This week on The Dallas Duo Podcast, Andrea and Whitney chat with Allie Wardlaw and Bess Callarman, founders of Dallas-based jewelry brand Allie & Bess, to talk about turning a creative outlet into a fast-growing, community-driven business; without investors, a business background, and just $50 to start.

    Low Ferritin Isn’t “Just Anemia” - The Gut Health Piece Most Women Miss

    If you’ve been told your labs are “normal” but you’re still exhausted, bloated, constipated, or losing hair, this episode is for you! On this week’s Dallas Duo Podcast, we chat with Dr. Heather Finley, a Dallas-based gut health dietitian and iron expert, to unpack why so many women struggle with low ferritin, fatigue, and gut symptoms, and why iron supplements alone often don’t fix the problem. Dr. Finley explains the critical (and often missed) connection between iron storage, mineral balance, gut infections, and digestion, and why conventional approaches frequently overlook the root cause. From H. pylori and parasites to low stomach acid and mineral imbalances, this conversation sheds light on why women can feel “off” for years despite doing everything right. In this episode, we cover: The difference between iron and ferritin (and why it matters)Why low ferritin is often misdiagnosed as anemiaHow gut infections like H. pylori and parasites impact iron absorptionWhy iron supplements can worsen symptoms for some womenThe role of minerals, stomach acid, and stress in iron utilizationWhen elimination diets help — and when they make things worseWhat labs and testing to ask for if fatigue persistsThis episode is equal parts educational and empowering — reminding women that just because symptoms are common doesn’t mean they’re normal, and that feeling better often requires looking deeper, not harder. 🎧 Listen now to understand what your body may be trying to tell you, and why better answers exist. ✨ About our guest: Dr. Heather Finley is a Dallas-based gut health dietitian known for helping women resolve bloating, constipation, fatigue, and iron issues by addressing the root cause. She is also the host of the Love Your Gut podcast.

    Acupuncture, Hormones & Women’s Health with Dr. Mason Martinez L.Ac. DACM

    Acupuncture isn’t woo-woo, and this week’s guest explains why! We’re sitting down with Dr. Mason Martinez, DACM, L.Ac., integrative women’s health specialist and founder of Totality Holistics in Dallas, for a refreshingly grounded conversation about fertility, hormone balance, stress, acupuncture, and why joy may be one of the most underrated tools for reproductive health. Dr. Martinez breaks down the science behind acupuncture, how it regulates the nervous system, increases blood flow, and supports fertility outcomes (including during IVF). She shares the biggest myths she wishes people would stop believing, how she collaborates with other women’s health practitioners, and why more women are seeking holistic care long before hitting a diagnosis of “infertility.” We also dive into: • What a first acupuncture visit actually looks like • The role of happiness, ease, and daily habits in reproductive wellness • The tongue + pulse diagnostic methods you’ve never heard of • Why so many women feel dismissed by conventional providers • How to know if you're a good candidate for acupuncture • Ear seeds (and why everyone wanted them at Whitness Wellness!) If you’re navigating fertility, thinking about conception, or simply want a deeper understanding of how acupuncture supports total-body wellness, this conversation is a must-listen. 📲 Connect with Dr. Mason Martinez: Website: https://totalityholistics.com/chinese-medicine Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/dr.masonmartinez 📲 Connect with The Dallas Duo: Andrea Overturf: @andreaaoverturf Whitney Stuart, RDN: @whitnessnutrition 🌐 Learn more at: The Dallas Duo Podcast  👉 Don’t forget to subscribe, rate, and share this episode with a friend who could use a boost of wellness inspiration! #womenshealth #fertility #perimenopause #womenswellness #acupuncture #chinesemedicine #hormonehealth
