Summary

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women find lasting health & sustainable weight loss by healing our bodies from the inside out, while questioning the outdated mainstream narratives surrounding health and weight loss that haven't worked.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:

  • The Announcement We've Been Waiting to Make (And Why It's Bigger Than You Think)
    May 5 2026

    If you've been wondering where we've been — this episode is your answer. And trust us, it was worth the wait.

    Today, Ruth Soukup is joined by someone you may already know and love from inside the Thinlicious community: Lisa Joy Thompson. She's been here since day one — literally the very first coach in the TAS program — and today we're making it official. Lisa is now the majority owner of Thinlicious, and this podcast has a new home with her at the helm.

    But before we get to the big news, we're taking you back to the beginning. Because the story of how this happened isn't just a business announcement. It's a God thing. And you need to hear it from the start.

    In this episode, Ruth and Lisa share:

    • How Ruth's decade-long yo-yo diet struggle led her to finally ask the right question — and lose 40 pounds in six months by ditching everything she'd been told about weight loss
    • Lisa's parallel journey: diagnosed with autoimmune disease in her teens and twenties, hitting 280 pounds at 40, and eventually losing over 100 pounds (and keeping it off for eight years) by eating the same way TAS is built on
    • The Christmas Eve party conversation that started it all — and why Ruth's first answer when asked "who would you sell Thinlicious to?" was Lisa, without hesitation
    • What this transition actually means for you as a member of this community — and why the best of Thinlicious is still ahead
    • What's coming next: more coaching, more community, and more of what has always made this program work

    This isn't goodbye. It's the beginning of something even bigger. Ruth isn't disappearing — she's cheering Lisa on as her partner and biggest fan. And Lisa? She's been living this mission for years. She just gets to lead it now.

    If you're a woman over 40 who's tired of feeling sick, exhausted, and like your body has stopped cooperating — you're in the right place. The Feel Better, Live Free podcast is back on a regular schedule, and we cannot wait to show you what's coming.

  • Losing 80 Pounds As a Mom of Two Under Two with Tiffany Greer
    Nov 10 2025

    Two babies under two. 80 pounds lost. More energy than ever.
    And the best part? She’s just getting started.

    Today I’m excited to introduce you to one of my incredible clients, Tiffany Greer, and to share her incredible story, because it’s both super relatable and incredibly inspiring.

    She’s a young mom of two little girls under the age of two, who joined the TAS program at 28 years old—and has since lost more than 80 pounds, completely transformed her energy, and reclaimed her confidence in a BIG way.

    But her journey hasn’t been linear. She’s faced pregnancy, miscarriage, doubt, and even a few Taco Bell detours along the way. And yet, she kept coming back, and every time she did, she saw more results—because she finally found the truth about how her body actually works.

    So whether you’re a busy mom, just getting started, or feel like you’ve tried everything, I know you’re going to be inspired by her story.

    Let’s get into it.

  • Parasites, Trauma & Toxins: The Hidden Roots of Chronic Symptoms with Carrie Drinkwine
    Nov 3 2025

    If you’ve tried everything—from doctors to diets to detoxes—and still feel exhausted, inflamed, or just off... this episode is for you.


    Because what if the real reason you’re not healing isn’t your willpower... it’s that no one’s actually gotten to the root of what’s going on?

    In this episode we’re chatting with Carrie Drinkwine, a regenerative health expert, root-cause specialist, and the founder of the Institute of Regenerative Health. After healing herself from multiple autoimmune conditions, chronic illness, and even infertility, Carrie made it her mission to help other women do the same—physically, emotionally, and energetically.

    And let me tell you, this conversation is deep. We talk about why so many women get stuck in survival mode, what conventional and even functional medicine often misses, and how real healing can actually start when you go beyond just managing symptoms.

    If your labs say you’re “fine” but you still feel like garbage… if you’ve spent years pushing through the pain, the fog, the anxiety—this episode is going to challenge what you think you know about your body.
    But more than that, it’s going to give you hope.

    So let’s dive in.
