Podcasts about healing hormones

If your body feels like it's stuck in stress mode no matter how “healthy” you try to be, your mindset might be the missing piece.  In this episode, we're breaking down four common mental blocks that keep your hormones out of balance… and simple mindset shifts that can help you finally feel more at home in your body. We'll talk about how perfectionist thinking can actually keep your nervous system on edge and how focusing on small daily habits (à la James Clear's 1-degree plane shift) can create long-term change without burnout.Next up: guilt and shame. I'll share the stonecutter analogy that helps you swap shame for pride and consistency.We'll also explore how body frustration can morph into powerful gratitude when you zoom out including a powerful reframe I picked up from Alex Hormozi.And if you've ever felt like a single slip-up ruins your progress, you'll love the final mindset swap: learning to see those moments as tune-ups, not setbacks. Something I've had to lean into recently myself. These mindset upgrades aren't just motivational fluff. They lower stress, regulate your nervous system, and support better hormone balance over time.Whether you're deep in your healing journey or just getting started, these small mental shifts can make a big physical difference! Time Stamps: (1:22) Excited For Festive Food(3:10) Stress Management and Healing Hormones(5:16) Instant Gratification(6:45) #1: Perfectionistic Tendencies(10:52) #2: Guilt and Shame(15:32) #3: Feeling Stress About Your Body(21:47) #4: Seeing Slip-Ups As Setbacks---------------------Find Out More Information on Vital Spark Coaching---------------------Follow @vanessagfitness on Instagram for daily fitness tips & motivation. ---------------------Download Our FREE Metabolism-Boosting Workout Program---------------------Join the Women's Metabolism Secrets Facebook Community for 25+ videos teaching you how to start losing fat without hating your life!---------------------Click here to send me a message on Facebook and we'll see how I can help or what best free resources I can share!---------------------Interested in 1-on-1 Coaching with my team of Metabolism & Hormone Experts?

Tatiana Fogt from the Bedside Podcast is our guest today!  We'll be talking all about healing hormones, unraveling shame and upgrading sexual pleasure. Tatiana shares about her own hormone journey, which started with a bad experience on Yas. She saw first-hand in her early 20's that not all prescription synthetic hormones will work with every body. Tatiana then experienced hormonal acne after coming off of Yas, and developed a desire to learn how to manage hormones in natural non-prescription ways. After this extensive, self-led learning journey, she decided that the topic of sexual health needed a rebrand - one that she could offer because of her background in marketing and design. Now, she hosts an incredible platform where people can find the information they've been looking for around sexual health and wellness. Her podcast has recently discussed everything from relationship attachment styles to reducing cortisol levels to defining sensuality, and she's helping her audience grow their knowledge and confidence around relationships and sex. On this episode we discuss common misconceptions around libido, desire, and the diverse, natural ebb and flow of what turns each individual human on or off. Tatiana also shares some good insight about how we can communicate with our partners without hurting feelings, and about cultivating different types intimacy within our relationships. We discuss how to open up better communication with a partner. Then, we share some tips on how to re-write old shame scripts. We talk about how we learned to be in charge of our own destinies, become who we want to be, and feel more secure in our own bodies. We describe what good communication might look like for us in our respective relationships, and we express our gratitude that we've been able to to step in to our true, loving, wild selves and live fuller lives. We talk about how pleasure can be defined more broadly to include play, rest, enjoyment and fulfillment. Then, we end the episode on the topic of shifting generational habits and hangups, and the importance of creating space in our lives for what we truly want and desire. I love what Tatiana has to share about deciding she was done waiting on anything or anyone, and just making moves in her own life, career and calling.

How strong is your support network of close friends that you can be open and real with? Personally, this is an area I've struggled with a lot as a career driven woman. Community is also something that plays a huge role in our over all health and hormone balance. This episode unpacks why community is so important to our hormones and gives you some things to think about to strengthen your own community. I also share some new things I'm working on and am really excited about because they focus on community at the core of our healing journey.Links mentioned in this episode:The Emergent Women Circle-www.emergentwomencircle.com Subscribe to Dr. Alex: https://emergent-women.ck.page/0b2e48c7cb Episode Transcript:[00:00] So I don't know about you, but I have struggled through my adult life to maintain close friendships and relationships and community among other women.[00:11] And I've been thinking about this a.[00:13] Lot lately because this is also a significant part of having balance and having our hormones work. And we're going to unpack what that means today. But I also think that for those of us who identify as high achievers, we're driven and we're always after the next thing. That's a lot of what being a high achiever is about. It can be hard to prioritize friendship because we're already stretched so thin in our careers and in our personal and family lives. And so it's something that gets missed.[00:52] Welcome to The Selfless Syndrome Show, where we help women executives and entrepreneurs rise through Adversity, connect to their intuition, transform their hormones, and get their energy back. This is the show where we go beyond asking how do I treat my symptoms? And instead examine how do I truly heal, transform my hormones, and change my life? We are here to bring you outside the box ideas, interviews, and action steps focused in the areas of health, relationships, and our career, all three of which have a huge impact on our hormones. My name is Dr. Alex Swenson Ridley. I'm your host, mentor, speaker, author, entrepreneur, and thought leader on hormones and work life balance for high achieving women. I'm also a wife's, mom, and stepmom to four boys and a furball. And I'm a woman whose own life experience and journey from Adversity and the resulting hormonal chaos to finding hormonal harmony has led to me helping other women break with convention and find the tools they need to not just survive, but thrive. Ready to dive in? Let's go.[01:53] What I started to see and really have recognized, especially when I was writing my book on Selfless Syndrome that came out in January, is that we're missing this really important component that we were designed to be in relationship with others and in community. And I'm not talking about the pandemic or pre or being introverted or extroverted or that has nothing to do with any of this. There is something that we gain from being in relationship with others, particularly peers and those who we can relate to in a peer way. Women who get us and understand us, that actually helps us to de escalate from stress. We as women, go through something called tend and befriend. And the way I think about this is I'm going to tell you to share a little story here that I actually shared in my book. But I grew up in Vermont, which is actually where I'm recording this because I'm here helping my mom recover from a pelvic. Broken pelvis. But when I was a kid, we would go out and go hiking all the time. And there was a stay where we were driving to what was my favorite.[02:57] Mountain because we...

Today's guest on Healing Hormones is Avanti Kumar-Singh, MD, a former ER doctor turned ayurvedic healer. Finding the ancient Indian medical practice after – you guessed it – experiencing her own health and wellness issues that traditional medicine could not address in a way that relieved her symptoms, she knew there had to be a better way. Ayurveda relies on a natural approach to physical and mental health; getting closer to nature is the goal. In this conversation, she gives us very practical tools of how we can start to implement its principles into our lives, simply, so that we can start to heal the body. We also talk about finding balance between ancient and modern practices, another common theme we hear on this podcast. In this respect, Dr. Singh's is another voice that sings in those gray areas – because there really is no black and white when it comes to staying healthy.

Today's guest is Tamar Samuels, a registered Dietitian Nutritionist, National Board Certified Health Coach, and the co-founder of https://culinahealth.com/ (Culina Health). In this episode, we talk a lot about how, when you're trying to heal the root cause of what's going on, whether it's gut issues, hormone health, thyroid disorders – really, whatever it is – it can cause us to have a lot of disordered eating tendencies and black-and-white thinking that actually ends up doing a lot more harm than good. We talk about the benefits of eating the rainbow and dig into some practical things you can do to get out of a disordered eating mindset and choose foods that are going to be healing of inflammation, balancing for hormones, and helpful for the thyroid. Tamar also shares some resources that you can look into if you are looking for additional professional support.

Today on the show, I am talking to Courtney Babilya, who is a fitness nurse and mom of two on a mission to help women find their way out of diet culture, and back into their power, through sustainable fitness and cyclical living. We talk about her difficult rock bottom, complicated further by a misdiagnosis of bipolar syndrome and some challenging reactions to the medications she was prescribed. Constantly fighting her own body with overtraining and an eating disorder, something had to change. Her success story is as inspiring as it is educational.  Of course we touch on her experience with different birth control measures, from a “lost” arm implant to an immediate decision to ditch her NuvaRing. Today's most important and most actionable advice, though, comes in the form of Courtney's 2022-proof fitness routines, and how we can and should be considering our cycle when planning out our workouts. There's no shame in this game; being active, healthy, and fit does not mean being in the gym everyday. NEW! Starting October 10th – Courtney and I are launching a special bundle, combining LUNA with the Keeping Balance Method for a single low price.

Does this sound like you? You're considering ditching birth control and finally starting Fertility Awareness Method … but you're feeling totally stuck. On one hand, you're so nervous to stop the pill because you've been on it more years than you can count, and on the other hand, you're terrified of getting pregnant. It feels so paralyzing! I hear these fears a lot and you're absolutely not alone. The best way to ease the fear of transitioning to FAM (aka natural birth control) is to become more educated and confident in the method before taking the leap! In this episode, I have compiled some of the most common Fertility Awareness Method questions I get about learning FAM after years on birth control. I hope it helps answer a few of your burning questions, too, and gives you the boost of confidence you need to start FAM! We Chat About: Can I learn FAM while I'm still on hormonal birth control? Can I learn Fertility Awareness Method while still having a copper IUD? How long does it take to learn the Fertility Awareness Method successfully? Do I need a course or can I learn FAM on my own? I want to work with a certified instructor! When is the best time to  join LUNA? Can I extend my LUNA Membership if I still need your support beyond 6-months?

Many women who are looking towards natural birth control (aka http://www.nourishedwithnina.com/famtraining (Fertility Awareness Method)) are curious about the rise in popularity of wearable thermometers. With a variety of temperature tracking devices out there, it poses the question: how do these new technologies compare in both ease and accuracy?

We've all heard it online and all over social media – that you can only get pregnant during a five or six day window each month, aligning with the presence of your more fertile cervical mucus. But, what if your CM is here to party most of the month? Especially for those of us practicing Fertility Awareness Method (FAM), the risks in not knowing for sure are huge.  In this solo episode, I break down this issue, why such black-and-white advice actually doesn't apply to the incredible range of individuality in the human body, and why the answer – as it always is – is understanding yourself on a deeper level.  We Chat About: Ideal environment for sperm Are you fertile all month if cervical mucus is present?

My guest today, Kitty Blomfeld, is just like so many of us, having gone through a cycle of dieting, binging, and doing things she thought were good for her body (like heavily restrictive practices), but were actively hurting it. Her health and wellness travels brought her to weight training, and then everything changed. Through regimented eating and training routines, Kitty got truly healthy.

Through her work as a scientist, award-winning skincare formulator, and acne expert – and her amazing blog, Honesty For Your Skin – Cheryl Woodman helps women who've tried everything under the sun to treat their acne and still feel stuck at rock bottom.  She joins the show today to teach us about skin care that leads to healthy, happy, clear skin you can feel comfortable and confident in. Who doesn't want that? We break down the science behind it all, how our diets impact our skin (remember: our biggest organ!), and how you can take back control of your skin health without the need for medications which can contribute to other tricky problems in the body. As always, this is a safe space! We're not judging or pouring more negativity on a subject that, while totally superficial, is such a big trigger point for so many women. Tune in as we listen, learn, and heal as a community! We Chat About: Learn what causes acne  How does our diet impact our skin?

My guest today, Lahana Vigliano, is the CEO of Nuvitru Wellness and a board-certified and holistic clinical nutritionist in Austin, TX. She's here to answer all of our questions about stress – where does it come from, how can we reduce it, and what is it really doing in our bodies? She also asks some of her own – teaching us to question our food choices, what's actually in your control, and what isn't? It's time to get honest with ourselves, and shame is not invited to the party. Our bodies are so evolutionarily driven that when stress crops up, we can't distinguish if we're being chased by a lion, or are just stuck in traffic. It's only natural that women's bodies would try to shut down ovulation in times of danger as those would, to our body, seem like a pretty bad time to bring a child into the world – right?! Lahana is wise beyond her years, sharing so many actionable tips in this one that you'll want to grab a notepad. The key though, as she explains, is not letting your brand new anti-stress routine stress you out. Start with what feels natural – try spending time in nature, journaling, or breathwork – and build from there. We Chat About: Lahana's background in medicine  Can you kill it?

Cassy Joy Garcia is a New York Times bestselling author and the creative force behind popular wellness editorial site, Fed + Fit. Her mission is to make cooking more manageable, especially for moms – which is why I am personally so excited to share this one with you. Once she had her first child, Cassy was looking for ways to still eat healthy but take out some of the work from cooking. This led her to develop the “cook once” method for meal prep, a genius time saving concept that she's written about at length. It's not all quick and easy either, she's also committed to making intimidating dishes seem more attainable for the average person cooking at home. Her message is an empowering one, and I can attest to her recipes being both easy to prepare and delicious to eat. Keep an ear out for her cute young kids in the background of this one!

My amazing guest today, Noelle Tarr, is a Nutritional Therapy Practitioner (NTP), an NSCA-Certified Personal Trainer, author, and all-around badass. She's worked in the industry for more than seventeen years and is open to admitting she's made every mistake in the book – which is why she's so dedicated to helping others on their body and overall wellness journeys.  We talk about body image, its role in how we grow up thinking of ourselves, and what dieting culture does and (mostly) does not accomplish. We also learn about the importance of recognizing your season of life and embracing it for a more balanced sense of self – no more living in the black and white areas of life! Most importantly, Noelle teaches us that we must not judge ourselves harshly. Everything we experience is an opportunity to learn, grow, and live in joy. I hope you enjoy this inspiring convo!
