  • Perimenopause: Everything You Should Have Been Told But Weren’t with Mikala Albertson
    2024/11/25
    Hey friends, welcome back to the show! Today’s episode is one I’m so excited to share because it’s packed with encouragement, hope, and practical solutions. We’re diving into a topic that so many women have questions about but often feel hesitant to bring up—perimenopause. Let me ask: Have you ever wondered, Why am I not in the mood anymore?Or, Why do I walk into a room and forget why I’m there?Or maybe, Why am I suddenly wide awake at 3 a.m. every night? Hot flashes, fatigue, memory lapses—it can feel like our bodies are turning against us, right? Well, friends, I want you to know you’re not alone, and there are answers. Today, I’m joined by the incredible Dr. Mikala Albertson, a board-certified family practice doctor, women’s health advocate, and someone who has a gift for meeting us right in the middle of our messy, ordinary lives. Mikala’s new book, Everything I Wish I Could Tell You About Midlife: A Woman’s Guide to Health in the Body You Actually Have, is a powerful resource full of gentle wisdom and practical advice for navigating this season with confidence and grace. This conversation isn’t just about symptoms; it’s about finding hope, embracing the changes, and stepping into this stage of life feeling empowered and supported. Because here’s the truth: Midlife isn’t the beginning of the end—it’s the start of a whole new chapter, and I want you to feel amazing as you write it. So, grab your favorite drink, get comfy, and join us as we unpack the mysteries of perimenopause and uncover solutions that can make a real difference in your life. You’ve got this, and we’re here to help you along the way! Favorite Quotes: 06:54 - “If we go through the whole list of things and symptoms that can come along with perimenopause, it affects nearly every organ system.” 08:29 - “After we go through menopause, that symptom seems to fix itself. So it's not permanent. It's not forever.” 11:38 - “We have found that estrogen and progesterone both are really important in other areas of the body.” 19:52 - “We can take care of our bodies in a much better way without the focus on what our weight is or appearance.” Recommendations: Things I love and think you will too!

  • Sleep Smarter, Live Better: How to Boost Your Health Overnight
    2024/11/21

    Hey friends! Welcome back to the show. Today, we're continuing the health series with one of the most important topics: our overall health, our mood, and even how we show up in our relationships and our work. I'm talking about sleep. It is something so basic to our lives, but we don't give it the credit it really deserves.

    It is the easiest thing to sacrifice when life gets busy. I will tell you what you need to know, why it's important, and small habits that you can have in your life to feel a lot better.

    It is so tempting to push sleep aside. I’m here to tell you why sleep is nonnegotiable. Consider today your friendly reminder to give yourself permission to rest well so you can feel amazing. Sleep is a superpower, and today, we talk about why sleep is so important.

    Favorite Quotes:

    01:13 - “Sleep is a superpower in this society. Sleep isn't just about feeling rested. It's actually the foundation for everything else.”

    04:13 - “Sleep is like your emotional thermostat, and when you don't get enough of it, the thermostat goes haywire.”

    05:48 - “The truth is when we sleep more, it helps us stay looking younger.”

    21:06 - “I know it can be hard to prioritize sleep, but with everything else going on in life, it's one of the best investments you can make.”

    21:15 - “When you sleep better, you live better.”

  • Managing Stress and Recovering from Burnout with Jonathan Hoover
    2024/11/18

    Welcome back! This week, we are with Jonathan Hoover. We are going to learn all about how to protect ourselves from burnout, if we're burned out, how to heal, how to recover, and how to manage our stress in a healthy way.

    This is such an important topic in our health series because so much of our health has to do with how we are doing and how we're managing stress. Are we on the verge of burnout? Are we just emotionally overwhelmed? Are we weary? These are the things that we need to talk about. We're going to get strategies and tools. We're going to have some light bulb moments. And even though the topic's a little bit heavy, we're going to have a lot of fun.

    Jonathan Hoover, PhD, serves as the Senior Associate Pastor of NewSpring Church in Wichita, Kansas. He also works as an Assistant Professor at Regent University’s School of Psychology and Counseling, where he is the Director of the Master of Science in Psychology program.

    In Jonathan’s new book, Stress Fracture: Your Ultimate Guide to Beating Burnout, he shares how to reclaim control of your life and win the battle against burnout.

    Join Jonathan and I as we talk about:
    • Breaking the myth that all burnout is work-related
    • The different phases of burnout
    • How to manage our stress to recover from burnout
    • Signs we may be susceptible to burnout that we should keep an eye out for
    Favorite Quotes:

    04:19 - “We give the best version of ourselves to God and to our family when we are managing our stress load and taking care of ourselves.”

    14:39 - “Burnout happens because of an accumulation of things.”

    18:06 - “It's important to trust that feeling that something isn't quite right.”

    30:23 - “Attitudes are contagious, but burnout is incredibly contagious.”

    30:56 - “God designed us to be more active than what most of us are in our culture.”

  • From Energy to Immunity: The Supplements That Work Wonders
    2024/11/14

    Welcome back! Today, I want to do a deep dive into supplements. This is for our health series. Of course, there's no way I can't talk about supplements. I’ve been reading and studying the supplement world for a long time.

    My goal today is to give you a realistic look at supplements and what they can and can't do. I want to debunk the myth that we can get the majority of everything we need from our food alone. I have some really interesting data to support this. So whether you love them or hate them, this will be a fascinating episode for you.

    Favorite Quotes:

    03:00 - “Even if you're eating really healthy, it is very difficult for you to eat enough food to get your minimum RDA levels of vitamins and minerals every day.”

    04:01 - “Most important is a multivitamin. A multivitamin is like your daily safety net. It's gonna fill in the gaps where your diet will fall short.”

    05:28 - “Another one that I'm obsessed with and I think everyone should take as a supplement is magnesium. Magnesium is a powerhouse. I love it because magnesium is involved in over 300 processes in your body.”

    18:13 - “Multivitamins help us feel better in the time that we have to live.”

    21:48 - “However many years the Lord has given us, we want to feel good. We want to live them abundantly. We want to thrive. We don't just want to limp through life and that takes educating ourselves. It takes empowering ourselves.”

    Recommendations:

    This week I’m currently loving The Rose Code by Kate Quinn. It’s historical fiction that dives into the lives of three women code breakers during WWII. If you’re like me and haven’t read it yet, you just may love it.

    I know what great song you’ll love, Everything Has Breath by Bryan and Katie Torwalt and Jesus Culture. It’s upbeat. It’s the perfect song to put on, roll the windows down, and sing and praise through it all.

    Things I love and think you will too:
    • Pure Encapsulations
    • Nordic Naturals Ultimate Omega-3
    • Pure Encapsulations O.N.E. Multivitamin
    • The Rose Code

    Welcome back. This is a really special episode in the health series. I'm here with Rebecca Fedrowitz, my health coach. She has been helping me through most of this year to get some of my issues under control. She solved a lot of problems. It's been life-changing.

    Rebekah Fedrowitz, MDN, BCHN®, is a board-certified holistic nutritionist and passionate advocate for women’s health. Rebekah specializes in revealing how imbalances in stress, hormones, and gut health are holding women back from feeling energized, focused, and in control of their lives.

    Whether through private consulting, speaking engagements, or programs, Rebekah is on a mission to equip women to take control of their wellness and thrive.

    Join Rebekah and I as we talk about:

    • How food sensitivities can affect us and what to do about it
    • Gut health and the importance to our health
    • Ways stress can affect our digestion
    • What we need to know about living in burnout and stress

    Favorite Quotes:

    03:37 - “ It's actually really common for things like reflux and bloating to be due to some sort of hidden food sensitivity.”

    05:50 - “The gut is such an important part of our health, and it's so common for us in our modern society to have gut health imbalances.”

    16:02 - “When women are well, we are better equipped to do the things that we were called to do.”

    25:01 - “Ultimately one of the biggest reasons why stress is so harmful is because it starts in the gut and digestion.”

    25:22 - “Everything you eat either adds to or takes away from your body.”

  • The Truth about Omega 3s: What you need to know for your health
    2024/11/07

    I am so excited to talk to you about something super important for your health that doesn't get enough attention. It may not sound exciting when you first hear about it, but I want you to stay with me. By the end of this show, I am going to make you the biggest fan.

    Omega-3 fatty acids may not sound sexy or exciting, but they’re very important. I want to give you the research and let you go deeper into all the things that I'm talking about.

    So why do I love these? These are little fats that pack a punch. When it comes to keeping your body and your mind healthy, whether we're focused on improving your skin, boosting your energy, or helping with anti-aging, omega-3s are the must-have in your routine.

    I want you to take a closer look and get into the science of Omega-3s. I put together a free Omega-3s guide to give you resources that are research backed.

    Favorite quotes:

    04:34 - “Omega-3s, they support our brain, they help us with focus, they help us with memory, and they even help us with mood.”

    05:17 - “Omega-3s are key for our skin. They make our skin look plump. They can help our skin not be dry, itchy, and irritated.”

    09:43 - “One thing I love about omega-3s is they will keep your joints more flexible and preserve muscle mass, too, because those things naturally decrease as we get older. So, if you want to stay active, if you want to stay strong, it's just another reason to take omega-3s.”

    10:21 - “For women, omega-3s can also help us balance our hormones.”

    22:39 - “Omega-3s are simple and powerful. It is a great way to improve your health and keep you feeling great.”

  • Skincare Secrets: What Really Works and How to Slow Down Skin Aging Part 2
    2024/10/31

    Welcome back. This is week two of everything you ever wanted to know about skincare but didn't know who to ask. Okay, that's not the title, but I like that title.

    Skin health is more than just expensive products. It’s about focusing on the basics that truly work and it doesn’t have to be expensive. Today, we're doing a deep dive into more things that we can do to keep our skin looking great all the time.

    We’re talking about skin health, beauty and everything you need to know. We’re diving into sun protection, sleep, sugar, Antioxidants, Omega-3 fatty acids, and protein. You don’t want to miss it!

    Favorite quotes:

    03:28 - “Sleep is big. When we don't get enough sleep, it does take a toll on our skin.”

    09:02 - “Antioxidants are your skin's best defense when it comes to aging.”

    11:14 - “Omega-3s are great for your skin, it's great for your collagen, and the name of the game of skin care is collagen.”

    14:45 - “Lower estrogen can affect collagen. So the drop in estrogen during perimenopause or menopause significantly impacts your collagen production.”

    18;26 - “It's tough, but reducing sugar can make a big difference in your skin's appearance.”

    20:10 - “Again, it's not about doing everything all at once. It's not about buying the latest expensive products. It's about sticking to the essentials that really make a difference in your skin.”
