Her Healing Path

This week kicks off "The Guest Series" — a curated collection featuring some of the most loved and listened-to interviews on the podcast.

In this 5-part series, you'll hear from trusted voices in women's health on topics like menstrual cycles, hormone balance, body image, relationships, nervous system healing, and integrative medicine. These episodes have been the most downloaded, shared, and re-listened to in our community, and for good reason. They hold the kind of insights that meet you in a new way each time you hear them — giving you exactly what you need, when you need it.

In this first episode, we explore menstrual cycles with period expert Nicole Jardim. We break down the phases of the menstrual cycle, how to track them, and the effects of factors like hormonal disruptors and stress on fertility. We also discuss the extensive health impacts of hormonal birth control and why it doesn't address the underlying root cause in conditions like PCOS and endometriosis. Tune in to learn how to identify period signs of hormonal imbalance and discover simple solutions that will transform your health.

In this heartfelt episode, I share my son Noah's birth story — recorded straight from bed in the early days of his newborn life. What was supposed to be a natural, unmedicated birth turned into a whirlwind series of medical interventions and, ultimately, an emergency procedure that forced me to surrender entirely. I open up about the physical and emotional intensity of the experience, the heartbreak of being separated after birth, and the gratitude that came with finally holding my healthy baby boy. This episode is a reminder that even when things don't go according to plan, beauty, resilience, and healing can still be found in the unexpected.

When most people think about healing their gut, they immediately start cutting things out: gluten, dairy, sugar, coffee. And while there's a time and place for temporary restrictions, true gut healing isn't just about what you remove — it's about what you add in. Your gut thrives on specific nutrients and daily habits that balance your microbiome, repair your gut lining, and keep harmful overgrowths in check. In this episode, I break down both sides: the foods and practices that actually move the needle on gut health, and the hidden habits that quietly sabotage it without you realizing. This is a sustainable, balanced approach that takes the stress out of gut healing, so you can finally feel better without feeling restricted.

Feeling constantly exhausted is one of the most common frustrations I hear from women and it's rarely solved by "just getting more sleep" or "reducing stress." You can be sleeping 8+ hours, eating clean, even working out regularly, and still drag yourself through the day. Sound familiar? In this episode, I break down the four most common root causes of chronic fatigue I see in my practice, why they drain your energy at the cellular level, what signs to look out for, and simple shifts you can start making right away to get your energy back.

For most women juggling careers, kids, or just everyday life, the morning routines we see on social media are just not realistic.. or even necessary. In this episode, I break down the four essential pillars of a simple morning routine that will truly support your hormones, energy, and overall health. I share the science behind why these habits matter, how to adapt them to your season of life (yes, even if you're exhausted or short on time), and what my own personal morning routine looks like right now. Making these shifts in my life made a huge difference in my own healing and they can for you too.

In this Q&A episode, I'm answering your questions while I wait for baby boy's arrival. I share how holistic and functional practitioners differ from doctors and specialists, how I'm prepping for birth and postpartum, and how to tell if your fatigue is hormonal or something else.

If you've ever wondered what holistic health really looks like in practice (or you're curious about the behind-the-scenes of my own health and pregnancy), this episode is packed with insights.

In this episode, I sit down with Megan Heddinger, founder and creative director of Wilde House Paper, which started as a design studio and has evolved into a brand that creates beautiful journals and intentional tools that support real, sustainable journaling practices. Megan and I talk about how journaling isn't just about checking something off your wellness to-do list — it's a grounding practice for nervous system regulation, clarity, and healing. We discuss how to get past the intimidation many people feel when starting to journal, the myth of a "perfect morning routine," and how to make journaling simple, personal, and meaningful. If you've ever felt too busy or unsure of where to begin, this conversation will show you how journaling can become a realistic part of your life and a powerful tool for transformation.

You can learn more about Wilde House Paper journals + planners (including the Open Journal we discuss in the episode) through their website and on Instagram @wildehousepaper!

This is the last episode of "The Essentials" — a throwback mini-series in honor of our 50th episode! Each episode in this 5-part series has been thoughtfully selected from the archives to illuminate a different foundational layer of women's health.

In this episode, I share my morning and evening routines, which help bring stability and balance to my day. I begin by recapping my recent trip to Tunisia and France, share some of my natural tips for jet lag, and talk about how I adjust back to a routine after traveling. I start with my morning routine, including my favorite way to meditate, my morning skincare routine, and what I eat for breakfast. Plus the one key aspect of my morning routine that completely shifted my mental and physical health. Then, I get into my evening routine and how I wind down my nervous system for a good night's sleep. I highly recommend a daily routine for better focus, energy, mood, digestion, immunity, and sleep.

Then I outline my two-step process to addressing these concerns and getting to the root cause. I discuss the specific functional labs I use to help us understand what's really happening in the body.
