Elevated Conversations | Health and Healing

What if speech challenges, jaw pain, mouth breathing, or even poor sleep weren't just isolated issues — but nervous system signals? In this week's episode, I sit down with Denise Lowe, Speech Language Pathologist, to explore the powerful connection between oral function, nervous system regulation, and whole-body health. We unpack: • What myofunctional therapy actually is • Why tongue posture, swallowing patterns, and breathing matter more than you think • The hidden signs parents often miss in their children • How jaw tension, clenching, and grinding connect to stress physiology • What Neuro Emotional Technique (NET) is — and how it helps regulate subconscious stress patterns • Why addressing both structure and nervous system function changes outcomes This conversation goes far beyond articulation. We talk about sleep quality, TMD, chronic tension, airway development, communication struggles, and the emotional patterns that can quietly drive physical symptoms. If you or your child experience mouth breathing, speech delays, clenching, jaw pain, chronic tension, or sleep disruption — this episode will open your eyes to a deeper root-cause lens. Because healing isn't just mechanical. It's neurological. It's emotional. And it's functional. Podcast Offer Denise is offering a $99 initial Neuro Emotional Technique session when you mention this podcast. Offer valid through March 28th, 2026. If you have been curious about nervous system work but didn't know where to begin — this is a beautiful entry point. March 23: 10-Day Blood Sugar Reset And if this episode sparked curiosity about the nervous system's role in metabolism, inflammation, or stress — my 10-Day Blood Sugar Reset kicks off March 23rd. Blood sugar dysregulation affects: • Mood • Hormones • Sleep • Energy • Inflammation • Cravings • Nervous system stability This guided reset walks you through simple, strategic changes to stabilize glucose, calm stress physiology, and reclaim metabolic resilience.

This Lenten mini series invites listeners into the desert — not as a place of punishment, but as a place of encounter. Guided by Scripture, Catholic tradition, and whole-person reflection, these short episodes explore fasting, suffering, surrender, and restoration through the lens of faith and trust. Together, we'll reflect on what it means to return to God with our hearts, embrace the refining work of Lent with hope, and prepare ourselves for the joy of resurrection.

Most parents are told the same thing: “They'll grow out of it.” Snoring. Mouth breathing. Grinding. ADHD symptoms. Crooked teeth. But what if they don't? In this powerful conversation, Ellie sits down with airway-focused dentist Dr. Jamie St. Marie to unpack the truth behind pediatric airway development — and why what looks cosmetic on the outside may be deeply functional underneath. You'll learn: • Why crooked teeth are often a structural message • The difference between cosmetic orthodontics and functional expansion • How mouth breathing shapes the face, brain, and nervous system • Why “wait and see” can become adult fatigue, anxiety, and sleep apnea • The real difference between Phase One and Phase Two orthodontics • What options exist for adults who were missed as kids This episode is not about perfect smiles. It's about foundation. Because children don't grow out of airway issues. They grow into adults who are tired, wired, inflamed, and grinding their teeth at night. If you're a parent — or an adult who's been told your symptoms are “normal” — this episode may change everything.

Elevate your health starting with the foundation. In this episode, Ellie sits down with Katie to unpack why gut-first healing matters and how true restoration goes far beyond probiotics, cleanses, or symptom suppression. Together, they explore how the gut microbiome influences digestion, hormones, immunity, inflammation, mood, and energy — and why so many people stay stuck when they guess instead of test. Katie shares what she sees clinically, the most common gut patterns holding clients back, and how data-driven functional testing, including comprehensive stool testing from Vibrant America, brings clarity and precision to the healing process. You'll also learn more about GutWell, Katie's 6-month, practitioner-led gut restoration program designed to rebalance the microbiome, uncover root digestive dysfunction, and restore whole-body vitality through personalized protocols, targeted nutrition, and ongoing clinical support. This conversation is for anyone dealing with chronic digestive symptoms, hormone imbalance, inflammation, food sensitivities, or the feeling that their body just isn't responding — even when they're “doing all the right things.” Inside this episode: Why surface-level gut fixes often fail What functional stool testing reveals that standard labs miss How the microbiome impacts hormones, immunity, and the nervous system What makes the GutWell Program different from one-time consults or cleanses Who gut restoration is truly for — and when deeper support is needed

Inflammation isn't the enemy—it's information. In this episode, we unpack what inflammation really is, why so many women are walking around inflamed without realizing it, and how chronic inflammation quietly disrupts hormones, metabolism, gut health, brain clarity, and energy. We'll talk through the hidden drivers of inflammation most people miss—blood sugar swings, nervous system overload, gut dysfunction, toxin exposure, and nutrient depletion—and why simply “eating clean” or exercising harder often isn't enough. This conversation is about restoring balance, not fear. You'll walk away with a clearer understanding of how your body communicates, how inflammation becomes chronic, and the practical, root-cause steps that actually calm the system so healing can happen. If you've been told your labs are “normal” but you don't feel normal… this episode is for you. ✨ Whole-body healing ✨ Root-cause education ✨ Faith-forward stewardship of your health Work With Elevated Integrative Wellness Book an initial consult and use code LOVE for 30% off:

What if your body isn't failing you—but faithfully communicating with you? In this episode, we explore what's really happening when stress starts to show up physically: fatigue, tension, digestive issues, anxiety, hormone disruption, and burnout that no amount of “trying harder” seems to fix. Through a nervous-system–informed lens, we'll unpack why these symptoms aren't signs of a broken body, but signals of a body asking for safety. This is a gentle, grounding conversation for women who are tired of fixing and ready to start listening. We'll talk about stress, regulation, and what it actually means to support healing at the root—especially in seasons of motherhood, leadership, and constant demand. If you've ever felt like your body is working against you, this episode is an invitation to pause, breathe, and reconsider what healing might really require.

In this special and heartfelt episode, Ellie is joined by her daughter Ana for an honest conversation about what it really means to heal whole—body, mind, and soul. Together, they explore how health isn't just about what we eat or how we move, but how we think, how we rest, how we pray, and how we care for our hearts. Ana shares, from a 10-year-old's perspective, the simple practices she uses to take care of her body, mind, and soul—from nourishing foods and movement, to quiet time, gratitude, and staying connected to God. This episode is a gentle reminder that true wellness can be learned young and lived simply. Ellie weaves in her clinical and motherly perspective, reflecting on why integrative healing must address the whole person—and how these same principles guide the care offered through Elevated Integrative Wellness, including their virtual care services for individuals and families seeking root-cause healing. This episode is for parents, practitioners, and anyone longing for a more grounded, faith-filled approach to wellness—and a reminder that healing is not complicated, but it is intentional.

More girls are getting their first period at 8, 9, even 10 years old — and while there is a normal range for puberty, this trend deserves a deeper conversation. In this episode, Ellie breaks down why early cycles are becoming more common, what history and current research actually show us, and — most importantly — why early menarche is not a neutral event for long-term health. We talk about: What age girls typically should begin menstruating Why “common” does not always mean “optimal” How modern inputs like food quality, environmental chemicals, stress, and sleep disruption are signaling young bodies to grow up faster The long-term health implications of early puberty, including hormone imbalance, metabolic dysfunction, mental health challenges, fertility considerations, and increased disease risk later in life What parents can realistically do now to reduce toxic load and support healthier hormonal timing — without fear, perfection, or going off-grid This episode is not about blame.It's about awareness, empowerment, and stewardship of our daughters' health. Puberty isn't broken.The inputs are. A proactive, education-based course for parents who want to understand hormones, cycles, blood sugar, and modern health inputs — and help their daughters grow up grounded, informed, and supported. ⁠

If your metabolism feels stuck… If hormones feel chaotic… If digestion, energy, or weight loss feel harder than they should… Your liver is likely part of the story. In this episode, Ellie dives into the liver — an organ that quietly performs hundreds of vital functions every single day, yet is often overlooked until symptoms appear. We break down what the liver actually does, why it plays such a critical role in metabolism, digestion, hormone balance, and detoxification, and how modern life has placed an unprecedented load on this powerful system. You'll learn: Why the liver is the metabolic “air traffic control center” of the body How liver function impacts digestion, bile flow, and nutrient absorption The connection between the liver and hormone balance (including estrogen and cortisol) Why liver overload can stall fat loss and disrupt blood sugar How stress and emotional load influence liver signaling in the body Simple, realistic ways to support liver health — without extreme detoxes or deprivation This episode isn't about “cleanses” as a trend. It's about understanding why support matters and how partnering with your body changes everything downstream. When the liver is supported, metabolism gets easier. Hormones regulate more smoothly. Energy returns.

Detox doesn't have to feel extreme, punishing, or overwhelming. In this episode, Ellie Anderson—integrative wellness practitioner and founder of Elevated Integrative Wellness—reframes detox as something your body is already designed to do when it's supported in the right order. You'll learn why so many detox attempts fail, how blocked drainage pathways create symptoms, and why healing begins with opening the exits before pushing detox deeper. This conversation blends clinical insight, whole-person healing, and faith-anchored wisdom to help you reconnect with your body and trust its ability to heal. ✨ Ready for gentle, guided support?

Join this Elevated conversation unpacking how prenatal chiropractic care supports labor outcomes, and how infant craniosacral therapy helps babies feed, breathe, sleep, and thrive. Focus: Prenatal + Pediatric Chiropractic Care A deep dive into Webster Technique, infant CST, tongue-tie patterns, and how the nervous system shapes feeding, sleep, airway, and development. Guest Bio — Dr. Breanna | Summit Chiropractic & Wellness Dr. Breanna's story with chiropractic began long before her degree ever did — as a young competitive figure skater struggling with unexpected back pain, reduced range of motion, allergies, headaches, and recurring illnesses. After routine chiropractic care changed her health so dramatically, it became a foundational part of her life and eventually her calling. Originally from Canada, she moved to Minnesota to pursue her Chiropractic degree knowing she wanted to serve in healthcare — but outside of the hospital model. During her schooling, she completed internships in prenatal and pediatric clinics where she saw first-hand how chiropractic care shapes pregnancy experiences, improves labor outcomes, and restores function in infants and children. That's where her passion was born — and she has never looked back. She became Webster certified through the ICPA and continues postgraduate learning yearly to deepen her skill in pregnancy and pediatric care. When she began noticing that some babies were improving — but plateauing — she dove into bodywork and became trained in Craniosacral Therapy (CST) to better support infants whose fascial tension, tethered oral tissues (lip/tongue ties), and nervous system stress needed more than adjustment alone. Today, she blends precise chiropractic adjusting, Webster technique, and infant CST to help moms feel better in pregnancy, optimize labor positioning, shorten labor time, support postpartum healing, and resolve feeding, airway, digestive, and developmental challenges in babies. Her care philosophy is simple: Common does not mean normal — and you deserve answers, connection, and a team who listens to your instincts.

In this Thanksgiving episode, 211, Ellie unpacks one of the most underestimated healing tools we have — gratitude. Not the cliché version, but the version backed by neuroscience, physiology, and Scripture. You'll hear how gratitude literally rewires the brain, lowers cortisol, stabilizes the nervous system, and creates the internal safety your body needs to heal. Ellie breaks down what research tells us about gratitude's impact on inflammation, emotional resilience, hormones, and metabolism — and why it works even faster than most people realize. But she doesn't stop at the science. Ellie brings her signature faith lens as she explores why gratitude is often hardest in the seasons we need it most — and how practicing thanksgiving becomes an act of spiritual warfare, grounding, and trust when life feels overwhelming. If you're craving a reset, a breath, or a reminder of what God is doing in the middle of your busy, beautiful, messy life… this episode will meet you right where you are. Science. Scripture. Nervous system regulation. And a reminder that gratitude isn't a feeling — it's a healing. Perfect for your Thanksgiving morning walk, a quiet moment before family arrives, or a reset after a full, loud, wonderful day.

Guest: Todd LaVine, Founder of Agape Pastoral Ministries (Anoka, MN) Host: Ellie Anderson, Elevated Conversations A heartfelt and truth-filled conversation on what it means to build a “'til death do us part” marriage in a world that's forgotten covenant — exploring God's design for unity, healing, and transformation within marriage.

She also teases upcoming episodes on trauma-informed healing, fertility, and chiropractic techniques—reminding listeners that aging well isn't about reversing time, but about living in alignment with the body God designed.

Most people think mold is just a problem for old, damp basements—but the truth is far more alarming. In this episode, Ellie sits down with Vickie Swenson, certified mold inspector and founder of MN Mold Inspection, to uncover the hidden ways mold infiltrates our homes, our bodies, and even our minds.

Meet Dr. Elissa! Pelvic floor Physical Therapist. - She started practicing pelvic floor Physical Therapy after Dr. Jesse convinced her to combine her love of women's health and Physical Therapy and it ignited a passion in her that changed her career forever. - She is also a mom to two boys that have been a complete blessing to her life. This transition to being a mom has also informed how she treats patients as entering into motherhood is such a special and tender time in a woman's life. - She was a collegiate swimmer and so has always been active and athletic but now that looks more like camping in the pop up with her husband and kids, running, biking and being outdoors in the summer, and cold swimming in the winter. She has also recently been dabbling in baking with sourdough and loving sharing the fruits of her labor with family and friends! -- Chiro for Moms YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@chiroformoms -- Pelvic Floor for Moms Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/pelvicfloor_for_moms/ -- My email address is team@pelvicfloorformoms.com
