Show Notes
Episode 109. What does it take to skateboard across an entire country, and become the first woman in history to do it? In this episode, I sit down with Brooke Johnson, the trailblazer who skated from coast to coast across America to raise awareness and funds for spinal cord injury research. Brooke opens up about the moments that tested her the most, from facing fear alone on open roads to overcoming mental barriers that nearly made her quit. We dive deep into the mindset it takes to keep going when no one’s watching, the importance of mental health, and how she learned to listen to her body through hormonal fluctuations, exhaustion, and self-doubt. She shares the why behind her journey, the story that inspired her to dedicate every mile to a cause bigger than herself, and what it felt like to finally cross the finish line after thousands of miles on her board. This episode is about courage, purpose, and what happens when you refuse to let fear make your decisions for you. Brooke’s story is proof that one woman’s determination can ripple across the world, one push at a time.

Episode 117: Hi guys!!! I can’t believe I’m saying that this is the last episode of Wellness Her Way for a bit. I’m pressing pause on the show and in this episode I explain what’s been on my heart lately. I took a trip down memory lane to recap how it all started and all of the amazing things this show has brought into my life. This has been on my heart for a while now and thus was one of the toughest- yet one of my favorite episodes I’ve recorded. I think I’ve been needing a different way to connect with you guys that will still bring you just as much value- so we will still be spending time together on a weekly basis, just on Youtube instead. I can’t wait to cook together, meal prep, workout, and just live daily life together. This is a change I feel like you guys are going to love to! So it’s not goodbye- just carrying everything over to Youtube so I can give you visuals for all the habits/ things I discuss on the podcast. I’m so excited for this next chapter and am beyond grateful for all of you. Until next time!
Episode 116: Today I’m sitting down with the founders of MARA Labs, Dr. John Gildea and David Roberts, for a real conversation about inflammation, detox pathways, and metabolic health. They dive into the benefits of sulforaphane (and why it’s one of the most researched compounds for cellular health), how berberine actually works in the body, and how their supplement, GLPERFECT compares to Ozempic. We also talk about the rise of Ozempic and GLP-1 medications. They tell us the benefits, the risks, and what most people are missing when they jump straight to medication without understanding their inflammation, blood sugar, or lifestyle first. If you’ve ever wondered what moves the needle for longevity, detox pathways, metabolic support, or gut health, this episode breaks it down in a way that finally makes sense. Whether you’re supplement-curious or navigating the Ozempic conversation yourself, this is a must-listen for anyone who wants real, sustainable health, not shortcuts. For the next week, Wellness Her Way loyal listeners can get an exclusive 28% off all Mara Labs products when you go to www.mara-labs.com/GRACIE and use code GRACIE at checkout. After December 29th, the code will return to the standard 15% off. Connect with Mara Labs: HERE Supplements mentioned: BROCELITE, BERBELITE, & GLPERFECT
Episode 115. In today’s episode, I’m joined by the amazing Jazz Leaf, nutritional therapist, private chef, wellness creator, and a woman who somehow makes healthy eating feel fun, flavorful, and genuinely doable. We walk through what shaped her love for food to discovering how nourishing meals transformed her own health. Jazz shares what it was really like working as a private chef for athletes, how she fueled performance, and what goes into prepping multiple meals a day at that level. We also talk about how her relationship with wellness has evolved from intense cycling to slower, more grounding movement, dialing in the basics, and navigating recovery after her cycling accident. We get into pregnancy priming (movement, and supplements), what becoming a mom has taught her, and how she introduces wellness to her daughter in a fun, digestible way. Jazz also opens up about the challenges of balancing motherhood with self-care and the routines that actually help.. If you love food, wellness, or simply want to feel inspired by a woman who does it all with grace, this episode is for you.

Episode 114: Primally Pure founder, Bethany McDaniel explains the power of non-toxic beauty for our hormone health. She shares her knowledge about endocrine disrupting ingredients, how they affect our body, and what simple changes we can make in our environment to improve our health.
