Pelvic Pain and Integrative Women's Health with Jessica Drummond
lundi 18 avril 2016 • Duration 46:42
Welcome! Today’s guest is Jessica Drummond, who has helped patients and practitioners in her area of expertise in functional medicine. Our topic today is Pelvic Pain. Join us!
Jessica discusses the following about Pelvic Pain:
- Jessica started out as a physical therapist, specializing in orthopedics and sports medicine.
- She worked with a patient recovering from breast cancer surgery, and began to specialize in women’s issues for the next ten years.
- Her focus has been on pelvic pain, sexual pain, fecal and urinary incontinence, pain during/after pregnancy, and pelvic organ prolapse.
- After the birth of her daughter in 2003, Jessica became sick with vague symptoms.
- Eventually, a few years later, she found a functional medicine doctor who was able to help, but she never realized that food would be part of her problem.
- No one had heard of “balancing hormones with food” at this time.
- Her eventual diagnosis was adrenal fatigue, and she felt relief to have some understanding and answers.
- Jessica dove into her personal nutrition, which evolved into a low sugar, high protein, high fat diet.
- She discovered the “missing link” to pelvic pain issues: HORMONES!
- She started working with women about using food as medicine and other coaching techniques to have more joy in life.
- Every woman is different regarding pelvic pain issues; there are no set protocols to follow!
- For her clients, Jessica focuses on taking away sources of inflammation, analyzing bowel health and digestion, and making nutritional changes.
- Adrenal fatigue can be the culprit for MANY pelvic problems.
- Jessica looks at the root causes and not the quick fix, knowing that each patient must build up physical resilience before other issues can be addressed.
- Jessica discusses the basics of her five training programs.
- Three months is the common length of time for a client’s healing. Their healing may not be complete, but they see signs of improvement in that time, even though it may be 6-12 months to complete the healing process.
- Rachel shares how she helps face the clinical challenges of her clients and helps them transform their pain.
- Communication is key in the client/practitioner relationship.
- Rachel’s favorite question to a client is, “When is the last time you felt REALLY well?”
- Rachel’s coaching sessions last 30 minutes because she wants to start with small changes that don’t overwhelm the client.
- Any practice that focuses on integrative physical therapy and functional medicine has the capacity to do the kind of work that Jessica does to help her clients.
- Jessica shares details about her pelvic pain elimination diet.

Toxic Ingredients in Skincare and What to Choose Instead
lundi 11 avril 2016 • Duration 54:01
Welcome to today’s show! Today we have our first repeat guest, Rachel Pontillo, who is an expert in holistic medicine and skin care. We had a great conversation the first time, but there is SO much more to discuss! Today we dig deeper with Rachel about creating your own skin care products. Join us!
Rachel shares the following about skin care:
- As she battled acne as a kid, she became interested in specific ingredients in skin care products.
- She later attended aesthetic school and learned about ayurvedic herbs and treatments, including herbalism, aromatherapy, and cosmetic chemistry.
- As Rachel experimented with mixing different ingredients, she wanted to create products that were shelf stable, and wanted to prove that she could make products with the same (or better!) quality as the super expensive ones at the spa.
- Rachel discusses reasons why you should make your own skin care products at home:
- Your products can be healthy and free from toxins.
- Your skin absorbs up to 66% of what is applied topically, so skin care products are just as important as the food you put IN your body.
- Individual ingredients at wholesale prices are available online for anyone.
- Homemade products will be more concentrated and have less water, less carrier oils, and will need less preservatives than over-the-counter products.
- The prices for various mixtures will vary, depending on the essential oils and carrier oils used.
- Regarding essential oils, Rachel stays “brand-neutral” in her courses, but has several manufacturers that she recommends. Listen to find out more!
- There is currently no regulation in the US for essential oils, so doing your homework is important to find high levels of purity and quality.
- Rachel cautions that essential oils should be handled with care, since they can be dangerous if used improperly.
- How do you know what toxins might be in your current skin care products? Rachel includes a “dirty 30” list in her book, but she cautions against parabens, sulfates, fragrances, and other preservatives.
- Rachel says that anyone who is interested in making skin care products should have a cosmetic ingredient dictionary to look up information about various ingredients, and to find alternatives to preservatives, surfactants, and emulsifiers.
- Rachel shares several stories of her “bloopers” that have occurred while mixing and creating her products. Listen and laugh along with us!
How to reach Rachel and more:

From Incurable to Invincible: Overcoming Chronic Pain and Disease
lundi 4 avril 2016 • Duration 52:48
Welcome! My guest today is Marcie Peters, a holistic nutritionist and featured speaker. She is the best-selling author of You Are Not Broken: From Incurable to Invincible, to be released later this week. Marcie is a graduate of the University of Washington and the Institute for Integrative Nutrition. She founded The Health and Happiness Guide and the Transform Your Health World Summit. Join me as we hear Marcie’s story!
Marcie shares the following about her life and work:
- In her early 20’s, Marcie began struggling with chronic health issues that began with flu-like symptoms.
- She was given no answers except for fibromyalgia and chronic fatigue syndrome and was told to manage her incurable symptoms with medications.
- Besides crippling fatigue, Marcie experienced body pain, digestive distress, cognitive dysfunction, migraines, weight gain, joint pain, and insomnia.
- Marcie began a 16-year journey with many ups and downs, but she finally found answers and changed her life!
- Her mission today is to help others bypass the years of confusion and jump right to helpful answers with the right strategy for success.
- What did she do? The first steps were to change her diet. She eliminated gluten, dairy, soy, eggs, corn, artificial sweeteners, artificial colors, and reduced her natural sugar intake.
- Marcie’s advice is to have a doctor or a health coach to help during the transition to a healthy diet, to have the right mindset, and to realize that there will be several days of feeling worse because of the narcotic effect of those eliminated foods.
- What does Marcie eat for sustainable change? Clean, organic, grass-fed meats, wild fish and seafood, organic fruits and vegetables, nuts, seeds, beans, legumes, quinoa, rice, millet, and lots of coconut products. She drinks LOTS of water, coconut water, herbal tea, and occasional coffee, but NO alcohol. Listen to find out what Marcie says about gluten-free products!
- As you make changes, your body sends you cues that you are doing the right things and improving.
- “You have a choice in everything you do in life!”
- As a health coach, Marcie has Seven Steps to Wellness:
- Sleep
- Nutrition
- Water Intake
- Movement
- Mindset
- Social Support
- Life Purpose
- Regarding mindset changes, Marcie says you have to “re-train” your brain by:
- Recognizing that YOU have a choice.
- Creating new associations and responses, called “pattern interrupts.”
- Celebrating successes.
- Being aware of “fight or flight” response and change it to activate relaxation.
- Meditating to “center” yourself.
- “Symptoms are really communication cues to alert us that something is going on and needs to be corrected.”
- “The journey toward yourself is where the real juiciness lies.”
- Marcie briefly shares her Pillars of Happiness:
- Personal responsibility
- Living consciously
- Accepting yourself
- Personal integrity
- Self-assertiveness
- Living purposefully
- Trust and surrender
- Writing her new book was a cathartic experience, but is a resource that anyone can use to heal. It’s a guide full of tools and information. It’s out later this week, on April 8!

Hormones and Gut Health with Bridgit Danner
lundi 28 mars 2016 • Duration 42:00
Welcome! Today’s guest is Bridgit Danner, a fellow podcaster who is passionate about women’s health. I met Bridgit at a conference in CA, and we connected immediately. Bridgit specializes in hormones and gut health, so those are our topics today. Join us!
Bridgit shares the following:
- The Hormone Summit is Bridgit’s latest project. The summit includes 35 interviews around themes of hormone issues, PCOS, PMS, endometriosis, thyroid disorders, skin problems, sex drive, life stages, fertility, per-menopause, food, lifestyle, and supportive modalities. The dates are April 11-18; see Resources below for details!
- What we eat dramatically impacts our hormones! Pesticides and hormones in our food overload our bodies with toxins.
- We need good fats, leafy greens, and fermented foods.
- Signs of an unhappy gut include bloating, irregular bowel, food coma, heartburn, gas, migraines, and skin disorders.
- There are common trigger foods for migraines, general inflammation, and even Candida issues.
- “Very few people have a great diet and great digestion.”
- An unhappy gut is a huge stress on the body, producing less sex hormones, less nutrients, and insufficient neurotransmitters.
- There are four tests that can be used to check for gut health:
- Urine test for intestinal permeability
- LEAP food sensitivity test
- Stool test
- Genetic test for mutations contributing to IBS
- Bridgit explains her best steps to start healing your gut:
- Eat well, slowly, and mindfully.
- Don’t rush while eating and don’t overeat.
- An elimination diet may be the answer for you.
- Eat fermented foods.
- Take a probiotic.
- Do what you can to lower your stress.
- Avoid allergens like corn, soy, dairy, wheat, sugar.
- Avoid coffee and tea.
- Adopt soothing practices for your gut’s mucous lining: use bone broth, collagen powder, L-glutamine, and aloe.
- Add lots of fiber; eat salad every day, and try to eat 20 different kinds of veggies each week!
- How much fiber is ideal? Bridgit recommends 30 grams/day.
- Bridgit shares ways to stimulate the “heat” of digestion to help break down foods.
- Contrary to the normal American way of eating and drinking, you should NOT drink icy beverages with meals!
