https://simplecast.com Embracing Flow Imagine celebrating Christmas with a newborn, a 9 year old, and your 39 year old husband passing away suddenly in your bedroom. On the outside, I looked calm and collected, yet internally, I was numb and actually telling myself to breathe, any thought beyond the inhale/exhale pattern was too overwhelming. Not only was I dealing with the passing of my husband and life with a newborn, my corporate life changed too when a new management team was assigned. As I pulled the broken pieces back together, realization hit, I needed a new start; I’d outgrown the corporate world, it was time to share my love of the products I’d been using, but sales felt gross to me. So, I went back to school, earning three health coaching certifications. In the process, I saw how little we know and talk about the menstrual cycle. We don’t know how it works or how it interacts with every single system in our body. The taboo of menstruation had to stop! Flashbacks of my grandmother giving me the period talk, the absolute hatred of my painful, heavy, nauseating, passing out periods, to the embarrassing nurse’s office trip with bled through dark pants and being handed WHITE sweatpants! I remember the shock and excitement of my first pregnancy, the frustrating 14 months of secondary infertility plus gestational diabetes with my second child, treatment of cervical dysplasia, and my own cycle syncing journey which has allowed me to appreciate and enjoy my period. Imagine embracing your period every single month? I wondered how much of this could have been avoided? I knew I wasn’t alone in these experiences. That’s why I created Vivydus, the Full of Life Company whose vision is to change how menstruation is viewed by society and the mission to provide an educational, holistic, safe space for all individuals to learn and discuss the menstrual cycle from puberty through menopause. Join me on this journey as we learn, break the taboo, and openly discuss how we can authentically and uncompromisingly be full of life.

But what if they’re not?

In this episode of the Embracing Flow podcast, Heather Allmendinger sits down with functional medicine physician Dr. Jeffrey Brown to explore a different conversation around women’s health, hormones, and chronic cycle pain.

Many women silently struggle with symptoms such as debilitating cramps, heavy bleeding, PMS, brain fog, mood swings, and fatigue. Too often, the only solutions offered are birth control, antidepressants, or surgery. But what if there are deeper root causes that deserve attention?

Dr. Brown shares insights from more than 15 years of experience working in functional and regenerative medicine, helping women understand how inflammation, hormone balance, gut health, and lifestyle factors can influence menstrual health.

In this conversation, we discuss:

• Why painful periods are frequently normalized in modern healthcare
• The difference between progesterone and progestin
• What endometriosis and adenomyosis are and why they can be so debilitating
• How stress, inflammation, and gut health influence hormone balance
• The surprising role testosterone plays in women’s health
• Why strength training and lifestyle changes can support hormonal wellbeing
• How women can begin advocating for their bodies and their health

This episode offers something many women have never been told before:

Painful periods are not something you simply have to live with.

Whether you are personally navigating painful cycles or supporting someone who is, this conversation brings education, compassion, and hope to the journey of understanding women’s health more deeply.

Listen now and join us in changing the conversation around menstrual health.

That rest is weakness.
That powering through is the only option.

But what if that belief is quietly exhausting your body, your nervous system, and your emotional health?

In this episode of Embracing Flow, Heather is joined by Erin Catron — a nervous system educator and trauma-informed therapist — for a deeply compassionate conversation about how survival patterns form, how they live in the body, and why so many high-functioning women feel tired, disconnected, inflamed, or overwhelmed without knowing why.

Together, they explore:

• How early experiences and unspoken shame shape our nervous system
• Why your body may still be operating in survival mode
• How tension, digestion, fatigue, and emotional burnout are connected
• What safety actually feels like in the body
• Why rest is not laziness — it is neurological repair
• How to gently begin listening to your body again
• And how small moments of awareness can reconnect your internal circuitry

This episode is not about fixing yourself.

It is about realizing your body has been protecting you all along — and learning how to work with it instead of against it.

If you are a woman balancing work, motherhood, caregiving, relationships, and responsibility — and you are tired of feeling like your body is failing you — this conversation is for you.

Because you are not broken.
You are responding.
And you are allowed to respond with care.

She has worked across psychiatric hospitals, schools, foster care, private practice, supporting people of all [00:01:00] ages, and through that work, she's come to see just how transformative nervous system education can be, not only for personal healing, but for collective expansion.

In this episode, Heather Allmendinger, Queen of Flow and host of the Embracing Flow™ podcast, unpacks how chronic stress reshapes hormonal balance — long before you realize it.

Discover why cortisol is more than a “stress hormone,” how it hijacks your cycle rhythm, and what your body is really saying when you feel “tired but wired.”

This episode connects this week’s Flow Q and DYK: how emotional and physical stress both disrupt your hormonal blueprint — and what to do about it. 🌿

✨ You’ll learn:

  • How cortisol changes energy, sleep, and cycle timing
  • Why your body holds onto stress signals long after the moment passes
  • What true rest looks like in a hormone-aware lifestyle
  • Simple shifts to support your body during high-stress seasons

💭 Reflection prompt: Where is your body keeping score right now? And how can you give it extra credit instead of more pressure?

About Chelsea Mcleod

I had to heal myself before I could help other women heal. Ran myself into the ground in corporate for a decade before healing my insomnia, PCOS, high cortisol, and gut issues. From there, I helped family and friends heal after going back to school for integrative health to become a practitioner. Quit my job as a digital director at a publicly traded company when my side hustle scaled too fast. Now I've helped over 200 women heal.

In today's world, we are surrounded by cheap food, reasons to sit all day, toxic exposures in our food, water, and air, and stress - oh the stress! If we are going to live long, productive, healthy, beautiful lives, we need to protect and nurture our bodies and minds. We need an extensive Wellness Toolkit to help us! The biggest tool in that toolbox is our lifestyle and self-care practices. Self care is more than pedicures, a new dress, or a glass of wine. Self care is not about what works for your sister, friend, or some random person on the internet. Self care should be personalized and create positive progress towards a healthier, more vibrant you! I am lucky enough to spend my days helping women and men figure out what their best self care practices are through experimentation, testing, intuition, science, and curiosity!

In today's world, we are surrounded by cheap food, reasons to sit all day, toxic exposures in our food, water, and air, and stress - oh the stress! If we are going to live long, productive, healthy, beautiful lives, we need to protect and nurture our bodies and minds. We need an extensive Wellness Toolkit to help us! The biggest tool in that toolbox is our lifestyle and self-care practices. Self care is more than pedicures, a new dress, or a glass of wine. Self care is not about what works for your sister, friend, or some random person on the internet. Self care should be personalized and create positive progress towards a healthier, more vibrant you! I am lucky enough to spend my days helping women and men figure out what their best self care practices are through experimentation, testing, intuition, science, and curiosity!

In this no-holds-barred conversation, Dr. Aumatma Simmons, a naturopathic endocrinologist and best-selling author, reveals how hormones, toxins, and misunderstood medical advice are impacting far more than we realize.

We explore why true fertility is an indicator of your body's health, creativity, and resilience — and how understanding your cycle, avoiding common toxins, and tuning into your womb wisdom can change everything.

I'm a Naturopathic Doctor in practice for almost 20 years. I also have a speciality as a FABNE - which is a fancy acknowledgement that deems me an expert on hormones in a holistic way. For a majority of my time in practice, I have focused on fertility, and over the years have helped the birth of thousands of healthy babies. My best-selling book "Fertility Secrets: What Your Doctor Didn't Tell You about Baby-Making" reveals a lot of my research and real-life experience beyond what's commonly taught to us as medical professionals-- and shares the major reasons why I am so passionate about educating women. I believe that ALL women should have access to knowledge about our bodies and what I have come to title 'womb-wisdom' which is the source of our creative energy - babies or other creations! Over the years, I have learned that one of my gifts is to take lots of pieces of information and convert it into a distilled take-away that someone can put to use instantly! So, I have stepped into the educational space of training the next generation for fertility specialists that approach fertility from a holistic perspective. Also, running a multi-6-figure business based on my female superpower (my menstrual cycle) is knowledge that I teach, train, and coach on for female entrepreneurs who want to up level their businesses without the grind-- and the burnout. I feel like the 'womb-wisdom' I referred to earlier is a core source of creation energy that we have access to as women. So, while most female entrepreneurs learn to grind like men (yep, I have been there too!) I think it's time that we access our own superpowers!

Mike Gaskins is an author and media producer who began his journey as a women’s health advocate after a world-renowned physician lied to him about birth control side effects. This chance encounter triggered a passion for research that led Mike to discover many shocking levels of deceit and misinformation surrounding these potent drugs. He frequently writes for a number of websites, and his book, In the Name of The Pill, explores the dubious nature of both the history and science of hormonal birth control.

Dr. Emilie Wilson is a naturopathic doctor, acupuncturist, author, and new mother. Her clinical background is in women's cardiometabolic and hormone health. After a traumatic childbirth in late 2022, she entered a very difficult postpartum time, including struggles with postpartum depression and anxiety. She knew that if she could struggle so much as a naturopathic doctor, then too many other new parents were, too. So she wrote a book to guide expecting parents to create their Postpartum Self-Care Plan in pregnancy, to set them up for the best postpartum experience possible. In early 2024 her book "POST: The Essential Guide to Creating Your Postpartum Self-Care Plan in Pregnancy" was released. By walking expecting parents through specific, research-based steps to create their Postpartum Self-Care Plan, Dr. Wilson intends to empower new parents to have the best postpartum time possible, so they can focus on what matters: their health, and their relationship with their new baby.

The center is the first in the nation to utilize nature and its healing properties as a fundamental component of a wellness program.

Dr. Bilstrom is passionate about educating individuals and medical professionals on the importance of reversing and preventing autoimmune diseases using the fundamentals of Functional Medicine. Instead of relying solely on symptom-controlled medications that may lead to additional health complications.

Dr. Bilstrom’s mission is to revolutionize the way autoimmune disease is treated worldwide by teaching the fundamentals of Functional Medicine. He is a sought-after speaker, has lectured on five continents, and has been featured at the American Academy of Anti-Aging Medicine (A4M) in Las Vegas in December 2022.

Dr. Bilstrom is the author of the book, "The Nurse Practitioners’ Guide to Autoimmune Medicine: Preventing and Reversing All Autoimmunity.”

Dr. Bilstrom has also created a course, Autoimmune Hope, for patients to empower them with science-based hope that there is a solution for their autoimmune disease.

In 2018, Dr. Bilstrom declared and named a positive ANA as Bilstrom’s Nuclearitis because, by definition, an antinuclear antibody is antibodies being produced by a confused immune system, attacking a person's nuclear material (DNA). Named in 2018 and first published in 2020 in the textbook Advanced Therapeutics in Pain Medicine, Chapter 6: Managing Pain in the Presence of Autoimmune Disease.

Ilsa grew up in midcoast Maine on a small organic farm and started learning about natural medicine from her mother at a young age. However, her first business was as an actress and aerial dancer, she performed and taught classes nationally until she found herself in her own health crisis.

After trying what felt like everything, she discovered regenerative health, and it only took her 3 months to get out of chronic pain, repair her hip issues, resolve her adrenal fatigue, and to balance her hormones. She was overjoyed, and this inspired her to share the protocol with her loved ones, and they also had incredibly rapid health breakthroughs. That was the turning point, she was determined to share what she had found with the world, so she got certified as a practitioner through the Institute of Regenerative Health, and she's been practicing ever since.

She was overjoyed, and this inspired her to share the protocol with her loved ones, and they also had incredibly rapid health breakthroughs. That was the turning point, she was determined to share what she had found with the world, so she got certified as a practitioner through the Institute of Regenerative Health, and she's been practicing ever since.

About XX Strong

Our business, XX Strong, established in 2023, as a partnership between Heather Allmendinger (a Period and Fertility Awareness Coach) and Barb V (a World Champion Athlete, a multi-sport Athletic and Business Coach). Through our podcast collaborations, we uncovered a global need for improved education on the significance and influence of menstrual cycles for female (XX) athletes. Today, we offer comprehensive workshops and training materials for Athletes, Performers, Coaches, Athletic Trainers, Athletic Directors, and Parents, highlighting the impact, importance, and power of menstrual cycles on athletic performance from pre-puberty onward. Our biggest challenges include dispelling myths and stigmas while altering long-term coaching attitudes and misguided concepts around female athletes and their monthly issues with their menstrual cycles. Our hands-on, personalized programs delve into the science behind the menstrual cycle, dispel myths and stigmas, and provide practical applications for strategically integrating cycle tracking into training and competition. We believe that revolutionizing female performance involves seizing opportunities and overcoming challenges while delivering scientifically supported research and education.

About XX Strong

Our business, XX Strong, established in 2023, as a partnership between Heather Allmendinger (a Period and Fertility Awareness Coach) and Barb V (a World Champion Athlete, a multi-sport Athletic and Business Coach). Through our podcast collaborations, we uncovered a global need for improved education on the significance and influence of menstrual cycles for female (XX) athletes. Today, we offer comprehensive workshops and training materials for Athletes, Performers, Coaches, Athletic Trainers, Athletic Directors, and Parents, highlighting the impact, importance, and power of menstrual cycles on athletic performance from pre-puberty onward. Our biggest challenges include dispelling myths and stigmas while altering long-term coaching attitudes and misguided concepts around female athletes and their monthly issues with their menstrual cycles. Our hands-on, personalized programs delve into the science behind the menstrual cycle, dispel myths and stigmas, and provide practical applications for strategically integrating cycle tracking into training and competition. We believe that revolutionizing female performance involves seizing opportunities and overcoming challenges while delivering scientifically supported research and education. XX Strong’s transformational outcomes are achieved through the thorough integration of nutrition, mindset, physical training strategies, and tracking menstrual cycles.

On the outside, I looked calm and collected, yet internally, I was numb and actually telling myself to breathe, any thought beyond the inhale/exhale pattern was too overwhelming.   Not only was I dealing with the passing of my husband and life with a newborn, my corporate life changed too when a new management team was assigned. As I pulled the broken pieces back together, realization hit, I needed a new start; I’d outgrown the corporate world, it was time to share my love of the products I’d been using, but sales felt gross to me.

So, I went back to school, earning three health coaching certifications. In the process, I saw how little we know and talk about the menstrual cycle. We don’t know how it works or how it interacts with every single system in our body. The taboo of menstruation had to stop! 

Flashbacks of my grandmother giving me the period talk, the absolute hatred of my painful, heavy, nauseating, passing out periods, to the embarrassing nurse’s office trip with bled through dark pants and being handed WHITE sweatpants!  

I remember the shock and excitement of my first pregnancy, the frustrating 14 months of secondary infertility plus gestational diabetes with my second child, treatment of cervical dysplasia, and my own cycle syncing journey which has allowed me to appreciate and enjoy my period.  Imagine embracing your period every single month?

I wondered how much of this could have been avoided? I knew I wasn’t alone in these experiences. That’s why I created Vivydus, the Full of Life Company whose vision is to change how menstruation is viewed by society and the mission to provide an educational, holistic, safe space for all individuals to learn and discuss the menstrual cycle from puberty through menopause.

Join me on this journey as we learn, break the taboo, and openly discuss how we can authentically and uncompromisingly be full of life.

Join me on this journey as we learn, break the taboo, and openly discuss how we can authentically and uncompromisingly be full of life.

I am your host Heather Allmendinger and this is the Embracing Flow podcast.
