215: Optimizing Your Health and Your Self with Stephanie Grutz

In this inspiring and eye-opening episode, I'm joined by Stephanie Grutz, FNP, a family nurse practitioner, integrative medicine expert, and founder of The Health Spa by Vive in Peosta and Cedar Rapids, Iowa.

You might know Steph from The Healthy Practitioner, her educational YouTube channel, or her thriving Instagram community. I've followed her for years, and finally sitting down for this conversation was both exciting and humbling—because there's so much I didn't know about her industry, despite being deeply curious about it.

Steph brings a refreshing and empowering approach to wellness, helping women proactively care for their health through integrative medicine, IV therapy, hormone support, and so much more.

Together, we dig into what it really means to optimize your body and mind—especially as ambitious women balancing life, work, and well-being. You'll hear about Steph's personal health journey, why she launched her own supplement line, the potential of the therapies she provides in her clinics, and how small, intentional choices can lead to life-changing results.

In This Episode, You'll Learn:

What integrative medicine really is—and how it helps you optimize every part of your life
Why so many women today are breaking generational patterns around food, wellness, and body awareness
How ketamine-assisted therapy is helping patients reconnect neural pathways and heal from stress and trauma
What to look for in quality supplements, and why Steph created her own line
The pivotal patient story that reminded Steph of the power in even the smallest hormone changes
How Steph found deep alignment with her purpose by building a career rooted in helping others
