732. What Your Doctor Isn’t Telling You About Your Hormones
The Female Health Solution Podcast
You’ve been told, “Your labs look normal.” But you’re dragging through your days, snapping over nothing, wide awake at 2 a.m., and feeling like a stranger in your own body. So what's this really about? “Normal” isn’t the whole story. Most standard lab tests are designed to rule out disease. They’re not built to uncover the root cause of fatigue, hormone imbalances, anxiety, stubborn weight, or burnout. That’s why so many women are left thinking: “Something’s wrong, but no one can find it.” It’s not you. It’s your labs. Standard blood work often misses: cortisol...

731. Why Your Labs Look Fine—But You Don’t Feel Fine
The Female Health Solution Podcast
If you're maintaining a healthy lifestyle—regular exercise, balanced nutrition, minimal alcohol—and still experiencing fatigue, weight fluctuations, digestive issues, and hormonal symptoms, you're not alone. This was Jenny's experience. After two years of persistent health challenges, she came to us as a last resort. She had already spent thousands of dollars on care that didn’t produce results. No comprehensive testing. No targeted interventions. Just more supplements and generic advice. Her case wasn’t unusual. What made the difference was data. Through our 1:1 program, Jenny...

730. MTHFR: What It Is and Why It's Messing With Your Health
The Female Health Solution Podcast
Let’s talk about something that gets tossed around a lot in the world of women’s health — MTHFR. You might have heard it mentioned in conversations about fatigue, fertility struggles, anxiety, or detox issues… but what is it really? And how do you know if it’s affecting you? Let’s break it down together. 👉 So, What is MTHFR? MTHFR stands for methylenetetrahydrofolate reductase (say that three times fast). It’s an enzyme your body uses to process folate (vitamin B9) and regulate something called homocysteine, an amino acid linked to heart health. But here’s where it gets even...

728. Hair Loss, Poor Sleep, No Energy: What's Behind It All
The Female Health Solution Podcast
I need to tell you about Brenda. When she first came to me, she was done. Exhausted, burned out, frustrated. She felt like she was living in a body she didn’t recognize anymore — and no matter how “healthy” she tried to be, nothing was working. ✔️ Her hair was thinning. ✔️ Her weight was climbing. ✔️ She couldn’t sleep. ✔️ Her energy was nonexistent. ✔️ Her cycles were all over the place. And she kept thinking, “Maybe it’s just stress… maybe it’ll pass.” But it didn’t. What Brenda didn’t realize was that years of unaddressed hormone shifts — from...

727. Why Am I So Tired? The Labs Every Woman Needs
The Female Health Solution Podcast
Being exhausted every day is not normal. Not the “I need a little nap” kind of tired. I’m talking about the kind of exhaustion where: You can’t do the grocery store + make dinner in the same day. Folding a load of laundry feels like climbing a mountain. You cancel plans (again) because you just can’t. And when you bring it up? You get told: “Maybe you’re just stressed.” “It's just getting older” "That's just part of being a woman. No. You are not crazy for feeling this way. And you deserve answers. Your energy levels are the result of so many pieces...

The Female Health Solution Podcast
Have you ever found yourself thinking: “I’m not doing anything different… but all of a sudden I’m exhausted, gaining weight, snapping at everyone, and feeling like a shell of myself.

725. How to Break Cycles, Get Sober, and Reclaim Your Story with Dr. Samantha Harte
The Female Health Solution Podcast
As a physical therapist, Samantha spent years treating bodies in pain. But what she uncovered was that so many of her patients — high achievers, athletes, professionals — weren’t just dealing with physical symptoms. They were carrying deep emotional wounds: perfectionism, people-pleasing, addiction to productivity, and shame. And it wasn’t just in their heads. It was in their nervous systems. In her new book, Breaking the Circuit, she shares: ✨ Her personal journey through addiction recovery, grief, and self-forgiveness ✨ How trauma patterns live in the body and affect our health...

724. Protein Pacing: The Simplest Way to Balance Your Hormones
The Female Health Solution Podcast
Let’s clear something up right now — if you’ve been feeling off with your hormones… whether it’s bloating, mood swings, poor sleep, stubborn weight, low energy, or unpredictable cycles… there’s one simple thing you might be overlooking: PROTEIN. I know, you’ve probably heard that protein’s important. But do you really know why it matters for your hormones? Most women don’t — and it’s costing them. 👉 Here’s how protein impacts your hormones at every level: ✨ Hormone Production: Your body literally builds hormones out of amino acids (the building blocks of...

723. Burnout, Brain Fog, No Libido? It’s Not Just Stress...
The Female Health Solution Podcast
Let’s talk about burnout — the kind that makes you feel mentally fried, physically drained, and like even getting through your to-do list is a monumental task. Here’s the thing nobody tells you: burnout isn’t just “being stressed out.” It’s a physiological hormonal crisis happening in your body. By the time most women hit burnout, it’s not just about being tired. It’s about your adrenals, cortisol, dopamine, testosterone, and progesterone all taking a nosedive — and your body sending up all the flares. 👉 Ever felt like you’re dragging yourself through the day? 👉 No...
info_outlineIf you’ve ever sat in a doctor’s office, explaining your symptoms for the hundredth time, only to hear, “Your labs are normal,” while you still feel like garbage… this is for you.
You’re not crazy. You’re not making it up. And no, it’s not all in your head.
The truth? Most conventional tests barely scratch the surface. Maybe you asked for thyroid testing and only got TSH checked (spoiler: that’s not enough). Maybe you’ve tried the diets, the workouts, the supplements, and still—you feel exhausted, moody, and bloated for no clear reason.
You don’t need another generic “eat clean and sleep more” recommendation. You need answers.
That’s where deeper testing comes in—like the DUTCH test, GI mapping, or food sensitivity panels. These tests show what’s really going on under the hood, so you’re not just guessing anymore.
Here’s what I want you to hear loud and clear: You are not failing. You just haven’t found the right key for your body yet.
The “magic” isn’t in doing more—it’s in doing the right things based on what your body actually needs. That’s why personalized support matters. It’s not about following another wellness trend; it’s about getting real answers so you can finally feel like yourself again.
If this resonates, and you’re tired of spinning your wheels, I invite you to take the next step. Let’s get you the answers (and the support) you actually need.

Because six months from now, I want you looking back, not wondering why you waited so long.
You deserve to feel good. Let’s make that happen.
