| 63. What is the Root Cause? What Your Symptoms Are Really Telling You with Laura Grubb | 08 sept. 2026 | 00:42:29 | |
Your boating, stomach aches and other symptoms aren’t inconveniences to silence, they’re signals worth listening to. When we constantly manage symptoms without asking why they’re happening, we can end up stuck in a cycle of temporary solutions without addressing what’s driving the problem. I’m joined by Laura Grubb of Laura Grubb Wellness, a nurse practitioner turned functional health practitioner. We’re talking about why women can get stuck bouncing from provider to provider without answers, why a diagnosis doesn’t necessarily equal healing, and how symptoms can act as your body’s “check engine light.” This conversation is for women who know something feels off, have been told their labs are “normal,” or are tired of simply managing symptoms and want to better understand what their bodies are communicating.

| 62. The N-O-P-E Method for Healthier, More Radiant Skin with Yolanda Russo | 01 sept. 2026 | 00:47:43 | |
Your skin may be telling you far more about how you’re living than how old you are. In this episode, Brandee sits down with Yolanda Russo of Beauty on Command to unpack a different approach to aging. One that focuses on supporting your skin from the inside out rather than relying solely on creams, gadgets, Botox, or fillers. Yolanda breaks down her N-O-P-E method and explains how everyday habits like slouching over your phone, holding facial expressions, over-exfoliating, and not getting enough rest can show up on your face. They also discuss skincare routines, red light therapy, facial massage and yoga, and why more isn’t always better when it comes to products and beauty gadgets. This conversation is for anyone who is tired of the anti-aging narrative and wants to think differently about supporting their skin as they age. In this episode:

| 61. A Natural Birth Control Method: Cycle Tracking with Chanana McGarry | 25 août 2026 | 00:35:53 | |
Your body is constantly communicating with you, but most women were never taught how to understand the signals. In this episode, Brandee sits down with Chanana McGarry of Womb Literacy to break down the fertility awareness method and how it differs from period-tracking apps and the rhythm method. Chanana shares her personal journey after two unplanned pregnancies and explains why properly learning fertility awareness is so different from simply guessing based on cycle dates. They discuss how cervical fluid and basal body temperature can provide information about what's happening throughout the cycle, including signs of ovulation and changes in the luteal phase. The conversation also explores the gaps in medical education around fertility awareness and why having more information can help women make informed decisions about their bodies and contraception.

| 60. The Career Mindset Shift Every High-Achieving Woman Needs with Karishma Wadhwani | 18 août 2026 | 00:45:29 | |
Your career should support your life—not consume it. When success comes at the expense of your health, relationships, and peace of mind, it's time to redefine what achievement really looks like. In this episode of Healthy Buzz, Brandee sits down with holistic career coach Karishma Wadhwani to explore the powerful connection between career, identity, and overall well-being. After spending 15 years climbing the corporate ladder before becoming an entrepreneur, Karishma shares why hustle culture keeps so many high-achieving women stuck in burnout and how outdated beliefs around work can quietly sabotage our health. Together, they discuss why your job title isn't your identity, how to create healthier boundaries at work and at home, and why intentional career growth should support your nervous system—not overwhelm it. Whether you're navigating burnout, considering a career pivot, searching for a new role, or simply trying to find better balance, this conversation offers a refreshing perspective on building success without sacrificing yourself.

| 59. Eating Less and Cutting out Foods is NOT the Solution with Rita Utterback | 11 août 2026 | 00:49:05 | |
Women have been taught that healing means eating less, cutting out more foods, and following increasingly restrictive diets. The truth is, those well-intentioned food rules may be doing far more harm than good. In this episode of Healthy Buzz, I sit down with functional diagnostic nutrition practitioner and certified holistic nutritionist Rita Utterback to unpack the hidden consequences of elimination diets, diet culture, and food fear—especially for women navigating PCOS, endometriosis, Hashimoto's, and chronic digestive issues. Drawing from both her personal experience with endometriosis and her work with clients, Rita shares how years of restrictive eating left her with worsening gut health, depleted beneficial bacteria, and an unhealthy relationship with food. Together, we discuss why true healing requires looking beyond food restrictions and addressing the deeper root causes of digestive dysfunction, hormone imbalances, stress, and nervous system regulation. If you've been overwhelmed by conflicting nutrition advice or feel like you're constantly chasing the next diet that promises to "fix" your hormones, this episode is for you. In this episode:

| 58. Unpacking Grief & Finding Your Way Forward with Tamara Kubacki | 04 août 2026 | 00:46:06 | |
Grief has been heavy in my world lately — I recently lost my sweet dog Van, my constant shadow in this office. Since so many of you are carrying your own losses too, I'm re-airing episode 3, Unpacking Grief and Finding Your Way Forward, with my dear friend and grief coach. Wherever you are in your grief, this one's for you.
Grief is universal—but often deeply isolating. In this episode, I sit down with Certified Grief Educator Tamara Kubacki, founder of Listening to Grief, to explore the many layers of loss—and why learning to grieve openly can be one of the most healing things we do. Tamara shares her personal story of losing both parents and her sister, how that shaped her understanding of grief, and the tools she now uses to support others through one-on-one coaching and communal experiences like her popular grief walks. Through her work, Tamara provides empathetic, storytelling-based grief coaching and creates events that bring people together to grieve in natural and creative spaces. Her work has been featured in The Seattle Times and West Seattle Blog, and she actively collaborates with artists, yoga instructors, herbalists, and more to destigmatize grief and make it less lonely.

| 57. Perimenopause Deserves More Than "Just Deal With It": The Truth No One Prepared Us For with Megan Bird | 28 juil. 2026 | 00:43:24 | |
Perimenopause isn't confusing because your body is failing—it's confusing because women have been left to piece together answers on their own. In this episode, Brandee sits down with Megan Bird, founder of Uplift Menopause Coaching and co-host of the Coming of Rage podcast, for an honest conversation about navigating perimenopause without the overwhelm. Together, they unpack why so many women feel dismissed by the healthcare system, how social media can both help and hurt, and why education, self-advocacy, and community are essential during this stage of life. Megan shares her own journey through perimenopause, what led her to become a menopause coach, and how finding evidence-based education completely changed the way she viewed her symptoms. If you've been wondering whether what you're experiencing is "normal," feeling overwhelmed by conflicting advice online, or searching for a more compassionate approach to midlife health, this episode will leave you feeling informed, validated, and far less alone.

| 56. Beyond Kegels: Why Your Pelvic Floor Is the Missing Link Between Nervous System, Hormones, and Healing with Dr. Tara Morrison | 21 juil. 2026 | 00:48:47 | |
We often chase symptoms, the pain, the flare-up, and try to silence them with medication, surgery, or a standard round of physical therapy. But what if the real work is looking at the fire underneath the alarm? In this episode of Healthy Buzz, Brandee sits down with Dr. Tara Morrison, doctor of physical therapy and creator of Somatic Pelvic Care, to explore why traditional pelvic floor therapy doesn't always create lasting results. Together, they unpack the powerful connection between the pelvic floor, nervous system regulation, blood sugar balance, lymphatic health, emotional wellbeing, and the body's ability to heal. Dr. Tara explains why symptoms like urinary leakage, constipation, pelvic pain, painful intercourse, and low libido are often signs of deeper imbalances—not problems to simply "fix" with exercises alone. She shares how survival patterns, chronic stress, trauma, and even blood sugar instability can influence pelvic floor function, and why slowing down to reconnect with your body may be the missing piece so many women have been searching for. This conversation is for any woman who's been told her symptoms are "normal," has tried multiple treatments without lasting relief, or wants a more holistic understanding of pelvic health that addresses the whole person—not just the muscles.

| 55. Healing Hashimoto's, Weight Loss Resistance & the Nervous System with Jasmine Harnden IHP | 14 juil. 2026 | 00:40:19 | |
Your body isn't working against you—it's working to protect you. If you've been eating well, exercising consistently, taking the supplements, and still struggling with stubborn weight, fatigue, thyroid symptoms, or gut issues, this conversation will completely shift the way you think about healing.
In this episode, Brandee sits down with integrative health practitioner, Pranic energy healer, and spiritual life coach Jasmine Harnden to explore why nervous system regulation is often the missing piece in women's health. After reversing her own Hashimoto's naturally, Jasmine now helps burned-out, high-achieving women uncover the deeper physiological and emotional factors driving symptoms like hormone imbalances, weight loss resistance, chronic fatigue, and digestive issues.
Together, they dive into why "normal" lab work doesn't always mean optimal health, how chronic stress changes the way your body stores fat, and why healing isn't about doing more—it's about helping your body finally feel safe enough to heal. They also discuss functional lab testing, unresolved trauma, detoxification, and why a truly root-cause approach requires looking beyond food and supplements alone.

| 54. What Alcohol Is Really Doing to Your Health: The Alcohol-Hormone Connection with Dr. Brooke Scheller (The Hormone Disconnect Series Episode 5) | 07 juil. 2026 | 00:51:35 | |
That nightly glass of wine may be doing far more than helping you unwind. Did you know that alcohol impacts your hormones, gut health, blood sugar, sleep, mood, and cravings in ways many women never realize? In Part 5 of the Hormone Disconnect Series, Brandee sits down with Dr. Brooke Scheller, Doctor of Clinical Nutrition, Certified Nutrition Specialist, author of How to Eat to Change How You Drink, and creator of the Functional Sobriety approach.
Dr. Brooke explains how alcohol influences hormone balance, increases cortisol, disrupts the gut microbiome, alters blood sugar regulation, and fuels cravings that can feel impossible to control. She also breaks down the biology behind the infamous 5 PM urge to drink and shares practical nutrition strategies that can help reduce cravings naturally.
Whether you're sober-curious, questioning your relationship with alcohol, or simply trying to optimize your health, this episode offers a science-backed, judgment-free perspective on what happens when you take a closer look at alcohol's role in your life.

| 53. HRT Myths, Metabolism, and Midlife Health with Danielle Kepics (The Hormone Disconnect Series Episode 4) | 30 juin 2026 | 00:54:44 | |
The biggest risk for many women isn't hormone therapy, it's the misinformation that's kept them suffering for decades. In this episode of Healthy Buzz, Brandee sits down with Danielle Kepics, physician assistant and founder of Empowered Medicine, to unpack one of the most misunderstood topics in women's health: hormone replacement therapy (HRT). As part four of the Hormone Disconnect series, this conversation breaks down the lasting impact of the Women's Health Initiative study, the confusion between birth control and hormone replacement therapy, and why so many women are still being denied evidence-based care. Danielle explains the difference between synthetic and bioidentical hormones, discusses the pros and cons of various HRT delivery methods, and shares what women need to know before considering options like pellets, patches, oral hormones, creams, or testosterone therapy. If you've been told you're "too young" for HRT, dismissed by your provider, or feel overwhelmed by conflicting information online, this episode will help you ask better questions, advocate for yourself, and better understand your options.

| 52. Functional Lab Testing: The Missing Piece Behind Your Hormone Symptoms (The Hormone Disconnect Series Episode 3) | 23 juin 2026 | 00:24:56 | |
Being told your labs are “normal” doesn’t mean your body is functioning optimally. For many women struggling with hormone symptoms, fatigue, PMS, weight changes, gut issues, and unexplained health concerns, the answers often live in the gaps conventional testing misses. In this episode of the Hormone Disconnect Series, Brandee breaks down the differences between conventional and functional lab testing, why standard labs are designed to identify disease rather than dysfunction, and how functional testing can uncover the root causes behind persistent symptoms. She explains how the right data can help connect the dots between your symptoms, hormones, gut health, stress response, and overall wellness. You'll learn about the functional labs Brandee uses most often with clients, including comprehensive stool testing, hormone testing through saliva and urine, and real-time hormone tracking. She also shares how proper timing, interpretation, and individualized analysis can completely change the way you understand your health. What You'll Learn:

| 51. The Hidden Health Effects of Hormonal Birth Control with Nicole Jardim, Fix Your Period (The Hormone Disconnect Series Episode 2) | 16 juin 2026 | 00:57:20 | |
For most of our lives, we've been handed a prescription and told it would fix everything — painful periods, irregular cycles, acne, you name it. But what if we were never actually given the full picture? This isn't an anti-birth-control episode. It's a pro-information one. In this episode, Brandee sits down with women's health expert Nicole Jardim for one of those conversations that makes you wish you'd had it ten years ago. They dig into what hormonal birth control is actually doing inside your body, why calling it a "cycle regulator" is more marketing than medicine, and how suppressing ovulation can quietly affect everything from your mood and gut health to your nutrient levels and long-term wellbeing. Nicole gets personal too — sharing her own experience with debilitating periods and years on the pill before she started asking the questions no one had thought to ask her. Whether you're on hormonal birth control right now, thinking about coming off it, or just realizing there's a lot about your own hormones you were never taught — this episode meets you where you are, with science and real-world experience to back it up.

I spent 17 years on hormonal birth control without fully understanding what it was doing to my body. I almost talked myself out of HRT even when my data was literally showing me I needed it.

| 49. PCOS is Now PMOS: What This Historic Name Change Means for Your Diagnosis | 02 juin 2026 | 00:14:03 | |
Something groundbreaking just happened in women's health. The Lancet officially renamed PCOS to PMOS (Polyendocrine Metabolic Ovarian Syndrome)—and if you've ever been dismissed because you don't have cysts on your ovaries, or you've been sitting with a diagnosis that never quite explained how you feel, this episode will make a lot of things click. I'm breaking down why the old name was harmful, what PMOS actually means, and why a name change alone won't automatically get women better care. Because up to 70% of affected individuals remain undiagnosed—and that needs to change. I'm also sharing my personal journey of being dismissed by three providers over three years before finally getting diagnosed at 38, and what I wish I had known then. This is a huge win for women's health, but there's still so much work to do. Let's talk about what this means for you and how to advocate for yourself moving forward. In This Episode:

| 48. Reframing Burnout: Understanding the Highly Sensitive Experience with Amanda Baker | 26 mai 2026 | 00:41:15 | |
If you've spent your life being told you're “too sensitive,” “too emotional,” or “too much,” this episode is going to feel like a deep exhale. In this episode of Healthy Buzz, Brandee sits down with Amanda Baker of Collaborative Sage to explore the intersection of high sensitivity, ADHD, perfectionism, and burnout. Amanda shares her personal journey from corporate overachiever to complete nervous system collapse — including panic attacks, chronic illness, emergency room visits, and the deep unlearning required to recover. Together, they unpack what it actually means to be a highly sensitive person, how rejection sensitive dysphoria (RSD) fuels people-pleasing and perfectionism, and why so many women feel trapped in a cycle of proving themselves. Amanda also opens up about the realities of healing a dysregulated nervous system, learning to honor rest without guilt, and building a life that supports who you actually are instead of who you think you’re supposed to be. This conversation is for the woman who’s exhausted from constantly pushing harder, carrying everyone else’s emotions, and feeling like she’s one step away from falling apart — even while appearing completely “fine” on the outside.

| 47. The Nervous System Changes Behind Perimenopause with Holly Finn | 19 mai 2026 | 00:44:56 | |
Perimenopause isn’t just about hot flashes and missed periods — it’s a full neuroendocrine remodel that can completely change how your brain, body, and nervous system respond to stress. In this episode of Healthy Buzz, Brandee sits down with certified menopause coach Holly Finn, founder of A Better Pause, to unpack why so many women feel blindsided during peri and post-menopause. Holly shares her own experience navigating debilitating hot flashes, anxiety, burnout, ADHD, and being repeatedly misdiagnosed before finally realizing hormones were at the root of what she was experiencing. This conversation dives into nervous system regulation, stress, boundaries, cortisol, sleep, food apathy, over-functioning, and the grief many women experience as their bodies and identities change during this transition. Holly also explains why trying to “power through” no longer works — and why this phase may actually be an invitation to rebuild your life in a more sustainable way. If you’re feeling overwhelmed, emotionally raw, exhausted, or frustrated that your body no longer responds the way it used to, this episode is for you. In This Episode:

| 46. Mom Fatigue, Mood Swings and The Real Reason You Don’t Feel Like Yourself After Kids with Kim Perez | 12 mai 2026 | 00:46:38 | |
Motherhood is not supposed to feel like chronic exhaustion, rage, and disconnection—but for so many women, it does. In this episode, Brandee sits down with functional nutritionist Kim Perez of Root & Branch Nutrition to unpack why so many moms feel depleted, overstimulated, and unlike themselves long after postpartum. Kim shares her personal journey from “doing everything right” to hitting a breaking point—and how that led her to uncover the massive gaps in support for mothers. Together, they explore the deeper root causes behind symptoms like fatigue, mood swings, poor sleep, and weight resistance, even when labs come back “normal.” This conversation dives into the often-overlooked role of mineral depletion, blood sugar instability, and nervous system dysregulation—and why typical wellness advice often fails moms in real life. You’ll also learn simple, realistic strategies to support your energy, stabilize your mood, and start feeling like yourself again—without adding more overwhelm. Key Takeaways:

| 45. Why “Just Live With It” Is Failing EDS Patients with Jen Parkinson | 05 mai 2026 | 00:45:21 | |
If you’ve ever been told your chronic pain, fatigue, or digestive issues are “just part of being hypermobile” and that you’ll have to live with it—this episode is going to challenge everything you’ve been told. I’m joined by Jen Parkinson of EDS Nutritionist, and we’re diving into the real drivers behind Ehlers-Danlos Syndrome (EDS) symptoms. This conversation goes far beyond joint pain and flexibility, unpacking why the gut, nervous system, and mineral balance are often the missing pieces. We talk about the frustration of being dismissed in the healthcare system, the problem with treating symptoms in isolation, and why so many women stay stuck in cycles of supplement guessing and restrictive diets. Jen breaks down how a root-cause, whole-body approach can shift energy, digestion, brain fog, and overall stability—and why foundational habits are non-negotiable if you actually want your body to respond. If you feel like you’ve tried everything and nothing works, this episode will give you a more strategic and sustainable way forward. In This Episode, We Discuss:

| 44. Supplement Roulette: What You're Really Getting in That Bottle from Amazon | 28 avr. 2026 | 00:10:32 | |
If you’ve been loading up your cart with “hormone-balancing” or “gut-healing” supplements, thinking they’re the missing piece—you need to hear this. In this solo episode, Brandee exposes the uncomfortable truth about the supplement industry and why what you’re taking may not actually be what’s on the label. From counterfeit products on Amazon to mislabeled ingredients and lack of regulation, this episode breaks down why blindly trusting supplements can cost you your health—and your money. She also challenges the belief that supplements are the solution, explaining why they’re meant to support a solid foundation—not replace it. Without proper sleep, nutrition, and stress management, no supplement will fix your symptoms. And without data, supplementation becomes nothing more than expensive guesswork. This episode will completely shift how you think about supplements, where you buy them, and how you decide what’s actually worth taking. In This Episode:

| 43. The Habit Hub: 6 Areas That Actually Move the Needle for Autoimmune Health with Dr. Amy Behimer | 21 avr. 2026 | 00:48:19 | |
If you've ever received an autoimmune diagnosis, you know the first thing you lose isn't just your energy or normal labs—it's your sense of control. Suddenly your body feels like a black box, and medical advice usually stops at a prescription and a list of things you can no longer do. In this episode, I'm joined by Dr. Amy Behimer, an autoimmune health coach who's flipping the script on chronic illness. Amy doesn't just talk about what an autoimmune condition is—she focuses on how to actually live with it, build habits when your energy is unpredictable, and reclaim your agency when you feel like your biology has gone rogue.

| 42. How ADHD Shows Up in Women with Megs Crawford | 14 avr. 2026 | 00:53:12 | |
Clutter isn’t a discipline problem—it’s a nervous system response. In this episode, Brandee sits down with Megs Crawford to unpack the real reason so many women feel stuck in cycles of overwhelm, especially with ADHD. They explore why traditional organizing advice often backfires, how shame keeps you frozen, and what it actually looks like to work with your brain instead of against it. Megs shares her “whole body organizing” approach, connecting clutter to emotional regulation, decision-making, and nervous system safety. You’ll learn why ADHD in women often shows up as quiet overwhelm rather than hyperactivity, how “half decisions” keep you stuck, and why micro-moments of action are more powerful than waiting for motivation. This episode is for any woman who feels buried under mental or physical clutter and is ready to shift from self-blame to self-understanding. What You’ll Walk Away With:

| 41. Living with PCOS: The Reality, The Advocacy, and What Needs to Change with Monica Reagor | 07 avr. 2026 | 00:40:16 | |
Have you ever been told to “just lose weight” or handed a prescription without any real explanation—and left feeling more confused than supported? For many women with PCOS, that’s the norm, not the exception. In this episode, I sit down with Monica Reagor, co-founder of the PCOS Awareness Association, to unpack the reality of living with PCOS beyond the surface-level symptoms. We dive into the long road to diagnosis, the gaps in women’s healthcare, and why so many women are left to figure this out on their own. Monica shares her personal journey navigating decades of symptoms, misdiagnosis, and finally learning how to advocate for her health. We also explore the emotional and identity impact of PCOS, the importance of building a supportive care team, and why community is a critical piece of healing. This conversation moves beyond quick fixes and into sustainable, personalized strategies that actually support your body. In This Episode, You’ll Learn:

| 40. Understanding Pain, Body Signals, and Uncertainty with Injury with Lindsey Doan | 31 mars 2026 | 00:44:10 | |
Have you ever felt a sharp twinge during a workout and immediately spiraled into "What did I just break?" You're not alone. We've been conditioned to believe our bodies are fragile machines that wear out at the first sign of pain—but what if that pain is actually just your body's alarm system trying to communicate with you? In this episode, I sit down with Dr. Lindsey Doan, a doctorate of physical therapy and strength coach who's challenging everything we've been told about pain and injury. We're diving into why hurt doesn't always equal harm, how fear can actually make pain worse, and why you don't need a perfect diagnosis (or an MRI) to start making meaningful progress. In This Episode, You'll Learn:

| 39. The Gut-Eye Connection: Why Your Dry Eyes Won't Heal with Eye Drops Alone with Dr. Christina Gratkowski Haro | 24 mars 2026 | 00:45:05 | |
If you've ever dealt with chronic dry eyes, stubborn rosacea, or eczema and felt stuck in a cycle of expensive eyedrops and topical creams that never quite fix the problem—today's episode is going to change how you look at your health. Literally. I'm joined by Dr. Christina Gratkowski Haro of Looking Beyond Health, and we're diving into why your eyes and skin are actually the dashboard to your internal health. We're talking about the role of the microbiome, why conventional band-aid solutions often fall short, and how your body uses these visible symptoms as signals that it's time to take a deeper look. In This Episode, We Discuss:
Dr. Christina Gratkowski Haro of Looking Beyond Health is an optometrist, functional health practitioner, and coach who helps people uncover the root causes of chronic symptoms affecting their eyes, skin, gut, and overall health. Frustrated by conventional approaches that focused only on symptom management, she pursued advanced training in functional medicine to better understand how inflammation, immune imbalance, and lifestyle factors drive chronic conditions. She is the founder of Looking Beyond Health, where she works with clients to address issues like dry eye, eczema, rosacea, digestive problems, metabolic dysfunction, and autoimmune concerns using a personalized, root-cause approach. Her mission is to help people understand what their symptoms are telling them and how to heal from the inside out.

| 38. Why Your Detox Isn’t Working: Functional Genetics Explained with Dr. Kathryn Heidt | 17 mars 2026 | 00:51:56 | |
What if the missing piece in your healing journey isn’t another supplement, diet, or protocol… but understanding the actual blueprint of your body? If you’ve ever felt like you’re doing everything “right” for your health but still hitting frustrating roadblocks, this episode reveals why. Many women follow the protocols, take the supplements, and clean up their diet, yet something still feels missing. In this conversation, Brandee sits down with functional practitioner Dr. Kathryn Heidt to explore how functional genetic testing can uncover the missing links in complex health journeys. Dr. Heidt shares her personal experience with severe mold illness and how discovering key detox genetics transformed her recovery. Together they break down the difference between disease genetics and functional genetics, explain why your genes are not your destiny, and unpack the powerful role of epigenetics — how lifestyle, stress, and environmental exposures influence how your genes actually behave. They also discuss why many wellness protocols fail, how environmental stressors like chemicals and mold affect our physiology, and why precision medicine is becoming increasingly important in today’s health landscape. In This Episode: • The difference between disease genetics and functional genetics • Why your genes are a blueprint — not a life sentence • How epigenetics influences whether certain genes turn on or stay quiet • The role environmental stressors play in modern health challenges • How genetic insights can help personalize nutrition, supplements, and lifestyle strategies Connect with Dr.Kathryn: Website: https://drkathrynheidt.com/ Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/dr_heidt/ Email: foundations@drkathrynheidt.com

| 37. PMS Is Common, Not Normal with Amy Dave | 10 mars 2026 | 00:35:34 | |
PMS is common, but that does not make it "normal". If you’re dealing with bloating, mood swings, heavy bleeding, exhaustion, or feeling unlike yourself the week before your period, this episode is your reminder that you don’t have to accept it. I’m joined by Amy Dave, physician assistant and women’s wellness coach, who shares how severe PMS, migraines, and fatigue led her to rethink everything she thought she knew about women’s health. After learning how diet, exercise, sleep, and stress impact hormone balance, she made simple changes — and within months, her symptoms resolved. We unpack why PMS is often dismissed, how birth control suppresses your natural hormone fluctuations, and why your menstrual cycle is considered the “fifth vital sign.” You’ll learn how cramps, cravings, bloating, and heavy bleeding are signals — not inconveniences — and how to use cycle syncing to adjust your food, workouts, and schedule so you stop pushing through exhaustion and start working with your hormones instead of against them. This episode is for women who are done with bandaid solutions and ready to understand what their body is actually communicating. In This Episode:

| 36. Fiber Maxxing: Why More Isn't Always Better for Your Gut | 03 mars 2026 | 00:12:14 | |
If you've been told to "just eat more fiber" but every high-fiber meal leaves you bloated, gassy, and unbuttoning your pants by 4 PM, this episode is for you. In this solo episode of Healthy Buzz, I dive into the fiber maxxing trend taking over social media—and why pushing 50-80 grams of fiber a day can backfire when your digestive system isn't ready for it. Fiber is essential for hormone health, blood sugar, and gut function, but when it causes pain, bloating, and constipation, your body isn't broken—it's sending you signals that something deeper needs attention.

In this episode of Healthy Buzz, Brandee sits down with Alaura Winning of Alaura Grace Wellness to talk about the reality of chronic pain, explained and unexplained, and how to reclaim your life even when pain is still humming in the background.

| 34. Building Health That Actually Lasts with Emily Horstman | 17 févr. 2026 | 00:43:07 | |
Longevity isn’t built through punishment, restriction, or chasing the next wellness trend. In this episode of Healthy Buzz, I sit down with registered dietitian Emily Horstman of Healthier Span to unpack what longevity really means — and why healthspan, not hustle, should be the goal. We challenge the biohacking-first narrative and talk about building long-term health through self-respect, joy, and sustainable daily foundations rather than extremes. This conversation explores why prevention-focused care matters, how to think critically about wellness trends, and what actually supports a healthier, more vibrant life over time. Emily shares a grounded, science-informed perspective that meets women where they are — without fear, shame, or all-or-nothing thinking. In This Episode:

In this episode of Healthy Buzz, I sit down with Ericka Day, a psilocybin medicine facilitator and microdosing guide, to explore how this ancient tool is being used today for personal transformation. Ericka breaks down the science behind microdosing and macro dosing, explains how psilocybin supports neuroplasticity, and shares how this medicine can help women break free from ingrained thought patterns, cultural programming, and old narratives around femininity and motherhood. We dive into Ericka’s personal journey, including how psilocybin helped her reconcile her upbringing, embrace motherhood, and navigate the challenges of postpartum life.

Cancer prevention isn’t a punishment plan and fear is not a strategy. In this episode of Healthy Buzz, I sit down with Dr. Meghan Zech of Sana Pacifica, a naturopathic doctor specializing in integrative oncology (FABNO), to talk about cancer prevention, treatment support, and survivorship through a whole-person lens. We move beyond “standard of care” and into the body’s terrain — including inflammation, metabolic health, gut health, environmental exposures, and nervous system regulation — and why these foundations matter for long-term resilience. This conversation is for women who want science-backed support without restriction, shame, or fear-based wellness noise. In This Episode:

| 31. PCOS, Insulin Resistance, and the Mind–Body Disconnect with Agnieszka Fronia | 27 janv. 2026 | 00:46:09 | |
Most women with PCOS aren’t failing their bodies, they’re surviving a system that keeps them uninformed. In this episode of Healthy Buzz, I sit down with Agnieszka Fronia, psychologist and PCOS advocate behind Eviva Health, to uncover the invisible layers of PCOS that rarely get addressed. We dive into the emotional toll of delayed diagnosis, why restrictive advice backfires, and how understanding the true nature of PCOS can completely change how women support their bodies and minds. This conversation is for women with PCOS who are tired of conflicting advice and ready for grounded, sustainable support that actually makes sense. In This Episode:

| 30. Why Women Need Strength Training Now with Allie Jackson | 20 janv. 2026 | 00:52:25 | |
Muscle isn’t a “fitness goal”. It’s a survival skill for your hormones, metabolism, and long-term health. In this episode of Healthy Buzz, I sit down with Allie Jackson of Mainstay Performance to break down why strength training matters so much for women, especially in perimenopause. We talk about how muscle supports metabolic health, hormone stability, and healthy aging—and why “more cardio and less food” often backfires as your body changes. Allie explains progressive overload in a way that actually makes sense, plus what recovery really has to do with results. We also get into popular trends like cycle syncing and weighted vests—what the data does (and doesn’t) say, and why your body’s feedback matters more than internet rules. This episode is for you if you’re navigating midlife body changes, feel stuck in chronic dieting or high-intensity workouts, or want a sustainable fitness approach that supports energy, strength, and long-term health.

Weight loss has been oversimplified for far too long, and that narrative is costing women their health, confidence, and trust in their bodies. In this episode of Healthy Buzz, I sit down with Megan Moore, registered dietitian and founder of My Bariatric Dietitian, to dismantle the myth that weight is just about willpower. Together, we unpack the science behind obesity, bariatric surgery, and GLP-1 medications — and why these tools are not shortcuts, but legitimate medical interventions when used correctly. This episode is for women who want to understand their bodies, make informed decisions about medical weight-loss tools, and move forward without shame or restriction. In This Episode:

Your hormones, gut, and energy can’t regulate when your nervous system feels under attack. In this episode, I sit down with Madalyn Baer of Wise Bite Wellness to break down how stress quietly drives fatigue, bloating, anxiety, and hormone chaos. We talk about why pushing harder with workouts and “perfect” nutrition can backfire when your nervous system is overloaded. Madalyn shares how her own gut and hormone struggles led her to a nervous-system-safe approach to movement and how women can use their energy and rhythms to train smarter, recover better, and feel more at peace in their bodies.

| 26. The Hidden Airway Issues Silently Draining Women’s Energy with Kristin Geist | 23 déc. 2025 | 00:47:54 | |
Airway issues are derailing women’s energy, hormones, and sleep—and most never realize the mouth is where the story begins. This episode reveals the overlooked oral factors silently driving fatigue, anxiety, and chronic symptoms. In this episode of Healthy Buzz, I sit down with dentist and airway specialist Kristen Geist to unpack how breathing mechanics, tongue position, and oral health directly influence women’s hormones, sleep, and overall health. Kristin shares her personal journey with undiagnosed upper airway resistance syndrome, years of exhaustion, anxiety, and lightheadedness, and how her symptoms were repeatedly dismissed as “just stress.” This conversation is for any woman dealing with fatigue, brain fog, jaw tension, acid reflux, or unrefreshing sleep who has been told everything looks “normal” but still doesn’t feel well. In this episode: • How Kristen discovered her own upper airway resistance syndrome after years of symptoms being dismissed • Why airway issues in women are under-diagnosed and often misattributed to stress or anxiety • The difference between sleep apnea and UARS, and why “mild” apnea isn’t mild • How mouth breathing impacts hormones, nervous system regulation, oral microbiome, and gut health • The role of tongue posture and tongue ties in breathing, jaw pain, headaches, and digestion • What to know before trying mouth taping, and why nasal breathing is essential • How oral appliances work, when they help, and when CPAP is still needed • Daily oral health habits that support whole-body health—from tongue scraping to neutralizing acidity • Why oral inflammation can shift during perimenopause and menopause Find an airway-focused provider: • AADSM Directory (American Academy of Dental Sleep Medicine): https://www.aadsm.org/?gad_source=1&gad_campaignid=23097479645&gbraid=0AAAABBOvoLEa3yX_rG1Saika8AXNer5qR&gclid=CjwKCAiA0eTJBhBaEiwA-Pa-hWxggueUrUg8GX8Hrvw2HrMKU8kIbnrsD89SFnKT7KFNRZm86GKm6BoCT6gQAvD_BwE • The Breathe Institute provider directory: https://thebreatheinstitute.com/ • Airway Circle provider listings: https://www.airwaycircle.com/directory Interested in delicious, high-protein recipes?

If you feel like you constantly are self-sabotaging, this episode is for you! In today’s episode of Healthy Buzz, I’m joined by menopause-informed health coach Renee Bellinger to explore what’s really behind self-sabotage. Not the surface-level explanation of “I have no willpower,” but the deeper habits, beliefs, and physiological changes that shape how we eat, move, cope, and show up for ourselves—especially as we enter perimenopause and menopause. Renee blends her background in counseling psychology, behavior change, and midlife health to help women understand why their bodies feel different, why their old strategies stop working, and how to build sustainable habits that actually fit this season of life.

Your weight is the least interesting thing about you, and yet so many of us have been taught it’s the only thing that matters. This conversation flips that script and invites you to build strength, capacity, and confidence in the body you have right now.
In this episode of Healthy Buzz, I sit down with Tara De Leon, award-winning personal trainer, fitness business coach, and co-host of the Wellness: Rebranded podcast, to unpack what weight-neutral fitness really looks like—especially for women in midlife, perimenopause, and beyond.
Together, we explore how to move your body for strength, longevity, and independence instead of chasing an arbitrary number on the scale or an outdated beauty standard. Our goal is that you walk away with powerful mindset shifts, practical strategies, and simple ways to add more movement into your life—no gym obsession or cardio punishment required. In this episode:

| 23. How Diet Culture's Chronic Under Fueling is Hurting Women's Health with Edie Horstman | 02 déc. 2025 | 00:46:05 | |
Are you doing “all the right things” with food and exercise… yet your hormones, energy, or cycle still feel completely off? In this episode I sit down with integrative nutrition health coach Edie Horstman of Wellness With Edie to unpack a hidden epidemic in women’s health: chronic under-fueling and the relentless pressure of diet culture. Edie shares her powerful story of going from years of irregular cycles, a late PCOS diagnosis, and fear-based medical advice… to naturally putting her PCOS into remission, conceiving both of her babies without fertility treatment, and rebuilding her metabolism and muscle in her 30s. Together, we dig into how “clean eating,” over-exercising, and shrinking yourself can silently disrupt hormones, fertility, blood sugar, and long-term health—and what it actually looks like to fuel your body.
In this episode: How Edie went from no period in her teens to a PCOS diagnosis in her late 20s Why hormonal birth control can mask symptoms and delay a true PCOS diagnosis The three main diagnostic criteria for PCOS (and signs you might be missing it) How under-eating, over-training, and low body fat impact ovulation and hormone production Why carbohydrates are essential for ovulation, energy, and “hormone balance” Why strength training is non-negotiable for long-term bone health, metabolism, and independence—especially in perimenopause and beyond

| 22. Women’s Guide to Smarter Money Decisions with Lisa Eaton | 25 nov. 2025 | 00:51:47 | |
What if the only reason money feels confusing is because no one ever gave you the language, tools, or education to understand it? In this episode, I’m sitting down with Lisa Eaton, founder of Firm Footing Financial Planning, to explore a part of life most women are left to navigate completely alone: their financial world. Lisa spent over 20 years as a physical therapist before shifting into financial planning, and now describes what she does as “physical therapy for your money.” With a doctorate in physical therapy and a master’s degree in financial planning, she helps people understand their finances without shame, guilt, jargon, or pressure. We unpack the stories we inherit about money, why so many women feel uncertain or intimidated by financial conversations, and the simple habits that build clarity and confidence over time. In this episode: • How childhood experiences shape your beliefs and behaviors around money • Why women often feel behind, excluded, or dismissed in financial conversations • Red flags to watch for when choosing a financial planner • The simple core habits that create financial stability • How to think about emergency funds, credit cards, and savings systems • The basics of retirement planning • Financial planning options for employees and the self employed • When financial therapy might help you move forward Connect with Lisa: Website: https://www.firmfootingfp.com/
