Why are you always exhausted, even when you sleep enough? Why does brain fog linger no matter what you try? In this episode of hol+, Dr. Taz MD sits down with Devi Brown, author, healer, and host of the Deeply Well podcast, to uncover the real reasons behind burnout, exhaustion, and chronic brain fog.

Devi reveals how unprocessed grief and trauma often disguise themselves as burnout and fatigue, why traditional wellness hacks don’t always work, and how reconnecting to your body, intuition, and five bodies of well-being (physical, mental, emotional, spiritual, and community) can create lasting healing.

You’ll learn how to recognize the early signs of misalignment, why meditation can feel hard when trauma is involved, and how Devi’s own journey with autoimmune illness and exhaustion led her to holistic and spiritual healing. This conversation will help you rethink exhaustion—not as a weakness, but as your body’s wisdom calling you back into balance.

What you’ll learn in this episode:
 • The hidden connection between burnout, grief, and brain fog
 • Why women often push through exhaustion until illness sets in
 • How trauma and early experiences can trigger autoimmune and chronic fatigue
 • Practical steps to heal: intuition, symptom awareness, and holistic self-care
 • Why quick fixes fail, and how to approach healing as lifelong work
 • How to hold grief and joy together without shutting down

If you’re tired of feeling tired, this episode will show you a new way forward, rooted in honesty, presence, and wisdom.

Topics Covered:
• Burnout as grief and how to recognize it
• The five bodies of wellbeing, physical, mental, emotional, spiritual, community
• Trauma informed practice and why meditation can feel hard
• Gut health, lifestyle patterns, and nervous system support
• Intuition first, then method, how to sequence your healing
• The dance of grief and joy
• Honest presence, compassion, and daily practice

In this powerful conversation, Devi Brown unpacks the true nature of burnout, reframing it as unresolved grief and spiritual disconnection. Drawing from her own journey through chronic pain, misdiagnosis, and exhaustion, she highlights how trauma, societal expectations, and misguided wellness culture often mask deeper emotional wounds. Devi shares how she healed through intuition, holistic practices, compassionate presence, and embracing grief and joy as coexisting forces. This episode offers clarity, compassion, and a clear pathway toward authentic, aligned healing.

What if everything you’ve been told about your body is based on male biology?

In this paradigm-shifting episode of Hol+, Dr. Taz MD sits down with Alisa Vitti, best-selling author, functional nutrition pioneer, and creator of the Cycle Syncing Method, to expose the second biological clock every woman has… and why ignoring it may be wrecking your hormones, energy, and mood.

While most health advice is built around the 24-hour circadian rhythm, Alisa reveals the overlooked 28-day infradian rhythm that governs everything from metabolism to immunity to brain function in women. By aligning with your unique hormonal cycle, you can reduce PMS, prevent early menopause, optimize fertility, and reclaim your vitality, without pills or guesswork.

 • The four phases of your cycle—and how to thrive in each one
 • How to eat, move, and rest based on your hormonal shifts
 • The hidden epidemic of early menopause (and how to prevent it)
 • What happened when she ate more and lost 20 pounds
• Why syncing with your cycle leads to stronger metabolism, better moods, and vibrant health

Whether you’re struggling with fatigue, hormonal chaos, or simply want to optimize your health as a woman, this conversation will transform the way you approach your body—and your power.

Topics Covered:

• The Infradian Rhythm: The female biological clock no one talks about

• What “cycle syncing” really means (and how to start)

• The hormonal impact of stress, sugar, and overtraining

• Why most fitness and diet trends fail women

• Blood sugar, insulin, and cortisol in female health

• How to reverse early menopause and support longevity

• Real talk on HRT, PCOS, fertility, and postpartum healing

What if the dream of “having it all” is quietly destroying women’s health?

In this brutally honest episode of hol+, Dr. Taz MD sits down with economist and Wharton professor Dr. Corinne Low to reveal the invisible forces behind the burnout epidemic affecting ambitious, high-achieving women. From breastfeeding in Amtrak bathrooms to chasing tenure while shouldering 100% of the household load, Dr. Low shares her personal crash—and the data that proves she’s not alone.

While society celebrates the superwoman myth, the reality is far more dangerous: women are breaking down emotionally, physically, and hormonally under impossible expectations. Dr. Low dismantles the cultural fantasy of balance and exposes the economic and biological math that simply doesn’t add up.

This episode is for every woman who's ever felt exhausted, stuck, and silently wondered, “Is this it?”

Dr. Low unpacks:

• Why modern motherhood and careerism don’t mix

• The data behind stress, anxiety, and chronic fatigue in women

• Why comparing yourself to men—or Instagram moms—keeps you trapped

• The myth of the 50/50 marriage (and what to do instead)

• The concept of “utility” and how it can reclaim your time

• How egg freezing gives women economic power and freedom

Whether you're navigating career, family, fertility, or all of the above, this conversation will shift how you see success, partnership, and your own worth.

Topics Covered:

• The Superwoman Lie and Burnout Crisis

• Why Gender Equality at Home Is Still a Myth

• The Economics of Time, Labor, and Emotional Load

• Using Utility Theory to Redesign Your Life

• Red Flags in Relationships Most Women Miss

• The Case for Egg Freezing and Delaying Marriage

What if breast cancer is already growing, and you don’t even know it? In this critical episode of hol+, Dr. Taz MD sits down with breast health expert and ultrasound sonographer Jasmine Khorsandi to explore the alarming rise in breast cancer among younger women and why many cases are being missed by traditional mammograms.

Jasmine shares her personal journey from burnout to breakthrough and reveals how cutting-edge technology like Sonociné ultrasound is saving lives by detecting breast cancer earlier, painlessly, and without radiation. Together, they dive deep into the emotional, hormonal, and spiritual layers of breast health — and how modern stress, disconnection from the feminine, and outdated screening systems are silently fueling a crisis.

• The difference between dense breast tissue and why it matters
• How Sonociné ultrasound detects tumors mammograms often miss
• The emotional trauma link: stress, relationships, and cancer
• Jasmine’s personal crash and healing journey in Bali
• Daily habits to reconnect with your body and feminine energy
• Why you should never wait until 40 to get screened

This episode is more than just education — it’s a wake-up call.

Topics Covered:

• The silent epidemic of early breast cancer
• Why mammograms alone aren’t enough
• Dense breast tissue and misdiagnosis
• The emotional roots of disease
• How feminine energy impacts health
• Sound healing, burnout, and spiritual reconnection

Is AI the future of medicine, or just another distraction from what truly heals us?

In this episode of hol+, Dr. Taz MD pulls back the curtain on the healthcare system and why it's still failing so many people. With over two decades observing and practicing integrative and functional medicine, Dr. Taz shares her unfiltered take on the future of health and healing: what’s working, what’s broken, and what has to change if we want real wellness, not just symptom management.

From her own story of burnout as a physician to helping thousands of patients who’ve “tried everything,” Dr. Taz reveals why AI, lab tests, and protocols alone can’t fix the chronic illness crisis and why holistic medicine is the only path forward.

You’ll learn why we must rethink everything from how we train doctors to how we define evidence-based care. If you're overwhelmed by mixed messages in the wellness space, tired of being reduced to lab numbers, or just want clarity on what really works to heal the body, this episode will challenge, inspire, and reawaken your understanding of what medicine can and should be.

Dr. Taz unpacks:

• Why AI may be efficient, but not human and what that means for patient care

• The chronic illness statistics that should scare us (and what’s missing from the solution)

• What “holistic medicine” actually means and why it’s not just woo

• The real reason so many patients still feel lost, even in functional medicine

• Her vision for healing centers of the future and why your story matters just as much as your labs

• How to start rethinking your own wellness path today

If you’ve ever felt unseen in the healthcare system or sensed there must be more to healing than prescriptions and protocols, this is the episode you’ve been waiting for.

Topics Covered:

• Functional vs. Integrative vs. Holistic Medicine

• Why AI can’t replace real human care

• Chronic disease, burnout, and the cost of a broken system

• What evidence-based medicine really means

• The multi-dimensional nature of healing

• How to move from symptom-chasing to whole-person care

• Building a new model of medicine, together
