  1. My Biggest Health Mistakes: What I'd Do Differently If I Could Start Over

    My Biggest Health Mistakes: What I'd Do Differently If I Could Start Over

    If I could go back to the beginning of my health journey, I would do things very differently. I honestly made things a lot harder than they needed to be. For a long time, I thought healing meant doing more. More supplements, more routines, more restriction, more effort and constantly trying to optimize everything. But looking back, a lot of that was just adding stress to a system that was already majorly stressed. In this episode, I'm walking you through the biggest shifts that actually made a difference in my healing and the things I had to stop doing in order to finally feel better. If you feel like you're putting in so much effort and still not getting the results you want in your health, this one will help you create a better wellness strategy.   Resources: • Which lab test is best for you? → • Get functional lab testing → • Follow along on Instagram →   In this episode: 01:06 – Finding balance as a working mom  03:35 – Looking back on my healing journey 05:56 – Why doing more didn't help me heal faster 07:17 – Simplifying everything 10:38 – Personalizing the "checklist" 12:40 – How functional lab testing helped me 14:40 – Back to the basics 18:06 – Leaning into a more natural life 19:57 – More advanced protocols 21:05 – Phasing out your health plan 22:30 – A real supplements strategy 25:23 – Using my current labs to create a targeted plan 26:35 – Noah joins us 😌 27:55 – Building a life that actually supports your health 29:19 – Nervous system support and slowing down   I'm so grateful to have you here, friend.

  2. Post-Birth Control Recovery: What's Normal, What's Not, and How to Support Hormone Balance

    APR 24

    Post-Birth Control Recovery: What's Normal, What's Not, and How to Support Hormone Balance

    In this episode, I'm breaking down what actually happens in your body on birth control and what it looks like to come off of it. Birth control is often presented as a quick fix for things like acne, PMS, irregular cycles, or menstrual pain (among other things). But what's rarely explained is that it doesn't actually resolve those issues — it suppresses your natural hormone cycle. So when you come off, your body has to relearn how to do all of that on its own again. We talk about what's actually normal during that transition, what symptoms are a sign your body needs more support, and what a realistic recovery timeline looks like.    Resources: • Which lab test is best for you? → • Get functional lab testing → • Follow along on Instagram →   In this episode: 01:05 – A little life update 05:28 – Why birth control is so commonly prescribed 11:31 – What it's actually doing in your body 13:23 – Why menstruating is so important for your health 15:05 – What happens when you come off 17:25 – What's normal in the first few months 18:57 – A realistic recovery timeline  19:29 – Signs your body is struggling to recover 21:28 – Will your old symptoms return post-birth control? 24:33 – When to get off birth control before pregnancy 28:09 – Common mistakes that slow recovery 32:17 – What actually supports recovery 33:51 – Taking a more proactive approach   I'm so grateful to have you here, friend.

  3. Stress in Your Body: Its Physical Connection with Your Gut, Hormones, Metabolism, Energy, and Overall Health

    APR 17

    Stress in Your Body: Its Physical Connection with Your Gut, Hormones, Metabolism, Energy, and Overall Health

    In this episode, I'm talking about something I don't think we talk about enough in the health space: the overwhelming pressure to optimize everything. Your morning routine, your supplements, your workouts, your nutrition and at a certain point, your health becomes just another thing (or many things) on your to-do list. From what I've seen, that's exactly where things start to break down. Because even if everything looks good on paper, your body still needs the capacity to respond. When your system is overwhelmed (whether that's from mental stress, physiological stress, or both) that's going to impact you. We get into what it really looks like to support your system in a way that's sustainable and actually works in real life.   Resources: • Which lab test is best for you? → • Get functional lab testing → • Follow along on Instagram →   In this episode: 01:06 – Stripping down to the basics 05:21 – The pressure to "optimize" 07:43 – Mental stress 10:26 – Physical stress 11:51 – What drives your stress response 13:15 – The HPA axis and cortisol 14:48 – High vs low cortisol patterns 17:56 – Stress and the gut-brain connection 20:42 – The downstream effects of stress 26:24 – Common mistakes slowing progress 30:03 – What actually supports your body 33:40 – A sustainable approach to healing   I'm so grateful to have you here, friend.

    Hidden Toxins at Home: Kelly Love on Reducing Toxin Exposure for Better Hormone Health

    In this episode, I'm joined by Kelly Love (co-founder of Branch Basics) to dive into one of the most overlooked pieces of health: everyday toxin exposure, especially in your home. Many women are so focused on nutrition, supplements, and workouts that they miss this key piece. In this conversation, we break down where these toxins are hiding and how these daily exposures can impact your hormones, fertility, and overall health. We also talk through where to start, which changes make the biggest difference, and how to approach this in a way that doesn't feel overwhelming.   If you want to start making clean swaps at home, you can check out Branch Basics here (use code HERHEALINGPATH for 20% off Starter Kits, valid through 4/16/2026), and access their free Toss the Toxins course here.   Resources: • [Free quiz] Which test is best for you? → • Get functional lab testing → • Follow Tanya on Instagram →   In this episode: 01:05 – Toxin exposure is often overlooked 06:07 – Kelly's origin story + healing journey 14:42 – The founding of Branch Basics 17:35 – Cleaning products: an easy place to start 21:27 – Product labels are purposefully misleading you 24:40 – How to reduce your toxin load 28:24 – What it means when you're "sensitive" vs not 30:35 – Are your symptoms normal or just normalized? 31:35 – Endocrine disruptors in cleaning products 37:28 – Hidden exposures at home 46:05 – Where to start without feeling overwhelmed 50:56 – Rapid fire round: clean living edition   I'm so grateful to have you here, friend.

  5. The Real Root Cause of Acne: Why Your Skincare Routine Isn't Working (And What to Focus on Instead)

    APR 3

    The Real Root Cause of Acne: Why Your Skincare Routine Isn't Working (And What to Focus on Instead)

    In this episode, I'm breaking down one of the most common patterns I see in my practice: women doing everything "right" for their skin and still struggling with acne. Spoiler alert: it's rarely just a skincare issue and often reflects deeper imbalances. I walk you through the internal systems that most commonly drive skin issues and how the same symptoms can come from different root causes. If you've ever felt like you've tried everything and your skin still isn't responding, this episode will help you understand what might actually be going on.   Resources: • Which lab test is best for you? → • Get functional lab testing → • Follow along on Instagram →   In this episode: 01:05 – A mini life update 08:20 – I'm back!

  6. Connecting the Dots: Doing Less and Finally Understanding What Your Body Needs

    Connecting the Dots: Doing Less and Finally Understanding What Your Body Needs

    This episode is a highlight reel from the past few months, pulling together some of the most important conversations we've had around gut health, hormones, metabolism, fertility, and foundational healing. As I revisited these episodes, one theme kept coming up again and again: doing less, but doing it better. Instead of chasing trends, cutting more foods, or layering on more supplements, this season has really been about slowing down, understanding your body more deeply, and focusing on the core systems that actually drive healing. Gut health influences hormones. Hormones influence metabolism. Stress impacts everything. When you zoom out, it becomes clear that your body isn't a collection of separate symptoms – this episode will help you see that bigger picture and better understand what your body needs.   Resources: • Which lab test is best for you? → • Get functional lab testing → • Follow along on Instagram →   In this episode: 03:40 – Why detox cleanses can backfire (Ep 74: The Truth About Detox) 08:49 – Ayurveda and seasonal support for your body (Ep 75: Holistic Seasonal Healing) 13:29 – How restrictive nutrition trends can make symptoms worse (Ep 76: Wellness From Within) 19:18 – A root-cause approach to fertility (Ep 77: Unexplained Infertility, Explained) 24:33 – The biggest misconception about gut health (Ep 78: The Gut Reset Mini Series, Ep 1) 30:33 – What gut testing actually reveals about "good" vs "bad" bacteria (Ep 79: The Gut Reset Mini Series, Ep 2) 39:29 – The framework I use for gut healing (Ep 80: The Gut Reset Mini Series, Ep 3) 44:34 – Making sense of common gut symptoms (Ep 81: The Gut Reset Mini Series, Ep 4) 50:24 – The common theme I see with stubborn weight (Ep 83: Why You're Not Losing Weight)   I'm so grateful to have you here, friend.

    Pregnancy & Postpartum Recovery: A Mini Case Study on Nourishing Your Body, Replenishing Nutrients, and Preventing Depletion

    In this episode, I'm walking you through a client case study that highlights how important nutrition is during pregnancy and postpartum. These are two of the most demanding phases for your body, and many women are still undernourished going into them. I break down what happens in your body during pregnancy when nutrients are low. We also talk about how this can show up postpartum and the key foundations that make the biggest difference in avoiding depletion and replenishing essential nutrients.   Resources: • Which lab test is best for you? → • Get functional lab testing → • Follow along on Instagram →   In this episode: 01:05 – A little life update 01:52 – Pregnancy is nutritionally demanding 03:00 – Signs you may be undernourished 05:13 – Postpartum depletion and recovery 06:50 – The effect of underlying issues 08:06 – Key macronutrients 10:23 – Essential micronutrients and prenatals pitfalls 12:18 – Nervous system and stress in postpartum 14:12 – What to do when nutrition isn't enough   I'm so grateful to have you here, friend.

  8. Why You're Not Losing Weight: When You're Doing All the Right Things but Your Body Isn't Responding

    MAR 13

    Why You're Not Losing Weight: When You're Doing All the Right Things but Your Body Isn't Responding

    In this episode, I'm talking about something that comes up with so many women who walk into my practice: stubborn weight. Many women I work with are already eating well, exercising, and trying to take care of their health—but the scale won't move or they're gaining weight without understanding why. That disconnect can feel incredibly frustrating. The reality is that weight isn't always about sheer willpower or calorie math. Your body's internal environment plays a huge role in how it uses and stores energy. Understanding the bigger picture of your health can change the way you approach stubborn weight.   Resources: • Which lab test is best for you? → • Get functional lab testing → • Follow along on Instagram →   In this episode: 01:05 – The pattern I see with clients struggling to lose weight 04:35 – "Calories in, calories out" is an oversimplification 07:22 – Stress and cortisol patterns that affect weight 14:13 – Thyroid health and metabolism 19:20 – Blood sugar patterns that can drive weight gain 24:04 – The essential role of androgens  26:59 – Inflammation is a hidden driver of stubborn weight 30:40 – What actually helps the body release weight   I'm so grateful to have you here, friend.
