Carly Hartwig is a Holistic Reproductive Health Practitioner and a Certified Fertility Awareness Educator. She is passionate about empowering women to take control of their health and take charge of their wellness journeys with personalized, compassionate care. She brings balance to the low-tox world and educates people around a wide array of topics, ranging from environmental toxins to healthy hormones, and she will forever encourage women to advocate for themselves and require informed consent in every step of their healthcare journey. Carly is a self-proclaimed crunchy mom of 1 with another on the way! 

In this episode, we explore the Fertility Awareness Method (FAM) and how cycle tracking can be used for both pregnancy prevention and conception by understanding real-time hormonal patterns—not guesswork. We discuss what true cycle literacy looks like, common misconceptions around FAM, and why tracking biomarkers like basal body temperature and cervical fluid gives women more data, not more pressure. We also have an honest conversation about home birth—who it may be appropriate for, how proper screening and support matter, and why safety is about preparation, not location alone. This episode is for anyone curious about stepping into a more informed, intentional relationship with their cycle and birth experience—without fear, dogma, or extremes.

In this episode, I’m walking through my current skin routine—the topicals I’m using and loving for acne scars, barrier repair, dry skin, and calming hormonal breakouts. We talk about why gentle, supportive products matter more than aggressive “fix-it” formulas and how I choose topicals that work with the skin, not against it. I also share simple, realistic tips to support lymphatic flow for hormonal acne—because congestion, inflammation, and poor drainage play a much bigger role in breakouts than most people realize. And of course, we connect the dots between gut health and skin, explaining how digestion, detox pathways, and inflammation show up on your face even when your routine looks “clean.” If your skin feels stuck in a flare cycle, this episode will help you simplify, support, and heal more strategically.

Nervous system regulation isn’t just about breathwork, cold exposure, or calming rituals. Those tools matter—but they’re only half the equation. In this episode, we break down why true nervous system support is a two-way street: regulating the system and removing the internal stressors that keep the body stuck in survival mode.

Dr. Halie talks about how things like gut infections, parasites, mold exposure, chronic inflammation, and nutrient deficiencies quietly drive fight-or-flight, making regulation practices feel ineffective or short-lived. If you’re doing “all the right things” but still feel wired, tired, or inflamed, this episode explains why—and what a more honest, root-cause approach to nervous system healing actually looks like.

In this conversation with the founder of Boroux, we dig into why clean water is foundational for health, what most people overlook about filtration, and how the materials inside your filter can make or break its effectiveness.

Why Filtering Your Water Matters
Municipal systems only address basic safety, not long-term exposure. Trace chemicals, microplastics, heavy metals, chlorine byproducts, pesticides, and pharmaceutical residues slip through. Your body deals with these daily, and reducing that load makes a real difference in energy, inflammation, and overall resilience.

Not all filters are created with safe, stable components. Cheap plastics can leach into the water you’re trying to clean, and low-grade metals or resins can introduce new contaminants. Boroux uses high-integrity materials designed to stay inert, durable, and non-reactive—meaning the water stays as clean as the filter promises.

How Carbon Filtration Actually Works
Activated carbon acts like a molecular sponge. Its porous structure traps contaminants through adsorption, binding them to the carbon surface. It’s especially good at reducing chlorine, VOCs, organic compounds, and improving taste and odor. When paired with high-quality materials and proper flow design, carbon filtration becomes one of the most reliable ways to clean everyday drinking water.

Key Takeaways

• Clean water isn’t optional—it's the foundation of metabolic and cellular health.

• The filter’s materials matter just as much as the filtration method.

• Activated carbon is powerful when used correctly and supported by quality build design.

• Boroux’s approach focuses on purity from the inside out.

A quick breakdown of how I use systemic binders—especially fulvic and humic acid—to support detox and recovery, plus the exact protocol I follow to elevate my sauna or Epsom salt bath routine.

What a Binder Is
A binder helps capture unwanted compounds in the gut and supports natural detox pathways. Systemic binders work more broadly and reduce recirculation stress.

Why Fulvic + Humic Acid
Fulvic supports cellular function and mineral absorption.
Humic binds more stubborn compounds.
Together they create a balanced, effective detox pairing.

Binder I use and recommend

My Sauna / Bath Protocol

• Hydrate with electrolytes 30–45 min before

• Take binder right before heat session

• Sauna or Epsom salt bath for 20–30 minutes

• Replenish electrolytes + minerals afterward

• Keep recovery simple and let the binder finish its job

In today’s episode, I’m chatting through the simple, intentional updates I’ve made to my supplement routine as we shift into a season where my body usually needs a little extra support. Nothing extreme — just smart swaps, gentle additions, and a few things I like to keep on hand for digestion, energy, and immune health.

What I’m Covering in This Episode

• The items I keep “on deck” for extra digestion support (think bloating, heavy meals, travel)

This is a laid-back, cozy, personal conversation about checking in with your body, shifting routines when the seasons change, and making supplement choices without overwhelming yourself. It’s practical, intentional, and focused on supporting your body in real-life rhythms.

In this episode, we’re breaking down what really drives insulin resistance — and spoiler, it’s not just about sugar. From light exposure and stress levels to carb timing and nutrient deficiencies, we’ll dive into how your daily habits impact blood sugar and metabolism far more than a single food choice.

You’ll walk away understanding how to work with your body — not against it — to support balanced hormones, energy, and long-term metabolic health.

Light & circadian rhythm:
How morning sunlight, evening screen limits, and sleep timing affect insulin sensitivity and cortisol balance.

Carb timing & balance:
Why completely cutting carbs can backfire — and how pairing small portions of whole-food carbs with protein and fiber can actually improve blood sugar control.

Stress & cortisol:
How chronic stress hormones keep blood sugar elevated (even without eating), and simple tools to regulate your nervous system.

Nutrient deficiencies:
Key nutrients that support insulin function — like magnesium, chromium, omega-3s, and B vitamins — and how to include them through real food first.

Practical takeaways:
Simple, sustainable strategies to improve insulin sensitivity: balanced meals, movement after eating, quality sleep, and light exposure habits that support your body’s natural rhythm.
