| Episode 16: Biohacking for Women Over 40: Blood Sugar, Sleep, Hormones, CGMs, HRV & Simple Health Optimization with Renee Belz | 22 Jul 2025 | 00:39:38 | |
What if optimizing your health didn’t require extreme diets or complicated routines — but instead a few strategic habits backed by science? In this episode of Inspired Wellness, Michelle and Tabitha sit down with Renee Belz, holistic nutrition consultant and co-host of the Biohacker Babes Podcast, to explore how women can use simple biohacking strategies to improve energy, sleep, metabolic health, and hormone balance — especially in midlife. Biohacking can sound intimidating, but as Renee explains, many of the most powerful strategies are actually simple, low-cost habits rooted in ancestral health practices. Think sunlight, sleep optimization, blood sugar balance, and nervous system regulation. Whether you're navigating perimenopause, struggling with fatigue, or simply curious about optimizing your health, this episode breaks down practical tools you can start using right away. As Renee shares, biohacking is ultimately about taking ownership of your health and experimenting with what works best for your body. What You'll Learn in This Episode✔ What biohacking actually means (and why it’s not just expensive gadgets) ✔ Why women in their 40s and beyond benefit especially from personalized health tracking ✔ How wearables like Oura Ring, Whoop, and HRV tracking can reveal powerful insights about your health ✔ The surprising connection between sleep quality and blood sugar control ✔ Why a simple 10–15 minute walk after meals can dramatically improve glucose levels ✔ How continuous glucose monitors (CGMs) can reveal hidden metabolic issues ✔ The importance of heart rate variability (HRV) and what it tells you about stress and resilience ✔ Why circadian rhythm and light exposure are critical for sleep and hormone health ✔ Simple biohacks to support mood, hormones, and nervous system balance ✔ Why stress management becomes even more important as women move into perimenopause and menopause Simple Biohacks Renee RecommendsSome of the most effective strategies discussed include: • Walking after meals to support blood sugar regulation • Tracking sleep and HRV to understand recovery and stress • Using wearables like Oura Ring or Whoop to identify health patterns • Getting morning sunlight to support circadian rhythm • Reducing nighttime blue light exposure • Optimizing sleep environment (dark, cool, quiet) • Paying attention to trends in health data instead of obsessing over daily metrics Why Biohacking Matters for Women in MidlifeMany health studies historically focused on men, leaving women to figure out how lifestyle interventions affect their unique hormonal cycles. Because hormones fluctuate throughout the menstrual cycle — and again during perimenopause — women often need a more personalized and adaptive approach to health optimization. Biohacking offers a framework for experimenting with different tools and habits to discover what works best for your body.

Have you ever been told your hormones are “normal” — but you know something feels off?

This conversation is grounding, validating, and deeply practical — especially for women who are tired of being told everything is normal when their body says otherwise.

Intermittent fasting is one of the most talked-about — and misunderstood — wellness tools for women. Some call it a miracle. Others say it’s dangerous, restrictive, or terrible for hormones. So what’s the truth? In this episode of the Inspired Wellness Podcast, Michelle White (Certified Nutritional Therapy Practitioner) shares a balanced, science-based, and deeply personal look at intermittent fasting — what it is, what it isn’t, and why it has been one of the most sustainable tools in her own health journey for over four years.

Do you crash in the afternoon, crave sugar late in the day, struggle with stubborn belly fat, or feel foggy and irritable — even though you’re “doing all the right things”? These aren’t random symptoms. They’re often early signs of blood sugar imbalance — and for women in perimenopause and menopause, this can quietly drive weight gain, fatigue, inflammation, and long-term disease risk years before labs flag a problem. In this episode of the Inspired Wellness Podcast, Michelle White (Certified Nutritional Therapy Practitioner) and co-host Tabitha Kane break down blood sugar regulation in plain English — what it actually means, why it becomes more challenging in midlife, and the simple, practical steps you can take now to get off the blood sugar roller coaster.

| Episode 31: Quick Hits: The Silent Cost of Noise: How to Reset Your Nervous System | 04 Nov 2025 | 00:30:51 | |
Have you ever noticed that when you feel moody, irritable, or just… off, it’s not always because of your hormones, your sleep, or what you ate? Sometimes, it’s simply because there’s too much noise. In this episode of Inspired Wellness, Michelle and Tab unpack the hidden cost of noise—how the constant bombardment of sounds, information, and inner chatter overwhelms our nervous systems, especially during perimenopause and menopause. And more importantly, why silence—something so simple—can be one of the most healing tools we have. From the rising flood of information we take in daily (hundreds of “newspapers’ worth” compared to our mothers’ generation), to the three main types of noise we face, Michelle shares both the science and the strategies behind finding calm in a noisy world. What You’ll Learn in This Episode
Key Takeaway Silence doesn’t have to mean hours of meditation or escaping to a cabin in the woods. It can be as simple as five intentional minutes in the car, a moment in the shower, or pausing before you answer a text. And because this episode is shorter than usual, Michelle invites you to give it a try right now. Instead of pressing play on your next podcast, take those few extra minutes to give your mind and nervous system the quiet they desperately need.

And it’s not a lack of willpower. In this episode of the Inspired Wellness Podcast, Michelle White (Certified Nutritional Therapy Practitioner) and co-host Tabitha Kane break down the five most common ways women unintentionally sabotage weight loss in their 40s and beyond — and why many of the strategies that worked in your 20s and 30s now work against your body.

If you’ve been stuck on the weight-loss hamster wheel, this episode will give you clarity, reassurance, and practical steps to stop fighting your body and start working with it. ✨ Your 40s don’t have to mean slowing down or settling — with the right approach, they can be your strongest, healthiest years yet. 📩 Questions or topic requests?

| Episode 36: Pelvic Floor Changes in Perimenopause: What’s Normal, What’s Not & What You Can Do | 09 Dec 2025 | 00:43:55 | |
Pelvic health is one of the most important — and most misunderstood — aspects of women’s wellness. Whether you’ve experienced pelvic organ prolapse, pain with intercourse, bladder urgency, or mysterious pelvic discomfort, you are far from alone. And if you’re in perimenopause or menopause, hormonal shifts can make these symptoms even more noticeable. In this episode, Michelle sits down with Dr. Stefanie Long, pelvic floor physical therapist and founder of Concept Pelvic Health in Keller, Texas, for a deeply informative, judgment-free conversation about what’s really going on in your pelvic floor. Together, they break down: • What prolapse actually is — and common myths women should stop believing • The difference between interstitial cystitis and recurrent UTIs • How stress, posture, clenching, rushing, and multitasking impact pelvic and nervous system function • How declining estrogen affects tissue integrity, lubrication, and bladder/bowel symptoms • Practical strategies that can support healing • Why pelvic health care should be preventative and empowering — not scary or shame-based If you’ve ever wondered whether your symptoms are “normal,” or you’re looking for gentle, actionable steps to support your pelvic health at any age, this episode is for you.

| Episode 35: Nervous System Regulation in Perimenopause | How Chiropractic Care Can Help Stress, Hormones, Sleep & Anxiety | 02 Dec 2025 | 00:39:09 | |
Do you feel wired but exhausted, stressed but unable to relax, or like your body is constantly stuck in “fight-or-flight”? For many women in their 40s and 50s, this isn’t just stress — it’s nervous system dysregulation, and it can affect everything from hormones and sleep to digestion, mood, and energy. In this episode of Inspired Wellness, Michelle and Tabitha sit down with Dr. Kelsey Brown, founder of The Vine Family Chiropractic in Grapevine, Texas, to explore the powerful connection between the nervous system, stress, and whole-body health. Dr. Brown explains why chiropractic care is about far more than “cracking backs.” Instead, it’s a way to support the communication pathways between the brain and body, helping women shift out of chronic stress mode and back into the rest-and-digest state where healing happens. If you’re navigating perimenopause, burnout, anxiety, poor sleep, or constant overwhelm, this conversation will help you understand how the nervous system plays a foundational role in midlife health. You’ll walk away with practical insights and simple daily shifts that can help regulate stress and support your body naturally. What You’ll Learn in This Episode• What the nervous system actually does and why it controls so many body functions • The difference between fight-or-flight vs rest-and-digest • Why so many women in perimenopause feel wired, tired, anxious, and overwhelmed • How chronic stress impacts hormones, digestion, sleep, mood, and energy • Why chiropractic care is really about nervous system regulation, not just back pain • Common symptoms of nervous system dysregulation in midlife • How chiropractic adjustments can support stress recovery and hormone balance • Simple lifestyle habits that help regulate the nervous system • Why morning sunlight, movement, and evening routines matter more than you think • The surprising connection between spinal alignment and organ function • Signs your body may benefit from nervous-system-focused care Key TakeawayYour body is designed to heal — but it can’t do that when it’s stuck in chronic stress mode. Supporting the nervous system is one of the most powerful (and often overlooked) ways to improve energy, mood, sleep, digestion, and hormone health in midlife. As Dr. Brown explains, small, consistent shifts can help your body move out of survival mode and back into balance.

| Episode 49: EFT Tapping, Hypnotherapy & Nervous System Regulation for Women in Midlife | Why You Feel Overwhelmed | 10 Mar 2026 | 00:46:19 | |
If you’ve been feeling scattered, overwhelmed, anxious, or emotionally reactive in midlife, you’re not imagining it — and it may not just be stress.
Many women reach a stage where years of pressure, responsibility, and constant productivity begin to overload the nervous system, leading to symptoms like brain fog, emotional swings, burnout, and difficulty focusing.
In this episode of the Inspired Wellness Podcast, Michelle sits down with EFT Master Practitioner and Certified Hypnotherapist Teresa Lear Levine, founder of Becoming More Me, to explore how nervous system dysregulation impacts women in midlife — and how tools like EFT tapping and hypnotherapy can help reset your brain and body.
Teresa shares how subconscious patterns, chronic stress, and hormone shifts can amplify symptoms that often look like ADHD, anxiety, or burnout, especially during perimenopause and midlife transitions. She explains why many high-achieving women have been running on stress for decades — and why their bodies eventually start pushing back.
This conversation dives into how nervous system healing and subconscious work can help women reconnect with themselves, regulate stress responses, and move through midlife with more clarity, calm, and confidence.
You’ll also learn how EFT tapping (Emotional Freedom Technique) works by stimulating meridian points while addressing emotional triggers, helping lower stress hormones and calm the fight-or-flight response.
And we explore how hypnotherapy accesses the subconscious mind, helping rewire patterns that drive overwhelm, self-sabotage, and emotional dysregulation.
If you’ve ever wondered why midlife suddenly feels harder — or why your brain and emotions feel different than they used to — this episode connects the dots.
In This Episode We Discuss • Why women in midlife often feel scattered, overwhelmed, or emotionally reactive • The connection between nervous system dysregulation and chronic stress • Why symptoms of ADHD, anxiety, and burnout often increase during perimenopause • What EFT tapping (Emotional Freedom Technique) is and how it lowers stress hormones • How tapping can calm the fight-or-flight response in the brain • What hypnotherapy actually looks like in practice • How subconscious patterns influence behavior, emotions, and habits • Why many high-achieving women struggle with follow-through and overwhelm • Practical tools for regulating your nervous system and improving emotional resilience

If you’ve been feeling stuck, exhausted, or questioning what comes next in life, this episode will help you see midlife through a completely new lens.
In This Episode We Discuss • Why midlife is often called a “second adulthood” for women • How hormonal changes affect the brain, stress response, and identity • Why so many women feel disconnected from themselves in midlife • The hidden damage of self-criticism and perfectionism • How practicing self-compassion improves body image and mental health • Why dieting harder and exercising more often backfires during midlife • What human design is and how it helps women understand their purpose • The concept of midlife as a breakthrough rather than a breakdown • Why this stage of life can unlock deeper meaning, confidence, and joy
