In this week's Rebel Wellness episode, I’m getting real about one of the biggest roadblocks I see people face on their health journeys: relying solely on traditional healthcare. Today, I'm examining the common mistakes I see people make when navigating their path to wellness through mainstream medical systems. I'll discuss the importance of building a diverse healthcare team, including not just traditional practitioners, but also functional medicine doctors, integrative specialists, and other complementary professionals who can provide a more holistic, root-cause approach to health.
From the differences between upstream and downstream healthcare philosophies to the pros and cons of testing options and insurance limitations, this episode unpacks why you might need more than your primary care physician to optimize your well-being. I also share real-life examples from my own experience with clients, including the need for advocacy, self-investment, and the power of individualized care. Join me for an empowering conversation about taking control of your health, advocating for what your body needs, and finding practitioners who will support you in building a long-lasting, vibrant life. Let’s go beyond band-aid solutions and take your health seriously from every angle!

In this episode, I dive into a topic that’s been blowing up on TikTok and the health trend corners of the internet – “cortisol face.” You might have seen the trending term, but is there really such a thing? Today, I break down the science behind cortisol, its role in stress response, and how it might be influencing your appearance (and no, it’s not just your face).
We’ll explore how chronic stress, poor sleep, and lifestyle habits can lead to puffiness, stubborn body fat (especially in the belly), and yes, a bloated, tired look you might be blaming on cortisol. I’ll share tips for naturally managing inflammation, rebalancing your hormones, and improving your well-being through hydration, nutrition, and stress management. Plus, I’ll explain why you should pay attention to lifestyle factors like alcohol, diet, and sleep if you’re seeing these physical changes.
If you’ve been feeling off and think cortisol might be to blame, this episode will give you practical tools to regain control of your body’s natural rhythms. And if lifestyle tweaks aren’t cutting it, I discuss when it might be time to see a healthcare professional to check for underlying conditions like thyroid imbalances or Cushing’s syndrome.

In this episode of Rebel Wellness, I’m joined by a very special guest—my podcast editor, Emily Parent. Emily’s behind-the-scenes work has made every episode of this podcast sound as professional as it does, and today, she’s joining us to share her personal journey of growth, strength, and self-discovery. We talk about how Emily’s fitness journey started in 2021 when she first became my client, and how her path from strength training to weightlifting helped her transform physically and mentally. She shares candidly about overcoming codependence, the relationship between her body and her anxious mind, and the pivotal role that finding strength—both in the gym and in life—played in her journey to selfhood.
We also discuss how Emily recently took a big leap to follow her passion as a writer. She recently published her debut book of poetry, Butterfly Net, exploring themes of trauma, self-realization, and growth through her hand-illustrated poems. From navigating discomfort during workouts to embracing the unexpected healing that came with yoga and creative expression, Emily’s story is an inspiring example of how pushing through discomfort can lead to profound personal transformation.

In this episode of Rebel Wellness, I’m taking a step back from the usual nutrition, fitness, and science chats to share something personal: my journey through burnout and into what I’m calling my 'soft girl season.' As ambitious women, we often get caught up in the hustle, constantly pushing ourselves to the limit in the name of success. Today, I want to talk about what happens when we do that for too long and how it can affect our health, relationships, and overall well-being.
I'm pulling back the curtain on my own story, from my early days of building a business on my own to the burnout and health issues that arose from being in 'boss babe' mode for years. I explore the concept of 'soft girl season,' a term that originated among Nigerian influencers and has evolved into a movement for women seeking balance, self-care, and a slower pace. I reflect on how this season aligns perfectly with the autumnal shift—a time to slow down, take inventory of our lives, and embrace what truly nourishes our souls.
Join me as I discuss the importance of stepping out of survival mode, listening to your body, and reconnecting with what makes you feel alive. This episode is for every woman who's ever felt the pressure to keep hustling, even when her body and soul are crying out for rest. Let's take this journey together toward finding a healthier, more sustainable balance in our lives.
