You’ve probably heard that inflammation is a bad thing.
So you take an anti-inflammatory. You change your diet. You cut out inflammatory foods. You take supplements. You do whatever you can to bring inflammation down.
But what if we’ve been looking at inflammation all wrong?
Here’s the deal: inflammation itself isn’t the enemy. It’s actually a very sophisticated process your body uses to respond...
Have you ever looked in the mirror and thought, “Why does my skin suddenly look so different?”
Maybe it’s drier. More sensitive. You’re seeing more fine lines, redness, breakouts or pigmentation. And you’re buying the “clean” products, changing your routine and spending more money than you’d like to admit.
So why isn’t your skin cooperating?
That’s the conversation I wante...
You've talked about it. You've analyzed it. You've understood where it came from.
Have you ever talked about something so many times that you’re convinced you’ve dealt with it—only to realize your body still reacts like it just happened?
Your heart races. Your stomach drops. You get triggered, anxious, shut down, get angry or suddenly feel overwhelmed.
And you think, Why am I still reacting like this? I understand...
Okay… I have a question for you.
Why are you still exhausted, foggy and not feeling right when you’re taking care of yourself?
Maybe you’ve thought about the usual suspects: stress, hormones getting older. Maybe you’ve even had labs done and been told everything looks fine.
But what if there’s something so simple but you didn’t know to look at?
I recently heard from a woman dealing with anxiety...
Okay… I have a question for you.
Why is your hair thinning when you’ve been told your labs are normal?
You’re eating well. You’re taking your supplements. You’re taking care of yourself. And yet there’s more hair in the shower, your ponytail is getting thinner, and you’re wondering what the heck is going on.
Maybe you’ve even been told, “That’s just part of getting older....
What if the problem isn’t that you need another diet, supplement, or protocol?
What if you need to change the way you’re approaching your healing in the first place?
In this episode of the Pretty Well Podcast, I’m talking with Dane Johnson, naturopathic nutritionist and founder of Crohn’s Colitis Lifestyle, about his experience with severe Crohn’s disease and ...
Okay… I have to tell you about this conversation.
If you’ve ever had that experience where you know something in your body is changing, but you can’t quite put your finger on it, I think you’re going to relate to this.
You’re tired. Not I stayed up too late tired.
More like… why am I tired all the time? tired.
Maybe your brain feels a little slower. Your motivation has taken a hit. Your hormone...
What if your anxiety isn't anxiety?
What if your overwhelm isn't a personality flaw?
What if your lack of motivation, emotional exhaustion, irritability, racing thoughts, or constant feeling that you're barely keeping it together has less to do with who you are and more to do with what your brain has been missing?
For years, many of us have been taught to interpret these experiences as character flaws. We tell ourselves we're too ...
You look in the mirror one morning and think, **Wait… what happened?**
You’re more tired than you used to be. Your waistline seems to have changed. You’re waking up at 3 or 4 AM. Your brain feels a little foggier. You’re having afternoon energy crashes. And somehow, your face looks more tired, too.
So you go to your doctor. Your labs are “normal.” And that’s when things get really frustrat...
Have you ever caught yourself thinking: "It runs in my family...so I guess there’s not much I can do." I hear that all the time. And… it bugs me.
That's what made this conversation with Dr. Sam Shay so fascinating. He has a way of taking really complicated science and making it feel surprisingly practical. We talked about the difference between genetics and epigenetics, why your genes aren't necessarily your destiny, ...
Why Don't I Feel Like Myself Anymore? The Midlife Conversation Every Woman Needs to Hear
Can I tell you about a conversation with Dr. Christina Enzmann that completely changed the way I think about midlife?
Actually...it started with a question I hear from women all the time.
"Lisa...I just don't feel like myself anymore."
Whenever a woman tells me that, I know she's not talking about one symptom.
She's talking about this feeling t...
I've had the chance to interview a lot of incredible experts over the years, and every now and then something lands on my radar that makes me stop and say, "Okay...I need to learn more about this." That's exactly what happened here.
When I first heard about a molecule called Carbon 60, I'll admit it—I wasn't convinced. There are plenty of products that promise more energy, healthier aging, and better everything.
Most don't li...

He Lost 80 Pounds (and Not How You Think). Ben Azadi Spills the Tea.
Metabolism is about so much more than the number on the scale. It's the foundation of your energy, brain function, hormones, and long-term health.
When it's working well, you feel energized, focused, and resilient. When it's not, it can feel like you're doing everything "right" but still struggling with fatigue, stubborn weight, and frustrating symptoms.
My gues...

You're so excited to feel better.
And then…
Nothing changes.
—or—
Everything gets worse. Like, way worse.
More anxiety. More bloating. More mood swings.
Or no response at all.
So you try a different dose or a different formulation, but nothing gets better.
So now you’re left wondering:
👉 Is it me?
👉 Is this just how it’s going to be...

The Real Reason For Your Cravings and Emotional Eating. It's Not What You Think.
You eat well. You do the work. And you still feel like something is missing — a kind of emptiness that has nothing to do with what's on your plate.
For high-achieving women, food often becomes the answer to a question the body is asking about something else entirely.
And until you understand what you're actually craving, nothing will fill it.

DISGRACELAND is an award-winning music and true crime podcast about musicians getting away with murder and behaving very badly. Jerry Lee Lewis's 5th wife? Dead. Sid and Nancy? Both dead. Why? Because musicians are insane, and insane things happen to them. Why did we lose Amy Winehouse at 27? Was Debbie Harry really abducted by Ted Bundy as she claims? Is Patti Smith not just the "Godmother of Punk", but also the "Original True Crime Girl"? What really happened the night of the Jay Z nightclub stabbing? What do the Diddy indictments truly reveal? All these stories and more, on artists from every genre and their true crimes, in our massive 260-plus story archive. The Dead, the Stones, Johnny, Willie, Frank, Kurt, Courtney, Gaga, Lana, Taylor, and too many to name. DISGRACELAND is music history come to life through audio storytelling as you've never heard it before, with revealing facts: yes, assassins are the real reason the Beatles quit touring—reclaimed myths: no, Mama Cass didn't die from choking on a ham sandwich––and constant reckoning between art and artist––all told through the lens of true crime. This is the podcast for the self-proclaimed "Disgos", the musically obsessed and the true crime heads; the outsiders, the independent thinkers who know that the best history is the history that gets buried. DISGRACELAND is where host Jake Brennan tells the stories they didn't want told. The kind you'll end up telling someone else. Get ready to uncover hidden truths and buckle up for truly edge-of-your-seat storytelling. New, fully scripted, sound-designed episodes are released every Tuesday. Bonus chat-style episodes where Jake responds to voicemails, texts, and emails from Disgos hit on Thursdays, and "Rewind" episodes from our archive drop on Sundays. DISGRACELAND is not a journalistic podcast. It's an entertainment podcast inspired by true events. Certain dialogue and scenes are dramatized, as is common in scripted entertainment based on real stories. Sources and credits for each episode are available at www.disgracelandpod.com.
