The Body Nerd Show - 237 I’m back! Grief and other things.

237 I’m back! Grief and other things.

03/13/25 • 23 min

The Body Nerd Show

The Body Nerd Show is officially back!

And today’s episode is a little different.

Instead of talking about how to move better, we’re talking about grief.

Because grief isn’t just losing someone you love - it’s forced change of any kind. The loss of a job, a friendship, a relationship, or even just life not turning out the way you expected.

And for the last year, I’ve been deep in it.

Losing my dad in August completely changed my life.

So in today’s episode, I’m sharing where I’ve been, what’s next for the show, and how we can navigate grief (of all kinds) together.

Thanks for being here. It means more than you know. 💖

You’ll learn:

  • Where I’ve been for the last 10 months
  • Where we’re going with the podcast
  • And what’s next for the Body Nerd Show

236 Reversing Histamine Intolerance with Dr. Meg Mill

As someone who is currently diving deep into all things gut health-related, I am really excited to invite Dr. Meg Mill on today’s episode.

Dr. Meg is a Functional Medicine Practitioner, author and speaker and you might remember her from episode 195 on Hormones and Headaches.

So when she reached out about today’s topic, I was instantly interested.

Especially because symptoms of mast cell activation can impact the skin with hives, rashes, or itching, the GI tract with diarrhea, bloating, nausea, and general body symptoms like fatigue, brain fog, coughing, and inflammation.

Basically, it’s a lot.

So if you’re someone who seems to struggle with a variety of symptoms that don’t fall under one umbrella, I know you’ll find our conversation super insightful.

Enjoy my conversation with Dr. Meg Mill!

You’ll learn:

  • Symptoms of histamine intolerance and mast cell activation
  • All about histamines and how they can impact the body (beyond hay fever)
  • The role estrogen and progesterone play in histamine levels (and can contribute to migraines and mood swings)
  • Gut health strategies to manage histamine intolerance to reduce symptoms

238 Wellness on the Road with Hope Zvara

Sitting too much is wrecking your body, but what if you could sneak in movement while stuck in the car?

Whether you're commuting to work, driving the kids around, or just sitting at your desk, too much sitting can lead to stiff joints, back pain, and tight hips. But you don’t need a full workout to feel better.

Movement snacks (small, intentional movements throughout the day) can be more beneficial than a full length workout - especially if keeping it simple means you actually do it!

In this episode of The Body Nerd Show, I sit down with Hope Zvara, founder of Mother Trucker Yoga®, to talk about simple ways to bring mobility into your long drives and improve your flexibility in just a few minutes a day.

Hope’s super practical tips will help you feel your best... even on your busiest days. 🙌

You’ll learn:

  • How movement snacks can be more beneficial than exercise
  • How to bring mobility into your long drives
  • How to improve your health and flexibility in just a few minutes every day
