In this episode, I’m pulling back the curtain on how I apply the 80/20 strategy in real life—balancing gut health, busy schedules, birthday parties, and all the snack negotiations.From avoiding food dyes (yes, I still let them have candy!) to sneaking in broccoli seed extract and reading labels for folic acid, I’m sharing my top priorities when it comes to raising well-fed, resilient kids—without going to war over every bite.I also dive into how my kids' gene reports changed the game, how I handle eating out and travel as a sports mom, and why I focus more on what I can add to their plates, rather than obsess over what to take away.Whether you're in the trenches with picky eaters, navigating the “treat parent” dynamic with your partner, or just want to level up your kids' nutrition without losing your mind—this one's for you.💡 What You’ll Learn:What 80/20 looks like for a Functional Nutrition Practitioner raising kidsThe non-negotiables I stick to (and where I let go)How I shop: avoiding folic acid, choosing organic, skipping food dyesSupplements I give my kids—and whyHow I crowd IN nutrients instead of obsessively cutting foods outWhat changed after getting my kids’ gene reportsImmune support game plan during cold season (and post-sleepover recovery)Why “kids can eat whatever” is a myth that needs busting🛒 Mentioned in the Episode:Supplements: 5-MTHF multivitamin, fish oil with curcumin, D3+K2, magnesium, creatine, probiotics, broccoli seed extractBrands I use for dye-free candy: YumEarth, Unreal, etc.Immune season staples: vitamin C, zinc, seleniumFiber & gut support tricks for kids who hate fermented foods🎧 Listen If You’re:A mom who cares about nutrition but doesn’t want to micromanage every biteCurious about how Functional Nutrition works in real life with kidsTired of food battles and looking for realistic strategiesWondering what supplements are actually worth itTrying to protect your kids’ health without being "that mom"✨ If you loved this episode, don’t forget to hit follow !🔗 Resources & Links:Learn more about genetic testing + precision coaching → belowFollow me on Instagram → @find_myself_freeCoaching inquiries → www.mycheatcodenutrition.com👉 Click here to get started with genetic testing + coaching💬 Let’s Work Together:👉 Ready to test your genes?

5 Ways I Supercharge (Not Sabotage) My Health on Vacation
Let’s be real—vacation used to mean spiraling into junk food, day drinking, bad sleep, and snapping at my husband over who’s wrangling the kids.

In this episode, I’m sharing exactly how I flip the script on vacation.

It sets the tone.Shop Like a Pro: I grab kale, cabbage, lentils, berries, gluten-free bread, dips, and plenty of protein and fiber-packed foods to build simple meals that keep everyone regular and satisfied.Move Gently: Beach walks, a few hills, and 20-minute weight sessions make me feel strong—without dominating my day.Guilt-Free Treats: I make desserts that taste indulgent but are packed with nutrients (hello, chocolate date balls).Be Fully Present: No working, no constant scrolling. Just family, beach time, cooking, dancing, and peace.💬 Why It Matters:Sure, I can be a little extra with my prep, but honestly? This fills me up.

The Sober Glow Up: Why Quitting Alcohol is the Ultimate Power Move
In today’s episode, I’m sharing why quitting alcohol has been the most transformative decision I’ve made—and why it could be the domino that changes everything for you, too. If you’re in your 40s and trying to get a handle on your hormones, sleep, energy, digestion, and mood, this episode lays out exactly how alcohol may be silently working against you—and what happens when you remove it.Backed by science from Dr. Andrew Huberman, Dr. Daniel Amen, and Dr. Dacher Keltner, this episode breaks down the sober glow-up—from glowing skin and deep sleep to mental clarity, brain repair, self-trust, and a renewed sense of awe and purpose.This isn’t about judgment—it’s about power. And remembering just how good you’re meant to feel.✨ 5 Profound Shifts That Happened When I Quit DrinkingMy Health Has Never Been BetterClearer skin, less bloating, deeper sleep, balanced hormones, and reduced inflammation.Alcohol is a known gut disruptor and Group 1 carcinogen (yes, same as tobacco).Dr. Huberman & Dr. Amen explain how even small amounts of alcohol throw off everything from cortisol to collagen.My Mental Clarity Is Off the ChartsNo more 3 a.m. anxiety or shame spirals.Brain fog lifted as neurotransmitters rebalanced and prefrontal cortex healed.72 hours is all it takes to start rewiring—and clarity becomes your superpower.My Brain Is Literally GrowingSobriety boosts neuroplasticity, increases gray matter, and improves memory and focus.Studies show even moderate drinkers face brain shrinkage—but it’s reversible.I’m learning, creating, and thinking faster than ever before.I Believe in Myself—FullyNo more outsourcing confidence to a glass of wine.The early "blah" feeling is dopamine recalibrating—not failure, but healing.Dr. Amen’s “dopamine detox” concept explains how joy returns naturally over time.I’m Living With Purpose & GratitudeI feel awe again—in the ordinary, everyday moments.Dr. Dacher Keltner’s research shows awe reduces stress and increases connection.I’m present, peaceful, and finally living in high-definition.🧠 Science Bites from the EpisodeAlcohol affects the prefrontal cortex, impairing decision-making and emotional regulation.It disrupts gut microbiota, increases inflammation, and affects hormone metabolism.Within 1–2 weeks alcohol-free, dopamine begins to recalibrate—bringing back motivation and joy.Long-term sobriety supports neuroplasticity—rewiring your brain and strengthening your inner resilience.💡 This Episode Is For You If…You’re in your 40s and feel like alcohol is quietly sabotaging your health goals.You’ve tried to cut back before but didn’t know how to support yourself through hormonal changes.You’re curious what your life could feel like without the constant recovery cycle.🎧 Loved this episode?Please leave a ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ review on Apple Podcasts or Spotify—it helps more women find this show and start their own sober glow-up journey.🎯 Ready to go deeper?Ready to take your break from booze?

How to Change Your Drinking Habits by Rewiring Your Emotional Brain
In today’s episode, I get real about the science behind lasting behavior change — and why the way you feel about alcohol matters more than how long you’ve been abstaining. This isn’t about white-knuckling it. It’s about rewiring your brain from the inside out with a powerful approach called Affective Liminal Psychology (aka ALP) — a method rooted in neuroplasticity, emotional intelligence, and subconscious belief rewiring.This is the same methodology behind This Naked Mind, and it’s what helped me go from a daily gray area drinker to 4+ years alcohol-free — not just abstinent, but actually free.If you’ve ever asked:“Why can’t I stick with it?”“Why do I keep going back, even when I know I want to stop?”“Is something wrong with me?”This episode is for you.You’ll learn:✅ Why we feel our way into most behaviors — and how to use that to your advantage✅ The 4-step Liminal Path to transformation: Perspective → Awareness → Transformation → Healing✅ The neuroscience behind beliefs, cravings, and why alcohol can feel like the only “off” switch — until it doesn’t✅ How to use the AIRE Method to rewire beliefs driving your drinking (or other habits)✅ Why this work doesn’t just stop at alcohol — it changes how you think, feel, and show up in every area of your life💬 I also shares a raw and relatable behind-the-scenes story of coaching, motherhood, and the exact tools she uses to help her clients heal for good.🔗 Mentioned in this episode:🎧 This Naked Mind Coach Certification — the methodology behind Ellie’s training🌀 Stop Drinking with Cycle Syncing — Ellie’s signature course designed to help women quit alcohol in a way that works with your hormones, not against them💥 Cycle Syncing Starter Kit — your free guide to syncing food, exercise, and self-care to your unique cycle🧠 Want to work with Ellie 1:1?
