If you’ve ever felt burned out, ignored by the medical system, overwhelmed by symptoms, or terrified of menopause because of what everyone says about it, this episode is for you. Brandi Garden, co-founder of Eversio Wellness and author of Healing Your Body, Mind, and Soul, shares how she went from autoimmune disease, burnout, and skin cancer to sailing through perimenopause without a single symptom. She’s here to show you how to become the CEO of your own health.

In this episode we’re sharing:

• Why waiting for the perfect time to take care of your health keeps you stuck in the same cycle  
• How Brandi went from psoriatic arthritis, chronic inflammation, and emotional burnout to genuine joy, energy, and balance  
• The mindset shift that changed everything: moving from identifying with symptoms to seeing them as signals of imbalance
• Why women avoid running labs or making changes, and the surprising payoff of staying in the comfort zone
• How mushrooms like reishi, cordyceps, lion’s mane, tremella, and maitake help regulate stress, blood sugar, inflammation, and hormones
• How maitake supports ovulation, insulin sensitivity, immune function, and even A1C levels 
• Why balancing foundational hormones makes perimenopause and menopause easier 
• What it actually means to “co-regulate,” ask for help, build emotional resilience, and stop living in survival mode 
• The story behind Brandi’s new five-mushroom blend, and how to use it for perimenopause, energy, mood, and metabolic health 
• How her new book blends memoir, mindset, actionable exercises to help you create real change 

You’re not your diagnosis, your symptoms, or your past. This episode will help you trust your intuition, regulate stress, nourish your hormones, and take the small, courageous steps that create the future you actually want without waiting for rock bottom to force you there.
