    140: Why Diets Don't Work and What to Do Instead | Lizzie Ens

    What if every diet you have ever tried was never actually designed to teach you how to heal?In this deeply personal solo episode of The Lizzie Ens Show, Lizzie pulls back the curtain on the journey that built Undiet You from the ground up. She takes you all the way back to growing up in the Amish community in Ohio, navigating relentless body comparison as a twin, developing an eating disorder as a teenager, cycling through fad diets in her early twenties, and ultimately finding her calling as a board-certified functional practitioner helping women break free from the dieting cycle for good.This is not a polished highlight reel.

    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

She breaks down why so many people – especially women – struggle to speak up, why speaking up feels so threatening when you weren't taught how, and what it actually takes to use your voice in a way that earns you respect instead of just approval.Because here is the truth: staying silent to keep the peace is quietly costing you more than you know.In this episode, you’ll learn:Why people pleasers are liked but not respected and how to change thatWhy speaking up feels so hard when your voice was suppressed growing upHow to stop people pleasing without exploding in anger or resentmentWhy "no" is a complete sentence and you don't owe anyone an explanationHow suppressing your voice shows up physically (thyroid, hormones, nervous system, and sleep)How to identify your values before you set a single boundaryThe onion method for reconnecting with who you actually areHow to recognize when you are allowing people to take advantage of youWhy your gut is always right and what happens when you ignore itHow to start using your voice with yourself firstWe talk about:00:00 Why speaking up feels so hard01:30 Growing up Amish: when your voice gets silenced early04:45 The difference between being liked and being respected06:00 Dying on the inside while holding everyone else together08:00 How to speak up effectively (anger never works)11:30 The onion around your heart16:00 Are they taking advantage of you, or are you letting them?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/ #PeoplePleasing #SettingBoundaries #SpeakUp

    132: GI Map Test Explained. What Your Stool Test Reveals About Gut Health | Lizzie Ens

    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

    123: The 3 Stress Personalities That Quietly Wreck Your Health | Trupti Gokani, MD

    Stress isn’t just about having too much on your plate. It’s about how your body responds to pressure, and why the same stressors affect people completely differently.In this episode of The Lizzie Ens Show, Lizzie sits down with board-certified neurologist turned Eastern Medicine expert Trupti Gokani, MD, author of The Stress Rx, to unpack why stress is not a mindset issue, but a physiological and nervous-system pattern rooted in ancient Ayurvedic wisdom.Together, they explore how stress shows up through three distinct stress personalities (Windy, Fiery, and Earthy), how chronic stress dysregulates cortisol, digestion, immunity, sleep, hormones, and the microbiome, and why many women remain stuck in burnout, anxiety, inflammation, or fatigue despite “doing everything right.”Lizzie and Trupti also discuss the deep connection between emotions, identity, illness, and the body, including how suppressed self-expression, misaligned relationships, and long-term internal pressure can manifest as thyroid issues, sleep disturbances, immune dysfunction, and chronic illness.This episode is for anyone who feels like stress keeps showing up in their body, even when their life looks “fine,” and who’s ready to stop managing symptoms and start understanding why their body is responding the way it is.In this episode, you’ll discover:Why stress is not about workload, but about internal vs external demandThe three Ayurvedic stress personalities and how they show up in the bodyHow chronic stress dysregulates cortisol, sleep, digestion, and immunityWhy anxiety, burnout, inflammation, and fatigue are stress responses, not failuresThe connection between suppressed emotions, the throat, and thyroid healthHow relationships, values, and identity mismatches create physical illnessWhy labeling illness can reinforce symptoms instead of healing themHow nervous system regulation restores resilience and energyPractical awareness tools to identify your stress pattern and break the cycleWhy healing stress starts with understanding yourself, not fixing yourselfWe talk about:00:00 Why stress needs to be understood differently02:00 Trupti’s journey from neurology to Eastern medicine05:00 Sleep disruption as an early stress warning sign08:30 Why Western medicine misses the root of stress11:00 Ayurvedic doshas and mind-body types explained15:00 The Windy, Fiery, and Earthy stress personalities19:30 Cortisol rhythms, adrenal fatigue, and burnout23:00 Stress, emotions, and the three-brain model27:00 How stress shows up as anxiety, anger, or shutdown31:00 Relationships, values, and chronic illness36:00 Thyroid health, throat expression, and self-suppression41:00 Stress, immunity, and why some bodies stay vulnerable46:00 Healing stress through awareness, alignment, and safety50:00 How ancient wisdom supports modern nervous systemsConnect with Dr. TruptiThe Stress Rx by Trupti Gokani, MDStress Personality Quiz: https://truptigokanimd.com/stress-personality-type/ Website: https://truptigokanimd.comConnect 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/ #StressHealing #StressPersonalities #NervousSystemRegulation #WomensHealth #Ayurveda #BurnoutRecovery #HormoneHealth #EmotionalHealing #MindBodyConnection #WellnessPodcast #HealthPodcast #TheLizzieEnsShow #LizzieEns

    122: Why Dieting Stops Working for Women (And What Actually Helps)

    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. January often convinces people that something is wrong with their bodies, but in reality, it’s the stress, restriction, and lack of nourishment that keep the body in survival mode.Lizzie explains what metabolism actually does in the body, how dieting downregulates thyroid function, disrupts blood sugar, raises cortisol, and leads to inflammation, fatigue, cravings, and stubborn weight. 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. Lizzie also shares how safety, structure, and support matter more than discipline when it comes to sustainable health.This episode is for anyone ready to stop dieting, stop punishing their body, and start supporting it in a way that actually works.6-Week Undiet You Reset: https://www.undietyou.com/6-week-undiet-youIn this episode, you’ll discover:Why dieting slows metabolism over timeHow eating less keeps the body in survival modeWhat metabolism actually does and how it adapts to stressWhy under-fueling impacts thyroid, hormones, and energyHow blood sugar imbalance drives fatigue and inflammationWhy food guilt creates stress in the bodyHow nourishment restores metabolic functionWhy safety matters more than discipline for weight lossWhat to focus on instead of dietingWe talk about:00:00 January dieting panic and why it happens every year01:45 Why diets fail and motivation fades by February03:30 Why restriction slows your metabolism06:15 What metabolism actually does08:45 Underfed and overstressed, what this means for women11:30 Blood sugar, cortisol, and inflammation explained14:45 Why eating less backfires17:30 Cravings, guilt, and dopamine20:30 Nourishment vs restriction23:30 How Undiet You supports metabolic healing27:30 Letting go of old habits and survival patterns31:00 Choosing support, safety, and 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/ #Metabolism #StopDieting #WomensHealth #HormoneHealth #NervousSystem #ChronicStress #BloodSugar #BurnoutRecovery #WellnessPodcast #HealthPodcast #LizzieEns #TheLizzieEnsShow

    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. It’s your brain trying to cope.In this episode, Lizzie Ens sits down with food addiction specialist Meghann Hempel to explain why emotional eating keeps winning and how to break the cycle.You’ll learn what’s really driving bingeing, cravings, and food obsession, and what actually helps you feel calm, grounded, and in control again.If you’ve ever asked yourself, “Why can’t I stop eating?” or felt frustrated that discipline and healthy habits still aren’t enough, this episode will change how you see your relationship with food.Lizzie is joined by Meghann Hempel, food addiction and weight loss specialist, for an honest conversation about emotional eating, food addiction, and the survival patterns happening beneath behavior.Meghann shares her personal journey through childhood anxiety, early psychiatric medication, disordered eating, binge–purge cycles, compulsive exercise, and food addiction recovery. 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
