Today is how to FEEL like yourself again, and better, because you can get the body and still not feel like you. I start with the sentence I hear on every call: "I just don't feel like myself." Then the three ways it actually shows up. Feeling flat with no spark, even when life looks good on paper. Tired but wired, snapping over nothing, awake at 3 AM. And numb, living in your head, disconnected from your own body. Then the solutions. Breath and long exhales, heart coherence at about six breaths a minute, and what your HRV and resting heart rate are really telling you. The labs I want you to look at, including a four point cortisol test and blood work through Function Health . And the deepest one, the future self activation I do every morning, plus the alignment questions that decide whether any of it sticks. If you want to do this work with me, The Spark is open. One on one, three months, activations plus labs, nutrition, protocols and peptides. There are 8 spots and application calls are 15 minutes.

Episode #453
I don't want you chasing the woman you were two years ago or before kids. I want you stepping into the woman you're becoming. This is part one of a three part series on how to look like yourself again, and better. We get honest about weight and body composition: why lighter doesn't always mean better, why so many women are trading fat for frailty, and why a GLP-1 plateau usually isn't a dose problem. Across published trials of semaglutide and tirzepatide, lean mass makes up 25 to 39% of the weight lost, and muscle is the tissue that keeps your metabolism going. Then I give you my three practical fixes: eat enough protein (one gram per pound of ideal body weight, front loaded in the morning), lift heavy with progressive overload, and stop measuring the wrong thing. I share how I weigh myself around my cycle, why I recommend a DEXA scan once or twice a year, my weekly training split, and the formula I use with every client: regulate your nervous system, build the foundation, then add peptides. If you want me to build this with you, The Spark , my 12 week one on one program, is open with only eight spots. I TALK ABOUT: 05:53 A three part series, and where my peptide content lives now 07:40 Why "and better": the future you, not the old you 11:43 Lighter doesn't always mean better 16:28 Trading fat for frailty 17:45 The GLP-1 plateau and muscle loss 21:34 Eating healthy and still losing muscle 24:31 Fix 1: eat enough protein (plus weighing and DEXA scans) 34:53 Fix 2: lift heavy and progressive overload 39:05 Fix 3: stop measuring the wrong thing 40:20 The formula: foundations, nervous system, then peptides 44:24 The Exhale, The Spark and a sign from the universe RESOURCES: The Spark , my 12 week one on one program.

Episode #452
Welcome to The LongHer Life, formerly Biohacking with Brittany. To kick off this new era, I'm not giving you a list of supplements. I'm giving you me. These are 10 things you probably don't know about me, and some of them I've never said on the mic before. I share why I outgrew Biohacking with Brittany, and I read you the letter I wrote to my old self to close that chapter. Then we go deep: growing up in South Africa and moving to Canada at 7, my parents' divorce and caring for them as a teenager, growing up very Christian and where I stand with faith and spirituality now, my breech baby and traumatic birth, and the postpartum anxiety and intrusive thoughts I didn't recognize until I came out of them. I also open up about the hardest season of my marriage, how I pick up on energy, the signs I keep getting that I'm going to have twins, why I thought I'd never work one on one again, and what it's like being a visionary who still has mom guilt. If you want to work with me, The Spark, my new 12 week one on one program , is open now. Early bird pricing and the first edition founder's box end September 27.

Episode #451
Magic mushrooms used to mean a party drug or a bad trip. Today psilocybin is in phase 3 clinical trials, and more women than you would ever guess are quietly microdosing for anxiety, creativity and the mental load of motherhood. In this episode I share why I microdose, how I do it, and everything I wish every woman knew before she tried it. I explain what psilocybin actually is, how much a microdose really is (and what I take), and what happens in your brain: the serotonin 2A receptor, BDNF, neuroplasticity, and why the loop of overthinking goes quiet. Then the energetic side: the crown chakra, the pineal gland, how psilocybin literally changes your brain's frequencies, and why sound has always been part of this medicine. I also get personal. My own microdosing journey before and after postpartum, my Sunday batch cooking ritual, the postpartum anxiety and intrusive thoughts I did not realize I had until I came out of them, and how microdosing helps me stay open to solutions instead of forcing the how. Join me live for The Exhale, my free 90 minute masterclass on peptides, longevity and the nervous system, on September 22 at 2 PM Eastern.
