    Episode 17: Navigating Blood Work and Reclaiming Your Health with Katy Whalen

    Send a text In this episode, host Erin Martin sits down with Katy Whalen, the Co-Founder and CEO of Joi + Blokes Wellness, to uncover the science and stories behind women’s hormonal health. Katy opens up about her own journey, navigating the emotional and physical toll of IVF and pregnancy in her 40s, and then feeling abandoned by the system. Struggling with debilitating anxiety and fatigue, Katy took her health into her own hands, eventually launching a personalized wellness platform to help others get to the root cause of their symptoms. The conversation dives deep into the essential role of comprehensive blood work, explaining why normal lab results often fall short of helping women feel optimal. Katy breaks down the complexities of Hormone Replacement Therapy (HRT), debunking common myths surrounding estrogen and progesterone while highlighting how testosterone is often the missing piece for mental clarity and sleep. Beyond basic hormones, Katy explains the cutting-edge benefits of peptides—which she calls the "icing on the cake" for gut health and tissue repair—and discusses the emerging trend of microdosing GLP-1s for metabolic health.  Whether you are white-knuckling through motherhood, struggling with sudden brain fog, or simply feeling like you aren’t yourself anymore, this episode is a masterclass in many health issues we face as women.

    Episode 15: Navigating Cancer Risks and Genetic Testing with Christa Nenaber

    Send us a text What does it take to truly pivot when life throws a curveball? In this episode we’re joined by my good friend Christa Nenaber, who opens up about her deeply personal path through a generational battle with cancer. After watching her mother and grandmother face aggressive diagnoses, Christa discovered that she carried the BRCA1 genetic mutation at 25, a marker that substantially shifted her risk of breast and ovarian cancer. Our conversation is a raw look at the grit and grace Christa had to build a life on your own terms. We dive into the difficult emotional layers of her choice to undergo a preventative full hysterectomy and oophorectomy at just 27 years old, followed by a double mastectomy later in life, and the the complex conversations with family about future planning and the hope that her choice stops the cycle of this news for the next generation.  Whether you are navigating a health crisis or looking for the spark to become your own best advocate, Christa’s insights on finding your voice and choosing empowerment over fear will leave you ready to take your next big step.
