I had the most fascinating conversation with Dr. Lé Santha Naidoo about something I see constantly in my practice: high-achieving women who've learned to "handle everything" but struggle to receive help—and how this pattern can literally make us sick.

Dr. Naidoo is triple-board certified and author of "Fat to Fabulous," but what struck me most was her vulnerability in sharing her own healing journey. After losing a pregnancy in a car accident, she suffered 9 years of undiagnosed pain. When she finally had surgery, her community showed up in ways she never expected—and their support accelerated her healing more than any prescription could.

We dive deep into how childhood trauma creates patterns that affect our health decades later, why purpose matters more than hormones for many symptoms, and how community support isn't just nice to have—it's essential medicine.

If you've ever felt like you need to "have it all together," this conversation will challenge everything you think you know about strength and healing.

Are you pushing through chronic symptoms without pause? You'll want to listen to this episode!

In it I sit down with Lisa Beth Lent, who transformed her health from complete dysfunction with Graves disease to sustained remission. Lisa shares the warning signs most of us ignore - from persistent headaches to that feeling of running on empty - and reveals how learning to truly listen to your body can prevent autoimmune breakdown.

We explore practical nervous system regulation techniques, the power of stillness in our overstimulated world, and simple breathwork you can use anywhere. Lisa also discusses her experience with various healing modalities and explains why self-compassion is crucial for lasting recovery.

This conversation offers hope and actionable guidance for anyone dealing with autoimmune conditions or recognizing they've been pushing through symptoms too long.

After 30 years in emergency medicine, Dr Newman learned a hard truth: She could save patients through their crisis, but they never actually got better. They'd leave with longer medication lists, only to return sicker. It wasn't until her own health crashed during menopause that she discovered cellular medicine - the missing piece that explains why we stay sick.

In this conversation with Dr. Siobhan Newman, you'll discover why your mitochondria might be "underwater," her three dietary "nos" that are silently destroying your cellular health, and the recovery-first approach that must happen before any optimization.

We dive deep into the inflammatory cascade, why COVID taught us so much about immune dysfunction, and practical steps you can take today to support true healing at the cellular level. If you're tired of managing symptoms instead of addressing root causes, this episode will change everything.
