Healing Hormones

Allison Preiss is founder of The Infused Life and it’s her passion to educate others on simple ways they can reduce their toxic load. It’s never been more important to learn about your products (whether it’s your makeup, self-care items, or cleaning supplies) because they all affect your hormones — especially if they’re full of toxins and ingredients you can’t even pronounce! This subject is so important because our liver is what processes the hormones out of our system, and when it’s overburdened by dealing with these toxic chemicals, it affects our hormones even more. Allison dives into the principles of non-toxic living, making your own non-toxic products, and why some of these products aren’t as good as the labels say they are.

We Chat About:

• Getting started with non-toxic living
• What’s holding people back from making their own products
• What toxic burden is
• What we need to avoid in our homes
• What we should know about “greenwashing” products
• The first thing you should do when changing out your products

Today is a special solo episode. I’ve shared bits and pieces about my personal healing journey in previous episodes, but I’ve received requests to record an episode all about what I am doing or planning to do. If you’re listening to this podcast you are likely trying to find some healing answers, so I thought it would be powerful to share my own story. I am in the process of following various protocols, I’ve done some testing, and I want to dive deep into what all of that means for me and my future hormonal healing.

We Chat About:

• How being on the pill was masking my hormone struggles
• My period problems
• Getting tests to get to the root of my problem
• The importance of consulting with an expert
• My test results
• The supplements I’m taking to support my hormone levels
• My goals with this healing journey
• Dry brushing
• Castor oil
• Vaginal steaming
• How I can help you

I used to struggle with chronic anxiety, and a few years ago everything in my life began to snowball. I knew there was something going on with my body but I couldn’t pinpoint it. It was this point in my life where I became curious about my hormone health and, five years later, I’m now coaching women who experience those same struggles. That makes today’s discussion with Katie Dalebout about anxiety really special.

Katie is a writer, podcaster, and founder of Let It Out, a community built around sharing “soft stories.” Her book “Let It Out” is an interactive guide for journaling, which is a fantastic way of getting in touch with the body. Her podcast Spiraling is all about having candid conversations around anxiety. We get into what anxiety feels like in your body, how it affects your life, and some of the ways we can learn to be okay with our anxiety.

We Chat About:

• Understanding anxiety and identifying it in yourself
• Learning from our low points
• Allowing ourselves to feel our feelings
• The power of sharing your stories
• Being self-aware
• Sitting with yourself
• Being okay with not knowing what’s going to happen

So many women aren’t prepared for this phase of their life and can be completely blindsided by some of the symptoms that come along with it.

Now she coaches women on the right way to manage their menopausal symptoms.

We Chat About:

• The definition + symptoms of menopause and perimenopause
• How we can still feel good when our estrogen levels drop off

Dr. Beth Westie was a chiropractor at heart, but she took that knowledge and combined it with her own personal experience with women’s health and hormones. After a miscarriage, some pregnancy issues, and ovarian cysts, Beth started diving into the research regarding her hormones — and why the only things doctors would prescribe her were Vicodin and birth control. We talk about that journey, including diving into Eastern medicine practices in order to heal her cysts, all of the things western medicine gets wrong about women’s bodies, and how you can work to complement your body’s natural cycles.

We Chat About:

• Dr. Beth’s rare pregnancy experience
• Dealing with ovarian cysts
• Why studies are typically done on men and the problem with that
• Diving into eastern medicine
• Balancing your hormones and basal body temperature
• Choosing what foods are best for your cycle

There is so much hostility and stigma around the birthing world and motherhood — and it’s time we put that to an end! Ashley Brichter offers a beautiful balance of meeting women where they are and teaching them exactly what happens in the body when it prepares for childbirth. She is a childbirth educator, birth and postpartum doula, lactation counselor, and mama of two. 

She’s also the founder of Birth Smarter, which provides relevant and realistic education for expectant parents online and in-person in New York City and Salt Lake City.

If you are expecting, you can use the code HEALINGHORMONES for 10% off any Birth Smarter class. Note: Birth Smarter always offers alternative pricing to meet families where they are! If you are not able to pay the ticket price of a class, just send them a note with what you can afford and they will accommodate you if there is room in the class.
