified Practitioner, the show examines the physiology behind weight gain, fatigue, insulin resistance, stress hormones, thyroid health, and perimenopause.
Independently named one of the Top 15 Catholic podcasts, each episode translates clinical nutrition science and functional health concepts into clear, practical education—without extreme dieting or conflicting with Catholic moral teaching. Topics include metabolic resilience, blood sugar regulation, hormonal transitions, and sustainable lifestyle factors that support long-term health.

As women, we are bombarded with confusing messages about weight loss vs body acceptance.
Should you strive to lose weight OR find your peace in the body positivity movement.
Join me in a conversation with Lina Forrestal from the New Mamas Podcast. We aired this conversation on her show a few weeks ago, but it was just TOO good not to share with you!
You’ll leave with an understanding of how to love yourself in the process of weight loss and the exact verbiage to speak to that woman in the mirror!
Aligning your weight loss goal with your desire to love yourself can be…tricky. But that’s exactly why I do what I do--support women like you through this process in my group coaching program. DOORS OPEN IN A FEW WEEKS!
Reheat your coffee and let’s do this, friend!
