Emily Stimpson Chapman married her husband Chris later in life, after years of wondering if marriage and motherhood were going to be in God’s plan for her life. After getting married, she and her husband learned they were unable to conceive. They soon decided to pursue adoption. They adopted their son Toby and then were quickly blessed with two additional blessings, Beckett and Ellie. She and Chris quickly went from no kids to 3 kids under 3.
She shares beautifully about finding marriage and motherhood in her 40s and how Chris has embraced fatherhood in his 50s.
Listen and be inspired to this story of faith, patience and hope.

Sheri begins her story today in 7th grade, the year she first joined Weight Watchers. As a young girl Sheri struggled with her body image and she always felt "big" compared to her siblings and friends. She noticed her parents commented on what she ate and on her size too. She often struggled feeling like she fit in, even with her own family.
She found herself pregnant at 18 and was hoping that might help her find the purpose and family she had longed for. To make ends meet, she was working long hours. Life felt hard and in many ways she felt stuck. After a negative comment from her mom, she decided to go back to school and pursue a career in healthcare. It was one of the best decisions of her life.
Fast forward to today and Sheri shares how intermittent fasting not only helped her lose weight, but it gave her the gift of clearing the noise and provided room for healing she desperately needed. She no longer needed to count calories or macros or measure her food, she could fast. Fasting also gave her so much time to pursue new dreams and adventures. She is the co-host of Life Lessons Podcast with Gin Stephens.
Other topics: Fasting and Weight Gain: Can it happen and if so what do I do? How to find peace with hunger How to make fasting a natural habit How to live authentically and deal with criticism
Today’s episode will help you pursue health, healing and motivation to be your best most authentic self. Tune in today!

Sheri Bio:
I’m Midwest girl living in a southern world. I’m a wife, mom, and friend. I have worked in healthcare for over 27 years and I consider myself one of the lucky ones who really loves her job. But, I also have passions that extend beyond my career.
My entire adult life, I have had a true desire to help and connect with others. I have worked and volunteered for numerous organizations outside of the hospital. Over the last several years I have spent countless hours working with Intermittent Fasters, to help them reclaim their health and vitality. Once upon a time, my entire life was work, advanced education, and my family. My life was out of balance, and I really had to look at what I needed to do to live a more balanced life. I have spent the last several years trying to help others do the same and that’s where Life Lessons Podcast was born. One of the things I love about helping others is that in my quest to help, I also continue to learn so much about myself, our bodies, and our mental and physical health.
My friends call me the "gadget girl," as I love tools and products that can be used to help people live their best and healthiest lives.

You’ve asked for this episode and now it’s here! Baby Vivienne is almost 10 months old and I have lost all the weight I gained during this pregnancy.
What were and are my top tools for weight loss? Which ones have I utilized on my recent postpartum journey?
Let me emphasize our No-Race-or-Rush Approach. Comparisons, judgements and anxiety about timed goals aren’t healthy for anyone, particularly new Moms. Let’s gift each other the grace of individual journeys, objectives and body images.
Whether you are a postpartum mom or just someone trying to get healthier, these tools might make a difference for you—on your own unique schedule, incorporated with your unique lifestyle.
In this episode, I share how I've managed the past few months, and what tools have helped me the most. Not only have I lost weight, but also gained strength and lowered my overall stress.
I address some of your most-frequent questions:
Am I currently breastfeeding? How has remote work affected my health? What are my keys to improving strength? What fasting window am I following? How many meals a day do I typically eat? What has helped me breakthrough plateaus? How quickly can I expect results? Do I incorporate a meal-less day? How has movement helped me? What if I can’t stop eating and drinking something that isn’t serving me? What eating approach has worked best? What are examples of foods I’m currently focusing on? What are my approaches to dairy and fat? What does my typical lunch look like? What do I try to have ready in my fridge?
If you are looking for real-life, can-do weight loss strategies that work—after childbirth and throughout your life—this is the episode for you!

Margret lives in Ireland, home to one of the world’s longest Covid lockdowns. She is a mom of three kids, ages four years and younger. In the midst of masks, social distancing and dramatic schedule changes, Margret knew she must prioritize her health.
Motherhood had hit her hard and she found herself “comfort eating.” Happy? Eat. Sad? Eat. At 300 pounds, exercise was a struggle. But Margret learned about intermittent fasting and started with an 18:6* protocol.
In less than a year of “I.F.,” Margret lost 120 pounds. A confessed “foodie,” Margret loves to cook and discover new recipes. On her new regimen, she can cook and eat foods she loves, while still losing weight.
More good news: Because of her improved health, Margret’s allergies and asthma have also healed. She wants to share her practical lifestyle and positive results with the world, in hopes those now without answers—as she once was—can truly realize results. Margret’s message: if I can do it, you can too.
This is a great episode for someone who is new to I.F. and just starting their journey, or those hoping to revisit/revise their I.F. path. No matter what your health status, you be inspired and encouraged by Margret’s story.
Margret also provides tips on:
How did she start intermittent fasting? What food(s) does Margret find are best for opening her I.F. window? As a busy mom, how does she incorporate movement in her day? What does her typical dinner look like? Does she drink alcohol, and if so, what?
- Fasting 18 hours, with a six hour eating window.

How do you help someone going through something really hard?
At the young age of 37, Kristine’s husband was diagnosed with brain cancer. Their world stopped: The baby they were supposed to adopt. The new business her husband dreamed of building. Their plans for a new home. All took an abrupt halt.
Mike, beloved by many, lost his battle with brain cancer at the young age of 41.
Kristine, mom of four, walks us through the initial diagnosis, caring for her sick husband, hospice and navigating through unknown issues. And, how she and her kids are coping with their loss.
Kristine is openly Catholic and shares how her faith has played a role in this journey. Even if you are of a different faith background, or not practicing, Kristine has worthy advice for any life journey.
She also provides valuable grief insights for those suffering from loss.
Kristine tackles tough questions like:
How do you tell your kids your dad has brain cancer? Are you mad at God? How do you keep praying and believing even when you feel no one is listening? What advice would her husband Mike share with each one of us? What is hospice really like?
Today’s episode will touch your heart—and your soul.

I was recently interviewed by Marty Kendall. Marty is well-known in the fasting and wellness community for his work on Data-Driven Fasting and nutrient density. He has also been a guest on Living Your Big Bold Life podcast.
Today, I share with Marty about how I realized that prioritizing my health wasn’t selfish…how a lightbulb moment was realizing that by prioritizing my health, I was actually able to give back more.
Trust me, I know how hard it can be to prioritize your health. But I truly believe that by prioritizing our health we can thrive in all areas of our lives.
Marty and I also dive into what eating tips have helped me on my health and weight loss journey—in the hopes they can help you too. Also, I share some tips on helping your kids eat healthier.
Lastly, we tackle how to respond to criticism and the importance of being bold on our health journey.

Kristen Barrett wanted to start a family, but couldn’t get pregnant. Medical professionals were not finding the cause of her infertility. She did her own research and in pushing for more tests, discovered she had PCOS. (Polycystic ovary syndrome, or “PCOS,” is a hormonal disorder common among women of reproductive age.)
Kristen was prescribed Metformin to treat her PCOS. She was troubled by the seemingly lifelong duration of the insulin-regulating Metformin treatment plan. Kristen was dissatisfied with the lack of answers, and felt her health deserved better.
So, she went on a search to find alternative solutions. Kristen is no longer on Metformin and is the healthiest of her life. During her Functional Nutrition training, Kristen began to have her eyes opened on all the options not typically presented by traditional medicine. Today she shares her practical and possible wisdom as it applies to each one of us, no matter what our health challenges.
We dive into what we think about:

Kristen is a respected nutritional therapist at EPIC Health where she helps clients feel and be their best.

If you are looking for a simple yet powerful health tool, switching to drinking black coffee just may be your answer. Today I share why!
-Hot Topics and My Coffee Tips -Why you should consider drinking black coffee vs. coffee with creamer, sugar or flavors- -How to make the transition to black coffee easier -Reasons why you might actually start enjoying black coffee -Why drinking your calories isn't always the best approach to achieving our health goals -How drinking coffee with creamer may be leading you to over-consumption of caffeine -Utilizing coffee drinking while you are fasting -And, how, given time and tools, we have the power to change habits.

In 2018, Daniel Deal was on a vacation with his family. Daniel was ready for a fun roller coaster ride, but was shocked to find he was too big for the seat. That embarrassing moment was a turning point; it was time to take back his health.
Daniel typically avoided doctors but knew his health was at its lowest point. He began investigating why diets don’t work. He searched online using that exact phrase, “Why diets don’t work.”
Through his research, he discovered the work of Dr. Jason Fung and the advantages of fasting. The concept and lifestyle clicked.
Fast forward and Daniel has lost over 160 pounds. An enthusiastic fasting follower, he loves sharing his passion for IF with others. One place you can find Daniel is in our Facebook group called MOTIVATE (linked below). As Daniel says, “IF is not always easy, but it’s simple.”
Since losing weight, Daniel has started running and being more active.
Note this episode is over 90 minutes. Why? Daniel’s story has so many share-worthy layers of wisdom and reflection.
At the end of my interview, I ask Daniel an unexpected, bold question. Tune in to hear his enlightening answer.

Meet Star. Mom of six. Disney lover. Former Zumba teacher and CrossFitter. Yet one day the active lifestyle that had always worked for her—well, it just didn’t. She started gaining weight and had no idea why. She tried all the usual strategies, but nothing was working.
When she went to the doctor, the diagnosis was depression. As time went on, Star was prescribed more and more medication, her activity reduced and her depression deepened. She was desperate and without answers.
Finally, a friend introduced her to “IF.” With this new eating lifestyle, Star has lost over 80 pounds, and is medication-free. Today she helps others on their IF journey, sharing practical and heartfelt insights learned on her journey.

What is Data Driven Fasting? And what is the Data Driven Fasting Challenge? The creator of “DDF,” Marty Kendall, is here to share all you need to know. I was also fortunate to participate in the April 2021 DDF Challenge. From my time with Marty and my time in the challenge, I gleaned some amazing takeaways that could be effective tools for all of us. On part one I interview Marty on DDF and on part two I share my top takeaways from my personal DDF challenge experience.
Marty explains how intermittent fasting has helped many people get healthier without the hassle of tracking food. But, sadly, for some, fasting doesn’t always provide the benefits they had hoped for long term.
While fasting has many benefits, when we get REALLY hungry, some of us gravitate to energy-dense nutrient-poor foods that quickly undo all our discipline.
Marty’s fascinating approach to achieve long term success is to find the minimum effective dose of fasting that provides long term results without pushing your body so hard that it rebels—leaving you trapped in an endless restrict-binge cycle.
Today Marty will describe how his DDF challenge can be a life-changing tool for you.

We recently returned from a week-long family trip. In this podcast, I share a few new strategies I learned while traveling with my crazy family of eight.
Hopefully my learning curve will help you shape and experience a great family trip. A hint preview: When planning, set realistic expectations for the trip and all travelers.
Travel tips include how to pack less, eat healthier and save money too.
I discuss a few of the most-asked topics and questions:
What does my exercise look like on vacation?
How do I fast when I'm on vacation?
Why it’s important to simplify, ask for help—and rest.
Why relaxing can lead to unexpected results?
Will going on vacation jeopardize my positive health lifestyle and results?

Today I interview Emily Kearney, mom of two, attorney and the host of the Mothergood podcast, about her postpartum journey. We discuss her post-birth pelvic floor struggles, in the hopes her experiences might help other moms.
We encourage you to advocate for yourself and speak up when you are concerned. We remind you that not questioning and advocating about your health can lead to even more serious consequences.
Additionally, I share insights and encouragement for any new mom. So often I’ve found the following questions go unanswered…
Is it normal to: • Not lose weight when breastfeeding? • Be frightened of sex after having a baby? • Suffer from postpartum depression? • Bleed and leak? • Have an increased appetite? • Find your first birth to be the most difficult?
Today’s episode should help any new mom feel empowered and encouraged on her postpartum journey.

Billy and his wife, Rachel, yearned to have a child. Finally, after 12 years, they were blessed with the adoption of their daughter, Seeley.
Also at this time and after years of not prioritizing his health, Billy’s health was not in a good place. Their beloved daughter had also been diagnosed with autism and fetal alcohol syndrome. Billy’s response to these family and life challenges was slow but consistent weight gain. Playing with his daughter was becoming more and more difficult.
After meeting a friend’s adult autistic daughter, Billy realized that Seeley was going to need him throughout her adulthood as well. He knew he needed to make a change and started his journey July 7, 2020. To date, has lost over 100 pounds. (So, in less than a year, he shed nearly one-third of his body weight.)
Billy is no longer short of breath and now has energy to keep up with Seeley’s energy and unique needs. And, he adds “I’ve been more able to be the husband my wife deserves too.”
Billy’s inspiring journey reminds us that prioritizing our health is not selfish. It allows us to give back—to our loved ones and to our world.

2020 was a challenging year for many, including Britt Fisk, who faced unexpected and daunting life changes.
Britt and her husband Jeremy are cattle ranchers in New Mexico. With the help of their eight kids, her sister and brother in-law, they run a family business called “Bell Road Beef.” Not only do they raise cattle, but they also manage the logistics of shipping their beef products nationwide. (Britt and her sister dreamed up this business so they could work together and pool their unique talents—a lifelong dream for both.)
In 2020, the Fisk’s youngest child, Agnes, was born. Soon their baby daughter’s serious health issues became evident. Britt bravely walks us through what the first year looked like for dear Agnes—and her family. She shares about the many difficulties as well as the miracles and moments of hope.
In addition to Agnes’s health challenges, Britt faced her own shocking news…news that would prevent her from being with Agnes during some of the baby’s most fragile times. But Britt’s journey is one of grace, strength and faith. Given these hard circumstances, many would have given up or become bitter. Britt, remarkably, reflects the opposite.
Britt’s hope is that through these struggles she learns, grows, and can help others by telling her story. Letting go is key, though contrary to her caretaking nature. Her theme is clear: We cannot always control what happens to us in life, but we can control our response, choices and attitude.
Sometimes when life is tough, it’s easy to ask: What’s the purpose in this? Why is this happening to me/us? Britt admits she doesn’t know all the “whys,” but bolstered by her faith and support of family and friends, she is learning you can endure, grow stronger and yes, even thrive.
Get out your Kleenex. Your heart will be touched by Britt, Agnes and the Fisk family of Bell Road Beef.

Welcome to the first ever #boldbite episode! In each #boldbite episode we will tackle a listener question or popular topic in 15 minutes or less. Today is all about the top 7 drinks that could be affecting your health journey. Too often we evaluate the foods we eat but forget to evaluate what we drink.
Today we discuss: juice, soda, smoothies, coffee, milk, alcohol and more. How are these popular drink categories altering your health journey? The goal of this episode is not to tell you can never enjoy these beverages, but to have an honest discussion about each of them.
Bett reveals her own experiences with these drinks, and how they have and can affect her journey. Additionally, she shares how many are labeled as healthy and natural, and yet their claims are not supported by their respective ingredients.
Empower yourself to know more about what you are actually drinking, so you can make informed decisions. You’ll also want to hear about Bett’s healthy drink alternatives.

Jeff joined us on Episode 5 of the Living Your Big Bold Life podcast. In that episode, Jeff shared how with fasting, he lost over 85 pounds and cured his Type 2 diabetes, high blood pressure and need for statins.
He is now 51 and in the best health of his adult life. Today he is back to discuss not only how he lost the weight initially, but how he has been able to maintain and continue to improve his metabolic health for the past two years.
As someone who has a history of insulin resistance, Jeff has found success going extremely low carb and eating a relaxed Carnivore diet. Today he answers: What is the carnivore diet? What does he typically eat/drink in a day? What dietary and lifestyle tips does he have for others interested in his approach? How does he respond to misunderstandings about his eating lifestyle?
This episode is a must-hear for anyone altering or fine-tuning their health journey, including those interested in accelerating and/or maintaining weight-loss results.

On today’s episode we are talking about alcohol with scientist Gillian Tietz, host of the Sober Powered Podcast. We discuss the benefits of taking breaks from alcohol and how drinking less can dramatically improve our health. Gillian dives into the science of why we think alcohol improves our anxiety and sleep—which is really not the case. In her own life, she realized she was unable to have a healthy relationship with alcohol and needed to give it up all together. Gillian knows this isn’t the required path for everyone, but that it works for her. After giving up alcohol, she lost 22 pounds and improved her sleep, skin and anxiety. But most important, Gillian discovered that an alcohol-free life helped her like herself again and also find a peace that had eluded her before. Her bold decision to stop drinking has truly changed her life for the better. No matter what your relationship is with alcohol, you will walk away from this discussion with some powerful science and tips applicable to your unique health journey.
The point of this episode is not to tell everyone to stop drinking…Gillian shares some valuable insights on the benefits of simply taking breaks from or reducing alcohol. She also explains how she realized she had to completely stop drinking. I’m honored to welcome Gillian, who candidly and wisely takes us on her health journey. We will all be the better for it.

Mary Lenaburg’s very personal story is powerfully simple: When she fought the person God wanted her to be, problems and hilarity ensued. But when she embraced and lived as the person God created her to be, the beauty unfolded.
Mary also shares the heartwarming journey of raising her severely disabled daughter, Courtney, until she passed away at the young age of 22. Her hard-gained insights are valuable tools for others going through tough times as well as those helping others through life challenges.
Candid about how her marriage also struggled, Mary explains how they overcame differences and problems. Her honest, caring advice for couples in conflict is real-life and hopeful.
We can all relate to Mary, and, for a moment or a lifetime, wanting to be someone who we are not. And yet we are all called to be ourselves…our imperfect, broken, uniquely special selves. Mary’s story is just another reminder that the world needs you, just as you are.

Throughout her life, Paige struggled with “diet brain,” a surprisingly common, frustrating condition. She explains this term and shares the tools sufferers can use to overcome it. Once tipping the scales at over 315 pounds, Paige had tried all the regimens and products…they would work at first, and then she would gain the pounds back and more. You can imagine how defeated she felt. Paige finally resorted to weight loss surgery. She was able to lose 150 pounds. Sadly, her struggles continued, and eventually her weight bounced back. However, today is a story of hope. Paige has finally found strategies that have helped her reach a current weight of 160 pounds. Active, strong, vibrant and positive, she also wrote a book about her journey so she could help others. Paige reminds us that mindset really does matter.

Struggling with a devastating breakup and dissatisfaction with her career, Carin was ready to make a change. Although successful as a Creative Director, she felt called to something very different—and unusual.
Her Cuban-immigrant parents taught her to work hard and not fear risk-taking. Carin had always been drawn the taste and significance of Scotch whiskey. Today she tells of her uncharted path: an entrepreneurial journey to creating Sia Scotch, now a recognized, award-winning label. Carin also provides advice for others interested in entrepreneurship or facing tough career decisions.
Despite the demands of managing Sia Scotch, Carin also prioritizes her health. (She explains how she carefully moderates her own alcohol intake, by the way.) Hear more about her great ideas for movement, fasting and eating, all that have helped her navigate through business pressures and the new reality of COVID-19.
Earlier in her life, Carin thought she did not want children. However, she later found love and a new passion for being a mom. You’ll learn of her journey through IVF and miscarriage—and how she and her husband are now pursuing adoption, through both foster care and international options.

Marty Kendall joins us from Brisbane, Australia. His wife is a T1 diabetic and he has a family and personal history of obesity. These challenges inspired his passion for nutrition, as he wanted to improve both his wife’s health journey, and his own. Now Marty is dedicated to helping others too. An engineer by day, he started diving into nutrient data and has received world-wide attention from physicians and nutrition experts.
Marty, once a dedicated Keto and Paleo follower, no longer limits himself to just one eating lifestyle. Instead, he focuses on the highest nutrient, most health-productive foods. He emphasizes that once your blood sugars are stabilized, then, depending on your goals, you can work on the other elements such as protein, fat and nutrients. He also emphasizes how combining this high-nutrient approach with intermittent fasting can dramatically improve results.
We wrap up by discussing some of the highest and lowest nutrient foods, plus his practical and healthful eating strategies for his family of four—and yours.
Marty leads Facebook groups and has authored many cookbooks, all created to maximize your health journey.

Dr. Jaime was a collegiate athlete and never really had to be concerned about what she ate. Along came medical school, a growing family and a more sedentary life, and she found herself with pre-diabetes, thyroid issues and PCOS. She felt like a hypocrite as a nutrition major and a physician.
In a span of just five short years, Dr. Jaime is barely recognizable. She has transformed her body composition and found her purpose and passion. She has never felt or looked better, plus has healed all of her prior conditions.
She shares specific details about her daily routine, diet, exercise and lifestyle. Dr. Jaime provides some great tips to those who might be struggling with similar health issues. She realized she had to fill her cup first before she could truly serve others.

Graeme Currie shares his life-changing journey of losing over 130 Pounds in 15 months.
Graeme comes to us from Perth, Australia. He was a closet eater and sugar addict—and obese from a young age. It took an emotional breakdown to convince Graeme to change the course of his health. Tipping the scales at 360 pounds, he knew he might not live much longer if he didn’t.
Graeme shares candidly how he dramatically changed his shopping, eating and lifestyle to improve his health. He wants to help the many who have similar food addictions—anyone needing a real story of hope.
He combined his new tools—eliminating sugar and fast food, plus intermittent fasting—and lost over 130 pounds in 15 months. He has successfully maintained that weight loss for over a year.
Now Graeme shares his journey in the hopes to help others. He is the author of the soon-to-be-released book, The Fasting Highway, and hosts a podcast of the same name.
Even if you are not needing to lose weight, Graeme gives some great encouragement on mindset and health. This episode is one not to miss!
