It's Never Just Hormones

A woman tells you something she's never said out loud. That's how every episode begins. She wrote it at 3am, or in a hospital parking lot, or twenty years after it happened — because somewhere between the diagnosis and the dismissal, somebody told her it was just hormones. Just motherhood. Just stress. It was never just anything. Each week, therapist and Mamaya Health founder Amy Green takes one woman's story — anonymous, told on her terms — and sits with the people who actually know this territory: psychiatrists, midwives, NICU doctors, and the women themselves. Together they trace it back to what was really happening — in her body, her mind, and a system that wasn't listening. The rage. The checking. The wanting. The grieving. The becoming. You will hear yourself in these stories. That's the point. New episodes every other Tuesday. And if there's a story you've never told — this is a place that knows how to hold it. From Mamaya Health. It's never just hormones.

    Your Relationship with Gravity

    They weigh you before anyone asks why you came. In this first episode, Amy Green sits down with dietitian Jenn Fleischer to trace where that came from — the voice in your head narrating what you should look like, the number you've learned to step backwards to avoid, and the slow work of learning to believe your own body again. If you've ever heard a voice in your head that didn't sound like yours, this one is for you. THIS EPISODE'S GUEST Credentials: Jenn Fleischer MS, RDN, LDN, CDCES Registered Dietitian Nutritionist, Certified Diabetes Care & Education Specialist Owner, Nashville Nutrition Partners, PLLC Jenn helps clients move from wanting change to empowered action that leads to lifelong healthy habits, working from a non-diet approach focused on education, self-care skills and introspective awareness — the whole person, not a number. nashvillenutritionpartners.com linkedin.com/in/jennifer-fleischer-131232282 Instagram & Facebook: @nashvillenutritionpartners WHAT WE TALKED ABOUT Why "distrust" isn't the right word for what happens between a woman and her body. How school teaches us to override hunger and our own signals, and what that costs thirty years later. Naming the inner critic — and why separating it from your identity changes what you can do about it. What a scale actually measures, and the exact words you can use to decline seeing the number. Where body neutrality begins, and why it starts somewhere much smaller than love.
