Because the story of how this happened isn't just a business announcement. It's a God thing. And you need to hear it from the start.In this episode, Ruth and Lisa share:How Ruth's decade-long yo-yo diet struggle led her to finally ask the right question — and lose 40 pounds in six months by ditching everything she'd been told about weight lossLisa's parallel journey: diagnosed with autoimmune disease in her teens and twenties, hitting 280 pounds at 40, and eventually losing over 100 pounds (and keeping it off for eight years) by eating the same way TAS is built onThe Christmas Eve party conversation that started it all — and why Ruth's first answer when asked "who would you sell Thinlicious to?" was Lisa, without hesitationWhat this transition actually means for you as a member of this community — and why the best of Thinlicious is still aheadWhat's coming next: more coaching, more community, and more of what has always made this program workThis isn't goodbye. It's the beginning of something even bigger. Ruth isn't disappearing — she's cheering Lisa on as her partner and biggest fan. And Lisa? She's been living this mission for years. She just gets to lead it now.If you're a woman over 40 who's tired of feeling sick, exhausted, and like your body has stopped cooperating — you're in the right place.

If you’ve tried everything—from doctors to diets to detoxes—and still feel exhausted, inflamed, or just off... this episode is for you.Because what if the real reason you’re not healing isn’t your willpower... it’s that no one’s actually gotten to the root of what’s going on?In this episode we’re chatting with Carrie Drinkwine, a regenerative health expert, root-cause specialist, and the founder of the Institute of Regenerative Health. After healing herself from multiple autoimmune conditions, chronic illness, and even infertility, Carrie made it her mission to help other women do the same—physically, emotionally, and energetically.And let me tell you, this conversation is deep. We talk about why so many women get stuck in survival mode, what conventional and even functional medicine often misses, and how real healing can actually start when you go beyond just managing symptoms.If your labs say you’re “fine” but you still feel like garbage… if you’ve spent years pushing through the pain, the fog, the anxiety—this episode is going to challenge what you think you know about your body.But more than that, it’s going to give you hope.So let’s dive in.----------You can find Carrie at www.carriedrinkwine.comOr on her SocialsIG @carriedrinkwineIG @instituteofregenerativehealthLinkedInFacebookTikTok @carriedrinkwine----------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.

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.

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.

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.

​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.
