Hey my messy warriors 🤍✨ welcome back to Everything’s Messy Podcast—because, let’s be honest, life is messy and so are we. This is Episode 123, dropping right in the heart of the Christmas season 🎄 and I am fully leaning into the twinkle lights, the nostalgia, the cozy vibes, and yes… my slightly naughty Santa shirt 😏🎅. This time of year just hits different. Whether your kids are little or grown, the magic is still there if you slow down enough to see it. And for me? Nothing sparks joy quite like driving around looking at Christmas lights ✨✨✨.

Today’s episode gets deliciously messy as I dive into seasonal eating and how each season supports different systems in the body. I share why I’m incredibly intentional about what I recommend in the wellness space (integrity over trends—always 🙌), why Primal Queen is the one affiliate I stand behind, and why I’ll shout from the rooftops about products I actually use and trust. No fluff. No bandwagon hopping. Just real talk.

From there, we settle into the deeper conversation—how our bodies were designed to live in rhythm with the seasons 🌱☀️🍂❄️. I walk you through each season, what it supports in the body, and why eating with the seasons isn’t about restriction—it’s about nourishment, balance, and working with your body instead of fighting it. We talk liver support in the spring, hydration and heart health in the summer, grounding digestion in late summer, lung and gut support in fall, and deep restoration and kidney nourishment in winter. Yes, soups and bone broth get their moment 🥣💛 because winter is about rest, storage, and recovery—not hustle.

I also get a little spicy 🌶️ and clear up some wellness myths (because you know I can’t help myself). If you’ve ever heard me challenge popular detox language or question trends that don’t align with actual physiology, this episode is very on brand. Always curious. Always questioning. Always rooted in faith, science, and common sense.

Most of all, this episode is an invitation. An invitation to slow down. To rest. To try just one seasonal shift and see how your body responds. To trust that we were created with wisdom built in—and that sometimes the most radical thing we can do is listen 💫.

As we head into Christmas and the New Year, I just want to say how deeply grateful I am for you. This messy community means everything to me 🫶. I’ll be popping in with short episodes for Christmas Eve and New Year’s Eve, then we’ll roll into 2026 with more guests, more conversations, more truth, and more strength found right in the middle of the mess.

Merry Christmas 🎄 Happy New Year 🎉 and thank you for being here, messy warrior. Keep finding your strength through the mess—I’ll be right here with you 🤍

In this episode of "Everything's Messy Podcast", I’m getting real about something I live with every single day: chronic inflammation, oxidative stress, and how peptide therapy might fit into the healing journey. We’re in the middle of the Christmas season, schedules are packed, stress is high, and our bodies are quietly trying to wave the red flag… so let’s talk about it.

I break down inflammation in simple, real-life terms: inflammation is the fire, the signal that something is off in the body. Then I layer in oxidative stress as the gasoline – the internal “rust” that happens when we’re overloaded with toxins, stress, blood sugar swings, poor sleep, and all the things we like to pretend aren’t a big deal. Acute inflammation can be helpful. Chronic inflammation? That’s the sneaky, exhausting kind that quietly fuels heart disease, autoimmune conditions, hormone chaos, blood sugar instability, weight resistance, fatigue, and brain fog. Check, check, check… I’m right there with you. 🙋‍♀️

I share honestly about my own journey as a type 1 diabetic, heart attack survivor, and professional data-nerd of my own body. My labs have said “normal” while my body was screaming absolutely not. I talk about the frustration of “doing everything right” and still feeling inflamed, exhausted, and stuck—and that emotional moment of admitting how terrified I am of having another heart attack. This isn’t a polished wellness highlight reel. This is the messy middle.

Then we add the third layer: peptide therapy—and no, I’m not talking about GLP-1s. I explain what peptides actually are (short-chain amino acids that act like targeted messengers) and how they can help support repair and regulation after we’ve started addressing lifestyle. I touch on options like BPC-157 for gut repair and systemic inflammation, Thymosin Alpha-1 and Thymosin Beta-4 for immune modulation and tissue healing, and MOTS-C as a mitochondrial and longevity-supporting peptide I’ll personally be experimenting with. I’m very clear: peptides are tools, not shortcuts. They don’t replace movement, real food, sleep, or inner work—and they should always be used with guidance, labs, and supervision. More is not better.

Throughout the episode, I keep coming back to this truth: we are not broken. Inflammation and oxidative stress are not failures of your body—they are responses to the information you’ve been giving it. Your symptoms are not random, and you’re not crazy just because your CBC came back “normal.” Your body is talking to you through sore joints, stubborn fatigue, gut issues, mood swings, sleep struggles, and fear. Our work is to listen, remove the assaults, and support the systems that are trying so hard to keep us alive.

I wrap things up with some messy, doable action steps you can take right now—especially in this busy holiday season where none of us want another “perfect protocol” to fail:
choose one better meal, one earlier bedtime, or one day of nervous system reset. That’s it. One tiny bite of the rhinoceros at a time. 🦏

If you’re in the thick of it, feeling frustrated, inflamed, and exhausted but still hopeful, this episode is for you. You are not alone, you’re not broken, and we are going to keep finding strength through the mess—together. 💛

Hey, messy people! This episode is sort of a "Part 2" of episode # 117 but also to share some of my journey with hormones. I was apprehensive to hit record — not because I’m afraid of pushback, but because this topic matters. And because too many women are being lied to, misled, marketed to, or flat-out ignored when it comes to hormones.

And I’m done watching it happen quietly.

So today, I’m stepping fully into the mess and speaking from a place of experience, frustration, science, faith, and fierce love for women everywhere. This is one of the most passionate, controversial, and important conversations I’ve brought to this podcast.

💥 The FDA quietly removed the black box warning on estrogen/HRT… without ANY new clinical trials.
Not one. Nothing fresh. Just a “reinterpretation” of old studies and a quiet shuffle of risks from Black Box to Side Effects.

They didn’t remove what it causes.
They just removed where it sits on the paper.

And women deserve to know that.

💥 The estrogen narrative is broken — but women are not.
We are not estrogen deficient.
We are estrogen overloaded — from beauty products, cookware, food, candles, lotions, supplements, environmental toxins, and even the Thanksgiving turkey that ate flax its whole life.

Our bodies were designed perfectly by a Creator who knew exactly what we needed. We became imbalanced because of what we’ve added in… not because we’re defective.

And I refuse to let us forget:
We. Are. Not. Broken.

This is not an episode about fear.
This is an episode about empowerment.

It’s about:

• taking back your health
  
  
• knowing the real root of hormone imbalance
  
  
• understanding the difference between deficiency and overload
  
  
• and breaking free from the narrative that women need fixing
  
  

It’s about reclaiming what our grandmothers instinctively knew — before the modern world buried it under fragrance, flax, lotions, and “wellness” marketing.

And honey… once you hear this, you can’t unhear it.
