165: How to Teach Kids Healthy Eating Without Dieting | Lizzie Ens
<p>Teaching kids healthy eating means showing them how to fuel their bodies and explaining why, without putting them on a diet or turning dinner into a fight. If you spent years stuck in diet culture with a bad relationship with food, your biggest fear might be passing that on to your kids. So you stay quiet, avoid calling any food bad, and hope for the best. Here's the thing. Your kids do not need rules and restriction. They need an example to follow and simple reasons that make sense to them.</p><p>In this solo episode of The...
164: Why Are My Periods So Painful? The Real Root Cause | Lizzie Ens
<p>Why are my periods so painful? For most women, the answer is a root cause no one looked for, like dehydration, high estrogen, inflammation from sugar and seed oils, or missing vitamins and minerals. If you have been bent over in pain, stuck in bed for a day, bleeding for weeks, or not getting a period at all, you have probably been told this is just normal. Here's the thing. Common does not mean normal. And birth control can quiet heavy, painful, or irregular periods without ever fixing what is driving them.</p><p>In this solo episode of...
163: How to Tell Someone You Were Sexually Assaulted | Lizzie Ens
<p>NOTE: This episode discusses sexual assault and abuse. </p><p>Speaking up about sexual assault means telling someone what happened to you, even when shame, fear, or the person who hurt you told you to keep quiet. If you have held it inside for years because you thought no one would believe you, you are not alone. Here's the thing. The freeze response, self-blame, and memories that surface years later are all normal ways your body handles trauma. They are not proof that it was your fault. And as the Cornell 7 case shows, victim blaming still keeps far too...
162: Not All Peptides Are GLP-1s: What Women Need to Know | Lizzie Ens
<p>Peptides for beginners starts with one simple truth: not all peptides are GLP-1s, and your body already makes its own natural peptides. If you keep seeing peptides all over your feed and you still don’t know what they are, what they do, or whether they are safe, you are not alone. Here’s the thing. Jumping in without the right education, the right provider, or the basics in place can waste your money and cause real damage inside your body.</p><p>Lizzie Ens, functional nutrition coach, business owner, author, and speaker, gets real about the peptides that...
161: What Causes Hashimoto's? The Hidden Trauma Link | Lizzie Ens
<p>What causes Hashimoto's? Hashimoto's is an autoimmune condition where your immune system attacks your thyroid, and one of the most overlooked root causes is trauma you never got to speak about. If you feel exhausted all the time, your hair is thinning, foods that never bothered you now do, or you ride a roller coaster of good days and crash days, your thyroid antibodies could be the reason. Here's the thing: most doctors only check your TSH and maybe your free T4. They skip your antibodies, so you end up guessing instead of testing.</p><p>On this episode...
160: Hypothyroid Symptoms But Your Labs Look Normal? | Lizzie Ens
<p>Hypothyroidism symptoms with normal labs happen when your thyroid blood work falls inside standard lab ranges but is still far from optimal for your body. You feel exhausted, foggy, cold, and nothing like yourself. Your hair is falling out, your skin is dry, and your voice feels strained by the end of the day. Then your doctor tells you your thyroid is fine. Here's the thing: normal does not mean optimal, and that gap may be exactly why you feel dismissed.</p><p>On this episode of The Lizzie Ens Show, Lizzie Ens, functional nutrition coach, business owner, author...
159: Hashitoxicosis: When Your Thyroid Swings Too Far | Lizzie Ens
<p>Signs of hyperthyroidism are easy to miss, especially when they show up as heart palpitations, unexplained heat, or exhaustion that will not go away. If your heart has started racing for no clear reason, you feel hot when everyone around you is comfortable, or you wake up from a full night of sleep still tired, an overactive thyroid could be the reason. Hyperthyroidism symptoms get mistaken for anxiety, perimenopause, or plain burnout more often than not, which is almost exactly what happened to Lizzie Ens.</p><p>Lizzie Ens, functional nutrition coach, business owner, author, and speaker, walks you...
158: The Weight Comes Off When You Fix This First | Lizzie Ens
<p>Still feel fat after losing weight? Lizzie Ens says the scale was never the problem, your relationship with yourself is. If you have done the six-week program, hit your protein goals, or even used a GLP-1 and the number finally moved, but you still see yourself as overweight, not enough, or stuck repeating old patterns, this episode explains why. Self-sabotage after weight loss, body image struggles after a real transformation, and the urge to keep chasing a smaller number all trace back to the same unfinished work: the relationship you have with yourself.</p><p>Lizzie Ens, functional nutrition...
157: Why You Can’t Lose Weight and Keep It Off Until You do THIS | Lizzie Ens
<p>Trauma and weight loss are more connected than most people realize, and if you have done everything right on paper, tracked your food, hit your steps, and cleaned up your diet, and the scale still will not move, unresolved trauma is often the reason your body will not let go. </p><p>Suppressed emotions, unspoken resentment, and old wounds do not just sit in your mind, they get trapped in your liver, your kidneys, your lungs, and even your fat cells, and your body holds onto weight for as long as it is holding onto pain. If you are...
156: Habit Stacking for Weight Loss That Actually Sticks | Lizzie Ens
<p>Habit stacking is the simple, sustainable strategy that makes lasting weight loss possible without another restrictive diet. If you have started and quit more nutrition programs than you can count, habit stacking is the reason some women finally keep results while everyone else yo-yos back to square one. </p><p>In this episode, Lizzie breaks down why small, stacked habits like a daily walk, tracking your food, and hitting a protein goal beat any all-or-nothing plan, and why most people quit around week three simply because the process gets boring, not because it stopped working.</p><p>Lizzie Ens...
