In this empowering episode, Teresa sits down with Sara Paxton, a pharmacist turned Certified Health Coach and founder of Nourish Health Coaching. Sara shares her powerful journey from the world of pharmaceuticals, where she once helped cover up symptoms, to discovering the beauty of how our bodies communicate through them.
Sara believes that our symptoms are blessings, our body’s way of signaling that something needs attention, and that our hormones and cycles tell a story of incredible design. Together, Teresa and Sara dive deep into how gut health impacts hormone balance and metabolism, why the food industry makes healthy living so confusing, and how blood sugar monitoring can transform energy and mood for women.
Rooted in her faith and inspired by the whole person, mind, body & spirit, Sara’s mission is clear: to help women feel good in their bodies, restore vitality, and live abundantly as God intended. As a wife, mother of five energetic boys, and passionate health advocate, she reminds us that when women feel better, they do better in every part of life.
Key Takeaways:
How gut health shapes hormone and metabolic balance
Balancing the GUT microbiome, and fixing dysbiosis, is the key to fixing hormones, and so much more
Why symptoms are not enemies but messages to help get to the root of inflammation, and to heal and restore
How to use blood sugar monitoring as a tool for vitality, and longevity

S5 Ep. 31: From Cancer Survivor to Hormone Health Coach: Maddy Pollack’s Journey to Empower Women
Today on The Hormone Genius Podcast, we are so excited to welcome Maddy Pollack—a passionate Integrative Nutrition Health Coach, Hormone Health Coach, and Yoga Instructor who specializes in helping women take control of their menstrual and hormonal health naturally.
Maddy’s journey is incredibly powerful. At just 24 years old, she was diagnosed with Stage 2 Hodgkin’s Lymphoma. That life-altering experience sparked a deep curiosity and commitment to understanding the why behind her illness—and ultimately led her to uncover the often-overlooked connection between nutrition, hormone balance, and emotional wellness.
Now fully in remission, Maddy dedicates her work to guiding women in naturally reducing PMS symptoms, balancing their hormones, releasing stubborn weight, and reconnecting with their bodies—without relying on medication.
In our conversation today, we dive into:
The missing link between traditional medical treatment and nutritional healing
How to naturally regulate your cycle and ease PMS, and heal from PCOS
The impact of stress, gut health, and lifestyle on hormone function
Practical, empowering tips for working with your cycle instead of against it
Maddy brings a compassionate, science-informed approach to wellness, and I know our listeners are going to walk away with so many actionable insights.
