About this listen

 Welcome to Wellness Rebranded podcast. You’re a woman in mid-life who’s tired of feeling drained, putting everyone else’s needs ahead of your own. You’re tired of battling food or your body, endlessly worrying about what you eat or the number on the scale. You’re done with the wellness fads, quick fixes, and extreme approaches that don’t ever work or last. You’d like tools to help you opt out of toxic diet culture… and shed the societal pressures that make you feel like nothing you do is ever enough. You’re seeking freedom, peace, and confidence. You want to connect with a community who understands the struggle and is moving past it with a fresh, inclusive approach to health, mental health and wellness. We get you… because we ARE you. Meet Maria, a mental health therapist. Elizabeth, a registered dietitian and Intuitive Eating counselor. And Tara, a personal trainer. We’re three licensed health or medical professionals with training, clinical experience, and evidence-based tools to help you boost your wellbeing and grow your health-promoting behaviors. We’ve joined forces in an innovative and unique collaboration because we know health isn’t one dimensional—and neither are you. And your whole—physical, mental, and emotional—health matters. Let’s connect and keep the conversation going!

    160. How to Handle Halloween Candy Without the Chaos: Helping Kids and Yourself Build a Healthy Relationship with Sweets
    Oct 22 2025

    Halloween is here and so are the overflowing candy buckets, sugar highs, and parental questions about how much is too much. In this episode, Tara, Elizabeth, and Maria have a real, honest conversation about what it looks like to help kids enjoy Halloween candy without guilt, fear, or restriction.

    You’ll hear personal stories from childhood Halloween memories, the “Switch Witch” phase, and how each host has evolved in their approach as parents. Together, they break down how to raise intuitive eaters who can enjoy the fun of Halloween and learn how to listen to their bodies.

    In this episode:

    • Why restricting candy often leads to binging later
    • How to give kids freedom around sweets without losing structure
    • What “intuitive eating for families” actually looks like in practice
    • The power of letting kids experience their body’s feedback (“my tummy hurts”)
    • How to talk about candy without making it “good” or “bad”
    • Setting up mealtimes that help everyone feel nourished before the candy rush
    • Modeling self-compassion and balance—for your kids and yourself

  • 159. Is It More Than a Phase? How to Spot Kids’ Mental Health Red Flags (and Care for Yourself Too) with Dr. Melissa Wellner

    159. Is It More Than a Phase? How to Spot Kids’ Mental Health Red Flags (and Care for Yourself Too) with Dr. Melissa Wellner
    Oct 15 2025

    ​​If you’ve ever wondered, “Is my teen just moody—or is something deeper going on?” this one’s for you.

    In this candid conversation, we sit down with Dr. Melissa Wellner, double board–certified adult, child & adolescent psychiatrist and founder of Annapolis Psychiatry, to break down what’s typical vs. concerning, how to start supportive (non-scary) conversations, when to loop in a pro, and why caring for your mental health is part of caring for your kids.

    In this episode:

    • The gut-check for moms: when to trust your instincts and call the pediatrician
    • School says they’re fine…but your gut says otherwise (what to do next)
    • Masking: why high achievers can still be struggling
    • Age-by-age trends: anxiety in younger kids, depression in tweens/teens, and how conditions overlap (ADHD + anxiety)
    • Therapy vs. medication: what’s first-line, what’s optional, and how to think about timing
    • Scripts to start the talk without stigma (and without embarrassing your teen)
    • The mom side: guilt, mental load, and setting boundaries without shame

  • 158. Everything Endocrine: A Weight-Inclusive Guide to Midlife Hormones with Gregory Dodell, MD

    158. Everything Endocrine: A Weight-Inclusive Guide to Midlife Hormones with Gregory Dodell, MD
    Oct 8 2025

    If “balance your hormones” feels like a wellness buzzword, this conversation will be a breath of fresh air. Tara and Elizabeth sit down with Gregory Dodell, MD—board-certified endocrinologist, owner of Central Park Endocrinology, and the brain behind Everything Endocrine on Instagram—to unpack hormones without diet culture.

    Dr. Dodell shares his evolution to weight-neutral, stigma-free care, explains what hormones actually are, and gives clear, practical guidance for PCOS, thyroid health, cortisol, and when GLP-1 medications make sense.

    We also cover the lab tests worth asking for, why strength training matters, GLP-1s, and how to navigate the “just lose weight” directive so many patients still hear. Consider this your evidence-informed, compassion-first hormone primer.

    In this episode:

    • Dr. Dodell’s shift from weight-centric training to weight-inclusive care
    • Hormones 101: pituitary → thyroid feedback loops, cortisol basics
    • PCOS made simple: insulin resistance as the foundation
    • “Balance your hormones” claims—what helps and what’s hype
    • Lab panels to discuss with your provider (and how often)
    • GLP-1 meds: when they help, red flags, and the importance of monitoring + muscle
    • How to respond when a provider says “just lose weight”
