More from Fast Metabolism Matters with Haylie Pomroy
In this episode, Haylie Pomroy is joined by Dr. Gordon Crozier, osteopathic physician and Medical Director at Excellent Living Medical Center, to explore how environmental exposures may affect brain health, the immune system, and chronic illness. Dr. Crozier shares how his own unexplained illness and the lack of compassion he met along the way led him to study neurotoxicity, and why standard lab ranges can miss what is happening beneath the surface. Together, they discuss heavy metals, plasticizers, and pesticides, how toxins may drive immune reactions and allergies, why long COVID symptoms can keep returning, how peptide therapy is being researched, and simple lifestyle steps like movement, box breathing, sweating, and clean water that support the body's detox pathways. Hear why compassion and curiosity may be the most overlooked tools in medicine, and how understanding your exposures can change the questions you bring to your next appointment, here on Fast Metabolism Matters.
In this episode, Haylie Pomroy is joined by Roxy Pirnia, Chief Operating Officer of EverHealth, to talk about moving healthcare toward a preventative model and what it looks like to take more control of your own health. Roxy shares why the shift is happening now, how at-home lab testing and personalized data can point to root causes instead of masking symptoms, and her own experience reversing polycystic ovarian syndrome with the help of a naturopath. Together, they discuss why prevention now means managing stress and toxic exposure as much as avoiding disease, how the body creates balance under pressure, and how AI and virtual platforms could make care more accessible. Hear why "yet" may be the most important word in your health journey, and how the Changing Life and Destiny Conference puts cutting edge health technology in one room, here on Fast Metabolism Matters. If your body feels like it's running on empty, overburdened, or just not responding the way it used to, Haylie's latest book, Toxic Overload, tells you exactly what to do.

In this episode, Haylie Pomroy is joined by Kiva Schuler, founder and CEO of the Jai Institute for Parenting and author of The Peaceful Parenting (R)evolution, to explore how intentional parenting starts with taking care of yourself first. Kiva explains why parents need support just as much as elite athletes do, how modeling healthy habits at home builds trust with children, and the difference between teaching kids responsibility and unintentionally parentifying them. Together, they discuss how family meals and simple daily rituals build real connection in a disconnected, screen-filled world, and how to navigate unhealthy food culture, from birthday parties to school snack lists, without controlling or restricting a child's relationship with food. Discover why peaceful parenting is about who you are more than what you do, and how supporting yourself as a parent may be the most powerful thing you can do for your child's health, here on Fast Metabolism Matters. If your body feels like it's running on empty, overburdened, or just not responding the way it used to, Haylie's latest book, Toxic Overload, tells you exactly what to do.

In this episode, Haylie Pomroy is joined by Margie Bissinger, physical therapist, integrative health coach, and author, to explore what it really takes to build and protect strong bones at every stage of life. Margie explains why peak bone density is built before age 30, how nutrition, gut health, and hormones all play a role in bone loss, and why stress and cortisol are often an overlooked but foundational piece of any bone health plan. Together, they discuss which types of exercise actually move the needle for bone density, why posture and balance training are just as important as strength work, and specific movements to avoid if you already have osteoporosis or osteopenia. Discover why bone health starts decades before osteoporosis is ever diagnosed, and how nutrition, movement, and mindset work together to build bones that support you for life, here on Fast Metabolism Matters. If your body feels like it's running on empty, overburdened, or just not responding the way it used to, Haylie's latest book, Toxic Overload, tells you exactly what to do.
