In this conversation, I got to drop in with one of my favorite humans, Sloane, and we went there. You know, the places that get messy and beautiful and real: boundaries, co-dependence, self-trust, and what it actually means to live in alignment with your body.

We talked about why so many of us struggle to say no, how our culture disconnects us from our physical wisdom, and how to start listening to the sensations that are always trying to guide us.

Whether you’re navigating family dynamics, running a heart-led business, or just learning how to stop performing for love, this episode is your permission slip to honor your truth, reclaim your energy, and trust your inner knowing.

Key Takeaways:

• A boundary isn’t a boundary without a consequence. Otherwise, it’s just a preference.

• If you keep letting people cross your boundaries, your body starts to believe it can’t trust you.

• The body always knows. Light and spacious = yes. Crunchy and tight = nope.

• Co-dependence can feel like a connection until it doesn’t.

• You’re allowed to disappoint others to stay in integrity with yourself.

• “No” is a complete sentence. And it doesn’t make you mean. It makes you honest.

• The more you speak your truth, the more magnetic and safe you become, for yourself and others.

This is the work. This is the real stuff. It’s not about learning how to say no perfectly or becoming some boundary queen overnight. It’s about reconnecting to your own body, your own knowing, and your own deep desire to live fully and honestly.

Let this be a little wake-up call or maybe a deep exhale, reminding you that your intuition is always speaking. Your body is always guiding. And your truth is always enough.

This episode is a heart-expanding masterclass in truth-telling about the food on our plates. Dr. Nikki sits down with the legendary Dr. Michael Klaper MD, plant-based pioneer, and all-around beautiful human, to unpack the science, soul, and spiritual responsibility behind our dietary choices.

Together, they tackle the most common question in the plant-based world: “But where do you get your protein?” (Spoiler alert: same place elephants and gorillas do. Plants, baby!) But that’s just the appetizer. We dive deep into the toxic toll of animal-based diets, on our health, our hearts, our ecosystems, and our humanity.

WHAT YOU’LL LEARN:

• Why protein deficiency is a myth (and how gorillas prove it)

• The 4 foods to avoid right now to reduce inflammation and disease

• How dairy hijacks your hormones and fuels conditions like fibroids and prostate cancer

• What microplastics, fish, and fast food have in common (hint: it’s not good)

• Why fasting and juice cleanses are ancient keys to modern healing

• How to stop the post-cleanse feeding frenzy with grace and long-term success

• The real role of doctors—and why medicine must move forward

Stop waiting for a diagnosis. Start listening to your body. Your healing begins at your next bite. Share this episode with someone you love and let's all move medicine forward—together.

After a two-year deep-dive into the mystery of midlife, massive healing, and divine downloads, Dr. Nikki is BACK with a powerful rebrand and renewed purpose. Welcome to Conscious Kitchen Radio, where the personal meets the planetary, and your detox becomes humanity’s regeneration.

In this fiery, love-packed solo episode, Dr. Nikki opens the doors (and windows!) to a new season of conscious conversations, reminding us that our health is an ecosystem, and our bodies are not separate from our homes, our environment, or even the fish in the sea (yes, really).

In This Episode:

• The three core toxins affecting your health: home, body, mind

• How everyday choices, from laundry sheets to water bottles, are either polluting or purifying you (and the planet)

• Dr. Nikki’s water fast journey (recorded on day 5!) and why your body is an intuitive genius if you just get out of the way

• What we can learn from Oprah, ancient wisdom, Harvard, and her EMF detector

• The connection between trauma, stories, breathwork, and why your thoughts literally make you sick (or not)

• An invitation to radically reclaim your health, your joy, your glow, and your purpose

This episode is the exact transmission you didn’t know your nervous system needed. It’s honest. It’s spiritual. It’s science. It’s kitchen counter wisdom from someone who’s been through the burnout, the toxins, and the transformation.
