    I Trained for an Ironman. Healing Was Harder. Ep. 107

    There’s something surprising I’ve learned from two very different journeys in my life. Training for an Ironman triathlon and healing from chronic illness have far more in common than most people realize. In this episode, I’m breaking down the unexpected parallels I’ve noticed between pushing my body through one of the world’s toughest endurance events and navigating my own healing journey with endometriosis and chronic health challenges. What I’ve come to understand is this. Healing isn’t always about doing more. Sometimes you can be eating well, taking the supplements, working with the right practitioners, doing everything “right” and still feel completely stuck. Why? Because healing often requires more than physical protocols. It requires looking at the subconscious patterns, identity shifts, emotional protection mechanisms, and deeper internal conflicts that may be keeping your body exactly where it is. Inside this episode, we talk about: • Why healing can feel harder than even extreme physical training• The subconscious patterns that may be blocking progress• Why your body may be protecting you, not working against you• The identity shifts required for true transformation• How chronic symptoms can sometimes reveal deeper lessons your body is asking you to pay attention to If you’ve been doing everything you can to heal and still feel like you’re spinning your wheels, this conversation might help you see your journey through a completely different lens. Sometimes the next step in healing isn’t doing more. It’s understanding what your body has been trying to tell you all along. And if this episode resonated with you, especially if you feel like you’ve been doing all the right things for your health but still aren’t seeing the progress you know is possible, I put together a free training that walks through what I believe are the four biggest keys to reversing chronic illness and truly optimizing your health. Because sometimes the missing piece isn’t doing more. It’s understanding what your body actually needs in order to heal. You can watch that free training here. ....

    Lessons From Being Afraid of Being an Inconvenience Ep. 106

    This may be hard to hear, but the reason you haven't found solutions for your chronic symptoms isn't because you need another diagnosis, supplement, or protocol. You can chase those all day long but what you really need is clarity. Clarity and a roadmap that's specific to you. And you don't get those from labs, supplements, and diet changes alone. Do they help? Yes. But when they aren't the full solution, like they weren't for me and many of my clients, you have to start asking better questions and going deeper. Inside this episode you'll learn: Why the pattern that's quietly running your life might have nothing to do with your health... and also everything to do with itWhat it looks like when you finally identify the real root of what's been holding you back (hint: it shows up in more than one area of your life at once)How one shift in awareness can make the actions you've been forcing yourself to take suddenly feel automatic and effortlessWhy staying where you are isn't neutral and the question that will finally show you what it's actually costing you Work with Dr. Kirstin: Book a discovery call → DM on Instagram → @drkirstin Start with a Hair Tissue Mineral Analysis plus 90-minute deep dive consultation with Dr. K to see what your body has been carrying and how to get your body what it actually needs in order to start feeling better.

    What transformational medicine actually looks like (and how to start now) Ep. 105

    We've been sold a story about transformation (and honestly trying to heal from chronic health issues) that sets us up to feel like we're failing when we're actually just in the middle of it. This is what healing and transformational journeys really look like. In this episode: A series recap: discipline, the control trap, protection patterns, identity, triggers, secondary gain, and the body-mind as one system all brought togetherWhat transformation actually looks like when it's working: not a dramatic overnight shift, but quieter signs like pausing before reacting, resting without guilt, hard conversations feeling manageable, energy that doesn't feel fragileWhy real change takes 3–6 months (or longer) not because you're slow, but because you're changing a nervous system, an identity, and a body that's been running on survival modeHow the mindset and body pieces work together at the same timeThe 6-month VIP container: for women who want to go deeper, with additional lab testing beyond HTMA and more runway for transformationThe motivated client who hits the ground running are the ones taking action today"You're not just changing a habit. You're changing a nervous system. You're changing an identity. You're changing a body that has been running on survival mode, sometimes for years." — Dr. Kirstin Lauritzen Mentioned in this episode: Everything Is Connected: Dr. Kirstin's 3-month container — mindset and body work addressed simultaneously6-month VIP container: deeper work with additional lab testing beyond HTMA for women who need more runwayHTMA (Hair Tissue Mineral Analysis): order yours now so results and a roadmap are ready for JuneNLP + functional medicine: the combination that makes transformation actually stickWork with Dr. Kirstin:Book a discovery call → drkirstin.comDM on Instagram → @drkirstin Start with a Hair Tissue Mineral Analysis plus 90-minute deep dive consultation with Dr. K to see what your body has been carrying and how to get your body what it actually needs in order to start feeling better.

    The hard truth: why part of you is loyal to the problem Ep. 104

    "The fact that part of you is loyal to the problem doesn't mean you're broken. It means you're human. And it means the work is deeper than behavior change." This one was really hard for me to hear when I was suffering with health issues and migraines, but it unlocked some major areas that lead to deep healing and relief. The question to start asking begins here: what would actually change in your life if the problem went away? Not the obvious answer (like well I'd be pain free and I'd get my life back), the real one. Because sometimes the answer reveals something we weren't expecting. In this episode: What "secondary gain" is and why every problem, even the ones you genuinely want to be free of, is doing something for youReal examples: how chronic fatigue gives permission to rest, how staying stuck becomes an excuse not to face what you actually want, how familiar patterns feel safer than real vulnerabilityThe question that cuts through it all: what would you have no excuse not to go after if this problem disappeared?Why secondary gain isn't a character flaw, it's a brilliant, unconscious survival strategy that found a way to meet a real needHow to stop sabotaging yourself at the threshold and understanding what the problem has been doing for you so you don't have to keep paying such a high price for itWhy loyalty to the problem can be biological: how the nervous system keeps you in familiar patterns because change feels like a threat Mentioned in this episode: Secondary gain: a concept from psychology and NLP - the idea that every pattern, even unwanted ones, is meeting a need somewhere in the systemNLP (Neuro-Linguistic Programming): uncovering the highest intention behind a pattern, honoring it, and finding a new path to meet that needFunctional medicine + nervous system work: addressing the biological side of loyalty to familiar patterns, because sometimes the resistance is physiological, not just psychologicalWork with Dr. Kirstin:Book a discovery call → drkirstin.comDM on Instagram → @drkirstin Start with a Hair Tissue Mineral Analysis plus 90-minute deep dive consultation with Dr. K to see what your body has been carrying and how to get your body what it actually needs in order to start feeling better.

    Why your body is keeping you stuck (and why you're struggling to heal) Ep. 103

    The anxiety you've been managing, the brain fog you've been pushing through, the exhaustion that no amount of sleep seems to fix are all your body's way of trying to communicate with you. Are you listening? In this episode: Why so many women are still struggling after therapy, programs, and doing all the right things and what's actually being missedWhat an HTMA reveals about the physical picture underneath anxiety, mood swings, and brain fog: magnesium, zinc, copper toxicity, thyroid, adrenals, and moreWhy copper toxicity can mimic anxiety and estrogen dominance and why no one connected it to the physical picture"You cannot out-think a calcium shell" and why mindset work alone has a ceiling when the body's foundation is depletedHow the physical work and the identity/nervous system work feed each other "You cannot out-think a calcium shell. You cannot meditate your way to zinc repletion. The body and the mind are one system. And when we only treat one, we leave the other behind." — Dr. Kirstin Lauritzen Work with Dr. Kirstin:Book a discovery call → drkirstin.comDM on Instagram → @drkirstin Start with a Hair Tissue Mineral Analysis plus 90-minute deep dive consultation with Dr. K to see what your body has been carrying and how to get your body what it actually needs in order to start feeling better.

    What your triggers are actually trying to tell you Ep. 102

    Is there someone or something in your life that just gets under your skin? No matter how much you think about it, talk about it, or try to "change" it - you just still get the same feeling/reaction every time. Another way to think about triggers, is less of thinking about them as a "problem" and more of an opportunity to get curious. In this episode: The Carl Jung principle that reframes everything you find irritating about other people"Perception is projection" and what it reveals about the patterns you haven't fully looked at yetA real client story: how a trigger that looked like jealousy was actually a deeply held belief about who gets to have ease and successThe shift from "why do they do that" to "where do I do that too" and why it's one of the fastest ways to change your patterns and transform your lifeWhy a dysregulated nervous system makes your triggers louder: how depleted minerals and imbalanced hormones reduce emotional regulation before your conscious mind even has a chance to catch up"Everything that irritates us about others can lead us to an understanding of ourselves." — Carl Jung Work with Dr. Kirstin:Book a discovery call → drkirstin.comDM on Instagram → @drkirstin Start with a Hair Tissue Mineral Analysis plus 90-minute deep dive consultation with Dr. K to see what your body has been carrying and how to get your body what it actually needs in order to start feeling better.

    Change at the identity level is essential for healing chronic pain & health issues Ep. 101

    The clients of mine that heal from chronic pain and health issues are the ones who are able to transform into a better version of themselves. That's how they get out of the "gap". They finally understood that the person they were was the one that played a part or role in some way in creating the chronic health issues they had and that to finally heal they would need to change at the root, identity level. In this episode: Why results only stick when they match who your nervous system believes you are not just what you're working towardWhat's really happening when progress suddenly stalls: the identity gap between who you're becoming and who your unconscious has "on file"Why the nervous system pulls you back to familiar, not because familiar is good, but because it's knownHow "being the sick one" or "being the tired one" can quietly become part of your identity and why getting well means letting go of a story that's been organizing your lifeWhy awareness alone isn't enough to change deep patterns, and what it actually takes to rewire at the identity level"You will only sustain results that match who you believe yourself to be. Not what you want. Not what you're working toward. Who you believe you are right now." — Dr. Kirstin Lauritzen Work with Dr. Kirstin:Book a discovery call → drkirstin.comDM on Instagram → @drkirstin Start with a Hair Tissue Mineral Analysis plus 90-minute deep dive consultation with Dr. K to see what your body has been carrying and how to get your body what it actually needs in order to start feeling better.

    It's not self-sabotage... It's protection Ep. 100

    Have you ever gotten close to what you wanted only to see it seem to fall apart or pull away? You start to make progress losing weight and then somehow the momentum fades. You finally seem to have found something that's working for your chronic pain and health issues only to not completely follow through. I know it can seem like that part of you is the enemy, but what if the part of you that keeps pulling back, shutting down, going quiet right when things start to get good, what if it isn't your enemy and actually a part that's trying to protect you? In this episode: Why "self-sabotage" is the wrong word and what's actually happening beneath the patternThe NLP concept that reframes every behavior that seems to be working against youHow protection shows up in your physiology: what low sodium, low potassium, and high calcium on an HTMA actually meanWhy your nervous system might be creating fatigue, brain fog, and resistance, not because you don't want it enough, but because "go" doesn't feel safeHow to stop fighting yourself and start getting curious about what your patterns are really protecting you from Mentioned in this episode: HTMA (Hair Tissue Mineral Analysis): a functional lab test that shows years of nervous system stress patterns stored in the body, including the minerals of forward movement, action, and vitalityNLP (Neuro-Linguistic Programming): the framework that every behavior has a positive intention underneath, even the ones that seem to be holding you backFunctional medicine + nutritional work: addressing the physical side of protection patterns, not just the mindsetWork with Dr. Kirstin:Book a discovery call → drkirstin.comDM on Instagram → @drkirstin Start with a Hair Tissue Mineral Analysis plus 90-minute deep dive consultation with Dr. K to see what your body has been carrying and how to get your body what it actually needs in order to start feeling better.
