Are you really “not stressed”—or have you just gotten used to living in survival mode? In this episode of The Wellness Effect, we dive deep into the sneaky ways stress shows up in the body (spoiler: it's not just anxiety and burnout). From hair loss and hormone imbalances to stubborn belly fat and gut issues, we break down the difference between internal and external stress and how to know when your body is waving the red flag. We unpack what's really going on with your HPA axis, why minerals and nourishment matter more than you think, and why rest isn't a luxury—it's essential for healing. If you've been feeling like something's “off” but can't pinpoint why, this episode is your roadmap to uncovering the root cause.   In this episode, we discuss… What internal stress actually is (and how it mimics external stress in your body) Why cortisol isn't the villain—and how to support your adrenals for long-term resilience The real reasons so many women are undernourished (even if they're eating enough) How your environment, trauma, light exposure, and even your friendships affect your stress load What the HPA axis is and how it connects your gut, hormones, and nervous system Why you can't “out supplement” internal stress—and the foundational habits that move the needle How to start replenishing your body's “bank account” through food, sleep, nervous system support, and boundaries     Resources & Links Mentioned S02E20 - Endocrine Disruptors: 5 Hidden Toxins That Could Be Wrecking Your Hormones HTMA and GI Map testing for deeper insight into mineral and gut health 12-Week Root Cause Reset Program — DM us on our Instagrams “RESET” to join       Want more from us?

If you've ever said, “I was so good all day… and then lost control at night,” you're not alone. In this episode of The Wellness Effect, we're diving into one of the most common (and least talked about) struggles: the binge and restrict cycle.   Join us as we break down the binge/restrict cycle from both a physical and emotional lens. We talk about why restriction often isn't about willpower—it's a signal from your body that it's not getting what it needs. From skipping breakfast to overly “clean” eating, many women unknowingly fall into patterns that create nighttime cravings, shame, and guilt.   This conversation offers a refreshing blend of honesty, education, and practical tools to help listeners identify their triggers, shift their mindset, and fuel their bodies without obsession or extremes. If you want to break free from bringe and restrict cycle, tune in now!   Key Takeaways: The binge and restrict cycle is more common than most realize – Many people unknowingly fall into it by under-eating during the day and overeating at night, often blaming themselves instead of recognizing the physiological and emotional roots. Eating enough throughout the day—especially a balanced breakfast—is crucial – Consistent, nourishing meals stabilize blood sugar, reduce cravings, and are a foundational step to breaking the cycle. Awareness and self-compassion are essential for healing – Journaling, setting realistic goals, and reframing the narrative around food can empower individuals to shift from shame to progress.     Want more from us?

Trying to conceive can feel like an emotional rollercoaster—and no one talks about it enough. In this episode of The Wellness Effect, we're continuing Kira's fertility journey, breaking down the mindset, supplements, and support that helped her conceive after loss. In this deeply vulnerable and powerful episode, Kira shares more details about the physical, emotional, and spiritual layers of her fertility journey—from grieving multiple losses to navigating early pregnancy with cautious hope. She gets real about the supplements that helped, the importance of mineral support, how parasites may have played a role, and the healing power of talking to other women. Lacey also shares the start of her own conception journey—balancing uncertainty with curiosity and shifting mindset after years of not wanting kids. This episode is a beautiful reminder that everyone's timeline and experience is different—and there's no perfect way to do this.     Key Takeaways: Supplements aren't everything—but they helped. Kira shares the specific fertility supplements that supported her, including CoQ10, NAC, and minerals, but reminds listeners they're only one piece of the puzzle. Your partner's health matters, too. Fertility isn't just a “female issue”—it's also important to include male partners in testing, supplements, and mindset. Mindset and language shape your journey. Calling it a “fertility journey” vs. “infertility journey” may sound small—but how you speak about your body and path matters. You don't have to do this alone. Community, vulnerability, and connecting with other women on the same journey can be incredibly healing. Conventional answers aren't always the full picture. Question dismissive medical advice and start advocating for yourself. It's okay if your story is messy. This journey isn't linear—grief, fear, hope, and joy can all coexist, and you deserve space for all of it.     Want more from us?

Can letting go be the very thing that brings your deepest desire? In this heart-opening episode of The Wellness Effect, Kira shares her vulnerable and powerful story of navigating fertility struggles, loss, and finally… a pregnancy. This conversation isn't just about motherhood—it's about healing, trusting your body, and choosing softness on the journey. Together, we dive into the deep and often unspoken realities of the fertility journey. Kira shares the emotional weight of multiple losses, the toll of clinging to timelines, and what finally shifted her path. We also discuss how emotional regulation, nervous system healing, and surrender played a role—not only in conception but in overall well-being. This isn't a “just relax and it will happen” story. It's an honest look at the messy, nonlinear path of creating life and choosing self-love along the way.   Key Takeaways: Letting go can open the door to healing. Chronic stress, emotional dysregulation, and being stuck in a survival state can block your body's ability to feel safe enough to conceive. Pregnancy after loss brings complicated emotions. Joy, fear, grief, and gratitude often exist at the same time—and it's okay to feel them all. Healing isn't about perfection—it's about safety. Focus on foundational support (like sleep, minerals, and nourishment) rather than obsessing over doing everything “right” made the biggest difference. Everyone's timeline is different—and that's okay. Fertility is about more than just physical health. Mindset, emotional processing, energetic alignment, and trust in your body are just as important as labs, supplements, and protocols.   Want more from us?
