In this follow-up episode, we dig deeper into the connection between your mouth and your overall health.

We’ll talk about how autoimmune conditions are linked to oral health, the role of the microbiome in both the mouth and gut, and what to consider when making decisions about root canals.

You’ll also learn how gum disease and gingivitis play a role in inflammation, why probiotics can help both oral and gut health, and how health issues can sometimes show up in the mouth before anywhere else.

At the heart of it all is the reminder that our bodies are designed to heal—we just need to create the right environment.

Do you feel like you’re always losing the same few pounds, only to gain them back again? Or maybe you wonder why the scale isn’t moving even though you’re “being good.” You’re not alone—and in this FAQ episode, I’m answering some of the most common questions I get about consistency, motivation, and what it really takes to build healthy habits after 40.

Here’s what we’ll cover:

• Why you keep losing and regaining the same pounds—and how to finally break the cycle with sustainable habits.

• What consistency actually looks like when the scale isn’t moving (and why health is so much more than a number).

• How to find motivation when you’re tired, overwhelmed, or stuck in all-or-nothing thinking.

• Simple ways to stay consistent with workouts—even on the days you don’t feel like it.

If you’ve been frustrated with stop-and-start progress, this episode will help you shift your mindset, focus on what matters most, and find a healthier rhythm that works for your real life.
