  • Ep. 437 The Sugar Addiction No One Talks About — and How to Heal with Wendy Speake
    2025/06/10
    What would happen if we set down sugar for 40 days? Back in 2014, Wendy began—with an organic movement—asking herself and other women this very question… And the movement caught on! The thousands who joined her realized part way into it that this wasn’t just about a health fast– it was a spiritual fast. Wendy and her friends were faced with the fact that they’d been going to sugar for comfort, instead of going to God. Rather than going from sugar-high to sugar-high, it was time to turn back to the Most High! In this podcast we discuss the physical, mental and spiritual benefits that happened when women joined Wendy and fasted from sugar for 40 days. And how that led to a future life free from sugar’s bondage for so many. (And how that crossed paths with Trim Healthy Mama.) Wendy Speake is the author of multiple books, including The 40-Day Sugar Fast, The 40-Day Social Media Fast, and The 40-Day Feast. She’s also co-author of the popular parenting book Triggers: Exchanging Parents' Angry Reactions for Gentle, Biblical Responses. Known for the uncanny way she meets women in their most common struggles, from sugar-addiction to mommy-anger, Wendy uses every opportunity to point readers to the healing and transforming power found in God's Word.

  • Ep. 436 Midlife Weight Gain: When Your Body Isn’t Cooperating (Yet)
    2025/06/03
    The Meat: What is the gist of what we’ve been saying the last couple of years? Bring back the hormones (BRHT): The health fat loss can take time, when you’re on BHRT. Sometimes you gain first, when you’re on estrogen, for instance. Get the carbs back (Celebrate Carbs!): When your metabolism is healing, there’s a bit of bounce back. You gain some weight, and then will lose later. Trust the process. Eat your protein (25 grams per meal): The muscle to fat ratio is changing when you start increasing your protein intake Go get in the gym (Lift heavy!): This journey isn’t about being thin – it’s about being STRONG. But you are becoming a burner! And someone just told us: “I’ve been doing everything you’ve said! And I’m gaining weight, not losing. What do I do??” And our message is: You’re on a healing journey. Emphasis on the journey. It’s taking time. You don’t always drop weight immediately. Sometimes you gain first. Don’t give up. Embrace the uniqueness of your body Join Pearl and Serene on the Trim Healthy Podcast (a.k.a. “The Poddy”).Welcome to the spot where Pearl and Serene share their knowledge and their hearts (along with Danny’s antics) on topics ranging from physical and mental health to spiritual truth, and, yes… even a little comic relief.

  • Ep. 435 Top 3 Ways To Rebuild Your Gut Microbiome
    2025/05/27
    Episode 435: Rebuild Your Microbiome The Meat: What are the top 3 ways to rebuild your microbiome and the health of your gut? You want an INVINCIBLE microbiome! We’re giving you the keys to the car. Number #1: How to rebuild and cultivate the health of your microbiome…KEFIR. (Not the store bought stuff). Traditional, home fermented kefir. You can get powders from Cultured Food Life (our partner). Even those who think it’s too hard… You can do it! You get up to 50 strains of healing bacteria… Drink daily if you can. Purchase Easy Starter: https://store.trimhealthymama.com/product/easy-kefir-powder/ Number #2: How to rebuild and cultivate the health of your microbiome… BAOBAB. Up to 2-3 TBSP per day Regular baobab consumption significantly increases gut microbiome diversity, as seen in both Hadza tribespeople and modern users, supporting better metabolic health. Baobab helps lower blood sugar and improve insulin sensitivity, partly due to its tartness and powerful polyphenols like epicatechin and procyanidins. It naturally promotes GLP-1 production, mimicking the effects of some blood sugar-lowering medications, especially when combined with kefir. Baobab is 70–80% fiber, with two-thirds being prebiotic, which fuels gut bacteria and leads to the creation of health-boosting postbiotics. Buy Our Baobab: https://store.trimhealthymama.com/product/baobab-boost-powder-11oz-bag/ Number #3: How to rebuild and cultivate the health of your microbiome… Fermented Plants. Compared to high-fiber foods alone, fermented veggies show significantly stronger and faster gut-health benefits. Fermented veggies increase gut microbe diversity, improving whole-body health and immune function. They help lower blood lipids, reduce inflammation, and support healthy weight and blood pressure. Fermented foods reduce the activation of immune cells and decrease inflammatory proteins like interleukin 6. The Power Veggies?

  • Ep. 434 The Two Best Ways to Beat Sugar for Good!
    2025/05/20
    Sometimes we need reminders in the most basic ways… and today we’re back to the most basic reminder. We gotta talk about it… Sugar. People tell us all the time how they feel addicted to sugar. Sugar is the villain in the story of epigenetics. It actually exploits all of the bad things in your genetics! If there is one real “bad guy” – it is white, refined SUGAR. It can cause decay in emotions, in relationships, in your mind. Yes, there are foundational issues that it causes – insulin spikes, chronic inflammation, microbiome disruption, and dopamin dysregulation. But there are deeper destructive pathways that are hacked by sugar… You need to know what it is doing to your DNA! Negative DNA changes can be directly traced unhealthy sugar consumption. A couple easy recipes to help the Snack Needs and GGMS: An easy non-sugar hack… THM Protein Ball Recipe INGREDIENTS: 1 cup unsweetened coconut flakes (shredded) 3 Tbs TH Integral Collagen 1⁄4 cup TH Pristine Protein Powder or TH Optimized Whey Protein Powder, flavor of choice 1⁄2 cup extra virgin coconut oil 2 tsp TH Natural Burst Vanilla Extract 2 pinches TH Mineral Salt 2 tsp TH Super Sweet Blend 1 Tbs unsweetened almond milk INSTRUCTIONS: 1.

  • Ep. 433 Supplements That Act Like Therapeutic Medicine—Here’s What We Did Differently
    2025/05/13
    The Banter: No show socks for men… yes or no? Team Serene against or pro? The Meat: Supplements and how or do they matter? Over the years doing this Trim Healthy thing we started developing a few different supplement lines. This happened a number of times with different companies. But we had to stop the process every time. We felt like we were just going through the motions to launch supplements (like a sexy multivitamin) and they wouldn’t really help people (even though they could make our company money and perhaps turn some people’s pee bright yellow). That didn’t sit right in our guts. Everything changed when we had a deep conversation with Jordan Rubin (author of The Maker’s Diet) on his regenerative farm. We talked about ancient healing and the things from the earth our forefathers knew to use to optimize health. And that’s where our Bio-Organ Therapy line had its genesis! We knew this ancient path would lead us to developing supplements that would actually bring therapeutic benefits. Basic nutrition (what we eat) is foundational but many of us need or want something more when living in this day and age where toxins abound and viruses of all kinds threaten. Using regenerative animal organs, mushrooms, potent plant extracts and healthy bacteria, we developed 3 incredible supplements with a team of naturally minded supplements. We take the principles of like-treats-like, and this ancient philosophy, and have made each one into something truly transformative. Introducing the 3-pronged Bio-Organ Therapy! During this show, we navigate through all the benefits of these supplements. Why would you take them? How they work. What supplements can they replace and many more questions answered. 1.

  • Ep. 432 The Best Kind of Detox
    2025/05/06
    The Banter: If your man wants to increase his testosterone levels and he doesn’t want to get on T therapy yet… jury is back… chopping wood is the best T booster. The Meat: Time to talk about a new detox program…it’s one of the healthiest things you can do but it’s probably not what you’re thinking. Serene leads this one… she’s detoxing from… Serene! Others can see us more clearly than the way we see ourselves. How do we want to show up to others… even when we think (know) we’re right and they don’t get it? Do we really see ourselves in our conversations? Are we just retorting with “ping pong” answers or can we take a real, good, long, raw, truthful look at ourselves and how we react to the ones we interact with? If we get honest… if we really humble ourselves, there is such joy… true sweet joy that comes with saying sorry. There’s actually physical healing in a sorry when it is needed. Detoxing from yourself is healing for your whole mind and body and Serene shares her own journey into baby stepping into this letting go of her old self and growing into the new.

  • Ep. 431 Teeth, Gut, Carbs, and Life: Why Thriving Takes Work (And What Japan Taught Me)
    2025/04/29
    The Banter: After getting back from Japan, we have a proposal being given for adult uniforms. For everyday life – like work, and normal routines – uniforms are in (no thoughts necessary). But for going out on dates with husbands, you can wear all kinds of clothes. The Meat: It’s time for Pearl’s proverbs. Yes, truth bombs from the big sister. Teeth don’t brush themselves... Our microbiome doesn’t flourish by itself. Your garden doesn’t weed itself. So, when we go into menopause there are things we can do to make life healthier, do enrich ourselves, to make ourselves strong. There are things we can and SHOULD do. Otherwise they will atrophy by divine design. Here in our earthsuit, we must take care of it. If carbs are so BAD, why is Japan so GOOD?! Obesity is so rare in Japan, and it is dietary (not genetic. They love carbs. And have healthy portions. They also walk a lot... And you can truly see the beauty of humanity as you spend time in Japan. Let’s not blame carbohydrates for the evils of our unhealthy culture. Because Japan is the land of carbs. There is a time for cheat meals. If your cheat meal is a double burger with fries and a frosty once a week, you’re going to defeat all your efforts. But within reason, there is room for “Vitamin P.” Be a well-nourished woman. I don’t want to be a stick. I don’t want to be “skinny.” There are cultural pulls that tell us we have to be tiny people. But there is healthy fat, and healthy muscles that makes you a better, healthy more nourished woman. And we don’t need to try for that unhealthy stereotype… nor should we. Let’s embrace true health. Let’s embrace being highly nourished. Join Pearl and Serene on the Trim Healthy Podcast (a.k.a. “The Poddy”).
