E304: The Men's Health Conversation We're Not Having with Dr. Tracy Gapin MD

In this episode, I’m talking with Dr. Tracy Gapin about the health challenges men often overlook as they move through their 40s and 50s. We dive into sleep and sleep apnea, declining testosterone, endocrine disruptors, metabolic health, estrogen, gut health, essential lab testing, and why optimizing men’s health requires looking beyond a single hormone or symptom. Dr. Gapin also shares practical advice for men who want to improve their health and for the women who want to encourage the men in their lives to take action. Dr. Tracy Gapin, MD, is a urologist, TEDx speaker and bestselling author who spent more than 20 years in traditional healthcare before shifting his focus toward precision performance medicine. After experiencing his own struggles with weight, stress, sleep, energy, and cognitive function, he pursued training in functional medicine, hormones, epigenetics, peptides, optimization, performance, and longevity. He is the founder of Peak Launch, a clinical practice focused on helping high-performing executives and entrepreneurs identify the biological factors limiting their health and performance.

E303: What Real Health Transformation Actually Looks Like: How Three Women Took Back Their Health

In this special episode of Wellness Your Way, I’m letting you hear directly from three incredible women who have transformed their health with the Lyons’ Share Wellness. Samara shares how she built strength, improved her metabolic health, and learned that consistency matters more than perfection; Natalie explains how she moved beyond calorie counting and intense exercise to improve her labs, digestion, energy, and relationship with food; and Macey shares how addressing her nervous system, metabolism, and nutrient absorption helped transform her energy, digestion, and skin. Their stories are different, but they all demonstrate the power of personalized care, patience, consistency, and learning to work with your unique body rather than against it.

E302: Self-Care or Self-Comfort? One Question That Could Change Your Health with Carrie Lupoli

If you've ever wondered why you know what to do for your health but still struggle to follow through, this conversation is for you. I sit down with behavior specialist and nutritionist Carrie Lupoli to explore why lasting health isn't about more willpower… it's about shifting your beliefs, balancing your blood sugar, and changing the way you think about yourself. We discuss how diet culture disconnects us from our bodies, why sustainable habits begin with identity rather than restriction, and practical tools for creating lasting behavior change. Carrie Lupoli is a certified nutritionist, award-winning behavior specialist, podcast host, and founder of Disruptive Nutrition. After overcoming her own struggles with disordered eating, she developed a unique approach that combines behavioral science, mindset, and nutrition to help people break free from diet culture and build sustainable health habits. She is also the author of From Corset to Crown, which explores the connection between self-worth, confidence, and wellness.

E301: Should You Work Out Fasted? The Science May Surprise You

Have you ever wondered whether you should eat before your workout or train on an empty stomach? It's one of the most debated topics in fitness, and like most nutrition questions, the answer isn't one-size-fits-all. In this episode, I'm breaking down the science behind fasted versus fed training, who benefits most from each approach, and why your hormones, workout intensity, and goals all matter.
