why weight loss-focused goals are so hard (if not impossible) to achieve

why programs like Noom, WW, calorie counting, and GLP-1s might not be what you're looking for

Today I’m sharing my favorite technique to minimize anxious thoughts in 5 minutes or less without any fancy apps or equipment.
The holidays are full of family and fun, but they’re also full of anxiety-inducing things — like lack of routine, lack of exercise, and lack of “me time.” Use this simple technique on the way to today's holiday celebrations to get grounded and zen before all the craziness begins.
Happy Holidays - see you all in the New Year!

Maggie Yu, MD, IFMCP, is a highly respected family practice and certified functional medicine physician who graduated from UCLA School of Medicine and has been practicing for over 25 years. An author, mother, teacher, speaker, and thought leader, Dr. Yu has become a force to be reckoned with in the world of functional medicine. Her journey has been anything but ordinary.
After developing mystery autoimmune symptoms postpartum and being diagnosed with an autoimmune disease at 36, Dr. Yu personally suffered from a range of chronic conditions, including fibromyalgia, early menopause, Hashimoto’s, chronic pain, depression, TMJ, and Mixed Connective Tissue Disorder. Battling her own debilitating health challenges, she recognized the limitations of conventional medicine. This profound personal experience became the catalyst for a career-altering deep dive into alternative methods of healing.
A visionary in her field, Dr. Yu’s transformative approach combines the best of medical knowledge with holistic care. She developed her Transform Protocol, an online autoimmune and chronic disease program that comprehensively addresses the root cause and triggers of disease. This ground-breaking protocol has not only transformed her life but has also proven to be a beacon of hope for countless others suffering from similar afflictions. It goes beyond treating symptoms, targeting the root causes of health challenges to bring about lasting change.
Over the past few decades, Dr. Yu has provided education and training on topics related to longevity and reversing chronic diseases. She has helped thousands of patients overcome chronic symptoms such as pain, fatigue, POTS, MCAS, autoimmune conditions, hormone imbalances, irritable bowel, depression, anxiety, brain fog, mental health conditions, and many more. Her success stories include hundreds of case studies demonstrating her approach’s effectiveness in alleviating these symptoms and more.
In this episode, we cover:
-
how Dr. Yu's own health springboarded her into the functional space
-
signs and symptoms of POTS, long-haul, and dysautonomia
-
why we should always look at hormones
-
why MCAS is becoming more and more common today

John E. Lewis, Ph.D. is the Founder and President of Dr Lewis Nutrition™ and past full-time Associate Professor in the Department of Psychiatry and Behavioral Sciences at the University of Miami Miller School of Medicine. He is also a Diplomat, Faculty Member, and Advisor of the Medical Wellness Association. He is a lecturer for the Institute for Brain Potential. He has been the principal investigator of over 30 different studies in his research career. During that time, he either directly raised or indirectly supported raising over $23 million in grants, gifts, and contracts for research studies and clinical trials and educational programs for medical students. Much of his research has focused on evaluating the effects of nutrition, dietary supplementation, and exercise on various aspects of human health and disease.
In addition to his research, Dr. Lewis has been an invited national and international lecturer at conferences and workshops and as a guest on television shows, where he discusses the findings of his research and provides guidance and recommendations as an expert in the field of health and wellness. He has over 180 peer-reviewed publications in scientific journals, where his work has first appeared in print, including some of the leading scientific journals, such as AIDS and Behavior, American Journal of Clinical Nutrition, American Journal of Public Health, Journal of the International AIDS Society, Journal of Strength and Conditioning Research, Nutrition and Cancer: An International Journal, Sports Medicine, Stroke, The Journal of Alternative and Complementary Medicine, and The Gerontologist. He has also mentored many different students, from undergraduates to post-doctoral trainees, in how to conduct clinical research and how to apply the principles of health promotion into daily practice. His seminal publication in the Journal of Alzheimer’s Disease from his Alzheimer’s study not only spurred him to leave academics and pursue a science-based business career, but also enabled him to be selected for a widely-acclaimed TEDxMiami talk about how dietary supplementation can improve brain health.
Dr. Lewis also embodies the model of health and wellness by eating a whole-food, plant-based diet for over 27 years, taking certain key dietary supplements, and through a rigorous, daily exercise training program.

Margaret Robinson Rutherford Ph.D., a clinical psychologist with thirty years of experience, is also an author, TedX speaker, and podcast host. Her book, Perfectly Hidden Depression: How to Break Free from the Perfectionism That Masks Your Depression, has reached thousands here in the US, as well as having an international impact, with translations reaching from Korea to Italy, Turkey to Germany. Her highly popular podcast, The SelfWork Podcast, has been continuously rated as one of the best podcasts for mental health and depression, and her TedX talk hit the top 50 in 2023.
Dr. Margaret’s known for her vibrantly engaging and theoretically well-crafted presentations, whether live or virtual. Whether her diverse audiences are made up of mental health professionals, construction workers, or office managers, her passionate message is that healthy mental and emotional lives can be created through becoming more transparent with one another. Sharing who you really are with those you trust is a huge step toward connection and good mental health. Rates of depression and suicide are skyrocketing. And there’s something we can do!
She’s further challenging the mental health profession to question their overreliance on the official symptom checklist for diagnosis. Instead, we need to create normalcy around suicidal feelings, listen to each person’s actual experience of their life, and respond with safety and compassion, rather than stigmatizing this very real and excruciatingly painful part of human existence.
Though I usually don't do this, I wanted to be sure to put in a content warning here for discussion of self-harm and suicide.
In this episode, we cover:
-
how she pivoted from a career in music to psychology
-
why people use perfectionism to mask depression
-
the story behind her book - Perfectly Hidden Depression: How to Break Free from the Perfectionism That Masks Your Depression
-
how you can start to express and accept yourself

Nicole received her doctorate in counseling psychology from West Virginia University. She was clinically trained in the Department of Psychiatry at Allegheny General Hospital in Pittsburgh, PA. She also has specialized training in the integration of mind-body therapies in the treatment of chronic gastrointestinal disorders and somatic disorders from the Allegheny Center for Digestive Health. Dr. Trainer has been studying integrative mental health since 2009 and has advanced training in mindfulness-based interventions, HeartMath biofeedback, and functional approaches to depression and anxiety, including nutrition, micronutrient therapy, and amino acid therapy.
Dr. Trainer has been working in private practice since 2011. She founded Native with the intention to shift the conversation in mental health care away from deficits and subjective lists of symptoms treated largely with pharmaceuticals to one focused on innate health and the integration of evidence-based complementary and alternative therapies. Further, Dr. Trainer believes that a more dynamic and holistic approach to mental health treatment would better prepare an individual for the lifelong process of understanding their emotional self and taking care of their mental health.
Dr. Trainer is also passionate about raising mental health awareness and reducing the stigma surrounding seeking help for mental health problems. She encourages a conceptualization of mental health that is more fluid and allows for occasional disruptions in emotional well-being to be embraced as a natural part of the human experience and not pathologized.
In this episode, we cover:
-
how she became a pioneer in the nutritional psychology space
-
how inflammation, oxidative stress, brain plasticity, and your microbiota affect your mental health
-
how chronic GI disorders and mental illnesses are linked

Jenn Trepeck is an Optimal Health Coach, Podcaster, and Business Consultant. She is one of Podcast Magazine’s 40 Under 40 features and was a nominee for the International Women's Podcast Awards of 2022. Jenn grew up the skinny one in a family of dieters which was awesome(!) until it went away. And so began her weight management saga.
Ultimately though, Jenn learned the nutrition education we’re all supposed to know but no one ever taught us. This completely changed her life and allowed her to say she “kicked her food issues.” From then, Jenn set-out on a mission to pay it forward and help people help themselves. After over a decade of working with clients, Jenn started Salad with a Side of Fries podcast. Based on science, yet lighthearted, Jenn talks about living life while still making ourselves and our health a priority.
In this episode, we cover:
-
how being part of a "diet family" influenced her childhood
-
how frustrating it is that no one gives us the tools to be healthy
-
the chemical connection between food and mood
-
the impact of alcohol on health and weight

You Are What You Eat is the newest Netflix nutrition documentary, and if you exist on the internet, chances are you've heard of it.

why this documentary is really just a vegan propaganda film
-
the biggest flaws in the study's research design
-
why cholesterol isn't the ONLY heart-health marker to focus on

Dr. Estes is an Institute for Functional Medicine Certified Practitioner with 21+ years of expertise treating people with complex medical conditions.
He spent many years treating complicated patients in academic, tertiary care referral, and specialty settings. During this time, he witnessed hundreds of patients being handed from one specialist to the next, never gaining conclusive answers about the underlying reasons for their medical problems.
Dr. Estes grew frustrated with the constraints of what conventional medicine could provide, and this motivated him to constantly look for innovative, complementary, and alternative treatments to improve patients' health, regardless of how complicated their medical issues may be.
In this episode, we cover:
-
an overview of LDN and how it's used in medical treatments
-
the conditions for which LDN is prescribed
-
how and why LDN works for various conditions
-
how the healthcare system views LDN as a treatment option

Emily Rowe, MD, AP, goes beyond the world of conventional medicine by combining intellect with intuition, holding multiple paradigms in her mind simultaneously. Utilizing an individualized approach, she digs deeply into the root causes of diseases, using cutting-edge laboratories and awareness of how ecological toxins can affect health. As she has personal experience with medical issues related to environmentally acquired illnesses, she embodies empathy for her clients.
Emily T. Rowe graduated from the University of Miami Miller School of Medicine in 2004 with a doctorate degree in medicine. After a brief time in the field of Internal Medicine, she became frustrated with the Western approach to illness. She realized that she was being trained to treat the symptoms of disease and its end-stage complications, while failing to address its root cause. Inspired to find a comprehensive and definitive way to heal her patients, she went back to school and completed her Master’s Degree in Chinese Herbal Medicine and Acupuncture (Master of Oriental Medicine) in 2009. She and her husband, Christopher M. Estes MD, opened the Miami Beach Comprehensive Wellness Center in 2017.
In this episode, we cover:
-
Emily's tumultuous health history and how she overcame it all
-
the biggest symptoms of Lyme disease
-
the best functional treatment options for Lyme
-
why lifestyle modifications are so important when treating chronic conditions

Modern antibiotics have been used to save countless lives from unwanted bacterial infections. However, in recent years, the WHO has started to warn the public about antibiotic resistance, most likely stemming from the overprescription of these drugs.

This episode is based on the capstone research paper I wrote for my Master's in Nutrition, and I hope you find it as interesting as I do!
Inside, I'll be chatting about:

Alexandra Harbushka’s life was sent into upheaval when she received a call from her doctor diagnosing her with herpes.
Shaking, feeling like her life - her goals, happiness, and desires - had all just gone up in smoke, she was left scared shitless and with a new mission, to share her story with people just like her and to let them know that their feelings are normal, natural, and that they are not victims.
With that mission in mind, she founded Life With Herpes, an online community consisting of a podcast, a website, Youtube channel, wellness products to support the skin condition and an online community that provides support, all dedicated to shattering the stigma of living with herpes.
In this episode, we cover:
-
how Alexandra overcame her "Eeyore phase" after diagnosis
-
myths and stigmas around herpes and other STIs
-
how sharing her story supported her instead of shaming her
-
finding community & a relationship with a stigmatized disease

I was a guest on the Stress Relief In Your Pocket Podcast with The Wellness Theory, and they were gracious enough to send over the audio so I could share it with you all, too! Here's the description:
Whether you're health conscious or not, your gut is playing a huge role in why and how you feel the way you do.
Gut health affects literally everything in your body - including stress. From experiencing chronic pain, migraines, insomnia, IBS, lethargy, anxiety and depression all the way up to feeling energized, your gut plays a role.
Today, we’re joined by Paige Harris, who spends her days helping frustrated dieters balance their hormones, get strong, & heal their gut without crazy cardio or calorie counting.
In this episode we discuss:
- How stress is affecting your gut.
- How your gut is affecting your stress.
- The link between the gut, anxiety and depression.
- The influence of the gut on the brain.
- How to get more out of the healthy foods you eat.
- Why slowing down can be the key to improved gut function.

The other day I saw a meme about a woman who ate healthy all day, and then at night she ate through 10 different indulgent snacks, just like the hungry caterpillar.
And while it was supposed to be a joke, for many men & women out there, it's not. It's a cold, hard reality -- but it doesn't have to be this way!
If you find yourself reaching for food late at night without being able to stop, this is the episode for you.
Inside, I cover:
-
the difference between binging and "indulging" or overeating
-
some theories as to why people binge
-
why dieting is the BIGGEST binge eating trigger out there
-
how to dig yourself out of the binge/restrict cycle
... and more!

Fun fact: you don't actually get your period on the pill. That's just a withdrawal bleed.

-
what your cycle looks like while on the pill

"Adulthood is basically just trying to fall asleep at night and stay awake during the day."

-
you have issues falling asleep at night
-
you wake up around 3AM to pee every night
-
you can't pull yourself out of bed in the morning
-
you feel yourself crashing at multiple points throughout your day and need a coffee to make it through

I've been finding this topic coming up more and more frequently with my clients lately, so now it's time to do a whole podcast brain dump about it.
Fact of the matter is, you DO NOT have to and SHOULD NOT compare yourself to any influencer, family member, friend, or whomever you see online.
This episode will teach you...
-
why you should STOP FOLLOWING people who make you feel bad
-
why just because something works for one person doesn't mean it'll work for you
-
why just because someone SAYS something works for them doesn't mean it is
-
why just because something works for someone NOW doesn't mean they won't have terrible health LATER
-
why just because someone's life looks a certain way doesn't mean it's the whole story
... and why I'm guilty of all of this too!

It'll be Christmas before you know it, and then January -- aka "new year, new me" "I-must-diet" time. And unfortunately, both of these times of year are full of BS surrounding proper health, wellness, fitness, and nutrition advice.
Make sure to listen to this episode BEFORE that annoying conversation about needing to "burn off food" from Christmas dinner happens. That way you'll be able to punch back with some FACTS about how your body really works, and why you don't need a crazy diet or exercise routine to be truly healthy.
Here are a few of the myths that I'm busting:
-
Cardio is the only way to burn body fat
-
Keto will make you lose fat
-
Heavy weights make women bulky
-
The harder you go, the more you'll grow
-
Having abs means you're healthy

About a month ago, Tufts University came out with their Food Compass, a nutrient profiling system created to assess the healthfulness of foods.
Unfortunately, they missed the mark. For example, did you know that chocolate Lucky Charms are more than twice as healthy for you as ground beef?
Today's episode features all of my thoughts about the new food guidelines that were created to help consumers, food companies, and public health officials produce healthier (?) foods, and why this system in particular probably has a hidden agenda.
TLDR: This food scoring system isn't perfect, and it completely vilifies red meat and fat. Which doesn't have scientific basis. But you know, whatever sells.
I hope you enjoy this episode!
