Episode 8: YOU are your Greatest Asset (for women in hard situations)

In today's episode, I'm sharing my perspective on what it really means to be your greatest asset, especially for women walking through hard seasons where support shifts and life requires more of you than expected. I'm speaking from lived experience over hundreds of days of rebuilding, and what I've learned about having your own back, trusting your mind and intuition, and continuing to take responsibility for your life one steady step at a time. I also talk through some of the pushback I've received, particularly from parts of the faith community, and how I've worked through that while staying grounded in both my faith and my real life responsibilities. This is a conversation about personal agency, wisdom, and moving forward in a way that is thoughtful and sustainable.

Episode 7: Metabolic Learning Journey | Books, Experts, How I Chose What to Try

In today's episode of The Jamerrill Show, I'm sharing how I moved from overwhelm into learning after my metabolic lab wake-up call, and how I began sorting through the many books, experts, and voices that helped shape my understanding. I talk about what I learned from Coach Mama Fox at CoachMamaFox.com, Dr. Ben Bikman, Dr. Jason Fung, Dr. Mindy Pelz, Glucose Goddess, Dr. Casey Means, and others, and how I enjoyed learning from a variety of individuals to make small tweaks for my own bio-individual needs over many months instead of trying to change everything at once. We also talk about the practical themes that kept showing up across nearly every expert, including protein, fiber, whole foods, blood sugar balance, inflammation, and stress reduction. If you've ever felt overwhelmed by conflicting health advice and unsure where to begin, I hope this episode encourages you that healing can happen in layers, and you can learn slowly while choosing what works best for your own body and season.

Episode 6: The Metabolic Wake-Up: Lab Shock and Choosing a Starting Point

In today's episode of The Jamerrill Show, I'm sharing what happened after the weight loss, when I expected my health to be "fixed," but my lab work told a very different story. This is not medical advice and it's not a weight loss episode. This is me walking you through the next chapter of my health journey. After losing around 60 pounds and feeling hopeful, I went into my August 2024 labs expecting good news, and instead I was met with high inflammation, prediabetes, elevated insulin, and some real wake-up moments about what my body was still carrying. I share the shock, the confusion, and the overwhelm that came with that, especially while still living in a high stress season. I also talk about the conflicting advice I received, why I chose not to jump into extreme protocols, and how I had to slow down and ask myself what I actually had the capacity to do. From there, I walk you through how I found a gentle starting point, what changes I began making, and how my body started to respond over time. This episode is really about learning to listen, removing pressure, and choosing a path forward that supports your nervous system instead of overwhelming it. If you've ever felt like you're doing "everything right" and your body still isn't responding the way you expected, I hope this encourages you. You don't have to do everything. You just need a place to start. ✨ALSO MENTIONED IN TODAYS EPISODE : Grab the Free Food Noise/Food Peace Teaching & Starter Guide https://landing.mailerlite.com/webforms/landing/e5f5m0 here from Coach Mama Fox, plus here's the Foxy Over Forty free Community Group I shared, where there's MORE free teaching and tools for your over-40 health journey - https://www.facebook.com/groups/2536979519851222 You can find more from this episode, including show notes and resources, at: https://jamerrill.com Thanks for being here with me 💜

Episode 5: Trying to Hold It All Together When Your Body Is Struggling (Part Two of My 70 Pound Weight Loss Journey)

In this episode I continue sharing my health story and the years that eventually led to losing 70 pounds. Part 1 talked about the earlier seasons when my body was struggling and I did not yet understand what was happening underneath the surface. That episode covered the layered years leading up to summer 2023. In this episode I continue the story and share about the continued weight loss portion of my journey beginning in September 2023 and moving through August 2024, what started to change for me, what I was learning about my health, and how small consistent steps began to add up over time. If you are in your own messy middle with your health, doing the best you can but not seeing clear results yet, I hope this conversation encourages you. There were years where I felt confused, overwhelmed, and unsure of what my body needed. But I kept learning, kept adjusting, and kept doing what I could. Sometimes progress looks slow and uneven while you are living it. But that does not mean you are not moving forward. This episode is part of my ongoing conversation about rebuilding health, taking care of our bodies, and learning how to keep going even when life feels complicated.

Episode 4: Trying to Hold It All Together When Your Body Is Struggling (Part One of My 70 Pound Weight Loss Journey)

In this episode of The Jamerrill Show, I'm sharing part one of my 70 pound weight loss journey, but this is not a before and after story or a list of tips. This episode is about what came before the weight loss. WATCH the VIDEO Podcast here: https://youtu.be/gHDskg2Y2Ow I'm talking about the years when my body was struggling, my health was declining, and I was doing the best I could with the capacity I had at the time. Pregnancies, exhaustion, medical issues, hospitalizations, and long seasons of survival shaped this chapter of my life, and there was no clear starting line or moment where everything suddenly clicked. If you've ever felt like you were holding it together while your body was quietly waving red flags, this episode is for you. This is an honest look at what it was like to keep going when answers were slow, clarity came in pieces, and progress didn't look like forward momentum yet. This episode ends in August 2023. The next episode continues the story into what changed after that point. ✨ Show notes, resources shared, and related links are at https://jamerrill.com/ and as mentioned in several upcoming podcast episodes, here is my referral link to join Function Health which offers 160+ lab tests & insights from top doctors here: https://my.functionhealth.com/signup?code=JSTEWART49&_saasquatch=JSTEWART49&d=FHREF25
