Welcome back to the Dr. Kinney Show! In this episode, I'm sharing real-life case studies to highlight something so many people overlook—the fundamental habits that create lasting health.We often assume that mystery symptoms like fatigue, brain fog, digestive issues, and hormone imbalances must be caused by a complex diagnosis like Lyme disease, mold toxicity, or a rare condition. But what if your body is simply screaming for the basics—better sleep, hydration, nutrition, and emotional balance?In Today's Episode We Discuss:Why chronic symptoms don't always mean a complex diagnosisHow poor sleep, alcohol consumption, and stress can mimic serious illnessThe impact of nutrition and hydration on brain fog, fatigue, and hormone healthWhy sunlight, movement, and nature exposure are essential for healingThe connection between stuck emotions and physical symptomsHow two patients turned their health around by focusing on simple habitsIf you've been struggling with unexplained symptoms and feel frustrated by a lack of answers, this episode is a reminder to go back to the basics. Sometimes, small lifestyle shifts can lead to big transformations.Dr. Kinney's Foundational Health Checklist:✅ Prioritize deep, restorative sleep (ditch the late-night scrolling!)✅ Drink enough water (half your body weight in ounces daily)✅ Eat balanced meals (protein, fiber, and healthy fats)✅ Get outside daily (morning sunlight is a game-changer)✅ Move your body (walking, stretching, or strength training)✅ Address emotional stress (therapy, journaling, or nervous system support)When your body is out of balance, it speaks to you through symptoms—are you listening?Want More Support?Work with me: www.drerinkinney.comFollow me on Instagram: @drkinney for daily wellness tipsListen to past episodes on stress, adrenal health, and hormone balanceDr. Erin Kinney is a Naturopathic Doctor, coach, and speaker, who helps patients understand their bodies to regain control of their health.

Welcome back to the Dr. Kinney Show! Have you ever fallen asleep easily but found yourself wide awake between 1 and 4 AM—unable to fall back asleep? If so, you're not alone! Many of my patients struggle with this, and in this episode, I'm diving into why this happens and what you can do to fix it.Waking up in the middle of the night is often linked to cortisol imbalances, stress, and circadian rhythm disruptions. While many people try to fix it by taking sleep aids before bed, the real key is resetting your body's natural sleep-wake cycle.In Today's Episode We Discuss:Why a surge in cortisol often wakes you up at 3 AMHow stress and adrenal imbalances throw off your sleep cycleWhy melatonin and cortisol work in opposition (and how to balance them)The best bedtime routine to support deeper sleepHow morning sunlight exposure can reset your circadian rhythmThe role of adrenal support and relaxation techniques in fixing nighttime wake-upsA simple 10-minute “toes up” practice to calm your nervous systemIf you've been struggling with restless nights, stress, or waking up too early, this episode is packed with actionable strategies to help you regulate your sleep and wake up feeling refreshed.Dr. Kinney's Sleep Reset Formula:1️⃣ Limit screens before bed (reduce blue light exposure)2️⃣ Try a small dose of melatonin (1-3mg) to regulate sleep-wake timing3️⃣ Get natural morning sunlight before 10 AM (or use a lightbox)4️⃣ Support your adrenals with adaptogens, B vitamins, and magnesium5️⃣ Practice relaxation during the day (Dr. Kinney's “toes up” method)Give these strategies a few weeks, and you'll notice a big difference in your sleep quality!Want More Support?Discount Code: POD25 -  https://optimal-harmony-with-dr-kinney.myshopify.comWork with me: www.drerinkinney.comFollow me on Instagram: @drkinney for more sleep and health tipsListen to past episodes on stress, adrenal health, and sleep optimization

Welcome back to the Dr. Kinney Show! In this solo episode, I'm diving into one of the most misunderstood health concerns I see in my practice—thyroid dysfunction. So many women come in with classic hypothyroid symptoms—fatigue, weight gain, constipation, brain fog—only to be told by their doctor that their thyroid is "normal."But here's the truth: TSH alone isn't enough to assess thyroid health. Many thyroid imbalances go undiagnosed because traditional lab testing doesn't provide the full picture. In this episode, I'll break down what tests you actually need, what your results really mean, and why your symptoms matter more than a lab reference range.In Today's Episode We Discuss:Common symptoms of hypothyroidism that often get dismissedWhy TSH alone isn't enough to diagnose thyroid issuesThe six essential thyroid tests you need:TSHFree T4Free T3Reverse T3T3 UptakeThyroid AntibodiesHow low T3 levels and poor conversion impact metabolism, energy, and weightThe connection between thyroid function, stress, and gut healthHow Hashimoto's (thyroid autoimmunity) often goes undiagnosedThe difference between synthetic (Synthroid) and natural thyroid medicationsWhy addressing root causes—like nutrient deficiencies, mold, infections, and adrenal health—is key to healingIf you've been told your thyroid is "fine" but still feel off, this episode is for you. You deserve to feel your best—and that starts with getting the right testing and working with a provider who listens.Resources & Next Steps:Want to work with me?

Why do you still feel drained, even after a full night's sleep? Could it be 'Cortisol Debt'? Welcome back to the Dr. Kinney show! In this episode, we're exploring the critical role that rest plays in healing, with a particular focus on adrenal fatigue and burnout. I like to explain cortisol as the body's 'currency.' Much like financial budgeting, rest helps us 'earn' energy, while our daily activities and stress 'spend' it.  When we don't get enough rest, we end up in what I call 'cortisol debt,' and that's when symptoms like fatigue, anxiety, and even skin issues start to appear. I really want to emphasize how important it is to incorporate restorative practices like meditation and acupuncture into your routine. These practices help the body recover and manage stress more effectively.  Throughout the episode, I'll also be breaking down the body's stress response and explaining exactly how prolonged stress leads to adrenal fatigue. My hope is that by the end of this episode, you'll feel inspired to prioritize relaxation and rethink some of your habits to reduce stress in your life.In Today's Episode We Discuss ·        Understanding Cortisol and Energy·        The Concept of Cortisol Debt·        Symptoms of Adrenal Fatigue·        The Importance of Rest and Meditation·        The Stress Response Explained·        Long-term effects of Chronic Stress·        Rebalancing Your Body's EnergyIt's important to remember your energy is like currency, and by incorporating more rest, meditation, and even acupuncture, you can help your body stay balanced and strong. As you move forward, my advice is to listen to your body. Prioritize relaxation, give yourself permission to rest, and make self-care a non-negotiable part of your routine. Where We Can Connect Listen on Your Favorite Podcast PlatformFollow the PodcastWatch & Subscribe on YouTubeFollow Me on InstagramConnect With Me on Facebook  Follow & Review On Apple PodcastsAre you following the podcast?

How much do your thoughts and words actually influence your health and healing process? Welcome back to the Dr. Kinney show! In this episode, I'm diving into why your mindset plays such a huge role in your health and healing.  I see so many patients get stuck in negative thought cycles that seem impossible to break. The truth is, your brain can't tell the difference between what's happening in reality and what's going on in your head. This means that you can actually transform your body just by changing the way you think.Positive energy is real! It has a genuine impact on your body. This goes for how you talk to yourself, and how others speak to you - whether it's a friend, colleague, family member, or partner. Words hold a lot of power.   You can acknowledge what's going on with your health while still focusing on the small victories that keep you in a positive mindset. When you stay in that space, that's when real change happens.  In Today's Episode We Discuss ·        The Power of Mindset in Healing·        Understanding the Law of Attraction·        The Brain's Role in Perception·        Impact of Words on the Body·        Practical Steps to Shift Your Mindset·        Recognizing and Celebrating ProgressRemember to take it one step at a time—celebrate your progress, however small, and be mindful of the words you use both with yourself and others. You have more control over your health than you might realize, and every positive thought brings you closer to healing.   Where We Can Connect Listen on Your Favorite Podcast PlatformFollow the PodcastWatch & Subscribe on YouTubeFollow Me on InstagramConnect With Me on Facebook Follow & Review On Apple PodcastsAre you following the podcast?
