Body Freedom with Michele Scarlet

Success can look beautiful on the outside while quietly destroying your body on the inside.
In this deeply honest and transformational conversation, Michelle sits down with entrepreneur, speaker, and soul-led business mentor Kami Guildner to explore what really happens when ambitious women disconnect from themselves in the pursuit of success. From chronic stress, burnout, nervous system overload, inflammation, and autoimmune struggles to rebuilding health, alignment, and inner peace, this episode dives into the hidden emotional and physical cost many high-achieving women silently carry.
Kami shares her personal journey from corporate leadership and constant overworking to experiencing burnout, exhaustion, frequent illness, Hashimoto’s, inflammation, and complete nervous system depletion. After years of pushing harder and ignoring her body’s signals, she began reconnecting with herself through functional nutrition, nervous system healing, spirituality, nature, mindfulness, and soul-driven entrepreneurship.
Michelle and Kami unpack the deeper connection between women’s health, emotional wellness, business success, energy, intuition, authenticity, and sustainable leadership. They discuss why many women entrepreneurs feel disconnected from their bodies, how stress and inflammation impact creativity and visibility, and why healing your gut, hormones, nervous system, and emotional state can completely change the way you show up in life and business.
This episode also explores:
burnout recovery for women
Hashimoto’s and thyroid health
inflammation and gut health
nervous system regulation
emotional healing and self-awareness
soul alignment and feminine leadership
authentic visibility for women entrepreneurs
slowing down without losing ambition
creating energy prosperity, time prosperity, and sustainable success
If you are a high-achieving woman feeling exhausted, disconnected, inflamed, overwhelmed, or emotionally drained, this conversation will remind you that success should never cost you your health, your peace, or yourself.

Many women are told their labs are “normal” while they continue struggling with exhaustion, hormonal weight gain, thyroid symptoms, inflammation, gut issues, brain fog, and unexplained weight loss resistance. In this powerful women’s health podcast episode, functional diagnostic nutrition practitioner Jen Malecha joins Michelle Scarlet to uncover the deeper root causes behind why so many women over 40 still feel sick even after eating healthy, exercising, and doing “everything right.”
Jen shares her personal journey from fitness trainer and health-conscious professional to battling skin cancer, mold toxicity, Hashimoto’s, estrogen dominance, hypothyroidism, chronic fatigue, and unexplained weight gain. Despite following traditional “healthy” advice like calorie counting, overtraining, eating low-fat meals, and drinking coffee just to stay awake, her health continued to decline until functional medicine testing revealed the hidden stressors impacting her body.
Together, Michelle and Jen break down the critical connection between thyroid health, gut health, liver detoxification, hormones, toxic load, metabolism dysfunction, and women’s fat loss after 40. They explain why many women with thyroid issues or hormone imbalance women symptoms are often dismissed by doctors, why “normal” labs don’t always mean optimal health, and how toxins, mold exposure, poor sleep, inflammation, and nervous system stress can silently damage metabolic health women rely on for energy, hormone balance, and sustainable fat loss.
Inside this episode, they discuss:
thyroid and weight gain female struggles
Hashimoto’s and hypothyroidism female symptoms
estrogen dominance symptoms female
perimenopause weight gain and hormonal weight gain
slow metabolism female causes

What if the reason you're exhausted, inflamed, bloated, struggling with your metabolism, and unable to feel like yourself again has nothing to do with a lack of discipline, and everything to do with chronic stress, under-eating, overtraining, and a body that no longer feels safe?
In this powerful episode of My True Health Podcast, Michelle Scarlett sits down with functional nutritionist, metabolism expert, and wellness entrepreneur Shannon Salgi to uncover the hidden factors that impact women’s metabolism, hormones, gut health, energy, and long-term wellness.
After years of intense dieting, bodybuilding competitions, chronic stress, overtraining, autoimmune disease, missing periods, digestive dysfunction, and severe inflammation, Shannon found herself walking with a cane and relying on medication just to function. What followed was a life-changing journey into functional medicine, nervous system regulation, gut healing, hormone balance, and metabolic restoration.
Together, Michelle and Shannon break down:
Why calories-in, calories-out stops working for many women
The hidden connection between chronic stress, metabolism, and hormone imbalance
How under-eating and overtraining can contribute to metabolic adaptation
Why gut health plays a critical role in energy, inflammation, and weight regulation
The truth about reverse dieting and restoring metabolic function
Thyroid health, adrenal health, and hormone balance in women
Nervous system regulation and its impact on healing and recovery
Functional lab testing and what it can reveal about your health
Why many women normalize symptoms that are not actually normal
How to create sustainable health without restrictive diets, obsession, or burnout
This episode is especially valuable for women experiencing fatigue, bloating, digestive issues, hormone imbalance, weight loss resistance, chronic stress, low energy, inflammation, autoimmune symptoms, or a body that no longer responds the way it used to.
If you’ve been told your symptoms are “normal,” that your labs look “fine,” or that you simply need more willpower, this conversation will challenge everything you thought you knew about women’s health, metabolism, and lasting transformation.
Because true health isn’t about pushing harder, it’s about giving your body what it needs to finally heal.
