    How to get healthy without money is the real question behind the excuse you keep telling yourself. Functional nutrition coach Lizzie Ens is done letting "I'll get healthy when I'm rich" slide as an excuse. If you have ever put off eating better or moving your body because you think you cannot afford it, this episode is the wake up call you need. Lizzie breaks down why your health, not your bank account, is your actual wealth, and why waiting for more money is quietly costing you your life.Lizzie Ens, functional nutrition coach, business owner, author, and speaker, walks you through the free and nearly free habits that move the needle fastest: a 10 to 15 minute walk after meals to improve insulin resistance, drinking more filtered water instead of bottled, prioritizing 8 hours of sleep, and cooking at home instead of ordering out. She also unpacks a client's real DM about the money excuse, and introduces her new resource, The Undiet You Beginner's Guide: Weight Loss Without the Drama, built for anyone ready to start healing from the inside out without a big financial commitment. This episode will change how you think about what wealth actually means.In this episode, you’ll learn:Why the belief that you will get healthy once you are rich is keeping you stuck, and how to break it before it costs you your health.How a 10 to 15 minute walk after meals can improve insulin resistance, according to Lizzie, sometimes more effectively than medication alone.Why bottled water may be raising your xenoestrogen exposure, and how a simple countertop filter pays for itself within a month.Why prioritizing 8 hours of sleep is one of the most powerful, cost free tools you have for weight loss and hormone balance.Why home cooked meals are cheaper and more nutritious than fast food or delivery, even when you are on a tight grocery budget.How to spot the hidden spending, like lashes or nails, that is quietly draining the money you say you do not have for your health.Why what you tell yourself about your body and your health becomes your reality, and how to change the story starting today.We talk about:00:00 The excuse that is keeping you from getting healthy00:27 Why "I'll get healthy when I'm rich" is a lie you tell yourself01:51 Why your health matters more than a million dollars06:32 Inside The Undiet You Beginner's Guide09:39 What a client's DM reveals about the money excuse10:59 Why saying "I have depression" can become your reality11:38 How walking after meals improves insulin resistance13:18 Why bottled water may be raising your hormone risk16:02 How to fix your sleep and reset your circadian rhythm17:48 Why home cooked meals cost less than fast food19:02 What are you really spending your money on21:06 What are you telling yourself that you cannot doReady to stop guessing and start healing at the root?

    153: How to Age Well After 40 | Dr. Kyle Hulsebus & Lizzie Ens

    How to age well after 40 starts with a simple question. What are you actually afraid of? On this episode of The Lizzie Ens Show, host Lizzie Ens sits down with Dr. Kyle Hulsebus, a third-generation chiropractor and the creator of the 40 Over 40 framework, to unpack why most people wait until their 40s to finally take their health seriously. If you feel anxious, glued to your phone, or stuck wondering whether it is too late to change your life, this conversation is the reset you need.Lizzie Ens, functional nutrition coach, business owner, author, and speaker, is joined by Dr. Kyle Hulsebus for an unfiltered conversation about anxiety, nomophobia, breathwork, and the gratitude practice that turns pain into purpose. You will learn why turning your phone off completely resets your nervous system, how a simple three breath reset calms anxiety in real time, and why Carl Jung's belief that life truly begins at 40 is backed by 15 years of clinical experience with thousands of patients. This is your permission slip to stop waiting for the right time and start now.In this episode, you’ll learn:The 40 Over 40 framework Dr. Kyle Hulsebus built after realizing most people wait until their 40s to finally commit to lasting health change, and why that timing is not a coincidence.Why nomophobia, the clinical fear of being without your phone, is driving anxiety and disconnection, and the simple daily practice of turning your phone off to reset your nervous system.How breathwork lowers CO2 buildup and calms an anxious nervous system, plus the exact three breath reset Dr. Kyle teaches as the very first step in the 40 Over 40 method.The difference between spiritual attacks and chemical imbalance when anxiety takes over, and why addressing the physical root often has to come before anything else can heal.Why Carl Jung's quote that life really begins at 40 reflects what Dr. Kyle sees clinically after 15 years of chiropractic care with thousands of patients across every decade of life.A simple daily gratitude practice that reframes your hardest life experiences into the exact lessons that shaped who you are, straight from Dr. Kyle's own coaching approach.Why quiet, undistracted time in your car or home rewires your nervous system for presence, and how to start building that stillness back into a noisy, overstimulated life.We talk about:00:00 Meet Dr. Kyle Hulsebus and the 40 Over 40 framework03:57 What is the 40 Over 40 method04:29 Why most people wait until their 40s to change their health06:11 The Carl Jung quote behind life beginning at 4010:50 How men's and women's health has shifted in the last five to ten years13:41 What to do when you feel anxious about everything14:32 The physical and neurological roots of anxiety21:44 Tip number one of the 40 Over 40, why breathing comes first23:40 The light and sound meditation practice Dr. Kyle uses daily27:44 Why turning your phone off resets your nervous system29:19 What is nomophobia and why it is a real diagnosis32:06 The gratitude practice that turns pain into purposeReady to stop treating symptoms and start healing at the root?

    152: Why You're Still Exhausted: The Evening Routine Fix | Lizzie Ens

    An evening routine for better sleep starts hours before your head hits the pillow, not at bedtime itself. If you call yourself a night owl, functional nutrition coach Lizzie Ens says your circadian rhythm has just been trained wrong, not broken. You guys, this is the difference between waking up foggy and waking up ready to go, and it affects way more than how tired you feel.Lizzie Ens, functional nutrition coach, business owner, author, and speaker, walks you through exactly why sleep hygiene, cortisol timing, and your circadian rhythm decide how well you sleep and how productive you are the next day. She breaks down why doing anything productive within an hour of bedtime spikes cortisol, wires your brain, and blocks melatonin from doing its job. She explains why your last meal needs a three hour buffer before sleep so your body can focus on healing instead of digesting, and why a short walk after meals does more for insulin resistance than most medications. Lizzie also shares her own nightly wind down routine and the free Fix Your Zs sleep guide on undietyou.com. If you want your body to heal, your evening routine is where it starts.In this episode, you’ll learn:Why calling yourself a night owl usually means your circadian rhythm has been trained wrong, not that you were built that wayHow your brain shifts from calm beta waves into productive alpha waves the moment you check your phone or start working in the morningWhy doing anything productive within an hour of bedtime spikes cortisol and makes it harder to fall asleep, even with melatonin and magnesiumWhy eating within three hours of bedtime forces your body to digest instead of heal and detox while you sleepHow a 10 minute walk after meals supports insulin resistance more effectively than some medicationsWhat a real wind down routine looks like, from sauna and red light therapy to blue light blocking glassesWhy treating sleep as flexible instead of a fixed priority is quietly wrecking your next day energy and focusWe talk about:00:00 Why your evening routine matters more than you think00:31 How your circadian rhythm decides your bedtime02:41 Setting a consistent bedtime window for better sleep03:14 Why your brain needs beta time before alpha time04:27 How screen time triggers cortisol and adrenal fatigue05:20 Why productive tasks before bed backfire on your sleep08:00 What happens when you work right up until bedtime09:00 Where to grab the free Fix Your Zs sleep guide10:46 Why nutrition and hydration quietly affect your sleep12:33 Why eating before bed blocks your body from healing13:43 How walking after meals helps insulin resistance15:48 Lizzie's own nightly wind down routineReady to stop treating symptoms and start healing at the root?

    151: Why You're Still Afraid to Invest in Yourself | Lizzie Ens

    Invest in yourself is the mindset shift Lizzie Ens says keeps women stuck or sets them free. If you keep telling yourself you're not worthy of spending money, time, or energy on your own growth, you are choosing to stay in the gap between the life you have and the life you actually want. Comfort zones feel safe, but they are also where dreams quietly die.Lizzie Ens, functional nutrition coach, business owner, author, and speaker, breaks down the exact shift that took her from leaving the Amish community at nineteen with twenty dollars in her pocket to building the life she has today. You'll learn the difference between a poverty mindset and a prosperity mindset around money, why comfort zones kill dreams, and the blunt question Lizzie asks clients before they even think about dating: would you date you? She also opens up about her upcoming book, The Gap Between, and why the loneliest part of growth is usually the part right before the breakthrough.In this episode, you’ll learn:Why a poverty mindset around money keeps you from investing in yourself, and the exact shift Lizzie Ens made to move from a poverty mindset to a prosperity mindset.What the gap between dreaming and doing actually feels like, and why most people give up right when the isolation of that gap sets in.Why comfort zones are where dreams go to die, and how discomfort is actually a signal that you are finally being pushed toward growth.The blunt question Lizzie Ens asks before anyone starts dating: would you date you, and why the answer changes everything about who you attract.How growing up in the Amish community programmed Lizzie Ens to believe dreaming was only for other people, and how she broke that conditioning as an adult.Why hiring a professional to fast track your health, business, or mindset saves you years compared to trying to figure it all out alone.The simple morning gratitude practice Lizzie Ens uses, inspired by a habit she heard about from Tony Robbins, to stay in a prosperity mindset instead of fear.We talk about:00:00 Why most people stay stuck instead of taking action00:54 The biggest lie you believe about needing it all figured out02:17 What the gap between dreaming and doing really means04:52 Living your dream life after years of only believing in it06:53 The gratitude habit inspired by Tony Robbins that rewires your mindset08:03 Why investing in yourself beats just spending money on yourself11:04 Do your dreams die inside your comfort zone13:51 Why Amish women are taught not to invest in themselves15:18 How dare you believe you are not worthy of your own dream17:12 What Lizzie told a client only four years removed from the Amish20:54 Would you date you today23:00 Why personal growth can feel lonely before it feels goodReady to stop treating symptoms and start healing at the root?

    147: The Three-Bite Rule: Eat Without Guilt | Lizzie Ens

    Holiday eating tips that actually work start with one mindset shift: one bad bite doesn't blow the whole day. If you've ever eaten a muffin at breakfast and then decided the rest of the day was a total write-off, you already know the all-or-nothing trap. It derails progress fast, and it has nothing to do with willpower. In this solo episode, functional nutrition coach Lizzie Ens breaks down her real strategy for navigating Fourth of July parties, summer cookouts, and any event where the food isn't exactly on your plan.

    146: The Estrobolome: What Your Gut Is Doing to Your Hormones with Caroline Carralero and Lizzie Ens

    Gut health and hormone balance are not two separate conversations. They are the same one. If you are dealing with bloating, irregular cycles, stubborn weight, fatigue, or the skin issues that nothing seems to fix, your gut microbiome may be the root cause. There is a specific subset of gut bacteria called the estrobolome, and it controls how your body processes and clears estrogen. When it is out of balance, estrogen builds up, symptoms pile on, and no supplement in the world will move the needle until the gut is addressed first. In this episode, Lizzie Ens, functional nutrition coach and founder of Undiet You, sits down with Caroline Carralero, CEO and founder of Daily Nouri, a targeted gut microbiome company built specifically for women. Caroline breaks down how the estrobolome works, why PCOS, estrogen dominance, and infertility all have a gut connection, and how targeted strain-specific probiotics are fundamentally different from the one-size-fits-all bottle you have probably tried before. Daily Nouri is currently running a first-of-its-kind clinical trial on their Hormone Balance probiotic. This episode gives you the science in plain language so you can start making decisions that actually match how your body works. In this episode, you’ll learn:What the estrobolome is and why this lesser-known part of your gut microbiome directly controls how much estrogen circulates in your body at any given time. Why PCOS, endometriosis, estrogen dominance, and infertility all share a gut root cause, and what that means for where healing has to start. The difference between a generic probiotic and a targeted strain-specific probiotic, and why the cheap bottle from the drugstore was never designed to help with hormone imbalance. Why sleep is your number one detoxer, and how skipping rest is keeping your gut and hormones stuck no matter what else you do. The specific Daily Nouri product Caroline recommends as a starting point for women in their twenties, thirties, and perimenopause, including what makes each phase of life different. Why your body cannot heal in a stressed state, and how the cortisol-gut-hormone loop keeps women spinning their wheels even when they are doing everything right.We talk about:00:00 Why your gut and your hormones are running the same system 01:11 Who is Caroline Carralero and what is Daily Nouri? 04:03 Why one-size-fits-all probiotics do not work 06:27 What is the estrobolome and how does estrogen detox work? 08:12 Why PCOS, endometriosis, and infertility are gut health issues 11:16 Real results: bloating, skin, energy, and cycle regularity 13:07 The first-of-its-kind clinical trial underway on the Hormone Balance probiotic 17:14 The lifestyle pillars that must go alongside a probiotic 19:19 Is Akkermansia worth it?

    145: The Onion Framework: Heal Emotional Blocks to Lose Weight | Lizzie Ens

    Emotional blocks to weight loss are the real reason so many women stay stuck no matter how clean they eat or how hard they train. If you are sick and tired of doing everything right and still not seeing results, your body is not broken. The block is underneath the surface, and it is wrapped around your heart. In this solo episode, functional nutrition coach, business owner, author, and speaker Lizzie Ens introduces The Onion Framework, her powerful framework for understanding how unhealed trauma, childhood conditioning, and emotional shutdown silently sabotage physical healing. Drawing from her own Amish upbringing and her years of coaching real women through real transformation, Lizzie gets raw about what it actually takes to lose weight and feel well from the inside out. You will walk away knowing exactly where to start.In this episode, you’ll learn:What The Onion Framework is and why the layers of emotional protection wrapped around your heart are directly blocking your body's ability to heal and release weight. Why healing from the inside out is not just a mindset concept but a physical necessity, and how unresolved trauma shows up as thyroid issues, autoimmune conditions, gut problems, and unexplained weight gain. How Lizzie's Amish upbringing created specific patterns of emotional shutdown and overworking that she has since unpacked, and why so many women share these same patterns without recognizing them.

    141: What Is Quantum Biology and Why Does It Change Everything About How You Heal | Dr. Catherine Clinton

    What if the reason you are still struggling with your health has nothing to do with what you are eating and everything to do with the invisible forces your body is swimming in every single day?In this episode of The Lizzie Ens Show, Lizzie sits down with Dr. Catherine Clinton, a licensed naturopathic physician and founder of the Quantum Biology Health Institute, to explore one of the most fascinating and underutilized frameworks in modern health. Quantum biology.Dr. Clinton was not always the expert in the room. She came to this work because she got sick. In her second year of naturopathic medical school, her nervous system buckled under the pressure, and she was diagnosed with two autoimmune conditions, Lyme disease, and a cascade of GI infections. Conventional tools helped her function. Quantum biology helped her actually heal.In this conversation, Lizzie and Dr. Clinton break down what quantum biology actually is, why your mitochondria are the key to almost every modern disease, how light, water, sound, and the earth beneath your feet are sending real biological signals to your cells, and why the outdoors is not a nice-to-have but a genuine prescription for healing.This is the episode for the woman who has tried everything and still does not feel well.

    135: When Speaking Up Costs You Everything. Leaving the Amish to Live in Truth | Elizabeth Miller

    What happens when the life you built no longer feels like the life you’re meant to live?In this episode, Lizzie sits down with Elizabeth Miller to share a story that is as confronting as it is freeing. From the outside, Elizabeth had everything, a thriving business, a family, a respected place in her Amish community. But internally, something didn’t feel right.That quiet knowing became impossible to ignore.What followed was a decision that would cost her nearly everything, her business, her home, her community, and her sense of identity. Because when Elizabeth chose to follow truth over approval, she was given an ultimatum. Stay and conform, or leave and lose it all.This conversation is about more than leaving a community. It’s about what it means to actually listen to yourself, to trust what you feel before you can explain it, and to choose a life that aligns, even when it comes with loss, fear, and uncertainty.Because sometimes the hardest decision is also the most honest one.In this episode, you’ll learn:What life inside the Amish community really looked like beyond the surfaceThe internal “knowing” that something wasn’t right, even when everything looked perfectHow early experiences of feeling unwanted shaped identity and decisions later in lifeWhy success on the outside doesn’t always equal alignment on the insideThe turning point that led Elizabeth to question everythingWhat happened when she began speaking up and living differentlyThe ultimatum that forced her to choose between staying or leavingWhat it actually looks like to lose your business, home, and community overnightThe emotional weight of being misunderstood, rejected, and labeled as “wrong”Why most people don’t leave environments that no longer alignThe difference between living for approval vs living in truthHow to start reconnecting with who you are underneath roles and expectationsWe talk about:00:00 How Elizabeth and Lizzie connected01:30 Life inside the Amish community and early identity03:00 Feeling like something wasn’t right despite “having it all”05:00 Childhood experiences and the need to feel wanted07:30 The internal shift that started everything10:00 Faith, searching, and the desire for something deeper14:00 The moment everything began to change18:00 Speaking up and becoming “different” in the community22:00 The ultimatum, stay and conform or leave everything24:00 Losing their business, home, employees, and stability26:00 Living in a camper with four kids and starting over28:00 The tension in marriage and “can you just stop talking about it?”32:00 Being misunderstood and labeled as needing help36:00 Family dynamics and navigating rejection40:00 Why most people stay even when they know something is off44:00 Fear, identity, and breaking away from expectation48:00 Who are you without your titles, roles, or labels?50:00 The question that changes everything, what are you afraid of?Connect with ElizabethFacebook: https://www.facebook.com/elizabeth.paige.miller.2025/ Website: https://www.benspretzels.com/ Connect with meInstagram: https://www.instagram.com/lizzieens_wellness YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@lizzieenswellness TikTok: https://www.tiktok.com/@lizzieh_wellness Website: https://undietyou.com/ #LeavingTheAmish #FindYourVoice #PersonalFreedom

    What if the symptoms you have been chasing for years are actually coming from your gut?In this episode of The Lizzie Ens Show, Lizzie Ens breaks down one of the most powerful functional health tools available today, the GI Map test. This advanced stool test provides a detailed snapshot of what is actually happening inside your digestive system, including bacteria, parasites, yeast, inflammation markers, and how well your gut is functioning overall.Many people struggle with symptoms like bloating, fatigue, hormone imbalance, brain fog, skin issues, anxiety, and stubborn weight changes without realizing that the root cause may be living inside the gut microbiome.Lizzie walks through what the GI Map test measures, why conventional testing often misses gut imbalances, and how this type of functional testing helps uncover the deeper drivers behind chronic symptoms.Instead of guessing or masking symptoms, GI Map testing allows practitioners to see the full landscape of the gut ecosystem. From beneficial bacteria to harmful pathogens, the results provide a roadmap for restoring balance and improving overall health.If you have ever wondered whether parasites, bacterial overgrowth, inflammation, or digestive dysfunction could be contributing to how you feel, this episode offers a clear and practical explanation of how gut testing works and why it can be a game changer for long term healing.Your gut influences everything from metabolism and hormones to immunity and mood.

    131: You Can Have All the Wealth in the World… But Without Health, What Do You Have? | Lizzie Ens

    What if the real measure of success isn’t how much money you make, but how well your body actually functions?In this episode of The Lizzie Ens Show, Lizzie explores a powerful idea that many high performers overlook. You can have all the wealth in the world, but without your health, what do you really have?Lizzie unpacks why prioritizing health is not a luxury or a “when I have time” goal. It is the foundation that allows everything else in your life to work. Your energy, focus, sleep, confidence, mental clarity, and emotional resilience are all directly tied to how well you take care of your body.The conversation also tackles common social pressures that make healthy choices difficult. From navigating parties full of unhealthy food to dealing with judgment from others when you choose not to drink or indulge, Lizzie explains why staying in your own lane is essential for long term success.This episode is a reminder that your health is not someone else’s responsibility. It is yours. And when you take ownership of it, the ripple effect impacts every area of your life, including your family, your business, and your future.In this episode, you’ll discover:Why health before wealth is the real foundation of long term successHow poor sleep, alcohol, and under-fueling sabotage performance and productivityThe ripple effect of improved health on confidence, clarity, and career directionWhy you do not need permission from others to make healthier choicesHow social pressure and “fit shaming” can derail your health goalsWhy people often resist advice until they see results modeled in real lifeThe surprising connection between eating enough calories and better sleepHow staying consistent with health habits inspires others without preachingWhy personal responsibility is the key to transforming your healthHow your choices today influence your children’s relationship with food and healthWe talk about:00:00 Health before wealth, the question that changes everything02:00 Why success becomes harder when your health declines04:00 Clients who transformed their careers after improving their health06:00 Navigating social pressure and unhealthy food environments08:00 Why you do not need to explain your health choices10:00 The power of staying in your lane and leading by example12:00 Undereating, fasting, and why many people sabotage their energy14:00 How proper nutrition can improve sleep and mental clarity16:00 Observing others instead of listening to advice18:00 Why starting a health journey is hardest for beginners20:00 Gratitude for health and the effort it takes to maintain it21:30 Taking responsibility for your health instead of blaming others22:30 The ripple effect of healthier habits on family and children23:00 Simple strategies to prioritize health in a busy lifeConnect with meInstagram: https://www.instagram.com/lizzieens_wellness YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@lizzieenswellness TikTok: https://www.tiktok.com/@lizzieh_wellness Website: https://undietyou.com/ #HealthBeforeWealth #MetabolicHealth #EnergyOptimization #SleepHealth #WomensHealth #HormoneBalance #NutritionForEnergy #LifestyleMedicine #HealthyHabits #FunctionalHealth #LongevityHealth #PerformanceHealth #WellnessMindset #LizzieEnsShow

    130: How Blue Light at Night Disrupts Sleep, Perimenopause & Fat Loss with Heidi Sime & Thaddeus Owen

    If you are struggling with poor sleep, hormone imbalance, perimenopause symptoms, brain fog, anxiety, or stubborn fatigue, this conversation may change how you think about health.In Episode 130, Lizzie sits down with Heidi Sime and Thaddeus Owen, founders of Dream Walkers, to unpack the science behind blue light exposure, circadian rhythm disruption, melatonin suppression, and cortisol overload.Thaddeus shares how 16 years of insomnia and anxiety led him from pharmaceutical engineering into studying light as a biological signal. What he discovered is simple but powerful. Artificial light at night, especially blue light from LED bulbs, phones, laptops, and overhead lighting, suppresses melatonin, increases cortisol, and disrupts deep restorative sleep.Heidi explains why women are particularly sensitive to artificial light stress. Female hormones are more vulnerable to cortisol spikes, which makes modern light exposure especially disruptive for women navigating perimenopause, burnout, and chronic stress.Dream Walkers Blue Light Blocking Glasses and Circadian Lighting: Use code LIZZIE15 for 15% offIn this episode, you’ll discover:Why blue light blocking glasses for sleep actually workThe difference between yellow daytime lenses and orange nighttime lensesWhen to wear blue light blocking glasses for maximum benefitHow LED lighting creates unnatural blue spikesWhy artificial light at night is linked to diabetes, heart disease, obesity, and cancerHow circadian rhythm misalignment impacts fat loss and hormone balanceWhy melatonin is critical for cellular repair and anti-agingThe connection between breastfeeding, melatonin, and nighttime phone useWhy teenagers fall asleep earlier under red lightingHow to improve sleep without adding another supplementWe talk about:00:00 Why light is a missing piece in hormone health04:00 Thaddeus’ journey from insomnia to circadian science08:00 Blue light explained in simple terms12:00 Yellow vs orange lenses16:00 Women, cortisol, and hormone sensitivity20:00 When to switch to nighttime glasses24:00 Red light, amber light, and home lighting swaps28:00 Breastfeeding and melatonin32:00 Artificial light and chronic disease research36:00 Light as a nutrient40:00 Where to startConnect with Heidi and ThaddeusInstagram: www.instagram.com/dreamwalkerz.ai Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/primalhacker Website: https://dreamwalkerz.ai/ Connect with meInstagram: https://www.instagram.com/lizzieens_wellness YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@lizzieenswellness TikTok: https://www.tiktok.com/@lizzieh_wellness Website: https://undietyou.com/ #BlueLightBlockingGlasses #CircadianRhythm #SleepOptimization #HormoneBalance #MelatoninSupport #PerimenopauseHealth #CortisolHealing #ArtificialLight #BiohackingForWomen #FunctionalHealth #NaturalSleep #RedLightTherapy #MetabolicHealth #WomensHormones #LizzieEnsShow

    129: Why Intuitive Eating Isn’t Working for You (Weight Gain & What You’re Missing)

    If you’ve been asking yourself, “Can you actually lose weight with intuitive eating?” this episode breaks down what most women are missing.The truth is, intuitive eating only works when you understand calories, macronutrients, metabolism, and your body’s actual energy needs. Without that foundation, intuitive eating can easily turn into undereating, overeating, hormone imbalance, or stalled fat loss.In this episode, Lizzie breaks down what intuitive eating actually means and why so many women are misapplying it. If you’ve been told to “just listen to your body” but you’ve never learned calories, macronutrients, portions, or how your metabolism works, this conversation will challenge you in the best way.Lizzie explains why intuitive eating is an advanced skill, not a starting point. She walks through the foundational education most women skip, including basal metabolic rate, total daily energy expenditure, protein needs, carbohydrate myths, and how chronic undereating keeps your body stuck in survival mode.You’ll learn why tracking is not about obsession, but education. Why eating more often leads to better results. Why carbs are not the enemy. And how digestive enzymes, gut health, parasites, heavy metals, and inflammation can quietly block progress, even when your habits look “perfect” on paper.This episode reframes intuitive eating as the end goal, not the entry point, and gives you a grounded, structured path toward metabolic health, hormone balance, and sustainable fat loss.In this episode, you’ll discover:Why intuitive eating is not for beginnersThe difference between intuitive eating and educated eatingWhy calories in vs calories out still mattersWhat basal metabolic rate actually meansHow total daily energy expenditure impacts resultsWhy most women are severely undereatingThe role of protein in cravings, sleep, and muscle toneWhy complex carbs support hormones and thyroid healthHow chronic dieting lowers metabolismSigns you may need digestive enzymesWhy bloating and fullness can signal poor digestionWhen keto or carnivore may help short term, but not long termHow GI Map testing reveals hidden gut dysfunctionThe connection between parasites, candida, heavy metals, and inflammationWhy healing sometimes must happen before weight lossHow tracking becomes the bridge to intuitive eatingWe talk about:00:00 What people get wrong about intuitive eating01:05 Why you can’t intuitively eat without understanding macros02:15 Calories in vs calories out and healthy calorie deficits03:30 Basal metabolic rate explained04:45 Total daily energy expenditure and activity levels06:00 Why eating “healthy” isn’t enough07:15 Protein cravings and simple carb binges09:00 Why carbs are not the enemy11:10 Keto, carnivore, and short term protocols13:00 GI Map testing and gut repair phases15:10 The education gap in dieting17:20 Why tracking is an educational tool19:00 Undereating, slow metabolism, and bloating21:15 Digestive enzymes and nutrient absorption23:00 Why some bodies need to heal before losing weight25:00 Final truth, intuitive eating is earned through educationConnect with meInstagram: https://www.instagram.com/lizzieens_wellness YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@lizzieenswellness TikTok: https://www.tiktok.com/@lizzieh_wellness Website: https://undietyou.com/ #IntuitiveEatingExplained #IntuitiveEatingForBeginners #TrackingMacros #MetabolicHealth #Undereating #ProteinForWomen #HormoneBalance #GutHealthHealing #FunctionalNutrition #TheLizzieEnsShow

    128: The 40-Day Water Fast That Exposed What Fat Is Really Holding

    What actually happens during a 40 day water fast?In this episode, Lizzie sits down with Reggie Mckiver after he completed a 40 day water fast and lost 47 pounds. But this conversation is not about weight loss alone.It’s about what surfaced when food was removed.During the fast, anger resurfaced. Generational trauma surfaced. Fear surfaced. And something unexpected happened. Every time deep emotional release occurred, the scale moved.This episode explores the connection between weight loss resistance and unresolved emotional patterns. It challenges the idea that fat loss is purely physical and asks a deeper question. What if fat is protecting something?If you are struggling with weight loss resistance, fear of food, chronic under-eating, or feeling stuck despite doing everything “right,” this episode will expand your perspective.In this episode, you’ll discover:What a 40 day water fast revealed about trauma and fat storageHow anger and suppressed emotion can affect weight lossWhy fat may hold stored stress and memoryThe link between generational trauma and physical healthWhy the scale stalled during emotional suppressionHow emotional release influenced fat lossWhy chronic under-eating damages metabolismHow increasing calories improved sleep and strengthThe difference between weight loss and healingWhy transformation requires internal workWe talk about:00:00 Intro02:00 Why Reggie chose a 40 day water fast05:00 Weight loss versus emotional transformation07:30 Facing anger during fasting09:45 The day 38 breakthrough12:30 Fat holding trauma and stored memory15:00 Emotional release and sudden weight drops18:15 Pride, fear, and physical pain patterns24:00 Suppressed voice and emotional health26:30 Fear of food and chronic under-eating29:00 Eating 3,000+ calories and restoring sleep31:30 Strength, recovery, and metabolic healing34:00 Healing before sustainable weight lossConnect with ReggieFacebook: https://www.facebook.com/reginald.mckiver.2025 Website: https://thereggiemckiver.com/ Connect with meInstagram: https://www.instagram.com/lizzieens_wellness YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@lizzieenswellness TikTok: https://www.tiktok.com/@lizzieh_wellness Website: https://undietyou.com/ #40DayWaterFast #WeightLossResistance #TraumaAndWeight #EmotionalHealing #FastingTransformation #MetabolicHealth #FearOfFood #GenerationalHealing #TheScaleIsLying #TheLizzieEnsShow #WaterFast

    127: F the Scale, The Real Reasons Your Body Won’t Lose Weight (Even When You’re Doing Everything Right)

    If you’re eating well, moving your body, prioritizing sleep, managing stress, and still watching the scale refuse to move, this episode is for you.Lizzie breaks down why weight loss resistance is rarely about willpower or calories, and almost always about what’s happening beneath the surface. From chronic stress and nervous system dysregulation to inflammation, insulin resistance, gut health, and emotional identity tied to the scale, Lizzie explains why your body may not feel safe enough to release weight.You’ll learn how living in constant fight-or-flight blocks fat loss, why parasympathetic healing is essential, and how unresolved trauma, internal pressure, and metabolic dysfunction can keep the scale stuck, even when habits look “perfect” on paper.Lizzie also dives into overlooked contributors like insulin resistance, lymphatic congestion, heavy metals, parasites, gut imbalances, and why functional testing can uncover what diet culture never addresses. This episode reframes weight loss as a healing process, not a punishment, and offers a grounded, compassionate path forward for women who are tired of blaming themselves.In this episode, you’ll discover:Why the scale not moving is often a stress and inflammation issueHow chronic fight-or-flight blocks fat lossThe role of cortisol in weight loss resistanceWhy nervous system regulation matters more than restrictionHow sleep quality impacts detox and metabolismWhen the scale becomes an identity, not a toolWhy deep emotional healing can unlock physical changeHow insulin resistance fuels inflammation and stalled weight lossWhen strategic medical support can help reset the systemThe connection between toxins, gut health, and metabolismWhy lymphatic health is critical for fat lossHow functional blood work and GI mapping reveal root causesWhy what worked in your 20s and 30s often fails in your 40sHow to stop fighting your body and start working with itWe talk about:00:00 Why the scale feels defeating when you’re doing everything right01:15 Stress, cortisol, and why the body won’t feel safe to lose weight02:40 Sympathetic vs parasympathetic and healing capacity04:10 Sleep, detox, and metabolic repair05:35 The emotional relationship with the scale07:10 Why identity and self-worth get tied to weight09:20 Healing first so weight loss actually lasts11:30 Insulin resistance and hidden inflammation13:45 When strategic medical support helps reset the system15:55 Toxins, parasites, heavy metals, and metabolic dysfunction18:10 Lymphatic congestion and why detox pathways matter20:05 Gut health, bloating, and GI Map testing22:00 Why your body changes in your late 30s and 40s23:20 The final truth, the scale is not your identityConnect with meInstagram: https://www.instagram.com/lizzieens_wellness YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@lizzieenswellness TikTok: https://www.tiktok.com/@lizzieh_wellness Website: https://undietyou.com/ #WeightLossResistance #TheScaleIsLying #CortisolHealing #NervousSystemRegulation #InflammationHealing #MetabolicHealth #WomenOver40Health #FunctionalWellness #RootCauseHealing #TheLizzieEnsShow

    126: Struggling to Get Pregnant? What Doctors Miss About Egg & Sperm Quality with Dr. Marina

    If you’re struggling to get pregnant, have experienced miscarriages, or feel like fertility treatment keeps skipping over the real issues, this episode will change how you understand fertility.In this conversation on The Lizzie Ens Show, Lizzie sits down with Dr. Marina, a board-certified OB-GYN with over 30 years of experience who transitioned into functional and root-cause medicine after witnessing the limitations of conventional fertility care.Dr. Marina explains why fertility is often treated as a checklist of tests and procedures, while the most important factors, egg quality, sperm health, lifestyle, nutrition, toxin exposure, stress, and metabolic health, are overlooked.You’ll learn why sperm quality plays a critical role in placental development and early pregnancy, why fertility challenges must be addressed as a shared responsibility between partners, and how endocrine-disrupting chemicals have contributed to dramatic declines in sperm count and morphology over the last two generations.This episode also dives into PCOS, hormone testing gaps, AMH misconceptions, birth control masking symptoms, nutrigenomics, and why improving health before IVF dramatically increases success rates, and in many cases, leads to natural conception.Whether you’re trying to conceive naturally, preparing for IVF, or want to protect your fertility for the future, this conversation offers clarity, empowerment, and practical direction.In this episode, you’ll discover:Why fertility struggles aren’t just about ovulation timing or proceduresHow egg quality and sperm quality affect conception and miscarriage riskWhy sperm health is essential for placental developmentThe alarming decline in sperm count and morphologyHow endocrine-disrupting chemicals impact fertility in men and womenWhy fertility should be approached as a couple, not a single patientWhat conventional fertility testing often missesWhy AMH is not predictive of natural conceptionHow PCOS, insulin resistance, and inflammation affect fertilityWhy birth control often masks underlying hormonal dysfunctionHow lifestyle, nutrition, sleep, and stress influence reproductive healthThe role of micronutrients like vitamin D, B12, omega-3s, and inositolWhy improving health before IVF improves outcomes and reduces riskHow nutrigenomic testing supports personalized fertility careWe talk about:00:00 Why fertility treatment often misses key factors01:45 Dr. Marina’s background and shift into functional medicine03:30 Egg quality, stress, and fertility preservation05:15 Sperm quality and placental development07:10 The decline in sperm count and morphology09:20 Endocrine-disrupting chemicals and fertility11:45 PCOS, hormones, and insulin resistance14:30 Why AMH causes unnecessary fear16:40 Birth control and masked fertility issues19:15 Lifestyle, nutrition, and inflammation22:00 Why IVF outcomes improve with root-cause care25:30 Nutrigenomics and personalized fertility support28:30 Fertility as a shared responsibility31:00 Final takeaway and empowerment messageConnect with Dr. MarinaLinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/marina-straszak-suri-md-frcsc-9b32351aWebsite: https://drmarinaobgyn.com/ Connect with meInstagram: https://www.instagram.com/lizzieens_wellness YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@lizzieenswellness TikTok: https://www.tiktok.com/@lizzieh_wellness Website: https://undietyou.com/ #FertilityHealth #EggQuality #SpermQuality #TryingToConceive #FunctionalMedicine #PCOSSupport #HormoneHealth #RootCauseCare #PreconceptionHealth #TheLizzieEnsShow

    125: Stagnant Lymphatic System Signs: Puffy Face, Cellulite, Fatigue, and Why “Detox” Isn’t Working

    If you rarely sweat (even in a hot sauna), feel puffy despite “eating clean,” or deal with stubborn inflammation, fatigue, cellulite, brain fog, and hormone chaos, this episode connects the dots to one overlooked system: your lymphatic system.In this solo episode of The Lizzie Ens Show, Lizzie explains why a sluggish lymphatic system can look like weight gain (but is often fluid retention), why your body can feel “stuck” even when you’re doing all the right things, and how lymph stagnation can contribute to estrogen recycling, cortisol-related puffiness, and detox symptoms that get worse when you try to cleanse.You’ll walk away with a practical “drainage-first” plan, including movement, hydration, deep breathing, rebounding, vibration, dry brushing, and Lizzie’s top stack: dry brushing + glutathione + far infrared sauna.Book a consultation and testing: https://undietyou.com/In this episode, you’ll discover:The surprising sign of lymph stagnation: not sweating easily (even with heat or cardio)Why puffiness in the face, arms, belly, and legs is often fluid, not fatHow lymph supports detox, immunity, and why Lizzie calls it your body’s “sewer system”Why tight clothing, shallow breathing, dehydration, stress, and sitting all day can block drainageThe hormone link: how stagnant lymph may contribute to estrogen recycling and inflammationWhy “detox” can backfire if drainage is blocked (and what to do instead)A lymph-support routine: walking, rebounding, vibration plate, stretching, cold exposure, minerals, and hydrationLizzie’s top 3: dry brushing + glutathione + far infrared sauna (and what changed when her sweating finally “turned on”)We talk about:00:00 Not sweating easily, why it’s not a flex01:05 Puffy, swollen, inflamed, when it’s fluid not fat01:45 What the lymphatic system does (your detox drainage)02:25 Why blocking sweat can backfire (lymph congestion)03:05 Far infrared sauna, why it matters04:05 Lymph has no pump, it needs your movement05:10 Signs of lymph stagnation (puffiness, fatigue, brain fog, getting sick)06:10 Toxins discussed: mold, heavy metals, candida, pesticides, chlorine07:20 Causes: sitting, tight clothes, shallow breathing, dehydration08:45 Stress and cortisol effects on lymph09:15 Estrogen recycling, inflammation, cellulite, stubborn fat patterns10:15 “Detox” doesn’t work if drainage is blocked10:50 Tools: walking, rebounding, vibration plate, hydration, minerals11:50 Cold exposure, stretching, lymphatic massage12:30 The top stack: dry brushing + glutathione + sauna13:10 Lizzie’s sweating shift, what changed in workouts15:05 Client example, sweating progression and energy/sleep changes17:10 Sauna options and time comparison18:25 Why you can feel worse on cleanses (drainage bottleneck)19:10 Key takeaway, when lymph flows, inflammation fallsConnect with meInstagram: https://www.instagram.com/lizzieens_wellness YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@lizzieenswellness TikTok: https://www.tiktok.com/@lizzieh_wellness Website: https://undietyou.com/ #LymphaticSystem #LymphaticDrainage #DetoxPathways #InfraredSauna #DryBrushing #Glutathione #HormoneHealth #EstrogenDominance #Cortisol #Inflammation #WellnessPodcast #TheLizzieEnsShow

    124: GLP-1s Aren’t the Problem. Using Them Wrong Is (Muscle Loss, Thyroid, Rebound Weight Gain)

    GLP-1 medications and peptides are changing modern medicine, but many people are using them in a way that quietly sabotages health. In this episode of The Lizzie Ens Show, Lizzie breaks down why GLP-1s are not inherently “bad,” and why the real danger is taking doses that suppress appetite so aggressively you stop eating, skip protein, avoid strength training, and never address the root causes behind weight gain.She explains why common GLP-1 “side effects” are often the downstream effects of undereating, dehydration, slowed digestion, nutrient depletion, and muscle loss, including constipation, nausea, dizziness, fatigue, reflux, hair loss, and the “skinny fat” outcome (lower scale weight but higher body fat and low lean mass).Lizzie also covers the long game: what happens when someone stops using GLP-1s without building foundational habits first, and why rebound weight gain can happen rapidly. If you want fat loss without sacrificing metabolism, thyroid health, and muscle, this episode lays out what to do before, during, and after a GLP-1 journey.Book a consultation and testing: https://undietyou.com/In this episode, you’ll discover:Why “I can’t eat for two days” is a sign your dose may be too highWhy constipation on GLP-1s often comes from not eating enough (and not hydrating enough)What causes nausea, dizziness, fatigue, and brain fog, and how to reduce themWhy hair loss is often driven by macro + micronutrient deficiency, not “the drug itself”How low intake can contribute to depleted B vitamins and iron issuesHow muscle loss happens on GLP-1s, and why it matters for long-term healthThe “skinny fat” trap, losing weight while losing strength and metabolic powerWhy rebound weight gain can happen after stopping Ozempic-like meds, and how to prevent itThe link between undereating and anxiety, depression, and dopamine disruptionWhy your thyroid is the “fire” of metabolism, and how long deficits can backfireWhy peptides should be the “cherry on top,” not the foundationWhen GLP-1s may not work well at all (hidden stress load, toxins, and other root issues)We talk about:00:00 Why fast weight loss is not the same as fixing metabolism01:10 Safety and sourcing concerns, why guidance matters03:00 What happens when appetite is shut down and the body is underfed04:30 Constipation, digestion slowdown, nausea, dizziness, and dose red flags06:00 Hair loss, nutrient depletion, and muscle loss tradeoffs07:30 Rebound weight gain after stopping, what drives it09:00 The return of “skinny obsession,” and why that is not health10:10 The non-negotiables, protein, hydration, strength training, sleep11:20 Anxiety and depression, how underfueling amplifies symptoms12:20 Reflux and fasting-like symptoms even when you’re barely eating13:10 Thyroid health, metabolic slowdown, and the cost of long deficits14:20 Psychological costs, fear of food, loss of hunger cues, dependency15:30 Microdosing vs high-dose use, why strategy matters16:40 Peptides as support, not a replacement for foundations18:00 Why testing matters, uncovering root causes that block progress21:00 Final guidance, protect muscle, protect thyroid, build sustainabilityConnect with meInstagram: https://www.instagram.com/lizzieens_wellness YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@lizzieenswellness TikTok: https://www.tiktok.com/@lizzieh_wellness Website: https://undietyou.com/ #GLP1 #Ozempic #WeightLoss #Metabolism #ThyroidHealth #MuscleHealth #Cortisol #HormoneHealth #WomensHealth #WellnessPodcast #TheLizzieEnsShow

    If you’ve been eating less, trying harder, and still feeling tired, puffy, inflamed, and stuck, your metabolism isn’t broken. It’s overwhelmed.In this solo episode of The Lizzie Ens Show, Lizzie breaks down why chronic dieting and long-term under-eating slow metabolic function instead of improving it, especially for women.

She walks through why eating less backfires, how being underfed and overstressed impacts hormones and the nervous system, and why food guilt creates real physiological stress.You’ll learn why cravings are not a lack of willpower, why sugar and carb cravings often point to protein and nutrient deficiencies, and how proper nourishment restores energy, digestion, sleep, focus, and metabolic function.

    120: THIS is the Cost of Living Unintentionally, Why Women’s Bodies Are So Tired

    Why are so many women exhausted, burnt out, and overwhelmed, even when life looks “normal”?In this episode, Lizzie explains how chronic stress, hormone depletion, and unintentional living are quietly overloading women’s bodies and nervous systems.Women today are more exhausted than ever, and it’s not because they’re weak, unmotivated, or failing.In this solo episode of The Lizzie Ens Show, Lizzie breaks down why women’s bodies are experiencing chronic fatigue, burnout symptoms, hormone imbalance, and nervous system overload, especially during the holidays.She explains how modern women are operating in constant survival mode, carrying the roles of provider, protector, caregiver, and decision-maker for extended periods of time. While this level of stress feels normal, it silently disrupts cortisol levels, depletes testosterone, weakens immunity, and keeps the nervous system locked in fight-or-flight.This episode explores why women’s bodies aren’t failing them, they’re responding exactly as designed to chronic stress, lack of rest, and lives with no pause. Lizzie also shares why rest is essential for healing, how sugar, alcohol, and sleep deprivation amplify burnout during the holidays, and how intentional living restores balance, energy, and clarity.This conversation is not about doing more. It’s about slowing down, creating space, and choosing intentionality as a form of healing.7-Day Metabolism JumpstartJanuary 1–7$7 for 7 daysIncludes meal plan, grocery list, daily tracker, and guidanceLearn more at: https://www.undietyou.com/7-day-reset In this episode, you’ll discover why:Women feel exhausted even when life looks “normal”Chronic stress quietly depletes hormones and energyLiving in constant survival mode hijacks the nervous systemOperating in masculine energy too long leads to burnoutRest is essential for healing, immunity, and metabolismSugar, alcohol, and lack of sleep amplify holiday exhaustionLack of intentionality keeps the body stuck in fight-or-flightBoundaries protect energy, health, and emotional wellbeingIntentional living restores balance, presence, and vitalityWe talk about:00:00 Why women are exhausted right now02:30 Chronic stress and unintentional living05:10 Cortisol depletion and women’s hormones08:40 Masculine energy and burnout in women11:20 Why women’s bodies stay in survival mode14:30 Rest and nervous system healing17:10 Holiday stress, sugar, and exhaustion19:45 Intentional time, presence, and boundaries22:30 Why slowing down restores health25:00 Small shifts that rebuild energy28:10 Setting intentional foundations for the new year31:00 7-Day Metabolism JumpstartConnect with meInstagram: https://www.instagram.com/lizzieens_wellness YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@lizzieenswellness TikTok: https://www.tiktok.com/@lizzieh_wellness Website: https://undietyou.com/ #WomenExhausted #BurnoutRecovery #IntentionalLiving #WomensHealth #NervousSystem #ChronicStress #HormoneHealth #Cortisol #RestAndRecovery #WomenAndStress #WellnessPodcast #HealthPodcast

    119: The Real Reason You Can’t Stop Eating (It’s Not Your Willpower)

    If you feel out of control around food, it’s not willpower.

She explains why food addiction is rarely about hunger or self control, and more about nervous system regulation, emotional coping, identity, and unresolved trauma.Together, Lizzie and Meghann unpack how processed foods are engineered to hijack the brain, why restriction and “trying harder” often backfire, and why simply eating healthy does not heal emotional eating. They also discuss how shame keeps people stuck, how to identify danger zones and trigger patterns, and why boundaries and support are essential, especially during the holidays.This episode is not about another plan or reset. It’s about understanding the real reason food feels so hard, and how freedom with food actually begins.In This Episode, You’ll Discover Why:Food feels out of control even when you’re disciplined in other areas of lifeRestriction and willpower keep fueling binge–restrict cyclesEmotional eating acts as a survival response, not a failureProcessed foods hijack the brain’s reward systemShame and self worth play a bigger role than food choicesEmotional eating can escalate into food addictionDanger zones and triggers keep repeating the cycleBoundaries and support create real, lasting changeFreedom with food starts beneath behavior, not on your plateWe talk about:00:00 Why food feels harder than it should02:45 When eating becomes emotional survival05:55 Childhood anxiety, medication, and coping patterns09:30 The binge–purge cycle explained13:15 Why willpower and discipline fail17:50 How processed food hijacks your brain21:35 Emotional eating vs food addiction25:20 Shame, self worth, and identity29:05 Why restriction never heals the cycle32:50 Holiday triggers and danger zones36:15 Boundaries, support, and real freedom with foodConnect with MeghannFacebook: https://www.facebook.com/meghann.hempel/ Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/meghann.alice https://linktr.ee/brainbodybeyond Connect with meInstagram: https://www.instagram.com/lizzieens_wellness YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@lizzieenswellness TikTok: https://www.tiktok.com/@lizzieh_wellness Website: https://undietyou.com/ #FoodAddiction #EmotionalEating #WhyICantStopEating #BingeEatingRecovery #WomenAndFood #HealingRelationshipWithFood #NervousSystemHealing #TheLizzieEnsShow
