The GLP-1 conversation has completely changed the wellness world. What started as a diabetes medication is now being talked about for weight loss, metabolism, cravings, inflammation, and even longevity.

But as more people jump on medications like Ozempic, Wegovy, and Mounjaro, some important questions are getting overlooked. . .

Today, we're talking about:

• The hidden mistake that could make your weight loss backfire
• Why some people lose more than just body fat, but lean tissue
• The nutrient strategy experts say becomes even more important on GLP-1 medications
• The surprising symptom many people can blame on the medication itself (but could not be)
• How to protect your metabolism while losing weight
• Natural ways to support your body's own GLP-1 production
• The connection between your gut bacteria, appetite, and cravings
• Why sleep may be playing a bigger role than you realize

Plus . . . today's feelgood thing.

Lyme disease and tick-borne illness can be a scary thing... and, even scarier - they are on the RISE.

Sometimes we know we've gotten exposed - other times, not so much - and we can go undiagnosed for years ...

With ticks expanding in numbers and areas across North America, more and more people find themselves dealing with everything from flu-like symptoms and joint pain to fatigue, brain fog, neurological symptoms, and chronic illness that can be difficult to explain.

SO - how do you know if a tick bite has become something more serious?
What are the early Lyme disease symptoms to watch for?
And what should you do if you suspect you've been exposed, whether recently or years ago?

Today, I sit down with Lyme disease expert and naturopathic physician Dr. Alexis Chesney, author of Preventing Lyme and Other Tick-Borne Diseases. She has got us COVERED, and after the episode, you will feel much better equipped to deal with what's going on now.

We're covering:

• What Lyme disease actually is and how it's transmitted
• Why Lyme disease cases are increasing across North America
• The truth about the classic bullseye rash
• Early warning signs of Lyme disease that are often overlooked
• How Lyme can affect the brain, nervous system, energy levels, and mood
• Why symptoms can come and go, making diagnosis difficult
• The testing limitations that can lead to missed diagnoses
• The difference between acute Lyme disease and long-term Lyme-related illness (and treatment!)
• Why some people struggle for years before getting answers
• Common tick-borne co-infections including Babesia and Anaplasmosis
• Whether Lyme disease can be fully treated—and why there is more hope than many people realize
• Practical prevention strategies to reduce your risk of tick bites
• The importance of finding a practitioner who understands both the science and complexity of tick-

Fasting trends have officially gone off the rails - and some of them are actually worth knowing about, while others come with side effects nobody seems to be talking about.

So today, we're breaking it all down and cutting through the noise.

We're covering:

• Sardine fasting - the reset trend with a side of gout nobody warned you about Water fasting - the most "true" fast, and why it's not for everyone
• The Fasting Mimicking Diet - the science-backed method where you actually get to eat
• Dopamine fasting - the trend that has nothing to do with food
• Why when you fast matters just as much as how long you fast

Plus, the electrolyte reminder you probably needed heading into summer.

And of course . . . today's feelgood thing.
