The fitness industry has made women’s health feel unnecessarily complicated. We’re told to cycle-sync our workouts, avoid training fasted, wear weighted vests, track every body-composition metric and constantly adjust our routines based on hormones, cortisol and the latest wellness trend.
In this episode, Dr. Lauren Colenso-Semple, PhD,  joins us to separate fitness fact from social media fiction. We break down whether women actually need to train differently than men, what cycle syncing gets wrong, whether walking counts as exercise, and what strength training and cardio should realistically look like.
We also get into creatine, protein needs in midlife, HRT and muscle loss, body recomposition, DEXA scans, smart scales, grip strength, weighted vests, fasted workouts and the growing and concerning-world of unregulated wellness peptides.

For so many women, midlife becomes the moment they feel like they need to control their bodies more.
Eat less. Cut carbs. Increase protein. Start fasting. Fix your cortisol. Track everything.
But what if perimenopause and menopause are not the time to start another diet?
In this episode, we’re joined by Dr. Jenn Salib Huber, a naturopathic doctor, registered dietitian, menopause nutritionist, and author of Eat to Thrive During Menopause, for a refreshing conversation about intuitive eating through midlife.
We talk about why perimenopause can create a second wave of body dissatisfaction, how years of dieting can disconnect women from their hunger and fullness cues, and what it actually means to rebuild trust with your body.
Dr. Jenn breaks down the difference between eating whatever you want and true intuitive eating, why satisfaction is such an important part of nutrition, and how restriction can fuel the exact overeating patterns women are trying to avoid.
We also get into the biggest midlife nutrition conversations happening online, including metabolism changes, protein, carbohydrates, soy, dairy, creatine, calcium, intermittent fasting, “cortisol belly,” and whether women really need to completely overhaul the way they eat during perimenopause and menopause.
This episode is not about ignoring nutrition or giving up on your health. It is about learning how to nourish yourself without spending the next several decades tracking, restricting, and constantly feeling like your body is a problem that needs to be fixed.

We're more connected than ever before... so why does it feel like everyone is exhausted, anxious, overwhelmed, and lonely?
This week on Girls Gone Wellness, we're joined by renowned psychologist, bestselling author, and speaker Dr. Jody Carrington for one of the most thought-provoking conversations we've ever had.
Together, we unpack why we're living through a loneliness epidemic, how constant notifications and technology are keeping our nervous systems in a perpetual state of stress, and why our brains simply weren't designed for the way we live today.
We also dive into:
Why loneliness, not mental illness, may be the bigger crisis.
What social media is really doing to our brains.
The importance of emotional regulation (and why you can't just tell someone to "calm down").
Modern dating, relationships, and why connection feels harder than ever.
Practical ways to regulate your nervous system and reconnect with yourself and the people around you.
This is one of those episodes that will make you look at your phone, your relationships, your daily habits, and even your own nervous system completely differently.
If you've ever felt burnt out, disconnected, or like life just feels... heavier than it used to, this conversation is for you.

You can be an incredible clinician and still have no idea how to run a business, and that’s exactly where so many new practitioners get stuck.
In this episode, we’re joined by Dr. Meghan Walker to talk about the part of healthcare education that rarely gets enough attention- how to actually build a practice that is sustainable, profitable, and impactful.
We get into the uncomfortable but necessary conversations around charging for care, pricing your services, building demand, creating a personal brand, and why “I just want to help people” cannot be your entire business strategy. We also talk about niching, social media, email lists, AI tools, burnout, and the systems that help practitioners take their time back without lowering the quality of care.
Whether you’re a student, new grad, clinician, or entrepreneur in the wellness space, this episode is your reminder that making money and helping people are not opposites and building a real business might be one of the most powerful ways to get your work into more people’s hands.
