    Gratitude Through Growth: Catching Up with Sarah Beth Yoga

    Today brings a very special episode of Healing Hormones as I welcome back Sarah Beth of Sarah Beth Yoga a long SIX years after her first appearance on the show. Back then, her little one was just a baby, our businesses were in dramatically different places, and of course – I hadn’t become a mama yet myself. We share a really warm and expansive conversation as we connect dots from the past and look at where our progress might take us in the future. Sarah gets super personal in this one, telling us about a traumatic deck collapse experience and resulting PTSD, a confusing and dangerous ectopic pregnancy, the ups and downs that her business and family has gone through since we last spoke, and so much more. I’m glad we were able to connect like this again to illustrate a long term story of motherhood and doing your best in the world – other than my own!

    Dr. Alyssa Dweck Takes Us to School on Low Estrogen Symptoms, PMS & More

    Today on the show, I am talking to Dr. Alyssa Dweck, who is a practicing gynecologist and the chief medical officer of Bonafide Womens Health Supplements. An OB GYN for over twenty-five years with a special interest in menopausal health and training in female sexual health, she’s been all over TV and magazines as a top expert in her field. We talk a lot about low estrogen symptoms – what if you're experiencing these symptoms in your thirties? What do you need to be aware of when you're heading into perimenopause and menopause? And, where do postpartum hormone shifts fit into the equation? We also go deep on ways to eat to help support hormone balance, hormonal replacement therapy, lifestyle triggers (good and bad), and so much more. And of course, I ask the mega question of how OB GYNs are feeling about fertility awareness method and other natural cycle tracking options gaining traction in the space.

    Back to Nature: Learning About Ayurvedic Healing with Avanti Kumar-Singh, MD

    Today’s guest on Healing Hormones is Avanti Kumar-Singh, MD, a former ER doctor turned ayurvedic healer. Finding the ancient Indian medical practice after – you guessed it – experiencing her own health and wellness issues that traditional medicine could not address in a way that relieved her symptoms, she knew there had to be a better way. Ayurveda relies on a natural approach to physical and mental health; getting closer to nature is the goal. In this conversation, she gives us very practical tools of how we can start to implement its principles into our lives, simply, so that we can start to heal the body. We also talk about finding balance between ancient and modern practices, another common theme we hear on this podcast. In this respect, Dr. Singh’s is another voice that sings in those gray areas – because there really is no black and white when it comes to staying healthy.

    Healing Our Relationship with Food & Cooking with Tamar Samuels MS, RD, CDN

    Today’s guest is Tamar Samuels, a registered Dietitian Nutritionist, National Board Certified Health Coach, and the co-founder of Culina Health. In this episode, we talk a lot about how, when you're trying to heal the root cause of what's going on, whether it's gut issues, hormone health, thyroid disorders – really, whatever it is – it can cause us to have a lot of disordered eating tendencies and black-and-white thinking that actually ends up doing a lot more harm than good. We talk about the benefits of eating the rainbow and dig into some practical things you can do to get out of a disordered eating mindset and choose foods that are going to be healing of inflammation, balancing for hormones, and helpful for the thyroid. Tamar also shares some resources that you can look into if you are looking for additional professional support.

    Honoring Our Cycle Through Sustainable Fitness with Courtney Babilya

    Today on the show, I am talking to Courtney Babilya, who is a fitness nurse and mom of two on a mission to help women find their way out of diet culture, and back into their power, through sustainable fitness and cyclical living. We talk about her difficult rock bottom, complicated further by a misdiagnosis of bipolar syndrome and some challenging reactions to the medications she was prescribed. Constantly fighting her own body with overtraining and an eating disorder, something had to change. Her success story is as inspiring as it is educational.  Of course we touch on her experience with different birth control measures, from a “lost” arm implant to an immediate decision to ditch her NuvaRing. Today’s most important and most actionable advice, though, comes in the form of Courtney’s 2022-proof fitness routines, and how we can and should be considering our cycle when planning out our workouts. There’s no shame in this game; being active, healthy, and fit does not mean being in the gym everyday. NEW! Starting October 10th – Courtney and I are launching a special bundle, combining LUNA with the Keeping Balance Method for a single low price. My listeners are the first to know, and you can sign up and join the waitlist right now.
