There’s something surprising I’ve learned from two very different journeys in my life.
Training for an Ironman triathlon and healing from chronic illness have far more in common than most people realize.
In this episode, I’m breaking down the unexpected parallels I’ve noticed between pushing my body through one of the world’s toughest endurance events and navigating my own healing journey with endometriosis and chronic health challenges.
What I’ve come to understand is this.
Healing isn’t always about doing more.
Sometimes you can be eating well, taking the supplements, working with the right practitioners, doing everything “right” and still feel completely stuck.
Why?
Because healing often requires more than physical protocols.
It requires looking at the subconscious patterns, identity shifts, emotional protection mechanisms, and deeper internal conflicts that may be keeping your body exactly where it is.
Inside this episode, we talk about:
• Why healing can feel harder than even extreme physical training
• The subconscious patterns that may be blocking progress
• Why your body may be protecting you, not working against you
• The identity shifts required for true transformation
• How chronic symptoms can sometimes reveal deeper lessons your body is asking you to pay attention to
If you’ve been doing everything you can to heal and still feel like you’re spinning your wheels, this conversation might help you see your journey through a completely different lens.
Sometimes the next step in healing isn’t doing more.
It’s understanding what your body has been trying to tell you all along.
And if this episode resonated with you, especially if you feel like you’ve been doing all the right things for your health but still aren’t seeing the progress you know is possible, I put together a free training that walks through what I believe are the four biggest keys to reversing chronic illness and truly optimizing your health.
Because sometimes the missing piece isn’t doing more.
It’s understanding what your body actually needs in order to heal.
You can watch that free training here.

This may be hard to hear, but the reason you haven't found solutions for your chronic symptoms isn't because you need another diagnosis, supplement, or protocol.
You can chase those all day long but what you really need is clarity. Clarity and a roadmap that's specific to you. And you don't get those from labs, supplements, and diet changes alone.
Do they help? Yes. But when they aren't the full solution, like they weren't for me and many of my clients, you have to start asking better questions and going deeper.

We've been sold a story about transformation (and honestly trying to heal from chronic health issues) that sets us up to feel like we're failing when we're actually just in the middle of it. This is what healing and transformational journeys really look like.

"The fact that part of you is loyal to the problem doesn't mean you're broken. It means you're human. And it means the work is deeper than behavior change." This one was really hard for me to hear when I was suffering with health issues and migraines, but it unlocked some major areas that lead to deep healing and relief. The question to start asking begins here: what would actually change in your life if the problem went away? Not the obvious answer (like well I'd be pain free and I'd get my life back), the real one. Because sometimes the answer reveals something we weren't expecting.

The anxiety you've been managing, the brain fog you've been pushing through, the exhaustion that no amount of sleep seems to fix are all your body's way of trying to communicate with you. Are you listening?

Is there someone or something in your life that just gets under your skin? No matter how much you think about it, talk about it, or try to "change" it - you just still get the same feeling/reaction every time. Another way to think about triggers, is less of thinking about them as a "problem" and more of an opportunity to get curious.

The clients of mine that heal from chronic pain and health issues are the ones who are able to transform into a better version of themselves. That's how they get out of the "gap". They finally understood that the person they were was the one that played a part or role in some way in creating the chronic health issues they had and that to finally heal they would need to change at the root, identity level.

Have you ever gotten close to what you wanted only to see it seem to fall apart or pull away? You start to make progress losing weight and then somehow the momentum fades. You finally seem to have found something that's working for your chronic pain and health issues only to not completely follow through. I know it can seem like that part of you is the enemy, but what if the part of you that keeps pulling back, shutting down, going quiet right when things start to get good, what if it isn't your enemy and actually a part that's trying to protect you?

When life feels out of control, most high-achieving women do the same thing: make a better plan. Track more. Optimize harder. But what if that instinct, the one that's kept you "on top of things", is actually the thing keeping you exhausted?
In this episode:
"Control is not peace. Control is exhausting. And the more you tighten your grip, the more your nervous system reads that as a threat signal." — Dr. Kirstin Lauritzen

Have you ever set a real goal, something you genuinely wanted, and then watched yourself slowly not do it? Not because you stopped caring, but because something invisible kept pulling you back?
In this episode, Dr. Kirstin Lauritzen kicks off a brand new series with a truth that might just change everything: your struggle to stay consistent isn't a discipline problem.
The world loves to tell you to try harder, want it more, build better habits. And maybe that's worked for a while. But if you've been through the programs, done the protocols, hired the coaches, and you're still feeling like you're fighting yourself every single day, this series is for you.
Dr. Kirstin breaks down why willpower alone will never be enough and what's actually running underneath your behavior at an unconscious level. Drawing on NLP, functional medicine, chiropractic, and human nutrition, she introduces the concept of Cause and Effect and what it really means to stop reacting to life and start being at the cause of it.
She also makes the case that most mindset work misses a critical piece: your physiology. Your hormones, minerals, and nervous system aren't separate from your thoughts and mood, they're directly shaping them. You cannot think your way out of a physiology problem. And you can't fix your physiology while your nervous system is stuck in survival mode.
In this episode, you'll hear:
Why discipline and willpower aren't the real issue and what actually is
The NLP concept of Cause vs. Effect, and how most of us are trained to live on the wrong side of it
Why your mind and body cannot be treated as separate systems
What's coming in this series and why it goes deeper than anything you've tried before
How a Hair Tissue Mineral Analysis (HTMA) can reveal what's happening in your body at a cellular level and why it might be your most powerful first step
