Her Healing Season

Your blood work came back normal. You still crash every afternoon, you feel bloated after chicken and rice, and you've been living with depression or anxiety for years. You've tried therapy, medication, supplements and diet changes, and you still don't feel like yourself.

In this episode of Her Healing Season, Rachel Montero and Bekah Uhl talk about what to do when standard labs don't explain your symptoms. They cover bioenergetic scanning, one of the tools they use inside Becoming You Again, and how it reveals the physical, emotional and energetic factors that can contribute to gut issues and hormone imbalance.

If you're tired of being told it's just stress, or your labs are normal, this episode will help you understand what may still be missing. It's never too late to heal.

GLP-1s are everywhere right now, but are we talking enough about what happens to your metabolism and muscle while you’re losing weight?

In this episode of Her Healing Season, I’m joined by Sharon Lemoine, a Nurse Practitioner and founder of a faith-based functional practice, for an important conversation about navigating GLP-1s and weight loss while supporting your overall health.

We dive into why the number on the scale doesn’t tell the whole story, the importance of protecting and building muscle during weight loss, and why strength training, nutrition, hormones, inflammation, and gut health all deserve a seat at the table.

Sharon also shares her personal journey through Type 1 diabetes, Graves’ disease, thyroid cancer, thyroidectomy, and surgical menopause and how walking through her own health challenges transformed the way she cares for women today.

We talk about using GLP-1s as a tool rather than a quick fix, looking beyond traditional weight and BMI measurements, and why understanding your body composition can completely change the way you approach your health.

Most importantly, this conversation is a reminder that caring for your body isn’t selfish. Stewarding your health well gives you greater strength and capacity to show up for the people you love and the calling God has placed on your life.

Whether you’re currently using a GLP-1, considering one, or simply trying to support your metabolism and feel stronger in your body, this episode will help you look beyond weight loss and toward building sustainable, whole-body health.

What if some of the things you’ve been taught are “healthy” are actually keeping you disconnected from your body?

In this episode, we’re unpacking the beliefs about health that we’ve had to unlearn, both through our own healing journeys and through working with hundreds of women.

We’re talking about food restriction that creates more fear instead of freedom, exercise that leaves you depleted instead of stronger, pushing through exhaustion, suppressing emotions, staying in situations that feel wrong, and trying to control your body instead of learning how to listen to it.

Because sometimes the answer isn’t another supplement, stricter diet, harder workout, or longer list of things you “should” be doing.

We also talk about our own experiences with burnout, gut issues, restriction, caregiving, changing careers, and discovering that feeling better isn’t just about fixing symptoms, it’s about coming back to yourself.

If you’ve been doing all the “right” things but still feel like something is missing, this conversation is for you.

If you've been told you have PCOS, there's something your doctor may not have mentioned: the name is changing. PMOS reflects what functional practitioners have known for years. This isn't just an ovary problem. It's a metabolic and cellular communication issue.

In this episode, Rachel and Bekah break down why one in eight women worldwide are affected, and why the standard playbook of metformin or birth control only manages symptoms instead of addressing what's actually happening in the body. They walk through the real drivers behind irregular cycles, acne, hair changes, and stubborn weight: nervous system dysregulation, blood sugar swings, mineral depletion, toxicity, and gut and liver function.

You'll learn:

• Why cells stop "listening" to hormone signals, even when hormone levels look normal on paper
• The connection between chronic stress and the onset of PCOS/PMOS symptoms
• What a hair trace mineral analysis can reveal that standard bloodwork misses
• Why birth control and metformin come with tradeoffs worth understanding before you commit to them long term
• How to start addressing the root causes, whether or not you have an official diagnosis

If you're tired of being told your labs are "fine" while you're the one living in your body, this episode will help you see the fuller picture and hand you a next step that isn't just another prescription.

After 24 years of unexplained symptoms, hypothyroidism, adrenal fatigue, and the devastating loss of her husband, Julie thought exhausted was just her normal. In this episode, she joins us to share her raw, honest journey through Becoming You Again — from crushing brain fog and social anxiety to reclaiming her energy, her allergies, her sleep, and her joy.

Julie opens up about what it really looks like to heal at the root: what her testing revealed, why somatic and nervous system work changed everything, and how she learned to tell the difference between a scared yes and a hard no. She talks candidly about grief, remarriage, becoming a grandmother, and rebuilding a body — and a life — that finally feels safe.

If you've been told your labs are "normal" but you still don't feel like yourself, this conversation is proof that root-cause healing is possible, at any age and any stage.

In this episode:

• Why traditional labs missed Julie's real root causes for over 20 years
• How mineral imbalances were driving her food sensitivities and inflammation
• The role of nervous system and somatic work in true healing
• Navigating grief, instability, and rebuilding health after loss
• What changed for her thyroid, allergies, sleep, and emotional regulation
• Her advice for any woman on the fence about starting her own healing journey

You've had your thyroid checked. Probably twice. Your doctor said everything looks normal — but you're still standing in your kitchen wondering why you walked in, rereading the same text three times, losing your train of thought mid-sentence at work.

So if it's not your thyroid… what is it?

In this episode, we walk through five things that can quietly cause brain fog — the kind that never shows up on a standard lab panel, no matter how many times you ask. Some of them live in how your blood sugar behaves hours after you eat, not in the moment your blood was drawn. One hides in an enzyme most people have never heard of. Another shows up as a pattern you could notice yourself, just by paying attention to how you feel when you're away from your own house.

We also get into why we don't hand our clients a supplement list and send them on their way — and what we actually look for instead, before we ever talk about what to take.

If you've already tried the detoxes, the nootropics, the "just manage your stress" advice, and you're still foggy — this one's for you.

You've already cut the gluten. Probably dairy too. Maybe FODMAPs. You've taken the probiotics, tracked your food, and still — you're bloated, you're exhausted, and you look six months pregnant after eating a salad.

What if the food was never the whole answer?

In this episode, Rachel and Bekah get into the conversation most practitioners skip entirely — the connection between your gut and everything you've been swallowing that has nothing to do with food. The yes you said when you meant no. The conversation you keep putting off. The needs you've quietly moved to the bottom of the list for years.

This isn't woo. This shows up on your labs. It shows up in your cortisol, your gut infections, your bacterial overgrowth, your leaky gut markers. Your body has been keeping score of every time you held it together for everyone else, and now it's communicating.

If you're a high-achieving woman who does everything right and still can't figure out why your body won't cooperate — this episode is the missing piece nobody handed you.

Your gut isn't broken. It's been holding something. And it's time to finally put it down.

✨ The difference between healthy cortisol rhythms and cortisol dysfunction
✨ Why you're crashing at 2 PM but wide awake at 10 PM
✨ How blood sugar, minerals, gut health, and hormones affect cortisol levels

In this episode, Rachel and Bekah walk through exactly what they found when they ran an HTMA and bioenergetic scan, why Ashley's thyroid hormone wasn't being utilized at the cellular level, and the role that grief and suppressed voice played in her thyroid dysfunction. This is what root-cause healing actually looks like.
