Summary
Ariana Medizade is a wellness expert focused on metabolic health, body composition, and sustainable strategies for looking and feeling your best. She joins the show to break down the actual order of operations for a summer glow-up—what matters, what doesn’t, and where to start if you want real results.
This episode cuts through the noise. Instead of stacking a million habits, Ariana explains how to prioritize the fundamentals—sleep, nutrition, muscle, and blood sugar—so everything else (energy, skin, cravings, even “cortisol face”) falls into place. We get into the biggest mistakes women make when trying to lean out, what’s driving modern fatigue and weight gain, and the supplements and habits that are actually worth it.
If you want to feel tighter, more energized, and genuinely glowy by summer—without overcomplicating it—this is your blueprint.
We cover:
• The order of operations for a real glow-up
• The #1 sleep mistake keeping you exhausted (and how to fix it)
• How modern life is disrupting hormones, metabolism, and energy
• Body composition vs. weight loss (and why muscle changes everything)
• How to get lean, toned, and defined—without overtraining
• Why building muscle stabilizes blood sugar (and reduces cravings)
• Creatine for women: benefits for body, brain, and longevity
• Supplements for carb cravings + blood sugar regulation
• How to naturally support GLP-1 and appetite control
• Cortisol myths vs. reality (and what “cortisol face” actually is)
• How to reduce water retention and look less inflamed
• Best electrolytes, collagen, and what’s actually worth buying
• Peptides, black seed oil, and trending wellness tools
• The biggest wellness scams to avoid

| 0:05.8 | This is Well, a podcast about wellness in all its forms. |
| 0:10.0 | I'm Ariel Laurie, and each week I'm sharing unfiltered conversations with people shaping how we feel, live, and look. |
| 0:17.2 | Come for the substance, stay for the honesty, and leave with the tools to be well, inside and out. |
| 0:25.6 | I've been talking a lot about glowing up for summer and the things that I am doing this spring to kind of lock in. |
| 0:33.3 | And I don't mean crash diets and crazy unsustainable fitness routines. I just feel like spring is kind of a time for |
| 0:40.8 | rebirth. And it's when I usually tend to lean into all of the habits that I know are going to make me |
| 0:47.7 | look and feel my best. And of course, we all want to look and feel our best for summer, |
| 0:53.3 | which is why I wanted to have today's |
| 0:55.8 | guest on. She was one of your favorites from last year. I'm talking to Ariana Medazade. She is also known |
| 1:01.7 | as Wellness Farm on Instagram and TikTok. And she joins me today for a conversation that |
| 1:08.3 | it's kind of like your full reset before summer, the kind of reset |
| 1:11.9 | that actually works. So if you have been overwhelmed by where to start with a glowup, |
| 1:17.8 | she is going to break it down into a clear, realistic order of operations so that you're not |
| 1:22.6 | wasting your time or your money on things that don't move the needle. We get into everything |
| 1:26.1 | from skin and treatments to |
| 1:28.1 | fitness, nutrition. We talk about peptides, those small daily habits that quietly make the biggest |
| 1:34.4 | difference. And why I wanted to have her on is because she has a background in pharmacy and |
| 1:40.2 | neuroscience, but she knows the functional and holistic world so, so well. And she has the |
| 1:46.8 | absolute best hacks. She shares them on her social media as well for everything from helping |
| 1:53.7 | your body composition, elevating your mood, improving your sleep, lowering your anxiety, |
