  All-or-Nothing Eating Is Keeping You Stuck: The 80/20 Nutrition Fix That Actually Sticks with Francesca Scerbo

  Sep 20, 20261h 5m

  Send us Fan Mail If you’re anything like me, you thrive on structure, control, and routine—until that same drive turns your nutrition into a rigid checklist that works against you. In this episode, nutrition coach and clinical expert Francesca Scerbo joins me to break down why rigid, all-or-nothing eating holds women back, and how adopting an 80/20 mindset with a few key elements in mind creates lasting results. Francesca—who overcame a teenage battle with anorexia before founding her company, Balanced Nutrition—explains why one-size-fits-all nutrition rules fail women and what a truly personalized, adaptive approach looks like. She busts common nutrition myths, revealing why food sensitivity tests can mislead you, how to hit your fiber targets without relying on supplements, the hidden hydration mistake that mimics hunger, and the label-reading trick to bypass ‘protein-washed’ marketing. This episode dives into specific, no-fluff tools Francesca and Erin use to stop guessing and start nourishing your body with confidence.

  Why Your Workouts Stopped Working (And What Actually Fixes It) with Dr. Carla DiGirolamo

  Aug 30, 202657 min

  Send us Fan Mail You did the workout, you ate "clean,” and your body still isn't responding the way it used to. So what changed? In this episode, I sit down with Dr. Carla DiGirolamo, a double Board-Certified Obstetrician/Gynecologist and Reproductive Endocrinologist specializing in caring for active and high-performing women, to unpack what's really happening to active women's bodies in mid-life and beyond. We get into why hypothyroidism can be misdiagnosed because of chronic underfueling, what LEA and RED-S are (and why most doctors have never heard of them), hot takes on microdosing GLP-1s and muscle/bone loss for midlife women, and how HRT, testosterone therapy, and IUDs actually fit together. This isn't a decline — it's a detour, and it comes with a new playbook.

  Peptides for Women: A Foundations-First Guide with Jennifer Woodward

  Aug 2, 202656 min

  Send us Fan Mail Peptides are having a moment — GLP-1s, BPC-157, growth hormone secretagogues (GHSs) — but most of what you're hearing skips the part that actually matters: none of it works if your foundations aren't in place. Jennifer Woodward, a Certified Functional Diagnostic Nutrition Practitioner and Board Certified Functional Wellness Coach, and host of Peptides for Women, joins Erin to break down what peptides actually are, which ones have helped her and the women she works with, and why she requires protein, minerals, strength training, and sleep basics before adding peptides. She also shares which ones are worth your money in midlife — from GLP-1s for metabolic reset to the KLOW Stack for joint and gut repair. We also get into the research behind peptides, how to avoid sketchy sourcing, and client stories that show peptides can mean very different things depending on where you're starting from. This one is your foundations-first, no-hype guide to peptides.

  How Women Over 40 Can Lose Fat When Nothing You Used to Do Works Anymore

  Jul 19, 20261h 17m

  Send us Fan Mail Do you feel busier than ever, yet suddenly unable to handle the stress, workouts, and endless to-do lists like you used to? Welcome to life and fitness after 40. In this episode, Erin sits down with Stephanie Crassweller, founder of Vitality OET and Hormone + Menopause Functional Health Coach, to unpack why the strategies that used to keep high-achieving women afloat—pushing harder, cutting more, sleeping less—stop working once hormones start to shift. Stephanie walks through your capacity bucket: why your stress tolerance quietly shrinks in perimenopause even when nothing else in your life has changed, why progesterone (not estrogen) is usually the first hormone to drop, and how years on birth control can leave your body without ever producing it naturally. They also cover why HRT won't fix weight gain on its own, how one bad night of sleep can spike insulin resistance by 25%, and the nervous system resets Stephanie actually uses to stay out of fight-or-flight.

  How to Lose Fat and Build Muscle in Midlife: My Recomp Journey [Solo Episode]

  Jul 5, 20261h 5m

  Send us Fan Mail If you’ve tried to lose weight after kids and found that the old playbook from your 20s and 30s isn’t working, this episode is for you. In this solo episode, I share my personal journey inside a dedicated body recomposition program, which helped me lose fat and build muscle in just 6 months. After years of overtraining and under-fueling—which eventually led to a wrecked metabolism, hormones and energy crashes—I realized the playbook of ‘move more eat less’ was not going to work in midlife. In this episode, I break down the exact methods I used to lose 10 pounds, heal my metabolism, balance my hormones, and build real muscle. I break down this episode into three main sections—nutrition, fitness and lifestyle. I talk about reverse dieting—the strategy where you incrementally increase your daily caloric intake by 50 to 100 calories each week to heal your metabolism, restore hormonal balance, and prepare your body to be in a state where it can lose weight. Whether you want to lose fat, build muscle, or heal your metabolism, this episode is a full playbook on what body recomp entails!
