Shifting Your Emotions From Fear, Grief Into Hope with Rafaella Elias 08/11/2026

Shifting Your Emotions From Fear, Grief Into Hope with Rafaella Elias In episode #453 of The Hormone Puzzle Podcast, our guest, Rafaella Elias talks about Shifting Your Emotions From Fear, Grief Into Hope. More about Rafaella: Rafaella Elias has always been passionate about improving public health. With a background in Nutrition, Health Sciences and Epidemiology, her career path was focused on understanding health from a scientific perspective. However, when she faced Type 1 diabetes, hypothyroidism and infertility, she embarked on a transformational healing journey—one that extended beyond medicine. Along the way, she discovered the profound power of the mind-body connection, emotional healing, and shifting beliefs to manifest what the heart desires. By embracing these principles, she transformed her pain into power, turning what once felt impossible into reality: the gift of motherhood. Inspired by her journey, Rafaella developed Little Miracle Creations, an initiative to share meaningful offerings that support women on their journey to motherhood. Through creative expression and heartfelt insights, she continues to expand this growing collection, beginning with her poetry book and guided journal. With more to come, each offering is created to inspire women to believe in their own miracles. Rafaella’s debut book, Little Miracle Milestones, is a collection of affirmation-infused poetry, written as an intimate dialogue between mother and baby. Accompanied by a guided journal, this collection provides a space to release limiting beliefs and step into the energy of manifesting a little miracle. Thank you for listening!

Histamine & Hormones - The Hidden Link with Jamie DeLaurentis 07/21/2026

Histamine & Hormones - The Hidden Link with Jamie DeLaurentis In episode #449 of The Hormone Puzzle Podcast, our guest, Jamie DeLaurentis talks about Histamine & Hormones- The Hidden Link. More about Jamie: Jamie is a registered dietitian and gut health expert and, as she often shares, a retired “sensitive Sally.” She personally experienced the frustration of navigating GI specialists, receiving normal lab results despite ongoing symptoms, following strict elimination diets, and trying countless supplements. Like many of the clients she now supports, she felt stuck and questioned whether her health would ever truly improve or if the stubborn symptom cycle would ever break. Through her own journey, Jamie realized the missing piece wasn’t doing more or simply changing what she was doing — it was understanding why the symptoms were happening in the first place. That insight propelled her into the functional medicine space and ultimately transformed the way she approaches gut health today. Thank you for listening!

447: Non-Toxic Living for Fertility with Kelly Love and Allison Evans n episode #447 of The Hormone Puzzle Podcast, our guests, Kelly Love and Allison Evans talk about Non-Toxic Living for Fertility. More about Kelly and Allison: Kelly Love is the co-founder of Branch Basics, a wellness and lifestyle brand creating cleaning products that prioritize human health. Raised on the standard American diet and surrounded by conventional household products, Kelly didn’t experience the impact of reducing everyday toxins until her early twenties. After making simple changes in her home and daily routine, many of the “normal” issues she had dealt with for years — dry and itchy eyes, painful menstrual cramps, joint and muscle pain, and even body odor — disappeared. Motivated by that transformation, Kelly co-founded Branch Basics to help others create healthier homes and experience the power of pure as well. She lives in Jackson, Mississippi, with her husband and four children, and continues to educate on practical, accessible wellness. Allison Evans is the co-founder of Branch Basics, a wellness and lifestyle brand creating cleaning products that prioritize human health. After experiencing a severe health crisis in college that included chronic pain, PCOS, and motor impairments, Allison found herself on multiple medications with no real answers. A summer spent living with her aunt, Marilee Nelson, in the Texas Hill Country changed everything. By removing toxic chemicals from her environment and focusing on real, whole foods, her symptoms and cysts disappeared, transforming the way she viewed health. She later conceived and gave birth to four children naturally, something she was told would never be possible. Motivated by her journey, Allison co-founded Branch Basics to help others create healthier homes and thrive. She lives in Texas with her family and is passionate about helping others take steps toward lasting wellness. Thank you for listening!

Lindsay has worked inside some of the most respected fertility centers in the country, including CCRM and Kindbody, across their embryology, andrology, and endocrinology laboratories.

Her goal was to create a science based, compassionate space where people could access clear guidance on the modifiable factors that impact fertility.
