If you feel like your body has changed in midlife—and no matter what you do, it’s just not responding—you are not crazy… and you are not alone. In this episode of Thrive with Carrie, I sit down with lymphatic specialist and occupational therapist Kaitlin Barry to uncover a commonly missed root issue for many women: lipedema and lymphatic dysfunction. We talk about: • The difference between lipedema and lymphedema (and why it matters) • Why symptoms often show up during perimenopause and menop...
If your life feels like pure chaos right now… this episode is for you. Between baseball games, end-of-year events, summer planning and packed schedules, it’s easy to feel like your health takes a backseat.

In this episode of Thrive with Carrie, I’m joined by my friend Meredith Minor — photographer, wellness advocate, and mom — for a powerful conversation about fertility, MTHFR, and the importance of advocating for your health. After years of being told her infertility was “unexplained,” Meredith chose to keep asking questions. In this conversation, she shares her experience with PCOS, miscarriage, fertility treatments, discovering compound heterozygous MTHFR mutations, and the nutrition and lif...
Have you ever felt like you’re doing everything right… but still don’t feel like yourself? Low energy. Brain fog. Mood swings. Hormone imbalances. Stubborn weight that won’t budge. And then you’re told… “your labs look normal.” In this episode, I’m diving into a topic that completely changed how I understand my own body—the MTHFR gene and methylation—and why it may be a missing piece for so many women, especially in midlife. I’m also sharing part of my personal story—how I discovered I had a ...
Berberine has been getting a lot of attention lately—some people even calling it “nature’s Ozempic.” But what actually is it, and how does it work in the body? In this episode of the Thrive with Carrie Podcast, I break down the science behind this powerful plant compound and why it’s becoming a conversation in the world of metabolic and gut health. We talk about how berberine may help support: • healthy blood sugar balance • insulin sensitivity • metabolism and energy • gut microbiome balance...
In this solo episode, Carrie breaks down why cravings, “food noise,” and never quite feeling full are not a willpower problem ~ they’re often a regulation problem rooted in the gut–brain connection. You’ll learn: What the gut–brain axis is and why fullness cues can get mutedWhy blood sugar swings, inflammation, stress, and constant grazing make cravings louderHow simple habits like protein-first meals, fiber, meal spacing, hydration, and sleep help your body hear its natural fulln...
What if much of what we’ve been told to expect in midlife… isn’t inevitable? In this conversation, Carrie sits down with registered nurse Denise Wills to talk about menopause, hormones, and why so many women are navigating this stage without the information they deserve. Denise shares her journey through premature menopause, autoimmune challenges, digestive issues, and osteoporosis — and how learning about hormones, gut health, and strength training reshaped how she approaches aging. Together...
As the days get shorter, many women notice shifts in mood, energy, sleep, and motivation — and it’s not “all in your head.” In this episode, we’re diving into Seasonal Affective Disorder (SAD) and why winter can feel especially hard, particularly during midlife. You’ll learn how reduced daylight impacts your circadian rhythm, serotonin, and hormones — and why women in perimenopause and menopause may feel these changes more deeply. We’ll talk about practical, science-backed ways to minimize th...
