The Health Class She Deserves

What's up ladies, welcome to class! I'm your host, Autumn Paone, here to have real, honest conversations about everything you should have learned in school about the female body but didn’t. From hormones to living cyclically to the stuff no one talks about, I'm breaking it all down so you can understand your body and actually work with it, not against it. If you’ve ever been told your pain is “just part of being a woman,” that your period problems are “normal,” or that the only solution is yet another round of hormonal birth control when it's failed you time and time again, you’ve been lied to. Let's call out the gaslighting, expose the BS, and expand education on women's health. Educated women = empowered women! This podcast is for you if you find yourself asking questions such as: What are the menstrual cycle phases? What is ovulation? How do I cycle sync? What else did they fail to mention in sex-e

  Healing Body Image: How Redirecting Your Attention Transforms Self-Love with Jessica Setnick

  Aug 18, 202652 min

  In this episode, top dietitian Jessica Setnick joins class to completely unravel how we view food, body image, and the mental frameworks that keep us in toxic relationships with eating. Jessica opens up about why she isn't a fan of the term "eating disorder" because it creates a rigid box that not everyone identifies with. Instead, she reframes these issues around disruptive or dysfunctional eating. Opening up that definition allows us to validate a much wider range of experiences that usually get swept under the rug just because they don't fit a clean-cut clinical diagnosis. We also dig into the mind-bending truth that our perception, not reality, is what dictates how we feel about something, and how much power we hold when we start directing our own attention. Jessica breaks down why "faking it 'til you make it" is actually a legitimate strategy, how whatever you focus on inevitably grows, and why learning to intentionally feel good in your body is a skill you can build. If you've ever felt like traditional labels don't capture your experience with food, or if you're ready to break free from the constant noise of diet culture and societal pressure, this conversation is going to be a huge lightbulb moment for you. In This Class, We Discuss: Rethinking the Labels: Why the term "eating disorder" can feel too limiting, and how viewing food struggles as disruptive or dysfunctional eating makes space for a bigger conversation. Perception Is Power: How your internal lens shapes your whole life and how to intentionally shift your attention so you stop feeding negative body thoughts. The Root Causes: The hidden ways early childhood memories, brain chemistry, and media messaging wire us to think about food. Actionable Healing: Practical steps to spot dysfunctional patterns in your routine and start building a genuinely peaceful relationship with eating. We cover so much in this episode, so get out your notebooks and get ready to have a breakthrough!

  What Even Is the Luteal Phase? Back to Basics on Hormone Health & Cycling with Megan Skinnell

  Aug 11, 202654 min

  In today’s episode, I am joined by registered nurse, health coach, and founder of Holsoma Health, Megan Skinnell. We're going back to basics on female hormone health and exposing the gaps in traditional education and healthcare. *Please note this episode was recorded before the recent name change of PCOS to PMOS . Megan opens up about her personal journey on both sides of the stethoscope, from working in traditional healthcare that was coming up short for female patients to experiencing her own issues struggling to get answers from her doctors. Now, part of her mission includes educating young girls and their moms about the female hormone cycle so that the next generation can understand their bodies better. We dive deep into why understanding your entire cycle (not just your period) is essential, what your hormones are doing throughout the month, how to optimize your hormone health, and how systemic healthcare barriers delay critical diagnoses like PMOS (formerly PCOS). In This Episode, We Discuss: The Cycle Misconception: Why equating your menstrual health solely with your period blinds us to crucial hormonal shifts happening throughout the entire month. The Female Hormone Cycle: What's actually happening throughout the month, why it's happening, how it might make you feel, and how to optimize it to truly be in the flow. Hormonal Birth Control: What actually happens to your body on synthetic hormones and why it isn't inherently "good" or "bad," just important to understand. Cervical Mucus: What cervical mucus is and how to understand it for better cyclical insights and a deeper understanding of your unique body. Fertility Beyond Reproduction: Why it's important to understand healthy ovulation and optimal fertility as a key indicator of overall health, not just for making babies.

  The Cost of Carrying it All: From Over-Functioning Eldest Daughter to Healed Hero with Adaku Mbagwu

  Jul 14, 202645 min

  We’ve been conditioned to think about the "eldest daughter syndrome" through the lens of internet memes and relatable TikToks. But the hyper-responsibility, the chronic over-functioning, and the inability to rest aren't just relatable jokes, but the deeply ingrained psychological aftermath of childhood parentification. In this episode, we sit down with Adaku Mbagwu, a dedicated First-Born Daughter Coach, to completely flip the script on what it means to grow up as the eldest girl. Adaku pulls from her own profound journey of hitting rock bottom, navigating childhood trauma, and doing the messy work of healing her relationship with her mother to provide a roadmap for the first-born daughters ready to reclaim their own lives. If you’ve felt overwhelmed by the constant pressure to hold everything together for everyone else, this conversation is the grounding, compassionate reality check you need. Adaku shares beautiful, realistic frameworks to help you navigate the guilt of setting boundaries and start living for yourself, without destroying your family bonds. In This Class, We Discuss: The Parentification of the Eldest Daughter: A deep dive into what happens when a young girl is forced into adult roles, and how that early survival mechanism manifests as anxiety and over-functioning. The Relationship Ripple Effect: How the instinct to be the family "fixer" unconsciously sabotages your adult romantic relationships, making you prone to over-giving. Dismantling Transactional Love: Breaking down the core limiting beliefs of first-born daughters, specifically the internal narrative that you must earn love and that your value is tied to your productivity. The Importance Pausing: Why slowing down feels actively unsafe for eldest daughters, and how to overcome the acute fear of rest. Navigating Boundary Guilt: Powerful mindsets for setting boundaries, and how to sit with the inevitable wave of guilt without backsliding. Healing the Mother-Daughter Bond: Adaku shares her personal journey of transformation, navigating the rock bottom necessary for change, and rebuilding a healthier relationship with her mother from a place of adult autonomy.

  Skin Health & The Restorative Power of Plants with Jodi Scott

  Jun 30, 202646 min

  We’ve been conditioned to think about skincare purely through the lens of cosmetics, anti-aging, aesthetics. But what if your skin isn’t just an outer covering, but an active, hyper-communicative extension of your nervous system? In this episode, we sit down with Jodi Scott , Co-founder and CEO of Green Goo , to completely flip the script on skin health. Jodi bridges the gap between clinical science and traditional herbalism, pulling from her pre-med roots and Master's in Health Psychology to explain why the skin is actually a major communicator in the body. We dive into endocrine disruptors (what even are they?), ingredients to add versus ones to avoid, and why whole-plant formulations hold a biological intelligence that isolated chemical extracts simply cannot replicate. If you’ve felt overwhelmed by the fear-mongering of hormone health online, this conversation is the grounding, science-forward reality check you need. Jodi shares beautiful, realistic, micro-habits to reclaim your skin health, and overall health, without overhauling your life. In This Class, We Discuss: The Embryonic Origin of Skin: How the skin and the nervous system both develop from the embryonic tissue, and how your skin is constantly communicating to the rest of the body. The Problem with Endocrine Disruptors: A non-alarmist breakdown of what chemicals like parabens, phthalates, and petroleums actually do to your body’s internal hormonal feedback loops. Ovarian Health is Longevity Health: Shifting the narrative away from ovaries as purely reproductive organs, and looking at them as foundational engines for a woman's lifelong vitality and long-term wellness. Whole-Plant Chemistry vs. Plant Extracts: The botanical science showing why utilizing the entire plant creates a more balanced, effective, and bioavailable response than synthetics or highly-processed extracts. The SHAMAN Framework: A simple, empowering acronym (Sleep, Hydration, Antioxidants, Mindfulness, Avoid, Nature) designed to help you integrate quiet, restorative micro-decisions into your daily flow.
