    Ep. 201: Hormones in Context: How to Interpret the Dutch Test Without Guessing
    Jan 22 2026

    Hey everyone, Meryl here. Welcome to the Rebel Nutritionist Podcast. Today we are going deep into one of my favorite topics: hormones. If you have ever been told your labs are fine, but you still feel tired, moody, puffy, or just off, this episode is for you. This is part of a new series we're launching.

    It's all about the fact that you don't need another basic blood panel. You need a blueprint. Something that actually explains why you feel the way you do and helps finally connect the dots between your symptoms and your biochemistry.

    So today, we're breaking down the DUTCH hormone test — what it is, what it tells us, and how it can help you finally connect the dots between your symptoms and your biochemistry.

    Ep184: Struggling in the Kitchen? Chef Jeremy Rock Smith Can Help!
    Feb 6 2025

    Ever feel like cooking healthy meals is overwhelming or that you just don't have the time?

    You're not alone! That's exactly why I was so excited to sit down with Chef Jeremy Rock Smith for this week's podcast episode.

    Jeremy spent years in high-pressure restaurant kitchens before experiencing a midlife cooking crisis that completely changed his relationship with food. His journey led him to top wellness resorts like Canyon Ranch, Kripalu, and Miraval, where he began teaching others how to make cooking both simple and nourishing.

    This episode is full of practical tips, humor, and insights that will inspire you to rethink how you cook and eat.

    I'm so grateful to Jeremy for sharing his journey, knowledge, and passion for making food a source of health and joy.
