If you’re frustrated with a weight loss plateau, this episode breaks down the real reasons you’re stuck — and how to get momentum back. We’re talking blood sugar and insulin (the true gatekeepers of fat loss), portion creep from “healthy” snacks, grazing habits that keep you in storage mode, and how walking — especially after meals — can dramatically improve glucose control. I also cover strategic fasting (when appropriate), stress and cortisol’s impact on belly fat, and the sneaky liquid saboteurs like alcohol, sugary drinks, and even excess coffee on an empty stomach.

But this isn’t just about food. Your mindset matters. If you keep telling yourself you’ll never get past this weight, your behavior will follow that belief. We’ll talk about identity, consistency, and why the number on the scale means far less than how you feel. Most importantly, I’ll remind you that plateaus are not punishment — they’re information. With a few refinements — balancing blood sugar, tightening portions, managing stress, walking daily, and surrounding yourself with supportive community — your body responds. You are not broken. Your metabolism is adaptive. And momentum can return.

For years I told clients to cut gluten completely — and in many cases, that advice helped. But recently, God challenged my pride and refined my understanding. In this episode, I share how a former client introduced me to research on fresh milled flour and traditional wheat preparation that completely shifted my thinking. We’ll unpack the real history of industrialized flour in America, how modern processing strips wheat of its nutrients, why blood sugar spikes so dramatically with store-bought flour, and what that means for gut health, inflammation, and metabolic dysfunction. You’ll also hear why many people can tolerate wheat in places like Europe but struggle here in the U.S. — and why gluten itself may not be the whole story.

If you’ve benefited from going gluten-free, this conversation may surprise you. And if you’ve grieved giving up bread entirely, there is hopeful news. I’ll explain the difference between industrial flour and fresh milled wheat, how fermentation (like sourdough) improves digestibility, practical ways to start incorporating fresh milled flour (even if you’re not a “pioneer woman”), and why this shift goes far beyond food. This is about humility. Renewing your mind. Getting back to God-designed nourishment. And reclaiming the sacred rhythm of gathering around the table — one loaf of bread at a time.

Are you exhausted even though you’re “eating clean”? In this episode, we’re uncovering how common healthy foods like oatmeal, whole wheat bread, low-calorie snacks, salads, gluten-free products, bananas, and even protein bars may be causing blood sugar spikes, insulin resistance, gut issues, and metabolic slowdowns. We’ll talk about how modern processed grains differ from traditional wheat, why low-fat diets can increase insulin and fat storage, and how calorie restriction can tank your metabolism over time. If you’ve ever felt worse after trying to eat better, you are not crazy — and it’s not your fault.

You’ll also learn why blood sugar is like your body’s personal dashboard, how two people can eat the same food and have completely different metabolic responses, and why food quality matters far more than calorie counting. We’ll cover smarter swaps for salad dressings, better sugar-free alternatives, when fiber might actually worsen gut symptoms, and why protein needs to be your foundation. This episode will help you stop chasing food trends and start learning what actually works for your body — so you can regain energy, balance your metabolism, and finally feel satisfied instead of constantly hungry.

Have you noticed stubborn midsection weight gain, increased anxiety, poor sleep, salt and sugar cravings, and that “wired but tired” feeling — even though you’re doing everything that used to work? You go to the doctor, your labs are “fine,” and you’re told it’s just part of getting older. But over time, 5 pounds turns into 25… and frustration keeps rising. In this episode, we unpack cortisol belly — abdominal weight gain driven by chronic stress — and why it’s nearly impossible to lose weight when your nervous system is stuck in survival mode. You’ll learn how cortisol affects your hormones (including progesterone), your gut health, your blood sugar, and ultimately your metabolism.

We’ll also talk about the surprising solution: not more restriction, not harder workouts, not longer fasts — but regulating your nervous system. Breathwork, rest, oxytocin, blood sugar stability, and surrendering your stress to God are not “doing nothing.” They are powerful, free tools that reset your stress response and allow your body to feel safe enough to heal. If you’ve been white-knuckling your health journey, this episode will give you permission to step off the gas — and finally start seeing progress.

In today’s episode, I’m introducing you to Colleen Ritz — the newest member of Team Nourish, homeschooling mom of six, Army veteran, and lifelong learner in holistic health. Colleen shares her personal health journey and the mindset shift that changed everything for her: realizing she is in charge of her own health and the environment she creates in her home. We talk about what it looks like to model health for your children, how showing up for yourself creates a legacy of wellness, and why true health is about adding supportive habits rather than constantly restricting or subtracting.

Colleen also shares practical encouragement for busy moms who want to feel better but feel overwhelmed by all the health noise online. You’ll hear her favorite simple daily practices, how she prioritizes her health while homeschooling and raising six kids, and what women can expect in a coaching session with her. If you’re ready for realistic, sustainable, family-centered health — and want to feel empowered in your body again — this conversation will leave you encouraged and motivated.

Protein is the foundation of metabolism, hormone balance, and gut health — yet most women are still under-eating it while filling up on “healthy” carb-heavy meals that leave them hungry, tired, and craving more. In this episode, we break down why protein stabilizes blood sugar, supports insulin and cortisol balance, builds lean muscle (your metabolic engine), and provides the amino acids needed to repair the gut lining and produce neurotransmitters for mood and energy. You’ll also learn why today’s protein needs are significantly higher than older recommendations and why aiming for about 30 grams per meal can be a game-changer for energy, cravings, and body composition.

We also unpack protein quality and utilization — why animal proteins are generally more efficiently used by the body than plant proteins — and why eggs truly are one of the most nutrient-dense, underrated superfoods available. You’ll get practical strategies to measure protein without tracking, prep protein for busy weeks, choose better protein supplements, and avoid common myths (like peanut butter being a protein source). The takeaway is simple but powerful: make protein the main event at your meals, and many metabolism, hormone, and gut symptoms begin to improve from the inside out.

Ever feel like you’re doing all the “healthy” things — choosing sugar-free drinks, grazing on small meals, buying protein bars, taking supplements — and yet you’re still exhausted, inflamed, and stuck with stubborn weight? I’ve been there. In this episode, I’m pulling back the curtain on the 7 biggest hormone and metabolism mistakes I made for years that quietly wrecked my gut health, blood sugar, and energy. From artificial sweeteners and constant snacking to mislabeled “health foods” and over-supplementing, these habits looked healthy on the surface… but were keeping me insulin-resistant and frustrated.

The good news? Once I fixed these simple foundations, things began to change — cravings dropped, energy stabilized, and weight loss felt easier and more natural. Today I’ll walk you through exactly what to avoid, what to do instead, and how to shift from feeling defeated to feeling empowered in your body. If you want steady energy, fewer cravings, and a metabolism that actually works with you (not against you), this episode will save you years of trial and error.

So many women think health comes down to food and workouts… but after coaching hundreds of moms, I can tell you this: 90% of lasting transformation is mindset. You can know exactly what to eat and still feel stuck if you’re living in an “I’ll be happy when…” mentality, chasing perfection, or starting over every Monday. In this episode, we’re flipping the script. You’ll learn how healthy moms choose joy now (not 20 pounds from now), focus on progress instead of the gap, practice gratitude, let go of all-or-nothing thinking, and build simple systems that make consistency feel doable — even during the busiest seasons of motherhood.

We also dive into something deeper: faith. Because true peace doesn’t come from a number on the scale — it comes from knowing who you are in Christ. When you stop using food for comfort and start viewing your body as a gift to steward, everything changes. You’ll walk away with practical habits, a calmer approach to weight loss, and a renewed perspective that helps you model health, faith, and freedom for your family. This is about playing the long game, giving yourself grace, and becoming the strong, steady, joyful mom God created you to be.

Running on empty is hard—and if you’re honest, it’s probably affecting more than just your afternoons. Low energy makes it harder to have patience with your kids, harder to make nourishing food choices, and harder to care about workouts or habits that once felt doable. In this episode, I share my own journey of feeling chronically drained despite “doing everything right,” being told my labs were normal, and wondering why everyone else seemed to have energy when I didn’t. Here’s the truth: normal labs don’t always mean optimal health—and the average American baseline isn’t the goal.

We dive into the real root causes of low energy, including mineral depletion, iron dysfunction (not deficiency), mitochondrial health, chronic stress and adrenal dysregulation, gut imbalances, food intolerances, insulin resistance, and the impact of modern processed foods. You’ll learn why iron supplements often make things worse, how inflammation and oxidative stress quietly drain vitality, and why your body’s energy systems are beautifully interconnected. Most importantly, we talk about how restoring energy isn’t about doing more—it’s about slowing down, nourishing deeply, honoring God’s design, and learning to listen to your body again so you can live with strength, peace, and purpose.

If you’ve been told your LDL cholesterol is “too high” and left feeling scared, confused, or pressured to start a statin without real answers, this episode is for you. Today we’re unpacking the truth about cholesterol—why we actually need it for hormones, brain health, and immune function, why healthy fats aren’t the enemy, and how decades of fear-based nutrition advice led us away from what truly protects the heart. We’ll talk about LDL, HDL, triglycerides, and the history behind our obsession with cholesterol numbers—including how flawed research shaped modern guidelines.

More importantly, we’ll zoom out to what really matters: blood sugar, insulin resistance, and chronic stress. You’ll learn why inflamed or oxidized cholesterol—not cholesterol itself—is the real problem, how high insulin and glucose damage cholesterol particles, and why triglycerides and the TG:HDL ratio often tell a much clearer story than LDL alone. We’ll also discuss statins—what they can do, what they don’t address, and why lifestyle changes are still essential whether you’re on medication or not. If you’re ready to feel informed instead of afraid and want a more holistic, functional approach to heart and metabolic health, this episode will help everything finally make sense.

Do you feel tired before the day even starts, snappy with your kids, anxious for no clear reason, or stuck in a body that feels inflamed and heavy no matter how “right” you eat or how hard you try? In this episode, we uncover how chronic stress quietly wreaks havoc on your hormones, digestion, mood, sleep, and weight—and why doing more is often making things worse. You’ll learn what’s actually happening inside your nervous system, how survival mode keeps your body from healing, and why these symptoms are not a failure—but a sign your body is trying to protect you. Through real-life stories, science made simple, and a grace-filled Christian perspective, you’ll begin to see stress in a whole new way.

We also walk through 6 simple, practical ways to calm your nervous system and invite peace back into your body and home—without adding more pressure to your plate. From a 2-minute daily reset, eating before coffee, creating margin, shifting your mindset through prayer, prioritizing sleep as stewardship, and harnessing the powerful calming effects of connection and oxytocin, these are small starts that lead to real healing. If you’re a busy mom who loves God but feels stretched thin, this episode will remind you that rest is not laziness—it’s obedience, healing, and trust. You were never meant to carry it all alone, and God meets you right in the middle of your surrender.

Have you ever wondered why bloating, constipation, diarrhea, low energy, anxiety, and weight gain so often show up together? In this episode, we dive deep into the connection between your gut microbiome and your moods, metabolism, and motivation. You’ll learn why digestive symptoms are not normal, how an overgrowth of bad bacteria can steal your nutrients, disrupt hormones, and lower key neurotransmitters like serotonin, dopamine, and GABA—and why simply adding probiotics or fiber can sometimes make symptoms worse.

I also walk you through practical, realistic steps you can start today to support a healthier gut ecosystem—without overcomplicating food or giving up meals you love. From smarter food swaps and fiber strategies to stress reduction, faith, and connection, this episode will help you understand how healing your digestion can transform your energy, cravings, weight loss, and overall quality of life. If you’re tired of just surviving and ready to truly thrive, this episode is for you.

If you’ve ever said, “I feel like I’m doing everything right, but I’m just not getting the results I should,” this episode is for you. Blood sugar monitoring is often the missing link behind low energy, mood swings, stubborn weight, and hormone struggles — especially for busy women. In this episode, we talk about how unstable blood sugar impacts insulin, energy production, aging, fat storage, stress hormones, and even your emotional resilience. I break down why spikes and crashes leave you tired, anxious, and frustrated — and how learning to stabilize your blood sugar can completely change how you feel in your body.

We also talk about why blood sugar monitoring is personalized nutrition — because what works for one woman may not work for another (and that’s by design). You’ll learn how stress alone can raise blood sugar, why insulin plays a massive role in hormone health at every stage of life, and how small, realistic “hacks” can lead to massive wins without restriction. From a faith-based lens, this is about stewardship, not striving — learning how God designed your body to work so you can show up with more patience, joy, and presence for the people you love.

Why do so many motivated, capable moms keep setting health goals—yet feel stuck in the same cycle year after year? In this episode, we’re breaking down why traditional goal setting often backfires for busy moms and how learning to build simple systems can create lasting freedom from yo-yo dieting.

We’ll explore the difference between goals and processes, why focusing on the endpoint can lead to frustration and paralysis, and how identity-based habits help you become the kind of woman who naturally lives out her health goals. You’ll hear why integrity with yourself matters just as much as integrity with others, and how celebrating small follow-through moments can actually rewire motivation and consistency.

We’ll also weave in a Christian perspective—looking at health through the lens of stewardship, faithfulness, and grace. God doesn’t call us to perfection or instant results; He calls us to show up consistently, trust the process, and grow over time. If you’re tired of starting over every Monday and ready for a sustainable, faith-centered approach to health, this episode will encourage you to stop chasing quick fixes and start building systems that truly support your life.

Perimenopause—the 10-ish years leading up to menopause—can feel like a mystery no one prepared us for. In this episode, I break down what’s really happening in your body during this transition and why so many women feel unsupported, overwhelmed, and depleted. But here’s the truth: it doesn’t have to be that way. I’m sharing my own journey and why I’m so grateful I made key health changes before menopause—changes that have helped me feel better now than I did in my 30s.

You’ll learn my five smart moves to support your body through perimenopause and beyond, including building muscle for metabolic health, eating enough protein, using fat for fuel, restoring critical minerals, narrowing your eating window, and learning to truly rest in a busy, distracted world. We’ll also talk about blood sugar, bone health, stress, faith, and why slowing down may be one of the most powerful hormone-supporting tools you have. If you’re ready to stop feeling worn down and start entering this season with strength, clarity, and joy—this episode is for you.

Endocrine disruptors are everywhere—and for many women, they’re a missing piece in the hormone, weight loss, fatigue, and mood puzzle. In this episode, Amanda and I break down what endocrine disruptors actually are, how they interfere with your hormones, metabolism, thyroid, blood sugar, and gut health, and why so many women are struggling without realizing the root cause. We talk through where these toxins hide in everyday life—from plastics and personal care products to cleaning supplies and food packaging—and why “normal exposure” doesn’t mean harmless.

You’ll also walk away with practical, realistic ways to reduce your toxic load without becoming overwhelmed or obsessive. This isn’t about fear—it’s about freedom, stewardship of your body, and creating an environment where your hormones can finally function the way God designed them to. If you’ve been dealing with stubborn weight, low energy, mood swings, or hormone chaos, this episode will give you clarity, confidence, and a simple starting point.

In This Episode, We Break Down:

Are you struggling with eczema, itching, or adult acne that never seems to go away? In today’s episode, we break down the powerful connection between gut health, inflammation, hormones, and your skin, and how the foods you eat—and the foods you think are harmless—may be driving your symptoms. You’ll learn why steroid creams and spot treatments only mask the problem, how leaky gut triggers chronic skin flare-ups, and what God may be showing you through the symptoms you’re experiencing.

We walk through four natural, gut-focused fixes that support clearer skin from the inside out: healing intestinal permeability, removing inflammatory foods (especially dairy and processed wheat), supporting detox pathways, and balancing hormones through blood sugar control. You’ll also hear my own story of battling acne into my 40s—and the exact shifts that transformed everything. If you want clearer skin, better energy, and confidence from the inside out, this episode will give you the hope and practical steps you’ve been praying for.

In This Episode, We Break Down:

In today’s episode, we’re diving deep into food noise — that constant mental chatter about food that leaves so many women feeling frustrated, preoccupied, and exhausted. If you’ve ever caught yourself wondering why you’re thinking about food all day, craving something sweet after every meal, or feeling hungry again right after you eat, you’re not alone. We unpack the real root causes behind food noise, from disrupted hunger hormones like leptin and ghrelin to nutrient deficiencies, processed foods, stress, decision fatigue, and restrictive dieting. You’ll learn how sleep, blood sugar, gut health, meal timing, and truly nourishing your body can dramatically quiet the cravings and restore balance to your hunger hormones.

But we’re also going deeper — because food noise isn’t just physical. It can become spiritual when it starts dominating your thoughts and stealing your peace. Scripture reminds us, “I will not be dominated by anything” (1 Corinthians 6:12), and yet so many women feel mentally captive to food without even realizing it. In this episode, we explore how obedience, temperance, and inviting God into your health journey can break the cycle and restore the freedom He designed for you. If you’re ready to calm the noise, support your metabolism, and reconnect your mind, body, and spirit, this episode will empower you with the education and encouragement to take the next step. Join us inside our January Metabolic Reset Workshop to go even deeper!

In This Episode, We Break Down:

What The Nourish Experience Actually Looks Like (and Why It Works)

Sara shares why the podcast only scratches the surface of what’s possible — and how personalized coaching, accountability, and clear direction help you move from “trying everything” to finally seeing real results.

You’ll learn:

• How a discovery call works (spoiler: it’s all about YOU)
• What we ask, what you can expect, and how we decide together if it’s a good fit
• Why having a roadmap saves you time, energy, and years of frustration
• How HSA/FSA funds can be used for the program
• The different tiers and flexible payment options available

Kara breaks down how she helps new clients navigate the program without overwhelm — including early check-ins, resource guidance, pacing support, and encouragement for busy seasons of life.

Amanda explains how Nourish offers two coaches with two specialties — gut health and hormone health — and how clients can move between coaches seamlessly thanks to shared notes and protected electronic records. Two perspectives, one united team.

Plus, we all share our before-and-after stories!

Are you exhausted from counting macros, logging every bite, and still not seeing the results you hoped for? You’re not alone, friend. In this episode, we’re talking about why macro and calorie counting doesn’t tell the whole story — especially when it comes to your hormones, metabolism, and gut health. You’ll learn how food quality and blood sugar stability play a much bigger role in your energy, mood, and weight than the numbers in your tracking app ever could. I’ll share why “if it fits your macros” can actually keep you stuck, and how blood sugar reveals what’s really happening in your body when you eat.

If you’re ready to ditch the overwhelm of macro counting and finally start eating in a way that supports your metabolism and hormonal balance, this episode is your roadmap. You’ll walk away with practical ways to monitor your blood sugar, simple food swaps that calm cravings and improve energy, and a faith-filled reminder that your body isn’t broken — it’s just asking for a different kind of care. Share this episode with a friend who’s been stuck in the calorie-counting cycle and tag me on social media with your biggest “aha!” moment. Let’s help more women find freedom, balance, and peace in the way they nourish their bodies.

If you’re struggling with bloating, fatigue, stubborn weight gain, or brain fog — even while eating “healthy” — your daily wheat habit might be to blame. In this episode, we’re uncovering how modern wheat affects gut health, inflammation, blood sugar, and hormone balance. You’ll learn why today’s wheat is not the same as what our grandparents ate, how it can damage the gut lining and slow your metabolism, and what to eat instead to finally feel lighter, clearer, and more energized.

We break down the science in a simple, real-life way — helping you connect the dots between wheat, poor digestion, and metabolic slowdowns. You’ll walk away with practical swaps, easy gut-healing tips, and a 2-week “wheat-free” experiment to help you see how much better your body can feel. If you’ve been feeling bloated, moody, or stuck, this episode will open your eyes to one of the biggest hidden culprits affecting women’s health today.

We’ll cover how your microbiome influences cravings, the best ways to nourish your body so it naturally wants less sugar, and how to bring your cravings to God instead of fighting them alone.

If you’ve ever felt anxious for “no reason,” this episode will change everything you thought you knew about anxiety. We’re diving into the real root causes that go far beyond your mind — from the state of your gut bacteria to your blood sugar balance and even your hormones. You’ll learn how dysbiosis (imbalanced gut bacteria) can lower your calming neurotransmitters like GABA, how blood sugar swings mimic anxiety symptoms, and why low progesterone can make you feel constantly wired. By the end, you’ll understand exactly what’s driving that anxious, on-edge feeling — and how to start calming your body from the inside out through simple, science-backed habits.

Sara also shares her own journey from pharmacy school confusion to functional medicine clarity — and how she helps women rebuild peace by supporting their biology and their faith. You’ll walk away with practical steps to restore gut balance, stabilize your blood sugar, and lower cortisol naturally, plus a powerful reminder to give your worries to God and surrender what you can’t control. This is your roadmap to lasting calm, energy, and confidence — body, mind, and spirit.

Are you stuck in a cycle of sugar cravings, constant scrolling, and never-ending fatigue? As Christian moms, we often juggle so much—our kids, our homes, our marriages—and yet we still feel drained, distracted, and disconnected.

In this episode, we dive into the power of a dopamine detox, and why breaking free from processed foods and phone addiction is the reset your mind, body, and spirit desperately need.

You’ll learn how food cravings and phone habits work the same way in your brain, why this leaves you exhausted and moody, and how simple shifts can restore your energy, focus, and peace. With faith-based encouragement and practical strategies, you’ll discover how to reclaim your time, your health, and your joy. If you’re ready to stop feeling stuck in unhealthy cycles and start living with freedom, this episode will guide you step by step.

Are you exhausted, moody, and frustrated that no matter what you try, weight loss feels impossible? You’re not alone—and the hidden link might be insulin resistance. In this episode, I uncover why so many Christian moms are struggling with low energy, mood swings, and stubborn weight, often without realizing their blood sugar is at the root. You’ll learn why insulin resistance starts years before a diabetes diagnosis, why traditional advice like “eat better and exercise more” often fails, and how this silent issue could be holding you back in every area of your health.

The good news? Insulin resistance can be reversed! I’ll walk you through practical steps to start restoring your energy, balancing your moods, and finally turning your body back into a fat burner. We’ll also talk about the spiritual side of health—how inviting God into your wellness journey can transform not only your body, but your patience, peace, and ability to show up well for your family. This episode is about breaking free from exhaustion and reclaiming the vibrant, God-honoring life you were created to live.

Autoimmune conditions are on the rise, tripling in the last 30 years, and many women don’t even realize their daily symptoms could be connected. In this episode, we dive deep into autoimmunity with a spotlight on hypothyroidism and Hashimoto’s — the most common autoimmune thyroid disease. From fatigue, brain fog, and hair loss to stubborn weight gain and mood changes, these symptoms are often dismissed or treated with band-aid fixes. But the truth is, your body isn’t broken — it’s sending signals that something deeper is going on.

We’ll explore how gut health, hormones, blood sugar, and stress all play a role in triggering autoimmunity and how lifestyle adjustments can help you move from survival mode to thriving. You’ll learn why testing beyond just TSH matters, how gluten and gut permeability are tied to thyroid issues, and the small but powerful shifts that can calm your immune system and restore your energy. If you’re ready to understand what’s really behind your hypothyroid symptoms and take back control of your health, this episode will give you the roadmap to start your journey.

Hormones are your body’s communication system—and when they’re out of balance, everything feels harder. Fatigue, mood swings, cravings, poor sleep, and even digestive struggles are often signals that your body is asking for support. In this episode, I sit down with nurse-turned-health coach Amanda Jeffres to explore how nutrition plays a critical role in hormone balance.

Amanda shares her personal story of navigating irregular cycles, infertility, heavy periods, and PMS—and how addressing gut health, blood sugar balance, and cycle awareness helped her reclaim her health. Together, we cover four key nutrition strategies to support your hormones, from balancing blood sugar and nourishing gut health to fueling with healthy fats, proteins, and cycle-specific care.

If you’ve ever wondered how to eat in a way that supports your energy, mood, and metabolism at every stage of life, this episode will give you clarity, encouragement, and simple steps you can start today.

Supplements can be confusing—some are worth every penny, while others are nothing more than “expensive urine.” In this episode, I share the truth about the supplement industry, including the big red flags to watch out for, why brand quality matters, and how to avoid the common mistakes most people make when shopping for vitamins. 

As a former pharmacist turned nutrition coach, I’ve seen both sides—prescriptions that cover up symptoms and natural approaches that address the root cause. Today, I’ll walk you through the supplements I personally use with my family and why some of the most popular products on store shelves might be doing more harm than good. If you’ve ever felt overwhelmed by all the options, this episode will give you clarity and confidence in choosing supplements that truly serve your health.

In this episode of the Improve Energy Podcast, I sit down with someone very special—my right-hand girl, Kara. Not only has she been a huge part of our team behind the scenes, but she also began her journey with Nourish Health Coaching as a client. Kara opens up about how choosing a healthier lifestyle has transformed the way she shows up as a mom, created a positive family culture, and inspired her to think about the lasting generational impact of her choices.

We talk about the power of consistency over quick fixes, why accountability and community make such a difference, and how embracing health as a lifestyle—not a sprint—can change everything. Kara’s story is relatable, encouraging, and full of wisdom for busy moms who want to take small but powerful steps toward better energy, health, and confidence.

Snacking has become a way of life for most of us—but is it actually helping your health, or quietly holding you back? In today’s podcast, we’ll talk about why our bodies were never designed for constant grazing and how the snack industry convinced us we need to eat every few hours. You’ll learn how too many snacks can disrupt your hormones, slow your metabolism, and even feed the wrong bacteria in your gut. I’ll break down what’s really happening with your blood sugar when you reach for “naked carbs” like chips, grapes, or even watermelon, and why those quick bites may leave you hungrier instead of satisfied.

Of course, there are times when your body truly needs a snack—and when that happens, I’ll show you how to do it the smart way. You’ll get a list of my go-to, whole-food snack ideas that keep blood sugar steady, support gut health, and give you sustained energy—whether you’re at home, work, at a ball game, or running errands. If you’ve been struggling with low energy, stubborn weight, or constant cravings, this episode will give you the tools to fuel your body intentionally and break free from the snack trap once and for all.

In this episode, we’re diving into a major myth about anemia that could be keeping you exhausted and frustrated. If you've been told to take iron supplements to fix your low energy—but they're not helping—this conversation will open your eyes. I share my journey from what I was taught in pharmacy school to what I’ve now learned through functional and root cause medicine. You’ll discover how iron overload, not deficiency, is often the real problem—and how this contributes to oxidative stress, poor mitochondrial function, and even chronic conditions like PCOS, endometriosis, and insulin resistance.

We’ll explore how enzymes, copper, and trace minerals like magnesium play a key role in helping your body use iron properly, and how remineralizing can restore your energy from the inside out. You’ll learn practical tips to support your metabolism, avoid harmful iron sources, and why blood donations might be one of the best things you can do for your health. If you’re tired of bandaid solutions and want to feel vibrant again—this episode is for you.

I pray this blesses you!

In this episode, I reflect on my own health journey—from obsessive calorie counting and punishing cardio sessions to discovering a more freeing, faith-filled path to wellness. If you’ve ever thought that being healthy meant restriction, guilt, or rigid routines, you're not alone. I’ve been there, too—and now I know better. Today, I’m breaking down the 7 key habits I’ve seen in the healthiest and busiest moms I know. These women aren’t perfect—but they are vibrant, grounded, and thriving.

We’ll talk about everything from nourishing your gut, eating whole foods, and moving with joy—not stress—to making space for prayer, gratitude, and deep rest. This isn’t another "do more" checklist. It’s a reminder that your health is a gift and a tool for living out your purpose. Whether you’re overwhelmed, just starting out, or need a reboot, this episode will inspire you to make sustainable changes—rooted in truth, not trends.

Is the keto diet the magic solution for weight loss—or is it another trend that leaves women feeling drained, deprived, and imbalanced? In this episode, we’re diving deep into what keto actually is, how it impacts your hormones, gut health, and metabolism, and why not all keto is created equal. From dirty to clean keto, we’ll unpack the marketing hype, the science behind ketosis, and the very real effects these diets can have on your energy, digestion, and long-term health.

I also share my personal journey of chasing quick fixes with processed “keto-friendly” foods. We’ll talk about hormone-friendly keto strategies, the dangers of extreme restriction, and why fiber, whole foods, and a cyclical approach may be the key to sustainable success. If you’re a woman trying to make sense of it all, this episode will give you the clarity (and confidence) to nourish your body in a way that works for you.

If you’ve ever felt like sugar has a hold on you, you’re not alone—and you’re definitely not weak. In this episode, I’m opening up about my own journey from sugar obsession to sweet freedom. We’ll talk about why cravings happen (it’s not always lack of willpower), how sugar affects your gut and metabolism, and the sneaky ways it’s been hijacking your energy, mood, and weight loss efforts. I’ll share the small but powerful changes I made that helped me retrain my taste buds, stabilize my blood sugar, and finally feel in control again.

You’ll also get the real scoop on sugar-free alternatives—what to use, what to avoid, and why some “healthy” options may be doing more harm than good. Plus, I’ll share practical tips to enjoy treats without the guilt, including how to time your sweets for less blood sugar impact and my go-to low-sugar swaps. Whether you’re looking to cut back, ditch the sugar addiction, or simply make smarter choices, this episode will give you tools, hope, and a big dose of encouragement.

In this episode, we’re peeling back the layers on GLP-1—the powerful hormone your body already produces that helps regulate blood sugar, curb cravings, and support weight loss. While drugs like Ozempic have brought GLP-1 into the spotlight, the truth is, your body is not broken—it just needs the right support. 

We’ll explore how gut health, protein intake, strength training, sleep, and stress all play a role in naturally optimizing your GLP-1 levels. You’ll also learn why relying solely on medication might set you up for weight regain and muscle loss—and how to avoid that path.

Whether you’re currently using a GLP-1 agonist or simply looking for sustainable weight loss strategies, this episode is for you. I share real tools and practices I use with my clients to reduce food noise, improve satiety, and build an amazing metabolism. From the right probiotics to strength training and spiritual mindset work, you’ll walk away with action steps you can take today. 

It’s not about willpower—it’s about understanding your body and nourishing it well. Book a free call to learn how to work with me and join our incredible health coaching community! (www.callwithsara.com)

Are you constantly tired, craving carbs, and frustrated with stubborn weight that just won’t come off—no matter how healthy you think you're eating? You might be dealing with insulin resistance, and chances are, no one has explained it to you this way before. 

In this episode, I share my personal journey from pharmacist to functional medicine advocate, and how I went from thinking insulin resistance only applied to diabetics… to realizing it was one of the hidden forces sabotaging my own health. 

We’ll unpack how insulin should work, what happens when your body stops responding to it, and why it completely derails your metabolism, mood, and energy.

You’ll learn the top symptoms to watch for, the labs to request, and—most importantly—how to start reversing insulin resistance with practical, real-life changes. Plus, grab my free Eat Clean Snack List (below) to start making blood sugar-friendly swaps today—no guesswork needed!

Is your birth control silently wrecking your energy, mood, and metabolism? In this eye-opening episode, I’m diving deep into a topic I’m deeply passionate about—not just as a former pharmacist, but as a woman who’s been there. 

You’ll hear my personal story of how birth control impacted my health, and why so many women I’ve worked with are dealing with the aftershocks of post-birth control syndrome. We’ll break down how the pill affects your hormones, gut health, and metabolism—contributing to symptoms like chronic fatigue, mood swings, weight struggles, acne, and irregular cycles. This isn’t about being anti-birth control—it’s about being pro-informed so you can make empowered choices for your body.

We’re covering what you weren’t told at the doctor’s office, how synthetic hormones disconnect your brain from your ovaries, and why masking symptoms with medication can worsen the root issue—whether that’s blood sugar instability, gut dysfunction, or nutrient deficiencies. I’ll also walk you through real, actionable steps you can take to begin restoring your energy, balance your hormones naturally, and feel confident in your body again. 

If this episode resonates with you, please share it with a friend or on social media. Your story and your healing journey could inspire someone else to start theirs.

In this eye-opening episode, we’re diving into the not-so-happy side of happy hour. From gut health and metabolism to hormone balance and sleep, alcohol has a bigger impact on your body than you might realize. 

I share my personal story of discovering liver inflammation through a thermogram and unpack the science behind how alcohol can disrupt the gut lining, fuel candida overgrowth, spike cravings, and interfere with your body’s ability to process nutrients and hormones. Whether it's leaky gut, disrupted sleep, or estrogen dominance, there's a lot more going on behind that glass of wine than meets the eye.

But this isn’t about quitting altogether—it’s about drinking smarter. I’ll walk you through practical tips for improving your alcohol consumption, reducing hangover symptoms, and even enjoying social settings with mocktail alternatives and functional drink swaps. 

Plus, we touch on the virtue of temperance and the power of feeling good—physically, mentally, and spiritually—when you choose to consume more consciously. If you've ever wondered how alcohol really affects your body or want to enjoy your summer drinks without sabotaging your health, this episode is for you.

I pray this blesses you!

In this episode, we dive deep into the powerful role muscle plays in our overall health, especially as we age. 

If you’ve ever hated cardio (like me!) and thought lifting was just for bodybuilders, this episode will flip that mindset. I share my personal journey of ditching the idea of long runs and embracing strength training—and how it made me feel strong without the breathless misery. 

We bust the myth that lifting makes women bulky and highlight how building muscle actually improves hormone balance, boosts metabolism, and supports gut health. From increasing testosterone levels (yes, women need it too!) to lowering insulin and supporting bone density, muscle is truly metabolic gold.

If you’re in your 30s or beyond, resistance training shouldn’t be optional—it’s essential. We talk about simple ways to get started. 

Muscle loss doesn’t have to be your future. Feel the difference in your clothes, energy, and confidence. It’s never too late to begin—join us in the May Momentum Program. Book a call at www.callwithsara.com

The best time to start was years ago. The second best time is now.

Hey friend—if you’ve ever found yourself knee-deep in peanut M&Ms, snapping at your family, dragging through the day with zero energy, or wondering why your metabolism feels stuck... this episode is for you.

I’m sharing my own story of sugar cravings, mood swings, and feeling totally off—and how gut health was at the center of it all. From detox struggles to functional medicine breakthroughs, I’ll walk you through what I wish I’d known sooner.

We’ll share simple swaps you can make today to feel better—mind, body, and spirit.

📖 Quotes to Remember:

“The human body has a ringmaster... It controls your digestion, your immunity, your brain, your weight, your health, and even your happiness. This ringmaster is the gut.” — Nancy Mure

“Be who God meant you to be and you will set the world on fire.” — St. Catherine of Siena

💛 Final Thoughts:

For years, I wasn’t living my full potential—not because I didn’t want to—but because I didn’t feel well. Now that I’ve healed, I want the same for you. We have work to do—God’s work—and that starts by taking care of the body He gave us.

I pray this blesses you!

With love,

In this episode, we’re diving deep into the world of intermittent fasting—what it is, how it works, and how it can support weight loss, hormone balance, and more energy, especially for busy women like you. I’m breaking down four of the most common questions I hear all the time, like “Am I doing this right?” or “Will this work for me?” 

Whether you’ve been curious about fasting or feeling unsure if it’s safe (especially if you’ve said, “But I have low blood sugar!”), this episode is packed with helpful insights, real talk, and simple strategies to help you do fasting the right way.

We’ll chat about everything from how fasting taps into stored fat for energy, the role of ketones and growth hormone, to the incredible benefits of autophagy, better sleep, and even gut repair.

As Christian women, we discover the ways you can break through the desire to turn to food for comfort, sadness, and boredom.

Today’s episode highlights four ways for busy moms to boost their energy (and productivity) and feel confident again.  

Recording this episode left me with all the feelings!  

I had to revisit my past experience with low energy and confidence.

Too many nights of coming home and wanting to plop down on the couch and veg. Too many frustrating shopping trips, searching for new clothes because the old ones no longer fit comfortably.

Can you relate? 

To add, I had seen so much health information and advice out there but had no idea how to apply it to my life. Where should I even start?  

I went back to school and after years of learning nutrition and functional medicine, it all became clear to me.  

Today, I give you 4 steps to help you move forward so you can regain your energy and lose the weight you’ve been wanting to lose!

Today I’m excited to talk about a VERY common problem I see (especially in women) -  candida overgrowth… Even if you have no idea what this means- you will want to listen!  

1 in 3 Americans has candida overgrowth and it can be one of the many contributors to our gut health issues!  

Symptoms like weight gain, fatigue, chronic sinus infections, skin issues, and sugar cravings are signs of candida overgrowth in our gut!  It not only affects how we feel day-to-day but it also can lead to worsening problems in the future.  

Find out what causes candida overgrowth and what Nourish Health Coaching is doing to get to the root of the issue!

Were you aware that the American College of Obstetricians and Gynecologists now sees our monthly cycle as a vital sign?  Like our blood pressure and pulse, as women, our menstrual cycle is a sign of our health.  

If you or someone you love struggles with any of these issues, I encourage you to listen and share.  So many women deal with this on a monthly basis and there are natural solutions!

Today’s episode is all about IBS.  IBS is NO JOKE… but the way it’s being treated is.  By that, I mean masking symptoms but not getting to the root of the problem. 

Often we think of IBS as just the “bathroom” symptoms. And those are nothing to be taken lightly (constipation, diarrhea, bloating, gas, abdominal pain...)

But IBS (aka poor gut health) can be SO MUCH more…It is also low energy, poor moods, brain fog, sugar cravings, weight loss resistance, anxiety, depression, pain (even fibromyalgia)

If you have been told you have IBS or you suffer from any of the symptoms listed above, I’m going to share 3 ways you can improve your symptoms starting today to begin feeling amazing again.  

I pray this empowers and educates you!

Hey listeners! 

Today’s episode is about Separation Season.  Late November and December are when we tend to get lazier, we let our good habits go, and we fall back into the rut of low energy, poor moods, and a sluggish metabolism. 

I’m here to remind you it doesn’t have to be that way!  

What if instead of getting further from our goals this December, we actually got closer to them? 

What if you were able to feel peace and joy this holiday season instead of chaos and overwhelm?  

I’ll share tips for you to gain health, lose weight and grow closer to your Creator this holiday season!  

I pray this empowers and educates you!

Today we discuss the hormone that is largely responsible for weight gain, poor moods, and low energy: INSULIN!!!  

When we gain control of our blood sugars (and therefore our insulin), we become fat burners with great moods and lots of energy!

I pray this empowers and educates you!

Hey Listeners!

In this episode, you will hear my story and how I went from living with little energy and motivation to increasing my vitality to fully live out God’s purpose for my life. Because of this journey He put me on, I am blessed to be able to teach others how to elevate their lives by improving their gut, metabolic, and hormone health.  

I know many other women are suffering from the same low energy, mood swings, weight gain, and brain fog that I was. I wanted to do this podcast to increase awareness of topics I was never taught in medical school. What took me years to learn, I am now able to teach you in just weeks.  If you’re ready to feel amazing again, stay right here.  We will learn simple and sustainable solutions without pharmaceuticals and side effects that will leave you full of energy and vitality!

I know what you’re going through.  You’re tired of being tired.  You are frustrated with how impatient you’ve become with your family.  Your lack of motivation is keeping you from the life you imagined.  You desire more energy, better moods, and improved mental clarity. You want to feel more comfortable in your own skin again. You know God created you for more!

You are in the right place. I was in your shoes, and what took me years to discover, I can teach you in weeks. Little did I know that my gut, hormonal, and metabolic health were leaving me with little vitality. I learned the simple and sustainable steps to improve those areas of my life, and now I'm blessed to help people in that same way. My mission is to empower YOU to make changes that will transform your life so you can live more abundantly.  

Grab your ear buds and lace up your shoes… let’s go on a walk!  It’s time to rediscover your health!
