Okay, let’s be honest—when was the last time you really thought about your dental work? Probably never.But what if I told you that old filling, root canal, or even just skipping floss isn’t just about your teeth—it could actually be what’s messing with your hormones, draining your energy, and keeping you stuck?Today’s episode is going to blow your mind… and maybe have you calling your dentist.(Or looking for a new one!)In this episode we are chatting with Dr. Michelle Jorgensen, a trailblazer in the world of Biologic and Holistic Dentistry.

Okay, let’s be honest—confidence doesn’t always come easy, especially in midlife.Between the career pivots, the body changes, and the whirlwind of life, it’s easy to feel like we’ve somehow lost our spark.But what if confidence isn’t something you're either born with or not… what if it’s something you can actually build—one intentional step at a time?And what if reinvention isn't just possible at this stage of life—but actually easier because of everything you've already overcome?Today’s guest, Karen Fabian, is showing us exactly how to do that—and trust me, you’re going to want to take notes.----------Your Website URLFind Karen at her website: barebonesyoga.comOr on TikTok, Instagram or YouTubeGet Karen's 5 Day Confidence Challenge HERE.----------Get our FREE guide to finally fix your metabolism!Losing weight & getting healthy is never easy, but lately you might feel like it’s suddenly become impossible.Our Flip the Switch guide will help you clearly understand what’s been going on, as well as exactly what you can do to get your metabolism working again so that you can look and feel your best—it’s easier and more simple than you think!

This summer I spent almost a whole month eating my way through Europe–pasta, pretzels, gelato, french fries–all the things I would normally avoid.But when I finally came home, I hadn’t actually gained any weight. It’s pretty crazy, especially when I realize that five years ago one little cheat meal would leave me three pounds heavier and spiraling with guilt for weeks. But the difference isn't willpower—it's metabolic flexibility. And once you understand what that actually means, everything about weight loss starts to make sense.I talk a lot about all the things you can do to lose weight, but not nearly enough about the freedom that happens when you actually HEAL your body.Because when I started doing all the research, I basically discovered that pretty much everything I'd ever been taught about losing weight was backwards. The calorie counting, the restriction, the willpower—all of it was actually making my problem worse. And the moment I stopped fighting my body and started working with it instead? That's when everything clicked.And so today we're going to talk about why that whole approach is completely backwards. We're diving deep into metabolic flexibility—what it actually means, why it's the real game-changer for your health, and how you can stop fighting your body and start working with it instead.By the end of this episode, you'll understand why every diet has failed you, what your body actually needs to burn fat efficiently, and how you can finally get the food freedom you've been dreaming about. Plus, I'm going to share something pretty exciting I'm launching that can help you put all of this into action for the last 90 days of this year.So let’s dig in.----------​For the first time ever, I'm inviting you to join me behind the scenes as I plan and execute my most powerful Quarterly Sprint of the year — and design your own right alongside me.Join me for The Finish Strong Project HERE.Check out Seven Sons and use coupon code: TL50 for $50 off your first box. 

If you’re trying to get healthy, lose weight, fix your hormones, or heal your gut—but you’re still buying meat from the grocery store—you might be missing the most important piece of the puzzle.Because what you eat matters—but what your food ate (and the soil it was grown in)? Believe it or not, that matters even more.Today’s guest is going to explain exactly why—and once you hear it, you’ll never look at your plate the same way again.----------Check out Seven Sons and use coupon code: TL50 for $50 off your first box. You can also find Seven Sons on Instagram.Check out Seven Sons and use coupon code: TL50 for $50 off your first box. 

​For the first time ever, I'm inviting you to join me behind the scenes as I plan and execute my most powerful Quarterly Sprint of the year — and design your own right alongside me.Join me for The Finish Strong Project HERE.----------It’s easy to think about goals at the beginning of the year.It’s that fresh start season, “new year, new you” and all that jazz.Everyone’s talking about resolutions, so you do too.And then promptly forget about them, come February or March. By the time summer hits, all those good intentions have been long forgotten, and then fall comes and almost feels like…what’s the point? The holidays are right around the corner, so you might as well wait until next year.Right?And I get it. But I don’t buy it. Because what I’ve learned over the past 15 years of being super intentional with my goals, is that 90 days is actually a long time.Long enough to make real progress on anything you want for your life.Long enough to see real results, but still short enough to keep you focused.Even in the midst of a busy season.And I believe that you have the power to make this your best quarter yet. Not next year. Not when life gets less crazy. Right now. This year, we’re not limping to the finish line. So let’s dive in.Check out Seven Sons and use coupon code: TL50 for $50 off your first box. 

Ever feel like your brain just won’t shut off—like the anxiety is constant, sleep is a struggle, and your mood is all over the place?You’ve tried meditating. You’ve cut the caffeine. You’ve even taken the supplements.But what if the real problem is that your brain’s brakes aren’t working?Today we’re diving into GABA—what it is, why it’s so often ignored, and how you can actually fix it without relying on a pill that doesn’t work.We’re going to be chatting with Dr. Scott Sherr, a Board-Certified Internal Medicine Physician and expert in Health Optimization Medicine, and a total powerhouse when it comes to cutting-edge brain and body science.And today’s topic is one that I honestly think every woman over 40 needs to understand—especially if you’ve ever struggled with anxiety, insomnia, depression, or brain fog. Because the truth is, a GABA deficiency might be at the root of all of it.We’re unpacking what GABA is, why most clinicians never even test for it, and why GABA supplements don’t actually work the way you think they do. Plus, how you can naturally support your brain through food, lifestyle, and science-backed strategies.This is such a good conversation, and I know you’re going to get so much out of it—so let’s get into it.----------You can find Dr. Scott Sherr at home-sf.com or at homehope.orgFind his GABA products HERE.Or on social--at @drscottsherr or @troscriptions on Instagram----------Get our FREE guide to finally fix your metabolism!Losing weight & getting healthy is never easy, but lately you might feel like it’s suddenly become impossible.Our Flip the Switch guide will help you clearly understand what’s been going on, as well as exactly what you can do to get your metabolism working again so that you can look and feel your best—it’s easier and more simple than you think!

I’m not quite sure where this year has gone, but here we are, already saying goodbye to summer.And whether it was your healthiest summer yet, or you found it hard to get out of vacation mode, there’s nothing quite like a change in season to bring fresh motivation and sometimes, a much-needed reset.A lot of people like to save their goal-setting and resolutions for January, but I love to do it seasonally. Because why only focus on STARTING the year strong, when you can end strong too?And that’s exactly what we’re going to talk about today.----------Want to learn more about how our program can help you lose weight and get healthy FOR LIFE without dieting or drugs, then I'd love to invite you to join me for my FREE training!It will walk you through it all, and it's really good and really helpful.To get all the info and get signed up, just go to thinlicious.com/happy. ----------Get our FREE guide to finally fix your metabolism!Losing weight & getting healthy is never easy, but lately you might feel like it’s suddenly become impossible.Our Flip the Switch guide will help you clearly understand what’s been going on, as well as exactly what you can do to get your metabolism working again so that you can look and feel your best—it’s easier and more simple than you think!
