In this episode, Audrey sits down with registered dietitian and founder of Nourished by Taylor, Taylor Lechner, to talk about what really happens when you've been on birth control for 10+ years and decide you're done. They get into why so many women lose their period, come off the pill, and suddenly have acne, anxiety, mood swings, gut issues, or no ovulation — and why it's not just “your hormones being crazy.” Taylor breaks down post–birth control syndrome, the labs she runs (HTMA, gut, minerals, thyroid), how copper and mineral depletion play into PMS and anxiety, and why testing > guessing. If you're thinking about coming off the pill/implant/IUD — whether or not you want to get pregnant — this is the one to listen to.Connect with Taylor:Taylor has a free gift for you all!!! :  Breakup with Birth Control MasterclassIG: nourishedbytayWebsite: https://nourished-by-taylor.com/Taylor Lechner, MFN, RD, LD, is a Registered Dietitian and founder of Nourished by Taylor.

“They say it takes a village to raise a child. I really think it takes a village to treat a patient,” says Dr. Lanae Mullane, a naturopathic doctor and clinical strategist who has spent years at the forefront of bridging functional medicine, nutraceutical development, and digital health. In this episode of Raise the Line, host Lindsey Smith explores Dr. Mullane's view that naturopathic medicine complements conventional care by expanding -- not replacing -- the clinical toolkit, and that collaboration should be the future of medicine. “At the end of the day, collaboration and connection create the best outcomes for the people we serve,” she says. Their in-depth conversation also spans the shifting landscape of women's hormone health, including the perimenopausal transition and long-overdue calls for research equity. “We're not just smaller versions of men. We need to have dedicated research for us.” Tune in to learn about the importance of grounding health in sustainable habits, rethinking midlife care for women, and how to help patients take ownership of their health.Mentioned in this episode:Joi + BlokesSuppCoDr. Mullane's Clinical Website If you like this podcast, please share it on your social channels.

This episode explains heat-shock proteins and practical ways to trigger them—sauna, brief cold exposure (50–60°F for 1–5 minutes), short intense exercise, intermittent fasting, and phytochemicals like curcumin and broccoli-sprout–derived sulforaphane. Hosts connect HSPs and daily habits to hormone balance, noting how ultra-processed carbs and chronic stress drive insulin, cortisol, thyroid, and leptin dysregulation. Takeaways: clean up nutrition, test—not guess—when symptoms persist, and start the day with a protein-forward breakfast instead of sugar.Get a FREE copy of Health, Hope & Freedom: https://sherwood.tv/For Kingdom Products visit: https://shop.fmidr.com/Interested in becoming a patient? https://fmidr.com/plans/Our privacy policy & disclaimer apply to this video.

Hormones can change how you feel, but they don't change who you are. And no prescription can fix a life built on burnout and self-abandonment. In this episode, I'm getting real about what's happening in my own body right now, hormones out of whack again, depression, anxiety, fatigue, memory loss, and a complete loss of zest for life. My get-up and go has left the building. But here's what I know: what I'm feeling is real, but it doesn't make it true. I've been on HRT for years. I take amazing care of myself physically. I work with practitioners. I've done decades of emotional work. And I'm still navigating this. Because HRT can support your symptoms, but it's not a magic bullet for all the emotional work you've been avoiding. Taking physically good care of yourself doesn't mean you've taken emotionally good care of yourself. Your hormones don't tank out of nowhere—they reflect how you've been living. The chronic stress, the over-functioning, the self-abandonment, the patterns you've normalized for so long you don't even see them anymore. This episode is for high-achieving women in perimenopause, menopause, or post-menopause who are exhausted, overwhelmed, and wondering if they're losing their minds. If you're ready to blow up your life or feeling like a victim of your own body, this conversation will challenge everything you think you know about hormone health. I break down what hormones can do, what they can't do, and the deeper self-leadership work your body is demanding you finally pay attention to. Because hormone therapy can change your chemistry, but only you can change your capacity.   Key Takeaways The critical distinction: What you're feeling is real, but it doesn't make it true. Feelings are data, not facts Why HRT isn't enough: Hormone replacement can stabilize physiology but cannot regulate your nervous system. That's your job The real cause of hormone chaos: How chronic stress, over-functioning, emotional suppression, and self-abandonment drive hormonal decline Physical vs emotional self-care: Taking physically good care of yourself doesn't mean you've taken emotionally good care of yourself Common perimenopause symptoms: Depression, anxiety, brain fog, fatigue, dry eyes, memory loss, poor workout recovery, loss of zest for life The hormone-gut connection: Why your gut health directly impacts your hormones and moods. 95% of serotonin is made in your gut Foundations that matter: Sleep, protein and fiber at every meal, movement, minerals and hydration, downtime, and boundaries What separates women who blow up their lives from women who transform: Self-leadership, emotional responsibility, and the courage to examine your patterns The questions you need to ask yourself: What are you getting from staying in chaos? How long will you blame your hormones instead of admitting you're a big part of the problem? Peri/menopause as invitation: This phase is asking you to finally know yourself more deeply and address the emotional work you've been avoiding   Resources Mentioned Hormone & Health Practitioners: Ciara Foy (@ciarafoyinc) - Specializes in hormone health and weight management for high-achievers over 40 Jenn Pike (@jennpike) - Nutrition and exercise expert with extensive online resources Alyssa Morra (@alyssamorragutexpert) - Gut health specialist focused on digestive wellness and hormonal balance Take the Next Step If you're exhausted from feeling like a victim of your own body, if you recognize yourself in this episode and you're ready to lead yourself differently, book a free 15-minute Congruency Audit.

This episode explores how light exposure, sleep patterns, and daily habits influence hormone balance, metabolism, and emotional resilience. Dr. Mark and Michele explain why early morning sunlight signals the brain to elevate cortisol at the right time, improving fat burning and regulating mood. They discuss how artificial light at night disrupts melatonin and sleep quality, leading to weight gain and stress. Practical takeaways include getting sunlight first thing, reducing evening screen glow, cooling the bedroom, and using calming music to shift the nervous system.Get a FREE copy of Health, Hope & Freedom: https://sherwood.tv/For Kingdom Products visit: https://shop.fmidr.com/Interested in becoming a patient? https://fmidr.com/plans/Our privacy policy & disclaimer apply to this video.

What if your “food sensitivities” weren't really the problem—but just the message your body's been trying to send you? In this episode, we unpack what most food sensitivity tests get wrong and why the MRT (Mediator Release Test) is one of the few tools that can actually reveal what's really inflaming your body. In today's episode, we'll share my personal journey of years of bloating, fatigue, and restriction—before finally discovering how MRT testing offered real answers instead of endless guesswork. You'll learn how popular IgG tests often mislead people into cutting out 20+ foods unnecessarily, and how MRT goes deeper by measuring your actual inflammatory response—not just antibody exposure. We'll break down what the results actually mean, why some “healthy” foods might be triggering your system, and how to use that information to heal, not just restrict. This episode also explores the root causes behind sensitivities—like low stomach acid, leaky gut, chronic stress, and dysbiosis—and how to rebuild tolerance instead of living in fear of food. Through my own experience of reintroducing foods and repairing gut function, I show how MRT can shift you from feeling reactive and confused to calm and confident in your body again. If you've tried every elimination diet, still feel inflamed, and are tired of playing food detective, this conversation will help you see sensitivities for what they really are: signals, not sentences. By the end, you'll understand why healing the terrain, not just removing the foods, is the key to lasting relief—and how using data the right way can bring back freedom, flexibility, and trust in your body. Time Stamps: (1:42) Country T-Swift Fan (2:47) Being An Optimizer (4:57) Food Sensitive/MRT (9:27) Overactive Immune System (11:57) Note on MRT Test (16:52) What Foods To Eat When (20:22) Lowering Inflammation---------------------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 episode, Dr. Vonda Wright sits down with Anne Fulenwider and Monica Molenaar of Alloy Health, co-founders and co-CEOs of Alloy Health, to explore how their personal menopause journeys led them to build a women's health company that bridges the gap between medical care and accessible, ongoing support. Anne shares how having her ovaries removed at 40—and then navigating a confusing system with limited guidance—sparked the mission behind Alloy, while Monica reveals how everyday symptoms like incontinence drove innovation in skincare and hormone solutions. Together, they dive into Alloy's “care, not just content” model: connecting women directly with physicians via messaging, offering transparent pricing, and delivering prescription therapies, skincare, and metabolic care in one streamlined platform. The conversation tackles systemic barriers in women's health, the role of estrogen in skin and bladder health, and how Alloy is expanding into weight management during menopause. This episode is for anyone seeking clarity, community, and care in the era of midlife transformation. ••• Connect with Alloy Health: Website: https://www.myalloy.com/ ••• Make sure to follow Dr. Vonda Wright: Instagram: @drvondawright Youtube: https://www.youtube.com/@vondawright Tiktok: https://www.tiktok.com/@drvondawright LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/vonda-wright-md-ms-2803374 Website: http://www.DrVondaWright.com ••• If you enjoyed this episode, Subscribe to “HOT For Your Health” for more inspiring episodes.

This episode is brought to you by Legion, Fatty15, Joi and Blokes, and Audible. Today we sit down with hormone expert and bestselling author Dr. Mariza Snyder, DC to unpack the misunderstood phase of perimenopause—a time of powerful transition that affects every woman but is rarely talked about with clarity and compassion. Mariza defines what perimenopause really is (and how early it can begin), while highlighting symptoms like brain fog, mood shifts, energy crashes, and stubborn weight gain that are too often misdiagnosed or ignored. Drawing from both science and personal experience, she explains how estrogen impacts everything from mental clarity to metabolism, and why muscle mass and metabolic health are non-negotiables after 40. If you're a woman navigating this stage—or someone who loves one—this episode will leave you feeling informed, validated, and ready to thrive in your next chapter.

Your Hormone Health Playbook Balanced hormones don't just happen by chance — they're built on science, strategy, and a little self-awareness. In this first episode of our hormone health series, we're laying out your playbook: the big picture of how your cycle works, what changes across the decades, what throws hormones off track, and the steps you can take today to support balance for years to come. What You'll Learn in This Episode: ✨ Cycle Overview (the big picture) The four phases of your menstrual cycle: menstrual, follicular, ovulatory, and luteal. Why estrogen, progesterone, and LH/FSH shifts matter for your energy, mood, and performance. How the HPO axis (hypothalamus-pituitary-ovary connection) keeps everything in rhythm. ✨ Major Hormone Change Points From puberty to menopause, what's happening with hormones in your teens, 20s, 30s, 40s, and beyond. What to expect in perimenopause vs. menopause — and why timing matters. ✨ What Exacerbates Imbalances The real-life culprits that throw hormones off balance: stress, poor sleep, nutrient gaps, gut issues, toxins, and more. Why blood sugar and insulin are key players in the hormone story. ✨ Future-Proofing Hormone Health How your 30s and 40s set the stage for smoother perimenopause and menopause. Insights from research on bone health, metabolism, and even brain resilience. ✨ Your ALIFE Framework for Balanced Hormones Because balanced hormones = a better life. A – Adapt Stress → Lower the cortisol burden. L – Love Your Liver → Support detox with food, hydration, and lifestyle. I – Increase Awareness → Track your cycle and learn your patterns. F – Fuel for Balance → Nourish with protein, fats, and fiber-rich carbs. E – Embrace Sleep → Protect your circadian rhythm and hormone orchestra. Balanced hormones don't happen by accident — they happen by ALIFE. Adapt stress, Love your liver, Increase awareness, Fuel your body, and Embrace sleep. That's how we create a life that flows.

What if the reason you're bloated isn't because you're eating too much, but because you're not eating enough? In this episode, we dive into the surprising truth about how eating more food, especially the right kinds in the right amounts, can actually reduce bloating, improve digestion, and help your body finally feel calm and regular again. For many women, undereating or intermittent fasting seems to help at first. You feel “lighter” and less puffy. But over time, that same strategy can backfire, slowing digestion, stressing the gut, and throwing hormones completely out of rhythm. This conversation breaks down why that happens and what to do instead. You'll learn how adequate food intake reactivates your digestive fire, boosts stomach acid and enzyme production, and supports smoother motility. We also explore how eating enough improves bowel regularity, fuels gut repair, and even reduces bloating by calming inflammation and supporting the nervous system. We unpack why skipping meals or surviving on “clean” salads can actually make things worse, and how building balanced meals with protein, carbs, and healthy fats can reset your digestion and hormones. Plus, we'll talk about the hidden link between undereating and the binge-restrict cycle and why eating more consistently throughout the day helps you break free from it. If you've been stuck in the loop of doing everything “right” but still feeling bloated, tired, or puffy, this episode will reframe everything you thought you knew about food and gut health. By the end, you'll understand how more food can mean less bloat, better energy, and a calmer, more predictable digestive system and why sometimes, healing starts with giving your body permission to eat. Time Stamps: (1:44) Dealing with COVID(3:17) Reduce Bloating By Eating More?(5:27) How Is This Possible?(10:26) Eating More and Being Regular(15:27) Saw This Recent Reel(21:12) Omar's Math and Weekly Calorie Intake---------------------Follow Annie on Instagram: @ohannieruth 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?

Episode Highlights: Key takeaways from The Hormone Balance Bible on hormone imbalances and overall wellness The differences between mammography, ultrasound, and thermography in breast cancer screening Why thermography is a physiological test, while mammography and ultrasound focus on structure The pros and cons of each screening method — and why no single test is perfect How ultrasound can sometimes catch what mammograms miss The lower false-positive rate associated with thermography The promise of emerging imaging technologies like the QT scan Why prevention is more powerful than detection in the fight against cancer How to choose the breast screening method that aligns best with your health goals and comfort level Episode Resources: Dr. Shawn Tassone's Practice | Tassone Advanced Gynecology Dr. Shawn Tassone's Book | The Hormone Balance Bible Dr. Shawn Tassone's Integrative Hormonal Mapping System | Hormonal Archetype Quiz Medical Disclaimer This podcast and website represent the opinions of Dr. Shawn Tassone and his guests.

What if you were doing everything right? Tracking your macros, lifting weights, eating clean and your body still felt inflamed, puffy, and broken?  That was Annie Kundis's reality. A former bodybuilder and competitive powerlifter turned mom and influencer, Annie spent over a decade following every fitness rule in the book only to watch her energy crash, her digestion spiral, and her confidence disappear. In this episode, Annie shares how DUTCH and GI-MAP testing completely changed her life after years of feeling dismissed by traditional doctors who told her to “just eat less and exercise more.” For the first time, real data revealed what was actually happening: low hormones, flipped cortisol, gut infections, and nutrient malabsorption. With that clarity, Annie finally had a roadmap for healing, not more restriction. She opens up about pressing pause on hard training, cutting caffeine, and learning to rest without guilt, plus the simple protocols that led to her first regular digestion in over a decade. We also dive into the emotional side: body dysmorphia, burnout, and rebuilding self-trust after years of fighting her body. Annie's story is raw, hopeful, and deeply relatable, showing that healing isn't about perfection, it's about understanding your body and giving it what it truly needs. If you've ever felt inflamed, exhausted, or unseen by the medical system, this episode will hit home. Tune in to hear how Annie went from survival mode to thriving and why she says today, “I don't feel sick anymore. I finally feel free.” Time Stamps: (3:22) Annie's Health Journey Before Vital Spark(9:37) Navigating Depression(12:52) GI Map and DUTCH Test Results(16:22) Learning To Slow Down(21:12) Trusting The Process(32:59) Where To Find Annie---------------------Follow Annie on Instagram: @ohannieruth 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?

Have you ever felt like stress was just baked into your life?  That no matter what you did, your job, your family, or your schedule would always keep you stuck in survival mode?  I've been there. For years, I told myself, “I'll always be stressed,” and it left me trapped in a cycle of burnout, resentment, and health struggles.  What I've learned is that real healing, whether it's from weight loss resistance, hormone imbalances, gut issues, or autoimmune conditions, can't happen until the nervous system feels safe. In this episode, I'm sharing the three shifts that helped me move from constant overwhelm to a place of regulation and resilience: state, story, and strategy. First, I'll break down how simple physical practices like eating outside in the sun, sipping chamomile tea, or walking between calls helped reset my nervous system.  Then, I'll explain how changing my story moved me out of victim mode and into empowerment, showing how the words we repeat to ourselves literally shape our stress hormones. Finally, I'll share how strategy through boundaries, systems, and structure became the safety net that made everything else sustainable. You'll also hear a practical example of how a full-time working mom could apply these same shifts to create more peace, energy, and balance in her day-to-day life, without adding another overwhelming “to-do.”  Time Stamps: (0:25) The Fall Season (2:10) Work Schedule and The Negative Self-Narrative (7:00) State/Story/Strategy Framework (9:50) Supporting My Physiology (14:10) Combating The All or Nothing Mentality (16:25) The Story You're Telling Yourself (21:05) The Final Piece: Strategy (25:45) Motion.AI (37:10) Tag Us for Accountability---------------------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?
