And now she's bringing their stories, and their wisdom, to you.

    From PCOS and Endometriosis to a Healthy Pregnancy

    Dr. Morgan Hope looked like the picture of health. A college athlete, always active, the friend everyone called the "health nut." But behind the scenes, she was cycling through antibiotics for months at a time, managing skin issues with prescription creams, and relying on birth control just to get through the pain of her own periods. Then she came off the pill after nearly a decade, and everything she'd been suppressing came back at once, worse than before. Doctors in her early twenties offered her one solution: a hysterectomy. On this episode of the Practitioners RISE Podcast, host Hailey Krajewski sits down with Dr. Morgan Hope, a perinatal and pediatric chiropractor at The Wellness Way in Eau Claire, Wisconsin, to talk about hormones, fertility, and what it actually took to heal her body instead of just managing it. You'll learn: What actually happens in your body when you stop long-term birth control, and why symptoms can return worse than before Why Morgan refused to accept a hysterectomy as her only option in her early twenties, and what she did instead Whether surgery is ever truly necessary for endometriosis and PCOS, and how to think through that decision if you're facing it The everyday chemicals hiding in your food and personal care products that most families have never been warned about Why your baby's colic might be a nervous system issue, not something you just have to wait out How Morgan went from being told she might never carry a baby to a healthy, medication-free pregnancy If you've followed Morgan's healing journey online, some of this story might sound familiar, but this conversation goes deeper into the hormone piece specifically, and what she'd tell every woman considering long-term birth control before she started it herself.

    ADHD and Anxiety in Kids: Nervous System Root Causes

    Dr. Sophia Duarte spent her childhood cycling through hospital visits, prescriptions, and side effects that seemed to multiply on their own. Five medications, each one treating what the last one caused, and nobody ever connected any of it back to her nervous system. It took a rejected physical therapy application and one chiropractor's offhand comment to send her down a completely different path. On this episode of the Practitioners RISE Podcast, host Hailey Krajewski sits down with Dr. Sophia Duarte, founder of Radiant Chiropractic in Charleston, South Carolina, to talk about the nervous system, childhood labels, and what families are missing when they're only treating symptoms. We talk about: Why she was hospitalized four times in a single month as a kid, and what nobody thought to check What her own birth may have had to do with decades of health struggles The moment she decided to come off her anxiety medication for good Why she doesn't look at an ADHD or anxiety label when a family walks into her office What a subluxation actually is, explained through a dimmer switch What she wants every mom to hear before she starts questioning herself If you've already read up on nervous system regulation or chiropractic care, there's still a personal story here you haven't heard. And if this is all brand new, Dr. Sophia breaks it down in a way that's easy to follow, no matter where you're starting from.

    Celiac, Crohn's, Lyme, and Healing Through Food

    Tammie Delveaux was diagnosed with celiac disease in 2018, then Crohn's disease and ankylosing spondylitis in 2020, after a decade of pain no one could explain. Lyme disease, mold toxicity, and a double hip replacement followed. She built her practice, Belly Love Holistic Wellness, out of the years it took to find what was driving all of it. One dietary shift, paired with testing most doctors never run, changed nearly everything for her, though she is quick to say healing was not a straight line. On this episode of the Practitioners RISE Podcast, host Hailey Krajewski sits down with Tammie Delveaux, a Functional Nutritional Therapy Practitioner and founder of Belly Love Holistic Wellness, to talk about autoimmune disease, gut healing, and what it takes to find a root cause instead of another prescription. We talk about: The specific food she cut that stopped ten years of pain in two weeks Why she believes mold sits behind more autoimmune diagnoses than most doctors realize, including her own Why she tests with a wheat zoomer and a GI map instead of relying on standard bloodwork Why she teaches clients to count nutrients instead of calories Her plans for a celiac-safe community kitchen, funded by a 2026 grant If you have followed Tammie's story before, you already know pieces of this journey, but there is more here than a highlight reel. This conversation goes into the specific tests, the specific triggers, and the specific steps that got her from bedridden to building a practice that helps hundreds of families do the same. Find Tammie at Belly Love Holistic Wellness, bellyloveholisticwellness.com, and through her Happy Belly Foodies cooking classes for the Chippewa Valley community.

    Your Body Grew a Human: Prenatal Yoga, the Fourth Trimester, and the Truth About Bouncing Back

    Mary Anne Tillotson had a hysterectomy at 31. She's never given birth, and yet, she's built her entire career around guiding women through pregnancy, labor, and the fourth trimester. It started with a simple request from a friend in 2021 — one Mary Anne almost turned down because she felt completely unqualified to say yes. On this episode of the Practitioners RISE Podcast, host Hailey Krajewski sits down with Mary Anne Tillotson, registered prenatal yoga teacher, NASM-certified personal trainer, and founder of The Bump Collective in Belmont, North Carolina, to talk about pregnancy, postpartum identity, and why "bouncing back" might be the wrong goal entirely. We talk about: What led Mary Anne to a hysterectomy at 31, and how that same year reshaped everything she thought her future would look like Why she says she was "terrified" to teach something she'd never personally experienced, and what changed her mind The pregnancy prep habit she thinks distracts parents from what actually matters in those final months Why she pushes back hard on the phrase "bouncing back" after birth, and what she believes happens to a woman's body and identity instead The one thing she wishes people would offer new parents instead of "let me know if you need anything" What inspired her upcoming book, and the four pillars it's built around If you've heard pieces of Mary Anne's story before, this conversation goes further into the parts most people don't ask about, from the professional path she left behind to the community model she's now built from scratch.

    Hormones, Fertility, and Vaginal Health: The Myths, Root Cause, and What No One Else Is Telling You

    "It's just hormones." Most women have heard some version of that. Maybe you've said it about yourself. But what if the brain fog, the fatigue, the painful periods, the trouble conceiving, or the infection that keeps coming back are pointing to something deeper? In this episode, I'm joined by Jamie Wilcox and Vallie Aris, two Traditional Chinese Medicine practitioners from Eau Claire Acupuncture who spend their days helping women find the root cause behind hormone imbalances, fertility struggles, and the symptoms so many of us have been told are just part of being a woman. A few of the things we get into: Why birth control can make a cycle look regular without making it function normally What's really behind the decline in fertility, including the male side of the story that usually gets left out The everyday toxins that interfere with hormones and conception The patterns that show a woman's body has been asking for help for years Savvy Vagi, Vallie's program for vaginal health, recurring infections, and the microbiome most providers never test for If you've ever been told your symptoms are "normal" and left it there, this one is worth your time.

    From 4 panic attacks a day to zero: The Missing Link Between Anxiety, Nutrition & Brain Health

    In this powerful episode of Practitioners Rise, I sit down with Board Certified Holistic Nutritionist, Level II Certified Nutrition Recovery Coach, Amen Clinics Certified Brain Health Professional, and founder of Sycamore and Sage Nutrition, Jayne Reynolds, for a conversation that reframes anxiety, panic attacks, and mental health. Before helping others heal, Jayne was experiencing three to four panic attacks a day, ending up in the ER convinced she was having heart attacks, unable to work, parent, or function normally — despite doing everything she had been told to do. Doctors. Medication. Counseling. Nothing was working. It wasn’t until someone finally started asking why that everything began to shift. Together, Hailey and Jayne explore: The hidden physical root causes that can contribute to anxiety Blood sugar instability and panic symptoms Gut health, mold exposure, hormones, thyroid function & neurotransmitters Why mental health symptoms are often deeply connected to the body The limitations of symptom-only treatment approaches Small, sustainable changes that support healing The powerful reframe that “your brain may not be broken” This episode is validating, hopeful, and incredibly eye-opening for anyone who has felt dismissed, stuck, or quietly wondering if there’s something deeper going on beneath their symptoms.

    Becky Witt – Finding the Root Cause After Two Cancer Diagnoses: Gut Health and Toxin-Free Living

    Most of us have been taught to treat symptoms instead of asking why they're happening in the first place. When today's guest was diagnosed with cancer at just 28 years old—and then again only two years later—she refused to accept that it was simply "bad luck." That question led her down a path that completely changed not only her own health, but the lives of thousands of families she now serves through functional medicine. In this conversation, I sit down with Becky Witt, founder of Wholistic Nutrition, to explore what it really means to heal from the inside out. We dive into the powerful connection between gut health, toxins, nutrition, and chronic symptoms that so many people have been told are simply "normal." We also share our own experiences navigating childhood eczema, food sensitivities, and the overwhelming journey of trying to find answers when conventional medicine leaves you feeling stuck. Whether you're dealing with fatigue, bloating, autoimmune symptoms, hormonal imbalances, digestive issues, or you're simply looking to create a healthier home for your family, this episode is filled with practical, hope-filled insights that remind us healing doesn't happen overnight—but it is possible. In this episode, we discuss: • Becky's personal journey through two cancer diagnoses and the questions that changed everything • Why gut health is the foundation of healing • The surprising role bile plays in digestion, hormones, and detoxification • Why eczema is often a sign of deeper gut dysfunction—not simply a skin condition • Common symptoms we've been taught to normalize (that actually aren't normal) • How toxins, fragrances, and everyday household products can impact our health • Why organic food matters and what to prioritize if you're on a budget • Simple, realistic swaps to reduce your family's toxic load without feeling overwhelmed • How functional medicine helps uncover root causes instead of masking symptoms • Why healing is a journey—and why small, consistent changes create lasting results If you've ever wondered whether there's another way to support your health beyond managing symptoms, this conversation will leave you feeling informed, encouraged, and hopeful that your body was designed to heal when given the right support.

    When the Path Stops Nourishing You: Self-Love, Breathwork, and Choosing Yourself

    What happens when the career you worked so hard to build starts to feel like a cage? For Kelli Cook — nurse practitioner, RYT 200 yoga instructor, and founder of The Yoga Plant in Chippewa Falls — the answer came down to one thing: self-love. And choosing a path that wasn't nourishing her wasn't it. In this episode, Kelli shares the story of walking away from conventional western medicine, what it felt like to be in a system she couldn't fully stand behind, and how getting laid off turned out to be exactly the push she needed. She talks about the 14-year transformation that led her to open The Yoga Plant, move into functional medicine, and build a practice rooted in the mind-body-spirit connection she always knew mattered. But this episode isn't just about a career pivot. Kelli gets practical too. She's a busy mom of four running a studio and a functional medicine practice, and she talks about why underscheduling is her biggest power move, why 15 minutes counts even when it doesn't feel like enough, and how to stop waiting for self-care to look a certain way before you let yourself have it. She also breaks down breathwork in a way that's easy to take home with you — what's happening in your body when you breathe with intention, how a simple box breath can quiet a chaotic mind, and why the words you pair with your breath carry more weight than most people realize. If you've ever felt like the path you're on stopped feeling like yours, this episode is worth a listen.
