Girls Gone Wellness
Girls Gone Wellness is the smart, sexy, science-backed wellness podcast flipping the script on everything you thought you knew about health.
If you’re doing all the “right” things like eating 'clean', taking the supplements, following the skincare routine, and still breaking out, burnt out, or just not feeling like yourself, you are not the problem. The problem is that the wellness world wasn’t built for real women, with real bodies, real stress, and real questions that deserve better than vague advice and viral trends.
Hosted by naturopathic medical grads Jeanette Titus and Victoria Gasparini, we’re cutting through the noise with no fear-mongering, and no fluff. Just real talk, real science, and real solutions.
This isn’t another influencer podcast. It’s evidence-based, unfiltered, and actually makes sense.
Welcome to Girls Gone Wellness-where wellness is hot, smart, and finally feels like it’s for you.

Why Trying Harder Isn’t Working: Weight Loss & Hormones with Dr. Erin TeWinkel, ND
What actually happens to weight, metabolism, and hormones after 30 - and why so many women feel blindsided by it?
In this episode, we’re joined by Dr. Erin TeWinkel, ND, to break down weight management in your late 30s, 40s, and beyond, without fear-mongering, blame, or oversimplified advice.
We talk about why weight changes in midlife are not a personal failure, what’s really driving shifts in metabolism and fat distribution, and how muscle loss, sleep, stress, and the mental load women carry all intersect with weight and health outcomes.
This is a deep, evidence-based conversation that cuts through common myths around hormones, cortisol, fasting, supplements, and menopause, and replaces them with realistic, long-term strategies that actually support health and body composition.
In this episode, we cover:
- Why metabolism doesn’t suddenly “break” after 40
- The real role of muscle loss in weight gain and metabolic health
- How estrogen changes affect appetite, fat distribution, and energy
- Why stress matters - but cortisol isn’t the villain it’s made out to be
- The difference between health goals and aesthetic goals (and why both are okay)
- Strength training, protein needs, and what actually works long term
- Why so many women feel dismissed in healthcare - and what better care looks like
If you’ve ever felt confused, frustrated, or gaslit about weight and hormones in midlife, this episode will help you feel informed, validated, and empowered to move forward with clarity.
