My guest today, Lahana Vigliano, is the CEO of Nuvitru Wellness and a board-certified and holistic clinical nutritionist in Austin, TX. She’s here to answer all of our questions about stress – where does it come from, how can we reduce it, and what is it really doing in our bodies? She also asks some of her own – teaching us to question our food choices, what’s actually in your control, and what isn’t? It’s time to get honest with ourselves, and shame is not invited to the party. Our bodies are so evolutionarily driven that when stress crops up, we can’t distinguish if we’re being chased by a lion, or are just stuck in traffic. It’s only natural that women’s bodies would try to shut down ovulation in times of danger as those would, to our body, seem like a pretty bad time to bring a child into the world – right?! Lahana is wise beyond her years, sharing so many actionable tips in this one that you’ll want to grab a notepad. The key though, as she explains, is not letting your brand new anti-stress routine stress you out. Start with what feels natural – try spending time in nature, journaling, or breathwork – and build from there. We Chat About: Lahana’s background in medicine  Can you kill it?

Cassy Joy Garcia is a New York Times bestselling author and the creative force behind popular wellness editorial site, Fed + Fit. Her mission is to make cooking more manageable, especially for moms – which is why I am personally so excited to share this one with you. Once she had her first child, Cassy was looking for ways to still eat healthy but take out some of the work from cooking. This led her to develop the “cook once” method for meal prep, a genius time saving concept that she’s written about at length. It’s not all quick and easy either, she’s also committed to making intimidating dishes seem more attainable for the average person cooking at home. Her message is an empowering one, and I can attest to her recipes being both easy to prepare and delicious to eat. Keep an ear out for her cute young kids in the background of this one!

My amazing guest today, Noelle Tarr, is a Nutritional Therapy Practitioner (NTP), an NSCA-Certified Personal Trainer, author, and all-around badass. She’s worked in the industry for more than seventeen years and is open to admitting she’s made every mistake in the book – which is why she’s so dedicated to helping others on their body and overall wellness journeys.  We talk about body image, its role in how we grow up thinking of ourselves, and what dieting culture does and (mostly) does not accomplish. We also learn about the importance of recognizing your season of life and embracing it for a more balanced sense of self – no more living in the black and white areas of life! Most importantly, Noelle teaches us that we must not judge ourselves harshly. Everything we experience is an opportunity to learn, grow, and live in joy. I hope you enjoy this inspiring convo!

By now, you’ve heard of the gut biome and how critical those little bacteria are in supporting your overall wellbeing. Well, today, Dr. Mark Burhenne joins me to dive into even further detail with one specific, important, and very famous, part of our digestive system – our mouth! It’s about so much more than bad breath and coffee stains, although we cover the importance of the small stuff too. The truth is that oral health is directly involved in six-to-seven out of ten major chronic diseases. How well, or poorly, we take care of our mouths, is reflected in our longevity and ability to combat illness.  In this illuminating episode, we learn how modern dentistry incorporates this information (or not), what toothpaste and mouthwash are really doing in our mouth vs. what we think they’re doing, and of course – how our oral health can impact pregnancy and general fertility. Settle in for the most enjoyable trip to the dentist you’ve ever had! We Chat About: Dr. Mark Burhenne’s background and inspirations The mouth’s connection to disease and illness Microbiome: a party in your mouth  Negative effects of toothpaste and mouthwash  Oral health as it relates to pregnancy  Resources: See Mark’s recommended oral products at https://askthedentist.com/shop/ (AskTheDentist.com) https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/ask-the-dentist-with-dr-mark-burhenne/id1558349710 (Ask The Dentist podcast) Instagram: http://instagram.com/AskTheDentist (@AskTheDentist) LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/askthedentist/ (Dr. Mark Burhenne, DDS) Connect With Me: Join my FREE FAM Training: http://nourishedwithnina.com/famtraining (Prevent Pregnancy Naturally + Ditch the Pill Without Fear) http://www.calendly.com/nourishedwithnina/discovery (Free Fertility Call) https://nourished-with-nina.ck.page/b5b46324e9 (Sync Your Life & Menstrual Cycle) Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/nourishedwithnina/ (@nourishedwithnina) Healing Hormones is produced and published by http://crate.media/ (Crate Media).

Dr. Mike Belkowski is my guest today. He’s a physical therapist by trade and is passionate about providing his patients with the most effective treatment techniques – most notably, he’s a big proponent of red light therapy, launching BioLight in 2019. We get into the teeny tiny detail in this one – down to the cellular level! Dr. Belkowski teaches us that our mitochondria react differently to different hues of light and that they’re in every single cell, producing 95% of the energy in our bodies.  Knowing that, it’s easy to see why dysfunctional mitochondria are the root of many diseases. They’re the engine of all our amazing bodily functions – our heath! All BioLight purchases include Dr. Belkowski’s eBook with red light therapy research, background on BioLight, and – most importantly – protocols on how to use red light at home, including how long and how often to use it and where on your body, depending on what you’re trying to treat. We Chat About: How Mike discovered red light therapy The details of red light therapy and how it works Why blue light can actually be good for you (just not from technology) The difference between red light therapy and infrared sauna lights How to use red light at home and what a therapy session looks like Where to get started if you’re new to red light therapy Resources: https://www.biolight.shop/ (BioLight) Linkedin: https://www.linkedin.com/in/biolight/ (BioLight) Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/biolight.shop (@bioight.shop) Podcast: https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/the-red-light-report/id1558211577 (The Red Light Report) Connect With Me: Join my FREE FAM Training: http://nourishedwithnina.com/famtraining (Prevent Pregnancy Naturally + Ditch the Pill Without Fear) http://www.calendly.com/nourishedwithnina/discovery (Free Fertility Call) https://nourished-with-nina.ck.page/b5b46324e9 (Sync Your Life & Menstrual Cycle) Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/nourishedwithnina/ (@nourishedwithnina) Healing Hormones is produced and published by http://crate.media/ (Crate Media).

Brooke Schattner was on the pill since she was 16 – nearly a decade – and today she’s sharing her journey to leaving the pill behind and transitioning her way to FAM. Like so many women, Brooke got on the pill because it was just “the thing to do” in your teens. There wasn’t a real reason behind it at first, and she never had a deep discussion with her parents or doctors on what the pill meant, and if it was the right choice for her body. After years of symptoms and side effects, she’s decided that it’s not for her. I hope Brooke’s story resonates with you no matter where you are on your own hormone journey. We Chat About: The doctor’s solution to side effects was always to just “try a different pill” Why we aren’t taught how the pill works, even if it is the right decision Getting on or off the pill is not just about contraception, but is also a health decision Shame and worry around getting off the pill for alternative methods Resources: If you’re looking to get off of the pill or need help deciding what birth control method works for you, check out my FREE FAM Training: http://nourishedwithnina.com/famtraining (Prevent Pregnancy Naturally + Ditch the Pill Without Fear) Connect With Me: https://nourished-with-nina.ck.page/b5b46324e9 (Sync Your Life & Menstrual Cycle) Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/nourishedwithnina/ (@nourishedwithnina) Healing Hormones is produced and published by http://crate.media/ (Crate Media).

Of course – we make sure to bring it all back to fertility and hormone health, as castor oil packs can help you have less painful periods while supporting ovulation and the successful fertilization of eggs.

One of the problems with synthetic hormones is how easily they can knock our body off course and tip our hormonal balance in the wrong direction. But what if you could take something natural that supports your body’s ability to create hormones with a low risk of unwanted side effects or complications? That’s what we talk about today with Rachelle Robinett, the founder of Supernatural, a shop and educational platform for herbal medicine.  Herbs can be used to holistically support the body, whether for hormone balance, PMS, heavy periods, sleep, digestion, and more.

It’s never too late to work on the foundations of your body, and it is so important to get this right.  We Chat About: Postpartum recovery journeys Giving yourself the time and rest to heal Building up your foundation Exercises to support your posture Resources: https://www.patricialadis.com/ (patricialadis.com) Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/patricialadis/?hl=en (@patricialadis) Read:https://www.patricialadis.com/wise-woman-s-guide ( “The Wise Woman’s Guide to Your Healthiest Pregnancy and Birth”) https://www.patricialadis.com/budhagirl (BuDhaGirl Wise Woman Bangle Set) https://nourishedwithnina.com/pod/73/ (Supporting a Healthy Pregnancy, Birth, and Postpartum with Patricia Ladis) Connect With Me: Join my FREE FAM Training: http://nourishedwithnina.com/famtraining (Prevent Pregnancy Naturally + Ditch the Pill Without Fear) http://www.calendly.com/nourishedwithnina/discovery (Free Fertility Call) https://nourished-with-nina.ck.page/b5b46324e9 (Sync Your Life & Menstrual Cycle) Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/nourishedwithnina/ (@nourishedwithnina) Healing Hormones is a production of http://crate.media/ (Crate Media) Mentioned in this episode: FAM Training Learn how to prevent pregnancy naturally and ditch birth control without fear.

As I approach a year postpartum and adjust to life after endometriosis surgery, I’ve been noticing shifts happening in my diet and my life. Pregnancy affects everyone in different ways, but one thing is always the case: Your hormone levels soar. For some that feels amazing, but for others, it can create a lot of issues. And any sudden change to our hormones is going to put stress on the liver. On top of that there’s all the medication you may be taking that, while it can be necessary at the time, takes a toll on our health in other ways. I’m going to share some of the ways you can support your liver and gut health to keep your hormones balanced and happy. We Chat About: The importance of a healthy liver Signs that your liver needs some love Getting your gut health in check The two phases of liver detox Foods to support your liver Minerals and herbs you can take Other tips for liver health Resources: http://nourishedwithnina.com/hormonecoaching (nourishedwithnina.com/hormonecoaching) Connect With Me: Join my FREE FAM Training: http://nourishedwithnina.com/famtraining (Prevent Pregnancy Naturally + Ditch the Pill Without Fear) http://www.calendly.com/nourishedwithnina/discovery (Free Fertility Call) Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/nourishedwithnina/ (@nourishedwithnina) Healing Hormones is a production of http://crate.media (Crate Media) Mentioned in this episode: FAM Training Learn how to prevent pregnancy naturally and ditch birth control without fear.

She helps busy moms (or any other boss babes) build and launch their passive income Etsy business in just one weekend.
