The Alignment Show

TW: Eating disorders, mental health.

This week is such a special episode between Melissa and her client Tamara. When Tamara first came to us, she was struggling with a nagging leg injury, having difficulty recovering from multiple surgeries as well as overcoming her ED thoughts, and was very much stuck in a place of not taking care of herself. She knew she needed to eat more, train less, and focus on recovery... but she was still holding herself back. We fully dive into her journey here.

On top of that, Tamara shares more about the mental side of things, how her support system helped her get out of the trenches, and her WHY behind her entire fitness journey. Tamara has an incredible story and has overcome so much; we couldn't be MORE proud of her. And fun fact - she's now an Alignment staff member who helps us grow our mission! Truly a fairytale. :')

Today we're talking with Katy Whalen, an expert on peptide therapy and an all-around incredible woman! In this episode, Katy shares her story about entering into motherhood and how that funneled her into the path she's on now in the women's wellness world. She shares more about peptide therapy and how different peptides can address various hormonal symptoms that most women suffer from, including skin issues and gut health dysfunction.

Katy also does a wonderful job sharing advice for aspiring and new moms, as she's been through quite the journey herself. Throughout their journey, Katy and her husband Josh had many ups and downs, which ultimately led them to create their two companies -- Blokes (for men's hormonal health) and Joi (for women's hormonal health)!

Today we're introducing you to Dr. Julie Foucher, a board-certified family physician who completed her coursework through the Institute for Functional Medicine. She received her undergraduate degree from the University of Michigan in Biomedical Engineering and completed her medical school and residency training at the Cleveland Clinic. Julie also holds a Master's in Nutrition from Case Western Reserve University and has completed the Integrative Medicine in Residency curriculum through the University of Arizona.

We start off by having Dr. Foucher share her story and the path that led her to functional medicine, as well as what exactly functional medicine means and how she uses it in her practice at Wild Health. (Which is also an incredible company that she elaborates on here - all about personalized health coaching with qualified healthcare providers to walk you through every step of your journey!)

We also talk about guiding principles with nutrition and her experience with competing in the CrossFit games from 2010-2015, where she consistently finished among the top 5 women with two podium finishes!

Julie's passion truly lies in bridging the gap between fitness and medicine to empower individuals to live healthier, more fulfilling lives, and she shares a ton of wisdom and expertise in this episode!
