Do you struggle with constant sugar cravings, afternoon energy crashes, or brain fog that makes it hard to focus on the things that matter most?

If you’ve ever wondered why your health seems to be getting worse even when you’re trying to do the right things, you’re not alone.

Welcome to Health Beyond Weight Loss, the podcast that helps you break sugar cravings through balanced blood sugar so you can regain steady energy, think clearly, and take control of your health. Through holistic health that focuses on faith, physiology, common sense, and a little humor, I help you understand and battle chronic health conditions.

I’m TaShawn Davis, Registered Nurse and Holistic Health Coach, and after more than two decades working in healthcare, I began to see a pattern. Many people are struggling with fatigue, brain fog, weight gain, type 2 diabetes, and insulin resistance, yet very few understand the simple physiology behind what’s happening inside their bodies.

On this podcast, I break down complex health topics into simple, practical conversations so you can understand how sugar, insulin resistance, and metabolic health affect the way your body functions.

Each episode helps you connect the dots between what you eat, how your body responds, and how to stabilize your blood sugar for lasting results. You’ll learn how insulin resistance impacts your energy, weight, and overall health—and how to improve it using practical strategies like intermittent fasting, low-carb, ketosis, carnivore, stress reduction, in any dietary preference, and more, so you can restore your energy and support long-term health.

If you’re ready to understand your body, break the cycle of sugar cravings, and start building real health beyond weight loss, with faith and confidence, you’re in the right place.

So grab your favorite sugar-free drink, settle in, and let’s chat about it!.

  • 31. Think Insulin Only Controls Blood Sugar? Think Again. 7 Jobs of Insulin
    2026/07/16
    Could understanding one hormone change the way you think about your entire body? Most people think insulin has just one job: controlling blood sugar. But insulin is one of the hardest-working hormones in the human body. It helps move nutrients into cells, communicates with your liver, supports muscle repair, coordinates energy storage, and helps your body respond to the food you eat. In this episode of Health Beyond Weight Loss, Registered Nurse TaShawn Davis, RN, breaks down the 7 essential jobs of insulin using simple, practical analogies that make physiology easy to understand. You'll also hear the inspiring story of Louis, a gentleman I coached live on the radio for 14 weeks. During a recent podcast interview, he shared how much his life has changed. Friends noticed he was glowing, had more energy, and seemed happier. His story reminds us that understanding our bodies can lead to hope and healthier choices. This episode is not about blaming insulin. It's about appreciating the incredible way God designed our bodies and understanding why this remarkable hormone is so important. In This Episode ✅ Why insulin is much more than a "blood sugar hormone" ✅ The 7 important jobs insulin performs every day ✅ How insulin helps move glucose into many cells for energy ✅ Why your body stores extra energy—and why that's part of a healthy design ✅ How insulin supports muscle growth and tissue repair ✅ The relationship between insulin and your liver ✅ Why insulin is considered a hormone messenger ✅ Louis' inspiring health journey and what we can learn from it ✅ Why understanding physiology can replace fear with hope Key Takeaways 🧠 Insulin is essential for normal metabolism and healthy body function. 🍽️ Insulin helps your body respond to the nutrients you eat. 💪 Insulin supports muscle repair by helping many cells take up amino acids after meals. 🫀 Your liver and insulin work together to help maintain normal blood glucose between meals. ⚖️ Understanding insulin helps you better understand your body—not fear it. 🙏 God designed the human body with incredible wisdom.

  • 30. Brain Fog or Memory Loss? The Hidden Side Effects of 7 Common Medications
    2026/07/13
    Could Your Medications Be Affecting Your Memory? The Questions Every Patient Should Ask Could brain fog or memory loss be about more than just getting older? Many people assume forgetfulness, mental fatigue, or difficulty concentrating are simply part of aging. But what if it's time to ask a different question? As a Registered Nurse with over 20 years of nursing experience, I've spent years caring for patients in their homes. Before every visit, I would sit in my car reviewing their chart. Time after time, I'd see memory loss or dementia listed among their diagnoses—and then I'd notice a familiar pattern in the medication list. Not because medications are bad. Not because anyone had done anything wrong. But because they reminded me to ask a simple question: "Are we only treating symptoms, or are we also asking why those symptoms developed in the first place?" In this episode of Health Beyond Weight Loss, we discuss seven common medications (or medication categories) that often lead to important conversations about sleep, nutrition, metabolism, inflammation, insulin resistance, and brain health. This episode is not about stopping medications. It's about understanding your body, partnering with your healthcare provider, and learning how to ask better questions. In This Episode ✅ Why every medication tells a story ✅ The home health nursing experience that changed how I view chronic disease ✅ Benadryl (diphenhydramine) and acetylcholine: Why long-term use deserves a conversation ✅ Proton pump inhibitors (Prilosec®, Nexium®, Protonix®): stomach acid, vitamin B12, magnesium, and the gut-brain connection ✅ Statins and cholesterol: Why cholesterol is essential for healthy cells, hormones, and brain function ✅ Anti-anxiety medications and cognitive health ✅ Prescription sleep medications versus restorative sleep ✅ Opioid pain medications and mental clarity ✅ Polypharmacy: Why medication reviews become increasingly important as medications add up ✅ Why insulin resistance may be one piece of the bigger picture for some people Key Takeaways 🧠 Every medication tells a story. 💊 Medications often treat symptoms while creating an opportunity to ask better questions about the underlying cause. 😴 Better sleep begins by understanding why you aren't sleeping. 🔥 Chronic inflammation, insulin resistance, and metabolic dysfunction can influence multiple body systems—not just blood sugar. ❤️ The goal isn't to fear medication—it's to understand your body. 🙏 God designed our bodies beautifully. Understanding physiology helps us become better stewards of our health. FEATURED RESEARCH American Geriatrics Society Beers Criteria® (2023) The AGS Beers Criteria recommends avoiding routine use of strong anticholinergic medications, including diphenhydramine (Benadryl®), in many older adults because of increased risks of confusion, falls, and cognitive impairment. https://agsjournals.onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1111/jgs.18372 Long-Term Proton Pump Inhibitor Use & Vitamin B12 Long-term proton pump inhibitor (PPI) therapy has been associated with an increased risk of vitamin B12 deficiency, which may contribute to fatigue, neuropathy, balance problems, and cognitive changes in susceptible individuals. National Institutes of Health – Office of Dietary Supplements (Vitamin B12 Fact Sheet) https://ods.od.nih.gov/factsheets/VitaminB12-HealthProfessional/ Cholesterol and the Brain Although cholesterol often receives negative attention, it plays an essential role in cell membranes, hormone production, vitamin D synthesis, bile acid production, and normal brain structure and function. The brain synthesizes most of its own cholesterol because blood cholesterol does not readily cross the blood-brain barrier.

  • 29. Your Brain Needs Fuel: What This New Study Could Mean for Mood, Memory & Mental Health
    2026/07/09
    Could Blood Sugar, Insulin Resistance & Brain Energy Affect Your Mood, Memory & Mental Health? What if your brain simply isn't getting the fuel it needs to function at its best? Most people think of insulin resistance as a blood sugar problem. But what if it affects much more than your waistline? A newly published study in the growing field of metabolic psychiatry is exploring an exciting question: Could metabolism and brain energy play a role in mood, memory, and mental health? In this episode of Health Beyond Weight Loss, TaShawn Davis, RN—Registered Nurse with over 20 years of nursing experience, Holistic Health Coach, Speaker, and Author—shares her personal story of memory loss that led her to completely rethink nutrition, along with why many of her coaching clients report improvements in brain fog, mental clarity, focus, and memory while improving their metabolic health. You'll also learn why researchers are studying the relationship between blood sugar, insulin resistance, ketones, inflammation, mitochondria, and brain function, and why this emerging science is giving hope to many people seeking to better understand the connection between the brain and metabolism. If you've ever struggled with: Brain fogForgetfulnessDifficulty concentratingMental fatigueAnxietyLow moodInsulin resistancePrediabetesType 2 diabetes ...this episode is for you. In This Episode ✔️ Why TaShawn became concerned about her memory ✔️ The newly published research that caught her attention ✔️ What is Metabolic Psychiatry? ✔️ Why your brain needs so much energy ✔️ Could insulin resistance affect the brain? ✔️ Why ketones are receiving so much research attention ✔️ The surprising role of healthy fats and cholesterol in brain health ✔️ Why many coaching clients report improvements in brain fog and mental clarity ✔️ Practical questions to ask about your own metabolic health ✔️ A biblical perspective on caring for the mind God created Key Takeaways 🧠 Your brain is an organ—and like every organ, it requires energy to function. 🩸 Blood sugar regulation affects far more than diabetes. ⚡ Researchers are exploring how insulin resistance, inflammation, and mitochondrial health may influence brain function. 🥑 Healthy fats are important building blocks for the brain. 🙏 Your health matters because your purpose matters. FEATURED RESEARCH New Research in Metabolic Psychiatry This newly published paper discusses the rapidly growing field of metabolic psychiatry, which explores how metabolism, brain energy, and mitochondrial function may influence serious mental illness and cognitive health. While this research is still evolving, it highlights an exciting shift toward understanding the brain as a metabolically active organ. Schizophrenia Bulletin (2026) Metabolic Psychiatry and Brain Energy Research https://academic.oup.com/schizophreniabulletin/article-abstract/52/4/sbag082/8725541 Nutritional and Metabolic Psychiatry Dr. Georgia Ede, internationally recognized psychiatrist and author, has helped bring attention to how nutrition, metabolism, and brain function may be connected.
