118:: A licensed psychologist's guide to trimester zero with Dr. Abigail Powell (opens the original)
Read excerpt
The positive test is not where pregnancy preparation begins. It's where it continues — if you've done the work. In this episode, Dr. Kelsy Vick sits down with licensed psychologist and certified mental health and nutrition clinical specialist Dr. Abigail Powell to explore trimester zero — the season before pregnancy focused on preparing your mind, body, and relationships for everything that comes next. What you'll learn: What trimester zero actually is and why it matters more than most women rea
117:: A registered dietician chats fueling for hormonal balance & preconception (a nutrition chat for girls in Trimester 0!) (opens the original)
Read excerpt
Hormone balance has become a marketing machine, so we brought in a dietitian to tell us what it actually means. In this episode, Dr. Kelsy Vick talks with Bayleigh Wessel, a registered dietitian, about what hormonal health really looks like day to day: predictable cycles, consistent ovulation, manageable PMS, steady energy and hunger cues, restorative sleep, steady digestion, and normal workout recovery. They reframe hormones as responsive messengers shaped by fueling, stress, inflammation, slee
116:: A pelvic floor PT's Trimester 0 guidebook (big sister advice I'd give if you're in your preconception phase!) (opens the original)
Read excerpt
There is a trimester nobody talks about, the one before pregnancy even starts. In this episode I am breaking down what the research actually says about muscle mass, cardio, and overall fitness on fertility, pregnancy, neuromuscular control, and postpartum recovery, plus what your fitness does for your baby and where dad fits into all of it. As a board certified orthopedic Dr. of PT and women's health PT, this is the episode I wish more people had before they started trying to conceive. We get in
115:: A nurse injector explains the science behind botox, fillers, & lasers (+ what really happens to your skin as you age!) (opens the original)
Read excerpt
Your skin starts changing earlier than you think, and most of us were never told what actually happens or what to do about it. In this episode, Dr. Kelsy Vick sits down with Claire Schwegel, a nurse injector in aesthetic dermatology at Vollure Medical, to break down the real science of aging skin: slower cell turnover, slower wound healing, and rising inflammation. Then they build a decade by decade game plan, evidence based prevention in your 20s, collagen banking and judicious neuromodulators
114:: "Creatine for women" & creatine gummies (the real science vs. the pink tax!) (opens the original)
Read excerpt
Creatine has been rebranded for women, and it is suddenly everywhere in pastel gummies and tone and sculpt language. In this commentary episode, Dr. Kelsy Vick separates the real science from the marketing. She covers whether women's bodies actually handle creatine differently than men's, why creatine monohydrate is the same molecule regardless of who it is sold to, and the genuine women's health benefits for muscle, bone, mood, and cognition, especially heading into perimenopause and menopause.
