The BeingBrigid Podcast is a candid, empowering, and deeply practical show for women in their mid-30s to 60s who are done with surface-level health advice. Hosted by Functional Medicine Dietitian Brigid Titgemeier, this podcast provides the missing piece in most women’s health conversations: context, clarity, and compassion.
If you're struggling with energy crashes, hormonal changes, weight gain, chronic inflammation, or thyroid dysfunction, this show meets you where you are—with science-backed strategies that actually work, without the fads, fluff, or fearmongering. Brigid takes complex topics like blood sugar, muscle loss, perimenopause, and gut health and breaks them down into actionable guidance that fits your life.
After a decade of helping thousands of women transform their health, Brigid uncovers what truly works, pulling back the curtain on the real, personalized solutions that make a difference. Conventional care isn’t broken, but it doesn’t offer the time, depth, or personalization most women need. The BeingBrigid Podcast bridges that gap with grounded expertise and conversations that respect your lived experience.
What you’ll hear:
- Deep dives into metabolic health, cravings, mental clarity, and perimenopause
- Real client transformation stories
- Expert interviews with leaders in functional medicine, women's health, and mindset
If you're asking the following questions, you're in the right place:
- How can I balance my hormones and manage perimenopause naturally?
- What strategies can help me manage chronic inflammation and boost my energy?
- How do I stabilize my blood sugar and avoid cravings?
- How do I avoid diet burnout and stay consistent with my health journey?
- Can functional medicine help with thyroid dysfunction or Hashimoto’s?
- What’s the best way to eat for sustainable weight loss and longevity?
- How do I heal my gut naturally and support my digestion?
This is the podcast for when you’re ready to take control of your health, understand your body more deeply, and take action to feel truly supported on your journey.

What if you didn’t have to do it all to start changing your health? When Kathy Hawkins first joined the Blood Sugar Reset, her kitchen was literally down to the studs. She was exhausted, struggling with sleep, experiencing inflammation, hair loss, brain fog, and other health challenges—and she felt completely overwhelmed by the idea of changing her nutrition.
So she did about 30% of the plan. And then she kept going.
Now, after participating in 11 rounds of the Blood Sugar Reset, Kathy joins Brigid to talk about what she’s learned about blood sugar balance, consistency, nutrition accountability, community, and creating a healthier lifestyle without falling into the all-or-nothing trap.
Her story is a powerful reminder that your health journey doesn’t have to be perfect to be meaningful. Sometimes, the most important thing you can do is simply start with one thing—and keep coming back to it.
