  • 19. Perimenopause, HRT, and the Double Standards in Women’s Healthcare

    Have you ever been told you're in perimenopause but something about that felt off? Or maybe you’re a clinician who's had clients walk in with an “official” diagnosis, zero labs, and a whole lot of confusion.


    In this episode of the Functionally Speaking podcast, we unpack the growing wave of perimenopause talk—from the genuine support women deserve to the frustrating ways it’s being misdiagnosed, overused, and under-supported. We talk about the physiology of this transition, the red flags we look for when evaluating clients, the foundational work that needs to happen before hormone replacement therapy (HRT) is even on the table, and why so many women are more depleted than they even realize.


    Whether you’re a practitioner, someone navigating your 30s or 40s, or just tired of being dismissed, this conversation will help you understand what’s really going on beneath the surface—and what to do about it.


    In this episode, we cover:

    • 01:48 When perimenopause is real—and when it’s not
    • 06:00 How late motherhood impacts hormone shifts
    • 10:00 Red flags: when HRT is prescribed without context
    • 13:00 Why so many women are told to “suck it up”
    • 16:00 Our go-to foundations before HRT 
    • 23:00 Caffeine, alcohol, depletion, and the stories we’re told
    • 26:00 What to ask yourself (or your client) before reaching for a patch or pill

  • 17. Coaching the Burned-Out Client: Exercise, Stress, and Capacity Conversations

    Have your clients (or even you) ever used exercise as therapy only to end up more depleted than energized?


    In this episode of the Functionally Speaking podcast, we’re breaking down how to help clients (and ourselves) find the right dose of exercise for their current season of life. From “go hard or go home” narratives to sneaky stressors like high-demand jobs, toddler wake-ups, or perfectionist tendencies, we share how to reframe movement through a truly functional lens. We also cover what the research says about minimum effective dose, signs that exercise might be doing more harm than good, and why giving clients “permission to do less” can actually unlock better outcomes.


    Whether you’re a clinician navigating this conversation with patients, or a woman juggling her own fitness goals, this episode will give you practical frameworks and empathetic language to support more sustainable exercise routines.


    In this episode, we cover:

    • 01:56 Why “exercise is therapy” can be a red flag
    • 02:56 Looking at client history—not just their current workouts
    • 05:05 Season of life: capacity, stress, and what’s on their plate
    • 07:28 The sneaky stressors many clinicians overlook
    • 10:14 Red flags in labs and symptoms that signal overtraining
    • 19:54 How to approach cardio and lifting for real-life results
    • 22:52 What counts as “exercise” to your client?
    • 24:08 Why good programming (and good referrals) matter
    • 28:36 Real client stories and resistance to change
    • 34:56 Why doing less now can help you do more later
    • 36:19 Final tips and reminders for clinicians

  • 16. How Undereating Wrecks Hormones, Metabolism, Sleep, and Sanity

    Are your clients hitting the gym, eating “clean,” and still feeling exhausted, anxious, and bloated? We see it all the time—women who are praised for their discipline but are actually deeply undernourished. And sometimes? Clinicians miss the signs too.


    In this episode of the Functionally Speaking podcast, we’re talking about one of the most common but overlooked issues in functional and conventional healthcare: undereating. Whether it's hiding behind food sensitivities, excessive exercise, or outdated calorie goals, under-fueling shows up in all sorts of sneaky ways.


    This one’s for clinicians who want to support their clients more holistically—and for high-achieving humans who are doing “everything right” and still not feeling like themselves.


    In this episode, we cover:

    • 01:36 The impact of undereating on hormones and metabolism
    • 02:19 How diet culture teaches women to fear hunger
    • 05:22 When discipline disguises disordered eating
    • 09:51 Sneaky symptoms and lab clues your client is under-fueled
    • 16:03 Why macros aren’t enough—micronutrients matter, too
    • 17:37 What mineral depletion says about your metabolism
    • 18:00 The relationship between stress, food, and capacity
    • 18:51 Helping clients shift from weight loss to true health
    • 21:22 What to watch for in thyroid and sex hormone labs
    • 23:38 Coaching with compassion: the “capacity” conversation
    • 27:40 Sneaky signs of under-fueling even seasoned pros miss
    • 30:53 Why performance ≠ health—and how to help clients see that

  • 15. What Makes a Great Clinician? Red Flags, Green Flags, and Questions to Ask

    Ever left a doctor’s office feeling dismissed, confused, or worse—unseen? 


    In this episode of the Functionally Speaking podcast, we’re pulling back the curtain on the red flags we see in both conventional and functional medicine. From providers who brush off symptoms to those who rely too heavily on expensive testing and supplement stacks, we talk through the patterns we’ve seen—and the ones we want to change.


    We also share the green flags we look for in collaborative providers, the difference between discernment and dogma in clinical care, and how to advocate for yourself (or your clients) in today’s confusing wellness landscape. If you've ever wondered what questions to ask when choosing a provider, this episode is a must.


    In this episode, we cover:

    • 01:37 Common red flags we’ve seen in healthcare providers
    • 04:54 Preventative wellness: what your provider should be doing
    • 06:58 What to do when you're told “your labs look fine” but you feel awful
    • 08:17 When testing becomes a crutch instead of a tool
    • 16:59 Weight bias in medicine and the need for trauma-informed support
    • 17:49 Knowing scope of practice and when a provider should refer out
    • 19:35 Why not every MD is qualified to give nutrition advice
    • 21:18 Elimination diets, testing fatigue, and what real support looks like
    • 24:15 The beauty of collaboration in healthcare
    • 25:54 Green flags we love to see in practitioners

  • 13. Postpartum Fitness: Why the Bounce-Back Culture Misses the Point

    Are postpartum workouts empowering or just another pressure on moms to “bounce back”?


    In this episode of the Functionally Speaking podcast, we’re diving deep into postpartum fitness culture—and calling out the unrealistic, unhelpful, and often harmful messaging that’s flooding social media. From snapback culture to sleep deprivation, mineral depletion, and the mental load of motherhood, we explore why pushing women into high-intensity training just weeks after giving birth is not just misguided—it’s dangerous.


    Whether you’re a practitioner, a mom, or both, this conversation offers validation, education, and a whole lot of real talk.


    In this episode, we cover:

    • 02:43 The harsh reality of postpartum recovery (even with “healthy” pregnancies)
    • 05:29 How clinicians can better support postpartum women
    • 09:51 Why sleep and recovery must be non-negotiables
    • 14:24 Depletion during pregnancy: what most women don’t know
    • 17:58 Exercise and body image struggles postpartum
    • 19:16 Therapy, identity, and realistic expectations
    • 23:25 The role of support systems in healing
    • 27:47 What real postpartum fitness can look like
    • 30:18 Practical, compassionate advice for postpartum movement

  • 12. Should Women Cold Plunge? A Real Talk on Biohacking and Burnout

    Is cold plunging really helping your health or just pushing your already stressed system over the edge?


    In this episode of the Functionally Speaking podcast, we unpack the cold, hard truth about cold plunges. From hormonal differences to nervous system baselines, we dive into why women respond differently to extreme stressors and what that means for popular wellness trends like cold therapy. Plus, we share what we’re seeing in clinical practice, including how to coach clients who are skipping the basics in favor of biohacks.

    In this episode, we cover:

    • 01:45 Why cold plunges aren’t one-size-fits-all, especially for women
    • 03:50 How hormones impact our stress response (and recovery)

    Is it more transparent—or more strategic—to share your prices publicly?


    In this episode of the Functionally Speaking podcast, we’re having an honest, nuanced conversation about pricing in private practice. Do you list your rates on your site?

    • 02:22 The cost of doing business: what your pricing actually needs to cover
    • 06:48 How to sell the transformation—not just the cost

  • 10. The Problem With At-Home Fertility Trackers (And Who It’s Actually Helping)

    Are fertility monitors giving women real answers or just more reasons to stress?

    In this episode of the Functionally Speaking podcast, we’re breaking down the rise of at-home hormone trackers like Mira and Inito, and sharing how we really feel about them. We talk about the promise of data, the pressure to “get it right,” and the fine line between feeling empowered and feeling overwhelmed. We also dig into what these tools can help with, what they can’t, and how we coach clients through fertility without turning it into a numbers game.

    In this episode, we cover:

    • 02:05 What fertility monitors actually track
    • 04:42 Why these tools have become so popular and who they’re built for
    • 06:56 What we love about at-home fertility trackers
