Today on Far From Perfect, I'm talking with Tara Woodland, a Functional Medicine Nurse Practitioner, Amazing right? Not only that, but she's also a wife, a mother, a Beautycounter Consultant, she home-schools her kids and manages to take care of herself. We are breaking down the difference between conventional medicine and labs vs. functional medicine and labs. I ask Tara specific things she tests for and about HRT. We also dive into burnout, over training and what/how that shows in your body. If you're like me you're not only going to learn from Tara, but you're going to feel 'at home' with her.

What It Really Takes to Change with Karin Nordin, PhD Sep 29, 2023

Show notes

Today on Far From Perfect I am talking with Karin Nordin, who is a Behavior Change Expert. She has her PhD and is CEO of Body Brain Alliance. If you're like me you might recognize her from her work at Precision Nutrition. Karin's work focuses on two things, Helping people approach self help without self hate and helping people close the gap between knowing what to do and actually doing it. This is done by science! She talks to us about how your brain has no distinction between a small task and a HUGE one. We talk about how self help is divided into two polar categories; action focused and how to tap into your inner goddess. She talks to us about how to connect these two sides. We discuss Interbody brain alliance, time management(and what that really means). We also talk about Cognitive Flexibility and her Tips to boost productivity. We even dabble in ADHD. And wait for it...Committing to doing less!!! This is such an amazing conversation that you won't want to miss. Karin offers: Change Academy(which is a DIY), Alliance Coaching (1:1), Meaningful Mornings, and Compassionate Calendar. You can find Karin on instagram @karinnordinphd and her company @bodybrainalliance. This is the book she recommended: Essentialism: The Disciplined Pursuit of Less, by Greg McKeown.

More about Karin:

Karin is a loving dog mom, funfetti flavor super-fan, and self-help book encyclopedia… and she also happens to be a PhD expert in health behavior change and published mindset theory researcher. After graduating with her doctorate, Karin had a striking realization: The typical self-help and productivity approaches of the personal development industry were shockingly inconsistent with the actual research on change. That inconsistency became the fuel for her business Body Brain Alliance, where she’s on a mission to teach compassion-first change techniques that help dedicated self-improvers become their 2.0 selves.

As part of that mission, Body Brain Alliance provides programs for change enthusiasts, as well as high level education on curriculum design and coaching practices for impact-first entrepreneurs. To make it simple: We teach people to change, and we teach coaches how to teach people to change.

In all my years of coaching, I've discovered one thing. Those that are most successful are the ones who master maintenance. If you struggle with maintenance, this episode is for you. I cover what exactly "maintenance" is, why you need to spend the majority of your time here and how you actually be successful in maintenance. I also talk about mistakes people make in maintenance so you know what to look out for. I'd love to hear what additional questions you have on the topic.

The Power to Feel and Look Your Best In Perimenopause with Katy Whalen, Founder of Joi Women's Wellness Sep 08, 2023

Show notes

Katy Whalen is the founder of Joi Women's Wellness and like many of us in our 40's she started feeling less than her best. Her journey to feel better and looking better inspired her to start Joi and help as many women as possible feel better than they ever imagined possible. In this episode I ask Katy why she started Joi, how Joi helps women thrive in perimenopause and what most women come to her struggling with. We also discuss the safety of HRT, the difference between bioidentical and synthetic hormones as well as when you should start HRT and how long you should keep up with it. This episode is extremely informative and I want to help you have all the resources you need in order to help you feel and look your best in every stage of life. There is no one size fits all approach to perimenopause and I hope you find what works best for you!
