Episode 90 - Dr. James Greenblatt, an internationally recognized pioneer in functional and integrative psychiatry, joins us for a second time to share a hopeful new perspective on treating depression. 

Moving beyond the standard "anti-sad pill" model, Dr. Greenblatt explains why traditional treatments often fail the one-third of patients labeled as "treatment refractory" and how a deep dive into root causes, from nutritional deficiencies to hormonal imbalances, can offer a path toward true healing.In this episode, we explore the brain as a high-performance metabolic machine that requires a specific "fuel" of vitamins, minerals, and healthy fats to function optimally. 

Dr. Greenblatt breaks down the essential labs every person struggling with depression should request, the truth about the gut-brain connection, and why women are particularly vulnerable to nutritional depletion during major hormonal transitions like postpartum and menopause. This is an empowering conversation designed to move you from feeling "numb" to feeling finally hopeful.

Episode 89 - Dr. Mallorie Cracroft, host of the Uplift for Her podcast and the founder/physician at Uplift For Her in Salt Lake City, breaks down Mast Cell Activation Syndrome (MCAS) in a way that actually feels understandable, especially if you’ve bounced between specialists and still don’t have real answers. If you’ve ever felt like your symptoms make no sense; hives one day, brain fog the next, anxiety or gut chaos out of nowhere… then this episode is for you.

You’ll learn what mast cells do, why they can become “trigger happy,” how MCAS shows up across multiple body systems (including hormones), and Dr. Cracroft’s practical, step-by-step approach to helping patients feel stable again.

Episode 88 - Karalynne Call, founder and CEO of Just Ingredients, shares the honest story behind her wellness brand: not a “perfect” health journey, but a gritty, layered healing process that started in one of the darkest seasons of her life. She opens up about severe depression, losing hope, and what finally helped her begin rebuilding from the ground up.  

Along the way, Karalynne explains why true healing is rarely one magic supplement, one lab test, or one “root cause.” Instead, it’s a toolbox—nutrition, movement, sleep, stress support, and knowing when to get professional help—done one small step at a time.

Episode 87 - Dr. Mallorie Cracroft, host of the Uplift for Her podcast and the founder/physician at Uplift For Her in Salt Lake City, brings an evidence-based, practical, and refreshingly no-fear perspective to detox. Detox can feel like one of those topics that instantly splits the room: either it’s “the cure to everything,” or it’s dismissed as “hippie medicine.”

You’ll learn what detox actually means in the body (hint: it’s not just a tea or a cleanse), why modern “low-grade” exposures add up, and how to support your natural detox pathways with steps that are realistic, doable, and effective over time.

Episode 86 - Monet Cash, therapist at Uplift for Her, explains why worry and stress are not inherently bad, and how they can actually help us problem-solve and stay safe when functioning properly. In this episode, we explore one of the most common concerns women are facing today: anxiety. With the phrase “I have anxiety” becoming part of everyday language, it can be hard to tell where normal human worry ends and when something more serious begins.

Monet brings decades of clinical experience helping women understand what’s happening in the brain when anxiety takes over–and what we can do about it. She shares insights on cultivating grit, tolerating discomfort, retraining rigid thought patterns, and why courage is about taking action even when fear is present. Finally, we discuss how language matters, why labels can be limiting, and how mindfulness and distress-tolerance practices help bring us back into the present moment.

Episode 85 - Dr. Mallorie Cracroft, host of the Uplift for Her podcast and the founder/physician at Uplift For Her in Salt Lake City, breaks down what the circadian rhythm is and how it communicates with nearly every major system in the body, including stress hormones, metabolism, blood sugar, cardiovascular health, and reproductive hormones. She explains the roles of cortisol and melatonin, why insulin sensitivity changes throughout the day, and how disrupted sleep can drive cravings, weight gain, anxiety, and hormone imbalances.

The episode also walks through common signs of circadian rhythm dysfunction, from morning exhaustion and afternoon crashes to nighttime awakenings and irregular cycles. She outlines practical, realistic steps to reset the body clock using light exposure, meal timing, sleep routines, and reduced stimulation at night.

Episode 84 - Sara Reardon, board-certified pelvic floor physical therapist and widely known as The Vagina Whisperer, joins us to unpack what pelvic floor health really means; and why women are so often left in the dark about it. Pelvic floor issues are incredibly common, but they’re not normal, and aren’t something women should be expected to tolerate.

With nearly two decades of clinical experience and hundreds of thousands of women engaging with her work online, Dr. Reardon shares what she hears most from patients: “I wish someone had told me this sooner.” Together, we explore the symptoms women normalize, why pelvic floor therapy is still treated as an afterthought, and how education, advocacy, and early care can radically change quality of life at every stage; from first periods through menopause and beyond.

Episode 83 - Dr. Mallorie Cracroft, host of the Uplift for Her podcast and the founder/physician at Uplift For Her in Salt Lake City, takes a nuanced, science-based look at intermittent fasting through the lens of women’s physiology, hormones, and real-life context. Intermittent fasting is everywhere from social media and podcasts to books and wellness influencers, but is it actually helpful for women? Or could it be doing more harm than good?

Rather than offering a one-size-fits-all answer, this episode unpacks when intermittent fasting may be supportive, when it may be harmful or stressful, and how women can make empowered, informed decisions by listening to their bodies and understanding the research—especially where the research is still lacking.

Episode 82 - Dr. Zac Spiritos breaks down what Mast Cell Activation Syndrome (MCAS) is and why it’s much more common than we think. Dr. Spiritos is a neurogastroenterologist known for connecting the dots between MCAS, POTS, hypermobility, gut dysfunction, and chronic unexplained symptoms. Together, we unpack why MCAS is so often missed, why it disproportionately affects women, and what it actually takes to begin feeling better.

If you’ve ever felt sensitive to everything; smells, foods, heat, medications, stress, and struggled with symptoms that seem to jump from system to system, this episode is one you don’t want to miss. Our conversation explores why MCAS is notoriously difficult to diagnose, including the lack of reliable biomarkers and the way symptoms wax and wane, organ-hop, and defy traditional medical algorithms. We also discuss the cultural and structural reasons MCAS is dismissed, especially in women, and why many patients are incorrectly labeled as anxious or psychosomatic.

Episode 81 - Creatine is more than just a muscle supplement. In this episode, Dr. Mallorie Cracroft, host of the Uplift For Her podcast and the founder/physician at Uplift For Her in Salt Lake City, dives deep into one of the most talked-about supplements right now: creatine. Often associated with bodybuilders and elite athletes, creatine has quietly become one of the most well-researched, and surprisingly relevant, tools for women’s health across the lifespan.

In this solo episode, Dr. Cracroft breaks down what creatine actually does in the body, why women may have an even greater need for it than men, and how it may support everything from muscle building and energy to brain health, mood, and the unique hormonal transitions women experience. Backed by science and delivered in an approachable, empowering way, this episode clears up confusion and offers practical guidance you can actually use.
