the Beyond podcast

Friends, on this very special three-part series, I am going to dive head-first into my story.

The story that landed me here... that landed you all here. A journey that broke me to my core, only to build me back up stronger. 

My infertility. 

In the first episode of the series, I am going back to the beginning. I share with you the rollercoaster that is infertility and all that came with it - the heartbreak, the pain, the envy, the anger, the confusion, the guilt.  

They didn't nickname us "infertility warriors" for nothing!

Tune in to hear the moment I knew something had to change.

In this episode, I sit down with the incredible Dr. Arti Thangudu, a triple board-certified endocrinologist who’s on a mission to change the way we think about hormones and health. She breaks down what endocrinology is all about and explains why hormones play such a huge role in our overall well-being.

Dr. Arti gets real about some of the most common health conditions she treats — from diabetes and thyroid disorders to high blood pressure and cholesterol. And she doesn’t shy away from discussing the stigma around obesity. She talks about why we need better access to weight loss medications, especially GLP-1 receptor agonists (Ozempic), and how these can be game-changers for managing both diabetes and obesity.

And friends, it’s not just about meds! Dr. Arti is all about building strong foundations with sleep, nutrition, exercise, and stress management. She shares her tips on how to be your own advocate in the healthcare system, especially when dealing with insurance companies that don’t always make it easy. 

Dr. Arti wraps things up with a heartfelt reminder to celebrate every win — no matter how small — and to always try seeing ourselves through the eyes of the people who love us most. Whether you’re dealing with a chronic condition, advocating for yourself, or just looking to feel a little better each day, this conversation is packed with practical advice and encouragement.
