112. Understanding the Vagina Better with Dr. Nicole E. Williams

Allison Preiss is founder of The Infused Life and it’s her passion to educate others on simple ways they can reduce their toxic load. It’s never been more important to learn about your products (whether it’s your makeup, self-care items, or cleaning supplies) because they all affect your hormones — especially if they’re full of toxins and ingredients you can’t even pronounce! This subject is so important because our liver is what processes the hormones out of our system, and when it’s overburdened by dealing with these toxic chemicals, it affects our hormones even more. Allison dives into the principles of non-toxic living, making your own non-toxic products, and why some of these products aren’t as good as the labels say they are.We Chat About:Getting started with non-toxic livingWhat’s holding people back from making their own productsWhat toxic burden isWhat we need to avoid in our homesWhat we should know about “greenwashing” productsThe first thing you should do when changing out your productsResources:Instagram: instagram.com/allison_preissFacebook: facebook.com/EssentialOilsEducatorAllison’s Top 5 DIY’sConnect With Me:FREE WORKBOOK - How to Intuitively Connect to Your Menstrual CycleLearn more about the Heal Your Period online programBook a Reiki SessionBook a Tarot ReadingPrivate Hormone CoachingLet’s be friends on Instagram: @nourishedwithninaHealing Hormones is a production of Crate MediaMentioned in this episode:FAM TrainingLearn how to prevent pregnancy naturally and ditch birth control without fear.

Today is a special solo episode. I’ve shared bits and pieces about my personal healing journey in previous episodes, but I’ve received requests to record an episode all about what I am doing or planning to do. If you’re listening to this podcast you are likely trying to find some healing answers, so I thought it would be powerful to share my own story. I am in the process of following various protocols, I’ve done some testing, and I want to dive deep into what all of that means for me and my future hormonal healing.We Chat About:How being on the pill was masking my hormone strugglesMy period problemsGetting tests to get to the root of my problemThe importance of consulting with an expertMy test resultsThe supplements I’m taking to support my hormone levelsMy goals with this healing journeyDry brushingCastor oilVaginal steamingHow I can help youPodcast Sponsors:Try savoristacoffee.comConnect With Me:FREE WORKBOOK - How to Intuitively Connect to Your Menstrual CycleLearn more about the Heal Your Period 6 Week ProgramBook a Reiki SessionBook a Tarot ReadingPrivate Hormone CoachingLet’s be friends on Instagram: @nourishedwithninaHealing Hormones is a production of Crate MediaMentioned in this episode:FAM TrainingLearn how to prevent pregnancy naturally and ditch birth control without fear.

I used to struggle with chronic anxiety, and a few years ago everything in my life began to snowball. I knew there was something going on with my body but I couldn’t pinpoint it. It was this point in my life where I became curious about my hormone health and, five years later, I’m now coaching women who experience those same struggles. That makes today’s discussion with Katie Dalebout about anxiety really special.Katie is a writer, podcaster, and founder of Let It Out, a community built around sharing “soft stories.” Her book “Let It Out” is an interactive guide for journaling, which is a fantastic way of getting in touch with the body.

We get into what anxiety feels like in your body, how it affects your life, and some of the ways we can learn to be okay with our anxiety.We Chat About:Understanding anxiety and identifying it in yourselfLearning from our low pointsAllowing ourselves to feel our feelingsThe power of sharing your storiesBeing self-awareSitting with yourselfBeing okay with not knowing what’s going to happenResources:Learn more: katiedalebout.comInstagram: instagram.com/katiedaleboutTwitter: twitter.com/katiedaleboutListen: spiralingpodcast.comListen: letitouttt.com/podcastsRead “Let It Out”"Everyone Feels This Way" by Josh RadnorConnect With Me:FREE WORKBOOK - How to Intuitively Connect to Your Menstrual CycleLearn more about the Heal Your Period online programBook a Reiki SessionBook a Tarot ReadingPrivate Hormone CoachingLet’s be friends on Instagram: @nourishedwithninaHealing Hormones is a production of Crate MediaMentioned in this episode:FAM TrainingLearn how to prevent pregnancy naturally and ditch birth control without fear.

So many women aren’t prepared for this phase of their life and can be completely blindsided by some of the symptoms that come along with it.

Now she coaches women on the right way to manage their menopausal symptoms.We Chat About:The definition + symptoms of menopause and perimenopauseHow we can still feel good when our estrogen levels drop offTaking hormone therapyHow progesterone affects women during perimenopauseDealing with hot flashesHow our metabolism changes as we ageResources:mariaclaps.comInstagram: @wise_and_well_Stabilize Your Blood Sugar + Fix Your Period | with Nicole JardimConnect With Me:Subscribe on Apple PodcastsSubscribe on Google PodcastsLearn more about the Heal Your Period online programStart your FREE 14-Day Gut RebootConnect on Instagram: @nourishedwithninaPrivate Hormone CoachingHealing Hormones is a production of Crate MediaMentioned in this episode:FAM TrainingLearn how to prevent pregnancy naturally and ditch birth control without fear.

Dr. Beth Westie was a chiropractor at heart, but she took that knowledge and combined it with her own personal experience with women’s health and hormones. After a miscarriage, some pregnancy issues, and ovarian cysts, Beth started diving into the research regarding her hormones — and why the only things doctors would prescribe her were Vicodin and birth control. We talk about that journey, including diving into Eastern medicine practices in order to heal her cysts, all of the things western medicine gets wrong about women’s bodies, and how you can work to complement your body’s natural cycles.We Chat About:Dr. Beth’s rare pregnancy experienceDealing with ovarian cystsWhy studies are typically done on men and the problem with thatDiving into eastern medicineBalancing your hormones and basal body temperatureChoosing what foods are best for your cycleResources:www.drbethwestie.comInstagram: instagram.com/drbethwestieFacebook: facebook.com/drbethwestieYouTube: youtube.com/channel/drbethwestieConnect With Me:Subscribe on Apple PodcastsSubscribe on Google PodcastsLearn more about the Heal Your Period online programStart your FREE 14-Day Gut RebootConnect on Instagram: @nourishedwithninaPrivate Hormone CoachingHealing Hormones is a production of Crate MediaMentioned in this episode:FAM TrainingLearn how to prevent pregnancy naturally and ditch birth control without fear.
