Episode 222: How Hypnotherapy Rewires the Subconscious Mind to Reduce Anxiety and Stress with Craig Merriweather 03/26/2026

Episode 222: How Hypnotherapy Rewires the Subconscious Mind to Reduce Anxiety and Stress with Craig Merriweather Today I’m joined by Craig Merriweather, a certified clinical hypnotherapist, medical hypnosis specialist, and mindset coach. Craig is the founder of Arizona Integrative Hypnotherapy and has spent over a decade helping people work with the subconscious mind to shift patterns around stress, anxiety, trauma, and confidence through clinical hypnotherapy and neuroscience-based techniques. What You Will Learn in This Episode: Why the subconscious mind governs nearly all of our behaviors and how to bridge the gap between your logical goals and emotional reactions. How childhood survival strategies (like staying "small" or "quiet") become outdated "computer code" in adulthood and how to rewrite them. Why hypnosis isn't about losing control or "barking like a dog," but rather quieting the conscious mind to access your internal healing power. Understanding the shift from high-stress Beta waves to the creative, daydreamy Alpha and Theta states where real change happens. A simple, science-backed technique to interrupt the stress response and flood your system with "feel-good" chemistry like dopamine and serotonin.

Episode 220: Perimenopause Brain Fog? How Medicinal Mushrooms May Support Hormones and Cortisol with Dr. Desiree Caruso ND In this episode of Hope Natural Health, Dr. Erin connects with Dr. Desiree Caruso, a Naturopathic Doctor and advisor with AIO Wellness. Dr. Desiree shares her fascinating journey of becoming a "mushroom nerd" and how these ancient fungi serve as modern tools for biohacking. They dive deep into the science of how high-quality, dual-extracted mushrooms help women shift out of "survival mode" to reclaim their energy, focus, and hormonal balance through purity, transparency, and functional formulations. During this episode you will learn about: How functional mushrooms act as true adaptogens, helping the HPA axis recalibrate so your body can prioritize hormone production over chronic survival stress. Why Cordyceps is the ultimate "quick win" for the exhausted-but-wired woman, increasing ATP (cellular energy) without the jitters or crashes associated with caffeine. How dual-extraction allows specific compounds to cross the blood-brain barrier to repair nerve cells, enhance memory, and clear "chemo brain" or perimenopausal fog. The "gold standard" mushroom for supporting insulin sensitivity and promoting healthy ovulation, making it a powerful ally for reproductive health. Why mushroom polysaccharides are essential for producing butyrate the "guardian of the colon" which maintains barrier integrity and supports estrogen recycling. Why choosing USDA organic, wood-grown fruiting bodies over "ground-up rice" is the difference between a therapeutic result and a wasted supplement.

How stress acts as a vacuum for magnesium and sodium, and why an HTMA (Hair Tissue Mineral Analysis) is the "financial audit" your metabolism needs. How caffeine on an empty stomach can disrupt your hormones for 18 hours, and why a "protein first" rule is non-negotiable. A simple morning habit of warm water, sea salt, and lemon to "re-electrify" your cells and support liver detox.

Episode 218: Why Fat Loss Gets Harder After 35: Stress, Hormones, and Smarter Strength Training with Reece Hallard In this episode of Hope Natural Health, Dr. Erin sits down with Reese Hallard, founder of Smart Body and Performance. Reese has built a global coaching community dedicated to helping women over 30 and 40 navigate the complexities of fat loss, strength, and hormonal health. From his early roots in professional sports to a deep-seated passion for women’s health inspired by his mother’s struggle with perimenopause, Reese brings a compassionate, science-backed perspective to midlife transformation. Reese breaks down the "gender gap" in health research and explains why the strategies that worked in your 20s often lead to burnout and plateaus in your 40s. He shares how to shift from a mindset of restriction to one of self-prioritization and sustainable recovery. During this episode you will learn about: Why the high-stress, high-cardio routines of your youth backfire as responsibilities increase and physiology shifts. How building lean muscle tissue acts as a metabolic engine burning three times more calories than fat while protecting against osteoporosis and maintaining independence. Why HIIT workouts might be keeping the weight on by spiking cortisol levels in an already stressed body. Why intentional rest and "switching off" is a non-negotiable requirement for fat loss, rather than a luxury. How using data like a "financial audit" can reveal where you are under-fueling or missing vital protein targets. Why putting your health first isn't selfish—it's the only way to effectively show up for your family, career, and community.

Dr. Glenn Livingston is a psychologist and the creator of "Defeat Your Cravings," a method grounded in decades of research and real-world experience.

He is the author of the book "Defeat Your Cravings," hosts a podcast of the same name, and offers live coaching focused on lasting behavior change. Dr. Glenn’s journey began with his own struggle at one point reaching 300 lbs and the realization that "loving himself" through traditional therapy wasn't fixing his relationship with food.

E213: Why Trying Harder Isn’t Helping Your Hormones 01/22/2026

E213: Why Trying Harder Isn’t Helping Your Hormones In this episode, Dr. Erin Ellis, Naturopathic Doctor and founder of Hope Natural Health, shifts from reflection into education for the new year of 2026. Dr. Ellis addresses a common pattern seen in the new year: women feeling motivated yet discouraged after trying "extreme resets" that fail to yield results. She explains that symptoms like fatigue, weight resistance, and mood shifts are not problems to be eliminated, but rather physiological feedback from the body. Through a clinical lens, Dr. Ellis breaks down why common symptoms such as blood sugar instability, cortisol dysregulation, and hormonal imbalances—require a supportive approach rather than more stress. This episode is a call to move away from "starting over" and toward understanding the unique context of your own physiology. 00:00 Welcome to the Hope Natural Health Podcast 00:33 The Pattern of New Year "Resets" 01:00 Symptoms as Physiological Feedback 01:50 Why "Starting Over" Can Add More Stress 02:48 Understanding Hormones as Adaptive Messengers 03:52 Transitioning in your 30s and 40s (Perimenopause) 04:13 The Importance of Root Drivers and Lab Data 04:29 Join The Hope Circle Community For more on Dr. Erin: Join The Hope Circle Community: Work with Dr. Erin here: Buy Dr. Erin's Supplements here: Get the Period Productivity Planner here: Download the FREE Menstrual Cycle Nutrition Guide here: Watch The Free Video "7 Hormones Affecting Your Weight Loss Goals" here: Let's Be Friends: Follow Dr. Erin on Instagram: Follow Dr. Erin on Facebook: Follow Dr. Erin on TikTok: Join the Free Hope Circle Community: Bookmark Dr. Erin’s Website: Subscribe to Hope Natural Health on YouTube: Follow Hope Natural Health on FB: Sign up for Newsletters here: #HormoneHealth #Perimenopause #NaturopathicMedicine #RootCauseHealing #WomensHealth #NewYearReset #BiohackingWomen #CortisolHealth #BloodSugar #TheHopeCircle #MetabolicHealth #HormoneBalance #Physiology /episode/index/show/hopenaturalhealth/id/39803800
