🎙️ Invisible Stuff Making You Feel Like Trash Artwork

The Strong, Sweaty & Slightly Inappropriate Podcast

Welcome to The Strong, Sweaty & Slightly Inappropriate Podcast — the show where sweat, sarcasm, and science collide.

I’m Lindsey Petrangelo, APRN, CPT, and founder of InspireWellnessCo — a nurse practitioner with a passion for movement, gut health, hormones, and calling out the wellness industry’s bullshit (with humor, obviously).

This podcast is for those who are sick of quick fixes, sick of confusion, and ready to finally understand their bodies. You’ll get the real talk about health, fitness, gut stuff, hormones, mindset, and all the “taboo” topics no one else wants to say out loud — delivered with equal parts evidence and inappropriateness.

Whether we’re talking about poop, protein, or perimenopause, nothing’s off-limits here.

Expect stories, sarcasm, and strategies you can actually use to feel strong, confident, and human again — because being healthy doesn’t have to be boring, complicated, or perfect.

Grab your coffee, crank the volume, and let’s make getting healthy fun again.

🎙️ Episode: Invisible Stuff Making You Feel Like Trash

Gut wreckers, hormone disruptors & why “normal” labs don’t mean you’re fine

If you’re tired, bloated, anxious, snacky, inflamed, and questioning your sanity — but your labs keep coming back “normal” — this episode is for you.

In this science-backed, slightly inappropriate episode of The Strong, Sweaty & Slightly Inappropriate Podcast, Lindsey breaks down the invisible factors wrecking your gut, hormones, and nervous system — especially during the holidays.

This episode pulls back the curtain on why “healthy” foods can backfire, how chronic stress shows up in your body, and why conventional labs don’t tell the whole story. If you’ve ever been told “everything looks fine” while feeling like garbage, you’re about to feel VERY validated.

👉 Listen if:

You’re bloated, anxious, exhausted, or inflamed

You want real answers — not band-aid fixes
You’re ready to stop gaslighting yourself
