Episodes
In this episode, Jana dive's into the real power of nutrition and why food impacts far more than just the number on the scale. While many people think about nutrition only in terms of weight loss, the truth is that the foods you eat influence your energy, metabolism, mood, hormones, long-term health, and even your financial future.
March is National Nutrition Month, and this year’s theme is “Discover the Power of Nut...
Have you ever found yourself asking, “Am I actually hungry… or do I just want something?”
In this episode, I explore two powerful types of hunger—mind hunger and heart hunger—and how understanding the difference can transform your relationship with food.
Many women believe their “problem” is willpower. But often, the real issue is misidentifying the type of hunger they’re experiencing. When you learn how to distinguish bet...
If you’ve ever set a weight loss goal and felt motivated at first—only to lose momentum weeks later—you’re not alone. The truth is, most people aren’t failing because they lack discipline. They’re struggling because they were never taught how to set realistic weight loss goals in a way that supports their metabolism, mindset, and long-term health.
In today’s episode, I sit down with fellow Dietitian Kaylee Kussmann to bre...
Today marks one year of Talking Sh*t — and what a year it has been.
In this special solo episode, I take you behind the scenes and share the real story of how this podcast began — the doubts, the courage, the nudge to use my voice, and the moment I decided to stop shrinking.
I open up about:
- Why I started Talking Sh*t in the first place
- What was happening in my life and business at the time
- The fears I had about being see...
In this episode, I sit down with a fellow Dietitian Katie Olzewski to break down one of the most misunderstood topics in health: gut health.

If you’ve tried all the “right” foods and still don’t feel great, this conversation will help...
We’ve been told weight loss is as simple as calories in versus calories out—but if that were true, more people would be successful.
In this episode, Jana is joined by fellow Dietitian Amy Lawson, Owner of Thrive Nutrition RDN to break down why the calorie-in/calorie-out model is overly simplistic, how metabolism, hormones, stress, and blood sugar actually influence weight, and why food fear has become one of the biggest b...

Health was never meant to feel this confusing, overwhelming, or exhausting.
In this episode, Jana sits down with Nathan Schwartz who is a Registered Dietitian, Certified Personal Trainer, and owner of Schwartz Fitness LLC for an honest, refreshing conversation about how nutrition became overcomplicated — and how simplifying your approach is often the key to better results.
Together, they break down why more rules, more die...
Grief doesn’t just live in your heart — it lives in your body.
In this episode, we’re having a deeply honest conversation about how grief impacts women physically, emotionally, and metabolically. From weight changes and body image struggles to exhaustion, inflammation, and disconnection from our bodies, grief often shows up in ways no one prepares us for.
As women, we’re rarely taught how loss affects our nervous system, h...
In this episode, Jana and Margot get real about what’s actually driving emotional eating and why it has nothing to do with willpower, self-control, or being “bad with food.” If you’ve ever felt out of control around eating, stuck in the restrict-then-binge cycle, or overwhelmed by food rules that leave you exhausted and ashamed, this conversation will feel like a deep exhale. Expect clarity, compassion, and grounded trut...
In this episode, Jana and Claudine get real about what women are actually experiencing in midlife and why feeling exhausted, inflamed, foggy, or disconnected from your body is not “just getting older.”

In this episode, Jana and Melissa get real about what’s actually keeping women stuck — and why it has nothing to do with discipline, self-control, or “just trying harder.” If you’ve ever felt like you’re doing everything for everyone else, losing yourself in the process, or running on empty while pretending you’re fine… this conversation is the permission slip you didn’t know you needed. Expect clarity, compassion, and t...
In this episode, Jana and Rebecca break down what’s actually keeping women stuck - and why it has nothing to do with discipline, willpower, or knowing what to eat. If you’ve ever felt frustrated, guilty, or like you’re doing everything “right” but nothing changes, this conversation will give you clarity, compassion, and a new way forward.
They get real about:
😩Why women feel like they’ve “tried everything” - and why the r...
In this episode of Talking Sh*t, Jana drops the pressure to “just be disciplined” and gets real about the one thing most women never consider when they’re trying to change their habits or their relationship with food: their nervous system - the personal blueprint that shapes how you cope, react, shut down, or push through stress.
With nervous system coach and licensed clinical social worker Kim Jackson-Massaro, Jana...
In this episode of Talking Sh*t, Jana drops the perfection, the pressure, and the “not enough” mindset to give you a raw, grounded ramble on the one thing almost every woman overlooks in her health journey: gratitude — the active, mindset-shifting kind that actually changes the way you lose weight, build consistency, and feel at home in your body.
Drawing from years of coaching and her own background growing up in a compe...
In this episode of Talking Sh*t, Jana takes you behind the scenes for a raw, unfiltered “ramble” - no script, no outline, just real talk about why we make health harder than it needs to be. From her Toastmasters journey to the lessons she’s teaching her coaching clients, Jana unpacks why the real work isn’t about having more willpower or control - it’s about learning to prove yourself wrong.
If you’ve ever thought “health...
In this episode of Talking Sh*t, Jana gets real about integrity - not the moral checklist kind, but the personal kind that determines whether you actually follow through on what you say you’ll do. Because confidence doesn’t come from how you look; it comes from the trust you build with yourself.
If you’ve ever said, “I’ll start Monday,” “I know what to do, I just don’t do it,” or “I can’t stay consistent,” this one’s for ...
In this episode of Talkin’ Sh*t, Jana gets real about the words you speak to yourself - and how they quietly shape your habits, your confidence, and your results. If you’ve ever said “I’m lazy,” “I can’t stick to anything,” or “I always fail,” this one is for you.
Jana breaks down why the language you use about yourself isn’t just thoughts - it’s identity. And identity drives behavior. When the story you repeat is rooted ...
In this episode of Talkin’ Sh*t, Jana gets real about food noise - that constant mental chatter about what you should, shouldn’t, or already messed up eating. If you've ever found yourself negotiating bites in your head, planning “one last binge before Monday,” or feeling like food is something you have to contol, this one is for you.
Jana breaks down why food noise gets louder - especially during the holidays—and ho...
In this episode of Talkin’ Sh*t, Jana dives deeper into the truth about accountability, ownership, and how guilt and shame quietly sabotage your progress.
If you’ve ever said, “I can’t stick to it,” “I should know better by now,” or “I keep failing,” this one’s for you. Jana breaks down how to take back ownership of your health in a way that feels freeing—not punishing—and how true accountability builds confidence instead...
