Can We Just Stop the Self Sabotage to Feel Your Best Ever

Can We Just Stop the Self Sabotage to Feel Your Best Ever

If you want to lose weight, get in shape, or keep a relationship, you may know the desire to stop the self sabotage all too well. 

My guest and I talk about her weight loss, coming down from 200 lbs. Not achieving a skinny size 4, but an all important and often missing love for the body and the curves she has. 

If you don’t need to lose weight but aren’t where you want to be in relationships, business or finance, stay tuned to know how to stop the self sabotage.

 

My Guest:

Junie Moon, CEO of Midlife Love Out Loud, a Global Love Mentor, Best-selling Author, Women's Empowerment Leader, and Certified Shadow Work® Coach, has supported thousands of women over the past 30 years to claim their birthright: the freedom to be and love themselves without apology.

Junie is dedicated to guiding women in midlife on a transformative journey towards self-discovery and empowerment. Through heart-centered coaching, she helps her clients cultivate a deep sense of self-love and confidence.

  • [00:14:16] Many women sabotage themselves. Why?
  • [00:27:46] How can we break these painful patterns?

The Real Root of Weight Struggles

  • The cycle of dieting, deprivation, and rebound.
  • Emotional eating in a dysfunctional marriage. You eat food to self-soothe. Shift from "food problem" to self-worth problem.


What is Shadow Work?

  • Personal growth model with special processes that shines a light on the 95% of the unconscious mind that's running in the background.
  • Learn your worthiness, lovability, voice, value, and what matters.

 

How to Really Stop the Self Sabotage and How to Shed It?


What is Self-Sabotage?

  • It's the monster under the bed. It’s something we've picked up along the way that’s something's wrong with us.
  • It’s self-protection. Fear of change and the illusion of safety in discomfort.
  • Subconscious patterns and limiting beliefs from childhood.


Mind-Body Connection & Illness

  • Healing the mind leads to healing the body.
  • The power of releasing suppressed emotions.
  • Small, safe steps — not dramatic overhauls — lead to lasting change.

 

Key Takeaways

  • Weight struggles are often rooted in emotional and psychological wounds, not just food habits.
  • Shadow work helps uncover hidden parts of ourselves shaped by shame and unworthiness.
  • Self-sabotage often stems from fear and a subconscious desire for safety.
  • Our "risk manager" brain will create illness, injury, or limiting beliefs to avoid perceived danger.
  • Healing starts with awareness and self-compassion, not self-blame.
  • True transformation is possible at any age and can lead to finding love, purpose, and peace.

The 3 Tests You Should Do Before Considering BHRT

The 3 Tests You Should Do Before Considering BHRT

If you are considering BHRT, this is for you. Even if you’re currently on BHRT, you’ll learn or confirm something here.

If you’ve got daughters or DIL, in my case, there’s something here for you on that front too. If you’ve wondered why does cholesterol go up for so many women or why do autoimmune numbers increase in midlife? There’s a reason to be considering BHRT, and our guest explains why. 

 

My Guest:

Dr. Shilpa Sayana, MD is a Triple Board Certified in Internal, Obesity Medicine and Functional Medicine. She is recognized by her peers by receiving the “Most Humanistic Intern and Resident” award in all three years of her Internal Medicine Residency and celebrated by her patients by being presented the Best Doctors Women’s Choice Award.

She treats women in perimenopause and menopause, optimising their hormones, energy and weight, especially if they have been previously told that their labs are normal.

 

Questions We Answer in This Episode:

  • [00:07:54] What are natural ways to improve your hormones above 45?
  • [00:14:27] What tests do you recommend to a woman considering hormones?
  • [00:22:30] Do you have a unique opinion on starting both progesterone and estrogen at the same time or layer in one? 
  • [00:26:06] Do you advocate for women taking testosterone and what are the benefits and side effects of using TRT?
  • [00:30:21] Why do autoimmune markers increase in perimenopause and menopause? and what to do about it?
  • [00:32:04] What can help cholesterol and blood sugar levels? 



#1 Longevity Hormone Panel 

Purpose: To get a baseline of all key hormone levels

Includes:

  • Morning cortisol (before 10am)
  • DHEAS (hormone that makes cortisol)
  • TSH (thyroid)
  • Free T4 
  • Autoimmune Reverse 
  • T4 (Hashimoto’s)

  • CRP (C-reactive protein)
  • Ferritin 
  • Genetics
  • Vitamin B12 
  • Vitamin D

 

More Tests to Truly Know If You’re Ready Before Considering BHRT

 

#2 Gut Test

Purpose: To assess inflammation, microbiome health, and how well your body can process and eliminate hormones

 

#3 Toxin/Environmental Load Testing

Purpose: To detect environmental toxins that may be disrupting hormone production or metabolism

 

Track Your Hormones

Functional vs. Conventional medicine’s approach to lab results:

  • Functional Medicine
    • Focuses on what’s optimal, not just normal.
    • Listens to the whole person (hormone networks), not just the labs.
  • Conventional Medicine
    • Labs are often labeled "normal" if they fall within the wide reference range.
    • No action is taken unless results are severely out of range.

Smart Movement for Aging Better with Lara Heimann

Smart Movement for Aging Better with Lara Heimann

If there is a way to enhance movement for aging better - whether we’re already exercising or we’re in need of getting started - we’re in! 

If you’ve ever said or felt, “every time I start to exercise I get hurt,” this is for you.
This episode will also hit you right where you love to exercise. 

We know exercise has a major impact on the brain. It’s a dose of clarity, problem solving, creativity. There’s no lack of science to prove the mind-body-and spirit can no longer be separated. They’re an integrated part of all components of wellness.

Feeling a little stiff? You may feel better by the end. Know the smart movement for aging better!

 

My Guest:

Lara Heimann is an internationally recognized yoga pioneer, Physical Therapist, and founder of the revolutionary LYT Method®—an evidence-based approach to movement that combines the principles of yoga, physical therapy, and functional movement. Lara’s passion lies in empowering people of all ages to move better, live pain-free, and optimize their physical and mental well-being. Her work has reached thousands of students and teachers across more than 50 countries, transforming lives with her innovative blend of movement science and spiritual connection. She holds a BA in Biological Anthropology and Anatomy and an MS in Physical Therapy from Duke University, along with a Neurodevelopmental Training Certification through Stanford University.

 

Questions We Answer in This Episode:

  • [00:28:13] Why is moving well so important for aging? 
  • [00:30:28] What are common misconceptions people have about aging and exercise? 
  • [00:18:44] [00:31:10] What role does neuroplasticity play in aging? 
  • [00:21:28] How can people optimize longevity and vitality?

 

Neuroplasticity & Movement

  • Neuroplasticity is your brain's ability to grow and change
  • Movement “rewires” the brain - you grow your brain from movement.
  • Use developmental movement patterns to re-educate the nervous system. Your brain craves novelty.

 

Your Guide to Movement for Aging Better


The Myth of ‘Aging = Body Decline’

  • Move more with age, not less.
  • Joint mobility and strength are important as we age.
  • Incorporate movement into daily routines (e.g. cleaning your house, climbing stairs).
  • If you look at people who live long and live well, the one common thing is they're active and stay active.
  • If you're in the middle part of your life and you haven't been active, it's never too late.

 

Pain & Movement

  • Inefficient movement creates and sustains pain.
  • Move in a smarter way but don’t stop moving. 

 

Key Takeaways

  • Movement rewires the brain. It’s not just about fitness—movement helps with cognition, mood, and longevity.
  • Neuroplasticity isn’t age-limited. You can retrain your brain and body at any age.
  • Already active? You can get even better. Advanced movers have more potential for growth when incorporating neuro-focused training.
  • Repetition isn’t always progress. Novelty challenges your brain and creates stronger, smarter movement patterns.
  • Pain is information, not a stop sign. Pain (not injuries) often lingers due to patterns. New movement can break that cycle.
  • Aging isn’t a reason to scale back, but a cue to level up.

Don’t Let Autoimmunity in Menopause Hold You Back


What are the different Arthritis Disease?

  • Gout
    • NOT an autoimmune arthritis and NOT wear and tear.
    • It’s an arthritis that’s inflammatory that’s caused by uric acid deposition in the joints.
    • Usually comes out as a single joint (e.g. big toe, knee) and get repeated over time.

    • Overall arching term of different arthritis (e.g. psoriatic arthritis, Crohn’s disease, ulcerative colitis)
    • Usually comes out in fingers, TMJ (temporomandibular joints), elbows, shoulders, knees, feet, ankles.

 

What is the medication for autoimmune disease?

  • Depends on the background, beliefs, and severity of the disease.
  • Some may use medications, others may use alternative medicines, supplements and therapists.

 

What is a Whole Food Plant Based Diet (WFPB)?

  • Helped Dr. Micah with pain remission after 2 months
  • Whole foods include beans, organic tofu, edamame, fruits and vegetables.
  • No highly processed vegan protein, soy protein.
  • Soy is included in WFPB
    • Has phytonutrients
    • Decreases breast cancers
    • Use clean unprocessed soy (e.g. organic tofu, edamame)
    • Does not include processed vegan meat
    • Some people may be sensitive to soy.

 

What are Inflammatory Foods?

  • Ultra-processed foods (e.g. fast food, chips, cookies, cakes, ham, pepperoni).
  • Food with high salt. WHO says that diet must be up to two grams of salt.
  • Seed oils can be inflammatory when used for cooking.

Is Your Liver Preventing Muscle Growth in Menopause?

Is Your Liver Preventing Muscle Growth in Menopause?

To support muscle growth in menopause, you need to understand the critical role of liver health. 

If you’re struggling with muscle loss and fat gain, your liver is an essential player in the game. 

Stick with me as we uncover actionable strategies for boosting liver health and achieving muscle growth in menopause and beyond during this moment in time post pandemic. 

 

My Guest:

Sara Banta is a certified Dietary Supplement Professional, member of the National Association of Nutritional Professionals, and founder of Accelerated Health Products, recognized as the Most Innovative Supplement Company.

Sara pioneers innovative solutions to support holistic well-being. She empowers others to achieve optimal health through supplements, DNA-based nutrition, and lifestyle changes.

 

Questions We Answer in This Episode:

  • [00:10:53] How is the liver related to muscle growth in menopause?
  • [00:20:31] How can certain proteins help you reach fitness goals, while others may actually get in the way?
  • [00:22:53] Why are essential amino acids crucial for supporting muscle building?
  • [00:31:21] How can you take care of your liver to help with muscle gain and fat loss?
  • [00:40:20] What are the side effects of GLP-1?
  • [00:42:50] What are safe alternatives to ozempic?

 

Liver Health's Role in Menopausal Muscle Growth

  • Roles: detox, bile production, hormone regulation, protein metabolism.
  • Chemicals and toxins overload the liver, impairing fat and protein processing.

 

Protein Intake Challenges & Solutions

  • Protein intake alone isn’t enough without liver support.
  • Women need more protein with age, not less - 1g protein per pound of body weight.
  • Wild animal protein, like bison and venison, are most nutrient dense.
  • Warning against mold and hidden toxins in common protein powders.

 

Essential Amino Acid Supplements

  • Key ingredients: HMB, Synactive, OKG, TMG - aimed at absorption and recovery
  • Benefits: prevent muscle breakdown, enhance gut health, better protein absorption.

 

Key Takeaways for Muscle Growth in Menopause:

  • Liver function is foundational for hormone balance, energy, and muscle development during and after menopause.
  • Most women are under-consuming quality protein and not absorbing it effectively due to liver or gut issues.
  • Supplements can be powerful, but they must be clean, effective, and well-formulated—many aren't.
  • Shift your mindset: It's not about shrinking your body but about strengthening it with muscle.
  • Bloat, brain fog, fatigue, and poor recovery may all link back to impaired liver detox and insufficient amino acids.
  • Whole, wild animal proteins are superior due to nutrient density and bioavailability.

Breast Implants and No-Cut Facelifts - the Surgeon with Answers

Do you have breast implants? Have you thought about getting them or do you know others with them? 

The conversation about breast implants' impact on health is a real one for a lot of women.

We get into all the cases:

  • You have implants and feel fine 
  • You have implants and are feeling symptoms you have just chalked up to menopause 

Whether for yourself, or to share with a friend or daughter, this one doesn’t end with breast implants. It only starts there. 

Stay all the way to the end for the no-cut facelift details! 

 

My Guest:

Dr. Robert Whitfield, MD is AMERICA’S BREAST IMPLANT ILLNESS EXPERT™ with over 25 years of experience as a plastic surgeon and more than 16 years board-certified. He specializes in Breast Implant Illness (BII), explant surgery, and advanced cosmetic procedures like his signature “No-Cut” Facelift.

He is also the creator of SHARP (Strategic Holistic Accelerated Recovery Program)—a protocol designed to reduce inflammation and support both pre- and post-surgical healing.

Dr. Whitfield earned his medical degree from the University of Nevada, Las Vegas, followed by surgical training and a plastic surgery residency at Indiana University Medical Center, and a microsurgery fellowship in Nevada. He later taught at the Medical College of Wisconsin before moving to Austin in 2012. He began private practice in 2017.

 

Questions We Answer in This Episode:

  • [00:07:42] What is Breast Implant Illness (BII)?
  • [00:08:01] What are the BII signs and symptoms?
  • [00:08:43] Why does BII occur, and how common is it?
  • [00:15:36] What to do if you suspect you have BII? What tests are available? Is there a holistic approach?
  • [00:22:52] Is it covered by insurance? 
  • [00:22:36] How is BII treated?
  • [00:30:11] What is the No-cut Facelift?

 

What is Breast Implant Illness (BII)?

Chronic inflammatory response to breast implants. Implants are foreign bodies which may cause ~29% chance of bacterial contamination, not mold.

 

What are the Symptoms?

  • Brain fog
  • Fatigue and loss of motivation
  • Gastrointestinal issues (e.g. bloating)
  • Joint pain
  • Hormonal imbalance
  • Thyroid dysfunction

 

What to Do If You Suspect BII?

  • Educate yourself through long-form content and patient stories
  • Consider testing for:
    • Detox capabilities
    • Hormonal panels
    • Gut health and infections
  • Look into explant surgery with comprehensive detox and recovery (e.g. SHARP protocol)

 

The No-Cut Facelift

Designed to lift and rejuvenate without surgery or visible scars

The Procedure:

  • Fiber optics for deep neck tightening
  • FaceTite (radiofrequency tightening beneath the skin)
  • Micro-coring: removes tiny pieces of skin to tighten surface without visible scars

Benefits:

  • Natural results with minimal scarring
  • Boosts collagen production
  • Customizable depending on the patient’s skin, hormones, and detox status

 

Key Takeaways

  • BII is real and often overlooked, frequently mistaken for menopause or autoimmune disorders.
  • Chronic inflammation and bacterial contamination (not mold) are major culprits.
  • A new biomarker test (oxylipin 10-HOME) could soon improve diagnosis.
  • Personal genetics, lifestyle, and environmental exposure significantly influence risk.
  • Explant surgery should be holistic, addressing toxins, hormones, and gut health before and after.
  • No-Cut Facelift, a minimally invasive facial rejuvenation, is a safer, scar-free alternative to traditional facelifts, emphasizing natural results.

My Guest:

Abby Chitty, a single mom with 5 kids between 15 and 24. She owns her own business as a realtor. We met on Instagram and I invited her to be a guest in this unique episode where we’re doing a coaching call and you get to listen over the fence.

 

Questions We Answer in This Episode:

  • [00:05:15] What does perimenopause look like for asymptomatic women over 50? 
  • [00:20:00] What changes do we need to make to our workout routine? 
  • [00:25:00] If asymptomatic, how do we know if we’re moving through the stages and how then do we judge what changes to make?

 

What’s Showing Up for Abby?

  • Gaining 20 lbs slowly post-kids, despite a healthy lifestyle.
  • Feeling frustrated when traditional diet and exercise weren’t effective anymore.
  • Friends telling you might be “doing too much” in terms of fitness.
    • 5 days/week strength training
    • Seasonal long-distance running (up to 30K)
    • Uses YouTube programs with fast-paced, minimal-rest formats
    • Occasional yoga/mobility work
    • Exercises to failure, prefers lifting heavy

 

Time to Flip the Switch with Abby:

  • Overtraining & Recovery
    • Benefit from less frequent but heavier strength sessions
    • Incorporating rest + slower tempo lifting could help. Recovery may be insufficient—without it, muscle building stalls.
  • Running & Cortisol
    • Long runs + strength + possible fasting = cortisol overload.
    • Midlife women are more vulnerable to stress and hormonal shifts.
    • Lower estrogen increases cortisol response, impacting body composition.
  • Sleep & Metabolism
    • Sleep deprivation is linked to stubborn weight and reduced muscle recovery.
      Abby averages 5.5–6.5 hours of sleep, with limited REM/deep sleep.
    • Need more sleep to trigger growth hormone/testosterone release.
  • Supplements
    • Try specific forms (glycinate or L-threonate) and gradually increase the dose.
      Abby uses magnesium oil and a multivitamin with magnesium.
  • Nutrition
    • A little caloric deficit is okay, but eat enough. Not doing it too long creates stress.
    • Reintroduce sweet potatoes. Carbs with high fiber at night will help us sleep better.

 

Key Takeaways to Know Is This Perimenopause?

  • You might be in perimenopause without classic symptoms: Weight gain and sleep disruption can be early signs.
  • More isn’t always better in midlife exercise: Volume should decrease, intensity (with recovery) can rise.
  • Muscle preservation is crucial: It drives metabolism and health outcomes more than weight alone.
  • Sleep matters just as much as workouts: It affects hormonal balance, recovery, and fat loss.
  • Cortisol and insulin sensitivity shift in midlife: Long-distance cardio and fasting a tricky combo.
  • Smart scale stats are more telling than BMI: Body composition paints a clearer health picture.
  • Personalized magnesium dosing: May improve sleep and aid recovery in midlife.

Energy Crashes & Stubborn Belly Fat After 40 (and what to do about it)

Energy Crashes & Stubborn Belly Fat After 40 (and what to do about it)

Dealing with stubborn belly fat after 40 is reality for many women. It may happen in your 40s, 50’s, 60s or even 70s. And no one… not even an 87 yo likes it. 

My guest reminded me there is no “pre” … there is diabetes. 

So let that be a wake up call. We can’t control aging. We can over control carbs to the point blood sugar levels spike. You heard that right. We can fast so long blood sugar levels spike. 

Learn more surprising insight inside this episode. Stay to the end for an invite to a free summit coming up regarding blood sugar levels too. 

 

My Guest:

Dr. Nana Ama Quansah is a Root Cause Care Practitioner, Pharmacist, and Blood Sugar Optimization Expert dedicated to helping high-achievers reclaim their energy, focus, and health. As the founder of Ditch Diabetes Academy, she empowers individuals to stabilize blood sugar and put type 2 diabetes in remission without restrictive diets or overwhelm through her international online programs.

With a Doctor of Pharmacy degree and experience spanning Fortune 500 healthcare companies, hospitals, and personalized coaching, Dr. Nana bridges the gap between conventional medicine and root-cause healing. She’s been featured on global podcasts and international TV, sharing insights on reversing blood sugar imbalances naturally.

 

Questions We Answer in This Episode:

  • [00:05:22] Why does blood sugar matter (even if you’re not diabetic)?
  • [00:08:55] What are the hidden signs of blood sugar imbalance women should watch for?
  • [00:12:42] What are some so-called 'healthy habits' that backfire and make blood sugar issues worse?
  • [00:16:20] What’s going on under the surface? 
  • [00:21:49] Why do we need to go deeper with comprehensive functional testing?
  • [00:26:39] What are the simple shifts for better blood sugar balance to help them now if they feel stuck.

 

Unlocking the Blood Sugar Connection to Stubborn Belly Fat After 40

  • Blood sugar affects every system in the body—brain function, muscle energy, mood, and sleep. 
  • Daily spikes in blood sugar can cause fatigue, cravings, and brain fog—even in "healthy eaters."

 

Common Hidden Signs of Blood Sugar Imbalance

  • Afternoon energy crashes
  • Cravings
  • Brain fog
  • Poor sleep
  • Mood swings
  • Hormonal shifts (especially around menopause or PCOS)

These symptoms are the body’s “whispers” that something’s off.

 

Healthy Habits That Might Be Hurting You

  • Skipping meals or prolonged fasting can worsen hormonal imbalance.
  • Drinking coffee without food increases cortisol and leads to crashes later.
  • Low-carb diets can backfire by raising stress and depriving your gut of fiber-rich, insulin-balancing foods.
  • Eliminating carbs without strategy = increased cravings, mood issues, and stalled fat loss.

 

What Actually Helps Stabilize Blood Sugar

  • Eat a protein-rich breakfast—especially before coffee.
  • Focus on fiber-rich carbs like veggies, nuts, chia, and flax instead of slashing carbs.
  • Don’t ignore stress and sleep—they’re as important as food.
  • Aim for balance, not restriction.

 

Key Takeaways:

  • Blood sugar imbalance is common and sneaky—even in women without diabetes.
  • Listening to your body is the first test—trust what it tells you.
  • Insulin resistance is the doorway to metabolic issues—even if you're just in the “pre-diabetic” zone.
  • Blood sugar dysfunction affects belly fat, energy, brain clarity, and long-term health.
