About This Podcast
Up Your Total Glow is for high-functioning people who look like they have it all together but feel disconnected, depleted or no longer themselves underneath it all.
If your body feels off, your energy isn’t holding, or what used to work no longer does… this is where we go deeper.
This podcast goes beyond surface-level wellness, routines or “fixing” symptoms.
It’s about understanding what your body is actually communicating — and learning how to respond in a way that restores real energy, stability and vitality.
Through a deeply personalised, body-led approach grounded in nervous system work and Ayurvedic wisdom, Ruth Balsiger guides you back into connection with your body, your energy and your natural rhythm.
Inside, you’ll explore:
• why your energy drops — even when you’re doing everything “right”
• how to shift out of survival mode without forcing or overriding yourself
• what your body truly needs to feel safe, supported, and steady again
• how to rebuild vitality in a way that is sustainable and deeply personal
This is not about discipline, restriction or pushing through.
It’s about working with your body instead of against it.
Because when your body feels supported, everything changes — your energy, your clarity, your capacity, and how you experience your life.
