Inflammation isn’t the enemy—it’s information.

In this episode, we unpack what inflammation really is, why so many women are walking around inflamed without realizing it, and how chronic inflammation quietly disrupts hormones, metabolism, gut health, brain clarity, and energy.

We’ll talk through the hidden drivers of inflammation most people miss—blood sugar swings, nervous system overload, gut dysfunction, toxin exposure, and nutrient depletion—and why simply “eating clean” or exercising harder often isn’t enough.

This conversation is about restoring balance, not fear. You’ll walk away with a clearer understanding of how your body communicates, how inflammation becomes chronic, and the practical, root-cause steps that actually calm the system so healing can happen.

If you’ve been told your labs are “normal” but you don’t feel normal… this episode is for you.

What if your body isn’t failing you—but faithfully communicating with you?

In this episode, we explore what’s really happening when stress starts to show up physically: fatigue, tension, digestive issues, anxiety, hormone disruption, and burnout that no amount of “trying harder” seems to fix. Through a nervous-system–informed lens, we’ll unpack why these symptoms aren’t signs of a broken body, but signals of a body asking for safety.

This is a gentle, grounding conversation for women who are tired of fixing and ready to start listening. We’ll talk about stress, regulation, and what it actually means to support healing at the root—especially in seasons of motherhood, leadership, and constant demand.

If you’ve ever felt like your body is working against you, this episode is an invitation to pause, breathe, and reconsider what healing might really require.

Pray the Litany of Trust: https://sistersoflife.org/wp-content/uploads/2019/07/Mobile-Litany-of-Trust.pdf

In this special and heartfelt episode, Ellie is joined by her daughter Ana for an honest conversation about what it really means to heal whole—body, mind, and soul.

Together, they explore how health isn’t just about what we eat or how we move, but how we think, how we rest, how we pray, and how we care for our hearts.

Ana shares, from a 10-year-old’s perspective, the simple practices she uses to take care of her body, mind, and soul—from nourishing foods and movement, to quiet time, gratitude, and staying connected to God. This episode is a gentle reminder that true wellness can be learned young and lived simply.

Ellie weaves in her clinical and motherly perspective, reflecting on why integrative healing must address the whole person—and how these same principles guide the care offered through Elevated Integrative Wellness, including their virtual care services for individuals and families seeking root-cause healing.

This episode is for parents, practitioners, and anyone longing for a more grounded, faith-filled approach to wellness—and a reminder that healing is not complicated, but it is intentional.

More girls are getting their first period at 8, 9, even 10 years old — and while there is a normal range for puberty, this trend deserves a deeper conversation.

In this episode, Ellie breaks down why early cycles are becoming more common, what history and current research actually show us, and — most importantly — why early menarche is not a neutral event for long-term health.

We talk about:

What age girls typically should begin menstruating

Why “common” does not always mean “optimal”

How modern inputs like food quality, environmental chemicals, stress, and sleep disruption are signaling young bodies to grow up faster

The long-term health implications of early puberty, including hormone imbalance, metabolic dysfunction, mental health challenges, fertility considerations, and increased disease risk later in life

What parents can realistically do now to reduce toxic load and support healthier hormonal timing — without fear, perfection, or going off-grid

This episode is not about blame.It’s about awareness, empowerment, and stewardship of our daughters’ health.

Puberty isn’t broken.The inputs are.

A proactive, education-based course for parents who want to understand hormones, cycles, blood sugar, and modern health inputs — and help their daughters grow up grounded, informed, and supported.

If your metabolism feels stuck…

If hormones feel chaotic…

If digestion, energy, or weight loss feel harder than they should…

Your liver is likely part of the story.

In this episode, Ellie dives into the liver — an organ that quietly performs hundreds of vital functions every single day, yet is often overlooked until symptoms appear. We break down what the liver actually does, why it plays such a critical role in metabolism, digestion, hormone balance, and detoxification, and how modern life has placed an unprecedented load on this powerful system.

You’ll learn:

Why the liver is the metabolic “air traffic control center” of the body

How liver function impacts digestion, bile flow, and nutrient absorption

The connection between the liver and hormone balance (including estrogen and cortisol)

Why liver overload can stall fat loss and disrupt blood sugar

How stress and emotional load influence liver signaling in the body

Simple, realistic ways to support liver health — without extreme detoxes or deprivation

This episode isn’t about “cleanses” as a trend.

It’s about understanding why support matters and how partnering with your body changes everything downstream.

When the liver is supported, metabolism gets easier.

Hormones regulate more smoothly.

Energy returns.

Join this Elevated conversation unpacking how prenatal chiropractic care supports labor outcomes, and how infant craniosacral therapy helps babies feed, breathe, sleep, and thrive.

Focus: Prenatal + Pediatric Chiropractic Care

A deep dive into Webster Technique, infant CST, tongue-tie patterns, and how the nervous system shapes feeding, sleep, airway, and development.

Guest Bio — Dr. Breanna | Summit Chiropractic & Wellness

Dr. Breanna’s story with chiropractic began long before her degree ever did — as a young competitive figure skater struggling with unexpected back pain, reduced range of motion, allergies, headaches, and recurring illnesses. After routine chiropractic care changed her health so dramatically, it became a foundational part of her life and eventually her calling.

Originally from Canada, she moved to Minnesota to pursue her Chiropractic degree knowing she wanted to serve in healthcare — but outside of the hospital model. During her schooling, she completed internships in prenatal and pediatric clinics where she saw first-hand how chiropractic care shapes pregnancy experiences, improves labor outcomes, and restores function in infants and children. That’s where her passion was born — and she has never looked back.

She became Webster certified through the ICPA and continues postgraduate learning yearly to deepen her skill in pregnancy and pediatric care. When she began noticing that some babies were improving — but plateauing — she dove into bodywork and became trained in Craniosacral Therapy (CST) to better support infants whose fascial tension, tethered oral tissues (lip/tongue ties), and nervous system stress needed more than adjustment alone.

Today, she blends precise chiropractic adjusting, Webster technique, and infant CST to help moms feel better in pregnancy, optimize labor positioning, shorten labor time, support postpartum healing, and resolve feeding, airway, digestive, and developmental challenges in babies.

Her care philosophy is simple:

Common does not mean normal — and you deserve answers, connection, and a team who listens to your instincts.

In this Thanksgiving episode, 211, Ellie unpacks one of the most underestimated healing tools we have — gratitude. Not the cliché version, but the version backed by neuroscience, physiology, and Scripture.

You’ll hear how gratitude literally rewires the brain, lowers cortisol, stabilizes the nervous system, and creates the internal safety your body needs to heal. Ellie breaks down what research tells us about gratitude’s impact on inflammation, emotional resilience, hormones, and metabolism — and why it works even faster than most people realize.

But she doesn’t stop at the science.

Ellie brings her signature faith lens as she explores why gratitude is often hardest in the seasons we need it most — and how practicing thanksgiving becomes an act of spiritual warfare, grounding, and trust when life feels overwhelming.

If you’re craving a reset, a breath, or a reminder of what God is doing in the middle of your busy, beautiful, messy life… this episode will meet you right where you are.

Science. Scripture. Nervous system regulation. And a reminder that gratitude isn’t a feeling — it’s a healing.

Perfect for your Thanksgiving morning walk, a quiet moment before family arrives, or a reset after a full, loud, wonderful day.
