Episode 52: Kacey Smith on Mobile Phlebotomy and Patient-Centered Care What if getting your labs done didn't mean a waiting room, an empty stomach and a drive home feeling lightheaded? This week we're joined by Kacey Smith, founder of Feather Touch Mobile Phlebotomy, who brings the lab to you: at home, at work, even in a parking lot. Whitney opens up about her lifelong needle phobia (yes, she's fainted mid-draw), and Kacey shares how 22 years as a phlebotomist taught her that compassion makes all the difference, especially for anxious patients, kids, children with autism and the elderly. We cover: • What mobile phlebotomy is and what it can include • Butterfly vs. straight needles, and why less movement means less discomfort • Early-morning appointments for fasting labs (she'll come at 5 a.m.!) • How to price-check your labs and avoid overpaying • How insurance works with an at-home draw • Black coffee before labs: yes or no? • Kacey's cocoa butter story you have to hear to believe Connect with Kacey: Instagram: @feathertouchmobile Website: feathertouchphleb.com Email: [email protected] Text: 833-467-4532 This episode is for educational purposes only and is not medical advice.

Sometimes being high maintenance is exactly how you become low maintenance. In this episode of The Dallas Duo Podcast, Andrea Overturf and Whitney Stuart are sharing the beauty, style, wellness, and lifestyle things we do that take a little more time, effort, or money up front, but make everyday life so much easier. Our only rule for the list? It had to save time, money, or both. We get into the routines, treatments, services, and investments that help us feel more put together with less daily effort, from skincare and brows to spray tans, hair tools, laser hair removal, color analysis, wardrobe rentals, and more. In this episode we discuss: • The “high maintenance to be low maintenance” mindset • Skincare, sunscreen, dermaplaning, and microneedling • Botox, Dysport, and why beauty treatments are so personal • Why a professional makeup edit can completely change your routine • Brows, tinting, threading, microblading, and low-maintenance beauty • Spray tans and self-tanner • Lash extensions and lash serums • Hair tools that save serious time • Laser hair removal • Color analysis and learning what actually flatters you • Finding wardrobe staples that work every time • Renting clothes and handbags for trends, travel, and events • Outsourcing tasks that make home and life run more smoothly This episode is not about doing more for the sake of doing more. It’s about being intentional with the things that save time, simplify decisions, and make everyday routines feel easier. And yes, we already have enough left on the list for a Part Two!

“Clinically inspired” isn’t the same as clinically proven! And in a wellness industry full of buzzwords, blends, quick fixes, and big promises, knowing the difference matters. In this episode of The Dallas Duo Podcast, Andrea Overturf and Whitney Stuart sit down with Kathryn Robinson, founder of The Nova Element and the woman behind Flourish by Nova, to talk about gut health, metabolic health, supplements, body composition, and how women can become smarter consumers of wellness products. This episode is brought to you by Flourish by Nova, and we want to be transparent about that partnership. What caught our attention was not just another supplement claim, but the emphasis on data, formulation, education, and looking beyond the number on the scale. Kathryn breaks down the language women see every day in the supplement aisle and on social media, including the very real difference between something being “doctor formulated,” “clinically inspired,” and a finished formula that has actually been clinically tested. We also get into the fascinating relationship between gut health and metabolic health and why digestion, blood sugar, energy, cravings, body composition, and the microbiome are more connected than many women realize. In this episode we discuss: • Clinically inspired vs. clinically tested • Supplement marketing red flags • Why more ingredients are not necessarily better • The gut and metabolic health connection • Blood sugar regulation and naturally occurring GLP-1 • Digestion, bloating, food noise, cravings, and energy • Supporting body recomposition while maintaining muscle • Why sustainable health is about more than weight loss • The problem with quick fixes • Why women deserve better education around supplements and wellness • The story and science behind Flourish by Nova Kathryn’s message is one we come back to often on The Dallas Duo: wellness should help women build stronger foundations, not make them afraid of food, obsessed with a number on the scale, or dependent on the next quick fix. Because when it comes to women’s health, good marketing and good evidence are not the same thing! 📲 Connect with Kathryn Robinson and Nova Website: NOVA and Flourish by Nova Instagram:  @thenovaelement @flourishbynova 📲 Connect with The Dallas Duo: Andrea Overturf: @andreaaoverturf Sign up for Andrea's Newsletter HERE Whitney Stuart, RDN: @whitnessnutrition Download Whitney's FREE Protein and Fiber Goal Guide HERE 🌐 Learn more at: The Dallas Duo Podcast  🎧 Subscribe for more conversations on business, wellness, style, and real life at any age!

If you’ve ever thought, “I just don’t feel like myself,” this episode is for you. In this episode of The Dallas Duo Podcast, Andrea Overturf and Whitney Stuart sit down with Dr. Kamilia Smith, founder and director of Charleston House Gynecology, board-certified OB-GYN, certified menopause practitioner, clinical assistant professor, Texas physician, wife, and mom of three. The HRT and perimenopause conversation is everywhere right now, but Dr. Smith reminds us that women’s healthcare cannot be reduced to one prescription, one lab, one symptom, or one social media sound bite. This conversation is all about nuance. We talk about mood changes, SSRIs, progesterone, estrogen, testosterone, HRT, hormone delivery options, self-advocacy, and why comprehensive care matters so much for women in their late 30s, 40s, and beyond. In this episode we discuss: • Why perimenopause is having a major moment • Why so many women feel confused about hormones, mood, and HRT • What SSRIs are and why they may be prescribed during this stage of life • The connection between mood changes, PMS, postpartum history, and perimenopause • Why progesterone may help some women feel calmer, but is not always a simple deficiency fix • Why hormone therapy is not one-size-fits-all • Estrogen patches, sprays, gels, oral estrogen, and other delivery options • Why social media advice can make the conversation more confusing • Why “not feeling like yourself” is enough to bring to your provider • Why education helps women trust their own voice and advocate for better care Dr. Smith brings honesty, expertise, warmth, and a much-needed reality check to the modern perimenopause conversation. This episode is for anyone navigating hormone changes, considering HRT, wondering about SSRIs or progesterone, feeling dismissed, or simply trying to better understand what is happening in her body. 📲 Connect with Dr Kamilia Smith & Charleston House Website: Charleston House Instagram: @drkamiliasmith 📲 Connect with The Dallas Duo: Andrea Overturf: @andreaaoverturf Sign up for Andrea's Newsletter HERE Whitney Stuart, RDN: @whitnessnutrition Download Whitney's FREE Protein and Fiber Goal Guide HERE 🌐 Learn more at: The Dallas Duo Podcast  🎧 Subscribe for more conversations on business, wellness, style, and real life at any age!

Women should not have to choose between looking polished and being prepared! In this episode of The Dallas Duo Podcast, Andrea Overturf and Whitney Stuart sit down with Kimberly Borges and Miriam McDonald, the co-founders of PWR WMN, a Dallas-based women’s workwear brand creating bold, functional blazers designed for real women. Kimberly and Miriam started PWR WMN after working together in car sales and realizing how unequipped women’s professional clothing made them feel compared to their male coworkers. No functional pockets. No place for business cards, pens, lipstick, tampons, phones, or the things women actually carry. So they decided to build the (machine washable!) blazer they needed themselves. What started as a frustration became a movement! In this episode we discuss: • How Kimberly and Miriam went from college friends to co-founders • The problem with traditional women’s workwear • Why pockets are not a small detail • Building a fashion brand with no design background • Creating blazers based on real women’s bodies and real-life needs • Size inclusivity and why fit matters • What it means to build a women-owned, immigrant-founded brand • The reality of bootstrapped entrepreneurship • Their major Session Foundation grant win • Why mentorship, community, and women supporting women matter • What is next for PWR WMN Kimberly and Miriam’s story is funny, honest, inspiring, and deeply relatable for anyone who has ever thought, “Why does this not exist yet?” This conversation is about more than blazers. It is about functional fashion, female entrepreneurship, confidence, community, and creating something because women deserve better! 📲 Connect with PWR WMN Website: Shop PWR WMN Instagram: @pwr_wmn 📲 Connect with The Dallas Duo: Andrea Overturf: @andreaaoverturf Sign up for Andrea's Newsletter HERE Whitney Stuart, RDN: @whitnessnutrition Download Whitney's FREE Protein and Fiber Goal Guide HERE 🌐 Learn more at: The Dallas Duo Podcast  🎧 Subscribe for more conversations on business, wellness, style, and real life at any age!

You do not have to wait until everything falls apart to go to therapy! In this episode of The Dallas Duo Podcast, Andrea Overturf and Whitney Stuart RDN sit down with Alix Williams, LMFT, founder of ARW Counseling, to talk about anxiety, attachment styles, perfectionism, EMDR, motherhood, and the identity shifts that come with major life transitions. Alix works with high-achieving women who often look like they are holding it all together on the outside while feeling anxious, disconnected, overwhelmed, or not like themselves on the inside. This conversation is a reminder that needing support does not mean you are failing. It means you're human. In this episode we discuss: • Why high-achieving women often struggle in silence • The pressure to maintain a perfect exterior • What EMDR is and how it supports trauma and anxiety processing • Attachment styles and how they show up in relationships • Why major life transitions can expose old coping patterns • The identity shift of motherhood and the meaning of matrescence • Why therapy can help before you're in crisis • How perfectionism can become both a strength and a trap • Nervous system tools for emotional regulation • Why your best friend, partner, or family can support you, but they are not the same as the professional help of a licensed therapist Alix shares why therapy can be a place where women do not have to perform, be fine, or have all the answers. If you are in a season of change, motherhood, anxiety, relationship stress, perfectionism, or simply feeling disconnected from yourself, this conversation will help you feel less alone and more supported. 📲 Connect with Alix Williams, LMFT at ARW Counseling Website: ARW Counseling Instagram: @arwcounseling 📲 Connect with The Dallas Duo: Andrea Overturf: @andreaaoverturf Sign up for Andrea's Newsletter HERE Whitney Stuart, RDN: @whitnessnutrition Download Whitney's FREE Protein and Fiber Goal Guide HERE 🌐 Learn more at: The Dallas Duo Podcast  🎧 Subscribe for more conversations on business, wellness, style, and real life at any age!

You can be successful, capable, productive, and completely burned out at the same time. In this episode of The Dallas Duo Podcast, we sit down with Annie Tam, licensed professional counselor, founder of MEND Counseling, and co-founder of The A&K Collective, to talk about high functioning burnout and why so many women are quietly running on empty while appearing perfectly fine on the outside.  Annie specializes in working with high achieving women, working moms, perfectionists, and people pleasers who are carrying more than anyone realizes. This conversation explores the hidden stress patterns that keep women stuck in cycles of overwhelm, overcommitment, and chronic exhaustion. In this episode we discuss: • What high functioning burnout actually is • Why successful women often miss the signs of burnout • The connection between perfectionism, people pleasing, and chronic stress • Why your body may be sending signals you're ignoring • Emotional dysregulation and how stress shows up physically • The true cost of constantly saying yes • Practical boundary-setting strategies that actually work • How social media fuels comparison and overwhelm • The role of the Enneagram in self-awareness and personal growth • Why vulnerability is often the first step toward healing • Sustainable self-care habits that don't require adding more to your to-do list Annie shares practical tools for recognizing burnout before it becomes a crisis and explains why healing isn't about doing less.

The scale is not telling you the whole story! In this episode of The Dallas Duo Podcast, Whitney Stuart, MS, RDN, CDCES and Andrea Overturf break down why DEXA scans are one of their favorite tools for understanding body composition, tracking progress, and making informed decisions about long-term health.  If you've ever felt frustrated by the number on the scale, confused about body fat percentage, or wondered whether your workouts are actually working, this conversation is for you. Whitney explains why body composition matters more than weight alone, how DEXA scans compare to InBody scans and BMI, and why muscle mass, visceral fat, and metabolic health deserve more attention than the scale. In this episode we discuss: • Why the scale is often misleading • DEXA scans vs InBody scans, BMI, and body measurements • The importance of muscle mass for healthy aging • What visceral fat is and why it matters for long-term health • Body recomposition vs weight loss • Why maintaining muscle during perimenopause is a major win • How DEXA scans can help guide nutrition and fitness goals • Resting metabolic rate (RMR) and what it means for calorie needs • The health metrics Whitney recommends tracking instead of weight This episode challenges the idea that weight is the best measure of progress and offers a more empowering, evidence-based approach to understanding your body. Because the goal is not simply to weigh less. The goal is to build a stronger, healthier body that will serve you for decades to come! 📲 Connect with The Dallas Duo: Andrea Overturf: @andreaaoverturf Sign up for Andrea's Newsletter HERE Whitney Stuart, RDN: @whitnessnutrition Download Whitney's FREE Protein and Fiber Goal Guide HERE 🌐 Learn more at: The Dallas Duo Podcast  🎧 Subscribe for more conversations on business, wellness, style, and real life at any age!
