Podcasts about hormone health

A concerning amount of studies and data have come out recently to show the presence of micro-plastics in testicles. How big of a deal is this issue? In today's episode, I'm going to breakdown a few recent studies on the topic, explain how to minimize your exposure to these items in question and what to be weary of, and whether or not this is major issue. Topics include: - Hormone Health and Fertility- New Surprising Study on Micro-Plastics in Testicles- Implications Of These Studies- Items To Be Weary Of- Minimizing Our Exposure---------- ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠My Live Program for Coaches: The Functional Nutrition and Metabolism Specialization ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠www.metabolismschool.com⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠---------- [Free] Metabolism School 101: The Video Series⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠http://www.metabolismschool.com/metabolism-101⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠----------Subscribe to My Youtube Channel: ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠https://youtube.com/@sammillerscience?si=s1jcR6Im4GDHbw_1⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠----------⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Grab a Copy of My New Book - Metabolism Made Simple⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠---------- Stay Connected: ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Instagram: @sammillerscience⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Youtube: SamMillerScience⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Facebook: The Nutrition Coaching Collaborative Community⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠TikTok: @sammillerscience⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠----------“This Podcast is for general informational purposes only and does not constitute the practice of medicine, nursing or other professional health care services, including the giving of medical advice, and no doctor/patient relationship is formed.

If you've ever been told your gut is “fine” but you still feel bloated, inflamed, exhausted, or stuck, this episode will change the way you look at your health. In today's episode, I break down what a GI Map actually is and why I use it as the starting point for almost every woman I work with. I explain the critical difference between what a traditional GI doctor looks for and what a GI Map is designed to uncover.  While medical doctors are trained to find disease, this type of testing looks for dysfunction, the subtle imbalances that quietly sabotage your energy, hormones, digestion, and metabolism. I walk you through what the test measures, including bacteria, yeast, parasites, inflammation, leaky gut markers, and detox capacity.  You'll learn why so many women get “normal” test results at the doctor's office but still feel anything but normal in their bodies. I share why skipping the gut and jumping straight into hormone work often leads to stalled progress and frustration. I also break down how we use GI Map results to create custom gut-healing protocols that go far beyond random supplements.  We talk through the real-life signs that your gut might be your missing piece even if you don't have obvious digestive issues. I explain why this test alone isn't enough and how coaching and real-time adjustments are what make the process actually work.  If you've been doing “all the right things” and still feel off, this episode will connect the dots for you. By the end, you'll understand whether a GI Map might be the next step in your healing journey and why guessing is no longer necessary. If you're ready for clarity instead of trial and error, this episode is for you.  Time Stamps: (1:21) Home Ownership(4:40) GI Map's(6:32) Disease vs Dysfunction(9:50) What Is A GI Map?(12:27) Where We Start Our Vital Spark Clients(15:40) Your House Is On Fire(20:07) Episode 206 and 207(21:58) Would You Benefit From A GI Map?(29:47) What Happens After The GI Map---------------------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?

In this Ask Me Anything episode of Midlife Revival, Dr. Taniqua Miller breaks down one of the most talked-about supplements in the menopause and fitness world: creatine. Is it really the secret to energy, muscle tone, and strength in midlife—or just another overhyped trend?As a certified menopause specialist and OB/GYN who's seen wellness fads come and go, Dr. T brings a grounded, evidence-based perspective to help you understand what creatine is, how it works, and when it actually helps women in midlife. Spoiler: it's not for everyone, and timing matters.

Absolutely no one warned us that midlife would be this loud—hot flashes, achy joints, bone density, belly fat, all competing for attention at once. And yet the message women still get is, “This is just how it is.”In this episode, I'm joined by orthopedic sports surgeon and longevity visionary Dr. Vonda Wright, author of Unbreakable: A Woman's Guide to Aging with Power. We dig into what it really takes to stay strong, mobile, and independent for decades—so you can carry your own groceries at 80 and stay out of the nursing home.We cover:Why bones are an endocrine organ (yes, your skeleton is talking to the rest of your body)The truth about osteoporosis, fracture risk, and why waiting until 65 for a DEXA is a terrible strategyHow to safely use impact, heavy lifting, and sprint intervals even if you've been told to “be careful”The role of estrogen, testosterone, and vitamin D in bone and muscle healthProtein, leucine, vegan vs animal sources—and why under-proteining is keeping you weak and inflamedWeighted vests, jumping, Pilates and yoga: what actually moves the needle for strength and longevityIf you're a woman in perimenopause, menopause, or beyond—and you want denser bones, stronger muscles, better balance, and a body that can keep up with the life you want—this conversation is your blueprint.

In this episode of What's Next, Kelli McVay talks with Kristin Wierenga, a top industry leader, mom, and farm-loving entrepreneur who chose to begin again with Hugh & Grace. Kristin shares why this mission felt right, what drew her to the community, and how this model creates real impact — for your family, your friends, and the people you lead. If you're curious about the Hugh & Grace opportunity or looking for inspiration to start fresh, this is the perfect place to begin.Find us at hughandgrace.com  On Instagram @hughandgrace       On Facebook @HughandGrace   Email us at customercare@hughandgrace.com Music: Realize your dreams by Sergio Prosvirini

In this episode of the Provider Series, CEO Tylar Brannon sits down with Irene Burns, PA, from our Pinehurst office, to unpack one of the most misunderstood hormones: cortisol. Cortisol isn't the “bad hormone” social media makes it out to be. It's actually essential for energy, immunity, and brain function. But when it stays elevated for too long due to chronic stress, poor sleep, under-eating, blue light, nutrient deficiencies, or hormonal imbalance, it can contribute to inflammation, anxiety, brain fog, weight gain, and insulin resistance. Tylar and Irene break down why cortisol is necessary for life, how chronic stress disrupts thyroid and testosterone production, and why symptoms like fatigue, brain fog, and lack of motivation are often hormone-related. They also discuss how testosterone calms the nervous system and supports cortisol regulation, as well as simple lifestyle habits that naturally help reset cortisol. If you've been feeling “tired and wired,” inflamed, or unable to focus, this episode will help you understand what's going on inside your body, and what steps can help you restore balance. Ready to feel like yourself again?


If you woke up extra puffy, bloated, or sluggish after Thanksgiving, you're not alone. Today I'm walking you through the exact protocol I'd use to feel normal again fast. In this episode, I break down a simple A.M., P.M. routine designed to calm inflammation, support lymphatic flow, reset your circadian rhythm, and get your digestion back on track.  We start with a morning lineup that helps your body de-bloat naturally: dandelion and peppermint tea, sunrise exposure, gentle lymphatic drainage, and a cold plunge or face dunk to clear the fog. I'll share why “easy-to-digest” meals like eggs, fruit, ground turkey, and white rice speed up recovery after a heavier holiday meal.  You'll also learn how hydration, electrolytes, sauna sessions, and strategic walking across the day work together to flush excess water retention. I walk you through small daytime habits that make a huge difference including stress management tools that actually matter when you're feeling self-conscious or uncomfortable in your body.  Then we close with a powerful P.M. routine designed to optimize digestion, calm cortisol, improve sleep quality, and support your lymphatic system while you rest. From early dinners to legs-up-the-wall breathing, these are the tools that help you feel lighter, clearer, and more grounded within 24–48 hours. If you want a gentle, supportive, and science-backed plan to ditch bloat and puffiness quickly, without punishing yourself, this episode is your reset guide. Let's get you feeling like you again. Time Stamps: (2:20) Gender Prediction (5:22) Waking Up Feeling Thick (8:37) The Big 6 For Lymphatic Drainage (13:02) Meals Across The Day (17:30) Sauna Usage (22:12) Early Dinner (25:06) Something Is Better Than Nothing---------------------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?

If you're on a fat loss journey or working on hormone health, taking more supplements does not always mean better results.   In fact, over-supplementing can stall fat loss, disrupt hormones, interfere with medications, and even make you feel worse.   In this episode, I break down:   • How many supplements is too many • The most common signs you're over-supplementing • Why supplements can compete for absorption • How certain combinations can cancel each other out • Why more money spent does not equal better results • What symptoms like nausea, fatigue, brain fog, and sleep issues really mean • How I customize supplement protocols instead of using one-size-fits-all advice   You'll also learn why your nutrition, sleep, caffeine intake, and hormone profile all matter before choosing supplements — and why random TikTok recommendations often backfire.   This episode is perfect for: ✔ Women focused on fat loss ✔ Menopause and perimenopause support ✔ Insulin resistance and thyroid health ✔ Anyone feeling overwhelmed by supplements

From Nursing To Holistic HealingWhat if true healing begins in the “soil” of your life, not at the surface of your symptoms? Kelly sits down with Rachael, a former RN turned holistic health practitioner and author, to trace a winding path through young motherhood, nursing on the front lines, and the moment she realized her patients needed root-cause care that honored body, mind, and spirit. The stories are vivid and practical: a patient thriving on a simple regimen only to be steered back to what wasn't working, the “tree and soil” model that reframes Western vs holistic care, and the quiet confidence of building a business around school drop-offs, field trips, and family dinners.We get specific about the daily levers that change your health trajectory—morning routines that set your cortisol awakening response, how cooking at home jump-starts digestion in ways restaurants can't, and why coffee often masks fatigue rather than fixes it. Rachael explains cravings through the lens of acid-alkaline balance and shares a realistic philosophy: remove irritants fully for a season to reset, then reintroduce with quality, frequency, and sourcing in mind. Along the way, she shows how trauma unwinds when the nervous system shifts from constant “go” into “rest, digest, and heal,” and how simple practices—breath, grounding, sound—find deep roots in scripture.Faith threads through everything here. From David's harp to daily prayer, Rachael describes a practice where science catches up to scripture and healing becomes possible when the spirit is invited to lead. We also talk about marriage and parenting: communicating roles, honoring different decision styles, modeling entrepreneurship for kids, and the unmistakable joy of becoming “Gamma” while staying devoted to meaningful work. She and her husband are now building a new ministry focused on health, marriage, and finances—proof that slow, values-first growth can still create bold futures.If this conversation challenged your view of “normal” health or sparked a shift in your routines, share it with a friend, subscribe for more, and leave a quick review to help others find the show.

If your energy, mood, weight, or cycle feels off, your hormones are already trying to tell you why. In today's episode, I'm breaking down something that feels confusing for so many women: hormones.  Most of us only hear about hormones when something starts going wrong — our energy crashes, our cycles change, our thyroid acts up, or our weight stops responding the way it used to. And because it feels overwhelming, we try to fix the surface symptoms without ever understanding the deeper systems underneath.  So today, I want to simplify things and give you a clear, foundational understanding of how your hormones actually work. I'm walking you through the four major hormone categories that control your metabolism, your mood, your energy, your cycle, and so much of how your body feels day-to-day.  You'll learn what each category does, how they interact, and why an imbalance in one usually creates a domino effect in the others. I'm also going to show you what it looks like when each system is out of sync, so you can start recognizing your body's signals instead of feeling confused by them.  Most importantly, I'll give you practical places to start if you want to support your hormones in a realistic, sustainable way. No complicated protocols — just simple patterns that immediately reduce stress on your system.  By the end of this episode, you'll understand your hormones on a deeper level and feel more equipped to advocate for your own health.  This is your crash course in hormone health. Time Stamps: (2:12) Gratitude(4:42) Strong Foundation For Hormone Knowledge(9:42) Disease vs Dysfunction with Labwork(12:52) The 4 Categories of Hormones(17:32) Sex Hormones(22:52) Energy Hormones(27:58) Stress Hormones(31:32) How Hormone Systems Affect One Another(39:02) Morning Sunlight---------------------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?

She explains the benefits of keeping an IUD during midlife, the importance of estrogen for vaginal health, and how to navigate hormone levels effectively.The episode also touches on the significance of pelvic floor therapy, and encourages women to seek help and not to feel embarrassed about their health concerns, reinforcing that there is no shame in asking questions.As the episode wraps up, Amy and Melissa engage in a fun myth or fact segment, tackling common misconceptions about women's health, including the impact of wearing leggings on yeast infections.Join us for this enlightening and entertaining episode as we break down barriers and foster a community where women's health is discussed openly and honestly.

Send us a textToday, I'm diving into something most clinicians barely touch on: how SSRIs can quietly drain key nutrients—and exactly how to refill them with delicious, effective, real-food strategies that help to make a difference.Many women don't realize that antidepressants (SSRIs) can deplete key nutrients needed for hormone balance, energy production, and stable mood. In this episode, we break down the most common SSRI-related nutrient deficiencies—like B-vitamins, magnesium, and CoQ10—why they matter for metabolic and hormonal health, and how to restore them through targeted nutrition and lifestyle strategies. Tune in for a clear, elevated guide to supporting your body and optimizing wellness while on antidepressant medication. ---The information in this podcast is not intended or implied to be a substitute for professional medical advice, diagnosis, or treatment.Support the showDive Deeper On Your Journey: ☆ Work 1:1 on your nutrition goals with Selin here! ☆ Let's connect on Instagram!☆ Read The Painless Period Guide☆ Purchase the gorgeous Goddess Affirmation Colouring book here.

If slowing down feels wrong but your body is begging for rest, this episode is for you. In this episode, I'm talking to the woman who has always been the go-hard achiever — the early workouts, the hustle, the I-don't-need-rest mindset.  But now your body feels like it's pushing back, and slowing down feels uncomfortable or even scary. I've been there, and I want to help you make sense of what your body is trying to say. Instead of guessing or feeling guilty,  I'm giving you a simple, practical five-question check-in to help you know whether your body needs rest or whether gentle movement will actually make you feel better. Because in a healing season, both rest and movement are powerful — it's just about choosing the right one for the day you're in.  You'll learn why the signals you're feeling are a sign of recovery, not failure. I'll walk you through what this looks like in different phases of healing — from burnout, to rebuilding, to thriving again. We'll also talk about the mental side of this: letting go of the belief that discipline only counts when you push harder.  Resting doesn't make you weak. It makes you wiser. And the more you listen to your body, the faster your energy, hormones, and confidence return.  By the end of this episode, you'll have a tool you can use anytime you're unsure of what your body needs. This is how you build trust with yourself again — one decision at a time. So take a breath, tune in, and let's help your body feel safe and strong again.  Time Stamps: (1:17) Mood Lighting(2:02) Pulling Back From Exercise(5:47) Movement and Discipline(8:14) Your Hormones Are Recalibrating(9:59) #1: How Did I Sleep Last Night?(11:57) If You're Averaging 5-6 Hours of Sleep A Night(13:12) #2: My Stress Level From 1-10(14:32) #3: How Does My Body Feel Physically?(16:00) #4: What's My Emotional State?(17:41) #5: How Do I Think I'll Feel After?(21:56) Save This One For The Future---------------------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?

In today's episode, Gina shares her wisdom surrounding the topic of menopause, perimenopause and how these times can bring with them substantial shifts in women's nervous systems.

As we explore this vital subject, I emphasize the uniqueness of each individual's journey through hormonal shifts, whether during perimenopause, menopause, or even monthly cycles. Recognizing the natural ebb and flow of hormonal changes, I reassure listeners that they are not "broken" or "losing it"—rather, their bodies are in a transformative phase, prompting a deeper understanding and connection to self.I lay the foundation by discussing the physiological impacts of fluctuating hormone levels and outline how these changes can manifest as various emotional and physical sensations. The transition can trigger new feelings of anxiety, identity crises, and insights into how one's life roles have evolved. It's essential to approach these transitions with curiosity, as understanding the interplay between hormones, stress, and emotional well-being can empower women during this compelling time.Commencing with an intimate exploration of the effects of estrogen and progesterone, I highlight how these hormones influence mood and anxiety levels. Listeners are encouraged to recognize that increased anxiety during these transitions is not a sign of weakness but rather a normal physiological response. I present practical strategies for self-care, including breathing techniques and grounding exercises, to help ease anxiety and cultivate a nurturing relationship with oneself. By advocating for slow exhale breathing, comforting mantras, and gentle physical practices, I offer tools that can aid women in navigating this sensitive phase with grace.#Perimenopause, #Menopause, #MidlifeAnxiety, #HormonalAnxiety, #WomensHealth, #TheChangeOfLife, #AnxietyRelief, #MidlifeTransition, #Recalibration, #IdentityShift, #Estrogen, #Progesterone, #NervousSystem, #StressManagement, #PrioritizeSleep, #SelfCare, #SetBoundaries, #GABA, #SlowExhale, #YouAreNotBroken, #GinaRyan, #AnxietyCoachesPodcast, #ChristianeNorthrup, #FemininePower, #NotLosingIt, #AnxietySupport, #MentalWellness, #StressRelief, #MindBodyConnection, #LifeTransitions, #SelfCompassion, #NervousSystemRegulation, #EmotionalHealth, #HealthJourney, #PersonalGrowth, #SelfHelp, #InnerPeace, #Midlife, #HormoneHealth, #WellbeingJourney, #DeepBreathing, #GroundingTechniques, #MentalClarity, #Recalibration, #ItsOkayToStruggle, #FindingYourCenter, #PodcastForAnxiety, #AuthenticSelf, #ChangingRhythms #ACPSee Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

Hormone Health and HRT: Understanding the Truth Beyond Myths of Menopause with guest expert Dr. Sarah DacarrettThere is way too much confusion and misinformation circling around menopause right now. So, this episode cuts through the noise and gets you the answers you need. Right now.Hormones affect everything—your mood, sleep, energy, and more. And during menopause, things can get a little... wild.There's a lot of noise out there when it comes to Hormone Replacement Therapy (HRT), and not all of it is trueIn this episode, you will learn:Impact of the 2002 Women's Health Initiative (WHI) study on HRT perceptionsMisconceptions about HRT causing breast cancer—what science actually saysWhy early hormone health education is crucial before menopauseHormones as master regulators of overall health and agingWhen and why women should discuss HRT seriously with their doctorsHRT benefits for women undergoing menopause and perimenopauseSafety and use of vaginal suppository HRT for breast cancer survivorsSystemic nature of vaginal hormone delivery and its implicationsComparing patches, oral pills, and vaginal HRT: risks and benefitsBalancing risk versus benefit in hormonal treatments like birth controlThe concept of “post birth control syndrome” and its health impactsThe importance of patient informed consent and understanding treatment trade-offsRole of the breasts and uterus in hormone metabolism, beyond the liverIodine's role in hormone metabolism and managing breast and menstrual symptomsModern iodine deficiency compared to ancestral diets and its health consequences… And much more!ABOUT OUR GUEST EXPERT: Dr. Sarah Daccarett is dedicated to ensuring your symptoms are no longer mis-diagnosed or ignored.Dr. Dacarrett says, “In my mid-thirties after the birth of my son, my hormone levels never recovered.After trying every available product, I realized there were NO solutions specifically to meet the needs of younger women who want to feel young and vibrant again.I invented the Inner Balance protocol and Oestra because I needed it. I also realized that I wasn't alone - that hormone levels decline drastically in our 30s - NOT when our period stops in our 50s like we have been told.Women every day suffer from endometriosis, PCOS, postpartum depression, effects of birth control, hair loss, depression, fatigue, and a whole host of health problems due to low estrogen and progesterone.They are mis-diagnosed, mis-treated, or blown off as "just a part of being a woman", "just a part of aging", "you're too young", "you are normal," or even worse "you're just crazy."Meanwhile advancement in men's and transgender hormone replacement therapy is a decade ahead of women's. We think this is unacceptable, antiquated and marginalization of women.Women no longer have to settle for "normal" but rather they can feel exceptional - always."WEBSITE: https://www.innerbalance.com/INSTAGRAM: @sarahdaccarettmd****************************************SAY "NO MORE" TO TOXIC LAUNDRY - BUT YES TO FRESH SCENT WITHOUT HARMIt shocked me that our laundry rooms are often one of the most toxic places in our homes.After breast cancer, I began changing out my personal care and beauty but didn't even think about my cleaning supplies.For laundry, I found a few brands that are really clean and free of harmful ingredients, but still searched for that fresh scent without the toxic junk. Found it...

We all want the dream body, but almost none of us want to slow down long enough to build the base it actually requires. In today's episode, I'm sharing one of the most important lessons I've learned as both a coach and a client: you can't build a strong, sustainable body without a strong foundation.  I use the analogy of building a dream home because just like a house needs a solid foundation before the walls go up, your body needs metabolic stability and healthy habits before you layer on intense training or dieting.  Most of us try to skip this part because we're in a hurry to see results.  I get it. I used to be the impatient one who wanted the plan, the strategy, and the visible progress right away. But rushing your transformation is the fastest way to end up starting over again and again.  In this episode, I break down what the “foundation phase” actually looks like, including how we assess metabolism using SHREDS and why stabilizing sleep, hunger cues, digestion, energy, stress, and recovery is non-negotiable.  I share why this phase can feel slow and why that slow work is what makes everything that comes after actually stick. I also walk through the three phases of a healthy nutrition journey and how to know which phase you're truly ready for.  This is about building a body that can handle real life. Vacations, busy seasons, holidays, stress, and everything in between. When your foundation is strong, you don't fall apart when your routine changes. You adapt and you bounce back.  If you've been feeling frustrated with slow progress, this episode may be the reframe you needed. Take a breath — you might just be pouring the concrete.  Time Stamps: (2:57) Next Stage of Homeownership (4:34) Building The Foundation (7:27) When I First Started My Fitness Journey (12:42) The Metabolic Assessment (19:42) Building The Walls Next (20:27) Vital Spark's 3 Phases (28:02) Please Share and Review---------------------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?

Part 2: Wondering why you still feel off even when labs say “normal”? Discover how functional medicine looks deeper at thyroid and hormone health to help you feel your best.   What you'll learn in this episode: The difference between conventional and functional thyroid testing How stress and nutrient deficiencies impact hormone balance Practical ways to support metabolism, energy, and overall wellness Why self-advocacy is key to getting the care you deserve Mentioned in this episode:

In this inspiring episode of Confidently Balance Your Hormones, Functional Health Practitioner Dee Davidson sits down with her client Jayne, a vibrant, health-conscious woman who seemed to be doing everything right — clean eating, regular workouts, and all the “healthy habits” you'd expect.Yet behind the scenes, Jayne was running on empty — exhausted, moody, and frustrated that her doctors kept telling her, “Everything looks fine.”Together, Dee and Jayne unpack how functional lab testing revealed what traditional labs had missed: mineral imbalances, adrenal fatigue, and stress patterns that were quietly draining Jayne's energy. Through targeted nutrition, mineral support, and lifestyle shifts, Jayne discovered that “normal” doesn't always mean optimal — and that true wellness starts when you finally listen to what your body is trying to say.If you've ever felt dismissed by “normal” results but know something deeper is off, this episode will empower you to dig deeper and reclaim your vitality — one insight at a time.Ready to explore your own functional lab journey?Book a session with Dee here → https://calendly.com/confidentlyloveyourselfConnect with Dee on Instagram for daily hormone, gut, and mineral tips → HereDisclaimerThe information shared in this podcast is for educational and informational purposes only and is not intended to diagnose, treat, cure, or prevent any disease.

We are pregnant!  In today's special episode, we want to dive into our fertility story, how we planned for this season, and what shifted in our hearts and lives leading up to trying.  I open up about her early fears around motherhood, how family jokes once shaped her identity, and the moment she knew Omar would be an incredible father. We talk about praying for guidance, timing, and acceptance — and how those prayers brought a deep sense of peace. We also want to share the unexpected way this journey began: a planned fast interrupted by getting sick, a wedding we stayed home from, and Vanessa's Oura Ring signaling that something was different. You'll hear the story of the very earlypregnancy test, how she surprised Omar at the airport, and his reaction when we took another test at home just to be sure. From the beginning, we made the intentional choice to tell our community and loved ones right away, so we could walk through this experience with the people we care about, not in secrecy or fear.  I want to talk through the supplements I'm taking, the changes in my energy, and what nutrition and movement look like right now — including six smaller meals, simple foods, ginger and peppermint tea, and keeping 10k steps and workouts while paying close attention to my body's signals.  And yes… the Mexican flavor cravings are very real. We're honored to share this part of our story with you. If pregnancy, family planning, or listening to others' journeys has ever brought up emotions for you — we see you, and this episode is shared with so much love and compassion. Time Stamps: (1:19) We Are Expecting!(3:47) Some Beginning Context(6:32) Health Issues In May(7:44) My Faith and Motherhood(15:36) Vanessa's Health Tracking(16:42) The Fertility Journey(26:14) The First Pregnancy Test(32:32) Prenatal Supplements(36:22) Current Nutrition Protocol(41:20) Craving Mexican Flavors---------------------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?

Kiki Said So and Medinah Monroe are back for part two of their extended catch-up episode — and this time they're tackling why so many women are accepting the bare minimum in dating, health, and life.

Plus, the “Weird Sex” story of the week will leave you in disbelief (hint: it involves an ER visit and a butt plug).Detailed Show NotesSubtitle: From Low Vitamin D to Low Standards — Time to Raise BothTopics Covered
