    Ep. 76 Why You Can’t Heal What You Can’t See: A Mold Illness Story Every Woman Needs to Hear

    Hey friend, How many times have you thought: “Something is wrong… but I can’t put my finger on it.” Maybe you’re exhausted for no reason. Maybe your anxiety feels like it came out of nowhere. Maybe your teenager is struggling with symptoms no one can explain. Maybe your house feels off, but you can’t explain why. And yet… every doctor visit ends with: “Your labs look normal.” In this week’s episode, we’re going somewhere most women never think to look: 👉 your environment — specifically, mold and mycotoxins. Today’s conversation is with my friend Emily Tant, a homeschool mom of five whose journey through mold illness is nothing short of wild, heartbreaking, and incredibly hopeful. 🎧 Listen to the full episode: Why You Can’t Heal What You Can’t See Inside this episode, we break down: • How mold illness hides in plain sight—and why symptoms rarely look like a stuffy nose or allergies • The emotional trauma connection and why life events can “switch on” susceptibility • Why women are often the first to get sick (hint: hormones + stress + toxic load) • The difference between mold and mycotoxins—and why one is far more dangerous • What testing actually works for your body and your home • Real stories from Emily’s family that will make you rethink what “mystery symptoms” really mean • How to know if your home is a safe place to heal—or the thing keeping you sick • The hope on the other side of getting answers, clearing your environment, and watching your body finally exhale This episode isn’t about fear. It’s about awareness, clarity, and hope—because you deserve to understand what your body has been trying to tell you all along. Your body isn’t broken. It’s communicating. And today, we’re giving you a new language to understand those signals. In health, Tracy Erin Before you go… ✨ Join The Balanced Hormone Solution Today!

    Hey friend, Let’s talk about something most women don’t talk about enough… That awkward, uncomfortable, “what happened down there?” phase of perimenopause. Vaginal dryness. If you’ve noticed intimacy feels different—or downright painful—you’re not alone, and you’re definitely not broken. This week on The Balanced Hormone Solution Podcast, we’re getting real about what’s actually going on (and how to fix it naturally). 🎧 Inside this episode, I break down: 👉 Why vaginal dryness happens long before menopause (hint: it’s not just about estrogen) 👉 The science behind declining DHEA and how it impacts tissue health and libido 👉 Why over-the-counter lubricants don’t solve the root issue 👉 Two powerful, natural solutions that restore comfort and confidence:  • Quicksilver Vaginal Cream — for DHEA + vitamin E–based tissue repair  • Dr. Anna Cabeca’s Julva Pro — for plant-based support, hydration, and elasticity 👉 Lifestyle upgrades that help: hydration, healthy fats, stress management, and circulation support Because dryness isn’t just a “down there” issue—it’s a full-body message that your hormones need love and nourishment. 💡 Takeaway: You don’t have to suffer in silence. With the right support, you can restore comfort, intimacy, and confidence naturally. 💕 In health & hormone harmony, Tracy Erin Registered Nurse + Integrative Health Practitioner Balance your hormones.
