In this episode, I’m joined by Christy Winner- a passionate low-tox lifestyle educator who’s helping women reduce their total toxic burden so their hormones, mitochondria, and inflammation levels can finally stabilize.

If you’ve been doing all the right things - lifting weights, eating clean, focusing on protein, even trying HRT but still feel like your body is stuck… this conversation might reveal the missing puzzle piece.

We talk about the “bucket theory” (why your body can’t calm inflammation if your toxic load is constantly overflowing), and we break down the most impactful swaps that actually make a difference without overwhelming your life.

In this conversation, we cover:

• Why toxins can quietly drive inflammation, fatigue, and hormone imbalance
• The simplest low-tox swaps that actually make a difference
• Air quality, mold, VOCs, and why indoor air is often worse than outdoor air
• Cleaning products, laundry detergent, and hidden endocrine disruptors
• Kitchen upgrades: cookware, plastics, cutting boards, and seed oils
• Water filtration, microplastics, and how to reduce exposure without overwhelm
• How to build a low-tox lifestyle that feels doable (not obsessive)

If you’ve ever felt like your body isn’t responding even when you’re trying so hard - this episode will help you connect the dots.

Have you ever slept 7–9 hours… and still woken up bone-tired—like there’s a weight on your chest and your energy is gone before the day even starts?

In this solo episode, I break down the kind of exhaustion that doesn’t resolve with more rest—because it’s often not a sleep problem. It’s an inflammation problem.

You’ll hear about my personal story from 2016 (building Fusionary Formulas on the road, doing “everything right,” and still feeling depleted), plus a powerful client case that shows how disrupted sleep, stress physiology, and inflammation can spiral—especially in perimenopause and midlife.

In this episode, you’ll learn:

• Why chronic stress + cortisol can create systemic inflammation that steals your energy
• How inflammation impacts mitochondria (your cellular “power plants”)
• What “wired but tired” really means—and why 3 a.m. wakeups are common
• The role of deep sleep, the glymphatic system, and why “clean-up mode” matters
• How elemental design (Ayurveda) helps explain why some women need more sleep than others
• The 5-step framework Dr. Gupta uses to rebuild energy: gut, mitochondria, nervous system, rhythm, targeted support
• Simple weekly “homework” to start decoding your fatigue and taking one aligned step

If you’ve been told your labs are “normal,” but you still feel exhausted, foggy, and heavy—this episode will help you feel seen and give you a clearer path forward.

Perimenopause and menopause don’t mean your body is “failing”—they’re often your body asking for a new kind of support.

In this episode, I’m joined by two trusted South Florida wellness leaders: Rebecca Kastin (functional nutrition + mind-body eating coach) and Heather Marcus Berg (yoga + meditation + Buteyko breathwork instructor). Together, we unpack what’s really happening in midlife—and the small, practical shifts that help women feel balanced again.

We talk about:

• Why “meno belly,” hot flashes, brain fog, and sleep disruption are often connected
• The #1 mistake women make with food in midlife (and what to do instead)
• How meal sequencing can help stabilize blood sugar and support hormones
• Why progesterone/estrogen shifts can change breathing patterns—and how that impacts anxiety and sleep
• Buteyko breathwork basics: nasal breathing, nervous system regulation, and micro-practices you can actually stick with
• Why healing isn’t all-or-nothing: small daily shifts create real change

If you’ve been told everything is “normal” but you don’t feel normal—this conversation will help you feel seen, supported, and empowered with a clear next step.
