This week, Ashleigh and Katie are joined by Holistic Health Coach and Restorative Yoga Teacher, Joscelyne Castañeda. Joscelyne specializes in hormone health and menstrual cycle support and alignment. She guides clients to create sustainable lifestyle and nutrition shifts that balance hormones holistically so they can walk away feeling more energetic and vibrant. We identify how hormone imbalances can look, how common they are, and how it affects the rest of your body. Joscelyne teaches us everything primary school never did about Menstruation: how to track it, what the cycles are, myths, and the essentials. You would be surprised how little you might know! This episode is for everyone, no matter your gender, sexual orientation, or identity. This conversation is inclusive and should shed some light onto the many experiences of those who menstruate.

Have you ever been scrolling through social media and constantly seeing contradictory information when it comes to food and nutrition? One account will tell you egg yolks are bad, while another will protest and say it's worse for you to eat eggs without the yolks. I mean, what are we supposed to believe, and who?! This week, Katie gets to the bottom of this phenomenon. She breaks down some other examples of nutrition contradictions, explains why this happens, highlights where nutrition becomes exclusive, briefly covers the standards for nutrition established in the 90s, and gives some advice on how you can actually learn what is and isn't good for you. As always, we encourage you to consult a professional before making any changes to your lifestyle or habits (this goes for all podcasts, not just ours)!

This week, Ashleigh and Katie are super excited to bring on a guest to help discuss the very nuanced topic of queer and transgender healthcare. Delia Sosas is a queer, transgender, nonbinary, mixed-race Latine activist, and medical student. They advocate for inclusion of transgender, gender diverse, and intersex people in medicine and medical education, and is an activist in the transgender community around access to gender-affirming and intersex-inclusive healthcare. Delia helps explain the complicated history of healthcare for marginalized groups, offers insight to life after the overturning of Roe v Wade, and shares their personal story of how they are able to blend a medical degree with activism. Still learning about the LGBTQIA+ community or unsure what most queer terminology means? Listen in for a crash course on the language and hear why Delia believes progress is a two way street.

To thank Delia for their time, energy, and education, please consider sending a gift of your gratitude: [Click here]

It's officially Summer! The Solstice came around on the 21st and got everyone in the mood for sunshine and planning getaways. This week Ashleigh and Katie are back for a duo episode chatting about the sweaty season. But before they start romanticizing, they start reflecting. Have you ever looked at your New Year's Resolutions halfway through the year? Yeah, most people don't. This week, your CGP hosts look back at Episode 9 where they talked about their goals for 2022. Upon revisiting them for this episode, you might be surprised which goals they've met, and which ones they haven't! After reflecting, Ashleigh and Katie give their predictions for summer on what people will be wearing, where they will be, and who they will be with. Only time will tell if these predictions are accurate! What do you think? Follow us on Instagram @cocoanutgrovepod to share your predictions with us!

A few weeks ago Katie covered a mini episode on Families & Intergenerational Trauma after a recent trip to see her family. While Katie covered a lot of detail on personal experience, on PTSD, and therapy, Ashleigh is leading this week's episode and doing a call back specifically on Epigenetics and inherited traits. Ashleigh utilizes her knowledge as a Genetic Counselor to lead this conversation. Join in and learn more!
