We discuss why these infections are more common during pregnancy, oral contraceptive use and menopause. We also chat about natural ways to positively influence the vaginal microbiome through food and supplemental strategies to help prevent and heal vaginal infections.

The vagus nerve is a key piece to regulating inflammation levels in the body. In this episode I talk with Dr. Habib, a vagus nerve expert and author of the book, Activate Your Vagus Nerve: Unleash Your Body's Natural Ability to Heal. We discuss the role of the vagus nerve in regulating hormone signaling, the immune system and inflammatory response in the body, motility in our gut (how quickly food passes through your GI tract) and more. Tune in to learn about the role of the vagus nerve and simple ways you can support vagal tone with both daily routines and vagus nerve therapies.

Minerals are the keys to unlocking better hormone production, conversion and utilization in the body. The thyroid gland is a particularly mineral dependent gland. It uses the mineral iodine to make thyroid hormones. Plus utilizes other complementary minerals to help with conversion and activation of these hormones as well as in regulating the oxidative stress that occurs during thyroid hormone production. Tune into this episode to learn about the role of these specific minerals, situations that deplete mineral levels and mineral testing I recommend.

Endometriosis is a common women's health condition, affecting roughly 11% of women ages 15 - 44. Unfortunately treatment options are limited and the time it takes to receive diagnosis is extensive which means many women suffer for several years before seeking relief. In this episode I interview endometriosis expert, Dr. Alexis Gonzales to discuss endometriosis, its drivers and the natural treatment options available. We discuss how functional medicine can be a life changing treatment approach for women and the many intricacies of treatment. We answer the question: is endometriosis a hormonal issue or an immune system imbalance and how chronic inflammation plays a role in this condition.

Light exposure has a profound impact on our circadian rhythm control. That's because when our pineal gland (behind our eye) senses bright light or blue light, this regulates melatonin and cortisol production. In this episode I interview my dear friend and colleague, Sarah Marlette to tell us about how circadian rhythm influences hormone regulation. We discuss what the research says on circadian disruption and hormone imbalances as well as ways to support your circadian rhythm for night shift workers and new parents. Plus we chat a little bit about my current interest in this topic around oxytocin production during labor!

You've likely heard the word mitochondria before and maybe wondered what are those things and why do people say they are so important? The truth is they really are that important, especially as it relates to the thyroid, fertility and autoimmunity. In this podcast episode I uncover everything you must know about mitochondrial health, its connection to our endocrine and immune system and ways to support it. We chat about the populations at the greatest risk of mitochondrial dysfunction (hint: I'm looking at you extreme exercisers). Tune in to learn more!
