When it comes to reproductive rights, we often think of birth control and abortion -- maybe even IVF in more recent days. But are those things truly the pinnacle of women's health?

This episode explores how a perspective shift on women's empowerment could have the power to change the fertility education, healthcare advocacy, and confidence of generations of women to come. NOTE: This episode may not be appropriate for all audiences; it does use terms like intercourse and references issues like abortion. Other episodes you might enjoy:Ep. 3: BASICS - Reproductive HormonesEp. 120: All About ProgesteroneEp. 156: Using DHEA to naturally increase hormones & fertility, with Laura DucoteSend us a textSupport the showOther great ways to connect with Woven Natural Fertility Care: Learn the Creighton Model System with us!

Happy last Thursday in May! As we round out the end of May, I (Allison) am finishing up the last week of my maternity leave! To celebrate this, we're pulling content from our group coaching calls inside our private coaching group, the Better Belly Blueprint, to share with YOU. Today's topic is from my client Melissa. She asked: "My previous functional medicine provider put me on a supplement for my estrogen dominance about a year ago. Since then, I have been taking I-3-C Plus Dim and Calcium-D-Glucarate everyday. I feel that it has helped me so much with my PMDD symtoms as well as gallbladder symptoms and notice a difference when I miss doses. Do I need to stop taking this for awhile when I do my DUTCH test? Would this skew the results? I can stop taking if needed but don't want to if I don't have to." Melissa's question comes from a desire to not waste money on functional lab testing by getting results that aren't even relevant or trustworthy. Yet, she also doesn't want her symptoms to come BACK by going off a supplement she's found SUPER helpful. What is Melissa to do? If you've ever been in a similar bind of wanting to do a lab test but feeling nervous about going off supplements or medications - then this episode is for you!

In this exclusive sneak peek, Ashleigh shares the first full episode of a new series on Healthy Aging she has developed with friend, Carnivore-ish co-author, wellness writer, and chef Beth Lipton. Over the course of seven episodes they dive deep on topics like beauty, motherhood and pregnancy, relationships, nutrition, mental health, and more, all through the lens of healthy aging for women: what does it mean to age in a healthy way? How do we balance our desire to remain youthful with the inevitability of getting older? Can we find more peace and joy in the way our bodies and priorities shift through life?  The series is honest, real, vulnerable, and created in an effort to create community and share with other women who are no doubt juggling the same questions and uncertainties. There are questions, answers, personal stories, and laughs as they learn. These are just a few of the questions the women dive into, starting with this first episode on fitness, which covers the ladies' thoughts on: what they learned about wellness and fitness from their own mothers; whether or not fitness HAS to change as we age, and if so, how; their own personal journies through various forms of fitness, and more. The full Healthy Aging Series will be published on Ashleigh's YouTube channel, which you can find and subscribe to here: https://www.youtube.com/@musclemaven  If you have any feedback, questions or comments, send them to musclescience4women@gmail.com.

What if everything you've been told about menopause and metabolism has been fundamentally wrong? In this eye-opening conversation with Dr. Sam Graber, we challenge the "linear path" narrative that has been sold to women for generations and explore how our metabolic health forms the foundation for navigating menopause with greater ease.Dr. Sam doesn't pull any punches as she explains why the medical system isn't designed to guide you toward optimal health—only to identify disease. "I don't recommend going to your doctor to learn about health," she candidly states, offering instead a framework for understanding how your body actually works. We dive deep into the metabolic underpinnings of women's health, exploring how insulin resistance, stress hormones, and nutritional choices directly impact your menopause experience.The conversation takes a powerful turn when we address how Gen X women (now all in perimenopause or menopause) were completely unprepared for this transition. We discuss how to bridge this knowledge gap for younger generations while providing practical guidance for women of all ages to understand their unique metabolic needs. Dr. Sam offers clear, actionable advice on nutrition priorities, starting with quality protein and health-supporting fats, while warning against the "pill for every ill" mentality that has dominated women's healthcare.Perhaps most empowering is Dr. Sam's call for personal sovereignty over your health journey: "No one's coming to save you—that's the good news and the bad news." Every food choice, every lifestyle decision either builds your health or moves you toward dysfunction. The choice, as Dr. Sam reminds us, is entirely yours—and you can step into the driver's seat at any moment, regardless of your past choices or current health status.Curious about taking control of your metabolic health during menopause? Listen now and discover why the most powerful lever you can pull is what—and when—you eat. Your body is talking. Are you ready to listen?Find Mia On Social Media ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠here⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠.

In this episode of the Grace & Grit podcast, we explore the evolving landscape of wellness strategies, focusing on how pharmaceutical supports can be integrated into a holistic approach to health for midlife wellness. We discuss the importance of maintaining fundamental wellness practices while considering medical interventions as complementary tools rather than replacements. Key Points from this Episode: Understanding the role of pharmaceutical supports, including hormone therapy, weight management medications, and prescribed supplements in modern wellness The critical importance of maintaining fundamental health practices like hydration, sleep, nutrition, mindset, and movement Why taking an integrated approach (combining medical interventions with basic wellness practices) leads to better outcomes This episode emphasizes that while modern medical interventions can be valuable tools in our wellness journey, they work best when built upon a strong foundation of basic health practices. The message is clear: it's not about choosing between medical supports and fundamentals – it's about thoughtfully combining both for optimal results.

Dr. Prather previews his upcoming free Holistic Integration educational seminar this Wednesday, April 30th at 6 p.m.  In this episode, we talk about:—The first two things in our body that Dr. Prather always says you need to get fixed if you want to get healthy.   —How your hormones determine your weight, your mood, your overall health and well-being, and how well you age.  And how hormone imbalance can even impact your sleep and can cause insomnia. —The reason women have far more complex hormones to balance for mood compared to men, who are "simple creatures".—Why Dr. Prather says that doctors "aren't smart enough" to regulate all of the hormones of the body.  And the Structure-Function approach he uses to help the BODY to be the hero and balance the hormones itself.—The Testosterone levels men should have in order to function.  And why men with low Testosterone usually have to be brought into a doctor's office by someone else for help because they have "crashed" and don't have the motivation to come in themselves. —Why Dr. Prather says that "beauty is the result of a good Hormonal system".  And how women are attracted to different types of men based upon where they are at in their monthly cycle. —The Herbals, Glandulars, Vitamins, Minerals, and Homeopathics that can help to naturally balance Hormones.  And why Dr. Prather says that only 2% of the time should patients actually be given prescription Hormones. —How the Atlas Orthogonal Chiropractic Adjustment at Holistic Integration is "the number one thing" when it comes to balancing out the Endocrine System. —Why Acupuncture is helpful for stimulating healing of your Hormone system, including the relief of excruciating pain from cystic ovaries within minutes.—How you can ask Dr. Prather questions and receive 20% off of our thorough Hormone test by attending Dr. Prather's free seminar this Wednesday night, either in person or on ZOOM.http://www.TheVoiceOfHealthRadio.com

Are you navigating perimenopause or menopause while also managing chronic health conditions? Or perhaps perimenopause has triggered an underlying, previously dormant issue? Traditional healthcare may not be enough to combat the symptoms, but do not fear! Today's guest is here to teach us how your nervous system, immune system, and hormones can all work together to support healing and longevity. This week, host Jenn Trepeck is joined by Dr. Jessica Drummond, Founder and CEO of The Integrative Women's Health Institute. Together, they explore how seemingly “silent” chronic conditions like endometriosis, pelvic pain, autoimmune disorders or even long covid, can complicate menopause—and what you can do about it. Dr. Drummond shares her insights on calming the nervous system, building metabolic health through nutrient-dense habits, and using tools like heart rate variability (HRV) to guide recovery. The Salad With a Side of Fries podcast is hosted by Jenn Trepeck, who discusses wellness and weight loss for real life, clearing up the myths, misinformation, bad science & marketing surrounding our nutrition knowledge and the food industry. Let's dive into wellness and weight loss for real life, including drinking, eating out, and skipping the grocery store. IN THIS EPISODE: (00:00) The impact of menopause on silent chronic conditions(05:44) Dr. Jessica Drummond reflects on her professional journey in the chronic condition space(11:11) Common underlying chronic conditions affecting menopause(16:08) Discussion of the silent underlying conditions that can manifest later in life(25:43) Calming the nervous system to heal in a consistent way(30:50) The importance of your metabolic health in the form of nutrient-dense food, strength training, walking, hydration and circadian rhythm(32:09) Discussion of heart rate variability, recovery, and developing the art of sitting quietly(41:36) The importance of working with a health coach to plan for the future of your healthKEY TAKEAWAYS:Menopause and perimenopause symptoms can be overwhelming on their own. Still, when layered on top of chronic conditions like endometriosis, pelvic pain, autoimmune disorders, or post-viral syndromes (e.g., long COVID), it creates a compounded health challenge. Traditional training often overlooks the role of nutrition, nervous system regulation, and lifestyle in healing. Chronic conditions—especially during perimenopause—require a personalized, holistic strategy.Healing during menopause doesn't require drastic changes—small, consistent steps matter most. Start where it feels easiest, like mindfulness, nutrition, or gentle movement. Recovery and nervous system regulation are just as important as action. Tools like heart rate variability (HRV) can help track progress, showing that true resilience comes from balancing effort with rest.Integrating the nervous, immune, and hormone systems is the key to living a longer, more active, healthier life. When these systems are balanced and working together, they support overall well-being and longevity.QUOTES:         (10:04) “In my traditional physical therapy training, nutrition was not emphasized as a healing tool. It was more like you needed adequate nutrients to perform certain physical activities, but we didn't think about it from an anti-inflammatory standpoint.” - Dr. Jessica Drummond(13:59) “Research shows us that acute illnesses like infections trigger chronic diseases.” - Dr. Jessica Drummond(22:36) “It's exposing these underlying things that have been lying dormant, that we just brushed aside or pushed through because they weren't really standing in the way of us doing the things that we wanted to do.”  - Jenn Trepeck(40:19) “I think we make these plans expecting perfection, planning for this optimal, ideal day that never happens. So put these things in place so they happen even on the days where we don't feel a hundred percent, even on the days where nothing goes as planned.” - Jenn TrepeckRESOURCES:Become A Member of Salad with a Side of FriesJenn's Free Menu PlanA Salad With a Side of FriesA Salad With A Side Of Fries MerchA Salad With a Side of Fries InstagramUse Your Heart Rate Monitor to Improve Your Health                GUEST RESOURCES:The Integrative Women's Health InstituteIntegrative Women's Health  - Podcast Integrative Women's Health - PubMedInnovative Approaches to Chronic Pain with The Anodunos Method TeamGUEST BIOGRAPHY:Dr. Jessica Drummond, DCN, CNS, PT, NBC-HWC, is a leading expert in women's health and the Founder and CEO of The Integrative Women's Health Institute.

The world of women's sports is experiencing unprecedented growth, attention, recognition, and investment. Elite athletes including Simone Biles, Caitlin Clark, Serena Williams, and many others are having a significant impact on culture, and more women than ever are participating in both professional and recreational sports. Earlier this year, Russ sat down with Dr. Emily Kraus to talk about the future of female athletic health and we're re-running the episode today. She shared a number of key differences between women and men in sport, and illuminates that these differences are vastly understudied, though she's working to close that gap. This is an episode we shared with a number of athletes we know, and we hope you'll do the same.Have a question for Russ?

Let's face it - most women struggle with their weight and we've been programmed to think it's harder to get the weight off after a certain age so the process can feel hopeless. But what if there are clues as to why the weight is hanging around that lie in your relationship with food? In this episode, Ashley Fillmore and Dr. Jannine Krause dive into why declining estrogen can trigger carb cravings and binges that may be new behavior for women over 40, or why it brings up old habits you thought you'd let go of. We discuss the frustrating cycle of binge, detox, diet and repeat - failure after failure. We explore food shame and why we keep repeating habits like diving into chips or finding ourselves with chocolate and peanut butter at certain times of the day.

Why does it feel like no matter how many wellness trends we follow—clean eating, intense workouts, meditation… we're still exhausted, moody, or stuck in a cycle of burnout?In this episode of Rooted in Wellness, I sit down with Alisa Vitti, a hormone expert, best-selling author, and pioneer in the field of cycle syncing, to uncover what most women are missing when it comes to energy, metabolism, and overall health.We break down the real reason so many women struggle with PMS, cravings, fatigue, and anxiety, and why the problem isn't your willpower, but rather how you're working against your body's natural rhythms. Alisa explains how our infradian rhythm (our monthly cycle) influences brain function, metabolism, and stress response—and how small shifts in our diet, workouts, and daily habits can transform our energy, productivity, and long-term health.Alisa Vitti is a functional nutritionist, women's hormone expert, and founder of Flo Living, a digital platform dedicated to hormonal health.

Could your phone really be increasing your risk of breast cancer?In this eye-opening episode, I sit down with investigative health journalist Nick Pineault—known as The EMF Guy—to expose one of the most overlooked threats to women's health: electromagnetic fields (EMFs). From cell phones to smart homes, radiation is everywhere—and few are talking about how it affects your hormones, your sleep, and potentially, your risk of breast cancer.Nick's passion for uncovering environmental toxins began when his own mother was diagnosed with breast cancer. What he discovered about EMFs led him to write one of the most approachable guides on the subject—and today, he's breaking it all down for us.

Perimenopause isn't just about hot flashes and mood swings—it's a full-body shift that impacts your brain, metabolism, heart health, and more. In this episode, Dr. Mariza Snyder breaks down the real science behind hormonal changes, why stress makes everything worse, and how to take control of your health before symptoms spiral. We dive into the connection between estradiol, cardiovascular health, and migraines, plus why metabolic flexibility and proactive hormone therapy are key to thriving through perimenopause and menopause. Mariza also shares why tracking symptoms, lab results, and lifestyle habits is crucial for navigating this transition, and she gives a sneak peek into her new book filled with game-changing resources for women.

Personal development is supposed to help you grow, but what if it's actually keeping you stuck? In this episode, we break down the hidden traps of self-improvement—where growth turns into self-sabotage—and how to move forward. What We Cover: The “I Need More Information” Trap – Learning without action isn't progress. Execution is where real growth happens. Perfectionism Paralysis – Waiting for the “perfect” moment? It doesn't exist. Progress beats perfection every time. The “Healing” Excuse – Self-work is valuable, but don't use it as an excuse to avoid discomfort and real-world action. Chasing Motivation Instead of Discipline – Motivation fades. If you don't build habits, you'll stay stuck. Hustle vs. Inner Work Conflict – Too much grinding leads to burnout, too much “inner work” leads to inaction. Balance is key. The “I'm So Different” Syndrome – Overcomplicating your struggles keeps you from progress. Success leaves clues—follow them. How to Actually Use Personal Development the Right Way: Learn, but apply immediately. Take imperfect action—don't wait for the right moment. Be self-aware, but don't get stuck in endless healing. Stop chasing motivation—focus on habits. Balance hustle with self-reflection. This episode is all about breaking free from the self-improvement cycle that keeps you stuck and actually making progress. If this resonates, share it with someone who needs to hear it.
