Is Your Metabolism Working?
If you’ve been doing everything “right” on keto but still feel stuck, today’s episode is for you. I’m joined by Chris Irvin to dive into metabolic health, insulin sensitivity, and what real healing looks like on a low-carb diet. We’ll talk about signs of carb intolerance, the role of movement, how veggie oils throw your whole system off, and how to safely reintroduce carbs once your metabolism is healed. No fluff—just the real science behind your fat-burning potential.

Collagen Scams, Science, and What Actually Works
BioCell Collagen was the best. And now? It’s gone—at least for a few months. In this episode, I unpack the collagen industry: what’s legit, what’s a gimmick, and why most collagen powders don’t live up to the hype. We’ll talk about the science behind collagen production, why BioCell worked so well, and how I’m helping clients maintain hair, skin, and joint health with bioactive peptides while we wait. This episode is packed with deep research, client insight, and a powerful new approach to regeneration.

Healing Doesn’t Always Feel Good (But It’s Working)
Healing doesn’t always feel good—and that might be a good thing. In this episode of the Healthful Pursuit Podcast, Leanne Vogel unpacks why real healing often comes with discomfort, self-doubt, and unexpected symptoms. From detox reactions to hormone rebalancing to emotional release, we explore why “getting worse before better” is sometimes part of the process. You’ll learn how to tell the difference between a healing crisis and something harmful, how to support your body through transitions, and how to trust your healing even when it feels messy. If you’ve ever felt discouraged on your health journey—this one’s for you.
