Many consider the beginning of a New Year as a reboot to set new goals or establish new lifestyle habits. Many start with a dry January that opens new doors to self-care and exploration. I believe 2024 holds opportunity for a deeper connection with ourselves and our significant other. Authentic communication makes the world go round, inside and outside the bedroom. And, after a three-year period that I refer to as “The post-covid drag,” it’s time for a new kind of revolution that celebrates “Sexual Intimacy” with a fresh and positive perspective.

As many as 40 million Americans in romantic relationships are not having s*x.

Today’s lovely guest is Sierra Coleman, a marriage and family therapist and certified s*xologist. She specializes in working with couples and individuals, especially women, around s*xual issues and challenges.

During today’s episode, Sierra and I will explore why women struggle with low libido, lack of desire to have s*x, and why it may even feel like a chore.

We will also explore: What’s going on inside and outside the bedroom? What defines the parameters of s*xual intimacy? What factors impact a woman’s libido? Why ma********on is good medicine. AND– why you can benefit from listening to today’s conversation!

I deeply appreciate Sierra’s perspective and insights. They are super helpful, powerful, and positive.

Sweet Lovelies– 2024 may be the year that you roll back your sleeves and take a deep dive into exploring what turns you on from the inside and out and a little sideways. Welcome to THLZ!

We all go through times in our lives when we feel stuck. Maybe a relationship has become stale, a job has lost its luster, or procrastination has taken a front seat to motivation and creativity.

There's a Buddhist expression, "Congratulations, you've hit a wall." Today's podcast explores an opportunity to shift and look at what is and isn't working in our lives, even though it may feel difficult, uncomfortable, or downright scary. This wall of stuckness is a metaphoric 'pause button' that allows for possibility– shifting our thinking, revamping lifestyle choices and diet, or nourishing a new approach to life.

I'm delighted to have my dear friend Avis Cardella, an author and writer, join me today. As life happens, Avis and I hadn't spoken in a while, and during a recent Zoom catch-up call, she expressed feeling stuck for the past four months, unable to finish edits and revisions for her newest book manuscript. I suggested writing a blog or article about why she felt stuck. I also asked Avis to join me in unraveling "Being Stuck" on today’s episode.

We spoke again a few days prior to recording this podcast, and Avis had a tremendous breakthrough she'll share with you. May this conversation allow you to lean into that wall because it's calling you to birth something new within that is intended just for you.

THLZ Podcast: Getting Unstuck! - https://mailchi.mp/a23c7fd3f4d9/thlz-podcast-pelvic-floor-dysfunction-10458905

Here's a Meg staple for you! Easy to customize and leftovers for days!

Environmental chemicals and other toxins are some of the biggest endocrine disruptors for women

When your gut gets wonky, so do your hormones!

Sweet Lovlies if you don’t address underlying got issues, you’ll never balance your hormones!

Food sensitivities! They happen to the best of us but can be a major contributor as to why your hormones are a little wonky.

Happy November! What better way to start off the month than with a little bit of education? Here's day 4 of my 7 part series!

Happy Halloween everyone! Speaking of spooky... Here's another factor that may be affecting your hormone health 😱

Hi, sweet lovelies! So excited to be kicking off this week with a series all about hormones! Make sure to check back everyday for the next week as I post the 7 keys impacting your hormone health!

Hello, sweet lovelies! I'm excited to kick off this week with a series all about your hormones! Check back tomorrow to see the first of seven keys that may be impacting your hormones!

CLICK ON LINK IN BIO!Earlier this year, I attended a church service on New Year's Day with friends and was introduced to my next guest, Amber Goppert. She's the Founder and Owner of The Training Room ATL– the premier fitness facility in Atlanta, and a respected fitness influencer.

We met for coffee a few weeks later, and Amber asked me- if I'd be open to creating and coaching women through a Nutrition-Hormone-Lifestyle Program with "REAL" attainable results. And so began our partnership and evolution of TRACTION and The Women's-Rebel Jumpstart Programs

Various factors and challenges impact women's health, hormones, and body composition. I know many of you struggle with your fitness, unable to find workouts that build healthy lean mass (muscle) while reducing belly and body fat. Women want workouts that create sustainability and lasting traction. A new client recently shared her frustration, "Meg, I'm working out six days a week, lifting and doing serious cardio. I'm gaining weight and have the worst PMS! What am I doing wrong?"

We all want happy hormones! We also want to look good, feel good, feel strong and most importantly, love who we see in the mirror.

Today's conversation with Amber is about shattering myths around fitness, cardio, and weight training– eating smartly without restricting calories. Most importantly, why leaning into protein combined with resistance training is a gal's best friend. Amber will also share her story about how she hit a wall in her health, bringing life to a screeching halt, and how that experience impacts who she is today.

Sweet Lovely Welcome to The Hormone Lifestyle Zone.

Today's guest is my dear friend and colleague- Cheryl Paswater. She is an Integrative Functional Medicine Practitioner, Fermentationist, Educator, and Co-Host of Peeling the Onion Podcast.

Cheryl was also a client of mine many moons ago. I asked her to be on THLZ because I wanted Cheryl to share her crazy-bumpy health journey, which included escaping a massive fire in her Brooklyn apartment during the Fall of 2019.

For years, Cheryl did her best to navigate a conventional healthcare system that didn't provide what she needed to heal. Cheryl's struggles included asthma, allergies, candida, ADHD, undiagnosed mold exposure, and rounds of steroids and antibiotics. She peeled back the onion in every aspect of her life to reclaim her health through diligent detective work and finding the “right” functional healthcare practitioners to set her on a path of true healing. Cheryl is an inspiration to anyone struggling with their own health issues and feeling like they too tumbled down the rabbit hole.

Hi Sweet Lovelies! Please join Sande and Me as we take a deep dive into Demystifying the connection between your Hormones and Brain Fog

In between clients and meetings, I popped a 4 lb. chicken in the oven for about 75 minutes at 350. I placed an organic lemon inside the bird and pricked the lemon a cajillion times with a fork and tied the lil birdie legs together with cooking string; seasoned it with herbs de provence, garlic powder, salt, pepper, surrounded it with shallots. Prep time 5 minutes. Easy Peasy and sooooooo good! Try this recipe and let me know how it turns out!

Tomorrow is another birthday and this photo was taken with one of the most extraordinary women I know-my sister, Cathy. She was 5 and I just turned 2. I jotted down this sentence at friend’s belated birthday gathering 6 yrs ago that coincided within days of my own birthday. This celebration included an amazing group of women at a ranch in New Mexico; down the road from from Georgia O’Keeffe’s home.When I look at this photo, I realize it’s not the knowledge or per se the wisdom, but a deepening of awareness that allows me to grow along this brief journey with every turn and roll. I am so f #%*’n blessed!

Just had a fabulous brainstorming session with Amber Goppert owner of The Training Room in Atlanta… we’re joining forces and creating an amazing 12 week program for women. Yes, I’ll keep ya posted! We share the same thoughts on easy high protein meals that you can throw together in minutes. The key is having the ingredients in your fridge. After my meeting with Amber, I flew home on my bike cause I was hungry and I put together this wonderful salad in all of less than five minutes- radicchio, arugula, carrots, avocado, and about 5 to 6 ounces of chicken all the ingredients organic, and I topped that with a bunch of fresh basil, olive oil, fresh, lemon, and balsamic vinegar , including salt, pepper, and some garlic powder. So good!
