What if AI could help you connect the dots in your health? In this Just the Babes episode, we’re tackling some of the biggest questions women have about their bodies, hormones, and health. Why are you exhausted even when you think you’re getting enough sleep? Could perimenopause be behind your changing symptoms, stubborn weight gain, or shifting hormones?

We also share our favorite tools for tracking sleep and hormones, discuss common sleep-support mistakes (yes, including taking too much melatonin!), and explore how AI can help you ask better questions about your health.

| Tongue Tied: The Root Cause Nobody Checks l How Your Tongue Shapes Your Breathing, Diaphragm & Whole-Body Tension with Dr. Neel Bulchandani | 05 Oct 2026 | 01:05:18 | |
Could your tongue be the reason your body work never seems to hold? In this episode, we sit down with Dr. Neel Bulchandani to explore how the tongue influences far more than speech and swallowing, from breathing and the diaphragm to tension patterns throughout the whole body. Dr. Neel walks us through how tongue ties begin, how to assess them, and why they remain so controversial. We get into what Weston A. Price's work and evolution can tell us about modern mouths, the four phenotypes, and what tongue restrictions mean for lactation, breastfeeding, and gas and bloating in babies. He also explains his Floor Four framework, how the brain decides what to loosen versus strengthen, and what treatment for a tongue tie looks like. Plus, he guides us through a visualization exercise you can follow along with in real time. Dr. Neel Bulchandani is an integrative specialist working at the intersection of manual therapy, tongue/jaw function, longevity, and health optimization. He developed Functional Mandibular Diaphragmatic Integration (FMDI), linking tongue and jaw mechanics with cranial, visceral, fascial, and foot dynamics to unlock whole-body pain, tension, and dysfunction. He trains practitioners and organizations worldwide, consults for Ben Greenfield’s Life Network team, is on faculty with the Institute of Applied Quantum Biology, and hosts the Compromised to Alchemized podcast.

Is cortisol really the enemy? Or have we completely misunderstood this essential hormone? In this fascinating conversation, Dr. Erin Kinney breaks down what healthy cortisol should actually look like, how chronic stress can leave us stuck in a cycle of exhaustion, and the surprising signs that your nervous system may be dysregulated. We share our own burnout experiences as we explore the connections between cortisol, blood sugar, thyroid function, perimenopause, caffeine, intermittent fasting, and even fasted workouts. Dr. Kinney also reveals why multitasking, emotional suppression, and stealth infections can keep the body in stress mode—and what we can do to strengthen our “relax muscle.” If you’ve ever felt exhausted but wired, relied on caffeine to get through the day, or wondered why your body isn’t responding to all the “healthy” things you’re doing, this episode is a must-listen! Dr. Erin Kinney is a Naturopathic Doctor, speaker, and podcast host who helps stressed-out patients balance their hormones, improve their mood, and restore their energy.

In this fascinating episode, we sit down with Dr. Jeff McNairy, Chief Medical Officer at Rythmia and a pioneer at the intersection of Western psychology and indigenous plant medicine, to explore the transformative potential of ayahuasca. Dr. Jeff explains how this powerful medicine may influence the brain, including synaptic plasticity, while emphasizing the critical importance of safety, screening, intention, and the “set and setting” surrounding the experience.

| If Clothes Had to Disclose Ingredients & How to Shop Smarter with Chris Kolbe of Hypernatural l Rethinking Plastics, PFAS, Dyes & Toxins in Our Clothing and a Return to Natural Biomaterials that Support Your Health | 24 Aug 2026 | 00:58:50 | |
What if the clothes touching your skin every day are quietly exposing you to chemicals you never agreed to wear? In this eye-opening conversation, Chris Kolbe pulls back the curtain on the plastic-heavy clothing industry, revealing the hidden chemicals, questionable dyes, PFAS, and “recycled” materials that can turn your closet into a potential source of exposure. We dive into the most important swaps to make, how to identify truly cleaner fabrics and underwear, why European standards often differ from those in the U.S., and whether you really have to sacrifice performance to choose healthier clothing. Plus, Chris explains the science behind HyperNatural’s innovative Hyper-Cool Jade™ technology and shares his vision for transforming the apparel industry from the inside out. Chris Kolbe is the cognizant founder of HyperNatural, which he launched in 2022 after recognizing the overlooked health potential of bio-based materials in an apparel industry dominated by plastic-heavy synthetics. He saw what consumers were up against: the “Perfect Problem” of opaque systems pushing chemical-loaded performance fabrics into closets and onto skin with little awareness. Through HyperNatural, he is building a premium wellness apparel brand and bio-based materials platform powered by patented nano fiber technology called Hyper-Cool Jade™ to create a cleaner, higher-performing alternative to the synthetic / chemical status quo. With more than 30 years of experience across apparel, retail, merchandising, design, and brand building, Chris has held senior executive leadership roles at some of the industry’s most recognized brands and retailers, including Polo Ralph Lauren, Urban Outfitters, J.Crew, and Kohl’s, as well as serving as President of Lands’ End.

| Your Body Isn’t the Problem: How to Reclaim Your Self-Trust & Health Sovereignty with Dr. Stephanie Rimka | Medical Gaslighting, Autism, Nervous System Health & Intimacy with Dr. Stephanie Rimka | Medical Gaslighting, Nervous System Regulation, Autism Spectrum Parenting, & Restoring Intimacy | 10 Aug 2026 | 01:32:15 | |
What happens when you stop outsourcing your health and start learning how to think for yourself? In this powerful conversation, Dr. Stephanie Rimka challenges the way we’ve been taught to approach health, healing, and even our own bodies. We dive into medical gaslighting, health sovereignty, nervous system regulation, autism spectrum, biohacking, and why the right intervention at the wrong time can sometimes do more harm than good. We also explore the deeper biology of safety, femininity, intimacy, relationships, and what it takes to reconnect with yourself after years of overriding your own signals. Dr. Rimka offers a radically different perspective on health: one that asks us to stop blindly following protocols, understand our own physiology, and learn how to think rather than simply being told what to do. If you’ve ever felt dismissed by the medical system, disconnected from your body, stuck in survival mode, or overwhelmed by conflicting health advice, this conversation will challenge you to rethink what it really means to take your health back. Dr. Stephanie Rimka is a clinician, educator, and speaker specializing in mitochondrial function, nervous system regulation, and the biological foundations of brain health, mental health, and human performance. With nearly three decades of clinical experience working with conditions such as ADHD, autism, anxiety, depression, and complex neurodevelopmental challenges, her work focuses on helping practitioners and audiences understand why conventional protocols often fail and how to think in systems rather than isolated interventions. She is a founding faculty member of Peptide University, where she teaches clinicians worldwide how to apply advanced therapies through the lens of mitochondrial physiology, signaling, and clinical sequencing. Her approach integrates bioenergetics, trauma physiology, and metabolic health to create a more precise and effective model for restoring energy, cognitive function, and emotional resilience. Dr. Rimka is also the author of Receive: The Dance of Feminine Power, and the creator of multiple educational programs exploring the intersection of biology, identity, and human potential. Her work challenges reductionist approaches to health and emphasizes the importance of sequence, structure, and system-wide coherence, particularly in the treatment of chronic mental health and neurodevelopmental conditions.

This week we're bringing Jason Earle, founder and CEO of GotMold?, back on our podcast to uncover the hidden health impacts of mold exposure. After discovering that mold in his childhood home was the root cause of his severe allergies and asthma, Jason left a successful Wall Street career to help families identify and solve indoor air quality problems. He explains why using bleach on mold can actually make the problem worse and why the key is removing mold, not just trying to kill it.

The conversation explores how stress, electrolyte imbalances, and heavy metal exposure quietly drain resilience, making proper detoxification and mineral balance essential. Dr. Cabral also shares practical guidance on magnesium, zinc, copper, iron, and adrenal support, tailoring advice for high performers under constant pressure. We also dive into our personal HTMA results so you can get a front row seat on what a typical HTMA consultation looks like. Throughout the episode, he underscores that optimal health isn’t just about supplements and protocols, but also mindset—building “stress calluses” and taking a truly holistic, systems-based approach. Dr. Stephen Cabral is a Board-Certified Doctor of Naturopathy and founder of EquiLife, the global integrative health organization providing at-home lab testing, personalized wellness protocols, and concierge health coaching to over 300,000 clients over the past 25 years.

In this episode, we sit down with Sarah Kennedy, Founder and CEO of Calocurb, to explore a radically different approach to appetite control rooted in real science, not willpower. With decades of leadership in nutrition and food science, Sarah breaks down how GLP-1s work, the downsides of chronic calorie restriction, and the key differences between synthetic drugs like semaglutide and natural GLP-1 stimulation. We dive into the history of bitters, digestion, and how Calocurb’s patented ingredient Amarasate® supports appetite regulation through the gut–brain axis. Sarah also shares compelling clinical trial results, insights on coming off GLP-1 drugs, and why under-eating—especially for women—can backfire hormonally. It’s a nuanced, empowering conversation about working with your biology to feel satisfied, nourished, and in control. Founder and CEO of Calocurb, Sarah Kennedy shepherded years of scientific research and clinical trials to bring a revolutionary product to market.

| Peptides: Magic or Hype? Why Everyone Is Talking About Peptide Therapy & The Benefits to Your Health with The Biohacker Babes | 02 Feb 2026 | 01:02:49 | |
Peptides are having a moment, but they’re not new or foreign to the body. In this episode, we break down what peptides actually are, how they differ from hormones, bioregulators, and supplements, and why they’re better understood as precision signaling tools rather than drugs. We also explain how peptides work using a simple lock-and-key model, how they’re manufactured, and why sourcing, purity, dosing, and delivery method matter for both safety and results. We dive into where peptides fit in today’s wellness landscape, including how they compare to GLP-1 drugs like Ozempic, and walk through some of the most talked-about peptides, including BPC-157, Thymosin Alpha-1, Epitalon, MOTS-C, DSIP, and PT-141. From muscle building and fat loss to brain health, sleep, immune resilience, and skin and hair health, we explore real benefits through a physiology-first lens. We also cover who peptides may be helpful for, who should avoid them, and why foundational health like minerals, gut function, nervous system regulation, and metabolic health must be in place before layering peptides in.

The conversation takes a bold turn as she exposes the real issues with modern sunscreen, explores vitamin D–rich foods in cold climates, and explains the deep connection between sunlight, bone health, and strong teeth. We also discuss tanning beds, the melanotan peptide, melatonin as a form of internal sun protection, and what our skin was truly designed to do.

| Why Seed Oils Have Entered the Chat with Steven Rofrano l Breaking Down the Most Controversial Ingredient in Modern Snacks | 19 Jan 2026 | 00:59:26 | |
In this episode, we sit down with Steven Rofrano, founder of MASA Chips and Vandy Chips, to unpack why seed oils are so controversial and how “science” is often used as marketing. We explore the differences between seed oils and vegetable oils, the ways oils are extracted from nature, and how saturated versus unsaturated fats affect metabolism, mitochondria, and oxidative stress. Steven explains the role of linoleic acid, body temperature, calorie burning, and why eating in alignment with your climate may matter more than we’ve been taught. We also discuss whether seed oils need to be avoided entirely, their long half-life in the body, and practical strategies for reducing exposure in everyday life. The conversation wraps with a reimagined food pyramid, cooking methods that impact health, and how MASA and Vandy Chips are setting a new standard for cleaner, more satiating snack foods. Steven Rofrano grew up in New Jersey in an Italian-American family that instilled a deep respect for food quality and old-world traditions. Steven struggled with chronic health issues growing up, until he discovered that eliminating seed oils and processed foods made him feel truly healthy for the first time. Fueled by years of obsessive research, Steven became convinced that classic American foods can be both healthy and delicious—if made without toxic ingredients. Determined to prove this, he quit his big tech software job in 2022 to launch Ancient Crunch, starting with MASA Chips, the first nixtamalized tortilla chips cooked in grass-fed beef tallow. Next came Vandy Crisps, tallow-cooked potato chips that restore the 'Great American Snack' to its original seed oil-free glory. Today, Steven remains on a mission to rebuild America’s pantry with real, nourishing ingredients—and, of course, to spread a little anti-seed oil “propaganda” along the way.

| The Truth About Mammograms: Rethinking Breast Cancer Screenings with Dr. Jenn Simmons | 05 Jan 2026 | 01:13:33 | |
Dr. Jenn Simmons joins the Biohacker Babes for a powerful and deeply personal conversation about her shift from conventional oncology to functional medicine after witnessing the impact of breast cancer in her own family. She pulls back the curtain on the limitations of traditional cancer care — especially the overreliance on mammograms — and explains why true prevention begins with metabolic health, lifestyle choices, informed patient advocacy, and other options for testing. Dr. Jenn challenges the profit-driven structure of the healthcare system and empowers listeners to question standard protocols, explore more predictive screening options like the Auria test, and reclaim responsibility for their wellbeing. This episode is a bold call to action for anyone ready to move beyond fear-based medicine and step into proactive, root-cause healing.
