Her Healing Path

When most people hear the word "metabolism," they think about weight or how many calories they're burning. But your metabolism is so much more than that. It influences your energy, brain function, stress response, hormones, recovery, and your body's ability to adapt to everyday life. In this fourth episode of my Functional Lab Testing Series, we're exploring how metabolism impacts nearly every sys...

Hormones are one of the most misunderstood areas of women's health. Too often we're told our hormones are "normal" because a blood test measured one or two hormones at a single moment in time. But hormones are much more complex than that. In this third episode of my Functional Lab Testing Series, we're diving into comprehensive hormone testing and why looking at hormone levels alone rarely tells t...

Your gut is connected to far more than just digestion. Skin issues, hormone imbalances, fatigue, food sensitivities, inflammation, and even nutrient deficiencies can all have roots in the gut. But how do you know when gut testing is actually necessary? In this second episode of my Functional Lab Testing Series, we're diving into one of the most valuable tools I use in my practice: comprehensive gu...

Functional lab testing can feel overwhelming. Should you test everything? Are your annual labs enough? Why do so many people still feel awful when they're told their labs are "normal"? In this first episode of my Functional Lab Testing Series, I'm sharing the framework I use to help clients make sense of functional testing. We talk about why I don't believe testing everything at once is the best a...

Trauma isn't just something that affects your thoughts. It can have a profound impact on your physical health too. In this episode, I share my own story of trauma, toxic relationships, burnout, and my path to understanding how those experiences were showing up in my body. We talk about the connection between trauma, the nervous system, cortisol, hormones, gut health, and why healing from trauma of...

What happens in your baby's gut during the first 1000 days of life can have a profound impact on their future health. In this episode, I'm joined by Cheryl Sew Hoy, founder of Tiny Health, to talk about the infant microbiome, how it develops, and why it's becoming such an important piece of the conversation around children's health. We discuss everything from C-sections and antibiotics to colic, e...

In this episode, I'm sharing a little life update and bringing you behind the scenes of what's been going on lately. We talk about Noah's latest sleep phase and how months of interrupted sleep have shown up in my own lab results. I also share an update on our kitchen remodel after discovering mold earlier this year. We get into what it's been like introducing solids and some of the unexpected chal...

In this episode, I'm answering your postpartum questions and talking through some of the most common things women experience after having a baby – physically, mentally, and emotionally. We get into exhaustion, hormones, digestion, breastfeeding, metabolism, nervous system stress, and recovery timelines. I also share my perspective on postpartum healing from both a personal and practitioner standpo...

My postpartum lab results were surprising. In this episode, I'm walking you through what I tested and how pregnancy, birth, breastfeeding, stress, sleep deprivation, and overall life left very real patterns in my body months later. We talk about the difference between conventional vs. functional lab interpretation and why context matters just as much as the lab values themselves. To that point, I...

Bloating is one of the most common symptoms I see in women's health, but not all bloating looks the same. The timing, patterns, and surrounding symptoms can actually tell us a lot about what may be causing it. In this episode, I'm breaking down the different types of bloating I commonly see clinically and some of the most common patterns I find on functional lab tests of women struggling with chro...

If I could go back to the beginning of my health journey, I would do things very differently. I honestly made things a lot harder than they needed to be. For a long time, I thought healing meant doing more. More supplements, more routines, more restriction, more effort and constantly trying to optimize everything. But looking back, a lot of that was just adding stress to a system that was already...

In this episode, I'm breaking down what actually happens in your body on birth control and what it looks like to come off of it. Birth control is often presented as a quick fix for things like acne, PMS, irregular cycles, or menstrual pain (among other things). But what's rarely explained is that it doesn't actually resolve those issues — it suppresses your natural hormone cycle. So when you come...

In this episode, I'm talking about something I don't think we talk about enough in the health space: the overwhelming pressure to optimize everything. Your morning routine, your supplements, your workouts, your nutrition and at a certain point, your health becomes just another thing (or many things) on your to-do list. From what I've seen, that's exactly where things start to break down. Because e...

In this episode, I'm joined by Kelly Love (co-founder of Branch Basics ) to dive into one of the most overlooked pieces of health: everyday toxin exposure, especially in your home. Many women are so focused on nutrition, supplements, and workouts that they miss this key piece. In this conversation, we break down where these toxins are hiding and how these daily exposures can impact your hormones,...

In this episode, I'm breaking down one of the most common patterns I see in my practice: women doing everything "right" for their skin and still struggling with acne. Spoiler alert: it's rarely just a skincare issue and often reflects deeper imbalances. I walk you through the internal systems that most commonly drive skin issues and how the same symptoms can come from different root causes. If you...

This episode is a highlight reel from the past few months, pulling together some of the most important conversations we've had around gut health, hormones, metabolism, fertility, and foundational healing. As I revisited these episodes, one theme kept coming up again and again: doing less, but doing it better. Instead of chasing trends, cutting more foods, or layering on more supplements, this seas...

In this episode, I'm walking you through a client case study that highlights how important nutrition is during pregnancy and postpartum. These are two of the most demanding phases for your body, and many women are still undernourished going into them. I break down what happens in your body during pregnancy when nutrients are low. We also talk about how this can show up postpartum and the key found...

In this episode, I'm talking about something that comes up with so many women who walk into my practice: stubborn weight. Many women I work with are already eating well, exercising, and trying to take care of their health—but the scale won't move or they're gaining weight without understanding why. That disconnect can feel incredibly frustrating. The reality is that weight isn't always about sheer...

In today's episode, I'm sharing a little life update. Between baby milestones and some unexpected things happening in our home, life has been full lately. I share some of the moments that have made this phase of motherhood so special, along with a few adorable adventures with Noah as he starts experiencing more of the world. I also share a shocking situation we recently uncovered in our home that...

In this fourth and final episode of the Gut Reset Mini Series, I'm answering listeners' questions. We discuss how stress, hormones, travel, sleep, and routine changes can impact your gut. We talk about why symptoms can flare even when you feel like you're doing "everything right" and what certain reactions can mean (like bloating, fiber intolerance, probiotics making things worse). I also share ho...

In this third episode of the Gut Reset Mini Series, I walk you through the framework I use with clients for actual gut repair and how all the pieces come together once you have your results. I explain the phases of gut repair I use in practice and why the order matters. We talk about why so many gut protocols fail and what it really takes to heal in a way that's sustainable. If you've tried "every...

In this second episode of the Gut Reset Mini Series, I walk you through how I actually assess gut health and what can show up on a comprehensive gut test. Once you understand how connected your gut is to hormones, energy, skin, mood, and immunity, the next question is usually: how do I know what's happening in my body? We talk about why symptoms alone can be misleading and how the same symptom can...

This episode kicks off the Gut Reset Mini Series — a 4-part deep dive into the foundations of gut health and how true gut repair works. In this first episode, I'm walking you through how your gut influences nearly every system in your body and the most common root causes of gut imbalance I see clinically. Women often come to me with symptoms that feel "random" (things like acne, fatigue, PMS, anxi...

In this episode, I'm getting into fertility from a holistic perspective and breaking down why so many women feel stuck when standard labs come back "normal." I'm seeing this come up again and again in my practice: women who are doing all the right things, tracking their cycles, eating well, taking supplements, and still being told they have "unexplained infertility." The thing is, fertility is a r...

In this episode, I'm joined by Kylie Ivanir, a registered dietitian and the founder of Within Nutrition, to talk about what actually supports healing and what can get in the way. We discuss why so many women feel like they're doing everything right (eating well, taking supplements, exercising) yet they are *still* struggling with gut issues and hormone imbalances. Kylie shares her perspective on f...
