This raw, unfiltered episode dives straight into the real challenges of postpartum life—beyond the hormone talk and clinical labels. Dr. Nicole lays it out: bringing a baby into the world doesn't just shake up your body, it shakes up your entire life, surfacing old wounds, unresolved traumas, and deep-seated beliefs. She breaks down how physical symptoms can be signals from your subconscious, not just medical issues, and offers a powerful invitation to see postpartum as a chance for deep self-reflection and generational healing. This is for every mom (and dad) who's ever wondered, “Is this just hormones, or is there something deeper going on?” #PostpartumTruth #GenerationalHealing #ConsciousParenting #IntegrativeYou #MindBodyConnection #BreakTheCycle #MomLifeUnfiltered #HealingJourney #EmotionalWellness #ParentingRealTalk 3 Key Takeaways: Postpartum is a Mirror: Having a baby brings unresolved emotional wounds and subconscious patterns to the surface—don't ignore what's coming up, it's feedback for growth. Symptoms Are Signals: Physical issues (from thyroid to gut to heart) often reflect deeper emotional conflicts or misalignments, not just “bad luck” or “bad genes.” Healing is Generational: Processing your own stuff isn't just for you—it breaks cycles so your kids don't inherit your unhealed trauma. Invest in yourself, and you invest in your family's future. Quotes: “When you bring a baby into the world, everything shows its face. All the shit that you haven't processed, all the shit that you brushed under the rug… everything shows its face.” “Your kid is literally a little mirror of all your shit that you haven't dealt with. So if you can fix yourself as a parent, your kids will be way better off.” Find Integrative You Radio On: Website Youtube Apple Spotify 2 Doctors Committed to Innovating the Healthcare Experience.

In this episode, Dr. Nicole and Dr. Nick unpack what it really means to “choose your challenge wisely” in your health, family, and business. They share a real-life story of a family navigating a child's “incurable” diagnosis and contrast the challenge of doing deep, integrative work with the hidden challenge of staying in the conventional, band-aid model. They call out how distraction culture, social media, and living by everyone else's “shoulds” pull you away from your true values, your family, and your unique mission—and how reflection, aligned challenge, and inspiration (not desperation) are the real path to a life you actually love. #ChooseYourChallengeWisely #IntegrativeYou #IntegrativeMedicine #FunctionalMedicine #ConsciousParenting #GenerationalHealth #ValuesDrivenLife #MindBodySpirit #HolisticHealing #HealingJourney #QuantumHealing #NeuroscienceAndHealing #HealthIsWealth #LegacyLiving #IntentionalLiving #InspirationOverDesperation #DistractionDetox #FamilyFirstLeadership #HighPerformanceMoms #EntrepreneurHealth 3 Key Takeaways: You can't escape challenge—only choose which one you're willing to live with. Medication and band-aids come with their own set of challenges: behavior issues, neurological inflammation, family disruption, more diagnoses down the line. Doing the deeper integrative work is also a challenge—but it's the one that actually moves you toward a healthy child, a healthy body, and a healthy family dynamic. Life expands when your challenge is connected to your highest values. When the pain and effort are tied to what matters most—your kids, your health, your mission, your freedom—the challenge becomes inspiring instead of draining. If you're constantly complaining, procrastinating, and feeling “over it,” you're probably working on the wrong challenge or you haven't connected it to what's truly important to you. Distraction is stealing your clarity, your presence, and your legacy. Living on social media, comparing your life, your business, or your family to everyone else keeps you out of touch with your own values. Reflection time, stillness, and honest self-inquiry are non-negotiable if you want to stop living by “I should / I have to / I need to” and start curating a life rooted in inspiration instead of desperation. Quotes: “You don't get to opt out of challenge—you only get to choose the one that leads you closer to the life you actually want.” “Life isn't happening to you; every challenge is a feedback mechanism redirecting you from desperation to a life rooted in inspiration and your true values.” Find Integrative You Radio On: Website Youtube Apple Spotify 2 Doctors Committed to Innovating the Healthcare Experience.

In this episode of Integrative You Radio, Dr. Nicole breaks down why most people hit a plateau around the six-week mark in their healing journey—and why that's not a “failure,” it's feedback. She explains the physiological reasons protocols stop working as powerfully, how pathogens and organs adapt, and why your strategy must evolve as your body changes. Then she goes straight for the mindset: the cost of living in “service to everyone but yourself,” the illusion of getting “back to normal,” and how to start making decisions from inspiration instead of desperation so your health, family, and life actually move in the direction you say you want. #IntegrativeYou #IntegrativeYouRadio #HealingJourney #HealthPlateau #FunctionalMedicine #IntegrativeMedicine #RootCauseHealing #MindBodyConnection #WomensHealth #HighAchievingWomen #HolisticHealth #SelfPrioritization #BurnoutRecovery #HealthMindset #InspirationOverDesperation 3 Key Takeaways: A six-week plateau is not a problem, it's a signal. Your body and the pathogens you're clearing adapt. What got you from A to B won't get you from B to C—your protocol, supplements, and therapies should evolve every 6–12 weeks, not stay static. If your life is built on self-neglect, your “normal” is the problem. When you finally prioritize your own health, you feel empowered—until old programming creeps in: “This isn't realistic, I have to get back to normal.” But that “normal” is usually burnout, overcommitting, and living for everyone else. Sustainable healing requires both strategy and mindset. Going all-in, “perfect” for six weeks, then crashing is not mastery. Micro changes, mindset upgrades, and asking “Is this decision rooted in inspiration or desperation?” create real, long-term transformation. Quotes: “A plateau isn't good or bad—it's just your body saying, ‘Hey, change the strategy.' If what you're doing is working, you're changing. So why would your protocol stay the same?” “If you're the burnt out, tired, exhausted, unhealthy version of yourself, you're not actually serving anyone. Everybody getting the glass-half-empty version of you is not helping your kids, your spouse, or your clients.” Find Integrative You Radio On: Website Youtube Apple Spotify 2 Doctors Committed to Innovating the Healthcare Experience.

If you're curious as to whether you have any stored emotions or trauma that might be causing your illness, preventing you from achieving your goals, or even just showing up as the best, authentic version of yourself, I invite you to take my free Stored Emotions and Trauma QuizWhat if functional medicine is just another kind of greenwashed medicine, still missing the real root cause?Supplements and stricter health routines don't always bring us closer to true healing. After decades in microbiology and functional medicine, I've watched the field drift toward complexity and noise, often replacing pills with powders, not purpose. A recent conversation with a longtime friend confirmed what I'd been intuitively feeling for years: even our so-called “holistic” approaches can keep us sick.More testing, stricter diets, and endless “shoulds” can disconnect us from our own intuition. The good news is, there is something that drives lasting change. Because sometimes the best “treatment” isn't another supplement at all. Your body already knows what it needs, you just have to listen.You'll Learn:[00:00] Introduction[03:47] Why functional and integrative medicine can unintentionally harm more than help[06:12] What happens when health advice turns into noise and “shoulds” that disconnect you from your body[09:34] How one practitioner's trip to Europe shattered my ideas of what “healthy” really means[12:56] The surprising reason some “unhealthy” people still thrive while the wellness-obsessed don't[15:43] Why no single diet or protocol can work for everyone, and what to do instead[18:27] How genetic and biochemical individuality change what balance looks like for you[19:55] The real foundation of healing hidden beneath supplements and lab results[21:42] When functional medicine truly shines, and when it crosses into overcomplication[22:58] Why honoring your own intuition is the most powerful medicine you haveFind More From Dr. Stephanie Davis:Dr. Stephanie Davis | WebsiteQuantum Rx | InstagramQuantum Rx | Skool

Ditch The Pills: How Integrative Medicine Could Change Your Life These days, there's a pill to solve nearly every problem, but the actual issue may be our growing dependence on these pharmaceuticals. A different approach known as integrative medicine encourages treating the root causes of illness. Our experts this week explain how lifestyle changes, nutrition, and better patient-doctor relationships can finally give us lasting, full-body health. “We Just Listen To Doctors”: Being An Informed Patient Can Save Your Life After losing her son to an opioid overdose, one mother has turned her grief into action by creating a new kind of hospital role – life care specialists. These “care coaches” guide patients through recovery, offering pain management education, emotional support, and alternatives to addictive medications.

Today's conversation takes us upstream—to the source—of one of the most pressing and emotionally charged topics in modern pediatrics: the rise in autism spectrum disorders. Autism rates have continued to climb in 2025, but what if much of what we call “the epidemic” isn't simply genetics or better diagnosis, but a reflection of deeper biological, environmental, and developmental changes affecting the human organism before birth? To explore this critical question, I'm joined by three extraordinary clinicians who have dedicated their lives to understanding the roots of children's health and disease. Dr. Sandy Newmark, Clinical Professor of Pediatrics at the Osher Center for Integrative Medicine at UCSF, has spent the past two decades at the intersection of conventional and integrative medicine—focusing specifically on children with autism and ADHD. His approach blends deep compassion with scientific rigor, examining how nutrition, toxins, inflammation, and the microbiome shape the developing brain. Dr. Elisa Song, Stanford-, NYU-, and UCSF-trained integrative pediatrician and author of Healthy Kids, Happy Kids, is one of the leading global voices in pediatric functional medicine. As founder and Chief Medical Officer of Healthy Kids Happy Kids and Tiny Health, she's pioneering microbiome-centered strategies to reverse chronic disease in children and reshape how we think about wellness from the inside out. Dr. Leslie Stone, family physician, obstetrician, and co-founder of GrowBabyHealth.com, brings a lifetime of experience delivering and caring for over 5,000 babies. Her groundbreaking work in the science of Developmental Origins of Health and Disease—the DOHaD model—shows how what happens before and during pregnancy programs a child's long-term health, resilience, and risk for conditions like autism. Together, we'll discuss the emerging evidence that the autism epidemic is not a mystery of genetics alone, but a story written in inflammation, metabolic disruption, environmental exposures, and the developmental stressors of modern life. We'll explore how integrative and functional medicine are reframing prevention—not just treatment—and what it will take to truly turn the tide for the next generation. This is a conversation about hope, science, and the possibility of rewriting the future—one mother, one child, and one generation at a time.

This episode of Integrative You Radio dives deep into the misunderstood world of parasites, specifically hookworm, and their role in chronic gut issues like Crohn's disease, ulcerative colitis, and mysterious symptoms like anemia, muscle wasting, and hemorrhoids. Dr. Nicole Rivera breaks down the difference between classic diagnoses and the often-overlooked root causes, sharing real client stories and practical advice for anyone feeling stuck or misdiagnosed. The conversation is honest, a little gritty, and designed to empower listeners to ask better questions, seek out more precise testing, and challenge the status quo in conventional and functional medicine. #IntegrativeYouRadio #RootCauseMedicine #ParasiteAwareness #CrohnsHealing #UlcerativeColitis #FunctionalMedicine #GutHealth #HookwormTruth #HealthEmpowerment #TestDontGuess #WellnessPodcast #RealRawHealing 3 Key Takeaways: Root Cause Over Labels: Many chronic gut issues (Crohn's, ulcerative colitis, anemia, muscle wasting) may actually be linked to parasites like hookworm—not just the standard diagnoses. Investigating root causes, not just treating symptoms, is essential for true healing. Testing Matters: Conventional stool tests often miss parasites due to how quickly they break down after leaving the body. Blood, urine, and DNA testing can be more reliable for uncovering hidden infections. Empowerment Through Knowledge: Understanding the difference between hemorrhoids and deeper inflammatory issues—and knowing what to look for—arms you with the right questions and helps you advocate for your own health journey. Quotes: “You have to get rid of that more foundational issue before you're going to be successful with getting rid of the rest.” “I'm not telling you that hookworm is the only cause of Crohn's or ulcerative colitis, but I am telling you that it is worth it to investigate if that is the foundational reason why you have that condition in the first place.” Find Integrative You Radio On: Website Youtube Apple Spotify 2 Doctors Committed to Innovating the Healthcare Experience.
