In this episode, Dr. Maame-Mensima Horne (Naturopathic Doctor and Clinical Hypnotherapist) and Health Empowerment Coach Joanna Mickel dive into the often-overlooked connection between stress, trauma, and reproductive health. From conditions like uterine fibroids to endometriosis, they explore how chronic stress—especially unprocessed emotional and cultural stressors—can manifest in the body and disrupt hormonal and reproductive balance.
Drawing from clinical insight and personal experience, they discuss how traditional medicine, nutrition, and mind-body medicine can support healing for individuals navigating reproductive challenges. The conversation also sheds light on the impact of racial, generational, and cultural stress—particularly within communities that are disproportionately impacted by reproductive health concerns.
Whether you're living with a reproductive diagnosis, trying to understand your cycle, or seeking a deeper connection with your body, this episode offers compassionate wisdom, practical tools, and a powerful reminder: your reproductive health is inseparable from your emotional and spiritual well-being.
