Ep. 185: Hormone Replacement Therapy Is Back On The Table: What Every Woman Should Know with Deanna Woodroffe | Perimenopause | HRT | Hormone Balancing | Menopause | Hashimoto’s
Sep 4, 202645 minS4
Are you confused about hormone replacement therapy and knowing which hormones your body actually needs? How can you navigate perimenopause and menopause symptoms, bioidentical hormones, progesterone, estrogen, and testosterone without feeling overwhelmed by all the conflicting information? In this episode, I’m joined by women’s health nurse practitioner Deanna Woodroffe, who has been working with bioidentical hormone replacement therapy for more than 20 years. We’re getting into the details of what personalized hormone care actually looks like — from testing and choosing the right hormones to understanding why what works beautifully for one woman may make another woman feel worse. We also talk about something that I think gets missed far too often: hormones are only one piece of the puzzle. Stress, gut health, nutrition, magnesium, vitamin D, iron, and other factors can all influence how you feel and how your body responds to hormonal support. Deanna explains perfectly why hormone therapy often involves some trial and error, what symptoms may tell you that something needs to be adjusted, and why staying in communication with your provider is so important. Deanna and I have also both experienced something called progesterone intolerance, which affects a lot more women than you might think and comes with symptoms like mood changes, anxiety, brain fog, headaches, and more. We talk about different doses and delivery methods, alternatives like Vitex, and why there isn’t one hormone protocol that works for everyone. Finally, we get into DHEA and pregnenolone, different forms of hormone replacement therapy, and what happens when hormones improve some symptoms but don’t completely get you where you want to be. If you’re navigating perimenopause, menopause, or changing hormones and wondering how to make sense of all your options, this episode will help you understand why finding the right support is really about putting your individual health puzzle together.

Ep. 183: Should I Take Thyroid Medication? What Women With Hashimoto’s Need To Know with Dr. Jen Mann, ND | Thyroid Health | Thyroid Medication | Holistic Medicine | Tests For Hashimoto’s
Aug 20, 202637 minS4
Struggling with Hashimoto’s or hypothyroidism and wondering whether thyroid medication could actually help you feel better? How do you know which thyroid labs to test, whether you need T3 or T4, and if medication belongs in your thyroid healing journey? In this episode, I’m sitting down with Dr. Jen Mann, a naturopathic doctor who understands this struggle on a deeply personal level. Jen and I both experienced thyroid and gut issues from a young age, and we talk about what it’s like to spend years pushing through fatigue, depression, brain fog, digestive problems, and other symptoms before finally getting answers. We also dive into thyroid medication, a topic that is usually surrounded by a lot of confusion for women with thyroid disease. We break down the differences between T3 and T4, synthetic and compounded options, what your thyroid labs can tell you, and why how you actually feel matters just as much as the numbers on a piece of paper. Our goal is to take away some of the shame around needing medication and remind you that thyroid support doesn't have to be all-natural or all-medication. It can be both. And as always, we're looking beyond the thyroid itself. We talk about gut health, stress, hormones, nutrition, rest, and the other pieces that can influence how your body feels and functions. If you have Hashimoto's or hypothyroidism and you're tired of wondering whether you're doing the "right" thing, this episode will help you better understand your options and feel more empowered to find the approach that works for your body.

Ep. 182: New Hope for Relief from Interstitial Cystitis, Chronic UTIs, and Thyroid Issues with Heather Florio | IC Relief | Chronic UTIs | Bladder Pain | Desert Harvest | Aloe Vera | Hashimoto’s |
Aug 13, 202646 minS4
Are you struggling with recurrent UTIs, bladder pain, or interstitial cystitis and wondering why the symptoms keep coming back? Could aloe vera, hormone support, and new approaches to women’s pelvic health offer better options for UTI prevention and chronic bladder symptoms? In this episode, I’m joined by Heather Florio, CEO of Desert Harvest and a leading advocate for women’s pelvic health. We’re talking about a topic that affects so many women but often doesn’t get the attention it deserves: chronic bladder symptoms and interstitial cystitis. Heather explains why IC can feel so much like a UTI that never goes away, why women can spend years searching for the right diagnosis, and what newer research is teaching us about the different causes of bladder and pelvic pain. We also get nerdy about aloe vera and the research behind using it to support the bladder lining, including what makes certain forms of aloe different from what you might find at the grocery or health food store. Heather walks us through the connection between bladder health and hormones, why symptoms may become more common during menopause and post-menopause, and how declining estrogen may affect the tissues of the bladder and pelvic region. And we don’t stop at interstitial cystitis. We talk about recurrent UTIs, why D-mannose may not address every type of UTI-causing bacteria, and some of the newer research Heather and her team are exploring around lactoferrin, endometriosis, iron balance, Hashimoto’s, and thyroid health. If you’ve been dealing with chronic bladder symptoms, pelvic pain, hormonal changes, or recurring UTIs and feel like you’re still searching for answers, this conversation will give you some fascinating new things to explore.

Ep. 181: How HTMA Testing Can Take the Guesswork Out of Your Health Journey | HTMA Test | Mineral Testing | Mineral Balancing | Hashimoto’s | Hypothyroidism |
Jul 30, 202625 minS4
Have you been told your thyroid labs are "normal" but you still struggle with fatigue, brain fog, and weight gain? Could a Hair Tissue Mineral Analysis (HTMA) uncover hidden mineral imbalances that are keeping your Hashimoto's or hypothyroidism symptoms from improving? In this episode, I'm taking you through a real client success story so you can see exactly how I use HTMA testing to connect the dots between someone’s symptoms and what's really happening inside their body. We’ll go through where this client started, what her test results revealed, and why those findings helped explain years of frustrating symptoms despite her doing everything “right.” I break down the key mineral patterns we found in her HTMA results, explain how they manifested in her body, outline the optimal levels of certain minerals, and show you how we built a personalized plan based on her results rather than relying on guesswork. I also share why I believe testing is one of the most important steps for creating a targeted healing plan, especially when you're dealing with Hashimoto's or hypothyroidism. Finally, we go over her progress over several months, what changed on her retesting, and the lessons you can take away for your own health journey. With HTMA testing, this is what's possible when you stop chasing symptoms and start understanding what your body is trying to tell you. I hope this episode helps inspire you to take that first step toward taking the guesswork out of your health and start on your own path toward optimized health.
