  • When Symptoms Are a Gift: TMS, Ketosis & Letting Go of Fear | Episode 299
    Feb 18 2026

    In this episode, I’m sharing something deeply personal — my recent move, my allergy journey, and how I’m continuing to lean into the mind-body (TMS) lens when symptoms flare up.

    If you’ve ever felt like your symptoms don’t fully “make sense” — reacting one day but not the next, feeling worse in a “safe” place than a moldy one — this conversation will resonate.

    I walk you through how I’m choosing to see my allergies as TMS (mind-body symptoms), what that actually looks like in real time, and how I’m holding the experience lightly instead of reacting with fear.

    We also dive into coaching around:

    • Feeling stuck in low-carb purgatory
    • Fear around tracking and food control
    • Resistance to getting a ketone monitor
    • Digestive struggles while increasing fat
    • Gallbladder support without pushing detox too hard
    • Why ketosis can feel restrictive — but actually create freedom
    • The nervous system side of metabolic healing

  • Why Healing Blood Sugar Isn’t About Doing More (And What Actually Helps) | Episode 298
    Feb 11 2026

    In this episode, I’m sharing a deeper look into what actually helps blood sugar heal - especially for those dealing with hypoglycemia, weight loss resistance, anxiety, and feeling stuck in “low-carb purgatory.”

    This conversation comes from a Blood Sugar Mastery coaching call, where we explore why healing often requires doing the opposite of what we’ve been taught: eating more often, slowing down, reducing restriction, and prioritizing safety in the body over control.

    I talk about why weight loss and hypoglycemia often clash, why forcing restriction can keep symptoms alive, and how the body only lets go of weight when it feels safe enough to do so.

    We also dive into the emotional and nervous-system side of metabolic health — how fear, urgency, and micromanagement can keep the body in a stress response, and why addressing the mind-body connection is essential for lasting healing.

    In This Episode, We Cover:

    • Why hypoglycemia and weight loss often feel at odds with each other
    • How eating more (not less) can be part of healing blood sugar
    • Why the body holds on to weight when it doesn’t feel safe
    • What “low-carb purgatory” is — and why it feels so awful
    • The difference between fear-driven restriction and therapeutic ketosis
    • Why ketosis must be approached slowly and intentionally for hypoglycemics
    • How macronutrient balance can support stable energy, mood, and sleep
    • The importance of minerals, digestion, and fat tolerance during healing
    • How fear, perfectionism, and people-pleasing show up in chronic health issues
    • Why micromanaging food, carbs, and protocols can increase stress instead of healing
    • How emotional safety and self-trust change the healing process
    • Why symptoms can sometimes be the body “speaking” or setting boundaries

  • The Number One Hidden Factor Blocking Your Blood Sugar Healing that No One is Talking About | Episode 297
    Jan 21 2026

    So many people come to me feeling completely stuck.

    They’ve tried everything — every diet, every supplement, every practitioner, every protocol.
    They track. They monitor. They micromanage. They try harder.

    And yet… their blood sugar still isn’t improving.

    In this episode, I want to share a pattern I see over and over again with the people who are struggling the most — and it might surprise you.

    Fear.

    Not fear as weakness — but fear as a state the body is living in.

    When we approach our health from fear — fear of food, fear of symptoms, fear of getting it wrong, fear of our own bodies — we create an internal environment that is not safe enough for healing.

    And the body will not heal in a state of constant surveillance.

    In This Episode, We Talk About:

    • Why the most “complex” blood sugar cases often have nothing to do with food
    • How fear shows up as micromanagement, self-surveillance, and over-intervention
    • Why constantly tracking, fixing, and correcting can keep you stuck
    • How the nervous system and mitochondria respond to perceived threat
    • The connection between suppressed emotions and physical symptoms
    • Why perfectionism, people-pleasing, and high-achieving traits show up so often in blood sugar issues
    • How fear around food, toxins, carbs, and supplements can backfire
    • The difference between healing from fear vs healing from love
    • What it actually means to “come from a place of love” with your body
    • How self-compassion, curiosity, and patience change the healing process
    • Why symptoms can sometimes be your body setting boundaries for you
    • How emotional safety plays a role in blood sugar regulation
