What Is Inflammation?

Aligned to Rise Podcast ·

2026/10/07

Send us Fan Mail "You're just inflamed." If you've heard that and walked away with more questions than answers, this episode is for you. This kicks off a month-long series on inflammation, one of my favorite topics to nerd out on. Inflammation is one of the most overused and least understood words in health. Too often it's treated as the end of the conversation, when it should be the beginning. In this episode, I break down what inflammation really is: a normal, protective immune response tha...

Don't Shoot the Messenger: Why Your Hormones Aren't...

Aligned to Rise Podcast ·

2026/09/30

Send us Fan Mail So many women are told their hormones are "off" and sent home with birth control and no real explanation. I know that was my story. But hormones are chemical messengers: they respond to signals from the rest of your body. When they're out of balance, it's a sign something deeper needs support. In this episode, I break down the seven main things I look at in my practice that impact your hormones, so you can see the bigger picture and know there's something you can do about it....

2026/09/23

In this episode, I'm walking you through why standard serum (blood) hormone testing only gives us a tiny snapshot, and what testing can actually show us why your hormones are out of balance in the first place. In this episode, you'll hear: Why high estrogen doesn't look the same for everyoneWhat a GI Map and DUTCH test can ...

What Your Poop Can Tell You About Your Period Pain

2026/09/16

Send us Fan Mail If you've ever sat in a doctor's office describing period pain that knocks you flat, only to walk out with a birth control prescription and zero answers, this one's for you. I've been there. Years of debilitating periods, stage 4 endometriosis, and a whole lot of "everything looks normal." One of the things that made a real difference for me (and that I see move the needle with my clients over and over) wasn't something I was ever told to look at. It was my gut. Now, I'm not ...

What Your Doctor is Missing in Your Fertility Testing

2026/09/09

Send us Fan Mail One in six people will struggle with fertility in their lifetime, and especially if you've ever been handed a diagnosis of "unexplained infertility," this episode is for you. I know this journey intimately. It took me about nine years to bring my miracle girl into the world, including a stage four endometriosis diagnosis and being told IVF was my only option. Spoiler: it wasn't. And I've watched clients walk that same path (even ones told the same thing I was) go on to concei...
