How to make the most of a dedicated reflection time
My 12 end-of-year reflection questions for your 2025

QUOTES

“I feel like this is the season of slowing down or at least becoming a bit more discerning about what we’re saying yes to and what we’re saying no to.”

“I want to invite you into an end-of-year reflection practice, not the kind that’s overwhelming or guilt-inducing. Just real simple questions that help us reconnect with what worked, what didn’t, and who we want to be, and who we need to be in the next year to come because without reflection, we are destined to repeat.”

“May 2026 be your most vibrant, energized, and aligned year yet– may you get all the wins, or at least one, right? Give me the wins!”

Episode Summary

If you’ve been doing everything right—eating clean, exercising, and taking your supplements—but still feel tired, bloated, or off, this episode is going to change the way you think about your health.

I’m joined by the incredible Kim Rogers, better known online as the “Worm Queen,” who’s pulling back the curtain on the hidden world of parasites and why so many of us are unknowingly affected by them.

With 20+ years in Western medicine and a powerful personal healing story through Lyme, mold, and parasite infections, Kim brings both science and passion to this eye-opening conversation.

You’ll learn why regular parasite cleansing can be a total game-changer for your energy, digestion, skin, and overall vitality.

All of us should be doing a parasite cleanse– it’s safe, effective, and an incredible way to be proactive about our health.

Tune in to this episode and feel empowered to take your healing into your own hands!

Kim Rogers

Kim worked in western medicine for over 20 years, ran 25 healthcare colleges, was a professor, author, and holds 2 healthcare degrees– all while dealing with her own chronic illnesses. In July, 2021 Kim came across a video on Tiktok talking about parasite cleansing. She gave it a try, and because it was so successful, she saw a need to help others heal. She started her company RogersHood in December 2021 making ParaFy Parasite cleanse kit to help others cleanse their bodies of unwanted parasites, candida, heavy metals, and toxins. Her mission is to help improve testing for environmental toxins for everyone!

QUOTES

“The herbs that we used are specifically because they’re gentle and we should all be cleansing. We should all be doing this just as a proactive way, not so much as a reactive one… It’s really a sad thing, the state we’re seeing chronic illness at.”

“60 million people in the United States have parasites that have been tested. That’s through an approved lab to give us that number.”

“I’m trying to teach and show people how to be sovereign over your own health and body so that you have a little more control. Chronically ill people, one of the biggest things is that I lost control over sovereignty with my own body over an illness, and over other people around me telling me what’s wrong with me, and I really want to give that control back to people.”

Episode Summary

Ready to boost your energy and future-proof your health?

In this episode, I’m joined by expert neuroscientist Dr. Siobhan Mitchell, who breaks down why your mitochondria—the tiny powerhouses inside your cells—are the secret to healthy aging.

She explains how the perimenopause and menopause transition is not just hormonal, but a neuroendocrine shift that impacts your brain, mood, energy, AND vitality.

And even if you’re doing your best to bring on lifestyle recommendations for optimizing mitochondrial health, odds are you still need more support than just that in midlife. So, that’s where the supplement MitoQ comes into play.

As MitoQ’s Chief Scientific Officer, Dr. Mitchell reveals how this advanced antioxidant works deep inside your cells to enhance mitochondrial function, boosting mental clarity and long-term longevity.

Tune in and discover how to fuel your energy, elevate your mood, and embrace midlife feeling stronger than ever!

She was also senior director at Noom, where she directed a team investigating chronic disease management, weight loss, and mental health digital programs using cognitive behavior therapy methods.

QUOTES

“You get these overactive mitochondria that are also producing energy and oxidative stress at much higher levels, and these oxidative stress mechanisms can also bring on faster aging through inflammation and things like that.”

“[MitoQ] is basically helping protect your mitochondria from excessive oxidative stress. It gets into the mitochondria better than any other supplement on the market because it was especially engineered to have this tag that allows it to get into the mitochondria up to [about] 90%.”

Episode Summary

Have you heard all the hype around Urolithin A?

In this episode, I sit down with expert integrative and functional nutritionist, Jennifer Scheinman, to dive into one of the most exciting breakthroughs in women’s health and longevity—Urolithin A.

This little-known yet well-researched natural molecule has been shown in studies to significantly improve muscle strength and function, helping combat the age-related muscle decline so many of us experience in midlife.

We’ll unpack how Urolithin A supports mitochondrial health—the very core of our energy production—so you can feel more vibrant and strong at every stage.

Plus, Jennifer shares how topical Urolithin A can even target the internal and external signs of skin aging, giving your skin and cells a rejuvenating boost.

Ready to feel vibrant, strong, and glow from the inside out? Tune in here to feel truly energized from the cellular level up!

QUOTES

“Other things we saw in that study were improvements in things like inflammatory markers, which we know chronic inflammation is a huge issue as we start to get older. We saw specifically C-reactive protein was lowered, and we saw other markers of muscle health that, while they didn’t make statistical significance, they were trending that way.”

“It stays very potent and very localized– a benefit to the skin. So you’re having that same cellular turnover of the mitochondria, basically making the mitochondria in your skin act in a more youthful way.”

“Even just after 2 weeks, we start to see improvements that are visibly noticeable. And then when we take that out to 8 weeks, it’s statistically significant improvements in wrinkle reduction and in wrinkle depth. So, [it’s] really powerful but gentle.”
