]]> #87 She Refused to Accept the Diagnosis (Part 1) Natalie Helman 00:28:41 In part 1 of this episode, Lindsie sits down with Natalie Helman to share a story that will resonate deeply with so many women navigating a PCOS diagnosis. From irregular cycles and painful ovarian cysts to hospital visits and being told her fertility journey could be difficult, Natalie found herself in a place many women know all too well—frustrated, overwhelmed, and without real answers. But instead of accepting that this was “just how it would be,” she chose a different path. Through small, intentional changes in nutrition, lifestyle, and stress management, Natalie began supporting her body in a new way—one rooted in awareness, not restriction. Within months, she noticed powerful shifts in her energy, sleep, and cycle regularity… and ultimately, went on to conceive naturally and later received confirmation that her cysts had resolved. This episode is a powerful reminder that healing doesn’t come from doing everything perfectly—it comes from learning how to listen to your body, reducing overwhelm, and taking aligned steps forward. Most importantly, it’s a conversation about reclaiming hope and realizing that you are not stuck in your diagnosis.

]]> #86 Why Nothing is Working, With Allie Chandler (Part 2) Allie Chandler 00:32:26 In this powerful and deeply human episode of PCOS Unfiltered, Lindsie sits down for part 2 of the episode with Allie Chandler to unpack what healing really looks like—beyond diets, supplements, and surface-level strategies. What unfolds is a raw, honest conversation about chronic illness, PCOS, and the emotional and nervous system patterns that often go unaddressed in traditional care. Allie shares her journey from thriving to chronically ill, and the unexpected lessons she learned along the way—especially the realization that healing isn’t something you can force, hustle, or perfect your way into. Instead, it requires safety, patience, and a willingness to look at the deeper layers: trauma, identity, body image, and self-worth. Together, Lindsie and Allie challenge the “do more, try harder” mentality that so many women with PCOS fall into. They explore how perfectionism, extreme protocols, environmental stressors, and unresolved emotional experiences can all contribute to a body that feels stuck—despite doing “everything right.” This episode ultimately reframes healing as a process of supporting the body, not controlling it—and reminds listeners that their symptoms are not failures, but messages.

🌿 Allie’s Healing Journey

  • From competitive athlete to chronically ill after a trip abroad
  • Living with Lyme disease, co-infections, and over 100+ symptoms
  • Being bed-bound in her mid-20s and navigating early marriage during illness
  • The long road of misdiagnosis and unanswered questions
  • Learning how to advocate for herself in a fragmented healthcare system

🧠 The Emotional Toll of Chronic Illness

  • Feeling isolated and “left behind” during major life stages
  • The mental exhaustion of searching for answers without clarity
  • Chronic illness as a form of ongoing trauma
  • Breaking out of the victim mindset and reclaiming personal power
  • Shifting from “why me?” to “how do I support myself through this?”

⚡ Nervous System & True Healing

  • Why your body must feel safe before it can heal
  • The connection between chronic illness, stress, and trauma
  • Signs of nervous system dysregulation (panic, sensory overload, hyper-vigilance)
  • Real-life examples of extreme dysregulation and fear responses

Tools Allie used in her healing:

  • Limbic system retraining
  • EFT (tapping)
  • EMDR therapy
  • Guided meditation & affirmations
  • Somatic and trauma-based approaches

💊 PCOS & Supplements: What Most People Get Wrong

  • The “more is better” mindset with supplements
  • Why taking multiple supplements without a plan can backfire
  • The importance of:
    • Testing vs. guessing
    • Having a clear protocol
    • Understanding your personal baseline

Foundational work before supplements:

  • Blood sugar regulation
  • Gut health
  • Stress management
  • Nervous system regulation

⚠️ Supplement Quality & Safety

  • The risks of low-quality or counterfeit supplements
  • Behind-the-scenes insight into supplement fraud and third-party sellers
  • Why sourcing matters (third-party testing, practitioner-grade, direct purchasing)
  • How ineffective or degraded supplements can impact results

🔑 Key Takeaways

  • Your body is not broken—it’s communicating
  • Healing starts with nervous system safety, not just protocols
  • You can’t out-supplement a dysregulated system
  • Chronic illness requires a whole-body, root-cause approach
  • More effort isn’t always better—alignment matters more than intensity
  • You are your own best advocate in your healing journey

💬 Standout Quotes

“You’re the only one who knows how you feel—so you have to keep advocating for yourself.”

“You can throw all the supplements at it, but if your body doesn’t feel safe, it’s not going to stick.”

“Your body isn’t broken—it’s communicating.”

“Healing doesn’t happen through pressure or perfection—it happens when your body feels safe.”

]]> #85 Why Nothing is Working, With Allie Chandler (Part 1) Allie Chandler 00:26:49 What if your body isn’t broken… but trying to communicate with you? In this powerful episode of PCOS Unfiltered, Lindsie sits down with Allie Chandler to explore her decade-long journey from being a healthy, active athlete to suddenly becoming chronically ill—and ultimately finding her way back to healing. After a trip abroad triggered a cascade of symptoms, Allie spent years navigating misdiagnoses, overwhelming physical challenges, and a healthcare system that couldn’t fully connect the dots. Through that process, she became her own advocate—diving into functional medicine, uncovering root causes, and discovering a crucial missing piece: the nervous system. This conversation goes far beyond PCOS and supplements. It dives into the emotional toll of chronic illness, the role of trauma and nervous system dysregulation, and why so many women feel stuck despite “doing everything right.” If you’ve ever felt frustrated, dismissed, or like your body isn’t responding the way it should—this episode will give you a completely new lens on healing. Because healing isn’t about doing more… it’s about doing what actually supports your body. What if your body isn’t broken… but trying to communicate with you?

]]> #84 The Identity Shift That Changes Everything With Vicki McDougall Vicki McDougall 00:36:21 What if the most powerful shift in your life isn’t changing your diagnosis, your circumstances, or your environment… but choosing who you become within them? In this deeply moving and empowering conversation, Lindsie sits down with coach and podcast host Vicki McDougall to explore what it truly means to reclaim your identity after life breaks you open. From navigating cancer and chronic health challenges to experiencing profound grief, burnout, and loss, Vicki shares how years of putting everyone else first left her disconnected from herself—and how everything changed when she finally turned inward. This episode goes beyond surface-level healing. It dives into the patterns so many women live in: staying busy to avoid feeling, ignoring the body’s signals, questioning our worth, and believing we’re stuck. But here’s the truth you’ll hear over and over in this conversation: You are not stuck. You are not powerless. And you always have a choice in who you become. Together, Lindsie and Vicki unpack the mindset shifts, emotional awareness, and small daily actions that lead to lasting transformation—from “I’ll try” to “I am,” from competition to collaboration, and from disconnection to deep self-trust. If you’ve been feeling overwhelmed, burnt out, or disconnected from yourself, this episode will remind you that everything you need is already within you—you just have to get quiet enough to hear it.

]]> #83 The Truth About Intuitive Eating No One Tells You With Laura Heflin (Part 2) Laura Heflin 00:26:49 In part 2 of this powerful episode of PCOS Unfiltered, Lindsie sits down with holistic nutritionist and wellness consultant Laura Heflin to explore what it really means to heal your relationship with food, your body, and your health. After years of restrictive dieting, hormonal imbalances, eating disorder struggles, and personal health challenges, Laura shares how everything shifted when she stopped trying to control her body—and started listening to it instead. Together, they unpack the truth about intuitive eating, the dangers of rigid diet culture, and why sustainable health requires both structure and flexibility. From meal planning and metabolism to nervous system regulation, setbacks, and cycle-based nutrition, this conversation challenges the idea that there is one “right” way to heal. They also dive into the emotional side of healing—why progress isn’t linear, why the scale doesn’t define your health, and how reconnecting with your purpose can be the missing piece in creating lasting change. If you’ve ever felt stuck, overwhelmed by conflicting health advice, or disconnected from your body, this episode will help you slow down, tune in, and start trusting yourself again.

]]> #81 Why You Should Be Living and Not Suffering, With Chris Garrido (Part 2) Chris Garrido 00:33:31 In this part 2 of this powerful episode of PCOS Unfiltered, Lindsie continues the conversation with Chris Garrido to explore what it really takes to create lasting transformation—from the inside out. After years of feeling stuck, unhealthy, and disconnected, Chris reached a breaking point that forced him to confront the reality of where his life was headed. At nearly 500 pounds and facing serious health challenges, he realized something had to change. But what makes this story different isn’t just the weight loss—it’s the mindset shift. Through a combination of nutrition, medical support, strength training, and deep internal work, Chris didn’t just change his body—he changed his identity. He became a more present husband, a more engaged father, and someone committed to living fully instead of just getting by. This episode goes far beyond physical transformation. It’s about discipline, commitment, raising your standards, and understanding that real change happens one decision at a time. Because the truth is… No matter what you are struggling with... You are not too far gone. And you are not done yet.

]]> #80 Why You Should Be Living and Not Suffering, With Chris Garrido Chris Garrido 00:36:11 What if the story you’ve been telling yourself… isn’t the one you have to keep living? In this deeply moving episode of PCOS Unfiltered, Lindsie sits down with Chris Garrido to explore what happens when someone reaches a breaking point—and chooses to do something different. After years of living in a body that felt limiting, painful, and unsustainable, Chris found himself facing a reality he could no longer ignore. At nearly 500 pounds, grieving the loss of his father, and unable to fully show up for his family, he realized that if something didn’t change… everything would. What followed wasn’t a quick fix. It was a decision—and then another, and another. Through a combination of nutrition, medical support, hormone optimization, and strength training, Chris didn’t just lose weight—he rebuilt his life. But more importantly, he shifted his identity. This episode dives into the uncomfortable middle: the fear, the resistance, the first 30 days that feel unbearable, and the discipline it takes to keep going anyway. Because the truth is—transformation doesn’t come from perfection. It comes from deciding you’re not done yet. What if the story you’ve been telling yourself… isn’t the one you have to keep living?

🌿 Episode Highlights

  • Why self-awareness is the foundation of all healing and transformation
  • Anni’s unexpected journey from teacher to healer
  • What seasonal healing really means (and why it matters)
  • How living in constant productivity dysregulates your nervous system
  • The importance of winter as a season of rest, reflection, and creation
  • What shifts as we move into spring energy
  • The connection between seasonal eating and body alignment
  • Why healing is not about fixing—but remembering who you are
  • The danger of self-pressure, criticism, and “forcing” healing
  • How misalignment between your internal and external seasons shows up
  • Why resistance and fear are natural—but don’t have to control you

🌸 Practical Takeaways

1. Slow down and observe your body
Pay attention to how your body responds to different activities, environments, and choices. Your body is constantly communicating—it just needs you to listen.

2. Breathe deeply (yes, really)
Deep, intentional breathing helps regulate your nervous system, reduce stress, and reconnect you to your body. Simple doesn’t mean ineffective—it often means powerful.

3. Honor your season
If you feel depleted in a season that’s meant for growth, it may be a sign you skipped rest. You can’t bypass what your body needs.

4. Stop forcing healing
Healing is not about pressure, perfection, or fixing yourself. It’s about creating the conditions that allow transformation to happen naturally.

🌼 Key Themes from the Episode

  • Healing is cyclical, not linear
  • Rest is necessary, not optional
  • Misalignment happens—and can be navigated with awareness
  • Your nervous system reflects how well you’re listening to your body
  • Growth requires both action and surrender
  • The most powerful healing tools are often the simplest ones

🔑 Quote-Worthy Moments

  • “Healing is not about fixing someone. It’s about helping them remember who they truly are.”
  • “You can’t skip a season—your body will always catch up with you.”
  • “The most powerful practices are the simplest ones.”
  • “If you want to change your life, know yourself better.”

🌷 Final Reflection

As you move into this next season, ask yourself:
Where am I forcing… instead of listening?

Because healing often begins the moment you stop fighting yourself—and start paying attention.

  • Misalignment happens—and can be navigated with awareness
  • Your nervous system reflects how well you’re listening to your body
  • Growth requires both action and surrender
  • The most powerful healing tools are often the simplest ones

🔑 Quote-Worthy Moments

  • “Healing is not about fixing someone. It’s about helping them remember who they truly are.”
  • “You can’t skip a season—your body will always catch up with you.”
  • “The most powerful practices are the simplest ones.”
  • “If you want to change your life, know yourself better.”

🌷 Final Reflection

As you move into this next season, ask yourself:
Where am I forcing… instead of listening?

Because healing often begins the moment you stop fighting yourself—and start paying attention.

]]> #79 Why You Feel Off, With Anni Eza Anni Eza 00:35:31 What if healing wasn’t about fixing yourself—but remembering who you truly are? In this powerful and refreshing episode of PCOS Unfiltered, Lindsie sits down with Anni Eza, master healer and co-founder of Seeds of Bliss, to explore a completely different approach to healing—one rooted in self-awareness, seasonal rhythms, and deep reconnection. Together, they unpack how modern life has pulled us out of alignment with nature—and how that disconnect is showing up in our nervous systems, energy levels, and overall health. Anni shares her journey into healing, revealing how curiosity—not crisis—led her to rediscover parts of herself that had been dormant. This conversation dives into the concept of seasonal healing, explaining why winter is essential for rest and reflection, and how spring naturally invites growth, renewal, and forward movement—but only if we’ve honored the seasons before it. You’ll also walk away with simple, powerful practices to reconnect with your body, regulate your nervous system, and move through life with more ease and alignment. The biggest takeaway? Healing doesn’t come from pressure, discipline, or doing more—it comes from understanding yourself better. What if healing wasn’t about fixing yourself—but remembering who you truly are?

]]> #77 Why Women Struggle to Trust Themselves (And How to Change That) With Shauna Hawkes Lindsie Vizethann 00:36:25 Many women feel disconnected from their bodies, stuck in cycles of overthinking, self-doubt, and self-sabotage — especially when navigating chronic conditions like PCOS or healing from past trauma. In this powerful episode of PCOS Unfiltered, Lindsie sits down with embodiment mentor, Gene Keys guide, and yoga instructor Shauna Hawkes to explore how women can reconnect with their bodies and reclaim their inner wisdom. Shauna shares her deeply personal story of growing up in a traumatic environment and how that experience led her to live almost entirely in her mind — constantly analyzing, questioning, and doubting herself. Her healing journey began through therapy, but it was ultimately through embodiment practices like yoga and nervous system regulation that she discovered how to move from survival mode into true self-trust. Together, Lindsie and Shauna discuss why so many women struggle to make decisions, how fear fuels self-sabotage, and why learning to listen to the body is a crucial step in emotional and hormonal balance. Shauna also introduces the Gene Keys, a contemplative system that helps people understand their emotional patterns, shadow behaviors, and innate gifts — offering a pathway toward deeper self-awareness and transformation. If you've ever felt stuck in your head, unsure how to move forward, or disconnected from your body, this conversation offers practical tools and a powerful reminder that healing begins by returning to yourself.

Tracy shares her powerful story of surviving a catastrophic childhood car accident, living through sexual assault, and suppressing the emotional impact of both for years. Together, they unpack how unresolved trauma can shape the nervous system, influence physical health, and keep people stuck in patterns of hyper-vigilance, pain, and disconnection. The conversation dives into the link between trauma and women’s health, including debilitating cycles, fibroids, stress, and hormonal imbalance. Tracy also opens up about the healing tools that helped her reconnect with herself, including meditation, breathwork, hypnosis, and MDMA-assisted therapy. Rather than presenting healing as one-size-fits-all, this episode highlights the importance of nervous system regulation, self-awareness, and finding safe, supportive pathways to process what has been buried. This is ultimately a conversation about hope. It is about understanding the messages behind symptoms, learning to listen to the body, and realizing that healing is still possible even after years of survival mode. Tracy’s story is a reminder that it is never too late to meet yourself more fully, reclaim your voice, and become your own hero.

]]> #75 When Trauma Lives in the Body, and What It's Doing to Your Nervous System, with Tracy Smaldino (Part 1) Tracy Smaldino 00:29:05 What happens when trauma stays buried for decades? In this deeply raw and powerful conversation, Lindsie sits down with Tracy Smaldino, who shares her extraordinary story of survival, suppression, and ultimately healing. At just 12 years old, Tracy survived a catastrophic car accident that left her with burns over 70% of her body and took the lives of her two cousins. Only a few years later, she experienced another devastating trauma — a sexual assault she kept secret for more than 40 years. For decades, Tracy pushed forward, building a life and career while unknowingly carrying layers of unresolved trauma in her nervous system. Anxiety, hyper-vigilance, and instability quietly shaped her choices and relationships. Everything began to shift when Tracy discovered meditation, which opened the door to deeper healing. Her journey eventually led her to explore modalities like MDMA-assisted therapy, hypnosis, journaling, and nervous system work, allowing her to confront suppressed memories and find something she never expected — self-forgiveness. In this episode, we explore how trauma impacts the nervous system, why suppressed experiences can shape our lives in ways we don’t realize, and why healing often begins the moment we decide to face ourselves with compassion. Tracy’s story is proof that no matter how much time has passed, it is never too late to heal. What happens when trauma stays buried for decades?

The Truth About Insulin Resistance With Beverly Mazza (Part 2) Resources & Links

Upcoming Event

  • Register for FREE here for the Mindful to Mind-Full Spring Workshop
    🗓 March 15 | 12 PM Eastern
  • This live workshop will help you identify which type of hunger is driving the urge to eat, regulate your nervous system before making food decisions, create a repeatable rhythm that supports hormones, blood sugar, and cravings, and shift from mindless autopilot to confident, self-led choices
  • If you’ve ever thought, “I know what to do, I just can’t stay consistent,” this workshop will help you build the skills that make consistency possible.

 

In This Episode, We Discuss:

  • Why hormonal shifts during PCOS, perimenopause, and menopause impact metabolism
  • The connection between insulin resistance, blood sugar regulation, and hormone health
  • Why a normal A1C doesn’t always mean optimal metabolic health
  • How continuous glucose monitors (CGMs) provide real-time insight into blood sugar patterns
  • The role of stress, sleep, and nervous system regulation in blood sugar control
  • Why food isn’t the only factor influencing glucose levels
  • How small lifestyle changes—like movement, breathwork, and meal timing—can influence metabolic health
  • Common mistakes people make when using CGMs without proper guidance
  • The importance of interpreting health data within the full context of labs, symptoms, and lifestyle
  • How personalized data can empower better decisions rather than promote restriction

Key Takeaways

  • Metabolic changes often begin before lab values officially cross into “abnormal” ranges.
  • Blood sugar patterns are influenced by stress, sleep, hydration, activity levels, and meal composition.
  • Continuous glucose monitors can be powerful awareness tools when used with proper interpretation and context.
  • Health optimization is not about perfection—it’s about identifying which lever to pull first based on your current capacity.
  • Symptoms, labs, and patterns are signals from your body—not signs that you’re failing.

]]> #74 Normal A1C, Still Struggling? The Truth About Insulin Resistance With Beverly Mazza (Part 2) Beverly Mazza 00:32:21 In this episode of PCOS Unfiltered: Nourish, Heal, Thrive, Lindsie sits down for the second part with registered nurse and board-certified nurse coach Beverly Mazza, founder of Purely Present Health, to explore the often overlooked connection between hormones, metabolism, and blood sugar regulation. Together, they discuss how hormonal shifts during PCOS, perimenopause, and menopause can influence metabolic health—often long before standard lab markers like A1C show a problem. Beverly explains how tools like continuous glucose monitors (CGMs) can provide personalized insights into how food, stress, sleep, and daily habits impact blood sugar in real time. The conversation highlights that metabolic health is not just about food choices. Stress levels, nervous system regulation, movement, hydration, and lifestyle patterns all play critical roles in how the body processes glucose. Beverly shares how CGMs can empower people to see these connections firsthand, turning data into a powerful behavior-change tool. They also address common mistakes people make when using these devices, such as interpreting the data without proper context or becoming overly restrictive with food. Ultimately, the episode emphasizes the importance of personalized health insights, self-advocacy, and a whole-body approach to metabolic health. Listeners will walk away understanding that symptoms, lab trends, and metabolic data are messages from the body—not failures—and that meaningful health improvements often begin with small, strategic shifts.

Why does “doing all the right things” stop working? And why do your labs look “normal” while you feel anything but? In this episode of PCOS Unfiltered, Lindsie sits down with registered nurse, board-certified nurse coach, and founder of Purely Present Health, Beverly Mazza, to unpack the metabolic side of hormone shifts — especially in PCOS, perimenopause, and menopause. Together, they explore how insulin resistance often shows up before traditional lab markers turn red, why A1C doesn’t tell the whole story, and how tools like continuous glucose monitors (CGMs) can offer powerful insight — even for women without diabetes. They also dig into something often overlooked in metabolic health conversations: stress, sleep, nervous system regulation, and how your body’s sense of safety directly impacts blood sugar, weight loss resistance, and hormone balance. This conversation is empowering, validating, and deeply practical. If you've felt confused, stuck, or blamed by generic health advice, this episode will help you understand what's really happening beneath the surface. You are not broken. Your body is communicating.

]]> #72 Can 12 Minutes Change Your Life? (Part 2) with Steve Haberlin Steve Haberlin 00:26:11 In part 2 of this forward-thinking and grounded conversation, Lindsie sits down with Steve Haberlin to explore how mindfulness and meditation are evolving in the age of AI, virtual reality, and wearable technology. Together, they unpack the difference between mindfulness and meditation, what research says about short practices and the “minimum effective dose,” and why so many people quit meditation apps within the first month. Steve shares fascinating insights into how AI chatbots, hyper-personalized meditation tools, virtual reality environments, and biometric tracking devices may dramatically reduce the learning curve for new meditators. At the same time, they address the real concerns around privacy, safety, over-reliance on technology, and the importance of preserving the human element of traditional practice. If you’ve ever wondered whether meditation apps are enough, how AI might change mental wellness, or how to make mindfulness realistic in a busy life, this episode will expand your perspective while keeping your feet firmly on the ground.

What we cover:

  • Steve’s origin story: martial arts, curiosity, and discovering meditation early
  • Mindfulness vs. meditation:  Mindfulness = present-moment awareness without judgment, Meditation = the larger umbrella of mental training methods (including mindfulness, mantra, loving-kindness, etc.)
  • Why different meditation styles create different outcomes (like “strength training vs. cardio” for the brain)
  • What research shows about short practices (3–5 minute “resets”) and benefits like focus and reduced stress/anxiety
  • What isn’t fully proven yet: meditation automatically improving grades/test scores (mixed findings)
  • Gender differences in research findings—and why the bigger message is: this is a human tool, not a “type of person” thing
  • Why people quit meditation apps, and what helps people actually stick with practice (realism + consistency)
  • Minimum effective dose: research suggesting ~12 minutes/day, ~5 days/week for mindfulness benefits
  • Morning meditation advantages:  less chaos, sets the tone for the day, brainwave “ramp-up” after waking can make it easier to drop into a calmer state
  • Habit-building tip: link meditation to something you already do (bathroom, coffee, brushing teeth)
  • Lindsie shares what she gravitates toward: guided meditations, sound baths/frequencies, bedtime listening
  • The future: AI + VR + wearables and the promise (and concerns) around personalization, privacy, and over-reliance
  • Closing takeaways: you don’t need an hour—start small, stay consistent, and choose a method you’ll actually do

Key takeaways 

  • You don’t need “perfect” meditation—you need repeatable meditation.
  • Different practices do different things, so match the method to your goal.
  • Even short resets can help regulate stress, but consistency is what builds lasting change.
  • As tech evolves, we need to keep mental wellness human-centered (privacy, safety, discernment).

]]> #71 Can 12 Minutes Change Your Life? (Part 1) with Steve Haberlin Steve Haberlin 00:27:07 In this episode, Lindsie sits down with Steve Haberlin, assistant professor at the University of Central Florida, to break down the real difference between mindfulness and meditation—and why they’re so often confused. Steve shares how his journey began with martial arts as a kid and evolved into years of research with students and educators, exploring how brief practices can reduce stress, improve focus, and support mental health. You’ll also hear what research suggests about the “minimum effective dose” of meditation, why consistency matters more than perfection, and how morning practice can work with your brain’s natural rhythm. Plus, Steve and Lindsie zoom out into the future: how AI, virtual reality, and wearables may personalize meditation like never before—and why privacy and safety must stay part of the conversation.

What We Discuss:

The Fear Around Change

  • Why health changes can feel scary and overwhelming
  • The psychological resistance behind “quick fixes”
  • Why resolution culture often leads to burnout

What Holistic Nutrition Really Means

  • Seeing the person as a whole, not just a diagnosis
  • Understanding the body within its environment (work, stress, family, sleep)
  • Why asking “What’s causing this?” matters more than “What pill fixes this?”
  • How childhood health, birth history, and foundational years impact adult wellness

What to Expect in a Nutritional Consultation

  • A deep dive into health history from birth to present
  • Reviewing stress levels, sleep patterns, lifestyle demands, and goals
  • Examining food diaries without judgment
  • Creating a personalized, sustainable health support plan

Why Quick Fixes Don’t Last

  • The “plaster on a wound” analogy
  • Why biohacks and trend-based solutions often ignore root causes
  • A nuanced conversation about GLP-1 medications as short-term bridges vs. long-term solutions
  • The importance of lifestyle shifts alongside medical interventions

Do You Have to Give Up Your Favorite Foods?

  • Why sustainable change doesn’t require extreme restriction
  • Small, agreed-upon steps vs. overwhelming overhauls
  • Gradual reduction instead of elimination (ex: reducing coffee vs. quitting cold turkey)
  • Why sustainable habits beat temporary discipline

Progress Over Perfection

  • Why setbacks are part of the process
  • Moving forward without guilt or self-punishment
  • Reframing health as consistency + context + compassion

Key Takeaways

  • Holistic care isn’t anti-doctor — it’s root-cause focused.
  • Nutrition is more than food; it includes stress, sleep, environment, and lifestyle.
  • Quick fixes may offer short-term change, but sustainable results require deeper work.
  • Small, manageable changes are more powerful than drastic overhauls.
  • You’re not failing if you struggle — you’re human. The goal is returning to the process, not being perfect.

In This Episode, We Discuss:

  • What resilience actually looks like on a day-to-day basis
  • Annie’s early struggles with agoraphobia and panic — and the internal dialogue that changed everything
  • Navigating lupus and reaching a negative ANA after two decades
  • The emotional and identity impact of a celiac diagnosis — especially as a food writer
  • Grieving her sister and best friend while facing a new autoimmune diagnosis
  • The loneliness epidemic and why community is medicine
  • Creating connection instead of waiting for it
  • Victim mentality vs. empowered support spaces
  • Making lemonade out of lemons: turning diagnosis into purpose
  • Writing a gluten-free cookbook focused on real meals (not just baking)
  • Redefining identity beyond illness
  • The importance of practitioners who support integrative healing
  • The “spoons” concept and honoring energy limitations
  • Why healing requires both medical care and mindset shifts

🩷 Memorable Takeaways

  • “If I continue to define myself by how sick I am, I won’t be anything else.”
  • You are not dramatic for wanting answers.
  • Healing is not either/or. It’s integrative.
  • Loneliness keeps people stuck. Connection helps people move.
  • Sometimes resilience looks like talking yourself through the next right step.

🌿 Listener Reflection

If you’re feeling alone in your diagnosis, ask yourself:

  • Where could I build connection instead of waiting for it?
  • What part of my identity feels shaken — and what part is still solid?
  • What small step could I take this week toward agency?

This episode is a reminder that healing is messy, nonlinear, and deeply human — and still possible.

]]> #68 Defining Yourself by Wellness, Not Illness, With Annie Toro Lopez (Part 1) Annie Toro Lopez 00:25:18 In this deeply moving episode of PCOS Unfiltered, Lindsie sits down with cookbook author and chronic illness advocate Annie Toro Lopez for a conversation that goes far beyond symptoms and lab results. Annie shares her journey of being diagnosed with lupus (SLE) in her early 20s, navigating years of aggressive medical treatment, fear-based prognoses, and the emotional weight of being told what her body could—and could not—do. Annie opens up about motherhood in the face of autoimmune illness, the trauma stored in the body, and how therapy, mindset, and self-understanding became essential parts of her healing process. After decades of intensive work, Annie reached a milestone many don’t even realize is possible: a negative ANA after 20 years. Later, following profound personal loss, Annie received a celiac disease diagnosis—one that ultimately led her to build community and create resources that now support thousands of people navigating food and chronic illness. This episode explores what happens when a diagnosis threatens your identity—and how healing can begin when you refuse to let illness define who you are.

]]> #67 Why Willpower Isn't Enough with Dr. Robb Kelly (Part 2) Dr. Robb Kelly 00:23:12 In this powerful and deeply honest episode of PCOS Unfiltered, Lindsie sits down for part two with Dr. Rob Kelly, PhD, a world-renowned addiction expert and recovered alcoholic, to explore what really drives addiction, self-sabotage, and compulsive behaviors. This conversation goes far beyond alcohol or drugs and dives into the subconscious patterns that keep people stuck in cycles of emotional eating, body shame, perfectionism, and chronic self-harm — even when they know better. Dr. Robb explains why addiction isn’t about the substance or behavior itself, but about the nervous system’s attempt to regain safety and control after trauma. Through unforgettable stories — including the metaphor of “smashing the box” — he illustrates why familiar pain often feels safer than unfamiliar freedom, and why willpower alone will never be enough to create lasting change. Together, Lindsay and Dr. Rob connect the dots between trauma, food addiction, body image, chronic illness, PCOS, and the cultural systems that profit from keeping people disconnected from their bodies. They discuss how healing happens when the focus shifts from fixing symptoms to understanding root causes — and how weight loss, confidence, and freedom often become side effects of real healing. This episode is a compassionate reminder that your body isn’t broken — it’s been trying to protect you. And those survival patterns can be rewired.

In this episode, we explore:

  • Terri’s near-death experience and how ignoring her body’s signals led to a ruptured appendix and peritonitis
  • Why disconnection from the body often begins as a survival strategy
  • How trauma and suppressed emotions manifest as physical symptoms
  • The role of nervous system regulation in restoring clarity, calm, and self-trust
  • Why fear is learned — and how it differs from intuition
  • How chronic conditions like PCOS are often compounded by stress, shame, and emotional suppression
  • The difference between guilt and shame, and why that distinction matters for healing
  • How emotional resilience supports hormone health, burnout recovery, and self-advocacy in medical settings
  • Why rest, sleep, hydration, and nourishment are foundational for healing
  • Simple daily practices to calm the nervous system during high-stress seasons
  • The “Name It and Feel It” method for processing emotions without stuffing them
  • A powerful 5-count breathing technique to reset the nervous system
  • Why healing only happens in the present moment
  • How self-compassion and self-care are essential — not selfish
  • Reframing the belief that you’re “not enough” and reconnecting with your inherent worth
  • The power of “I Am” affirmations to shift self-talk and restore presence

Key Takeaway

  • Your body isn’t broken.  It isn’t betraying you.  It’s been speaking to you all along — asking for rest, attention, compassion, and trust.
  • Healing doesn’t come from forcing change.  It comes from listening.

  • Terri’s near-death experience and how ignoring her body’s signals led to a ruptured appendix and peritonitis
  • Why disconnection from the body often begins as a survival strategy
  • How trauma and suppressed emotions manifest as physical symptoms
  • The role of nervous system regulation in restoring clarity, calm, and self-trust
  • Why fear is learned — and how it differs from intuition
  • How chronic conditions like PCOS are often compounded by stress, shame, and emotional suppression
  • The difference between guilt and shame, and why that distinction matters for healing
  • How emotional resilience supports hormone health, burnout recovery, and self-advocacy in medical settings
  • Why rest, sleep, hydration, and nourishment are foundational for healing
  • Simple daily practices to calm the nervous system during high-stress seasons
  • The “Name It and Feel It” method for processing emotions without stuffing them
  • A powerful 5-count breathing technique to reset the nervous system
  • Why healing only happens in the present moment
  • How self-compassion and self-care are essential — not selfish
  • Reframing the belief that you’re “not enough” and reconnecting with your inherent worth
  • The power of “I Am” affirmations to shift self-talk and restore presence

Key Takeaway

  • Your body isn’t broken.  It isn’t betraying you.  It’s been speaking to you all along — asking for rest, attention, compassion, and trust.
  • Healing doesn’t come from forcing change.  It comes from listening.

]]> #64 Your Body Isn't Betraying You, With Terri Kozlowski Terri Kozlowski 00:36:44 What happens when you ignore your body for too long? In this powerful and deeply human conversation, Lindsie is joined by Terri Kozlowski, author, trauma warrior, emotional resilience coach, and host of the Soul Solutions podcast, to explore what it truly means to reconnect with your body after years of disconnection, survival mode, and suppressed emotions. Terri shares her own life-altering wake-up call — a ruptured appendix and near-death experience — that forced her to confront just how disconnected she had become from her body’s signals. From there, they dive into how trauma, chronic stress, and emotional suppression can show up as physical symptoms, and why so many women, especially those navigating PCOS and chronic conditions, struggle to trust their bodies. Together, they unpack nervous system regulation, fear versus intuition, shame versus guilt, emotional resilience, and the daily practices that help women stop living in survival mode and start leading themselves with clarity, compassion, and self-trust. This episode is an invitation to slow down, listen differently, and remember that your body isn’t betraying you — it’s communicating with you. What happens when you ignore your body for too long?

What you’ll learn inside this episode:

  • Why poor sleep can worsen insulin resistance, cortisol, cravings, mood, digestion, and cycles for women with PCOS
  • How the Horary Body Clock helps decode night waking patterns
  • 3:00–5:00 a.m. (lungs): the link between lung detox, stress breathing, and emotions like grief/sadness
  • How deep breathing supports the vagus nerve, digestion, stress regulation, and sleep quality
  • What to do if you wake up to pee in the middle of the night (and what not to do)
  • 5:00–7:00 a.m. (large intestine): elimination, consistency, and when bowel patterns are a red flag
  • Morning routines that support detox: room-temp water first, lemon/ACV/ginger/turmeric, and morning sunlight
  • Why coffee first thing may spike cortisol (and what to do instead)
  • Practical strategies for shift workers to protect sleep, metabolism, and detox pathways
  • Kate’s framework: synergistic + strategic + intentional eating (pairing foods, timing, and the “why” behind eating)

Practical takeaways:

If you wake up overnight:

  • Keep it dark, quiet, and boring (no bright lights, no phone, no scrolling)
  • Ask: Is this happening at the same time every night? (pattern = clue)
  • If it’s disruptive despite cut-offs, talk with a clinician

Morning support (5–7 a.m. window):

  • Start with room temperature water before anything else
  • Add gentle detox supports if desired: lemon, ACV, ginger, turmeric
  • Get 15 minutes of outdoor morning light before screens when possible
  • Delay coffee 45–60 minutes to avoid a big cortisol spike
  • “Bowel training” can help: give your body time and routine to empty

Shift workers:

  • Make sleep a “sleep cave”: cool room (~62°F), dark, eye mask, zero interruptions
  • Support liver detox while awake: cruciferous veg, beets, lemon/ACV, castor oil packs, lymphatic support
  • When off shift, prioritize sleeping during natural night hours when you can (helps the body remember circadian rhythm)

]]> #63 The Horary Body Clock: A New Way to Understand Hormones and Healing with Kate Lazzarotti (Part 2) Kate Lazzarotti 00:30:42 In the second part of this episode with Kate Lazzarotti (National Board-Certified Health & Wellness Coach, integrative nutritionist, and founder of KCL Wellness), they discuss how to unpack how sleep impacts PCOS symptoms—and how to stop treating sleep like an “optional extra.” They explore the Traditional Chinese Medicine Horary Body Clock as a tool for understanding why you wake up at the same time every night and what your body may be working on during specific nighttime windows. Kate explains the emotional connections tied to organ systems—especially the lungs (3–5 a.m.), which can hold grief and sadness—and how stress, shallow breathing, and nervous system dysregulation can interfere with detoxification and deep rest. You’ll also hear practical strategies for common sleep disruptors like waking to go to the bathroom, including keeping the room dark, avoiding phone/light exposure, and adjusting fluid timing. The conversation wraps with what’s happening 5–7 a.m. (large intestine + elimination), simple morning routines to support detoxification (water first, anti-inflammatory add-ins, morning sunlight), and realistic guidance for shift workers—how to create a “sleep cave,” support liver detox, and reduce the metabolic fallout of inconsistent circadian rhythm. The heart of the episode is this: the most powerful “resolution” is learning your body’s language—because once you know, you know, and that kind of health education can’t be taken away.

What you’ll learn

  • Why sleep problems can amplify PCOS symptoms through cortisol and insulin resistance
  • What the Horary Body Clock (Traditional Chinese Medicine) is and how it can explain night wakings
  • Why 9–11 PM is a critical “wind down” window for hormone and immune support
  • How late-night eating can disrupt digestion, bile flow, and deep sleep
  • What waking between 11 PM–1 AM may suggest about gallbladder/bile
  • What waking between 1–3 AM may suggest about liver detoxification
  • The gut-sleep connection: serotonin, melatonin, immunity, and gut lining repair
  • Simple bedtime rituals that support nervous system regulation and deeper rest
  • The role of temperature changes (getting chilly at night) as a sleep cue
  • A holistic lens: how unprocessed emotions (anger/frustration) may show up in the body (liver window)

Practical takeaways:

  • Start a 9 PM wind-down cue: dim lights, reduce screens, stop eating, calm your nervous system
  • Keep your bedroom cool + dark
  • If you wake up at the same time nightly, note the time and get curious about patterns
  • Build a bedtime ritual you actually enjoy (so it becomes sustainable)

In this episode, Lindsie welcomes Kate Lazzarotti (KCL Wellness), a National Board-Certified Health & Wellness Coach and integrative nutritionist, to explore the Traditional Chinese Medicine “Horary Body Clock”—a framework that maps which organs are most active and regenerating at different hours of the night. Kate breaks down what your body may be doing during key windows, especially 9–11 PM (triple burner/endocrine + metabolic rhythm), 11 PM–1 AM (gallbladder + bile flow), and 1–3 AM (liver detoxification)—and how waking at the same time nightly can be a clue, not a random flaw. You’ll also hear practical, real-life wind-down strategies (lymphatic massage, dry brushing, castor oil packs, temperature changes, and food timing), plus a deeper lens: how stress, cortisol, and even stored emotions can affect sleep quality and organ function. The episode closes with a quick recap and an invitation to join The Anti-Resolution Revolution (Jan 26–31)—a free, gamified event designed to help listeners understand why resolutions fail and what actually creates sustainable change.

In This Episode We Cover:

  • Why so many women with PCOS struggle not just with hormones, but with conditioning, diet culture, and chronic self-distrust
  • How Human Design can help validate your body’s needs around food, energy, rest, and decision-making
  • Understanding the basics of Human Design: type, strategy, and authority—and why these alone can be life-changing
  • The role of profiles (like the hermit, networker, and role model) and how honoring them supports nervous system regulation
  • Why alone time, quiet, or spaciousness isn’t a problem—but often a requirement for clarity and alignment
  • How environment and digestion styles can influence stress, eating patterns, and overall health
  • The importance of honoring children’s natural hunger cues and energy rhythms instead of enforcing rigid rules
  • How Human Design can support healthier relationships by normalizing differences in connection, space, and communication
  • Using Human Design as an experiment—not a rulebook—to reduce guilt and overcommitment
  • Red flags to watch for when choosing practitioners, and why empowerment should always be at the center of healing
  • How learning your design can help you advocate for yourself more confidently with healthcare providers

Key Takeaways:

  • Your body isn’t broken—it’s communicating
  • Healing becomes lighter when you stop forcing yourself into systems that weren’t designed for you
  • There is no one-size-fits-all approach to PCOS, stress regulation, or sustainable change
  • Self-trust is a skill you can rebuild, and Human Design can be one doorway into that process

]]> #61 You're Not the Problem: Human Design, Stress, and PCOS with Julieta Duvall (Part 2) Julieta Duvall 00:29:19 In this deeply validating and expansive conversation, Lindsie sits down with Julieta Duvall for part 2 of their conversation to explore how Human Design can become a powerful companion on the PCOS healing journey—not as another set of rules to follow, but as a language for self-trust. Together, they unpack how many women with PCOS aren’t just fighting hormones, but years of conditioning, diet culture, hustle culture, and the pressure to override their bodies in order to “get it right.” Julieta shares how Human Design helped her reconnect with her body’s signals around food, rest, decision-making, relationships, and parenting, and why learning to honor your unique design can reduce stress, burnout, and nervous system dysregulation. This episode invites you to stop forcing yourself into someone else’s framework and start listening to what your body has been communicating all along. You’ll hear practical examples of how understanding your type, strategy, authority, environment, and profile can support sustainable healing, clearer boundaries, and more confident self-advocacy—both in daily life and in healthcare settings. If you’ve ever wondered why the “right plan” never seems to work for you, this conversation offers a gentler, more empowering way forward.

Together, they unpack how many women with PCOS aren’t just fighting hormones, but years of conditioning, diet culture, hustle culture, and the pressure to override their bodies in order to “get it right.” Julieta shares how Human Design helped her reconnect with her body’s signals around food, rest, decision-making, relationships, and parenting, and why learning to honor your unique design can reduce stress, burnout, and nervous system dysregulation. This episode invites you to stop forcing yourself into someone else’s framework and start listening to what your body has been communicating all along. You’ll hear practical examples of how understanding your type, strategy, authority, environment, and profile can support sustainable healing, clearer boundaries, and more confident self-advocacy—both in daily life and in healthcare settings.

]]> #60 You’re Not the Problem: Human Design, Stress, and PCOS With Julieta Duvall (Part 1) Julieta Duvall 00:35:24 In this episode of PCOS Unfiltered: Nourish, Heal, Thrive, we explore how healing doesn’t have to feel so hard. Host Lindsie is joined by Julieta Duvall, a soulful rebel and human design guide, for a deep, grounding conversation about stress, conditioning, and self-trust—especially for women navigating PCOS. Together, they unpack how human design offers a new language for understanding your body, energy, and decision-making without forcing yourself into systems that were never designed for you. From hustle culture and people-pleasing to nervous system overload and chronic burnout, this episode reframes healing as an experiment in alignment rather than another rigid plan to follow. Julieta explains the foundations of human design—type, strategy, and authority—and how these can help you recognize when you’re in alignment versus when you’re living in frustration, resentment, or exhaustion. The conversation weaves together stress physiology, emotional storage in the body, relationships, parenting, sleep, movement, and why what works for one woman with PCOS may not work for another. This episode is an invitation to stop fighting your body, start listening, and get curious about what healing could feel like when you work with your natural design instead of against it.

Rather than focusing on fixing, controlling, or overriding the body, this episode explores what becomes possible when we rebuild trust, release limiting beliefs, and learn to listen without fear.

She reads a powerful passage from the book, reflects on the emotional weight many women carry after diagnosis, and explains why resolutions and all-or-nothing thinking often fail women with PCOS. The episode also introduces the upcoming Anti-Resolution Revolution, a collaborative event designed to help women step off the cycle of starting over and instead rewrite the rules of health—without shame, extremes, or pressure.

]]> #57 The Hidden Reason Hormone Healing Feels So Hard With Tori Sorrell-Cook (Part 2) Tori Sorrell-Cook 00:25:54 In this episode of PCOS Unfiltered: Nourish, Heal, Thrive, Lindsie sits down with endocrine health specialist and international homeopath Tori Sorrell-Cook for part 2 of this powerful conversation about choice, possibility, and what healing can actually look like when we stop fighting the body and start listening to it. Tori shares how years of being told that symptoms are “chronic” and something women must simply live with can quietly strip away hope — and why that narrative isn’t always true. Drawing from her own journey with endometriosis and her clinical work with women experiencing hormonal chaos, she explains how symptoms can be learned, imprinted, and, in many cases, gently unlearned. Together, they explore the concept of hormonal imprints created by stress, medications, contraception, antibiotics, environmental toxins, and emotional trauma — and how these imprints can override the body’s natural signaling. Tori introduces Homeopathic Detox Therapy (HDT) as a way of helping the body safely reverse suppressed patterns rather than simply masking symptoms. This conversation dives deep into the body’s innate intelligence, the hierarchy of symptoms, the gut–hormone connection, and why true healing often requires patience, mindset readiness, and creating a sense of safety within the nervous system. Above all, this episode is a reminder that even when you’ve been told “this is your lot,” there may still be another path forward.

]]> #56 The Hidden Reason Hormone Healing Feels So Hard With Tori Sorrell-Cook (Part 1) Tori Sorrell-Cook 00:18:58 In this episode of PCOS Unfiltered: Nourish, Heal, Thrive, Lindsie sits down with Tori Sorrell-Cook, an endocrine health specialist and international homeopath, to explore why so many women continue to struggle with hormonal symptoms even when their labs come back “normal.” Tori shares her personal journey from an endometriosis diagnosis to becoming symptom-free, and how that path led her to a deeper understanding of hormonal imprints left behind by contraception, IVF medications, viruses, environmental toxins, and stress. Together, they unpack how the body doesn’t just manage symptoms—it can unlearn them—when given the right signals and support. This conversation dives into the often-overlooked disruptions between the brain and ovaries, the long-term impact of the pill and other endocrine-disrupting medications, and how Homeopathic Detox Therapy (HDT) works as a gentle yet powerful way to help the body release what it’s been holding onto. If you’ve ever felt dismissed, misdiagnosed, or stuck managing symptoms instead of healing, this episode will expand how you think about hormones and what’s truly possible for your health.

Natanya shares her journey from burnout as a classroom teacher to creating a purpose-driven business rooted in community, ceremony, and deep inner work. Together, they explore how retreat spaces, conscious ritual, silence, and intentional nourishment help women step out of survival mode and reconnect with their inner wisdom. Natanya opens up about the discomfort many people feel when they stop caretaking, unplug from constant stimulation, and finally allow themselves to receive. The conversation weaves beautifully into themes that resonate deeply for women with PCOS—self-abandonment, over-giving, fragmented energy, and the challenge of staying committed to personal healing and growth. Natanya emphasizes that true transformation isn’t about a single decision, but about recommitting again and again to what you said you wanted, even when fear or old patterns arise. This episode is an invitation to slow down, honor yourself as worthy of care and support, and trust that following your soul—whether in healing, business, or life—can lead to profound expansion, freedom, and fulfillment.

    In This Episode:

    • Beth’s powerful story of surviving trauma and finding emotional freedom through EFT
    • Why talk therapy alone doesn’t reach the subconscious layers that drive behavior
    • How trauma and emotion are stored in the body—and what that means for long-term health
    • The difference between “big T” and “little t” traumas and why both matter
    • Practical ways to release stress: tapping, finger holds, humming, and visualization
    • The science behind EFT and its effects on cortisol, gene expression, and emotional regulation
    • What biofield tuning is and how it can uncover emotional imprints in your energy field
    • How trauma reshaped Beth’s identity and inspired her purpose to help others heal
    • Encouragement to “try one more thing” when conventional approaches fall short

    Takeaway Message:
    Healing doesn’t always happen through logic or willpower—it begins when we reconnect with the body’s wisdom. Whether through EFT, biofield tuning, or mindful breath work, somatic practices can open the door to real transformation.

    In This Episode:

    • Beth’s powerful story of surviving trauma and finding emotional freedom through EFT
    • Why talk therapy alone doesn’t reach the subconscious layers that drive behavior
    • How trauma and emotion are stored in the body—and what that means for long-term health
    • The difference between “big T” and “little t” traumas and why both matter
    • Practical ways to release stress: tapping, finger holds, humming, and visualization
    • The science behind EFT and its effects on cortisol, gene expression, and emotional regulation
    • What biofield tuning is and how it can uncover emotional imprints in your energy field
    • How trauma reshaped Beth’s identity and inspired her purpose to help others heal
    • Encouragement to “try one more thing” when conventional approaches fall short

    Takeaway Message:
    Healing doesn’t always happen through logic or willpower—it begins when we reconnect with the body’s wisdom. Whether through EFT, biofield tuning, or mindful breath work, somatic practices can open the door to real transformation.

    In This Episode:

    [0:00] How mindfulness and breathwork create lasting calm — and why Navy SEALs use these same tools.

    [2:45] The science of meditation, hypnosis, and the “nerd report” Page built to track real brain changes.

    [5:20] Why external healing tools (massage, supplements, etc.) only work if your mind is calm and present.

    [8:00] Lindsie and Page on sustainable healing: learning to make wellness a way of life, not a quick fix.

    [10:30] The healer’s dilemma — caring for others while forgetting to care for yourself.

    [11:45] Page reveals Renewal Studios Roanoke — transforming an old church into a sanctuary for healing.

    [14:10] The story of Sam: how anxiety-driven pain and hormonal imbalance were transformed through mind-body work.

    [18:30] The science of rewiring pain — how your brain can literally reshape itself in as little as 66 days.

    [20:00] Lindsie’s closing reflection: healing begins with awareness, curiosity, and compassion toward your own body.

    Key Takeaways

    Your brain is not static — it’s constantly rewiring based on your thoughts, breath, and awareness.

    Mindful breathing isn’t just for yogis; it’s a proven nervous system reset used by elite professionals.

    Healing requires integration — combining body-based practices with science-backed understanding.

    You can’t pour from an empty cup: self-care isn’t selfish; it’s essential.

    True healing is sustainable, not seasonal — it becomes who you are, not what you do for a few weeks.

Together they unpack what it means to move from a reactive model of “symptom management” to a proactive, root-cause approach to healing hormonal and thyroid imbalances. Kirstyn shares her journey from conventional nursing to integrative coaching after battling hypothyroidism and chronic fatigue herself. She explains how she combined evidence-based medicine with functional lifestyle medicine—addressing nutrition, stress, sleep, and mindset—to help women truly restore balance. Listeners will learn the difference between controlling the body and connecting with it, why rest is essential fuel, and how perfectionism and over-restriction can stall healing. The two nurses also explore the power of community, self-advocacy in healthcare, and how intuition can coexist beautifully with science. Whether you’re a practitioner ready to blend holistic tools into your work or a woman simply ready to heal beyond “normal” labs, this conversation is a masterclass in compassionate, sustainable transformation.

    • The turning point that pushed Kirstyn toward holistic healing
    Waking up at 25 feeling like she had the flu every day—aching joints, exhaustion, weight gain, and frustration with “calories in, calories out.”

    • How nurses are uniquely equipped for integrative health
    The blend of science literacy, holistic assessment skills, empathy, and understanding of pathophysiology.

    • Nutrition as the foundation (not restriction)
    How Kirstyn shifted from “what do I cut out?” to “what does my thyroid need to function optimally?”

    • The Body Harmony Protocol framework

    Nourishing first (nutrients, inflammation reduction, thyroid-supportive foods)

    Nervous system regulation

    Gentle movement & reintroducing exercise slowly

    Layering in labs, detox, and deeper protocols once the foundation is solid

    • The underestimated impact of stress and sleep
    Why healing can’t happen in a body stuck in fight-or-flight—and why cortisol regulation is critical for thyroid and hormone health.

    • Movement as emotional and mental therapy
    How walking, cycling, yoga, and low-impact strength training can rebuild trust and connection with your body.

    • How to know when you’re truly healing vs. just managing symptoms
    — Labs trending toward optimal ranges
    — Better digestion, cycles, energy, mood
    — Feeling like yourself again, connected and embodied

Kirstyn shares her powerful story of gaining 80 pounds, struggling with chronic fatigue, losing her period, and being dismissed with oversimplified advice—until she finally decided to take healing into her own hands. Through the addition of nutrients, nervous system regulation, stress management, gentle movement, and a Mediterranean-based approach to nourishment, she reversed her hypothyroidism symptoms, lost 100 pounds, restored her period, and reclaimed her energy and identity.

    • What thin PCOS is and why it’s often overlooked
    • How stress and cortisol drive insulin resistance—even without sugar

    ]]>     #45 When Weight Isn't the Problem, and What Really Is - With Allison Cale (Part 2) Allison Cale 00:27:07 In part two of this episode with Allison Cale, founder of The Confidence Clinic, they discuss a lesser-known but equally real side of PCOS—thin PCOS. While the common narrative links PCOS with weight struggles, Allison explains how lean women can experience the same hormonal chaos—irregular cycles, fatigue, anxiety, and insulin resistance—despite not fitting the “typical” profile. Together, they unpack the hidden hormonal dynamics that make PCOS so complex, including how cortisol, estrogen, progesterone, and testosterone interact to create a domino effect of symptoms. Allison shares her clinical insight on why stress, lack of sleep, under-eating, and overtraining all worsen insulin resistance—and how women can begin to break the cycle with small, sustainable changes. The conversation also explores the emotional and mental toll of being dismissed by healthcare providers simply because a woman “looks healthy.” Both Lindsie and Allison encourage listeners to advocate for themselves, track symptoms, and seek out practitioners who take the time to dig deeper into root causes rather than masking symptoms.

This episode is a must-listen for any woman who has ever felt unseen or unheard in her PCOS journey. blood sugar and hormones, health coach, pcos, lean pcos, functional medicine, healing, nutrition coach, hormone health, thin pcos false full 45     e11e7afe-02c4-4b63-9296-6cf47027292b #44 When Weight Isn't the Problem, and What Really Is - With Allison Cale (Part 1) 💡 In This Episode:

    • The emergence of “lean PCOS” in updated diagnostic criteria

    • The connection between insulin, testosterone, and symptoms like facial hair, fatigue, and infertility
    • Myths about carbs, keto, and the “permanent” label of insulin resistance
    • Why stress, sleep, and inflammation may be the missing pieces in your healing

    🧬 Key Takeaways:

    • You don’t have to be overweight to struggle with PCOS or insulin resistance.
    • Labs can look “normal” even when your body is struggling—functional testing goes deeper.

Together, they unpack how insulin resistance can quietly affect women who appear “healthy” on the outside and why new research is redefining PCOS beyond weight alone. Allison breaks down the evolving diagnostic criteria for PCOS, the myths surrounding insulin resistance, and the hidden signs many women miss—like fatigue, brain fog, and disrupted sleep. She also shares what functional labs can reveal long before symptoms escalate, and how lifestyle, stress, and nutrition play pivotal roles in restoring hormone balance. If you’ve ever been told “your labs look fine” or felt dismissed because you don’t fit the typical PCOS mold, this episode will help you understand what’s really going on beneath the surface—and how to start advocating for your own healing journey.

This episode dives deep into exercise as medicine, tackling common myths about women and weight training, and helping listeners reframe fitness as a form of self-respect, not punishment. Whether you’re just getting started or looking to elevate your training, this conversation will help you embrace movement that truly nourishes your body and fuels your long-term healing. health, health coach, pcos, pcos coach, movement, personal trainer, nutrition, nutrition coach, exercise false full 41     8c00ba59-be6d-412a-87cd-1ba5940b2cd2 It's Common, Not Normal, with Samantha Beckton (Part 3) In this episode, we discuss:
    • Your lymphatic system = the body’s cleanup crew. When it’s stagnant or overloaded, swelling, inflammation, and hormone dysregulation can follow.
    • Manual lymphatic drainage (MLD) is skin-deep, not deep tissue. Think gentle, rhythmic skin stretch to open lymph “doors”—not pressing into muscles.
    • Start proximal → move distal. “Unpark the cars from the front”: open lymph node beds first, then move fluid toward them.
    • Breath = lymph pump. Diaphragmatic (belly) breathing stimulates the cisterna chyli and supports lymph flow + parasympathetic tone.
    • Movement matters. Use ankle pumps and calf contractions; a rebounder isn’t magic if you just bounce passively.
    • Less is more with tools. Overzealous dry brushing can inflame tissue; many “lymph massages” are not true MLD.
    • Self-advocacy is health care. If you feel dismissed, keep seeking practitioners who’ve walked the path and can collaborate with you.

    Practical “Try This” List

    • 2 minutes of belly breathing (hand on belly, slow inhale/exhale) morning & evening.
    • Gentle self-MLD sequence (Be sure to check out Samantha’s YouTube for details to do it properly): open neck/axilla/groin nodes → short, light skin stretches toward node beds.
    • Ankle pumps + calf squeezes during desk time to support venous/lymph return.
    • Hydrate first (start with water; crowd out soda).
    • Daily choices audit: food quality, sleep routine, and simple movement—pick one area this week and build from there.

    ✨ Show Notes & Key Takeaways:

    • Understanding SIBO & SIFO:
      What they are, how they develop, and why they’re so often missed in conventional medicine.
    • Testing vs. Guessing:
      Courtney breaks down the difference between hospital tests, lactulose breath tests, and functional stool tests like the GI Map — and how to interpret them.
    • Root Causes & Chronic Recurrence:
      Why two-thirds of SIBO cases come back, and the importance of addressing low stomach acid, meal hygiene, stress, and underlying pathogens.
    • Healing Through Food:
      The two biggest inflammatory foods to remove (wheat and dairy), what to eat instead, and how to begin reintroducing foods mindfully.
    • The Holistic Approach:
      Courtney’s client success story that proves healing takes time — but is absolutely possible.
    • Skin as a Mirror:
      How brighter, clearer skin often signals internal healing and hormonal balance.
    • Myths & Misconceptions:
      You don’t need gut symptoms to have SIBO or SIFO — signs like restless legs, iron deficiency, or fatigue can all point to gut imbalance.
    • Can You Truly Heal?
      The answer is yes — but healing may require layered work, lifestyle changes, and long-term digestive support.

    🧘‍♀️ Episode Quote:

    “It doesn’t matter how many nutrients you take in if your body can’t absorb them. Healing your gut is the gateway to hormonal balance.”

From SIBO (Small Intestinal Bacterial Overgrowth) and SIFO (Small Intestinal Fungal Overgrowth) to how these hidden infections can fuel inflammation, cravings, bloating, fatigue, and even irregular cycles, this conversation breaks down the complex science in a way that finally makes sense. Courtney shares what testing really reveals (and why your doctor’s “normal” results might be missing the mark), how to approach healing with food and functional testing, and why two foods — wheat and dairy — may be standing between you and relief. Together, we highlight the mind-body connection in healing, reminding listeners that true transformation happens when you combine gut repair, mindful eating, and nervous system regulation.

From her own story of chronic gut pain and frustration with conventional medicine to her discovery of SIBO (Small Intestinal Bacterial Overgrowth) and SIFO (Small Intestinal Fungal Overgrowth), Courtney shares how gut dysfunction can quietly drive bloating, fatigue, cravings, irregular cycles, and inflammation. Together, Courtney and I break down what SIBO and SIFO actually are, how they form, and why they’re so common among women with hormonal imbalances. We connect the dots between gut health, bile quality, nutrient absorption, inflammation, and emotional stress—revealing why healing the gut often unlocks hormonal balance and renewed energy. The conversation also dives deep into the emotional side of healing, from the impact of chronic stress to subconscious beliefs and generational patterns that can influence the body’s ability to thrive. If you’ve ever felt like you’re doing everything right but still feel bloated, tired, or “off,” this episode will give you both hope and direction. You’ll walk away understanding how the gut is not just a digestion center—but the control hub for your metabolism, hormones, and long-term healing.

    • What qualifies as ultra-processed food and how it hijacks hormones and hunger signals
    • How convenience extends beyond food to movement, sleep, and stress
    • Lessons from European food culture: slowing down, smaller portions, and real ingredients
    • Functional convenience: easy ways to batch-cook, shop smarter, and simplify nourishment
    • The link between processed foods, hormone imbalances, and autoimmune conditions
    • How one small change can break the cycle of depletion and begin true healing

    Key Quote: “Convenience isn’t free—it comes at the cost of our health, energy, and hormones.”

    ]]>     Convenience Is Killing You: Reclaiming Real Nourishment in a Processed World with Dr. Anya Szigeti Dr. Anya Szigeti 00:35:54 In this eye-opening episode of PCOS Unfiltered, I welcome back functional medicine practitioner and author Dr. Anya Szigeti to discuss her upcoming book "Convenience Is Killing You." Together, we expose how “modern convenience” has quietly reshaped women’s health—from ultra-processed foods to sedentary living and chronic stress—and what we can do to reverse it. Dr. Anya shares her personal journey from following all the “healthy” diet rules that led to autoimmune illness, to redefining convenience through small, functional, real-life habits that heal. We explore the ripple effect of women reclaiming their nourishment, the wisdom of their grandmothers’ kitchens, and lessons from European lifestyles where food is still a ritual, not a race. You will walk away inspired to make simple, doable shifts—like cooking one real meal a week, reclaiming movement, and creating true nourishment for body, mind, and hormones—without guilt or perfectionism.

Lindsie opens up about ER burnout, owning a kickboxing gym through COVID, the “whisper-then-scream” symptoms that led to autoimmune diagnoses and how going gluten- and dairy-free, rebuilding her relationship with food, and prioritizing rest and digest changed everything. You’ll hear why “food first” isn’t restriction—it’s restoration—why movement is medicine for the mind, and how to advocate for yourself when the conventional system shrugs. If you’ve ever felt dismissed, stuck, or scared by a label, this conversation is your permission slip to rewrite the story.

    ]]>     Invisible Doesn’t Mean Imaginary: PCOS, Fibromyalgia, and the Fight to Be Seen with Tami Stackelhouse (Part 1) Tami Stackelhouse 00:28:27 What do PCOS and fibromyalgia have in common? More than you think. In this powerful episode, I sit down with fibromyalgia coach and advocate Tami Stackelhouse—host of the Fibromyalgia Podcast and executive producer of the award-winning documentary Invisible—to explore what happens when medicine stops asking questions and women start advocating for themselves. Tami shares her personal journey from daily migraines and dismissal by doctors to becoming a health coach who helps others reclaim their vitality. Her and I dig into the shocking overlap between PCOS and fibromyalgia, the shared experience of being unheard and misdiagnosed, and how shifting your mindset from “management” to empowerment can change everything. We also unpack how your personality style affects your healing journey—and why your brain, your habits, and even your inner saboteurs might be keeping you stuck. If you’ve ever felt like your body was the enemy, this episode is your invitation to shift that belief and become your body’s fiercest advocate. What do PCOS and fibromyalgia have in common?

    • Why insulin resistance is central — not just secondary — to PCOS symptoms
    • What the 2023 Journal of Ovarian Research review reveals about insulin's impact on:
    • The liver (glucose metabolism + fat production)
    • Adipose (fat) tissue (hormone disruption + inflammation)
    • The ovaries (androgen production + ovulation)
    • How to understand insulin resistance beyond traditional glucose and A1c testing
    • Why fasting insulin is your early warning system — and how to ask for it

    Two key treatment pathways:

    • 🌱 Lifestyle interventions (nutrition, mindful movement, strategic “add-ins”)
    • 💊 Pharmaceutical support (metformin, GLP-1s, and when they can help)
    • How combining both strategies can significantly reduce PCOS symptoms and risks

    ]]>     Liver, Fat, Ovaries... and Insulin. It's All Connected. Lindsie Vizethann 00:12:47 In this science-backed episode of PCOS Unfiltered, we’re pulling back the curtain on one of the most misunderstood, under-diagnosed, and under-discussed root causes of PCOS: insulin resistance. (yes, again) Inspired by a 2023 review in the Journal of Ovarian Research, I break down how insulin resistance doesn’t just impact your blood sugar — it affects your liver, fat tissue, and ovaries, amplifying hormone imbalances and metabolic dysfunction. Whether you are told everything is “normal” or you’re navigating symptoms like irregular cycles, acne, or hair growth, this episode will help you understand what’s happening under the surface — and how to catch it early before it leads to long-term complications. You’ll learn why fasting insulin matters more than A1c, what the latest research says about treatment options (including lifestyle changes and medications like metformin and GLP-1s), and how to reclaim your health with real strategies that go beyond the fads.

    ]]>     From City Balcony to Backyard Bliss: Advice on Homesteading Anywhere for Better Health with Special Guest, Amanda Wolter Lindsie Vizethann 00:29:44 In this special episode of PCOS Unfiltered: Nourish, Heal, Thrive, I invited my sister-in-law, Amanda—homesteader, mother, and teacher—to share her family’s powerful journey from apartment balcony gardening to living off the land on their 15-acre Michigan homestead. Amanda breaks down how homesteading started with a desire for better-tasting food, not a health crisis—and yet, their new lifestyle transformed everything. From fresh eggs and raw goat milk to butter churning and potato harvesting, Amanda details how their nutrient-dense, self-sufficient way of living has improved digestion, supported fertility, balanced hormones, and cultivated mental well-being. Even better? You don’t need land or livestock to get started. Amanda offers practical, accessible steps you can take—no matter where you live—to start homesteading in a way that supports your health, hormones, and PCOS symptoms.

    • What feng shui really is (art + science of harmonizing people and place) and what it isn’t (not a religion, and no mandatory red door).
    • How your space mirrors your inner world—and how imbalance in a room can amplify stress, decision fatigue, and scattered energy.
    • Why bedroom and kitchen are your top feng shui priorities for healing (sleep + nourishment).
    • The clutter–stress loop and how to break it with small, confidence-building wins.
    • Bedroom do’s & don’ts for better sleep and calmer hormones (command position, close ensuite/closet doors at night, thoughtful under-bed storage).
    • Kitchen cues for mindful eating and steadier blood sugar (clear counters, create a dedicated eating area, reconsider visible knife blocks).
    • How intention + symbolism shape your daily behavior (artwork, colors, and where you place workout gear matters).
    • Practical tweaks for small spaces, home offices, nurseries, and kids’ rooms.

    Quick Start Checklist

    • Pick one room: bedroom or kitchen.
    • Remove obvious clutter (one drawer, one counter, one pile).
    • Bedroom reset: face the bed so you can see the door, close bathroom/closet doors at night, keep under-bed items soft (linens/clothes only).
    • Kitchen reset: clear the table for meals, add placemats/napkins to cue mindful eating, move knives into a drawer organizer.
    • Entryway scan: make your first view calming—not a pile.
    • Set an intention for the space (e.g., “This room restores me,” or “This kitchen supports simple, balanced meals.”)

    Highlights & Takeaways

    • “Clutter is the enemy of your serenity.” Start micro; momentum follows.
    • Your center of home relates to health—keep it as open and harmonious as possible.
    • Energy drains matter: close ensuite doors at night; avoid electronics near children’s beds.
    • Symbolism is powerful: choose art and objects that reflect healing, strength, and ease.

    • Grace’s journey from nurse → patient → coach and how she reversed her own insulin resistance.
    • The first steps she took: food label awareness, budget shifts toward fresh foods, and removing carbs from breakfast.
    • Why vegetable variety and cruciferous foods matter — and how to ease in without overwhelming your digestion.
    • The role of strength, mobility, and cardio in improving insulin sensitivity (and why enjoyment matters most).
    • How sleep deprivation, night shifts, and stress hormones keep insulin high and cravings strong.
    • Why frequent nighttime bathroom trips may be an overlooked sign of insulin issues.

    The connection between PCOS and type 2 diabetes, and why the risk is 4–7x higher.

    • A thoughtful look at metformin: when it helps, when it masks, and why lifestyle changes remain essential.
    • Simple, doable tools like 1 minute of daily breathwork to calm stress and lower insulin.
    • Mindset shifts: moving from perfectionism to progress, budgeting for your own health, and embracing the truth that “I’m worth it.”
    • Grace’s definition of true health: not lab numbers, but resilience, recovery, and being the active steward of your own body.

    Practical tips to try today:

    • Swap your carb-heavy breakfast for protein + healthy fats.
    • Add one new veggie to your weekly rotation.
    • Insert “movement snacks” between work sessions.
    • Practice 1 minute of deep breathing (box, 4-7-8, or simple slow inhales/exhales).
    • Celebrate small wins instead of chasing perfection.

Nurse and nutrition coach Grace Yun knows firsthand. After realizing her own blood sugar was out of control, Grace went from caring for patients to becoming her own patient — and ultimately, her own healer. In part of this empowering conversation, Grace shares the nutrition, movement, sleep, and stress strategies that helped her naturally reverse her symptoms. We dive deep into why blood sugar balance is at the root of PCOS and hormone health, how small shifts like breakfast swaps and breathing practices can make a huge difference, and the mindset changes that move you from “all or nothing” to consistent progress. Whether you’ve been diagnosed with PCOS, suspect insulin resistance, or simply want to reclaim your long-term health, this episode will help you see that real change is possible — and that you’re worth the effort.

    ]]>     Hormonal Chaos: What Happens When Your Hormones Go Rogue Lindsie Vizethann 00:08:16 In this powerful second episode of a three-part series, I pull back the curtain on what happens when all the hormonal guests at the dinner party go rogue. From irregular periods and stubborn weight to skin struggles, mood swings, and chronic fatigue—I unpack how seemingly “random” symptoms are often connected and rooted in deeper hormonal imbalances. Using PCOS as a roadmap, I'll explain how insulin resistance, high cortisol, low progesterone, and estrogen dominance work together to disrupt your body’s natural balance. I'll also shine a light on why so many women feel dismissed or misdiagnosed in the conventional medical system, and why healing often starts with education and advocacy. If you've ever been told “everything looks normal” but you feel anything but, this episode is for you.

If you’ve ever said, “I feel broken, like nothing works for me anymore,” this episode is your first step toward understanding that you're not broken—you're biologically out of sync. I introduce the key hormones like estrogen, progesterone, testosterone, insulin, cortisol, and thyroid hormones through a relatable dinner party analogy that makes these complex processes feel simple, even empowering. You’ll also learn the differences between the three types of estrogen—estradiol, estrone, and estriol—and how these can shift with PCOS, insulin resistance, or different stages of life.

    ]]>     Rewriting Her Story: Sam's Inspiring Transformation From Survivor to Health Advocate Lindsie Vizethann 00:38:40 What happens when life hands you a diagnosis you never expected? In this powerful episode of PCOS Unfiltered, I sit down with Sam, a former coaching client who, at just 29, suffered a stroke and faced the reality of living with multiple health issues and medications. But instead of accepting that as her permanent future, Sam chose something different: she chose to fight for herself. Sam shares how she went from struggling with stroke recovery, heart surgery, and overwhelming medications to reclaiming her health through mindful eating, nervous system regulation, and a compassionate, realistic coaching approach. Though she doesn’t have PCOS, Sam’s story resonates with anyone who’s ever wondered if change is still possible after a scary diagnosis. From losing 60 pounds to reversing years of unhealthy habits and becoming an advocate for wellness in her community, Sam’s journey is living proof: it’s never too late to take back your health — or your life.

    • Test, don’t guess. Over-supplementing without lab work can worsen imbalances.
    • Probiotic pitfalls. The most common OTC strains are cheap to mass-produce — and the same ones that often show up as overgrowths on stool tests.
    • Food > pills for beginners. Whole-food ferments like sauerkraut let your body “pick and choose” the microbes it needs.
    • Healing isn’t a straight line. Rest, patience, and celebrating tiny wins are part of the journey.
    • Symptom ≠ nuisance. Each ache, rash, or energy dip is a data point pointing toward an underlying imbalance.
    • Self-advocacy matters. If your labs come back “normal” but you feel awful, push for deeper testing or find a provider who will.
    • Mind-body link. Habits, emotional ties to food, and stress all influence gut resilience and hormonal harmony.
    • You hold the power. Your gut is a command center; learning its language puts you back in the driver’s seat.

    • Test, don’t guess. Over-supplementing without lab work can worsen imbalances.
    • Probiotic pitfalls. The most common OTC strains are cheap to mass-produce — and the same ones that often show up as overgrowths on stool tests.

    ]]>     You Can’t Out-Supplement a Bad Diet (or a Burned-Out Gut) Lindsie Vizethann 00:19:59 In the last part of this 3-part empowering conversation with Dr. Anya Szigeti, DC, DABCI, a chiropractic internist and functional-medicine nutrition expert, we unpack the often-overlooked link between gut health and hormone balance in PCOS. Together we debunk trendy parasite cleanses, probiotic fads, and “quick-fix” supplement stacks, while spotlighting the real keys to long-term healing: testing before guessing, tuning into your body’s signals, and giving yourself permission to rest. Dr. Anya shares her own Hashimoto’s wake-up call, explains why symptoms are “secret messages” (not annoyances to silence), and leaves you with the reminder that you have far more power over your health than you’ve been led to believe.

    • Why functional medicine asks why instead of what pill to take
    • How trauma and chronic stress dysregulate your gut and hormones
    • The HPA axis, cortisol, and the PCOS connection
    • Why gut dysbiosis and food sensitivities matter in PCOS
    • How inflammation opens the door to autoimmune conditions
    • Simple but powerful nutrition shifts to start healing the gut
    • The truth about traditional dieting and why it's harming your hormones
    • Lifestyle habits that support digestion, hormone balance, and stress relief
    • Real client case study: From cystic acne and fatigue to regular cycles and glowing skin
    • How to use a food timeline journal (even without testing!) to uncover triggers

    Key Takeaways:

    • Healing PCOS means addressing root causes—not just symptoms.
    • Gut health is central to hormone health, immune resilience, and mood.
    • You don’t have to eat perfectly—just intentionally.
    • Functional medicine is not about restriction; it’s about nourishment.
    • Your body is smart—and once it gets what it needs, it naturally craves better.
    • A food journal can be one of your most powerful healing tools.

Each week, join me for unfiltered solo episodes, as well as candid conversations with experts, fellow coaches, and women just like you. Hit FOLLOW and let’s Nourish. Heal. Thrive. 🩷 false trailer     cac4f20c-3510-4ed7-96e1-7ed7cf94b71b What’s Hiding in Your Deodorant? The Hormone Disruptor You Use Daily I’ll walk you through:

    • Why your armpits matter in your hormone healing journey
    • What happens when you block your sweat glands
    • The connection between deodorant, your lymphatic system, and PCOS
    • My own story of ditching prescription-strength antiperspirant (yes, it was gross at first)
    • How to switch to natural—or go completely deodorant free—and thrive
    • This isn’t just about hygiene. It’s about detox, trust, and working with your body—not against it.

    An armpit detox using clay, like bentonite clay, is a popular method to help with the transition from antiperspirant to natural deodorant. You can mix 1 tablespoon of the clay with 1 tablespoon of apple cider vinegar along with 1-2 tablespoons of water or coconut oil to make a paste using a glass or wooden spoon and bowl. Do not use metal as it can interfere with the beneficial properties of the clay.  Spread over the armpits and wait for 5-20 minutes.  Wash with warm water, preferably in the shower.  A few things to note, while some may find this mask soothing and helpful in pulling out impurities and reducing odor and sweating during the transition, others may not find any benefit at all.  Also be sure to test a small area first as the apple cider vinegar can cause skin irritation in some people.  Remember that ultimately the liver, gut, and kidneys are what truly need to be supported during the detox process, not just the skin.  

    My favorite clean deodorant is Beautycounter, now counter.com

    Or go to ewg.org and search deodorant for even more options for clean deodorants.

    In this episode, I break down:

    • Why fasting insulin isn't typically tested by doctors
    • How outdated guidelines, lack of training, and insurance coverage are holding women back
    • The difference between "normal" and optimal lab values
    • How to advocate for yourself when traditional healthcare falls short
    • Where you can get your own labs—even without a doctor
    • Signs and symptoms to track if you suspect insulin resistance

    💡 Takeaways:

    • Fasting insulin levels above 10 may be a red flag—optimal is under 7
    • Glucose and A1C might look “normal” even when insulin resistance is present
    • Direct-to-consumer labs and functional medicine providers can be powerful tools

    ]]>     Tue, 3 Jun 2025 19:00:00 +0000 nurselindsie@gmail.com (Lindsie Vizethann) https://pcos-unfiltered-nourish-heal-thrive.simplecast.com/episodes/why-doctors-miss-insulin-resistance-the-hidden-pcos-roadblock-VNzxoeYz Welcome to the final part of our insulin resistance series!

    In this episode, I break down:

    • Why fasting insulin isn't typically tested by doctors
    • How outdated guidelines, lack of training, and insurance coverage are holding women back
    • The difference between "normal" and optimal lab values
    • How to advocate for yourself when traditional healthcare falls short
    • Where you can get your own labs—even without a doctor
    • Signs and symptoms to track if you suspect insulin resistance

    💡 Takeaways:

    • Fasting insulin levels above 10 may be a red flag—optimal is under 7
    • Glucose and A1C might look “normal” even when insulin resistance is present
    • Direct-to-consumer labs and functional medicine providers can be powerful tools

    ✨ If you’ve ever been told “everything looks fine,” but you feel something is off—this episode is your permission slip to dig deeper.  Download the Food Timeline Tracker here!
