Episode 475: Kicking the year off right! 5 ways to feel your BEST this year
Are you ready to feel grounded, energized, and confident in your wellness this year? Are you tired of starting January with restriction instead of nourishment? Do you want habits that actually stick and support your metabolism, hormones, and mental health? In this episode, Ali and Becki kick off the new year by sharing five foundational ways to invest in your wellness so your routines feel craveworthy, not forced. We discuss how pleasure, satisfaction, and real food are essential for sustainability, how to navigate cravings without shame, and why creating routines your body desires leads to lasting change.
We also dive into supporting detox pathways, balancing blood sugar, and understanding how hormonal shifts—especially changes in estrogen—impact insulin sensitivity and metabolism as women age. Ali and Becki cover practical strategies for metabolic flexibility, the role of gratitude in nervous system and metabolic regulation, and why getting outside daily may be one of the most powerful (and overlooked) tools for stress resilience and healing.

Our Keto Reset is a 12-week, real-food, functional medicine–based program designed to help you lower insulin, improve metabolic flexibility, and address the root causes behind stubborn weight loss, hormone imbalance, gut dysfunction, and chronic inflammation. Unlike traditional keto plans, this program focuses on macronutrient strategy over calorie obsession, antioxidant density, therapeutic foods, and high-quality sourcing—while eliminating ultra-processed foods and non-caloric sweeteners. The goal isn’t restriction or perfection, but teaching your body how to burn fat efficiently while feeling nourished and supported.
Throughout the program, you’ll learn how to personalize your approach using sliding-scale protocols, understand how stress, hormones, and blood sugar influence metabolism, and build sustainable habits that lead to true food freedom. With weekly live classes, Q&As, and access to Ali and Becki’s combined 20+ years of functional medicine experience, the Keto Reset is designed to work with your physiology—not against it—so you can finally feel confident, clear, and in control of your health.

Episode 473: Building your Protocol for Body Fat Burn
Are you trying to lose body fat but feel stuck despite doing “everything right”? Are calorie tracking and restrictive diets leaving you frustrated or burnt out? Are you curious how to burn fat while supporting hormones, gut health, and long-term food freedom?
In this episode, we break down how to build a body fat burning protocol using a functional medicine approach that prioritizes macronutrient strategy over calorie obsession. We explain how lowering insulin can unlock stubborn metabolism, why metabolic flexibility is the real goal, and how a Keto Reset can be used therapeutically to reduce inflammation, stabilize blood sugar, support gut health, and shift body composition—all while emphasizing antioxidant-rich, real food and sustainable behavior change. You’ll learn how we translate calorie ranges into macros, adjust targets when physiology demands it, and use food-as-medicine tools to help break a plateau, reduce cravings, balance hormones, and achieve true food freedom.

Episode 470: SSRIs on the Rise: Concerns and Safer Alternatives
SSRI prescriptions are more common than ever—but how much do we really understand about how they work, their true efficacy, and their potential downsides? In this episode, we take a deep dive into the world of SSRIs, breaking down their mechanism of action and why their use has skyrocketed in recent years.
We unpack the growing concern around emotional blunting, a well-documented effect that can leave individuals feeling flat, disconnected, or lacking drive. You’ll learn why the serotonin deficiency model falls short, what SSRIs actually do in the brain, and why so many people are placed on them without a root-cause approach. We also explore powerful food-as-medicine and lifestyle strategies proven to support mood: from low-glycemic eating and amino acid repletion, to gut health, micronutrients, and more. If you're looking to understand the full picture of SSRIs and discover evidence-backed alternatives for mental wellness, this episode is a must-listen.

Episode 469: How to Eliminate Childhood Eczema Naturally with Guest Andra McHugh
What if we told you it was possible to eliminate eczema with food as medicine? In this inspiring episode, we sit down with Andra McHugh, founder of Eczema Kids and host of the Eczema Kids Podcast, to explore how food-as-medicine can transform eczema from a lifelong battle into a healing journey. Andra shares her personal story of navigating her children’s severe eczema and how it led her to uncover the powerful connections between gut health, inflammation, and the skin. Together, we discuss the functional nutrition tools and toxin-free lifestyle strategies that can help families ditch steroids and endless trial-and-error in favor of true, lasting healing.
In this episode, Andra introduces her Eczema Elimination Method, a practical, family-centered approach to calming inflamed skin, improving sleep, and restoring balance from the inside out. Listeners will walk away with a deeper understanding of the root causes of eczema and the hope that with the right foods and daily habits, clear skin is absolutely possible. Whether you’re a parent feeling helpless or a practitioner looking for a functional framework, this conversation offers both the science and the encouragement to heal eczema naturally.
About Andra McHugh:
Andra McHugh is the founder of Eczema Kids and host of the Eczema Kids Podcast. She helps families change the trajectory of their children’s health by eliminating eczema, restoring gut balance, and lowering inflammation — all without steroids, endless guesswork, or overwhelm.

Out of that experience, she created the Eczema Elimination Method, a step-by-step system that equips families with simple food-as-medicine strategies, toxin-free lifestyle shifts, and soothing routines that actually work.
Through her podcast, programs, and line of organic skincare, Andra gives parents the tools and confidence to restore calm skin, better sleep, and thriving health — changing not just the skin, but the future of the whole family.
