Thrive with Carrie

In this episode of Thrive with Carrie, we’re diving deep into the world of holistic, low-tox living with my dear friend and fellow health coach, Michelle Borselle. Michelle has been on a journey of reducing toxins in her home and life, inspired by her daughter’s battle with autoimmune diseases. She shares how returning to homemade solutions—something rooted in her family traditions—has not only improved her family’s health but has also become a way of life. From homemade cleaners to nourishing family recipes, Michelle brings her wisdom on how simplifying what we use and eat can make a world of difference.

You’ll love hearing Michelle’s tips on how easy it is to start making small but impactful changes in your daily routine. From laundry detergent to foaming hand soap, she proves that creating your own non-toxic products can save time, money, and improve your well-being. Plus, we talk about how teaching these practices to our kids can create meaningful family connections. So, grab your favorite smoothie and join us as we explore the beauty and benefits of a low-tox lifestyle!

In this episode of Thrive with Carrie, I sit down with Dr. Erin Kinney, an amazing naturopathic doctor who specializes in helping stressed-out patients regain control of their health. Dr. Kinney shares her personal journey with depression and hormonal imbalances, which led her to naturopathic medicine. After struggling with low energy, weight gain, and emotional exhaustion in her 20s, she found healing through natural treatments that focused on balancing hormones and restoring her overall well-being. Her story is inspiring and offers hope to anyone facing similar challenges.

We also dive deep into understanding cortisol and its impact on the body. Dr. Kinney explains how cortisol, often misunderstood as the "bad guy," plays a crucial role in providing energy during stressful situations. She emphasizes the importance of maintaining balanced cortisol levels to avoid chronic fatigue, brain fog, and other health issues. This conversation sheds light on adrenal health, stress management, and practical steps to support hormonal balance. You won’t want to miss these insights into natural health and wellness!

In this episode of the "Thrive with Carrie" podcast, I’m thrilled to sit down with Dr. Ana Rodriguez, a brilliant naturopathic doctor and licensed acupuncturist. Ana shares her incredible journey from conventional medicine to a more holistic approach, focusing on women's health, metabolic disorders, and gut-related conditions. We dive deep into the topic of Small Intestinal Bacterial Overgrowth (SIBO), exploring what it is, how it’s diagnosed, and the importance of looking at the whole body when treating it. Ana's passion for using natural methods, like nutraceuticals and herbal medicine, shines through as she explains how she creates personalized healing plans that really work.

As we chat, Ana breaks down the different types of gases involved in SIBO and talks us through the breath tests used for diagnosis. We also discuss the crucial role of motility and how stress and diet play into the condition. I’m especially excited about the way Ana connects the dots between gut health and the nervous system, showing just how interconnected our bodies really are. This episode is packed with practical advice and actionable tips for anyone dealing with gut issues, and I know you’re going to walk away with a better understanding of how to take charge of your health from the inside out.
