Nadine Artemis joins me on the podcast to discuss the information that can change the way you think of your oral dental health care.

I was on different versions of the birth control pill for about 7 years. I reacted horribly to one prescription, but when I talked to my doctor about it, I felt like I wasn't heard. I had to advocate for myself and it worked. But then, years later, I realized that I didn't have all the information to be a true advocate for my holistic health. Why didn't I have all the information when I was first...

I am delighted to have a guest on this episode that I had on the show a few weeks back, Dr. Stephanie Estima. Towards the end of episode 135 , we started to talk about eating strategies designed specifically for women's health. And I said to her: you know, this feels like another whole conversation. So, here we are, having another whole conversation! In this episode, we cover fasting, keto, pitfal...

If you are menstruating, you will go through four phases in each cycle. Each phase is marked by hormonal fluctuations and other changes in your body, which means we can predict a bit about what will be happening with your mood in each phase. This is part of why tracking your cycle can be really useful- if you can predict your mood then you can schedule work, social events, workouts, and other part...

I really feel like my husband and I have become financial ninjas in the last 5 - 7 years. My finances now bring me joy instead of stress. I've really flipped my story throughout my financial journey. That's why I wanted to have this conversation- I want all of you to get rid of the stress and shame that so many people feel when it comes to their finances. So I invited Paula Willimek to join me for...

The DUTCH that we're interested in is the Dried Urinary Test for Comprehensive Hormones. This test is administered during the luteal phase of your menstrual cycle. That's the second half of your cycle after ovulation and right before your period. A menstrual cycle has four phases and during each phase, distinct things are happening with the body, including hormonal fluctuations. Testing at the pea...

I had so many "aha" moments during this conversation. You could say that Stephanie Dodier helps women break away from diet culture. But that doesn't do her work justice. She promotes counterculture principles that permanently change how women relate to their bodies, including how to de-link self-love from body love and how to disrupt harmful generational knowledge transfer. She is emp owering wome...

In this episode of  The Simplicity "Bite" Sessions,  I am talking all about TSH, which is not a Thyroid Hormone.   TSH is often used to test the condition of the Thyroid if you are exhibiting Thyroid issues; however, TSH does NOT give the full picture. Testing for TSH can give you an idea as to whether your Thyroid is under or over-producing hormones. Unfortunately, screening for TSH is problemati...

I am joined by my friend Dr. Stephanie Estima to today's episode ( which is the first of two parts), to talks about how important is for us to change the narrative in regards to taking care of our bodies as women, to learn to pay attention to the signs and symptoms, honoring where we are at, having awareness about the different phases in our cycles and the energetic phases of the seasons as well....

Today, I am excited to share a great talk I had with Victoria Albina during which we discussed very common themes in women's lives. From what it's like being "the good girl", "the fixer" and taking on other people's burdens and emotions.

In this episode of The Simplicity "Bite" Sessions, I dive into a topic that will be of interest to women who will or have had their gallbladder removed. A lot of women are told that their gallbladder needs to be removed for their health to improve, the truth is that it is often not the root cause of your health issues but rather just a symptom.   These are the main topics in this short but resourc...

Welcome to another episode of The Simplicity "Bite" Sessions.

Your morning is what is goi...
