Encore for this amazing episode because even if you never have a sip of wine this interview is fascinating! Zack is a wealth of knowledge about the microbiome as well as how to “teach” a favorable, safe bacteria that’s already in our gut how to metabolize a breakdown product of alcohol through genetic modification. It sounds like science fiction - and it sounds scary. I mean GMO right?? But it turns out how bacteria are modified is very different than modifying plants in our food source for a couple of reasons making this FDA regulated product very safe and without immune or inflammatory consequences that could come from changing the food we eat (i.e. GMO soy or hybridized wheat).
And this product is very effective! I share with Zack in the interview how skeptical I was of ZBiotic having any effect on how I felt the next day after having a glass of wine. Truth be told it was like it never happened. So I was thrilled to have Zack on the show to talk about how this product works and how they created it.

We all know the downsides of alcohol, but it is still something many decide to enjoy on occasion. Most of us also notice that especially as we get into our 40s and beyond that one glass of wine feels like way more than a glass the next day. If you choose to indulge, one dose of ZBiotics before drinking any alcohol can make you feel way less yucky the next day! Cool…but how? The yuck the day after having alcohol is due to a buildup of acetaldehyde (a byproduct of alcohol metabolism). ZBiotics is a probiotic formula that helps you break down acetaldehyde in the gut so you can have a great workout and a great day even after a drink the night before.

WHIP: walking, heavy weights, intensity and plyometrics. That’s my system for the four things we need to have covered with our training program as women. This system becomes more important with every passing year - and for a variety of reasons, it can be harder and harder to do! It may be finding the time, lack of know-how or fear of injury, waning motivation or simply not understanding the benefits these four aspects give us.
I cover all of that in this episode including how to know if your weighs are “heavy enough” and a phased approach to incorporating plyometrics - and how that move in particular can really enhance our livelihood as we age. It’s all about power and agility and we need that more and more yet many of us are lacking this aspect from our training.

Did you know that 95% of women taking a prenatal are still nutrient deficient? The founders of Needed saw this as a big problem and I couldn’t agree more! But Needed quickly became a bigger solution to a bigger problem by providing more options for moms and moms to be. Women need so much support during the time from thinking about getting pregnant all the way to having little ones and so often they are left with options that don’t address their needs (prenatals that have nutrients in the wrong forms or that they can’t take due to nausea) or they are left with low energy, anxiety or even colds/flus while they are pregnant or nursing because there aren’t natural products that are considered safe during these times. Needed solved all of these problems as well as created a community of no-guilt, education and support for new moms and moms to be.

Can we all believe it’s been 5 years since this book came out??? I can’t! She was a labor of love and years of experience that we attempted to distill into a simple framework that didn’t create more stress and overwhelm. It also had to be one that honored all of our hormones lest we follow one a bit of advice for one hormone that throws another hormone out of whack…and it had to be customizable right down to the workouts. But I think we did it! What I wanted to do in this episode is revisit those 5 Habits from the book and see how they hold up all these years later and share what I’d change if I wrote the book today.
And to boot I’ve put the online, coaching program that accompanies the plan in Hangry on a very BIG SALE! It’s $200 off and this is a one time deal that expires January 22, 2024!
