For years, women have been told that weight loss is simple: eat fewer calories, burn more calories, and try harder.

So why does it feel so much harder for some of us than it does for others?

In this episode, Michelle challenges the oversimplified “calories in, calories out” advice that has left generations of women blaming themselves for their hunger, cravings, and weight struggles.

Yes, calories matter—but your body is not a calculator. Hunger, fullness, hormones, sleep, stress, muscle mass, food quality, dieting history, medications, and blood-sugar fluctuations can all influence how your body responds to food and restriction.

Michelle also shares her personal experience of watching naturally thin friends effortlessly push away their plates while she was still hungry—and wondering what was wrong with her.

Spoiler: Struggling with hunger doesn’t mean you lack discipline.

In this episode, you’ll learn:

• What “calories in, calories out” gets right—and what it completely leaves out
• Why two meals with the same calories can affect your hunger very differently
• How chronic dieting and calorie restriction can influence appetite and energy expenditure
• What GLP-1 medications reveal about the biology of hunger and food noise
• Why protein, fiber, nourishing fats, sleep, stress, and muscle matter
• How to build meals that leave you nourished and satisfied
• The mindset shift that helped Michelle stop treating hunger like a personal failure
• 
  

The goal isn’t to find the fewest calories you can tolerate. It’s to build meals and habits that help you feel nourished, satisfied, strong, and able to make supportive choices without constantly fighting your body.

Your body needs support—not punishment.

If this episode makes you think of another woman who has spent years blaming herself for struggling with food or weight, please share it with her. And don’t forget to follow the show so you never miss an episode!

If you’re experiencing chronic acid reflux, heartburn or GERD, you may have been told that your body is simply producing too much stomach acid. But what if the real issue isn’t how much acid you have—but why it’s escaping the stomach in the first place?

In this episode of Inspired Wellness Podcast, Michelle and Tabitha sit down with Allison Jordan, a certified Functional Diagnostic Nutrition Practitioner, founder of Better Belly Therapies and host of the top 1% globally ranked Better Belly Podcast.

Allison explains why acid reflux may sometimes be connected to low stomach acid and explores the underlying factors that can make digestive symptoms more common in midlife. The conversation covers possible contributors such as mineral imbalances, H. pylori, slowed gut motility, stress, fascial adhesions, mold exposure and the hormonal changes associated with perimenopause and menopause.

They also discuss proton pump inhibitors, or PPIs: how they reduce stomach-acid production, why they may offer necessary symptom relief and why long-term digestive healing requires looking beyond symptom suppression to understand what is driving the reflux.

In this episode, you’ll learn:

• What is actually happening in the body during acid reflux
• The differences among acid reflux, heartburn and GERD
• Why reflux symptoms can occur even when stomach acid is low
• Why digestive issues may become more noticeable during perimenopause and menopause
• How zinc, copper and stomach acid production may be connected
• The potential roles of H. pylori, stress, mold exposure and slow motility
• What PPIs do and why you should not discontinue them without appropriate medical guidance
• How low stomach acid can affect nutrient digestion and absorption
• How the at-home baking-soda test is sometimes used to gather non-diagnostic information about stomach-acid levels
• Why testing, proper sequencing and a personalized root-cause approach matter

Most importantly, this conversation offers hope: chronic reflux does not necessarily have to become something you simply accept as a permanent part of getting older.

Does your energy disappear by mid-afternoon—especially now that school, sports, work, and fall activities are back in full swing?

You may not need more discipline, another cup of coffee, or a complete wellness overhaul. You may simply be using energy faster than your body can restore it.

In this first short solo episode of Inspired Wellness, Michelle shares three sneaky energy zappers that commonly leave busy women feeling exhausted, foggy, irritable, and dependent on caffeine to make it through the day. More importantly, she offers simple, realistic ways to support steadier energy without a restrictive diet, complicated morning routine, or extra hour in your schedule.

Michelle also shares a big update about the future of Inspired Wellness, including Tabitha’s exciting next chapter, the podcast’s new release schedule, and the additional ways Michelle will be supporting women through personalized coaching, private wellness workshops, mineral testing, and a new bite-sized newsletter.

In this episode, you’ll learn:

• Why treating sleep and recovery as an afterthought can drain your energy
• How to choose one simple “recovery anchor” that helps your body slow down
• Why relying on coffee until you’re ravenous can contribute to blood sugar spikes, crashes, brain fog, and cravings
• How to build a protein-forward first meal with at least 25 grams of protein
• Why a planned “mini meal” may serve you better than another cup of coffee
• How trying to fix everything at once creates even more physical and mental exhaustion
• The one question that can make your week feel 10% more supportive
• What to expect from Inspired Wellness as the podcast enters its next chapter

Your simple energy reset:

1. Choose one recovery anchor.
2. Make your first meal protein-forward.
3. Pick one supportive habit you can realistically repeat this week.

You don’t need a total life overhaul. You need a few supportive habits that still work when life gets busy.

Are you constantly taking care of everyone else while telling yourself you’ll slow down and recover eventually?

For many busy women—especially during perimenopause and menopause—recovery is the first thing pushed aside. But recovery isn’t lazy, indulgent, or limited to professional athletes. It’s an important part of supporting your energy, stress response, physical performance, and overall well-being.

In this episode, Michelle is joined by Ashley Memmolo, General Manager of Pause Studio Southlake, and Hannah Womack, an experienced ER nurse and IV nurse at Pause. Together, they break down several popular wellness and recovery therapies, including infrared sauna, cold plunge, contrast therapy, float therapy, red light therapy, cryotherapy, compression therapy, IV vitamin therapy, vitamin shots, and NAD+.

You’ll learn what each modality involves, what it may help support, and how to decide where to begin—without turning recovery into one more overwhelming item on your to-do list.

In this episode, we discuss:

• Why recovery is important even if you aren’t an athlete
• How chronic busyness can leave women running on empty
• The physical and mental benefits of intentional recovery
• How infrared sauna and cold plunge work together in contrast therapy
• Why cold exposure may support resilience, circulation, and inflammation
• What it’s really like to experience float therapy
• How sensory deprivation may encourage relaxation, clarity, and creativity
• How red light therapy supports cellular energy, skin health, and recovery
• What to expect during whole-body cryotherapy
• How compression therapy may support circulation and lymphatic flow
• The difference between IV vitamin therapy and oral supplementation
• How IV drips, vitamin injections, and NAD+ therapy may be personalized
• How to build recovery into a busy schedule using realistic, sustainable steps

The biggest takeaway? You don’t need to overhaul your entire routine. Your version of recovery might be a three-minute cryotherapy session, ten minutes of red light therapy, or one restorative float each month. The goal is to start with something that genuinely fits your life.

Do you ever feel like you’re busy from the moment you wake up until the moment you go to bed—but still aren’t getting to the things that matter most?

You can be highly organized, have a color-coded calendar and make detailed to-do lists…and still be completely overscheduled.

In this episode, Michelle sits down with time management coach, keynote speaker and It’s About Time podcast host Anna Dearmon Kornick to discuss practical time-management strategies for busy women and working moms. Anna shares the simple 30-minute weekly planning habit that can help you spot scheduling conflicts, reduce your mental load and create a more realistic plan for the week ahead.

You’ll learn why an unfinished to-do list usually isn’t a planner problem, how to distinguish poor organization from genuine overscheduling and why your digital calendar may be one of the best tools for making the school year feel more manageable.

Anna also walks through her four Time Management Personality Types—the Mover and Shaker, Optimist, Firecracker and Architect—and explains why the same productivity system won’t work for everyone.

In this episode, we discuss:

• Why feeling overwhelmed isn’t always caused by poor time management
• The difference between being organized and being overscheduled
• How to complete a 30-minute weekly planning session
• What to include when planning the week ahead
• How to identify scheduling conflicts before they become emergencies
• Why drive time, transition time and “forgetting buffers” belong on your calendar
• How to plan meals and workouts around the week you’re actually having
• Why sharing calendar events can reduce the mental load
• How time blocking reveals what can realistically fit into your day
• The four Time Management Personality Types
• Why buffer blocks and chaos blocks can keep interruptions from derailing your schedule
• How better planning can protect your sleep, movement, nutrition and other healthy habits

This conversation is an important reminder that time management isn’t about squeezing more into an already full day. It’s about creating enough clarity and breathing room to make sure the things that matter most—including your health—don’t keep getting whatever time is left over.

About Anna Dearmon Kornick

Anna Dearmon Kornick is a highly sought-after time management coach, keynote speaker, host of the top-ranked It’s About Time podcast and founder of the It’s About Time Academy. She is also the author of Time Management Essentials.

Through her personality-driven approach to time management, Anna helps busy professionals and business owners overcome overwhelm, spend their time on what matters most and create rhythms that work in real life.

Are fatigue, stubborn weight changes, thinning hair, brain fog, mood swings, sleep disruption, or hot flashes simply an unavoidable part of perimenopause—or could your body be telling you something more?

In the final episode of the Inspired Wellness Method Summer Series, Michelle & Tab explore the powerful connection between hormones, minerals, and common midlife symptoms. Hormonal changes are a normal part of perimenopause and menopause, but hormones don’t operate in isolation. Sleep, stress, blood sugar, nutrition, movement, digestion, and mineral balance all influence how your body produces, converts, and responds to hormones.

Michelle explains why women can have “normal” bloodwork and still feel anything but normal—and why minerals such as magnesium, zinc, copper, calcium, sodium, and potassium can play an important role in energy production, thyroid and adrenal support, insulin signaling, estrogen metabolism, muscle function, and nervous-system regulation.

You’ll also learn about Hair Tissue Mineral Analysis (HTMA), how it differs from standard blood testing, and how mineral patterns and ratios may offer additional insight into stress physiology, metabolic function, and your body’s mineral balance over time.

In this episode, Michelle and Tabitha discuss:

• Why hormones and minerals are deeply connected
• Common signs of hormone or mineral imbalance in midlife
• Why perimenopause symptoms can change from month to month
• Why “normal” hormone labs may not tell the whole story
• How chronic stress can affect hormones and mineral balance
• The role minerals play in energy, metabolism, thyroid function, and adrenal health
• What HTMA testing measures—and what it cannot diagnose
• Why mineral ratios may matter more than a single mineral result
• Which blood tests women may want to discuss with their healthcare providers
• Why supplements should be personalized instead of chosen from generic recommendations
• How the six foundations of health work together
• The official introduction of The Inspired Wellness Method™, Michelle’s new eight-week, one-on-one coaching experience for busy women in midlife

 The biggest takeaway from this entire series: Your body is not broken. It has been communicating with you all along.

Rather than chasing each symptom separately or adding another restrictive plan, Michelle encourages women to support the foundations first—sleep, stress, blood sugar, nutrition, and movement—and then personalize the process based on their individual hormone and mineral picture.

Tests Mentioned in This Episode

Talk with your qualified healthcare provider about whether the following may be appropriate for you:

• Fasting insulin
• Fasting glucose and hemoglobin A1C
• A comprehensive thyroid evaluation, which may include TSH, free T3, free T4, and thyroid antibodies
• Sex hormones such as estradiol, progesterone, testosterone, and DHEA-S
• Hair Tissue Mineral Analysis, or HTMA, as an educational tool for evaluating mineral patterns and ratios

Work With Michelle

The Inspired Wellness Method™ is an eight-week, one-on-one coaching experience designed to help busy women in midlife stop fighting their bodies and start working with them.

Together, you’ll build a realistic wellness foundation around sleep, stress, blood sugar, nutrition, movement, hormones, and minerals—without restrictive diets, complicated tracking, or an all-or-nothing plan you can’t maintain.

For an even more personalized look at your mineral patterns, ask Michelle about adding the Midlife Mineral Blueprint, which includes Hair Tissue Mineral Analysis.

You've been told your whole life that the answer is simple:

 Burn more calories.

You eat pretty healthy.

So why are you still exhausted… struggling to lose weight… dealing with brain fog… or wondering why your hair seems thinner than it used to be?

The answer may not be how much you're eating—it may be what your body is actually getting.

In this fourth episode of our Inspired Wellness Method Summer Reset Series, Michelle breaks down one of the biggest misconceptions in women's health:

Nutrition isn't about dieting. It's about giving your body the raw materials it needs to thrive.

You'll learn why many women in their 40s and 50s are unintentionally undernourished—even when they're trying to "eat healthy"—and how a few simple changes can dramatically improve your energy, hormones, metabolism, mood, and overall health.

In this episode you'll learn:

 Why eating "healthy" isn't always enough in midlife

 Why protein becomes more important after 40

 How healthy fats support estrogen, progesterone, and hormone production

 Why carbohydrates aren't the enemy

 The difference between macronutrients and micronutrients

 Common nutrient deficiencies in women (magnesium, vitamin D, B vitamins, iron, zinc)

 Signs your body may be asking for more nutrition

 Easy ways to increase nutrient density without dieting

 Simple strategies you can start using today

If you're tired of restrictive diets and conflicting nutrition advice, this episode will help you build a healthier relationship with food while supporting your changing body.

Do you crash every afternoon around 2 or 3 PM? Wake up at 3 AM for no apparent reason? Struggle with stubborn belly fat despite eating well and exercising?

It may not be a lack of willpower—it could be your blood sugar.

In Episode 3 of The Inspired Wellness Method™ Summer Reset Series, Michelle explains why blood sugar regulation is one of the biggest missing pieces for women navigating perimenopause and midlife.

• Energy levels
• Hormone balance
• Weight loss
• Belly fat
• Sleep quality
• Stress resilience
• Brain fog
• Cravings
• Long-term metabolic health

Michelle breaks down the science in a simple, practical way and shares easy habits that can dramatically improve blood sugar without restrictive diets or calorie counting.

In this episode you'll learn:

Why blood sugar changes during perimenopause

✅ The difference between glucose, insulin, insulin sensitivity, and insulin resistance

✅ Why fasting insulin may be one of the most important lab markers you've never had checked

✅ The connection between blood sugar, cortisol, sleep, and stress

✅ Why you wake up at 3 AM

✅ Why belly fat becomes more stubborn after 40

✅ The best order to eat your food for better blood sugar control

✅ Why protein and fiber matter at every meal

✅ How a 10-minute walk after eating can improve blood sugar

✅ Why eating all day may be working against your metabolism

✅ Small, realistic habits that create lasting metabolic health

✅ Whether your goal is more energy, fewer cravings, better sleep, balanced hormones, or healthy aging, stabilizing blood sugar is one of the most powerful places to start.

Have you ever felt like you're doing everything "right"—eating healthy, exercising, taking supplements—but your body still isn't responding the way it used to?

The missing piece may not be your nutrition or your workouts.

It may be chronic stress.

In Week 2 of our Inspired Wellness Method Summer Series, Michelle White, Certified Nutritional Therapy Practitioner, explains what stress is actually doing inside your body—from your hormones and metabolism to your sleep, digestion, immune system, and blood sugar.

Stress isn't just a feeling. It's a physiological response that can keep your body stuck in survival mode, making it difficult to heal, lose weight, sleep well, or feel like yourself again.

In this episode, you'll learn why managing stress isn't simply about "relaxing"—it's one of the most important foundations of long-term wellness, especially for women navigating perimenopause and midlife.

• What cortisol actually does inside your body

Are you exhausted even after a full night's sleep? Do you find yourself waking up between 1 and 4 AM, struggling with brain fog, afternoon energy crashes, stubborn weight gain, or feeling like your body has changed overnight?

In this first episode of The Inspired Wellness Method Summer Series, Michelle and Tab talk about why sleep is the foundation of health for women navigating perimenopause and menopause—and why improving sleep quality may be the missing piece in your wellness journey.

You'll learn what's happening inside your body while you sleep, how hormonal changes impact sleep during midlife, and six practical strategies you can start using today to improve sleep quality, support hormone balance, and wake up feeling more energized.

If you've been told that poor sleep is simply part of getting older, this episode will challenge that belief and give you actionable steps to start feeling better.

In This Episode, You'll Learn:

 Why sleep is the first foundation Michelle addresses with almost every client

 How poor sleep impacts:

• Energy levels
• Weight management
• Hormone balance
• Mood and emotional resilience
• Blood sugar regulation
• Cravings and appetite

 The connection between:

• Cortisol and melatonin
• Sleep and metabolism
• Sleep and perimenopause symptoms
• Sleep and hormone health

 Why women in perimenopause often:

• Wake up between 1-4 AM
• Experience racing thoughts at night
• Struggle with hot flashes and night sweats
• Feel exhausted but can't fall asleep

 Six practical strategies to improve sleep naturally

Michelle's 6 Sleep Strategies

1. Get morning sunlight within 30 minutes of waking
2. Reduce artificial light exposure in the evening
3. Keep a consistent wake time
4. Create a calming nighttime routine
5. Avoid common evening cortisol triggers
6. Support sleep with proper nutrition and magnesium glycinate when appropriate

Key Takeaway

You don't need to overhaul your entire life overnight.

Choose one or two sleep habits from this episode and focus on consistency. Small improvements in sleep quality can create powerful ripple effects throughout your energy, hormones, metabolism, mood, and overall health.

Many women have already figured out that dieting doesn't work.

Yet even after leaving diets behind, many of us still carry the mindset of diet culture: obsessing over food choices, labeling foods as "good" or "bad," constantly second-guessing our bodies, and chasing the next wellness trend in hopes that it will finally be the answer.

In this week's episode, Michelle sits down with nutritionist, author, and podcast host Laura Heflin to discuss a topic that doesn't get talked about nearly enough: orthorexia—the unhealthy obsession with eating "perfectly" healthy.

Laura shares her deeply personal story of falling into a cycle of over-exercising, under-eating, losing her menstrual cycle, and becoming consumed by the pursuit of health. What began as a desire to feel better slowly turned into a toxic relationship with food, exercise, and body image.

Together, Michelle and Laura explore why so many women remain trapped in diet culture thinking even when they no longer follow formal diets, how social media fuels food confusion, and why learning to trust your body may be one of the most important wellness skills of all.

Laura also shares the 10 Lifestyle Principles that helped her heal her relationship with food and now serve as the foundation of her work helping women create sustainable, realistic wellness habits.

In This Episode You'll Learn:

 What orthorexia is and why it often goes unrecognized

 The difference between pursuing health and becoming obsessed with health

 Signs that healthy habits may be crossing into unhealthy territory

 Why diet culture continues to influence women long after they stop dieting

 How social media contributes to confusion around food and wellness

 The power of intuitive eating and learning to trust your body's signals

 Why perfectionism often sabotages long-term health goals

 Laura's 10 Lifestyle Principles for creating lasting wellness

 How small daily habits create meaningful health transformations

 Why food freedom and health can coexist

Laura's 10 Lifestyle Principles:

1. Don't start something today you can't do for the rest of your life.
2. Embrace the 80/20 lifestyle.
3. Become a planner.
4. Eat real food.
5. Eat small and eat often.
6. Stop counting calories.
7. Tune into your body.
8. Remember: you are what you drink.
9. Prioritize sleep.
10. Move the way your body wants to move.

If you've ever felt like you're doing everything "right" but still can't lose weight, especially around your midsection, this episode is for you.

Today, Michelle sits down with Morgana Lakatos-Hayward, former two-time World Champion Latin dancer, certified perimenopause health coach, bestselling author, and founder of This Isn't a Diet.

After years of restrictive dieting, overtraining, hormonal struggles, and a diagnosis of adenomyosis, Morgana realized that traditional weight loss advice wasn't designed for women's changing hormones. Her healing journey led her to develop a holistic approach that combines Western nutrition, biohacking, Traditional Chinese Medicine, and Ayurvedic principles to help women work with their bodies instead of fighting them.

In this conversation, Michelle and Morgana unpack why belly fat becomes so stubborn during perimenopause, how cortisol and insulin impact weight gain, and why the old "eat less, exercise more" advice often backfires for women over 40.

In This Episode We Discuss:

 Why diet culture is still affecting women in midlife

 The connection between perimenopause and stubborn belly fat

 How cortisol contributes to weight gain and metabolic dysfunction

 The role of insulin and blood sugar in hormone balance

 Why women are not "small men" when it comes to nutrition and exercise

 Eastern vs. Western approaches to wellness and healing

 The importance of sleep, stress management, detoxification, and nervous system regulation

 Why restrictive dieting often worsens hormonal symptoms

 The first step women can take today to support healthy weight loss

 How to work with your body's biology instead of against it

Key Takeaway

Your body isn't broken.

Many women enter perimenopause still using weight-loss strategies that were never designed for female hormones. When you address foundational factors like blood sugar balance, stress, sleep, movement, and nutrition, weight loss becomes less about willpower and more about creating the conditions your body needs to thrive.

What if the fatigue, weight gain, brain fog, and hair loss you’ve been told are “just perimenopause” are actually a thyroid issue your standard labs are missing?

In this episode of the Inspired Wellness Podcast, Michelle and Tabitha sit down with Angela Brown — a functional medicine health coach, Functional Diagnostic Nutrition Practitioner (FDN-P), licensed physical therapist, and certified personal trainer — who specializes in thyroid and hormone health for women. Angela was diagnosed with hypothyroidism at 22 and spent nearly fifteen years being told her numbers looked “normal” while her symptoms told a very different story. It wasn’t until she discovered she actually had Hashimoto’s that her healing journey truly began.

In this conversation, Angela breaks down what the thyroid is really doing in the body, why thyroid dysfunction becomes so common and confusing in perimenopause and menopause, and why the standard TSH-only test is failing so many midlife women. She explains why Hashimoto’s is the number one cause of hypothyroidism — and why most women have it for years without ever being told. She also walks us through what a complete thyroid workup actually looks like, what to do when your doctor won’t run it, and what real, root-cause thyroid healing looks like through her ReBalance program.

If you’ve ever felt dismissed, gaslit, or stuck on the thyroid medication carousel — this is the episode you’ve been waiting for.

In This Episode, We Cover:

• Why thyroid issues become so common — and so confusing — in midlife
• A plain-language breakdown of TSH, Free T3, Free T4, and reverse T3
• Why Hashimoto’s is the #1 cause of hypothyroidism (and why most women aren’t told)
• The critical difference between autoimmune thyroid disease and “regular” hypothyroidism
• Why the standard thyroid panel is failing women — and which markers you actually need
• Affordable, direct-to-consumer options when your doctor won’t run a full panel
• Why “TSH improved but I still feel awful” is a clue, not a dead end
• A note on hyperthyroidism and Graves’ — what’s different and what’s the same
• The advanced functional tests Angela uses (HTMA, DUTCH, GI mapping, full thyroid panel)
• What real results look like through Angela’s ReBalance program

About Angela Brown

Angela is a functional medicine health coach based in St. Louis, MO, specializing in thyroid and hormone health for women. She is a board-certified Functional Diagnostic Nutrition Practitioner (FDN-P), licensed physical therapist, and certified personal trainer. After being diagnosed with hypothyroidism at 22, Angela experienced firsthand the frustration of “normal” labs but ongoing symptoms. Through advanced functional testing and a root-cause approach, she was able to restore her health. She now helps women uncover what standard testing often misses using data-driven protocols, and is the creator of the ReBalance program — designed to help women heal their thyroid, rebalance their hormones, and finally feel like themselves again.

If you're a woman in midlife who wakes up stiff, exhausted, and feeling disconnected from your body, this episode is for you. Michelle sits down with certified stretch coach Mel Baune, founder of Stretch and Be Well, to unpack why stretching is so much more than warming up before a workout — it's a powerful tool for nervous system regulation, mobility, longevity, and stress relief.

After nearly 20 years in commercial real estate, Mel walked away from corporate burnout and discovered the science of long-hold stretching, breathwork, and visualization. In this episode, she breaks down how just 5 minutes a day can lower cortisol, improve mobility, and help busy women in their 40s and 50s feel calmer, stronger, and more energized — without overhauling their lives.

If you've been telling yourself you'll prioritize wellness "when things slow down," this conversation will change how you think about movement, rest, and recovery in midlife.

What You'll Learn in This Episode

• Why exhaustion and physical tension became Mel's wake-up call after becoming a new mom at 40
• The difference between traditional stretching and the science-based long-hold method
• How the 4-8 breath count signals safety to your nervous system and lowers stress
• Why mobility is one of the most overlooked pillars of longevity for women over 40
• How to let go of perfectionism and embrace small, sustainable wellness wins
• Why corporate wellness matters — and how stretching is transforming workplace culture
• The simplest free wellness habit you can start today (hint: it involves a glass of water)
• One mindset shift every burned-out, high-achieving woman needs to hear

Key Takeaways

1. Exhaustion is not a badge of honor. Constant burnout is a signal, not a personality trait.
2. Long-hold stretches + breathwork = nervous system reset. You're training your brain to slow down, not just lengthening muscles.
3. Mobility is a longevity practice. We naturally lose mobility in our 40s, 50s, and 60s — but it's reversible.
4. Perfectionism keeps you stuck. Five minutes counts. Two days a week counts. Start small and let it build.
5. Momentum drives motivation — not the other way around.

About Mel Baune

Mel Baune is a Certified Stretch Coach and the founder of Stretch + Be Well. After nearly two decades in commercial real estate, she transitioned into wellness after discovering how profoundly the science of stretching could transform the body and nervous system. She works with women one-on-one and partners with companies to bring wellness programming to their teams — drawing on her own experience as a corporate professional to serve an audience that is often overlooked.

After struggling through perimenopause symptoms including insomnia, anxiety, weight gain, irritability, and burnout, Juliana completely transformed her approach to wellness. Instead of chasing quick fixes, she began focusing on foundational habits like sleep, nutrition, strength training, clean beauty, mindset, and facial exercises — and the results changed her life.

Today, Juliana inspires hundreds of thousands of women online with her message that aging is not something to fear — it’s something we can approach with strength, vitality, and intention.

• Why so many women are told their symptoms are “normal” in perimenopause
• The foundational habits that truly support healthy aging
• Why sleep, strength training, protein, and mindset matter more than expensive “hacks”

• What facial exercises and face yoga actually do for the muscles and fascia in the face
• How lymphatic drainage and fascia release can impact puffiness and jowls
• Why aging well naturally is about consistency, not perfection

If you’ve ever thought:

“I’m doing everything right… so why do I still feel exhausted, foggy, or off?”

This episode is for you.

Today, we’re diving into one of the most overlooked pieces of midlife health: mineral balance — and a powerful functional test called Hair Tissue Mineral Analysis (HTMA) that can help uncover what’s really going on beneath the surface.

Because here’s the truth:

Many women in their 40s and 50s are doing all the “right” things — eating well, exercising, trying to sleep — and still not feeling like themselves.

Often, the issue isn’t effort.

It’s what’s happening at the cellular level.

 In this episode, we cover:

• What HTMA (Hair Tissue Mineral Analysis) actually is and how it works
• Why mineral imbalances don’t always show up on blood work
• The connection between minerals, hormones, stress, and energy
• Why midlife women are often running on a hidden mineral deficit
• Common symptoms linked to mineral imbalance:
• fatigue
• brain fog
• anxiety
• poor sleep
• hormone symptoms
• How adrenal function, thyroid expression, and heavy metals show up in HTMA
• Why personalization matters more than generic wellness advice
• How HTMA fits into a foundations-first approach to health

 Key Takeaway

HTMA isn’t about adding more supplements or chasing trends.

It’s about understanding:

 what your body actually needs

 where you may be depleted

 and how to personalize your nutrition, lifestyle, and support

So you can stop guessing… and start seeing real results.

 My Approach (Important)

As always, I believe:

Foundations come first.

Sleep. Stress. Nutrition. Blood sugar. Movement.

And then… minerals help personalize everything.

HTMA doesn’t replace the basics.

It helps us refine them at a deeper level.

 Interested in HTMA Testing?

I’m currently offering a limited HTMA Pilot Program where we:

• Analyze your results in detail
• Walk through your patterns (minerals, stress, metabolism)
• Build a personalized nutrition + lifestyle + supplement plan

If you’re feeling stuck, exhausted, or like something is missing — this may be the next right step.

Peptides are everywhere right now—from social media to wellness clinics—but what are they really… and are they safe?

In this episode of the Inspired Wellness Podcast, Michelle and Tabitha sit down with board-certified physician Dr. Angela Straface, founder of Feel Ideal 360, to break down the truth about peptides—what they are, how they work, and what midlife women need to know before trying them.

If you’ve been hearing about peptides for weight loss, anti-aging, energy, or hormone balance… but feel overwhelmed or unsure where to start—this episode is for you.

 What You’ll Learn in This Episode

 What peptides actually are (in simple terms)

 Why peptides are trending right now—and what’s driving the hype

 The difference between safe, medical-grade peptides vs. “gray market” options

 Major red flags to watch for when buying peptides online

 Real risks of unsafe peptides (and why this matters more than you think)

 How peptides support energy, hormones, sleep, and longevity

 The top peptides Dr. Straface recommends for midlife women

 Why foundational health still matters more than any “quick fix”

 The Part Most People Aren’t Talking About

This conversation goes deeper than the typical peptide hype.

Dr. Straface shares:

• Why many peptides sold online are labeled “not for human consumption”
• The dangers of unregulated products and improper dosing
• Why working with a qualified provider is essential

Because when it comes to your health—more is not better, and cheaper is not safer.

 A Smarter Way to Think About Peptides

Instead of seeing peptides as a shortcut, this episode reframes them as:

 A tool (not a magic fix)

 Something that should be personalized to your body

 Most effective when combined with foundational habits like sleep, nutrition, and stress support

As Michelle always says:

“Foundations first—then optimize.”
