Health And Wellness Trends- The Good, The Bad, and the BS- What’s actually helping you vs. what’s a waste of time04 août 202600:42:17

I’m rating popular health and wellness trends as worth it, not worth it, or somewhere in between—based on the evidence, the cost, and whether they actually move the needle for your health.

In this episode, I share my honest thoughts on fads we find on the internet; intermittent fasting, detoxes, wellness retreats, seed cycling, lymphatic drainage, cold plunges, protein snacks, red light therapy, cycle tracking, and cycle syncing.

Listen in to hear me discuss:

  • 10–14-hour overnight fasting
  • Detoxes and juice cleanses
  • Your body’s natural detoxification pathways
  • Wellness retreats
  • Seed cycling
  • Lymphatic drainage
  • Cold plunges
  • Red light therapy
  • Cycle-tracking devices
  • Wellness trends you can confidently skip
  • +so much more!

How your cycle impacts your relationship, fights, libido and more21 juil. 202600:54:43

In this episode, I explore how understanding your menstrual cycle, hormones, and changing life stages can help you make sense of shifts in libido—and prevent those changes from creating unnecessary conflict in your relationship. Libido is about more than sex drive; it is also connected to energy, vitality, confidence, and feminine energy.

  • The many factors that can influence desire, including stress, sleep, mental and physical health, medications, body image, and relationship quality
  • The difference between spontaneous and responsive desire
  • My “finish line and obstacles” analogy for understanding why desire sometimes feels closer or farther away
  • How the menstrual, follicular, ovulatory, and luteal phases can affect mood, energy, and libido
  • How desire may change during pregnancy, postpartum, breastfeeding, and menopause
  • Why changes in libido should not automatically be taken personally by either partner

Stop Comparing Yourself- The Habit Sabotaging Your Health That You're Not Thinking About07 juil. 202600:56:22

Comparison has become so normal that many of us don't realize the toll it's taking on our health.

I unpack why constantly measuring yourself against other people—especially on social media—can quietly increase stress, rob you of peace, and make it harder to trust yourself.

I also share practical ways to break the comparison cycle so you can focus on your own health journey with confidence.

Listen in to hear me share:

  • Why comparison is a normal human instinct—but social media has taken it to an unhealthy extreme.
  • How comparing yourself in areas like appearance, motherhood, fertility, career, and health habits increases stress and anxiety.
  • The hidden factors—genetics, environment, finances, childcare, support systems, and access to healthcare—that make comparisons unfair.
  • How comparison creates chronic stress, decision fatigue, and causes you to lose confidence in your own intuition.
  • Practical strategies to stop comparing, spend less time scrolling, cultivate gratitude, clarify your personal health values, and focus on progress over perfection.

Why Building Muscle is the key to getting stronger, reducing insulin resistance, losing weight, and supporting longevity26 mai 202600:43:48

I’m sharing why building muscle has become one of the biggest priorities in my health journey—not just for aesthetics, but for hormonal health, metabolism, longevity, confidence, and mental health.

Losing Myself Postpartum and Finding Myself Again + Everything That's Helped06 mai 202600:51:55

In this solo episode, I open up about a deeply raw season of postpartum burnout, feeling disconnected from myself just seven months after giving birth.

What started as resistance to work, movement, and routine quickly intensified when war broke out, bringing daily sirens, disrupted sleep, canceled plans, and a constant sense of survival mode.

Listen in to hear me share:

  • What postpartum burnout actually felt like day-to-day, and how it showed up in my energy, motivation, and identity
  • How living through war impacted my nervous system, routines, and family life in ways I didn’t expect

Feeling Left Behind When Everyone Else Is Pregnant24 févr. 202600:45:30

In this solo episode, I open up about one of the most vulnerable seasons of my life, when I was deep in PCOS flare-ups, facing months of negative pregnancy tests and irregular cycles, and quietly questioning if I would ever become a mom. I share a pivotal moment at a friend’s wedding that completely blindsided me and brought up intense jealousy, shame, and the painful feeling that I was “so far behind,” especially within an Orthodox Jewish community where marriage and babies can feel closely tied to your sense of progress and belonging.

Listen in to hear me share:

  1. What infertility and PCOS flare-ups felt like emotionally and socially in a tight-knit community
  2. The identity and worthiness struggles that surfaced when motherhood felt out of reach
  3. How opening up to the right person helped break the isolation and normalize my triggers
  4. The coping tools that helped me survive that season, including distraction, intentional joy, and feeling proactive through medical and lifestyle changes

Intuitive Eating vs. Fertility Nutrition: Do You Have to Choose?17 févr. 202600:41:56

In today's episode we're going to talk about about a common concern I hear from women before they start focusing on eating for fertility: What if this morphs into unhealthy obsession/disordered eating?

It's a great question and a fair concern. How do we balance the importance of striving for a consistently healthy diet while also maintaining a healthy relationship with food?

In today's episode, we're talking all about intuitive eating, and how it can actually go hand-in-hand with eating for fertility.

Here’s what I break down:

  1. Why so many women are afraid that having nutrition targets will automatically turn into food obsession
  2. What Intuitive Eating actually is, including the 10-principle framework created by dietitians Evelyn Tribole and Elyse Resch for eating disorder recovery, and why it wasn’t specifically designed to regulate cycles, treat PCOS, or improve fertility
  3. Why intuitive eating and fertility nutrition are not opposites, but why nutrition education often needs to come first
  4. How our cravings, “healthy meal” ideas, and food rules are shaped by upbringing and diet culture
  5. Why many gut-health habits, like eating enough fiber or fermented foods, are not naturally intuitive
  6. Why extreme calorie restriction can slow your metabolism and negatively affect ovulation
  7. Why ignoring hunger cues can damage trust with your body
  8. What “making peace with food” really means to me, including letting go of “good” and “bad” food language
  9. How I personally had to learn to honor fullness
  10. Why your hormones respond to consistent patterns over time, not one imperfect meal
  11. Why women with PCOS are at higher risk for eating disorders, and the red flags I want you to watch for, like anxiety around social meals, skipping events, compensatory exercise, or obsessive tracking
  12. The difference between intentional, flexible nourishment and punishing, rule-following eating
  13. How to adjust protein and blood sugar targets when life is hectic without falling into all-or-nothing thinking
  14. And why your nutrition plan should calm your nervous system, not stress you out

How to Detox Before Getting Pregnant- Gentle Ways to Support Your Body's Natural Detox Pathways10 févr. 202600:53:36

In this episode, I address a common and often confusing question many women ask when preparing for pregnancy: do you need to detox first?

I break down the myths around detoxing and reframe the conversation around supporting the body’s natural detox systems rather than relying on extreme or stressful approaches. I wok a lot with women coming off birth control and trying to conceive, offering practical, realistic guidance that feels accessible and grounding.

Listen in to hear me share:

  1. Why “detoxing” before pregnancy is important, but not by doing juice cleanses or other extreme protocols
  2. The key detox systems in the body, including digestion, liver function, lymphatic system, and the kidneys
  3. Simple ways to support natural detoxification through food, hydration, and movement
  4. How reducing everyday environmental toxin exposure can make a meaningful difference
  5. How to detox after coming off of hormonal birth control

Why You Need to Recover Your Period BEFORE Pregnancy with Victoria Myers20 janv. 202600:39:49

Victoria Myers is a registered dietitian and period recovery specialist who has spent over a decade helping women recover from hypothalamic amenorrhea (HA), restore their fertility, and feel at home in their bodies again. She works closely with women who have lost their periods due to chronic under-fueling, over-exercising, and high stress, guiding them toward sustainable healing rather than quick fixes. Victoria holds professional credentials as a registered dietitian and brings deep clinical experience in fertility, hormone health, and disordered-eating recovery.

Listen in to hear Victoria Myers share:

  1. What hypothalamic amenorrhea is, how it develops, and why it is fundamentally different from PCOS
  2. Key red flags and “healthy” habits that may actually be contributing to HA, including over-exercise and restrictive eating
  3. Why jumping straight to IVF or fertility treatments can be risky for women with HA, and what needs to be addressed first
  4. What’s really happening hormonally with estrogen, cortisol, LH, and progesterone during HA
  5. Surprising symptoms of HA, like frequent urination, and why they’re often overlooked
  6. How pregnancy and postpartum can be vulnerable periods for relapse, and what women with HA need to prioritize during those stages
  7. The impact of chronic stress, social media health culture, and misinformation on women struggling with HA
  8. Practical insights into labs, recovery timelines, and rebuilding a healthy relationship with food and movement
  9. so much more

This episode is a must-listen for anyone navigating missing periods, fertility challenges, or the blurred line between “healthy” living and disordered behaviors—and for anyone who wants a clearer understanding of why HA requires a completely different approach than PCOS.

Do I Need To Lose Weight To Get Pregnant? The Connection between weight, fertility, insulin resistance, hormones, GLP1 medications, and more13 janv. 202600:44:45

In this episode, I address one of the most common and frustrating messages women hear when trying to conceive: that you must lose weight in order to get pregnant. I unpack the nuanced relationship between weight, metabolism, and fertility, drawing from research, clinical insight, and my work with clients, with a particular focus on PCOS, insulin resistance, and newer medical tools like GLP-1 medications. My goal is to move this conversation away from shame and oversimplification and toward clarity, empowerment, and true metabolic health.

Listen in to hear me share:

  1. The connection between BMI and fertility outcomes, and why this doesn't tell the whole story
  2. What actually drives fertility challenges, including insulin resistance, chronic inflammation, and stress
  3. How improving diet, lifestyle, movement, and nervous system regulation can support fertility without obsessing over the number on the scale
  4. Why weight loss may happen as a side effect of treating the root cause of your fertility challenges
  5. My thoughts on GLP-1 medications and fertility, including when they may be helpful, their limitations, and why habits still matter
  6. How to reframe fertility support around nourishment, metabolic health, and long-term well-being, and why that shift can be so powerful

When The Birth Plan Flips Upside Down- My Birth Story During A War18 déc. 202501:20:39

I’m back, and I honestly can’t explain how good it feels to be here again.

It’s been six months since I last recorded, and a lot has happened. I’m coming to you now about five months postpartum, and for the first time in a long time, I feel like I have my life, my soul, and my body back after a really difficult pregnancy, an unexpectedly intense birth, and a postpartum season that took real time to recover from.

In this episode (Part 1), I’m sharing my birth story, because I really believe birth stories are sacred. Mine didn’t go the way I planned at all, and I debated whether to share it, because it’s intense. I gave birth in Israel on June 16th, in the middle of a sudden war with Iran, and it was the definition of “everything out of control.” If you’re currently pregnant and feel like this might be too much, it is completely okay to save this for later.

I take you through the final days of pregnancy with SPD, the chaos of lockdown with two toddlers, losing my original doula plan, switching hospitals last minute, and what it was like going into labor while sirens and alerts were going off. I also share what helped me get through it in the moment, and how I’ve been processing it since, including the shift from anger and resentment to finally being able to draw strength from what I survived.

If you’ve ever had a birth or postpartum experience that didn’t go how you expected, I hope this helps you feel less alone.

In this episode, I open up about:

  1. The moment everything changed when we went into war and life shut down
  2. Losing my original birth plan, and what it felt like to adjust in real time
  3. Advocating for what I wanted during labor (and what I had to let go of)
  4. Using hypnobirthing, breath, and visualization to stay grounded when everything felt chaotic
  5. Transition, nausea, pushing, and the moment I met my baby girl
  6. Postpartum in the hospital during sirens, shelters, and being moved ward-to-ward

83. My Pregnancy Journey Pt 208 juin 202501:01:19

As I get ready to take a break for maternity leave, I wanted to record one last episode to reflect on what this pregnancy has really been like behind the scenes.

The second half of pregnancy has brought its fair share of challenges — physically, mentally, and emotionally.

From dealing with pelvic pain and SPD to navigating waves of prenatal anxiety, it’s been a lot. I also talk about what it’s been like trying to balance work, motherhood, and the pressure to stay "relevant" online, all while growing a human.

I’m sharing updates on my maternity leave plans, how I’m setting boundaries for my mental health, and why I felt it was important to share this chapter, even the messy parts.

If you're pregnant now, hoping to be, or just juggling a million things while trying to stay grounded, I hope this episode resonates.

In this episode, I open up about:

  • What it’s really been like dealing with SPD, pelvic pain, and prenatal anxiety
  • How I’m balancing business, family, and the realities of growing a baby
  • Why I’m stepping back from social media
  • Giving myself permission to rest
  • Thoughts on maternity leave in Israel and what I’m hoping for postpartum
  • Letting go of the pressure to “keep up” and embracing the newborn phase with presence
  • + so much more

81. Hypnobirthing- It's Not As Weird As It Sounds- My Birth Plan + How I'm Prepping for Labor20 mai 202501:06:38

In this episode, I’m sharing my personal journey as I prepare for my third childbirth—this time, leaning deeply into the practice of hypnobirthing. I open up about what this experience has been like for me, how I’ve used techniques like deep breathing, visualization, and affirmations to stay calm, and why I believe it’s so important to challenge the way we’ve been taught to think about labor and birth.

I also talk about some of the most common myths around birth—especially the idea that pain and fear are just part of the deal—and offer a different perspective rooted in trust, peace, and choice. Whether you’re planning a home birth or hospital birth, what matters most is creating an environment that supports you physically and emotionally.

In this episode, I share:

  • How I’ve reframed my beliefs about pain, fear, and danger in childbirth
  • The hypnobirthing tools I’ve found most powerful and how I use them
  • What actually happens in the body during labor—and how mindset plays a huge role
  • My thoughts on choosing between home and hospital birth here in Israel
  • What I’ve learned about midwives, post-birth care at the milon, and navigating the birth system
  • How I’m protecting my birth bubble and preparing to welcome this baby with joy
  • What birth costs look like in Israel and how I’ve planned for it
  • +so much more

Whether you’re pregnant, planning to be, or just curious about a different way to approach birth, I hope this episode inspires you to trust your body and your voice in the process.

73. For the Martyrs: How to Prioritize Your Health When You Can't Stop Saying Yes to Everyone Else18 mars 202500:53:20

Lauren dives into a powerful and much-needed conversation about overcoming martyrdom and learning to prioritize your own well-being. Inspired by recurring themes in her coaching sessions, Lauren addresses the harmful pattern of consistently putting everyone else's needs above your own — often at the expense of your physical, emotional, and mental health.

Lauren emphasizes that while generosity and service are beautiful traits, extreme selflessness can lead to burnout, resentment, and serious health consequences. She challenges the misconception that self-care is selfish, and instead reframes it as a vital act of responsibility and sustainability.

Listen in as Lauren shares:

  • How to recognize when your selflessness has crossed into self-neglect
  • Practical tools for setting healthy boundaries without guilt
  • Why delegating tasks and asking for help is a strength, not a weakness
  • A new perspective on redefining “selfishness” as responsibility
  • Personal stories and lessons from working with clients who struggled with martyrdom to find balance
  • + so much more!
