The Healthy Mama Podcast

The holidays don’t have to mean weight gain, stress, or “I’ll just start over in January.” 

In this episode, I’m walking you through simple, realistic strategies that help you stay grounded, energized, and confident all season long — without dieting, restricting, or missing out on your favorite holiday treats.

You’ll learn how to:
✨ Build quick, nourishing meals (even on your busiest days)
✨ Keep go-to emergency foods on hand to avoid the unhealthy drive through
✨ Choose treats intentionally — with zero guilt
✨ Edit your calendar to protect your time, peace, and stress levels
✨ Let go of traditions that no longer serve you
✨ Stay calm and present when things get chaotic
✨ Ditch the all-or-nothing mindset that derails so many women this time of year

If you want this December to feel lighter, calmer, and more aligned with the version of yourself you’re becoming… this episode is for you!

🍽️ The foods that help your gut thrive — and the sneaky ones that sabotage your progress

Everyone is talking about hormones lately but is your doctor actually hearing you? 

If you’ve ever felt like your hormones were out of whack but didn’t know where to turn—or worse, you were dismissed by your doctor—this episode is for you.

I’m sitting down with Ana G. Herrera, founder of Glow by Hormone University, who shares her intense journey from stage IV endometriosis to surgical menopause—and how that experience led her to create natural, science-backed solutions for women just like us.

We’re talking about:

• What hormone imbalance can really look like (it’s not just hot flashes)
  
  
• How to advocate for yourself at the doctor’s office (yes, you can ask for more!)
  
  
• Daily practices that support hormone balance without being overwhelming
  
  
• The surprising symptoms no one tells you are hormone-related (like even bloating and rage)

Ana’s story is deeply inspiring, and her passion for empowering women is contagious.

This is a must-listen if you’re in perimenopause, menopause, or just feeling like something is off and you're not getting answers.💛

If you’ve hit your 40s and feel like your metabolism just stopped working, you’re not alone. 

The truth is—your body isn’t broken.

It’s just changed.

And the “eat less, move more” advice that worked in your 20s and 30s?

It’s failing you now because it was never designed for the hormonal shifts of perimenopause and menopause.

In this episode I’m giving you the 3 essential steps I use with my clients to help them get real results so they can ditch the stubborn belly fat, boost their metabolism, and feel more alive now than they did in their 20’s and 30’s.

There’s no starving or over-exercising or dieting involved.

What if the reason you can't lose stubborn belly fat isn't because you're not trying hard enough, but because you've been focusing on the wrong target?

If you're over 40 and you're tired of trying every diet out there, this episode is for you.

I'm breaking down why restricting calories actually makes it worse and sharing the 3 steps to starve your fat cells (not yourself) while working with your hormones instead of against them.

You don't need to eat less to lose weight—you need to eat smarter.

If you’re over 40 and struggling with stubborn weight, low energy, brain fog, or mood swings, your thyroid might be the missing piece—especially if you’ve been told everything looks “normal” on your labs.

In this episode of the Healthy Mama Podcast, I’m joined by Dr. Eric Osansky, a functional health expert who specializes in natural solutions for thyroid and autoimmune conditions like Hashimoto’s and Graves’.

We dive deep into the real root causes of thyroid dysfunction, how it ties into hormones (especially in perimenopause and menopause), and the natural strategies that can help you feel like yourself again—without relying solely on medication.

You’ll learn:

• How to recognize signs your thyroid might be out of balance
  
  
• The labs to ask for (and why “normal” doesn’t always mean optimal)
  
  
• What causes thyroid issues in the first place
  
  
• Foods, supplements, and stress strategies that support healing
  
  
• Why your immune system plays a bigger role than you think
  
  

Whether you’ve been diagnosed or just suspect something’s off, this episode will leave you feeling informed, empowered, and full of hope. 💜
