Description
Feel Better. Live Free. with Ruth Soukup is the revolutionary health & wellness podcast brought to you by Thinlicious®. It's a show dedicated to helping midlife women find lasting health & sustainable weight loss by healing our bodies from the inside out, while questioning the outdated mainstream narratives surrounding health and weight loss that haven't worked.
Our mission is to help you the freedom to look and feel your best. The freedom to NOT be controlled by food addictions ever again. And the freedom to confidently pursue all your big goals and dreams because your health and weight issues are no longer holding you back.
Each week we’ll discuss what it means to live your best life as a woman in your 40’s, 50’s, and beyond, talking openly and honestly about the highs and lows of weight loss, wellness, cultivating a healthy mindset, and pretty much everything in between.
We'll also speak with leading health experts on everything from thyroid and cortisol health to hormonal balance and menopause to healing your gut.
It’s a place where you'll discover actionable strategies for losing weight and getting healthy, unconventional health breakthroughs that no one else is talking about, and the powerful mindset shifts you’ll need to find lifelong wellness and true happiness (with a whole lot of tough love along the way.)
Basically, this is the podcast to listen to if you're looking for answers to these type of questions:
-Why is it so hard for women over 40 to lose weight?
-How can I improve my mindset and get healthy for life?
-What supplements should I be taking?

-What is gut health, and why does it matter?
-Could I have a thyroid issue?
-What can you eat to reduce inflammation?
-What are the biggest health mistakes to avoid?

Let’s be real—how many times have you been told it’s all in your hormones, your gut, or your lab work? So you take the supplements, cut the gluten, run the tests… and still feel like garbage. But what if the real issue isn’t in your blood work… but in your brain? If you’ve been stuck in chronic fatigue, autoimmune flare-ups, or mystery symptoms no one can fix, this episode might just change everything. Today we’re chatting with the incredible Mel Hopper Koppelman, Program Director at Synthes...
Have you ever wondered why, no matter how perfectly you follow the plan—how clean you eat, how many calories you cut, how much you swear to yourself “this time it will be different,” and no matter how hard you try—you still end up falling off track? Why does it always feel like two steps forward, three steps back? What if I told you it's not because you're doing it wrong—or that you're not trying hard enough—but because almost every weight loss plan is missing something HUGE? Something ...
Okay, let’s be honest—when was the last time you actually thought about your liver? Probably… never. But here’s the thing: if your hormones are out of whack, if you’re struggling with perimenopause symptoms, or if weight loss feels impossible, your liver might be the missing piece. And if you’re on bio-identical hormones? It’s even more important. And in this episode, we’re breaking down exactly why. ---------- You can find Elizabeth at strongchoices.com or on Instagram at @strongchoices1 An...
Okay, let's get real for a minute. When was the last time you caught your reflection and thought, "Damn, I look good!"? If it's been a while, we need to talk. Because feeling hot—yes, HOT—isn't about hitting some magic number on the scale or looking like those filtered Instagram models who don't even look like themselves. It's about how you show up in the world. It's about the energy you bring into a room. It's about the way you carry yourself when nobody's watching. And today? I'm breaking d...
Hormones. We’ve all got ‘em, and some days we probably feel them more than others. But how do you know whether those hormonal swings are normal, or something you should actually be concerned about? And how do you make sure your hormones are actually HEALTHY? That’s exactly what we’re talking about today. So let’s dive in. ---------- Get your Ladywell supplements HERE and save 20% with code: Ruth20 You can find Ashley and Ladywell on Instagram, Tiktok, Facebook or on YouTube. ---------- ...
There’s nothing more inspiring than hearing real people overcome real challenges to get the results they want—especially when those are the same results you’d like to see in your own life! That’s why in this bonus episode we’re going deep with another incredible success story. And in this special bonus episode we’re taking a deep dive into what transforming your life through adopting the Thinlicious lifestyle actually looks like, by sitting down to chat with another one of our amazing clients...
Have you ever found yourself standing in the kitchen at 10pm, still in your work clothes, mindlessly eating spoonfuls of ice cream straight from the container? Or maybe you've hidden candy wrappers at the bottom of the trash so nobody would know what you ate? Or sworn off sugar on Monday only to find yourself in the drive-thru by Wednesday, ordering a milkshake because "it's been a hard day"? That was me for YEARS. And if you're nodding right now, if you've ever felt powerless around su...
If you’ve listened to this podcast for any amount of time, you’ve probably heard me talk about gut health at least once or twice, and maybe much more than that. And there’s a good reason for that. It’s basically impossible to talk about health and weight loss WITHOUT eventually talking about the gut, because it is SO central to our overall health and how we feel. But when it comes to HEALING our gut, there are no simple answers. It’s not just one thing. In fact, as today’s guest is going to e...
What if losing weight didn’t have to be a fight you keep losing? What if the real trick isn’t willpower, but a few hard-earned lessons that actually stick? Friends, today is my birthday, and that always puts me in a reflective sort of mood. So I’m taking a look back at my health journey over the past four years, and some of the biggest lessons I’ve learned along the way. Because let me tell you, there’s definitely some stuff I wish I’d figured out sooner. And no matter where you’re at in your...
Have you ever felt like you just don’t have TIME to focus on your health right now? In fact, maybe right at this very minute, you’re listening to this podcast while you multitask a hundred other things, hoping that somehow better health will magically come through osmosis. You keep meaning to slow down. You keep hoping to someday have a little more breathing room. And so you keep telling yourself it’s not that bad. Today’s podcast guest did the same thing. For years. And then a major health...
It’s only natural to worry, right? *see end of show notes for links to all source links for supporting data for this episode. And I suppose I can only speak for myself here, but there’s rarely a day that goes by that I’m not worried about SOMETHING, whether it’s my kids or something in my business or the dog not eating her dinner. And a big thing I see my clients worrying about, especially when they’re new to my program, is the fact that for the first time in their lives, they’re being encou...
Raise your hand if you HATE exercise. If your hand is up, you are definitely NOT alone, and until just a few years ago, I was right there with you. I thought exercise had to be miserable. It was my punishment for all the ways I was failing to create the body I wished I could have. And maybe you feel that way too. If so, today’s episode might just change everything. ---------- Nicole Meline is a four-time Ironman triathlete based in Boulder, Colorado, and student of life’s ultimate questions,...
If you've ever struggled to lose weight as a woman over 40, then you probably already suspect that your hormones are largely to blame. And if you've been listening to this podcast for any length of time, then you've probably already picked up on the fact that I'm a little bit OBSESSED with hormones and the role they play in our overall health and well-being. Because while I'm not a doctor, I am a woman who struggled with my weight for almost 10 years before I finally figured out that the real...
Have you ever felt trapped? Maybe it’s a job you hate, or a relationship you just can’t walk away from. Maybe it’s a business you’re no longer passionate about. Maybe it’s a pattern of unhealthy habits you can’t seem to break. But whatever it is, it feels impossible to change. You don’t see a way out. It’s not a good feeling. In fact, it can be terrifying. But what if I told you that you might already have the solution, you’re just too afraid to see it right now. And today’s episode mi...
Have you ever thought about going full-on carnivore? It's a lifestyle that has picked up more and more steam over the past few years, especially among health enthusiasts who often start out by just cutting out sugar and refined carbohydrates, but at some point decide to go all in on MEAT. On the one hand, it makes life pretty simple, when you're eating nothing but meat and butter. But is it really sustainable? And more importantly, is it actually good for you, especially long term? That's exa...
Let’s be honest—it’s not that easy to talk about poop. And yet, pooping is a pretty big deal. It’s one of the biggest indicators of metabolic health, and NOT pooping well is a huge red flag for any number of gut and health issues. So today, we’re going to talk about it, with none other than the Poop Queen herself, Liz Roman. ---------- Get Liz's FREE Constipation Cure Guide: https://fitmomlife.com/liz Find her at her website: https://fitmomlife.com/ On Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/the...
I know I talk a lot about the science of weight loss on this podcast. A LOT. And the reason I do that is because honestly, I think it's the most important piece of the puzzle—understanding how your body works, and why you've struggled to lose weight in the past. But that doesn't mean that there's not a lot of other factors that can play into your ability to actually LOSE weight and keep it off. And today, I want to talk about one of those other factors—the one thing that I've seen time and ti...
Do you ever wonder if there’s a secret to success with health and weight loss that you somehow just haven’t been able to tap into quite yet? Maybe you’ve done all the things, counted all the calories, dragged yourself to the gym, tried all the diets. And yet, something just isn’t clicking. Yes, maybe it’s your hormones, and if you’re a woman over 40 that probably does play a role. But what if there’s something more? A power inside of you that you just haven’t activated because you didn’t ...
It's Inauguration Day—the dawn of a new era in the United States. For better or for worse, the next four years in this country are going to look very different than the last four years. And while the goal of today's podcast isn't to get all political on you, I did want to spend a little time talking about one particular aspect of the incoming administration that I'm pretty excited to see in action—the MAHA movement, also known as the Make America Healthy Again movement. Because whether you ...
In this special bonus episode we’re taking a deep dive into what transforming your life through adopting the Thinlicious lifestyle actually looks like, by sitting down to chat with another one of our amazing clients, Anna Alvarez. Anna joined our program almost 3 years ago after spotting one of our Facebook ads. At that point, she had been trying and failing to lose weight for more than 30 years, and had pretty much given up hope. But something about our program resonated with her, so she de...
