Ep. 67 Life Update: Loss & Letting Go, Relationships, & The Ketamine Retreat That Changed Me & 9 Perfect Strangers Jul 28, 2025

Show notes

I didn’t plan this update, but it needed to happen. Life has felt messy, chaotic, beautiful, grounding, and grief-filled all at once. In this episode, I open up about everything I’ve been walking through, healing after loss, navigating love, facing my truth, and running a retreat that cracked me (and nine other brave women) wide open. This is raw. It’s personal. And it’s real. I’m learning to stop betraying myself just to keep others comfortable, and I’m finally breathing again. If you’ve been waiting for the next life update, this is the one. I’m not who I was…and maybe, neither are you.

Ep. 66 Are Weight Loss Injections Safe? GLP-1, Peptides, Hormone Therapy, & Anti-Aging Explained | Denver Lane Jul 14, 2025

Show notes

I’ve been a skeptic of weight loss shots for years… As a health and fitness pro, I’ve always believed in movement, nutrition, and mindset over quick fixes. But my brother, Denver Lane, founder of Nulevel Wellness, has been nudging me to at least have the conversation.

So we did. On air.

In this raw and honest episode, Denver and I dive into the truth behind weight loss injections like semaglutide and tirzepatide—the good, the bad, and the myths that need busting. We talk about:

What these medications really do in the body
Why coaching and nutrition support are non-negotiable
How hormone optimization plays into long-term wellness
The risks of muscle loss, undernourishment, and going it alone
And yes… the future of aging well

It’s one of the most important (and controversial) health convos I’ve had, and it might just change your perspective like it’s starting to change mine.

About Denver Lane:

Denver Lane is a serial entrepreneur and wellness visionary who co-founded Nulevel Wellness, one of the fastest-growing clinics in Arizona specializing in hormone optimization, peptide therapy, and personalized wellness plans. With a background in real estate and a lifelong passion for health, Denver combines sharp business acumen with a deep commitment to helping people live better, longer lives.

His journey into functional medicine began over a decade ago when he was faced with the terrifying possibility of a brain tumor. That moment became a powerful wake-up call, prompting Denver to dive headfirst into understanding hormones, health, and human optimization. What started as a personal health scare turned into a mission to create a better, more accessible model of care—and Nulevel Wellness was born.

Oh, and fun fact…He happens to have the best sister in the world. 😉

Show notes

I’ve never had a conversation quite like this one. In this episode, I sit down with Dr. Radhika Sharma, an incredible OB-GYN, wellness coach, and host of the Double Scrub podcast, who’s become not just a guest but a true friend. We talk about everything women are too embarrassed to ask: perimenopause, hormones, vaginal health, low libido, dryness, aging, and how to feel good again. Nothing is off-limits. You’ll hear anonymous questions from real women, questions I’ve asked myself too. If you’ve ever felt confused, alone, or dismissed this conversation is for you. You’re not broken. There’s help. There’s hope.
