Holly and I get into the shame, the guilt, and the internal chaos so many high-achieving women feel with food, even when they "look" like they have it all together. If you’ve ever struggled with emotional eating or food obsession, this one is for you.
In this episode, I’m joined by Emotional Eating, Digestive, and Hormone Expert Amber Romaniuk to explore the hormonal root causes of emotional eating. From dopamine highs to hunger hormones like ghrelin and leptin, Amber breaks down how imbalances, especially during perimenopause and menopause, can make cravings stronger, sabotage your hunger cues, and heighten emotional overwhelm.
The scale won’t budge no matter what you do. You're wondering how to actually lose fat, build muscle, and feel stronger in midlife. In this episode, I sit down with fitness and nutrition expert Dr. Derek Alessi to unpack the myths keeping midlife women like you stuck. He helps you narrow down what to focus on for true fat loss, muscle gain, and longevity.
I’m joined by hormone specialist Dr. Sarah Daccarett, and we’re digging into the real physiological reasons why your emotional eating may not be emotional at all — it may be biological. From estrogen to GLP-1 to leptin and even testosterone, Dr. Sarah explains exactly how your hormonal shifts are affecting your appetite, cravings, metabolism, gut health, sex drive, and more.
