Taking Control Over Multiple Sclerosis Naturally with Alissa Frazier
Like many autoimmune conditions, we have a lot to learn about how they start, how to manage symptoms, and especially how to treat them. Luckily, there are a ton of people in the world looking for their own answers and finding some rays of hope for themselves and others.
One of these people is Alissa Frazier, founder of Liss MS, who used her MS diagnosis as a wake-up call and refused to accept medication as the final answer for her treatment. Now, she works with other women to help get to the root of their MS and autoimmune conditions to not only manage symptoms but to also find continued relief through manageable lifestyle changes on top of traditional treatment.
Her story begins like many others who struggle with autoimmune conditions, and now she’s harnessing the knowledge she’s gained over the past almost 15 years to empower other women to look beyond medication to find relief. From diet changes to addressing past trauma, Alissa will teach us just a few of her approaches to helping women with MS.

Adding Resources to Your Period Pain Toolkit with Mimi Millard
Join me and the co-founder of De Lune, Mimi Millard, to discuss how she was inspired to begin on her journey to finding holistic, natural period pain solutions.
Growing up, Mimi struggled with intense period pain beyond what traditional painkillers were designed to help with. Fed up with missing school and being in debilitating pain every month, she started doing her own research about natural remedies for period pain.
Now, she helps tons of women naturally relieve period pain and manage their moods in a holistic way. De Lune’s products have been proven to not only work as well as traditional painkillers, but with fewer side effects. They can also be combined with traditional painkillers as an added boost of pain relief.
In this episode, we’re talking about how Mimi was inspired to create her natural products, the societal pressures on women to “power through” their pain, and how De Lune can be another tool in your toolkit for getting one step closer to pain-free periods.

Managing Pelvic Floor Health and Chronic Pain with Sami Hobbs
This week, I’m sitting down with my best friend, Sami Hobbs, to talk about her struggle and journey to healing from chronic pain due to endometriosis and vaginismus (vulvodynia). Sami is the founder of Your Inner Wisdom, a holistic business mentor, empowerment photographer, and self-development retreat host.
Before Sami began her 7-year journey to fixing her chronic pain, she felt a lot of shame around sex, intimacy, and sexual health. She knew from a young age that something wasn’t quite right in her body, but it took a lot of courage to be open with doctors about her pain. Because of her pain, she experienced a lot of dissociation and began doing numbing behaviors like bingeing to escape it. Luckily, she had doctors who took her seriously and eventually diagnosed her with endometriosis and vaginismus.
Fast forward to today, Sami has done a ton of work both physically and mentally to get to the root of her pain and begin feeling relief. She’s worked hard on getting out of fight or flight and feeling safe in her body once again, which has been a huge boost to the physical work she’s done with her doctor for her vaginismus.
If you’re curious about pelvic floor health or are experiencing similar issues and want to learn more about how to begin finding relief for yourself, listen to Sami’s amazing story and first-hand tips from how she approached her healing process.

Getting to the Bottom of Testosterone Excess
When our body is unable to regulate itself properly, we often see a cascade of issues that are linked to other more serious health problems. This is the case for testosterone excess, which is brought on by certain lifestyle factors, gut microbiome issues, stress, and more.
If we can’t process our hormones normally, it can lead to other more serious health issues such as insulin resistance, hyper- or hypothyroidism, PCOS, hair loss, and obesity. In this episode, I’m getting to the bottom of testosterone excess and what we can do to support our body in relearning to process this hormone properly.
With a few tests, some dietary and supplemental shifts, and a few other lifestyle tweaks, we can often identify, and eventually reverse, the symptoms of testosterone excess that might be throwing your body out of balance. Tune in to learn how we can help and where to start if you suspect you might have this hormonal imbalance.

How Your Genetics Affect Estrogen Dominance, Histamine, and Anxiety with Dr. Hailey Arnold
Our genetics have more of a role in our mental, physical, and emotional health than previously thought. They determine how our bodies metabolize certain foods and micronutrients, as well as which hormones in our bodies might be higher or lower than “normal.”
Dr. Hailey Arnold, founder of DNA RX has sought to find answers to our most pressing questions through genetic testing. What type of diet we should be on, why certain people can’t metabolize gluten as well as others, and why some of us have anxiety and others don’t. These are all questions that can begin to be answered through genetic testing.
In this episode, we’re nerding out about how Dr. Hailey got into genetic testing as her career path, why genetics are the blueprint to our bodies, and which genes are some of the most prominent indicators of how our bodies function.
If you’ve ever wondered why you might not handle carbs as well as others, or why your body doesn’t react to dietary changes how you might expect it to, don’t miss this deep dive into how our genetics guide our health and bodily functions!
