EPISODE #112 — OCT 30, 2026
In this week’s episode, I'm answering your questions about a mix of women's health topics, from digestive issues and hormone imbalances to fertility, postpartum recovery, and navigating the world of functional testing and supplements. We talk about why symptoms that seem similar can have completely different underlying causes, what your menstrual cycle can tell you about your health, and how to approach testing and supplements without overcomplicating things. I'm also sharing what my journey into functional health looked like, balancing motherhood with running a business, and preparing for baby #2.
