A beautiful conversation with a wonderful individual.

At the time of post my 1:1 coaching is full but my new peri and post menopause program is available now.

In this raw and unedited episode, I speak with Colleen McGurgan and her journey over 12 weeks in my 1:1 online coaching program.

We focus on the importance of training, nutrition, and personalized approaches for women, especially during perimenopause. Colleen shares her insights on the challenges faced during this phase, the significance of adapting training methods, and the role of nutrition in achieving optimal health.

A quick one today.

To mix things up on the podcast for the next few months, I'm going with 'themed months' - December will be mostly peri and post menopause. January will be fat loss and weight loss (with a big guest in between), February will be high performance and then most of 2026 will be lot more solo episodes (based on your feedback)

My new perimenopause and menopause program THRIVE THROUGH CHANGE is open now ahead of the new year. If you're in that season of life, check it out below and see if its a fit.

Dr. Michelle is an author, speaker, educator, biologic/holistic dentist, and wellness advocate dedicated to helping people live healthier, more vibrant lives.

For over a decade, she practiced traditional dentistry until her own health crisis revealed the hidden dangers of mercury exposure. After being diagnosed with mercury poisoning—caused by years of removing mercury fillings—Michelle began a personal journey to restore her health. That journey transformed not only her career but also her life's purpose.

Through extensive study and experience, she discovered natural, practical ways to heal and thrive—finding solutions in the kitchen, the garden, and everyday living.

Today, as the founder of Living Well with Dr. Michelle, she shares her knowledge to empower individuals and families to create a healthier lifestyle through simple, sustainable changes.

In this powerful in-person conversation, I sit down with Gavin Meenan from Modern Warrior to explore some of the most fundamental challenges we face as humans—self-acceptance, self-doubt, and the courage it takes to truly meet our pain.

Gavin opens up about his personal journey with low self-esteem and rejection, sharing the practices and mindset shifts that helped him develop genuine self-acceptance. We go deep on why so many of us struggle to accept ourselves as we are, the difference between self-acceptance and complacency, and how confronting our pain—rather than running from it—is often the path to real freedom.

This isn't your typical motivational conversation. It's raw, honest, and practical. Whether you're battling self-doubt, struggling with rejection, or simply want to develop a healthier relationship with yourself, this episode offers real wisdom and actionable insights.
