In this episode, we take a holistic and inclusive look at fertility and infertility—breaking the myth that it’s only a “women’s issue.” Fertility health involves both partners, and understanding how to support it begins long before trying to conceive.
We discuss practical ways to assess fertility proactively, how both men and women can optimize their reproductive health, and the subtle (or not-so-subtle) ways your body might be signaling that something’s off. From hormone health and natural rhythms to lifestyle shifts and medical assessments, we cover how to tune into your body and set the stage for success—whether kids are in your immediate plans or just something you're thinking about for the future.
This is a grounded, compassionate conversation for anyone looking to be more informed, empowered, and proactive about their reproductive health.

In this episode, we discuss how to optimize your cycle by choosing specific foods, exercises, and work focuses during specific times of the month. We reference the books In the Flo by Alisa Vitti and Fast Like A Girl by Mindy Pelz - both fantastic resources on this topic. When we were younger, we barely received any education on our cycles, let alone the knowledge of how to actually build and customize your life around your body’s natural rhythms. For so long, women have suffered silently, not knowing there is a better way. There truly is a way to WORK SMART NOT HARD. Tune in for more details!

Join us as we discuss the plethora of testing and labs that were drawn for Lindsay to figure out what is going on in her body and why.

This investigation will look differently for everyone, but if you are committed and willing to invest in your health, THERE IS A WAY. You CAN find answers. And functional medicine practitioners are some of the best at investigating.

In this episode, we discuss the benefits of living by the ocean and how these benefits impact our physical health and our overall wellbeing. This discussion is led largely by the information that is within the book called, “By The Sea: The therapeutic benefits of being in, on and by the water” by Deborah Cracknell. This book provided us with the scientific proof for many assumptions we already inherently had about living by the ocean.

In this episode we discuss our experience with The Free Diet, created by Dr. Tom Refrano. We decided to do an entire episode just on this diet alone, because we saw such drastic results. The purpose of this diet was NOT to lose weight, but rather resolve a series of symptoms that we knew we could resolve with dietary changes. What makes this diet different, is that it not only helps you heal your gut, but it also helps you figure out WHAT foods exactly you are having reactions to.

So we decided to spice things up a bit by sprinkling a little fun in between our episodes this week!
A friend prompted a great topic - what is the difference between health and wellness?
We thought this was a good prompt because oftentimes we feel these words are used interchangeably.
So in this short episode we briefly discuss how we interpret the difference between the two.
But also actual definitions from Oxford Dictionary:
Health - "the state of being free from illness or injury"
Wellness - "the state of being healthy, especially when you actively try to achieve this"
