About Candace: 

 

Candace Burch (M.A.) is a Hormone Health Educator with 30 years of experience advocating for safe, natural approaches to hormone balance and disease prevention. Today, Candace runs Your Hormone Balance, a hormone testing and consulting practice that helps individuals detect and correct hidden hormonal imbalances that negatively impact health and longevity.

 

For over a decade, Candace served as the Director of Education at one of the nation’s leading hormone testing labs, working closely with top experts in functional medicine and bioidentical hormone replacement therapy. She developed training programs and educational resources for thousands of providers and their patients and was the first to integrate hormone testing into a nationwide weight loss program.

 

Having personally battled hormone imbalances during menopause, Candace like so many other women could not find the support and treatment she needed from traditional doctors. By testing her hormones in saliva and following an all-natural rebalancing plan, she was able to reverse her symptoms and regain control of her life. Today, Candace helps hundreds of clients do the same while continuing to raise public awareness about hormone health through her work as a public speaker, writer, and founder of Women in Balance, an educational non-profit.

I couldn't let #pridemonth pass without holding space for those who need somewhere safe to share their coming out stories without judgment or shame. Today, I sit with Lex as they detail their vulnerable experiences with family rejection, deconstructing binary beliefs, and navigating the heartache and nuance of defining their sexuality/identity. 

--

Lex identifies as non-binary and their pronouns are they/them and occasionally she/her. They are a grad student at the University of Utah beginning their degree in clinical mental health counseling. They plan to be a therapist with a focus on gender and sexuality and to provide support and acceptance to those who are underserved and underrepresented.

In today's episode, I am sitting down with my dear friend Jo for a messy (but timely) conversation about race, tokenism, female leadership, how she's navigating the nuances of using her voice in our current climate as a Filipino-American, and her personal experiences of feeling"less than" because of the color of her skin.

Gratitude Practice-At the end of our convo, Jo grounds us with a gratitude practice. Here's why: 

An endocrine system boost comes from inducing positive emotions when conjuring gratitude alongside the exponential impact of sharing good news with trusted others.  This is called capitalization.

Benefits:

Opens the mind to learning

Chemical boost

Allows the nervous system to calm down

An added benefit of starting with gratitude is that positive emotions support brain function and by taking the time to get into a positive mindset we prime our brains for learning.

At the neurochemical level, feelings of gratitude are associated with an increase in the neural modulation of the prefrontal cortex, the brain site responsible for managing negative emotions like guilt, shame, and violence.

Also, at the neurochemical level, gratitude acts as a catalyst for neurotransmitters like serotonin, dopamine, and norepinephrine – the ones that manage our emotions, anxiety, and immediate stress responses.

"A mother of 3, board-certified health coach, holistic nutritionist, plant-focused chef, and two-time breast cancer survivor. I was first diagnosed at 33 after my third child queued me in while nursing that something wasn’t right. From that moment life has never been the same and in a strange way that makes me happy. I live a much fuller life than I ever imagined. After years of coaching women, corporate wellness & motivational talks, I learned how much women need support and a trusted knowledgeable girlfriend to help them navigate womanhood. My answer to that was starting Flourish Rx, a women’s wellness brand dedicated to empowering women through all stages of their life. Throughout my journey with cancer and early menopause, I started creating recipes for things beyond food, to help me heal and feel good. That’s how my products were born. Researching, mixing, creating; with a focus on natural and simple ingredients." 

-Candice Witek, Founder of Flourish Rx
