In this episode, I’m breaking down everything I’ve learned about visceral fat the kind you can’t always see, but that can seriously impact your health. I was shocked to learn it’s even connected to diastasis recti, something many women deal with postpartum and beyond.

I’ll explain how visceral fat messes with our hormones, especially insulin and cortisol, and why reducing it is about so much more than fitting into jeans it’s about protecting your long-term health.

I’m also sharing what I personally do to reduce visceral fat, including my experience using Lean Peptides from Make Wellness. These are natural, non-synthetic peptides that support your body’s fat-burning process with ingredients like L-Carnitine, CoQ10, and the Apticurb Trimfast Complex™.

🔑 What You’ll Hear Me Talk About:

• What visceral fat really is and how it’s different from the fat under your skin
• The surprising connection between visceral fat and diastasis recti
• How it disrupts your hormones (hello, insulin resistance and stubborn belly fat)
• My favorite lifestyle shifts to support fat loss naturally
• Why I’ve added Make Wellness Lean Peptides to my own routine

In this episode, I break down how to use your basal body temperature (BBT) to better understand your hormones, fertility, and overall wellness. I walk through how to track it with wearables and explain what’s actually happening in your body through the menstrual, follicular, ovulatory, and luteal phases.

What You’ll Learn:

• Why BBT is one of the most underused tools for hormonal insight
• How to track your temperature using wearables and apps like Flo
• What each phase of your cycle looks like on a temperature chart
• Red flags that might point to thyroid issues, stress, or low progesterone
• How Somaderm by UNEW Life can support hormone balance naturally
• Why this method is empowering for every woman not just those trying to conceive

Mentioned in this Episode:

• Flo App (my favorite for syncing BBT)
• Oura Ring, Tempdrop (wearables that sync with Flo)
• UNEW Life Somaderm – Transdermal hormone support for women
• BBT Thermometers for manual tracking

In this powerful and insightful conversation, I get to sit down with Elle Black, the founder of Same Skincare, to explore how hormone health, skin, and self-care intersect especially for women navigating endometriosis, perimenopause, and beyond. Elle shares her deeply personal journey with stage 4 endometriosis, the motivation behind creating endocrine disruptor-free skincare, and how Same Skincare’s innovative app helps women track hormonal changes using skin as a biomarker.

We dive into practical strategies for addressing hormonal acne, the truth behind “cortisol face,” the role of gua sha and facial massage, and how women can make informed decisions about biohacking, fasting, and EDC exposure. With vulnerability and wisdom, Elle and I also reflect on fertility, gratitude, and feeling more confident in your skin.

Key Topics Covered:

The Birth of Same Skincare
Elle’s diagnosis with stage 4 endometriosis inspired her to create clean, EDC-free products that support hormonal health and fund endometriosis research.

Hormones & Skin: The Connection
How hormonal fluctuations impact skin health, from sebum production to breakouts and how the Same Skincare app personalizes skincare based on cycle tracking.

Understanding “Cortisol Face” & Inflammation
The science behind puffiness, the importance of not fearing cortisol

Skincare as a Wellness Practice
Why beauty routines should support overall well-being not just aesthetics

The Gut-Skin-Hormone Triad
Exploring the gut microbiome's impact on hormonal acne and why gentle, barrier-supporting products matter.

Biohacking for Women
Why popular bio hacks like intermittent fasting and cold plunges need to be approached differently for women and how Elle and I customize these for their bodies.
