    162: GLP-1 Friendly Foods & Supplements: Why “Nature’s Ozempic” Isn’t What You Think

    11/10/2026 | 15 mins.
    Last week I told you there's no such thing as a GLP-1 meal plan. Turns out, the meal plan was just the start.
    GLP-1 friendly foods. Supplements claiming to support or boost your GLP-1. Nature's Ozempic. The marketing is everywhere right now. In this episode I break down what these claims actually mean, why most of it is just a label, and what you actually need to pay attention to when you're spending your money.

    04/10/2026 | 11 mins.
    You searched for a GLP-1 meal plan. But there's no such thing.
    Not because nutrition doesn't matter, it does. But because a meal plan can't answer the real questions women are having on a GLP-1. In this episode I break down why GLP-1 meal plans are a marketing myth and what actually works instead.

    158: Menopause Supplements: Why You're Throwing Money Away

    13/09/2026 | 28 mins.
    If you're spending $150 to $300 a month on menopause supplements and you're still exhausted, still not sleeping, and still wondering why nothing is working, this episode is for you.
    Most of that money is going down the drain. Not because supplements can't help, but because of how they get bought. One symptom, one bottle, and nobody ever checked whether you needed it. Meanwhile the same symptom can come from a lot of different places, so buying off the symptom alone is guessing.
    In this episode I break down how a supplement list gets that long, what I take and why every single one is on there, and what has to be in place before any of it can work. Plus the client who came to me in full burnout taking exactly one supplement, and what happened when I didn't add any.
    Perfect for women over 40 who are spending real money on supplements and still not feeling better.
