    In this empowering episode of Confidently Balance Your Hormones, Dee Davidson sits down with Ashley Selman — former NCAA Track & Field Champion, leading fitness trainer, and founder of SELI Strength — to explore why muscle is one of the most powerful longevity and hormone-support tools available to women in midlife.

    Healing You: How Thoughts, Energy, and Beliefs Affect Hormones & Health — Guest Dr. Sharnael Wolverton Sehon

    In this powerful episode of the Confidently Balance Your Hormones podcast, host Dee Davidson, FDN-P, unpacks the deeper connection between clear thinking, energy, and physical health with special guest Dr. Sharnael Wolverton Sehon. Dr. Sharnael—naturopathic doctor, quantum scientist, theologian, and author of The Science of Miracles: RE-Membering the Frequency of Love—shares her personal journey through significant health challenges and how it led her to a global mission of conscious, whole-person healing. Together, we explore how thoughts, emotions, beliefs, and daily choices directly influence hormones, symptoms, and overall vitality. We discuss how even seemingly small inputs—like chronic stress, subconscious beliefs, or casual alcohol consumption—can cloud our energy, dull mental clarity, and impact decision-making in ways we don’t always connect to our health. Dr. Sharnael unpacks the role of energy, frequency, and intention in healing and explains how reconnecting with your body’s innate wisdom can lead to more aligned choices, clearer thinking, and sustainable well-being. You’ll walk away with practical tools to raise your vibration, improve mind-body awareness, and support healing from the inside out. Having worked with over 15,000 clients across 51 countries, Dr. Sharnael brings a unique blend of science, spirituality, and lived experience that will expand how you think about hormones, health, and what’s truly possible for your body. This is an inspiring conversation for anyone ready to move beyond symptom management and step into greater clarity, consciousness, and whole-health alignment.

    HTMA: A Midlife Check-In for Burnout, Energy & Resilience- Guest Raewyn Guerrero

    In this episode of Confidently Balance Your Hormones, Dee Davidson is joined by fellow Functional Diagnostic Nutrition Practitioner and executive wellness coach Raewyn Guerrero for a powerful conversation on why so many women hit a wall in midlife—and why minerals may be the missing link. Burnout in your 40s and beyond doesn’t come out of nowhere. Years of stress, under-fueling, over-giving, hormone shifts, and “pushing through” quietly deplete the body’s mineral reserves. Dee and Raewyn explain why midlife is often the moment when the body can no longer compensate—and symptoms like fatigue, anxiety, poor sleep, weight resistance, brain fog, and hormone chaos begin to surface. This episode dives into Hair Tissue Mineral Analysis (HTMA) as a simple yet profound check-in tool for midlife women. Often referred to as the body’s spark plugs, minerals drive energy production, nervous system balance, hormone signaling, and detox pathways. When minerals are depleted or imbalanced, nothing fires efficiently—no matter how “healthy” you’re eating or how many supplements you’re taking. Together, Dee and Raewyn discuss: Why burnout hits differently in midlifeHow chronic stress reshapes mineral patterns over timeWhat HTMA reveals that blood work often missesWhy minerals are foundational for hormone balance and nervous system resilienceHow rebuilding mineral status creates capacity to heal instead of just copeIf you’re a woman who feels like what used to work no longer does, this episode offers clarity, validation, and a grounded next step. Midlife isn’t a breakdown—it’s often the body asking for a deeper, more personalized approach. 🎧 Tune in to learn how understanding your mineral status can help you move from burnout to resilience—starting at the cellular level.
