| Want a Healthy Brain at 80? Here’s What to Do in Your 20s, 30s & 40s With Barbie Boules, RD | 28 Sep 2026 | 01:16:32 | |
What should you be doing in your 20s, 30s and 40s if you want a healthy brain at 80? This week, we’re joined by registered dietitian and cognitive health expert Barbie Boules to talk about what we actually know about protecting our brains as we age and why brain health deserves our attention long before we start worrying about dementia. Barbie has been a registered dietitian for over 25 years, and her work has become increasingly focused on women’s health, healthy aging and cognitive health. After her mom was diagnosed with Alzheimer’s disease, the conversation around dementia prevention and protecting cognitive function also became deeply personal for her. We talk about the connection between cardiovascular health and brain health, including cholesterol, ApoB, Lp(a), blood pressure, insulin resistance and body composition, and why many of the things we do to protect our hearts may also matter for our brains. We also get into brain fog and normal forgetfulness, social media and our shrinking attention spans, multitasking, AI and whether outsourcing our thinking could have consequences for cognitive health. Then, of course, we talk nutrition: the MIND diet, berries, leafy greens, whole grains, fatty fish, coffee, alcohol, creatine and supplements. Plus, Barbie breaks down what we actually know about menopause and cognition, including the viral claim that your brain starts to “eat itself” when estrogen declines. In this episode, we cover: • How early brain health and cognitive decline should be on our radar If you’ve ever wondered how to keep your brain healthy as you age, whether brain fog is something to worry about, or what actually matters for reducing your risk of cognitive decline, this episode is for you.

| From Side Hustle to Six-Figure Business with Dainty Diamond Founder Jess Fried | 21 Sep 2026 | 00:49:26 | |
What does it really take to leave the security of a 9-5 and bet on your own idea? We sit down with Jess Fried, founder of the Toronto based jewelry company Dainty Diamond, to unpack how a side hustle that began through Instagram DMs grew into a six-figure jewelry business within her first year. Jess gets honest about the less glamorous side of entrepreneurship-from navigating imposter syndrome to reinvesting most of what the business made, missing social events and learning to trust her own decisions. We also talk about some of the most controversial aspects of the diamond and jewelry business where Jess breaks down the difference between the different types of gold jewelry and what to look out for, whether luxury pieces are actually worth their price tags; lab-grown versus natural diamonds; engagement-ring budgets; and what really determines a diamond’s quality. Whether you’re building a business, dreaming about leaving your job or trying to avoid overpaying for your next piece of jewelry, this episode is a must listen!

| Why Weight Loss Feels Harder With PCOS/PMOS, And What Actually Works With Dr. Nastasia Irons, ND | 14 Sep 2026 | 01:02:29 | |
If you have PCOS/PMOS and feel like weight loss is harder for you than it seems to be for everyone else, this episode is for you. Dr. Nastasia Irons is back on Girls Gone Wellness for a second time, and after her first episode on body recomposition became one of our most listened-to episodes, we knew we had to bring her back. This time, we’re talking all about PCOS/PMOS and weight management, including why weight loss really can feel more difficult, what role insulin resistance and inflammation play, and why simply telling women to “eat less and move more” misses a huge part of the picture. We also break down some of the biggest myths and questions we see online, including:
We also talk about why PCOS has been renamed PMOS, polyendocrine metabolic ovarian syndrome, and why this new name better reflects the fact that this condition affects far more than reproductive health alone. If you’ve ever felt confused, discouraged, or overwhelmed by all the conflicting advice around PCOS/PMOS, weight loss, carbs, exercise, insulin resistance and supplements, this episode will help you understand what actually matters. And if you haven’t listened to Dr. Irons’ first episode with us on body recomposition, make sure to go back and listen to that one next. Connect with Dr. Nastasia Irons: Enjoy the episode!

| Why Your Old Weight Loss Tricks Stop Working in Perimenopause with Dr. Jennifer Haessler, ND | 08 Sep 2026 | 01:09:38 | |
If you’re in your 40s or 50s and suddenly feel like your body is playing by a completely different set of rules… this episode is for you. This week we’re joined by naturopathic doctor Dr. Jennifer Haessler for a conversation all about perimenopause, menopause, metabolism, muscle, body composition and what women actually need during midlife. We talk about why your weight and fat distribution can start to change even if you feel like you haven’t changed anything, what’s happening to estrogen and progesterone during perimenopause, and how those hormonal shifts can affect everything from sleep and mood to insulin sensitivity, cholesterol, bone density, cognition and muscle mass. We also get into one of the biggest mistakes women make when their body starts changing: eating less and exercising more. Dr. Haessler explains why aggressive calorie cutting can backfire, why strength training becomes one of the most important tools in midlife, how much you actually need to be doing, and why cardio still absolutely matters. We also cover protein, fibre, carbs, breakfast, progressive overload, supplements, hormone replacement therapy, and when tools like GLP-1 medications may have a role. Most importantly, this episode is a reminder that midlife does not have to mean decline. Your body may be changing, but that doesn’t mean your best years are behind you. You can get stronger.

| A Hot Take on Weight Loss: The Body You Want Vs. The Life You Want With Jordan Lips | 31 Aug 2026 | 00:52:00 | |
What if your fitness goal isn’t impossible, it just costs more than you realized? We’re not talking about money, We’re talking about the time, effort, flexibility, social sacrifices, and mental energy that can come with trying to achieve and maintain a certain body. Social media shows us the result, but it rarely shows us what that result actually requires and costs to maintain, that most of the time, is unrealistic and not worth the mental energy and capacity needed. We are joined by nutrition and fitness coach Jordan Lips for an honest conversation about setting realistic expectations without dismissing the results you want. Jordan explains why being healthy, strong, and functionally fit is not necessarily the same goal as being extremely lean and why those goals can demand very different levels of effort. We talk about the trade-offs hiding behind the bodies we’re taught to want, why building muscle often takes longer than people expect, and how to create a plan that fits your actual life and mental capacity. We also get into calorie tracking, food noise, volume eating, all-or-nothing thinking, and why the best weight-loss strategy isn’t simply one you can survive -it’s one that prepares you for the life you’ll need to live to maintain the result.

| The Truth About Your Metabolism: Weight Loss, Muscle, Hormones & Food Noise With Dr. Andrea Gri | 24 Aug 2026 | 00:55:12 | |
What does a healthy metabolism actually look like, and why does weight loss feel so much harder for some people than others? This week, we’re joined by returning guest Dr. Andrea Gri, ND, a naturopathic doctor and Menopause Society Certified Practitioner who focuses on women’s metabolic health, body composition, and healthy aging. Vic also has the pleasure of working alongside Andrea at Clarity Health, so this conversation brings together both clinical insight and the questions we hear from women all the time. We’re breaking down the difference between weight loss and body recomposition, why muscle matters so much for your metabolism, how hormones, sleep, stress, insulin resistance, and genetics can influence your results, and why the number on the scale often tells you far less than you think. We also get into food noise and appetite, GLP-1 medications, whether everyone needs to track calories, why aggressive dieting can backfire, and what sustainable weight management actually looks like when you stop chasing quick fixes and start building a strategy that works for your body. If you’ve ever felt like you’re doing everything “right” but your body still isn’t responding the way you expected, this episode will help you zoom out, understand the bigger picture, and rethink what progress can actually look like.

| Everything Women Need To Know About Their Bloodwork with Dr. Kaitlin Janes, ND | 17 Aug 2026 | 01:34:23 | |
Ever opened your bloodwork results and thought, “Okay thats great.. but I don’t even know what that means? We both definitely have. Naturopathic doctor Dr. Kaitlin Janes joins us to decode the routine labs that can reveal a lot about your health-without the fearmongering, going on a Dr. Google spiral, or unnecessary fancy testing. We break down the basics, including CBCs, ferritin and iron deficiency, blood sugar and insulin resistance, cholesterol, liver enzymes, thyroid markers, kidney function, B12, and vitamin D. Dr. Janes explains why “within range” doesn’t always tell the whole story, when an abnormal result may actually be concerning, and why your symptoms, health history, and lab trends matter just as much as a single number. Plus, we get into how often you really need bloodwork, why more testing isn’t always better, and how to advocate for yourself without treating your healthcare provider like the enemy.

| Are You Insulin Resistant? The Signs, Tests & Hacks That Actually Work With Dr. Adrian Chavez, PhD | 10 Aug 2026 | 01:16:25 | |
Blood sugar is everywhere right now. Glucose spikes, continuous glucose monitors, apple cider vinegar before meals, walking after meals, berberine, cutting carbs… but how much of this actually matters? In this episode, we’re joined by Dr. Adrian Chavez, who has a PhD focused on insulin resistance and metabolic health, to break down what you actually need to know about blood sugar. We talk about what insulin resistance really is, why it can develop years before diabetes, whether fasting insulin and HOMA-IR are worth testing, what a normal blood sugar response after eating should look like, and whether healthy people actually need to worry about glucose spikes. We also get into CGMs, berberine, apple cider vinegar, post-meal walks, calorie intake, body fat, strength training, cardio, fibre, protein, and the lifestyle changes that actually make the biggest difference for metabolic health. Plus, we zoom out into a much bigger conversation about the wellness industry, health optimization, and why so many people are spending enormous amounts of time and money worrying about tiny details while overlooking the habits that have the strongest evidence behind them. If you’ve ever wondered whether you’re insulin resistant, what blood work actually matters, or what you should be doing to protect your metabolic health long term, this episode will give you a much clearer place to start.

| Cycle Syncing, Fasted Workouts & Fitness Myths Women Are Still Falling For with Dr. Lauren Colenso-Semple, PhD | 03 Aug 2026 | 01:05:48 | |
The fitness industry has made women’s health feel unnecessarily complicated. We’re told to cycle-sync our workouts, avoid training fasted, wear weighted vests, track every body-composition metric and constantly adjust our routines based on hormones, cortisol and the latest wellness trend. In this episode, Dr. Lauren Colenso-Semple, PhD, joins us to separate fitness fact from social media fiction. We break down whether women actually need to train differently than men, what cycle syncing gets wrong, whether walking counts as exercise, and what strength training and cardio should realistically look like. We also get into creatine, protein needs in midlife, HRT and muscle loss, body recomposition, DEXA scans, smart scales, grip strength, weighted vests, fasted workouts and the growing and concerning-world of unregulated wellness peptides.

| Midlife Is Not the Time to Start Another Diet | Intuitive Eating with Dr. Jenn Huber (AKA: The Menopause Nutritionist) | 27 Jul 2026 | 01:04:56 | |
For so many women, midlife becomes the moment they feel like they need to control their bodies more. Eat less. Cut carbs. Increase protein. Start fasting. Fix your cortisol. Track everything. But what if perimenopause and menopause are not the time to start another diet? In this episode, we’re joined by Dr. Jenn Salib Huber, a naturopathic doctor, registered dietitian, menopause nutritionist, and author of Eat to Thrive During Menopause, for a refreshing conversation about intuitive eating through midlife. We talk about why perimenopause can create a second wave of body dissatisfaction, how years of dieting can disconnect women from their hunger and fullness cues, and what it actually means to rebuild trust with your body. Dr. Jenn breaks down the difference between eating whatever you want and true intuitive eating, why satisfaction is such an important part of nutrition, and how restriction can fuel the exact overeating patterns women are trying to avoid. We also get into the biggest midlife nutrition conversations happening online, including metabolism changes, protein, carbohydrates, soy, dairy, creatine, calcium, intermittent fasting, “cortisol belly,” and whether women really need to completely overhaul the way they eat during perimenopause and menopause. This episode is not about ignoring nutrition or giving up on your health. It is about learning how to nourish yourself without spending the next several decades tracking, restricting, and constantly feeling like your body is a problem that needs to be fixed.

| Your Growth Is Making Some People Uncomfortable: The Dark Side of Becoming Successful With Renée Warren | 08 Jun 2026 | 01:09:06 | |
What if the problem isn’t that you’re “too ambitious” -it’s that you’re surrounded by people who are uncomfortable watching you grow? In this episode, we’re joined by Renee Warren, founder of The Pink Skirt Project, for a no-BS conversation on confidence, entrepreneurship, relationships, and what it actually takes to build a life that feels aligned. We get into why so many women struggle with self-doubt, why confidence is a skill you build through action, and why “balance” might be the most overrated goal of all.

| Women Should Train More Like Men | Dr. Alyssa Olenick Explains Why | 01 Jun 2026 | 01:08:57 | |
Should women really be training differently than men? If you've spent any time in the wellness space, you've probably heard that women should avoid intense exercise, cycle sync their workouts, be careful not to spike cortisol, and definitely not lift too heavy if they don't want to get "bulky."

Childhood obesity is one of the most important health conversations we are not having enough of, and when we do talk about it, it is often filled with shame, blame, and oversimplified advice.

We talk about why childhood obesity rates have increased, what the “obesogenic environment” actually means, how food access, cost of living, screen time, school schedules, daycare settings, and family stress all play a role, and why this conversation can never just be about willpower or parenting. We also get into BMI, how clinicians should approach weight-related conversations with kids and parents, the risks of weight stigma, and how to support a child’s health without increasing the risk of disordered eating.

| Everything You've Been Told About PCOS Is Wrong with Dr Kate Ferguson, ND | 30 Mar 2026 | 01:01:18 | |
PCOS is one of the most misunderstood conditions in the entire wellness space. You’re told to cut carbs. Then not to cut carbs. Take supplements. But which ones? Balance your hormones, but no one explains what that actually means. The reality is, a lot of what’s being shared online about PCOS is either oversimplified, taken out of context… or just flat-out wrong. Instead of another general PCOS episode, we’re breaking down the biggest myths in this space with someone who’s known for actually challenging what’s being said online and bringing it back to what’s real, what’s evidence-based, and what actually works. We are talking with Dr. Kate Ferguson, a Naturopathic Doctor who has a clinical focus in PCOS and women’s hormonal health who is not afraid to call out the BS all while being able to have compassion for those trying to navigate this space at the same time.

| Our Actual Supplement Routine (Not Clickbait!) with Co-Hosts Jeanette Titus & Victoria Gasparini | 16 Mar 2026 | 01:13:16 | |
The wellness industry is worth four times the pharmaceutical industry, and that includes one of the most confusing parts of the wellness world: supplements. This week, we open up about the supplements we actually take, why we take it, and the supplement myths we are tired of seeing pushed on social media. From colostrum, to sea moss, NAD, to berberine, to why your ND's school got sponsored by supplement companies too, this is the episode your TikTok algorithm doesn't want you to have. Plus: the three questions you need to ask before you buy anything, which trending supplements are a waste of money, and why "third-party tested" matters more than the influencer recommending it and brand marketing it.

There’s a phase of womanhood that no one really names. You’re not a teenager, but you’re not “in menopause.” But you know something feels different. Your cycle isn’t completely gone, but it’s not predictable. You can’t handle things the way you used to be able to. You’re high-functioning, & getting everything done but wondering why half the month feels harder than it should. And instead of answers? You get told it’s stress. Or PMS.

| Girl Math Is Out. Financial Calm Is In with CFO April Stroink | 26 Jan 2026 | 00:58:40 | |
Is girl math keeping us broke? Money stress is one of the biggest sources of anxiety and almost no one talks about it honestly. In this episode of Girls Gone Wellness, we’re joined by April Stroink, a Certified CFO and advisor who works with health and wellness professionals to help them build financial calm, not just chase more money. This is a grounded, non-judgmental conversation about why so many women feel anxious, avoidant, or behind when it comes to money, and how much of that comes down to what we were never taught. We talk about money as both a practical and emotional topic, from generational money stories and “girl math,” to social pressure, debt, and the constant feeling of trying to keep up in a system that feels stacked against us. April breaks down why traditional budgets often fail, how simple systems can reduce financial stress, and what she calls a margin of safety, the difference between a financial crisis and a manageable problem. In this episode, we cover:

Burnout isn’t just being tired — and it’s not a personal failure. In this episode of Girls Gone Wellness, we’re joined by Dr. Emily Bennett, ND to unpack what burnout actually is, why rest and vacations don’t always fix it, and why so many high-achieving, purpose-driven people feel like they’re failing when the system is the real problem. This conversation goes beyond stress management and self-care clichés. We talk about burnout as an occupational and nervous-system issue, how modern work culture and constant availability are quietly impacting health, and why people who care the most about their work are often the most vulnerable.

| There’s No Such Thing as “Good” Cancer: Navigating Life After Thyroid Cancer with Co-Host Vic Gasparini | 12 Jan 2026 | 00:27:56 | |
There is no such thing as “good” cancer. In this solo episode, Victoria dives into a part of thyroid cancer that rarely gets talked about - what happens after treatment ends. While thyroid cancer often has a good prognosis, many patients are left navigating fatigue, hormone changes, TSH suppression, scan anxiety, and long-term health concerns with little guidance or support. Being told you’re “cancer-free” doesn’t always mean you feel okay, and this episode is for anyone who’s felt dismissed in that space. We talk about: This episode isn’t just about cancer, it’s about survivorship, long-term care, and learning how to live in a body that’s been changed. Whether you’ve had thyroid cancer, love someone who has, or have ever been told you should be “fine” when you don’t feel fine... this conversation is for you.

| Why Trying Harder Isn’t Working: Weight Loss & Hormones with Dr. Erin TeWinkel, ND | 05 Jan 2026 | 01:09:05 | |

In this episode, we’re joined by Dr. Erin TeWinkel, ND, to break down weight management in your late 30s, 40s, and beyond, without fear-mongering, blame, or oversimplified advice. We talk about why weight changes in midlife are not a personal failure, what’s really driving shifts in metabolism and fat distribution, and how muscle loss, sleep, stress, and the mental load women carry all intersect with weight and health outcomes. This is a deep, evidence-based conversation that cuts through common myths around hormones, cortisol, fasting, supplements, and menopause, and replaces them with realistic, long-term strategies that actually support health and body composition. In this episode, we cover:

| Endometriosis: The Medical System’s Biggest Blind Spot With Dr. Liza Klassen, ND | 08 Dec 2025 | 01:05:09 | |
Today, we’re diving into one of the most misunderstood, overlooked, and chronically dismissed conditions in women’s health: endometriosis. Endo is a full-body, chronic inflammatory disease that affects 1 in 10 women, yet it takes an average of 7 to 10 years to get diagnosed. Why? Because the system still doesn’t take women’s pain seriously AND most of us were never taught what endometriosis actually looks like. Today we have on Dr. Liza Klassen, a naturopathic doctor in British Columbia who is breaking all this down for us. So in this episode, we discuss the real signs of endo + the ones no one talks about: from GI issues and bladder pain to fatigue, anxiety, depression, and pain with intercourse. We get into why bloodwork won’t catch it, why ultrasounds can still miss it, and why diagnosis can require surgery. We also unpack the truth about estrogen and endo, the myth of “estrogen dominance,” fertility challenges, surgical pros and cons, and what the research actually supports when it comes to treatments like hormonal therapy, supplements, pelvic floor physio, nutrition, exercise, and more. If you’ve ever wondered whether your pain is “normal,” felt dismissed by your provider, or you’ve been searching for answers your whole life… this episode is for you. It’s validating, empowering, and full of the science you should’ve been taught years ago.
