Are you feeling frustrated by fatigue, weight loss resistance, hormone imbalance, or ongoing gut issues—despite taking all the right supplements and trying every program out there? You're not alone. After working with close to 1,000 people in my functional practice, I've seen the same patterns show up over and over again: supplement overload, one-size-fits-all protocols, detoxing too soon, restrictive dieting that slows your metabolism, and a lack of individualized support when it comes to hormones, gut health, and energy. In this episode, I'm sharing the most common mistakes I see in the natural health space—and what your body actually needs to heal. If you're struggling with brain fog, low energy, perimenopausal symptoms, IBS, bloating, thyroid or adrenal fatigue, this is the episode that may help you finally connect the dots. We'll talk about how to stop chasing quick fixes and start making real progress using personalized strategies rooted in functional medicine. Whether you've spent hundreds on supplements or joined a gut healing or hormone program that didn't work, this episode will give you a fresh perspective—and hope. What You'll Learn: • Why piling on supplements without a clear purpose can backfire on your liver and healing process • The problem with “cookie-cutter” programs for complex symptoms like fatigue, brain fog, or hormonal imbalance • Why testing your hormones without looking at how your body metabolizes them could be a waste of time and money • The real reason low-calorie diets and long fasting windows can tank your metabolism and leave you exhausted If you're feeling overwhelmed by wellness advice and still not seeing results, it's not your fault. So much of what's promoted online skips over the critical truth: you're an individual. And what works for someone else's fatigue, weight gain, or bloating might not work for yours. Inside this episode, I walk you through how I think about hormone balance, digestive health, metabolism, detox readiness, adrenal support, and sustainable energy—using real functional frameworks and clinical experience. This is the “what” and “why” behind why you're still feeling off… even if your labs are normal or your supplements are high-end.

If your energy is constantly drained, the scale won't budge no matter what you try, or your gut feels like it's staging a daily rebellion—your hormones could be the hidden culprit. In this episode, I sit down with functional medicine expert Dr. Betty Murray to unpack how perimenopause, hormone metabolism, and hormone replacement therapy (HRT) play a much bigger role in our health than most of us are told. We get into the real reasons behind chronic fatigue, weight loss resistance, bloating, brain fog, and IBS—and why typical lab tests are missing the mark. This conversation is your backstage pass into what's really going on with your metabolism, your mood, and your midsection—and what to do when “normal” labs still leave you feeling off. What You'll Hear in This Episode: • Why perimenopause symptoms can start up to a decade before menopause—and the subtle hormone shift that might explain your energy crashes • The shocking truth about estrogen and breast cancer risk (spoiler: the data may surprise you) • The real reason your hormones might not be working—even if you're on HRT • How hormone metabolism and detoxification are key to healing gut health and resolving symptoms like bloating and IBS Here's Why You'll Want to Hit Play: Most women are only testing their estradiol levels—and missing the bigger picture. In this conversation, Dr. Murray shares why hormone replacement isn't just about putting hormones in… it's about how your body clears them. She also reveals how factors like gut health, inflammation, and adrenal fatigue influence your entire hormone pathway. We talk about the HPATG axis, how cortisol and stress impact your cycle, and why symptoms like constipation, leaky gut, and low progesterone are often overlooked. Plus, we break down the Dutch test, estrogen dominance, and how the right hormone therapy could transform your energy, cognitive health, and even protect your bones. If you're dealing with: Daily fatigue that coffee can't fix Unexplained weight gain and belly fat Bloating, gas, or IBS symptoms that won't go away Brain fog and memory issues that scare you Mood swings, sleep struggles, or crashing energy... ...this episode will give you the “why” behind it all—so you can finally take the right next step.

Candida Overgrowth: The Hidden Factor Sabotaging Your Gut, Hormones, and Energy Are you stuck in a cycle of fatigue, brain fog, bloating, and stubborn weight gain no matter what you do? If you're in perimenopause or struggling with digestive issues like IBS, there's a hidden culprit you might not have considered—Candida overgrowth. It's a common issue I see in women experiencing hormone imbalances, low energy, and weight loss resistance, and it could be quietly disrupting your gut health and metabolism. In this episode, I share how Candida can create a ripple effect throughout your body, affecting everything from your mood and focus to your hormones and immune system. We'll unpack how Candida thrives in modern lifestyles, why it's often missed in traditional testing, and what you need to know to start supporting your body naturally. Here's what you'll learn in this episode: The surprising connection between fatigue, brain fog, and Candida overgrowth—and why diet alone isn't always enough to heal. How hormone shifts in perimenopause and menopause make women more susceptible to gut imbalances like Candida. A little-known gut-brain link that might explain your energy crashes and mood swings. The key role of your liver in keeping hormones and Candida in check (and what happens when it's overloaded). Why this matters for your health Candida overgrowth is rarely just about your gut—it's tied to cortisol and stress, blood sugar balance, and even thyroid health. If you've been feeling stuck in cycles of exhaustion or digestive discomfort, this episode will help you uncover the “why” behind your symptoms. I'll guide you through the patterns I see with clients and the science behind bringing your gut and hormones back into balance. But the real “how-to” steps are inside the episode—so hit play and let's get started.

Hormones and Mental Health: Why Perimenopause Can Rewire Your Brain Are you struggling with fatigue, brain fog, or mood swings and wondering if it's “just stress” or something more? Hormone changes in perimenopause and menopause don't just affect your body—they rewire your brain and can disrupt neurotransmitters that regulate mood, sleep, and energy. This episode dives deep into how hormone balance impacts mental health and what you can do to support your mind and body during this transition. In this episode, I unpack the surprising ways estrogen, progesterone, and testosterone influence your brain chemistry and how their decline during perimenopause can create a ripple effect on serotonin, dopamine, and GABA—the neurotransmitters responsible for happiness, focus, and calm. Here's what you'll learn in this episode: The startling link between dropping progesterone and rising anxiety—and how this hormone acts as nature's calming agent. Why estrogen is critical for serotonin and dopamine production, and what happens when levels plummet in your 40s and 50s. How testosterone loss affects motivation, confidence, and libido (yes, it matters for women too!). Practical steps to stabilize mood, improve sleep, and regain mental clarity without overhauling your entire routine. This episode is packed with actionable strategies—from tracking your symptoms to creating a hormone-friendly sleep and nutrition plan. I also share quick nervous system resets and explain how small shifts in diet, movement, and stress management can rebalance your mood and metabolism.

Ever wonder why you're still exhausted—even after a full night's sleep? Or why brain fog and hormone imbalance seem to linger no matter how “healthy” your habits feel? If alcohol is still in the picture, even just a little, that could be a missing link. In this episode, I talk with intuitive drinking coach Colleen Freeland about alcohol's hidden role in disrupting your sleep, spiking cortisol, and draining your energy—especially for women navigating perimenopause, chronic stress, or stubborn fatigue. We're breaking down the science and psychology behind how alcohol affects your metabolism, hormone balance, and nervous system, even if you're not a heavy drinker. Whether you're someone who winds down with wine or drinks socially without thinking twice, this conversation will shift how you see alcohol—and give you tools to reconnect with how you actually want to feel. What You'll Hear Inside This Episode: How alcohol secretly spikes cortisol and leaves your nervous system stuck in stress mode The overlooked way drinking impacts your progesterone levels and sabotages deep sleep Why "just one drink" can still disrupt blood sugar, digestion, and next-day energy The simple mindset shift that helps you reduce drinking—without guilt or restriction Alcohol isn't just a lifestyle choice—it's a hormonal disruptor. From poor sleep to midday crashes, alcohol quietly rewires your body's stress and recovery systems. If you're navigating perimenopause, low energy, or weight loss resistance, this episode unpacks why cutting back might be the most impactful change you can make—and how to do it intuitively. You'll learn why alcohol affects your gut health, sleep cycles, cortisol rhythms, and even contributes to hormonal imbalance like estrogen dominance or adrenal fatigue. It's not about willpower—it's about understanding the biology and building habits that support your best energy. We're not here to ban alcohol. We're here to help you think critically about it. When you shift your intention, you get your energy, sleep, and clarity back—without feeling like you're giving anything up.

Ever feel crushing fatigue, stubborn belly weight, or energy crashes no matter how “clean” you eat? Let's sort out the confusion around weight-loss resistance, hormone balance, gut health, and a metabolism that suddenly won't cooperate—especially in perimenopause when brain fog, IBS-style bloating, and low energy can gang-up on you. Today I walk you through the hidden hormone signals that turn calories into cling-on fat (yes, even if you're fasting, counting macros, or exercising harder) —so you can finally drop the frustration along with the extra pounds. What we cover in this episode The cortisol trap that stores fat around your organs—and the simple nightly shift that starts reversing it. A subtle estrogen-progesterone imbalance that can tank metabolism in perimenopause and why blood tests often miss it. Why “eat less, move more” backfires when thyroid conversion stalls (hint: it's not just about calories). A protein-fiber combo that smooths blood-sugar spikes and steadies energy without crash diets. You'll walk away knowing what hormone patterns sabotage weight-loss, why stress and sleep set the stage for belly fat, and which lab clues flag hidden insulin resistance—so you can tune into the full episode for the “how” and put each fix into action. Expect to reclaim energy, clear brain fog, and see the scale move in the right direction while supporting gut and digestive health along the way.

Dr. Meg Mill discusses the need to consider histamine issues when addressing gut health. She explains the role of histamine in the body and how it can affect various body systems. Register for FREE with this link for the Histamine Summit to hear more in depth discussions of this topic. Check out my previous interview with Dr. Meg on migraines and headaches. Takeaways Functional medicine offers personalized approaches to address health issues that conventional medicine may not be able to resolve. Histamine issues can affect gut health and lead to various symptoms such as digestive issues, anxiety, and hormone imbalances. Histamine intolerance can be caused by genetic factors, imbalances in the gut microbiome, and nutritional deficiencies. A low histamine diet can be used as an investigative tool to identify trigger foods, but long-term solutions should focus on addressing the underlying causes of histamine intolerance. Histamine intolerance can be associated with symptoms such as nasal congestion, headaches, fatigue, anxiety, and joint pain. The Reversing Mast Cell Activation Syndrome and Histamine Intolerance Summit provides valuable information from experts in the field to help individuals understand and manage histamine-related issues.

Today I am joined by Dr. Meg Mill and she has been a guest on the show before so I forgot to look up the episode but that will be in the show notes so if you're listening to this it was another great episode with her before be sure you go check it out. But before we get started we got a great new topic today which I'm super excited about and also a cool summit that Dr. Mill is running coming up so more on that later. But first Dr. Meg if you could just share with everybody. your background, your PharmD, you now do a functional medicine practice. So I'd love for you to just share how you got into all that for people that didn't listen to the interview yet. And then we'll start chatting about our new topic for the day. Meg Mill (00:40)Yes, yes. Well, so I, like you said, I graduated with a doctor of pharmacy and then I actually went on to do a residency and was practicing as a clinical pharmacist. And I kind of have two reasons that I switched to functional medicine. And one was that I knew all the protocols. I knew what to do. We had what we should do and people just weren't getting better. I'm like, okay, we're putting them on more medication, but we're not seeing them improve. It's just like, okay, we're sustaining this place. And then at the same time, I was having a lot of my own health issues. So I was having, you know, a lot of digestive issues. I was having anxiety. I actually started getting panic attacks. And that was when I was at the point where I have to change. So I remember sitting, like my kids are playing on the beach and I'm sitting there and I'm like, okay, I'm here, but I'm in so much, like my stomach's upset. I can't eat anything. I, you know, I'm having all this anxiety. I need to make a change in my life. And that's kind of when my journey shifted and I started to really look into more holistic ways of healing. And that led me to find functional medicine for myself and finally get answers. I've been to like five different gastroenterologists I you know was we moved a lot at the time so I'd be like I'm gonna get an answer now when we moved to a new place and it just it was just not everyone said you're fine you look like the picture of health of Listeners if you've been told that and you feel terrible go with your instincts because that is not true But when I finally found answers, I was like I need to share this with others. I opened my virtual practice

I'm a headache person, or at least I used to be. When I got too tired, fell out of my normal routine, or got close to the menstruation point in my cycle, I could almost guarantee a nagging headache would surface. Sometimes they were more of a nuisance than a day-altering issue. But other times, it left me stuck in bed with a full-on migraine. If you're a headache person, I know the struggle. But it doesn't have to stay that way. Over the years of healing my body, adding energy, and changing my perspective on stress, I've cleared 98% of my headaches, leaving me to go months and months without symptoms. I believe you can get here too. Of course, everyone is different, but changes are possible for all of us. I invited an expert in headaches, Dr. Meg Mill, to come on the show and explain why we get them, how to relieve them, and even prevent headaches from popping up.
