Empowered + Sustained Weight Loss with Dr. Jessie Heymeyer EP203 Jul 25, 2023

Show notes

The unfortunate truth is that most weight-loss strategies don’t work long term, and some can even make matters worse when it comes to our health and hormones. Anyone who has ever dieted and has had those lost pounds return, knows the frustration that can bring. Most of us assume the reason is just a lack of discipline or a failure of willpower. We don't always realize that it could be linked to hormone imbalance.
In this episode, Cody speaks with Dr. Jessie Hehmeyer, the physician founder of Well Empowered where she practices data-driven, outcome-oriented Functional Medicine. In this episode, we discuss how you can improve your lifestyle and nutrition to positively benefit your health and/or weight loss goals with a root-cause, natural medicine approach.

Dr. H created Well Empowered with one commitment in mind: Guiding you to create the health and vitality that transforms your experience of life and alters what is possible for you. Through working one-on-one, with groups, or in delivering corporate webinars, Dr. H provides the information, inspiration and strategies needed to produce sustainable and transformative health outcomes.

Dr. H earned her Master of Science in Human Nutrition and Functional Medicine from the University of Western States, Doctorate in Chiropractic Medicine from National University of Health Sciences, and Bachelor of Arts from UCLA. She is an IFM Certiﬁed Practitioner, a Licensed Dietitian Nutritionist, and a Certiﬁed Nutrition Specialist. In her spare time, you will ﬁnd Dr. H with her husband, Chris, doing yoga, hiking, strength training, traveling or preparing a beautiful, healthy meal for loved ones.

In this episode, you will learn:

How to manage emotional or binge eating
Mastering your middle-ground to ditch the broken “all or nothing” approach
How to create the vision for your life to become more clear on your health and wellness goals
Do fad diets actually work?
Chasing progress over perfection with your habits and lifestyle
A radical new approach to your health journey: being kind AND honest
Shame VS Regret – one is helpful (hint, it’s not shame!)

… and more!

Are you feeling the weight of your negative mindset keeping you from being intentional and present in your day-to-day life.

Are you a perfectionist? Do you often find yourself striving for excellence, but feel like you can never quite reach that perfect standard? While it’s admirable to have high expectations, perfectionism can actually be harmful to our mental health and well-being. It can cause us to feel stressed, anxious, and overly self-critical, and it can even prevent us from taking risks and pursuing our goals. It’s important to do what we can to ditch perfectionism and find balance.

The good news is that there are ways to overcome perfectionism and learn to embrace imperfection. In this episode, we’ll explore why perfectionism can be damaging and how to break free from its grip. Cody invited guest Emily Engemann, Co-Host of Little Bits of Awesome Podcast, Fitness Expert and co-creator of the Kass and Emily Fitness App. Emily and Cody share practical tips and strategies for setting realistic goals, shifting your mindset, and learning to accept mistakes and failures as opportunities for growth. These tips helped us all let go of perfectionism and start living a more fulfilling, balanced life!

What's the first thing that comes to mind when you think about hormones? If you're like most people, it's probably your period or reproduction. But did you know that hormones have a significant impact on your brain?

Sex hormones like estrogen, progesterone, and testosterone are involved with brain development even before birth and play a role in memory, mood, and overall cognitive function throughout your life.

In this episode, Cody does a deep dive, and we are going to explore what we know about hormones and the female brain, how they influence brain health, and what happens when these hormones fall out of balance.

Personal Growth Looks Good On You! with Gina Trimmer EP198 Jun 20, 2023

Show notes

Send us Fan Mail

So many women look at personal growth & development as another thing to prove their worthiness. But real growth is about letting go of what no longer serves us. It is about removing burdens, obligations, and misperceptions of our worth.

When we remove what is no longer needed, we create space to manifest what we want, focus on the things that matter, and fully enjoy our life and work.

And there are a lot of things we carry around that we no longer need: beliefs, behaviors, unworthy thinking, relationships, unhelpful habits, burdens, and more. Personal growth & development for women is about “doing” and “being” less, not more.
When we are operating from worthy thinking, we can look at personal growth & development as an enrichment process. We aren’t inherently “not enough”, but instead we are just enriching the greatness already inside of us and aligning our life and work with this greatness.
On today's episode, Cody invites Personal Development expert, Gina Trimmer to share her thoughts and tips on personal growth.
Gina and her family went from living the "American Dream" life to losing it all in the recession. In what they thought was the darkest time, they made the decision to change all of those bad habits of overspending and consumerism into budgeting and saving every penny. This "new" lifestyle allowed them the opportunity to invest and create multiple businesses that made it possible {6 years later} for them to retire by the age of 34/36 and spend the next years traveling across the world, hitting over 40 countries and having endless adventures along the way.

They settled back down in Utah while Gina was pregnant with her youngest son, but they have plans to begin traveling long-term again in July 2023! Gina documented her travels on her wildly popular IG @pure.imperfection. She has recently transitioned to the Podcaster life and you can find her podcast IG at @revitalizedwomanhood.

Gina is passionate about personal development, creating community, and empowering women. She is the founder of Revitalized Womanhood, which aims to promote all three of these ideals and so much more. You can learn all about Revitalized Womanhood and the private community of the Revitalized Sisterhood at www.revitalizedwomanhood.com

Show notes

Send us Fan Mail

Do your fluctuating hormones have you staring at your bedroom ceiling instead of getting a good night’s sleep? The National Sleep Foundation reports nearly half of women in midlife say they have trouble sleeping. Poor sleep quality affects many areas of your life—your daytime alertness, mental sharpness, irritability, mood swings, and interest in sex. And it makes you more susceptible to chronic diseases and weight gain.
On today's episode, Cody has invited Dr. Valerie Cacho to share her expertise with us. Her expertise includes: diagnosing and treating medical sleep disorders during perimenopause and menopause, women's sleep concerns, mind-body approaches to insomnia, self-compassion training, clinical hypnotherapy, and promoting sleep health and wellness. She is the president and founder of Sleep Life Med, a tele-sleep practice in Hawaii and California. Additionally, Dr. Cacho is the CEO of Sleephoria, an online educational and sleep wellness company for women.
