Holistic Hormone Podcast with Eleanor Duelley

When I was a student in Nutrition school, I was all about the nutrients in food, the vitamins, minerals and processes of the body. I started thinking that living a healthy life must be all about the food. The more I learned about the body, the more I began to realize that there is much more to our physiology than just the food. Like, alot more! By this time in my life, having had 3 kids, changing...

The American College of Gastroenterology estimates that over 60 million Americans experience acid reflux at least once per month, and over 15 million experience acid reflux symptoms every day.   Acid reflux is not very well understood by most people. This is apparent when you think about the commercials that address the symptoms and what the medication they are offering actually does in the body....

Last year, I had a really busy season during the holidays and the more I piled on, the more I felt depleted. I just could never seem to catch my breath. This culminated to a minor nervous breakdown the day after Christmas, with full blown flu-like symptoms to boot. It was too much. I was giving to everyone, except myself. With the help of my husband, therapist and close friends, I was able to pull...

We've all felt that let down feeling when the doctor determines that there is "nothing wrong with" us, and any complaints are just that, complaints. That sucks. Really, really bad. I am here to let you know that you don't have to settle with that answer. Not only is it not accurate, it is disempowering and to me, that is way worse. Getting accurate, affordable testing is one of the cornerstones of...

There are many challenges to learning more about these natural treatments for healing. We can learn all about treatments for diabetes and high cholesterol in commercials during the morning news, but not very often are we told about the benefits of milk thistle because it is just not as profitable, or not as sexy as the new pill for blood sugar regulation. This kind of pisses me off. That we as a s...

Adrenal Fatigue is it real? Why is there so much controversy over this?  This is a term that has been thrown around since 1998. This term was invented by a chiropractor named James Wilson and applied to a collection of non-specific symptoms. There is no scientific evidence supporting the concept of adrenal fatigue and it is not recognized as a diagnosis by the scientific or medical communities. So...

Why do we think eating less and working out more will help us lose weight? This episode goes deep into the generational beliefs of outdated and damaging dieting advice that has not only proved to be ineffective at long-term weight loss, but has created many issues with hormone, endocrine, and mental health. “Diet culture refers to a rigid set of expectations about valuing thinness and attractivene...

Do you have inflammation in your body? You probably do if you feel fatigue, have headaches, joint pain, arthritis or asthma.  Inflammation is the body’s immune system response to a toxic irritant. Your body is designed to defend itself and keep you safe and alive, so  when things like infection, injury or disruptors come along, your body senses something isn’t right and jumps into action to stop t...
