Overcoming Weight Loss Plateaus: The Role of Hormonal Imbalances and Emotional Eating Solo Episode with Kelley Nemiro
On this episode of the Balancing Chaos podcast, Kelley dives into the topic of weight loss resistance, a common issue that so many women struggle with, especially as we approach summer and theres a desire to feel confident, light and lean in our bodies. Despite what you've heard, eating less and moving more isn't the key to weight loss success. A lot of the time, the more you try to restrict or over-exercise, the worse things can get. And if you aren’t aware hormonal imbalances are happening beneath the surface, you may assume that you need to restrict calories even more or exercise harder.
If you've ever found yourself in this frustrating cycle of dieting and exercising relentlessly, only to see minimal results or even worse, no results at all, you're not alone. Kelley takes this episode to explain the role of hormones in weight loss and weight maintenance and the impact hormones have on metabolic health. She explores some of the common hormonal imbalances that may be sabotaging your weight loss journey and tools you can implement with respect to each imbalance that can serve as sustainable solutions. She also discusses the mental and emotional pitfalls we fall into when trying to lose weight and how to proactively help to prevent emotional and overeating. Tune in for strategies to stop grazing and balance blood sugar, overcoming food rules and restriction and to find out what underlying hormonal imbalance may be preventing you from having the results you want!

Understanding the Mind-Body Connection for Holistic Healing of Chronic Diseases From Hormonal Issues to Cancer and Everything in Between with Dr. Christian Gonzalez
In today's episode of the Balancing Chaos Podcast, Chad and Kelley sit down with Dr. Christian Gonzalez to discuss the importance of the mind body connection in healing chronic disease. Dr. Christian Gonzalez, aka Dr. G, began his career as a naturopathic doctor in 2014, but it wasn’t until his mother passed of cancer that he decided to shift his focus to oncology. Through his work Dr. G has made it his mission for people to understand that the relationships we have with our homes, the environment, and the people in our lives all play a role in the development of chronic disease. As he studied this concept more, Dr. G has become extremely passionate about environmental medicine as well as the mind, body, spirit connection.
Throughout the episode today, Kelley, Chad and Dr. G explore the concept of separating oneself from their ego to find inner peace and balance within the physical body. Dr. G shares insights on the mind-body connection and the importance of creating space within the physical body to alleviate stress and thereby help to prevent the onset of chronic disease from hormonal imbalances to cancer. The conversation details everything from what types of symptoms and conditions arise (from cancer to cortisol imbalances and everything in between) when we're not deeply connected to our physical bodies and when we're repressing emotions, how to begin to feel tension within your body and how to process it rather than store it, how to help our children navigate their emotions rather than getting them caught in a generational trauma cycle, the TRUTH about the impact of alcohol on your physical health and what to prioritize if you want to heal a chronic condition.
Get ready for an insightful episode that will empower you to explore your emotional and mental health in order to heal your physical body.

What's Really Causing the Chronic Ear Infections, ADD, Eczema and Other Health Conditions in our Kids? with Dr. Ana Maria Temple
For years, Kelley has been searching for a holistic pediatrician for her kids, and while she doesn't live in Vegas Kelley and Chad get the pleasure of sitting down with integrative pediatrician Dr. Ana Maria Temple today on the show to learn all about the real cause of chronic health conditions in our children. Dr. Temple started her practice as a typical Western pediatric doctor, but when she began to see chronic conditions popping up with her own kids, she knew she had to make a change and better understand what was going on from a root cause perspective. Through her journey of healing her own children when it came to chronic ear infections, asthma, ADD and eczema and her travels to living in New Zeland and discovering a lifestyle that was predicated on prevention, Dr. Temple completely switched her approach to medicine where her mission is now to help families implement positive changes in their lifestyle so that they can achieve a better quality of life.
Through their conversation, Kelley, Chad and Dr. Temple discuss the impact of the changes in the food industry in America in the last 50 years on the health of America's youth. The addition of these chemicals to our food has led to various health issues in children, including neurological problems, chronic conditions like asthma, eczema, allergies, and so much more. They discuss how to create change in your children's diets for better health (even in the pickiest eaters), the connection between gut health and chronic conditions like eczema and recurrent ear infections and the importance of positive reinforcement and quality time in rewarding behavior for kids. Finally, they unpack the controversial topic of vaccines: from when is the right timing, to which ones skip, and which are important to have as our children go out into society. Tune in to learn about how to holistically support your child and create an environment for their health and wellbeing to thrive.
