In today's episode, I have the pleasure of chatting with Therese Dansby, a registered nurse and International Board Certified Lactation Consultant (IBCLC). We dive deep into the world of infant reflux, discussing everything from symptoms and challenges to alternative therapies and personal experiences. Therese shared her wealth of knowledge on topics like oral restrictions, bodywork, and the importance of a holistic approach when it comes to helping babies with reflux. This is a great episode if you're a mom struggling with infant reflux or just want to learn more about this common issue.
Therese started her career as a NICU nurse in 2007, pivoted to birth center postpartum care in 2013, and became an IBCLC in 2015. Helping moms build confidence in their breastfeeding choices and work through breastfeeding struggles is her dream job alongside homeschooling her own three children, ages 10, 7, and 2.
We talk about:
Various root causes of infant reflux, including physical factors and chemical factorsThe range of symptoms from reflux, such as mild "happy spitting" to severe cases requiring medical intervention, such as GERD in NICU settingsThe value of a holistic approach for addressing feeding techniques, bodywork, dietary changes, and alternative therapies like homeopathyThe importance of identifying the underlying issues contributing to your baby's reflux, rather than relying on a one-size-fits-all approachFollowing your maternal intuition and working with healthcare providers who will listen to your concernsFunctional Thyroid Mini Course: https://hormonehealingrd.com/opt-in/free-functional-thyroid-mini-course-podcast/

It’s time for part 2 of our iodine series. If you haven’t listened to the previous episode on what iodine does in the body, why it’s so important, and how to test your levels, I recommend starting there. Today I will be covering who iodine may be a good fit for, considerations when supplementing, and long term use of iodine.
As always, this podcast episode is for educational purposes only. If anything resonates with you, I hope it encourages you to talk with your provider before you make any changes.
I cover:

In this episode I’m going to talk about business and motherhood, which is something I talk about in my stories sometimes and have gotten a lot of requests for a full podcast episode with thoughts. I have so many thoughts, so I’m going to try to keep this organized and easy to listen to.
Here’s what I plan to cover:
My outlook on choosing to have a business and also be a mother How becoming a mom helped me as a business owner What my day to day looks like How I take care of myselfBefore I dig into everything, I want to preface this with a few things:
As of recording this, I have a 7 month old and 2.5 year old. This is the season we are in. Our situation: military, no family close by, no childcare This is what works for our family/our best option right now. I’m sharing my personal experience.

In today's episode, we're diving deep into the intricate world of mineral balance and its pivotal role in women's health. I explore how factors like diet, stress, and lifestyle impact our body's crucial "spark plugs" (minerals) which in turn affect our digestion, hormones, and overall well-being. I also share simple, sustainable lifestyle changes that can make a significant difference in your health journey, including tips on managing stress, organizing daily activities, and eating intentionally to support mineral and hormone health.
Today we cover:
How your minerals can get out of balanceImportance of focusing on daily lifestyle habits for mineral balanceNutrition intentionality, specifically regarding adequate food intake and breakfast importanceConsequences of high blood sugar, including inflammation and mineral depletionChallenges in mineral intake for those with insulin resistanceDietary recommendations for blood sugar controlCautions and best practices for supplementsWhen and how to test your mineralsReplenish Your Minerals course: https://hormonehealingrd.com/services/replenish-your-minerals/

In this episode, I am joined by Taylor Goldberg to discuss all things hypermobility. This is a diagnosis that I have seen in an increasing number of clients, so I’m excited to have Taylor on and educate more on the topic. We previously discussed hypermobility in the two MCAS episodes with Michelle Shapiro. I’ll link them below!
Taylor is a Chiropractor-turned Virtual Hypermobility Coach who helps people struggling with hypermobility (and related conditions) navigate the newness and unknowns of HSD/hEDS, enabling them to understand their body's unique needs and regain a fulfilling life. In addition to assisting clients with hypermobility, she recently launched a course aimed at helping clinicians better understand how to assist their hypermobile patients. Taylor possesses a unique perspective rooted in her education and personal experiences with hypermobility, which has driven her to initiate changes not only within the hypermobility community but also within the chiropractic field. She recently introduced a mentorship program called 'Clinical Concepts,' where they delve into the drawbacks of one-size-fits-all chiropractic practices and underscore the significance of an evidence-based approach to treatment and self-care.
This episode covers:
Taylor's journey from her background as a chiropractor to pivoting to be a hypermobility coachWhat is hypermobility and it impacts our healthHow MCAS impacts hypermobilityTaylor's approach to supporting individuals with hypermobility thrive, including tracking flares and lab testingAdvice for finding an exercise routine, including what to be careful withActionable tips to support your hypermobility dailyThyroid Mineral Training: https://hormonehealingrd.com/opt-in/free-functional-thyroid-mini-course-podcast/

In this episode, I’m answering a common question I get from this community and that is how can we prepare our bodies for perimenopause and beyond. I’ll be breaking down how to figure out when your transition may start and what areas you want to consider focusing on.
As always, I’m a dietitian but I’m not your dietitian. Please discuss any changes you may want to make to your health with your medical provider.
This episode covers:
How to time your perimenopausal transition and health challenges that may occurRole of hormonal imbalances and its impact on health in midlifeThe importance of supporting the thyroid during perimenopauseTips for supporting your circadian rhythm and receiving light exposure to support your healthNutrition changes that occur during perimenopause and what you should focus onUsing hot and cold therapy for managing symptomsLifestyle adjustment recommendations for preparing for perimenopauseThyroid Mineral Training: https://hormonehealingrd.com/opt-in/free-functional-thyroid-mini-course-podcast/

We are back with part two with Michelle Shapiro! After our initial discussion in the last episode about how these conditions relate to one another, today we are diving into conventional treatments and functional approaches for MCAS, POTS, and hypermobility. Michelle and I discuss why jumping straight to restrictive diets might not be the best long-term solution, why stabilizing mast cells should come first, and why specialized care is crucial.
This episode covers:
What is missing from conventional treatments for MCASWhy stabilizing mast cells and mediators needs to happen before addressing root causesThe importance of personalized approaches for highly sensitive and hypermobility individualsHolistic management for POTS including sodium intake, compression socks, and potassium-rich foodsUtilizing the Highly Sensitive Body Hub for MCAS and related symptomsMineral Quiz: https://hormonehealingrd.com/guides-support/mineral-quiz/

Today, Michelle Shapiro joins me again for another episode! Michelle is an integrative and functional registered dietitian who has helped over 1,000 clients reverse their anxiety, heal longstanding gut issues and immune issues, and approach their weight in a loving way. Together, we discuss the complex world of long Covid, mast cell activation syndrome (MCAS), and histamine issues and Michelle shares her personal journey and insights on how chronic stress, gut health, and hypermobility intersect with these conditions. This episode not only provides practical strategies for managing these conditions but also emphasizes the importance of understanding your body's unique needs. Michelle and I address how excessive mast cell activation can affect day-to-day life and pregnancy, offering a hopeful perspective on achieving full recovery through both conventional and non-conventional treatments.

In this episode, I’m going through some of the most helpful areas to focus on for an enjoyable postpartum season with your new baby. Before I dig in, I want to acknowledge that there are many times when things happen that make our postpartum experience less enjoyable that are completely out of our control. I also think we can recover and heal from a stressful postpartum experience. Both us and our babies.
I share:

In this episode, I am sharing my second daughter, Amaia’s birth story. I will also be answering questions this community submitted on IG! This is my birth experience and I will say, I had a beautiful birth at home, it could not have gone better. My first birth was very painful, I thought about giving up multiple times, and had a lot of fear in the beginning. I held a lot of resentment for a while about the pain I went through but I’ve come to change my tune and be grateful for that birth. Katelyn from Happy Homebirth Podcast once told me you have the birth you need. Making the transition from maiden to mother the first time is a lot, at least it was for me. The painful birth prepared me and gave me a little taste for what was ahead. I love being a mom and my entire life revolves around my girls, but it doesn’t mean it’s not hard. It has changed me in ways I couldn’t imagine. If your birth was challenging, I hope it changed you for the better too.

In this episode, I am joined by Carrie Bennett, to teach you about light, circadian rhythm, and how these impact your hormones. As a college athlete, supposedly at the pinnacle of health, Carrie began suffering chronic joint issues and insomnia. After her first child was born, she developed debilitating stomach pain, adrenal fatigue, and brain fog. Armed with a BS in Biology, an MS in Nutrition, and certifications as a personal trainer, massage therapist, and breathing coach, she still couldn't find the root of her issues. That's when she found quantum biology. Now, as an online educator, clinician, and faculty member of the Quantum Biology Collective, Carrie's mission is to teach her clients how to create a healing environment by applying quantum health strategies around light, water, electrons, and mitochondrial support. Given these tools, clients who have spent years trying to improve their health—just as Carrie did—finally experience powerful healing and lasting benefits.

In this episode, I am interviewing Michelle Shapiro, an integrative functional registered dietitian who's going to unravel the confusion that often surrounds reflux treatment. We'll explore why conventional medicine's approach to reflux may not always be in your stomach's best interest, and why you may sometimes need to fuel the fire. Michelle helps us understand the contributing factors of reflux symptoms – ranging from a burning throat and chest pain to that nagging feeling of hunger paired with nausea. Michelle also cautions about supplements and touches on the complex relationship between pregnancy, hiatal hernias, and how managing stress and histamine levels plays a vital role in your health.
If you've ever wondered about the connection between stress, your thyroid, and the importance of listening to your body – you won't want to miss this episode. We also have a special Q&A waiting for you over at patreon.com/hormonehealingrd.

In this episode, I am covering how to use hair tissue mineral analysis or HTMA to assess your stress. This is one of the most valuable parts of the test, in my opinion. You get to understand what stage of stress you are in and why you may or may not be handling stress well. For most people, it is a big eye opener and something that can finally lead to confronting your stress and making lifestyle changes. If you are interested in how you can learn more about your thyroid from an HTMA, please listen to the previous episode where I covered this in detail.
