The Rooted DC- Reclaim Your Legitimacy

Welcome to The Rooted DC-Reclaim Your Legitimacy

Sun, 14 Jun 2026 22:05:37 GMT

You passed the boards. You opened the practice. You adopted the “fake it till you make it” approach to practice everyone told you to do in school. You did everything right.

And still — there’s this voice that follows you everywhere. It says you’re not quite legitimate. You have to prove something. That you have to work twice as hard to be taken half as seriously. That you’re a third rate doctor who will never have a seat at the table. And the reality is you’re slowly losing your soul to a profession you love but feel let down by.

That voice is a wound the entire profession holds — and very few talk about.

I’m Dr. Alex. I’m a chiropractor, a PhD researcher in organizational development and change, and a practice owner who built a seven-figure practice, lost it all, and am now on a journey of rebuilding it with an entirely new foundation.

The Rooted DC is where we go beneath the surface of chiropractic practice — into the identity questions, the legitimacy wounds, the conflicting values, the gap between who you were trained to be and who you actually are as a practitioner and a person.

This isn’t a clinical skills podcast. It isn’t a business tips show.

It’s about you. The DC who chose this profession on purpose and is looking to reconnect to why that choice still matters.

This is the show where we keep it short, but go deep in talking about the things our profession tends to ignore or sweeps under the rug.

Join me on:

S2E1 What happens when you do everything “right”—and still burn out?

Mon, 02 Feb 2026 17:00:00 GMT

What happens when you do everything “right”—and still burn out?

In this first full episode of The Rooted Practice Podcast, Dr. Alex Swenson-Ridley introduces the core idea behind the show: the practice beneath the practice—the internal foundation that shapes how we lead, work, and sustain ourselves, often without being named or supported.

This episode explores why so many capable, committed practice owners and leaders find themselves exhausted despite external success. Why following the rules, applying the strategies, and doing what you were taught can still lead to burnout—not because you failed, but because the model you were following never included the whole human.

Through reflection, lived experience, and a grounded reframe, this conversation invites you to pause and consider what’s been happening beneath your leadership and your work.

This is not an episode about fixing yourself.

It’s about understanding what’s been missing.

In This Episode, We Explore:

Why burnout isn’t always caused by doing too much
What “the practice beneath the practice” actually means
How leadership, nervous system capacity, and self-worth intersect
Why external success can coexist with deep internal exhaustion
How a different foundation makes sustainable leadership possible

A Personal Reflection

Dr. Alex shares part of her own journey—building a successful practice by every traditional measure, and slowly realizing that something essential was missing. Not as a story of failure, but as context for why so many leaders reach a breaking point while doing exactly what they were taught to do.

This episode is an invitation to see your experience not as a personal shortcoming, but as a signal that a different way of practicing and leading may be needed.

Who This Episode Is For

Practice owners who feel successful on paper but depleted in real life
Leaders questioning whether this is what success is supposed to feel like
Those who’ve outgrown hustle but don’t yet have language for what’s next
Anyone sensing that the real work begins underneath the strategy

A Gentle Invitation

If today stirred something, the Leadership Energy Audit offers a gentle place to reflect, without urgency or expectation.

About the Podcast

The Rooted Practice Podcast explores inside-out leadership, practitioner wellbeing, and building a sustainable, aligned practice rooted in what matters most. Through reflective conversations and evidence-informed insight, this podcast supports leaders who want alignment—not just achievement.

The Rooted Health Practice Trailer

Mon, 26 Jan 2026 18:35:05 GMT

What happens when success no longer feels sustainable?

The Rooted Practice Podcast is a space for practice owners and purpose-driven leaders who are successful on the outside—but quietly exhausted, disconnected, or questioning the way they’ve been taught to lead.

In this short trailer episode, host Dr. Alex Swenson-Ridley introduces the core idea behind the show: the practice beneath the practice—the inner leadership, nervous system patterns, values, identity, and emotional dynamics that shape how we lead, work, and live.

This podcast explores inside-out leadership, practitioner wellbeing, burnout recovery, and building a sustainable, aligned practice rooted in what matters most. Rather than focusing on hustle, productivity, or quick fixes, these conversations invite reflection, regulation, and a different definition of success.

If you’ve outgrown hustle culture…

If leadership feels heavier than it used to…

If you’re ready to stop pushing from the surface and start building from the roots—

You’re in the right place.

Our first two episodes will launch 2/2/26. Come back to listen then!

EP 273 Five Key Steps to Recover from Burnout in 2025

Fri, 10 Jan 2025 00:42:50 GMT

Hello everyone, and welcome back to the show! In this first episode of 2025, I shared my personal journey of overcoming burnout, a topic I've discussed extensively on this podcast. After celebrating my 40th birthday and spending quality time with my family, I felt it was important to revisit this subject, especially as I've recently reached the other side of burnout after a six-year struggle.

I outlined the five most impactful steps that helped me heal from burnout, hoping they can serve as a guide for anyone currently experiencing it. Here are the key takeaways:

Acceptance and Rest: Recognize that you're burned out and give yourself permission to stop pushing. This involves reducing physical, emotional, and mental stress and allowing yourself to rest and recover.
Body Sensation Awareness: Learn to connect with your body's sensations as they are indicators of your emotional state. This can help you understand and address underlying issues contributing to burnout.
HeartMath and Emotional Connection: Utilize HeartMath techniques to connect with positive emotions like love, appreciation, and compassion. This helps in achieving physiological coherence, which is crucial for healing.
Making Time for Yourself: Dedicate time to connect with yourself, feel your emotions, and reflect. This can be through a morning or evening routine, ensuring you have space to process and heal.
Somatic Movement: Engage in somatic movement practices to release stored trauma and stress from your body. This can be particularly effective in the final stages of healing.

I also emphasized the importance of seeking support, whether from a therapist, coach, or understanding friend, and the need to break free from guilt and shame associated with burnout.

For those interested, I mentioned a guide I created to help connect with oneself and start the healing process, which will be available in the show notes. Additionally, I am available for coaching and support if needed.

Remember, healing from burnout is possible, and it requires intentional changes and support. Don't suffer in silence; reach out and take the first step towards a rejuvenated life. Thank you for listening, and I look forward to connecting with you in the next episode.

EP 269 Rooted in Worth: Rewriting Our Conditional Worth Stories With Paulina Równy

Thu, 14 Nov 2024 17:00:00 GMT

In this episode, I had the pleasure of welcoming my dear friend Paulina Równy, a burnout coach originally from Poland, now living in Edinburgh. We shared our personal journeys of healing and self-discovery, particularly focusing on the theme of rewriting our stories of worthiness.

Paulina opened up about her experience with burnout in the corporate world and how she took a year off to reflect and develop her practice. During this time, she faced significant identity challenges, which led to our collaboration on a program called "Rooted in Worth." This program aims to help individuals navigate their own struggles with self-worth and identity, drawing from our shared experiences and insights.

We discussed the impact of familial relationships, particularly the dynamics with our mothers, and how these relationships shaped our perceptions of worthiness. Paulina shared her realization about the disempowering nature of being labeled as "lucky," while I reflected on my own experiences of being a peacekeeper in my family.

Throughout our conversation, we emphasized the importance of acknowledging and embracing our emotions, rather than running from them. We also introduced the concept of our program, which is designed to guide participants through a journey of self-exploration and empowerment, using the metaphor of a tree to illustrate the layers of worthiness we will uncover together.

As we prepare to launch "Rooted in Worth" in January, we invite listeners to join us for introductory sessions to learn more about the program and how it can support their personal growth. This episode is a heartfelt exploration of our journeys and the transformative power of understanding our worth.

EP 268 Finding Balance: How to Manage Multiple Commitments Without Burnout

Thu, 31 Oct 2024 16:00:00 GMT

In this episode, I share some exciting personal updates and invite you to reflect on your own life changes. After starting a master's program in positive psychology and reactivating my chiropractic license, I’m thrilled to return to practice part-time. This journey has been transformative, especially after experiencing burnout in my previous decade of practice.

As I navigate these changes, I’ve decided to adjust the podcast's release schedule. Starting in November, I will be releasing two episodes a month instead of weekly. This shift allows me to focus on the quality of content I provide, ensuring that each episode is meaningful and valuable to you.

I also discuss the importance of balancing commitments without feeling the need to drop everything for new pursuits. Instead of an all-or-nothing approach, I’m embracing a mindset that allows for flexibility and quality in my endeavors. I encourage you to consider where you might be focusing on quantity over quality in your own life and how you can create space for new opportunities without sacrificing what you already have.

Additionally, I invite you to subscribe to my newsletter, the Soul Shift Chronicle (www.emergenthumans.co/subscribe), where I’ll share curated content, including highlights from past episodes and insights from my studies. I would love to hear your feedback on the podcast—what you enjoy, what you’d like to see more of, and how I can better serve you.

EP 259 Redefining Leadership For Women

Thu, 29 Aug 2024 16:00:00 GMT

In this episode, I delve into the concept of leadership and what it truly means to be a leader. This topic was inspired by a recent conversation with a client who was grappling with the traditional, often patriarchal, notions of leadership. Many of us have a stereotypical image of a leader as an assertive, authoritative figure, often embodied by a white male CEO in a power suit. This can make those of us who don't fit that mold feel inadequate or pressured to be someone we're not.

I shared personal stories to illustrate the difference between forcing oneself into a leadership role versus naturally embodying leadership qualities. In high school, I aggressively pursued the role of soccer team captain, which led to a less authentic and more competitive approach. In contrast, years later, I was unexpectedly voted for a Leadership and Entrepreneurship Award in chiropractic school, a recognition that came naturally without me striving for it.

The key takeaway is that true leadership comes from being authentic and connected to our inner strengths and genius. It's about showing up as our true selves rather than conforming to external expectations of what a leader should be. I encourage listeners to reflect on their own leadership roles and identify where they might be forcing themselves to fit a certain image, and instead, find ways to lead authentically.

I also introduced the Women's Leadership Lab, a new initiative launching in September. This hybrid between a mastermind and a membership aims to help women discover and embrace their authentic leadership styles. For more details, listeners can visit emergenthumans.co/links.

I hope this episode inspires you to rethink your approach to leadership and find ease in being your true self in any leadership role you undertake. Join me next week for more insights and a special announcement for our podcast listeners.

EP 258 Healing Hidden Hurts...

Tue, 20 Aug 2024 23:52:37 GMT

In this episode, I delve into the importance of tuning into our emotions and connecting with our hearts. I share my personal journey of realizing how disconnected I was from my feelings and how this disconnection manifested as anxiety and physical symptoms like heartburn. I discuss my recent commitment to a 30-day challenge inspired by HeartMath research, where I spend 30 minutes each day focusing on my emotional landscape.

Throughout the episode, I reflect on my childhood experiences that led me to intellectualize rather than feel my emotions. I talk about the various coping mechanisms I developed, such as overachieving and avoiding conflict, and how these have shaped my adult life. By intentionally connecting with my heart and emotions, I've started to uncover deep-seated habits and childhood wounds.

I encourage listeners to join me in this 30-day challenge, suggesting practical steps like reading a list of emotions daily and paying attention to bodily sensations. I emphasize that connecting with our hearts is a muscle that needs to be developed and that doing so can lead to profound changes in our stress levels, relationships, and overall well-being.

I invite listeners to reach out and share their experiences as we support each other in this journey of emotional exploration and heart connection.

EP 250 Transitioning to New Horizons: The 250th Episode

Thu, 09 May 2024 17:00:00 GMT

As we celebrate our 250th episode we are exploring the theme of personal growth journeys. Sometimes in the process of our next level we outgrow certain aspects of our lives and have to clear space for change.

With the milestone of the 250th episode, I have reached one of those pinnacles where it is time to leave my role of podcast host behind and instead lean into the mediums of writing and becoming a guest rather than a host. It is with a lot of gratitude, a little sadness and a whole lot of excitement that I share the final episode of this show.

Tue, 02 Jan 2024 18:07:06 GMT

Reimagined Trailer

Sat, 30 Dec 2023 15:00:00 GMT

Are you a heart centered woman leader, entrepreneur and visionary who has found yourself burnt out in pursuit of your dreams, achieving success on paper but still feeling unfulfilled, or realizing following all the should’s and supposed to’s of the business world has left you with a business and life you don’t really want or love? This is the podcast for you.

I’m your host Dr. Alex Swenson-Ridley, and I’m on a mission to help heart centered women leaders and entrepreneurs called to serve the world in a big way alter their experience from one of sacrifice and burnout to unadulterated joy and freedom.

If we haven’t met yet, I’m a formerly burnt out chiropractor and 7 figure practice owner known for setting figurative fire to the business that at the height of it’s success became like a prison to me. I learned a lot of hard lessons in the process, including healing from an eventual bankruptcy with that practice as the universe tried to get me to pay attention, layers of trauma from the career and business I was supposed to love, and hitting a rock bottom that ultimately led me to embark on a deep healing journey.

On the other side I found my ability to RISE into an even more powerful and connected version of myself.

I also learned I am not alone in my experience, and Reimagined was born as the show to support other amazing women going through their own uncomfortable growth edges.

Here we give you the inspiration and permission to break all the rules, tap into your intuition, zone of genius and creativity to give you the confidence to do things differently. You will learn tools and hear stories that will inspire you to rejuvenate your spirit, innovate how you lead and do business, strengthen your core identity and connect deeply to yourself so that you emerge as the next powerful version of you on the other side.

Reimagined isn’t just a podcast, it’s also the launching point of a movement I refer to as the RISE. To support the women who listen to this show and who are committed to their own RISE, I host a free community of like minded women off of social media on Circle as a safe space to discuss and implement what you learn here, and most importantly not go it alone.

You’re in the right place if you have the courage to confront what you’ve been told are the keys to success and challenge the status quo. Are you ready to Reimagine your life and business to create what you actually want? And join a community of other women leaders and entrepreneurs doing the same? Let’s dive in!

Thu, 18 May 2023 23:45:00 GMT

EP 220 Career Burnout: How to End Your Overwhelm, Stress Less & Tap Into Your True Purpose

Thu, 11 May 2023 19:45:00 GMT

How do you pivot or leap out of career burnout? We all have our reasons for staying in a career or continuing to pursue a business that is not really serving our fulfillment and well being.

Today's conversation with Suzanne Monroe is a deep dive into how you lead the change, whether it's in staying where you're at or pivoting to what's next, the change begins with each of us.

The change is also required to not continually repeat the patterns of burnout that will inevitably follow if you haven't taken the time to identify them.

This conversation is an absolute must listen, especially if you're feeling burned out in your career.

Suzanne Monroe was working a high pressure job that didn’t align with her personal beliefs, where the corporate culture was to sleep under your desk instead of going home to rest and recharge that led her to experience career burnout. Simultaneously, a close loved one was diagnosed with a health crisis and every doctor told them there was nothing traditional medicine could do to help. This is where her holistic health journey began. She then poured herself into researching, reading, and ultimately helping her loved one turn the corner towards healing, sparking her passion for wellness and inspiring her to leave corporate America and traditional healthcare behind her.

Suzanne, the formerly burnt out corporate America employee, is now doing what she loves as the Founder of The International Association of Wellness Professionals (IAWP), Director of the IAWP’s Holistic Wellness Coach Certification and Training Program, and author. She aims to help people reawaken their purpose and find a career they love, as well as live a healthy and happy lifestyle. Last year alone, she helped reach 11.5 Million people with the message of holistic wellness and living a life you love. She’s also the author of Live Well Dream Big: The Ultimate Guide to Becoming Your Best Self & Living Life On Your Own Terms and the podcast host of Live Well Dream Big.

Thu, 20 Apr 2023 19:15:00 GMT

I recently became aware of just how many women are in careers or own businesses that have left them traumatized, physically and emotionally broken, and feeling like they're trapped with no way out.

This episode is about how we start to heal from that place, how we start to redefine success and the deeper conversation we need to have as professional women in how we redefine our roles and success so that we no longer do life this way.

If this episode either confronts or inspires you, I'd love to hear from you! Send me a message via voice or email at www.iwl.show

EP 215 Empowered Through Divorce with Leah Marie

Tue, 04 Apr 2023 18:30:00 GMT

Divorce is one of those things that can shatter your self confidence, leave you feeling guilty and ashamed and can wreak havoc on your mental and physical health.

On this episode my guest, Certified Divorce Recovery Coach Leah Marie Mazur and I discuss how to walk through the journey of divorce and come out empowered on the other side, no matter the circumstance.

Drawing on her own expereince, Leah Marie shares the steps to becoming empowered through divorce as we both share our own journey's and experiences that have led us to much healthier and happier marriages today.

Leah Marie specializes in helping women release guilt, shame and feelings of failure so that they can find acceptance, rebuild their self confidence, and thrive after divorce. She also provides a safe, judgment free community for women rebuilding after divorce in her private Facebook group called Divorced and Empowered

Episode Transcript:

[01:07] Dr. Alex: Hello. Welcome back to the show. I'm your host. Dr. Alex winson. ridley. I'm really excited to be joined today by leah Marie. I realized I didn't ask her last name, but mazor, who is a certified divorce recovery coach for women and the founder of mindfully Ready, LLC. She specializes in helping women release guilt, shame and feelings of failure so that they can find acceptance, rebuild their self confidence, and thrive after divorce. She also provides a safe, judgment free community for women rebuilding after divorce in her private Facebook group called divorced and Empowered. So, leah, welcome to the show.

[01:46] Leah Marie: Thank you. Thanks for having me.

[01:48] Dr. Alex: Yeah, I'm excited to it's weird to say I'm excited to have this conversation, but I think it's one that is needed for many of us. I know I have been through divorced, I'm in my second marriage, and fortunately that's all going well. But many of my clients and many of our listeners have either been through or are in that place of potentially looking at the experience of divorce. Maybe to start off, I usually start with just kind of asking your story and how you have arrived at doing what you do and then we'll flow from there.

[02:28] Leah Marie: Yeah, I'll go back a little ways. When I was 16, I actually witnessed my mom have an asthma attack in our home and pass away, and she was only 41 years old. And then only five years later, my dad died of pancreatic cancer. So by 21 years old, my parents were gone. I'm an only child, and I really kind of had to just figure everything out on my own. And what I didn't realize at the time was those traumatic losses caused really deep seated abandonment issues. And I had this really big fear of being alone. So I coped with that by basically becoming a serial monogamist. I just hopped from relationship to relationship like they were my buoys to keep me afloat. I just didn't know any other way. And I was afraid to be alone. I didn't know how to do that. So after my second divorce, that was my wake up call where I was like, okay, leah, obviously there's a pattern here. There's something going on. If you really want to find happiness, you're going to have to figure this out. So that's when I faced my fear of being alone, I had to learn how to stand on my own 2ft and I did all that work on myself that really I should have done years before. The therapy, meditation, journaling, gratitude, practice, I mean, all the things to find myself again, rebuild my self confidence and know my worth and be able to feel confident just being alone. And so that changed everything. So I essentially was able to take all of those tools and strategies and create a framework for other women so that they can after divorce, they can learn how to embrace their independence and rebuild their self confidence and know their worth without having to go through all of that trial and error, essentially, that I...

EP 214: How to Navigate the Call to Pivot a Career or Relationship

Thu, 30 Mar 2023 20:26:55 GMT

Have you ever had that moment where you suddenly realize that a career, a relationship or a direction you're going in life isn't right? Maybe you've invested decades, time, energy, money and finally have the epiphany that you're not exactly on the right path.

Today, we're unpacking how to navigate this moment in a powerful way that allows for a leap, even when it's scary and you don't quite know what you're leaping into.

My own recent experience is creating a pivot in the lens and container in which I work with women from health into leadership, personal & professional growth and development. As I pivot, I would absolutely love to pick your brain on your biggest challenges as a female leader.

Dr. Alex: Welcome to the Selfless Syndrome Show, where we help women executives and entrepreneurs rise through Adversity, connect to their intuition, transform their hormones, and get their energy back. This is the show where we go beyond asking how do I treat my symptoms? And instead examine how do I truly heal, transform my hormones, and change my life? We are here to bring you outside the box ideas, interviews, and action steps focused in the areas of health, relationships, and our career, all three of which have a huge impact on our hormones. My name is Dr. Alex Swenson Ridley. I'm your host, mentor, speaker, author, entrepreneur, and thought leader on hormones and work life balance for high achieving women. I'm also a wife, mom, and stepmom to four boys and a verbal. And I'm a woman whose own life experience and journey from Adversity and the resulting hormonal chaos to finding hormonal harmony has led to me helping other women break with convention and find the tools they need to not just survive, but thrive. Ready to dive in? Let's go.

[01:05] Dr. Alex: Have you ever had that moment where you realize, oh ****, I'm not doing the right thing or I'm not in the right relationship or whatever trajectory your life has been on is not the one that you really honestly are supposed to be on? If we haven't met, I'm Dr. Alex. Welcome back to The Show, a show that is probably going to change names here soon. But I wanted to unpack this moment where we feel the call to pivot because I've been through several of them in my life and just recently had a new one occur. And so I'm going to just kind of share what that journey has been like for me and invite you to look for or to tune into, especially if you've felt this call before and maybe have ignored it. Because pivots are scary and sometimes they are outside of what we have thought or identified ourselves at for our entire lives. And they can be something that we want to ignore because it's easier and stepping into the unknown is really uncomfortable. And I've had moments happen like this one in my marriage, one, my first marriage, one in I built actually a seven figure business and realized it wasn't what I wanted to be doing. And then I again in business just this last week had another moment where it was like, I'm not doing it's. It's not that I don't want to be an entrepreneur and don't want to be in business, but I definitely have not been doing the right thing. And in realizing that, I realized that's why business has been a struggle and I haven't really gotten things off the ground. And I've stopped doing a bunch of things that didn't feel authentically, like fitting what I me and what I wanted to be doing and creating. But I hadn't really taken the time to slow down and actually get to the root of...

[00:01] Dr. Alex: Today's conversation is one of those that transpires when you find two kindred spirits who have similar but different journeys and have learned a lot of stuff along the way. Today I am joined by Amy Arner, who is otherwise known as the Boss Mama. She's a seasoned registered nurse, wife and boy mom who became a certified trauma, informed life and business coach, hypnotherapist and human design guru in order to help other multipassionate women break free from the generational patterns, beliefs, and habits, robbing them of peace, confidence, and success they crave in their relationships, careers, and motherhood. And I have to say, our conversation is one that I hope serves and inspires you on many levels. We get into things that we don't normally talk about in the healing space, including spirituality and inner work, and how you really start to make that shift away from looking outside yourself to first looking within yourself, which, if you've been listening to the show for long enough, you know, I argue is key to us really, truly healing. So I hope you enjoy and let's dive in.

EP 212 Why Community is Important in Healing Hormones

Tue, 14 Mar 2023 15:21:00 GMT

How strong is your support network of close friends that you can be open and real with? Personally, this is an area I've struggled with a lot as a career driven woman. Community is also something that plays a huge role in our over all health and hormone balance.

This episode unpacks why community is so important to our hormones and gives you some things to think about to strengthen your own community. I also share some new things I'm working on and am really excited about because they focus on community at the core of our healing journey.

Episode Transcript:

[00:00] So I don't know about you, but I have struggled through my adult life to maintain close friendships and relationships and community among other women.

[00:11] And I've been thinking about this a.

[00:13] Lot lately because this is also a significant part of having balance and having our hormones work. And we're going to unpack what that means today. But I also think that for those of us who identify as high achievers, we're driven and we're always after the next thing. That's a lot of what being a high achiever is about. It can be hard to prioritize friendship because we're already stretched so thin in our careers and in our personal and family lives. And so it's something that gets missed.

[00:52] Welcome to The Selfless Syndrome Show, where we help women executives and entrepreneurs rise through Adversity, connect to their intuition, transform their hormones, and get their energy back. This is the show where we go beyond asking how do I treat my symptoms? And instead examine how do I truly heal, transform my hormones, and change my life? We are here to bring you outside the box ideas, interviews, and action steps focused in the areas of health, relationships, and our career, all three of which have a huge impact on our hormones. My name is Dr. Alex Swenson Ridley. I'm your host, mentor, speaker, author, entrepreneur, and thought leader on hormones and work life balance for high achieving women. I'm also a wife's, mom, and stepmom to four boys and a furball. And I'm a woman whose own life experience and journey from Adversity and the resulting hormonal chaos to finding hormonal harmony has led to me helping other women break with convention and find the tools they need to not just survive, but thrive. Ready to dive in? Let's go.

[01:53] What I started to see and really have recognized, especially when I was writing my book on Selfless Syndrome that came out in January, is that we're missing this really important component that we were designed to be in relationship with others and in community. And I'm not talking about the pandemic or pre or being introverted or extroverted or that has nothing to do with any of this. There is something that we gain from being in relationship with others, particularly peers and those who we can relate to in a peer way. Women who get us and understand us, that actually helps us to de escalate from stress. We as women, go through something called tend and befriend. And the way I think about this is I'm going to tell you to share a little story here that I actually shared in my book. But I grew up in Vermont, which is actually where I'm recording this because I'm here helping my mom recover from a pelvic. Broken pelvis. But when I was a kid, we would go out and go hiking all the time. And there was a stay where we were driving to what was my favorite.

EP 211 Beyond Nutrition & Exercise - What Really Drives Behavior Change with Olly Wood

Tue, 07 Mar 2023 17:00:00 GMT

Is pain driving your desire for lifestyle change? Most of us only change something when there is pain associated with what we have been doing. But according to my podcast guest today, if this is your only driver, no changes you make will be sustainable. You’re also missing some essential keys that will make the difference in your success. I’m joined by the founder of the internationally known MetaProject Olly Wood, who is a former personal trainer who became fascinated by what drives behavioral change.

On this episode we cover the components that drive behavior change that go far beyond nutrition and exercise and get into the specifics of weight loss, hormones, body betrayal, intermittent fasting and so much more for high achieving women.

Oliver got his start in the trenches of the health world as a PT in a big box gym. After 7 years of working with primarily high-performing business owners he saw the extent to which stress, inflammation, and a lack of focus on recovery was ruining any progress they were making, and, worse still, was leaving them burnt out and unproductive mentally as well. Rather than simply encouraging high-performers to do more and work harder, Olly has worked with world-leading experts in exercise, nutrition, biochemistry, and coaching, such as Brian Walsh, The Poliquin Group, Kassem Hanson, Ben Pukulski, Linh Trinh, and Cliff Harvey, among others, to develop a more holistic, scientific, and sustainable approach to health and performance.

If you’re in that place of deep introspection after this episode, I’d also like to invite you to connect with me for our weekly newsletter on LinkedIn or through email. I did deeper into topics like this in the written form every Wednesday.

EP 210 Omega 3's For Our Health and the Health of Our Oceans with Corinna Bellizzi

Tue, 28 Feb 2023 22:15:00 GMT

Are you taking an omega 3 supplement regularly? And if so, are you sure of the quality? Or the impact that the production of that omega 3 supplement has on our oceans, fish and environment?

Omega 3’s are one of those essential nutrients that we can’t make in our body, but are incredibly important to many functions in our body. Today I’m joined by Omega 3 expert Corinna Bellizzi from Orlo Nutrition, a company that stands for not just getting omega 3’s into our system, but also for doing it in a way that is sustainable and leaves the smallest carbon footprint possible.

I honestly learned a lot recording this episode and am excited to share it with you. Especially as I’ve been watching my husband’s organization fight to put fishing limits on the coastal regions of Alaska in an effort to increase salmon populations again for the entire ecosystem of oceans, rivers and tribal subsistence fishing.

Ready to dive in to not just something we need to be healthy ourselves, but also a really great discussion on how to get it in a way that is sustainable and helps our oceans be healthy too?

That's what this conversation is all about!

Corinna Bellizzi is a sustainability and omega-3 expert who successfully pioneered the fish oil giant, Nordic Naturals, and a cutting edge algae-based omega-3 brand, Örlö Nutrition, that features the world’s first carbon-negative omega-3s.

Corinna is a successful podcaster herself in the sustainability and nutrition space being the host of Nutrition Without Compromise, having reached the top 10% of all podcasts globally in only 3 months, and has been covered in the press from INVERSE to Forbes.

EP 208 Troubleshoot Your Working Zone of Genius

Tue, 14 Feb 2023 20:23:00 GMT

Do you know what your zone of genius is? That place where time stands still, your energy is up and you're "in flow"? I recently had a big breakthrough and shift in recognizing my own zone of genius, and also recognizing how little time I've actually allowed myself to spend there, especially in my entrepreneurial career.

This episode is about not just discovering your own, but also finding the permission you need to allow yourself to spend more time in your own zone of genius.

Wed, 01 Feb 2023 18:12:00 GMT

EP 202-How Adaptable Are You?

Tue, 03 Jan 2023 20:33:00 GMT

How do you react when things happen that are beyond your control? I’ve been giving this a lot of thought since, thanks to weather airport shutdowns, I unexpectedly spent my 38th birthday (Christmas Eve) and Christmas all alone. We can’t control our circumstances, but we have a choice in how we show up inside them.

On today’s podcast episode, I’m taking this a step further into unearthing how circumstances you can’t control may or may not be impacting your goals for the new year. In other words, are you setting goals out of a reaction or truly from a place of creation?

Tue, 20 Dec 2022 20:35:00 GMT

EP 199-Get Your Sparkle Back: Transforming Menopause with Alison Bladh

Tue, 06 Dec 2022 21:43:00 GMT

Do you tend to relate to menopause as somehow being the end? The end of enjoying sex, the end of feeling like yourself, the end of having a waist? While many of us in the western world relate to menopause as something that is far from joyful, it is entirely possible to not just survive, but thrive through the transition into our “age of wisdom”. I am joined for this conversation today by Alison Bladh, a registered nutritional therapist and beauty therapist living in the wilds of Sweden.

Having worked in the health and wellness industry for over 30 years specializing in menopausal women’s health she now runs her own online clinic helping women worldwide manage the negative symptoms of menopause. Her mission is to support her clients with bespoke changes to diet, health, and lifestyle so they can harness their hormones and get their confidence and sparkle back.

She believes that all women, no matter what age, deserve to reclaim their health and feel great. Life is too short to suffer symptoms that hold you back! Every woman has the right to feel and look amazing in midlife.

EP 198-The Missing Piece To Your Happiness and Fulfillment With Karyn Seitz

Tue, 29 Nov 2022 20:34:00 GMT

Are you waiting for something to come along or to happen so that you can finally be happy and fulfilled? Many of us spend a lifetime chasing this elusive thing called happiness and fulfillment, but struggle to find it in the things we usually look to. My conversation today with the Happiness Mentor Karyn Seitz dives deep into how we actually cultivate happiness and fulfillment in our lives, regardless of our circumstances.

As a former spiritual healer, Karyn realized her clients were not getting better. She was

frustrated that she could not deliver the results her clients wanted even though she was trying lots of different healing modalities and coaching techniques.

Karyn knew she also wasn’t getting the changes she wanted in her life. She secretly lacked any confidence in her ability to change. Her adult life had stalled.

In a fresh new search for answers, Karyn found the missing piece that would ultimately

transform her life and her clients. There is something very profound in owning that she is the

problem in her life. This awareness pushed her to confront herself and get serious about herself and her life.

Karyn is now fulfilled in her life and teaches others the same journey she has taken to find

herself and be happy.

Karyn calls herself The Happiness Mentor and teaches an online happiness course for women called Awakened Grace.

In other words, the whole day/week/year goes to hell in a handbasket? In this episode, I’m unpacking how to finally break the cycle of self-sabotage and a lack of motivation.

EP 195-Healing Addiction and Trauma Through Somatic and Indigenous Mental Health Practices with Dr. Constance Scharff

Tue, 08 Nov 2022 21:10:00 GMT

Addiction, trauma, and struggles with mental health are something a large portion of our population struggles with. The treatment options that have been available in the past also have varying results. Today I’m joined by addiction and trauma expert and outside-the-box thinker Dr. Constance Scharff for a discussion on combining western knowledge of addiction and trauma healing with somatic and indigenous healing practices.

Dr. Scharff is an award-winning, bestselling author. She has published three books. Her most recent is Rock to Recovery: Music as a Catalyst for Human Transformation, published in 2021 by Around the Way Publishing. That book won a National Indie Excellence Award, received a GOLD Award in the Nonfiction Book Awards, and an Award of Distinction in the 28th Communicator Awards. She also wrote the Amazon #1 best-selling Ending Addiction for Good and an award-winning poetry book, Meeting God at Midnight. Dr. Scharff writes regularly for several blogs and websites, including Psychology Today, where her articles have received more than one and a quarter million views. Her book reviews can be found in the New York Journal of Books.

In her role as an addiction researcher, Dr. Scharff brings the latest in evidence-based addiction treatment information to those who suffer worldwide from addiction and trauma. She has spoken at conferences and shared information with researchers and mental health professionals in Europe, North and South America, the Middle East, Asia, Oceania, and Africa. Her goal is to eliminate the stigma that is too often associated with addiction and other mental health disorders, so that individuals in need of care will be able to receive that support and lead productive, fulfilling lives. In 2019, she received St. Lawrence University’s Sol Feinstone Humanitarian Award for her advocacy and work on behalf of those with mental health and substance abuse issues.

EP 194-Do You Have a Tendency to Rush Through Things and Blow Right Past Your Capacity?

Tue, 01 Nov 2022 21:30:00 GMT

Do you have a tendency to rush through things in an effort to get them done and off your list? This is a trap I’ve seen myself and every single high-achieving woman I’ve worked with struggle with. We don’t have any kind of radar for what giving something 100% is, because we only know somewhere around 120%-150%. And while that’s not always a bad thing (in certain exceptional situations), I know I have a tendency to apply that kind of thinking to EVERYTHING in my life.

And as I learned the past couple of weeks, if you try to rush things like deep trauma healing and work, you blow right past the capacity of what you can handle and end up sick, injured or both so you actually slow down and listen. It’s a tale as old as time, and this week I’m unpacking my latest lesson in falling into this high achiever pattern of doing life on this week’s episode of the Selfless Syndrome Show.

I also wrote about this in our brand-new newsletter that went out today. Writing is one of my gifts that I’m tapping back into more in the form of email missives and (dare I say it) a new book!

EP 190-What Do You Do When Your Pants Suddenly Don't Fit?

Tue, 04 Oct 2022 21:29:00 GMT

Three years ago I woke up one day, pulled on my favorite pair of pants, and realized I couldn’t button them. I tried the next pair. Same thing. A few minutes later I was left staring at a pile of pants that had fit me just fine the week before, wondering what the heck just happened?

On today’s episode of the Selfless Syndrome show, I unpack what I’ve learned on my own journey, and watched the journeys of my clients as I evolved from focusing solely on functional medicine to truly focusing on healing on not just a physical level but also an emotional level, led to the birth of the Hormone Transformation Roadmap.

EP 187-Master Your Self Talk With Sharon Natoli

Wed, 14 Sep 2022 00:44:00 GMT

How’s your self-talk? As women, we are capable of thinking some pretty terrible things about ourselves. Today I am joined by author and coach Sharon Natoli for a deep conversation on how to truly take control of and transform your self-talk.

Sharon is the author of Find Your Voice - Speak up & Be Heard by Mastering Your Self Talk (coming in 2022) and the Founder of the Self Talk Mastery program. With an inspiring, engaging, and thought-provoking style, she talks about what gets in the way of speaking up.

She challenges audiences to go deeper to reveal the levers that will shift them from being a spectator in life, to directly influencing the result by finding their voice and speaking to be heard. Sharon believes when individuals are freer to express themselves, their influence grows, personal power builds and they can get on with making the difference they were born to make.

EP 186-What to Do When You Feel Like You're Failing

Tue, 06 Sep 2022 22:22:00 GMT

You know that moment when you recognize you’ve got far too much going on and something has to give? For the majority of us, the thing that gives is something we’re wanting to do for OURSELVES. And that leaves us feeling even more overwhelmed and like we’ve failed. Today’s episode does a deep dive into moving past this and how to shift our focus to what we really actually need, so that we’re in a position to take on more WITHOUT overwhelm and stress.

Below are the questions and three parts to the exercise I outlined in this episode:

Part 1 Journaling Topics:

What are two things you can do daily to feed your mind?

What are two things you can read in the next 90 days to feed your mind?

What are two things you can do daily to feed your body with less stress?

What are your goals and aspirations for your health for the next 6 months?

Part 2 Journaling topics:

Write down 1-3 times when you let your emotions get the best of you and you were angry, depressed, enraged, etc.

Write down what emotions/actions you could have had/taken instead.

Make a list of lousy thoughts you find yourself using on a daily basis that could trigger lower-level emotions.

Make a list of empowering words or phrases you can put in place of those lousy ones.

EP 184-Female Leader Burnout and the Great Resignation

Tue, 23 Aug 2022 23:26:00 GMT

Earlier this year Gallup magazine reported the gender gap in burnout nearly doubled during the two years of the pandemic and shifting working environments. And Forbes declared the last two years the “Great Resignation” with 40% of women looking for a new employer (or leaving corporate to start a business) citing burnout as the main reason. While burnout has clearly risen for women in the past two years, simply switching jobs, or even launching a business isn’t necessarily the answer to healing. In today’s episode, I share three things you need to consider before making any big changes to escape burnout.

If you’re one of the rising numbers of women leaders experiencing burnout, there are two things you can do to help with burnout RIGHT NOW:

Listen to this episode in its entirety.

Consider joining a Women Leaders’ Burnout Round Table-an intimate video chat about our lives and health, what we're working on, and how we can support each other. This is about building community among women not only broadly, but deeply.

EP 179-The Body Joyful-Moving Past Body Dysmorphia and Negativity With Ann Poirer

Tue, 19 Jul 2022 22:49:00 GMT

How’s your body image and self-talk? For most women I know it’s incredibly critical and negative towards ourselves. Today I’m joined by Body Joyful author, coach, and all-around amazing human Ann Poirer for an in-depth conversation about how we can tangibly start to shift our body image conversation in our heads.

Having overcome her own eating, food, weight, and body image challenges and drawing upon close to 4 decades of experience, specialized training, and advanced certifications, Anne Poirer created the Body Joyful Solution and wrote ‘The Body Joyful’ to share her highly personal and life-changing journey. Anne is a Certified Intuitive Eating Counselor and Body Confidence Coach, Self-Talk Trainer, Eating Disorder Specialist, and Author.

Anne is the Founder of Shaping Perspectives, A Woman’s Way to Joy, and the leader of the Body Joyful Revolution Community. An online source of support, encouragement, and inspiration for women of all sizes, shapes, and weights. This group of women is committed to rejecting society’s thin ideal, and diet culture so they can feel more comfortable and confident in their bodies and selves.

Together this “revolution” is on a mission to reduce body shaming, bullying weight stigmatization, and disordered eating and help prevent Eating Disorders.

She is the mother of two adult daughters and lives along the coast in Maine with her husband Tim. Among her favorite self-care activities are walking on the beach, capturing sunrises on her camera, collecting and sharing sand dollars, dancing, hula hooping, and journaling.

EP 178-What Drives You?

Tue, 12 Jul 2022 22:29:00 GMT

What drives you? This week I’m unpacking this question on a deep level. Having worked with other busy, high-achieving women for a few years now, I’ve come to the conclusion that our own addictive tendencies are often rooted in being addicted to stress and being driven to success to avoid dealing with the parts of our lives that are painful and feels unsafe.

We use our drive and our successes as a way to hide from our trauma, pain, or our own sense of lack of worth and keep ourselves safe by pushing to new heights, all while not wholly being engaged in our own lives.

EP 177-How to Navigate Mid Life Burnout with Intentionality Towards Our Health With Angel Shannon

Tue, 05 Jul 2022 22:31:00 GMT

Today’s episode is a deep dive into closing the gap between the things we “know” about what we need to do for our health and actually doing it. This discussion is specific to the concept of burnout, which is both on the rise in those ages 40-60 and affects far more women than men. I’m joined by a nurse practitioner and founder of Seva Health and the Seva Institute Angel V. Shannon to dive into what do we do if we find ourselves in mid-life, burnt out, and asking “what’s next?”

Angel V. Shannon MS, CRNP is a personal development keynote speaker, board-certified nurse practitioner, and founder of Seva Health and The Seva Institute. Her inspiring presentations are drawn from over two decades of clinical practice and a lifetime study of integrative health and mind-body medicine. Her engaging workshops and seminars teach people how to intentionally create a foundation of specific health practices that will help them achieve better health and continuous personal improvement in every area of their lives.

Angel doesn't just talk about mind-body medicine, she lives it. As a student of T’ai Chi Chuan and having received her teaching certification in Hatha yoga, she is a pioneer in weaving both wisdom traditions into her clinical and private coaching practice. In 2019, she founded the Seva Institute to bring these ancient contemplative practices into the corporate environment by leading corporate workshops in mindfulness-based stress reduction to help participants overcome work-related stress, develop inner resilience and foster a culture of embodied leadership.

A graduate of the University of Maryland and a member of the American College of Lifestyle Medicine, Angel’s talks, teaching, and clinical practice are always one part science and one part storytelling as she shares the inspiring stories of the many people she's helped successfully lose weight, reverse chronic illnesses and rescue their mental health to reach peak performance in their lives. In addition to managing her busy clinical and coaching practice, Angel is the host of Healthy House Calls With Angel, a podcast filled with tips, tools, and strategies to live longer and live better with lifestyle medicine.

Tue, 17 May 2022 22:57:00 GMT

Today I’m joined by functional fertility expert English Goldsborough for a conversation that really spans beyond fertility to balancing hormones and helping your body work correctly in general.

EP 169-Do You Trust Yourself?

Tue, 10 May 2022 22:32:00 GMT

Do you intellectualize and overanalyze your feelings rather than just…allow yourself to FEEL them? I shared this conversation in my free group last week and felt it was important enough to share here as well. In discussing this with others, I’ve found it can be a common difficulty among busy women to ignore, move past, or analyze our feelings rather than just feeling them. In the world of neuroscience, thoughts are the emotions of the brain and feelings are the emotions of the body. In order to be healthy, the two must move towards coherence. So the question posed in this episode: do you trust yourself? Do you allow yourself to feel? And how connected are you between your brain and your heart?

EP 168-Food, Sex, Money & Perfectionism with Dr. Dawn Dalili, ND

Tue, 03 May 2022 22:55:00 GMT

What do food, sex, money, and perfectionism have in common? Or have to do with our health? Actually, a whole heck of a lot. Today’s conversation with naturopathic doctor Dawn Dalili gets into all of these things, as well as how we start to move towards letting go of perfectionism and finding healing in all of these areas and more.

Dr. Dalili helps women overcome hormone-related issues such as PMS, anxiety/depression, fatigue, and weight.

EP 165-Aligning Yourself to Move The Needle

Tue, 12 Apr 2022 22:32:00 GMT

Do you struggle to give yourself permission to take things off your plate? Especially things that maybe aren’t serving you or helping you progress towards major goals? Sometimes we don’t even realize how much freedom and relief is available if we would just give ourselves permission to remove, or even just reduce a commitment or activity we have on our plate. Today I’m sharing my own recent experience with this and giving you some practical tips on taking creating more space for the things that really serve you right now without having to feel like you’re letting yourself or someone else down. Sometimes less is more.

EP 164-Lifestyle Medicine & Hormones with Functional Nurse Practitioner Christa Elza

Thu, 07 Apr 2022 22:44:00 GMT

Today’s conversation with Functional Nurse Practitioner Christa Elza bridges the gap between western medicine and lifestyle diseases–which are what most of us are experiencing with hormone imbalances, difficulty losing weight, and more. This episode will help you navigate the world or what’s within your control with your health and how you start to access feeling better and truly healing.

Christa graduated with a Bachelor of Science in Nursing in 2000. She was immediately drawn to Emergency Medicine and was a trauma nurse for 8 years. She was able to experience working in this field in hospitals around the country including New York City and Norfolk, Virginia.

Christa earned her Master's Degree in Nursing from Texas State University in 2018 and is a board-certified nurse practitioner in Family Practice Medicine. She was the sole practitioner in a clinic specializing in weight loss, hormone balance, and aesthetics. During this time she realized the toolbox of what she could offer for health solutions was too limited for how she wanted to serve her patients. She wanted a better way to help women achieve lasting health results. With that vision in mind, Christa began her journey with the School of Applied Functional Medicine, learning the root cause approach to personalized healthcare.

In August of 2020, Christa launched her virtual health practice, Elive Health, and is now able to provide help to women around the country via webcam. As a functional-medicine expert, she specializes in clinically investigating underlying factors of fatigue, hormone balance, thyroid issues, digestive issues, and more. Christa uses breakthrough diagnostic testing that’s rarely done in conventional settings to uncover the hidden causes of why women feel the way they feel.

In her free time, you can find Christa spending time with her husband of 17 years, Jon, their 3 boys, + her golden retriever, Tori. She is now living in the San Antonio, TX area and loves being outdoors, skiing, traveling, hanging out poolside, + spending time with friends.

EP 162-How to Start Sleeping and Feeling Rested Again With Amisha Klawonn

Thu, 31 Mar 2022 23:14:00 GMT

At some point, we all hit a point where sleep becomes a struggle. Be it the journey with small children, perimenopause, and aging, the state of the world, or something else can impact our sleep. It also has a host of negative effects on our hormones and overall health. And can be very frustrating to try to get back. Today I’m joined by Embodiment and Sleep Coach Amish Klawonn for an in-depth conversation about sleep, specific to busy, driven women.

Amisha Klawonn is an Embodiment & Sleep Coach, Yoga Therapist, and Integrative Physical Therapist currently living and working in Fort Collins, CO. Her areas of focus as a Coach are sleep, wellness, whole body living, and manifesting. Her focus as an Integrative PT are visceral mobilization and holistic care for the whole person.

As a Coach, she is trained in Women’s Health, Hormones, and polyvagal theory and application. She works with individuals one on one and in groups to help guide them to their best versions of themselves. She empowers individuals to create their visions for their lives, igniting a transformation from the inside out.

Amisha has extensively mentored and studied in the fields of chronic pain and spinal rehabilitation and whole-body wellness.

When she isn’t coaching, training or learning, she is spending time with her husband, son, and black lab mix usually hiking, doing yoga, or walking around the lake. She’s also rewiring her brain to play the guitar and frequently spends time with the horses in her area.

EP 160-Getting past scammy weight loss when literally nothing else has worked with Lia Pinelli

Thu, 24 Mar 2022 22:44:00 GMT

I loved today’s conversation with Lia Pinelli around what’s missing in the “weight loss” world and truly healing our mindset and relationship with food. If you struggle with chronically dieting, food taking up a large portion of your mental brain space, having tried everything to lose weight and not seeing any results, overeating, undereating, etc. this conversation is for you.

Lia is one smart cookie. Despite holding degrees from both Stanford and UC Berkeley she was unable to crack the code on her struggle with overeating for decades. In 2016 she began life coach training and learned how to stop overeating using principles and practices rooted in psychology and neuroscience. She is now on a mission to help women take back their lives from outdated patriarchal norms by first ending their battle with food and weight so they can focus on what really matters– their careers, kids, communities, and lives. She now teaches women how to stop overeating by increasing pleasure and liberating them to create the lives they crave, unapologetically. Obsessed with Lizzo, bad feminism, and Real Housewives, you can count on her to have a cocktail in her hand and a good story on her tongue. Fiercely committed to changing the trajectory for the next generation of girls by helping their mothers and mentors end overeating and feel good in their own skin, Lia lives in California with her husband, son, and a dog named Taco.

EP 159-Redefining Failure

Tue, 22 Mar 2022 22:38:00 GMT

Have you ever failed at something? I certainly have. And while it wasn’t fun to go through, it has allowed me to grow, learn and evolve into the person, practitioner, and human that I am today. However, for many, the prospect or experience of failure will stop them in their tracks, keep them stuck, or play small when they are capable of so much more.

Today I unpack and reframe how we approach failure and dive into how failure is actually necessary for our success. This applies to any area of life, and I share from some of my own experiences with failure that I haven’t talked about so transparently before.

The book I mention and read a quote from is A Happy Pocket Full of Money by David Cameron Gikandi.

EP 155-What Immunity Really Means & The One Benefit to the Pandemic

Tue, 08 Mar 2022 21:28:00 GMT

A few weeks ago I had a bit of a soapbox moment when NPR published an article about natural immunity following some “new” data around COVID. I’ll save my sarcastic comments. Having had a nasty (non-COVID) cold the last week myself, I thought it was as good a time as any to revisit what immunity really is, how we can improve or lose it, and what it truly means to be healthy.

EP 153-Protecting Our Mental Health in Times of Uncertainty

Tue, 01 Mar 2022 21:42:00 GMT

Since 2020 mental health needs have increased dramatically as fear and uncertainty have led to an influx of anxiety and depression among all ages. Even I experienced the signs of anxiety as we moved further into the pandemic last year. As we started another crisis affecting the entire world last week, I decided today was a good day to dive into the importance of protecting our own mental health (not in ignorance, but in knowing our own needs) in the coming weeks and months.

EP 152-Nose to Tail Eating, Finding Time to Cook and SO Much More With Chef James Barry

Thu, 24 Feb 2022 21:34:00 GMT

When is the last time you ate organ meat? Ie heart, kidneys, lungs, liver, etc? Not even 100 years ago, organs were eaten far more often than they are today. They also provide a host of nutrients and health benefits that are missing from our daily nutrition today. I’m joined by Chef James Barry who has a plethora of information to share about not just eating nose to tail, but also how to start bringing home cooking, a renewed relationship with food and meals back into your home. We also dive deep into how to encourage picky kid eaters to expand their habits and find the time and joy in eating and cooking again.

James Barry’s 16 + years in the culinary field started as a private chef cooking for celebrities such as Tom Cruise, Mariska Hargitay, George Clooney, Gerard Butler, Sean “Puffy” Combs, Barbra Streisand, and John Cusack. Most recently, James launched his first functional food product, Pluck, an organ-based, all-purpose seasoning. It's the first of its kind and an amazingly easy and delicious way for people to get organ meats into their diet.

James is also a published cookbook author having co-authored the recipes in Margaret Floyd’s book Eat Naked and co-authored the follow-up cookbook The Naked Foods Cookbook. He most recently co-authored the recipes in Dr. Alejandro Junger’s book, Clean 7.

EP 151-When is the last time you took time to celebrate?

Tue, 22 Feb 2022 21:28:00 GMT

On Feb 10th, Emerge hit 2 years, 150 episodes, and close to 75 interviews with women’s health and leadership thought leaders from all over the world. I almost skipped over saying anything about it or celebrating, because that’s just what I normally do! Today I unpack a little bit of that mindset that keeps us from celebrating our accomplishments and share some of the milestones I’ve hit in the podcasting world in the past two years. It’s a short but sweet encouragement to all of us not to forget to celebrate, even when it seems like something small!

We all have negative narratives that run our lives, especially as women.

EP 122-The Ugly Side of Body Image & How We Use It To Hide From Who We Really Are

Tue, 16 Nov 2021 21:38:00 GMT

How we view ourselves, compare ourselves to others and engage in social media to contribute to those things can be so ugly, disheartening, and detrimental to our psyche, well-being, and who we really are in the world. An incident two weeks ago really upset and challenged me to do some deep thinking about body image and how we allow ourselves to hide based on external factors. I encourage everyone to listen, go deep on this with me, and share it because we absolutely need to transform this conversation and stop hiding who we really are based on an external view of ourselves.

EP 116-My Experience With The Daily Coffee Enema Challenge

Tue, 26 Oct 2021 17:30:00 GMT

At the beginning of October, I decided to take on what I’m calling the “Daily Coffee Enema Challenge”. Today I’m sharing my experience with this practice, including some of the history behind WHY you would want to do it, and how you actually go about making it a part of your routine.

Most people don’t realize this practice has actually been around since 1500 BC and got its start in western medicine helping soldiers in World War I with managing their pain levels.

Part of this exploration was inspired by my interview with Eileen Durfee on Episode 109, who has been doing daily coffee enemas for years. You can catch that interview on any podcast platform and also download my coffee enema guide here.

EP 111-All Things intermittent Fasting with Laurie Lewis

Thu, 07 Oct 2021 17:30:00 GMT

I had some thoughts and opinions about Intermittent Fasting that were changed by this interview with Intermittent Fasting Coach Laurie Lewis. Even if you’ve been practicing it for a while, I promise you can learn something.

For Intermittent Fasting Coach and Author, Laurie Lewis, menopause dealt a crushing blow -- brain fog, lack of balance, memory loss, and the sudden gain of 50 pounds of stubborn hormonal fat. She tried everything she knew to feel better, and the methods that worked in the past made no difference. After four years of struggle, Laurie stumbled upon Intermittent Fasting and started fasting that very same day. The menopausal fog lifted in less than one week, she had more energy and felt more “like herself.” She lost 51 pounds in 15 months and has kept it off for years!

Now, at 57-years old, Laurie has turned her personal success into the premier thriving Intermittent Fasting coaching business. As a certified health coach (Institute for Integrative Nutrition) she combines her knowledge of nutrition with deep research and practice of Time Restricted Eating. Laurie guides her clients with a dream come true -- eat the foods you love and enjoy the rest of your life feeling vibrantly well.

EP 102-Is Your Language Keeping You Stuck?

Tue, 07 Sep 2021 17:30:00 GMT

How aware are you of the words you use on a daily basis? We aren’t often aware of how our language impacts us subconsciously. There is power in language, and there is also sabotage. Do words like “try”, “maybe” or other non-committal words ultimately lead to taking your power away and keeping you stuck? Today I unpack the power of our language and explain how this idea led to renaming the show.

EP 99-Burnout & A Low Libido with Dr. Renee Wellenstein, the Libidoologist

Thu, 26 Aug 2021 17:30:00 GMT

Are you designing your life to thrive long-term or on the fast track to burnout? So many of us in the world of “high performance” set ourselves up for the crash that inevitably will come when we ignore ourselves and push too hard. I’m joined by women’s burnout and libido expert Dr. Renee Wellenstein for a deep conversation on how to interrupt the cycle, stop “shoulding” ourselves, discover ourselves again, improve energy and reignite our libido.

Dr. Renee is a double board-certified doctor who has been working with women for over 20 years and due to her own personal health challenges, she stepped outside the box of conventional medicine to take a radically different approach to heal herself from the deep depths of burnout.

About a decade ago, Dr. Renee was living what she thought was her dream life; she was an extremely busy Ob/Gyn, married to a doctor, with toddler twins, and had moved to a quaint, quiet town in the country. One day in May 2012, Dr. Renee fell off of her horse during a riding lesson and broke her back. She not only struggled with severe back pain, but with fatigue and the inability to focus. Her doctor diagnosed her with depression, but her symptoms did not improve after trying two different antidepressants.

Two years after her injury, Dr. Renee was still struggling with unexplained symptoms. After exhausting all of her options in the conventional healthcare system, she was put in contact with a doctor who was an “anti-aging” practitioner. She finally received the appropriate diagnosis, her symptoms resolved and she got back on her feet and joined the world of functional medicine. In August 2019, Dr. Renee started Kaspira Elite Health Consulting, LLC. Throughout her journey, she has certainly faced her fair share of obstacles and has mastered the art of leaping into transitions with each pivot. Now Dr. Renee empowers women to take control of their health, jumpstart their energy, improve their confidence, and reignite their libido!

EP 98-Let's Have A Raw Conversation Around Vaccines

Tue, 24 Aug 2021 17:30:00 GMT

With the Pfizer FDA approval coming through yesterday, the rise in the delta variant increased conversation around mandatory workplace vaccines, and New York City’s recent changes, I felt it was time to share some information and my own opinion with you. An opinion that may differ from either side of the vaccine conversations happening out there. This episode is NOT meant as any kind of medical advice, a political stance, or here to shame anyone for their choices.

My position has always been to spark taking a proactive role in our own health and this conversation is no exception. It is designed to inspire some deep thinking, help you understand your own body and immune system, and give some helpful advice around how to best support your body regardless of your vaccination status.

EP 94-The Curse of Being a High Performing Woman

Tue, 10 Aug 2021 17:30:00 GMT

How do you define being a high performer? So many of us base performance on busyness. How many things can we fit on our plate or balls can we juggle in the air? Too many of us focus on the “stuff” and not the results that we’re producing. This week I unpack shifting our perspective on what high performance actually means and moving into focusing on the results we produce and not the stuff we’re capable of juggling.

EP 92-Funnel Cakes & A Conversation About Integrity

Tue, 03 Aug 2021 17:30:00 GMT

When I was in chiropractic school I was known for being a bit of a thorn in the school administration’s side as the chief content editor of our school paper. At one point, I even declared war on funnel cakes ;) While I was booed and poked fun at by many of my peers, my point had more to do with integrity...and is actually applicable to all of us. Today’s episode of Rejuvenated Women is a reprisal of sorts of my war on funnel cakes...with a gentle reminder of the importance of keeping our word to ourselves and others.

EP 91-All Things Thyroid with Dr. Amie Hornaman -The Thyroid Fixer

Thu, 29 Jul 2021 17:30:00 GMT

Is it my thyroid?!? 1:8 women will have a thyroid problem at some point in their lives. After menopause, it’s 1:3. But sadly conventional medicine doesn’t typically offer more than lifelong medication once you’re so far past “fine” that it’s hard to get back. Today’s episode is a deep dive into all things thyroid with the Thyroid Fixer-Dr. Amie Hornaman.

Dr. Amie Hornaman DCN, MsN, CFMP, a.k.a The Thyroid-Fixer, a woman on a mission to optimize thyroid patients around the world and give them their lives back using her

transformational program: The COMPLETE Thyroid Fix Method (CTFM).

After her own experience of insufferable symptoms, misdiagnoses, and improper treatment, Amie set out to help others who she KNEW were going through the same set

of frustrations and who were on the same medical roller coaster.

She grabs your hand, gives you answers about your health that no one has told you, and gives you the actual tools and treatment to fix you. That’s the transformational journey.

With a focus on optimizing thyroid function and thus optimizing her patients, Amie looks at each person as a unique individual and not JUST a lab value. She examines all factors that tie into thyroid dysfunction and thyroid symptoms and treats the person from top to bottom to give them their lives back.

EP 51-Yoga As A Tool To Access Balance and Healing with Manjori Gopika

Thu, 25 Feb 2021 05:27:00 GMT

EP 50- Is Your Resilience a Strength or a Crutch?

Thu, 18 Feb 2021 06:02:00 GMT

Resilience is something we often view as a strength. It’s that deep-seated commitment to moving forward, to reaching a goal, to not letting life get us down. However, it can also be a crutch that prevents us from healing. On this episode of Rejuvenated Women, I unpack this concept more while touching on some of the darkness the last year has held for many of us. We also have some fun celebrating our 1 year anniversary and 50th episode!

To expand this conversation more, check out episode 18 where I discuss the dark side of resilience in depth with the amazing Tracy Litt, and episode 5 where I discuss building a resilience mindset (in a healthy way) with Karen Dean.

EP 26: Trouble Shooting The Plateau

Fri, 05 Jun 2020 07:51:48 GMT

The plateau is that moment when results stop and frustration ensues. You feel like you're doing all the right things, but still have symptoms, or can't lose weight, or your energy is in the pots. This 8 week series unpacks the steps to trouble shooting the proverbial plateau, and leads you towards having the breakthrough in your health you've been looking for.

I personally hit the plateau about three years ago when years of stress, huge commitments as a single mom, doctor and owner of a ever growing wellness practice left me falling apart. I had no energy, kept losing my voice, and my pant sizes just kept going up despite all my knowledge and no matter how much I adhered to strict eating and exercise routines.

In this episode I lay out the plan for the next eight weeks of this series, tell my own story, and discuss the first step: the power of our mindset and its importance in allowing you to breakthrough the plateau.

Listen as we discuss the four Upper Limit Problems, negative self talk and limiting beliefs, and the importance of rediscovering ourselves inside of where we're at as the first step in moving forward.

EP 25: The Three Keys to Taking Control of Your Health and Life

Fri, 22 May 2020 05:19:23 GMT

How do you heal yourself--increase your energy, decrease inflammation and stress and reverse disease? By being proactive and taking control of you. On this week's episode I dive into the three keys that are absolutely necessary to truly take control of your health and life!

If you’ve arrived at this podcast episode, chances are you’re like many of the other women I’ve worked with when it comes to your health. You are feeling overwhelmed, frustrated or even hopeless. You have been searching for answers or a solution, but always coming up short. You may be resigned to always having symptoms or that this is just how life is always going to be. And you are starving for motivation. You are starving to be listened to and understood. You are starving for a plan and a solution. And you are starving for hope and the ability to dare to start dreaming.

Seven years ago, I found myself in this same place. I was a seemingly healthy 28 year old chiropractor, who had already been on my own healing journey recovering from asthma, allergies and eczema and a life long dependence on medication. I’d reached a point where I was active, medication free and full of life. But at 28 I got another wake up call that told me I was still missing something when it came to my own health. I was a woman who had had a baby 5 weeks too early, and no one could tell me why. I was a woman who spent my sons first week of life in NICU fighting to finally go home. I was a woman who could not lose weight, who had no energy, no sex drive, no motivation, and no answers.

What ensued was a seven year transformational process in which I figured out the steps to truly heal my body, get myself back and heal on a deep level, both physically and emotionally.

I equate the journey to rediscovering my health to learning how to fly a plane...except unlike the women I now work with, I didn’t take a course, have an instructor or a book. Instead I spent years spinning my wheels putting all of that information together on my own. Now, I’ve been able to take that process and turn it into a blueprint that has helped hundreds of other women take control of their own health and lives.

There are three keys to really finding lasting and sustainable success when it comes to healing without drugs or surgery:

A holistic approach-must move away from the compartmentalized thinking of western health care
Addressing the 6 Pillars of Health--stress/hormones, nutrition/detox, movement, sleep, gut health and immune function, mindset & mindfulness
A guide/Mentor

What’s on the other side of being able to put this process into practice is nothing short of amazing. The other side is what have women find results like...

Tripling their energy
Losing 30 pounds and getting off all their medication
Becoming confident and strong
Having less anxiety and better mood stability
Getting pregnant after years of failed fertility treatment
Decreasing inflammation and stress
Healing from adrenal fatigue
Down four pant sizes in six weeks

When you start on the journey to taking control of your health and life you rediscover dreams and find a quality of life you didn’t think was possible before.

You may be one of two women listening to this:

Struggling with a chronic health condition for which there has been no hope or future except a lifetime of medications and a mediocre quality of life, and who are looking for a different approach and a better answer.
Women who have been on their healing journey for a while but feel like despite doing “all the right things” they have plateaued or are stuck and are feeling frustrated and like nothing will ever change.

You...

EP 24: How to Handle Picky Eaters Whether it’s Your Kids, Your Spouse or YOU!

Fri, 08 May 2020 05:26:39 GMT

This conversation comes up all the time in my work with women: You don't want to cook two meals but are trying to be healthy; you want to lose weight, but don't like vegetables; your spouse or kids are constantly fighting you on changes and it's overwhelming. This conversation is for YOU.

It’s not that vegetables, whole grains or healthy foods taste bad, it’s that you’ve trained your taste buds to think they taste bad. And you have to have patience retraining taste buds to appreciate good food. Nutrition is that which is eaten to sustain life, provide energy and promote the growth and repair of tissues. Most of us live to eat, we do not eat to live.

I got a new protein shake recently with absolutely no added sugar that I was excited to test as an option for my Health Rejuvenation Program. I couldn’t wait to try it. I made my shake and immediately thought “bleh”. It tasted bland and I had to choke it down. I realized what a huge difference the one gram of sugar in my current protein powder made, and made me realize I’d have to ease myself into appreciating the new shake.

It’s kind of like running a marathon. You don’t decide you’re going to run a marathon and then just go do it with no training or preparation. You have a plan. You gradually increase your mileage and prepare your body to go for the long haul. By the same token, you have to gradually ease your body into eating (and liking) new and healthier foods.

Some key things to know and try when making transitions with picky eaters:

If healthy eating is new , mix the new healthier food with the previous unhealthy food in increasing amounts until you’re getting 100% of the healthy option. This is the approach I am using with my new protein powder. I’ve also seen this work for parents getting kids off of dairy and gluten (when their kids favorite meal is macaroni and cheese), making the move from why to whole grains, and moving from many processed foods to the real thing. We have to retrain our taste buds (which tend to recognize the heavily processed food as “normal”) to recognize and enjoy the real food!
Smoothies are a great place to “hide” things like spinach or kale to get some raw veggies in them.
Don’t make two meals. Dinner is dinner. Lunch is lunch. Do your best to include something the picky eater does like that’s on the healthy spectrum. Encourage them to branch out and try new things at least once or twice a week.
Approach changes gradually and with patience. The day my 7 year old told me he loved raw kale and asked for seconds and then thirds, I nearly fell out of my chair. The more you encourage, emulate, include and incorporate the picky eaters into the process, the more you’ll find breakthroughs. Don’t try to completely rock the boat all at once. Just start making small changes and the rest will follow.
Everyone should be on a quality whole food multivitamin, but ESPECIALLY picky eaters. For guidance on this see my video on what supplements you should be taking.
Be wary of using food as a reward. This perpetuates the brain cascade reward system into identifying taste and treats with certain emotions. Instead use things like quality time, a favorite game or activity, an outing etc.

When you start to approach healthy eating, getting your vegetables in and making better food choices like running a marathon, you will find you start to really enjoy healthy food. You’ll even start to crave vegetables and whole grains. And, you’ll have less bloating, inflammation and far more energy, all of which make the choices easier to make.

If you’re listening to this and thinking “this all sounds well and good Dr. Alex, but I’m already overwhelmed and I don’t know how to take on one more thing even if it...

EP 23- How to Kick Your Sugar Habit to the Curb

Sat, 02 May 2020 03:45:07 GMT

On this episode I tackle the ever present sugar addiction so many of us struggle with. This goes beyond just having a sweet tooth! Join me as I share the three keys to really breaking the sugar craving cycle and kicking the habit once and for all.

How do you finally kick your sugar habit?

It’s about awareness and commitment.

I want to give you some facts to think about:

The Average American consumes 152 pounds of sugar each year compared to 22 pounds a year in 1900…

Sugar is connected to obesity…

It’s also heavily connected to the insulin resistance and sluggish livers we see in 60% of the US population

It increases inflammation, rates and severity of disease and ultimately makes us sick.

And it can be really difficult to reduce or completely eliminate from our diet

The first time I decided to go off sugar I was 17. What I considered “a strange hippy doctor” told me I’d feel better if I did. So I decided to try it. Two days in I was explaining that I was going to get off sugar to a friend, and as soon as I was done, they offered me a sugar covered donut bite from Dominos with glazed icing dip. Which I ate without giving two thoughts until it was in my mouth. I had no idea how deep the sugar addiction ran, or how present it was in my diet until I stopped to think about it.

I felt like a hypocrite and failure, and realized that if I was going to actually be successful in doing this, I needed to wake up and pay attention.

It was lonely, people thought I was weird, But I found I did start to feel better when I’d gotten off sugar a while. I also found it was really easy to get back on it.

I equate it somewhat to a high level olympic athlete. If they are going to succeed they have to be meticulous in how they care for the body and train. They have to be patient. And they have to do the work. We don’t all have to be Olympic athletes, but when we approach our own health as an Olympic athlete would approach their training regime, we make progress much more quickly and see results we probably never expected.

I’ve spent the better part of the last 16 years eating very little refined sugar. And I want to share with you the three things you really need to know and consider if you’re serious about kicking your sugar habit to the curb.

Sugar is a highly addictive substance. Studies have shown it has a similar reward effect on your brain to alcohol or drugs. Because of this, getting off it can be challenging. You will have cravings, and maybe even withdrawal symptoms.
Sugar doesn’t just apply to candy, chocolate or ice cream. There are sugars hidden in ALL of our food. And nutrition labeling can be very misleading. On top of that which is added to our foods, our most popular foods like white potatoes, rice, pasta and other simple carbohydrates break down to sugar in your body. They give a quick spike in your blood sugar and then you crash, or are hungry again.
Truly getting past the sugar habit takes diligence, patience and grace for yourself (and others). It’s not going to happen overnight, just like getting to the Olympics doesn’t happen overnight.

When I was finally able to get off sugar for longterm (6 years) when I was 20, and again 2 years ago, I discovered that I felt amazing. I had stable energy through my day. I wasn’t as hungry, especially at night, and I lost weight and slept better. When you’re able to really successfully transition your diet, your palate and your eating habits, amazing things wait for you on the other side.

I also recognize that it can be daunting, lonely and difficult to find the motivation to take your health in your own hands, and deprive yourself of something you’re literally emotionally attached to. Because of this, I’ve created a week long workshop that addresses both our...

EP-21 Cultivating Mental Fortitude and a Growth Mindset During Social Distancing

Thu, 16 Apr 2020 08:51:29 GMT

On this episode I take you on a journey to cultivate mental fortitude and position yourself for growth during social distancing and the world pandemic, so that you come out of it transformed into an even more powerful version of yourself.

I cover:

~What the spending trends right now tell us about the world mindset

~Tools for helping you overcome those mindset blocks

~Granting yourself permission to feel, and acknowledge those feelings

~Questions to ask yourself: what are you trying to escape (feelings, the situation, things out of your control)? Who do you need to become to have what you feel you lack? What is the dream--pandemic or not?

I also provide five tips for things you can start doing to cultivate mental fortitude and a growth mindset during this time of isolation and social distancing:

1. Give yourself permission to have your feelings (loneliness, frustration, anxiety, fear etc)...but don't wallow in them.

2. Get creative with how you express and give love.

3. Make self-care a priority.

4. Don't be afraid to reach out and ask for help.

5. Use this time to grow inside the discomfort.

EP 10: 5 Simple Steps to Beat Your Overwhelm

Sat, 15 Feb 2020 09:14:42 GMT

On this episode I lay out the 5 simple steps that have been instrumental in reducing the overwhelm in my own life, and in that of countless women I've worked with. Without this foundation, I would never have been able to do what I did this week--take 2 days off from work and life, one for my son and one for myself while we fought off a cold--without the world imploding, stress tripling and utter chaos ensuing.

Join me as I discuss:

The necessary mindset shifts that have to occur to allow you to build a schedule and life that breeds productivity and not overwhelm.
How to set up your day to day activities and life so that the unforeseen can be handled without extra stress.
How to bring mindfulness to your day and the questions to ask yourself to start making lasting changes in your commitments.
How block scheduling breeds freedom, and not micromanaging.

In addition, there is a free worksheet that walks you through the 5 steps I discuss in this episode and which can be downloaded here: www.dralexridley.com/freedownload

It's Valentine's Day. Time to love yourself and Beat that Overwhelm!

EP 9: Bringing the Feminine to Goal Setting-SLIM Goals

Tue, 11 Feb 2020 15:37:09 GMT

Today I break down goal setting for women, taking a very different approach from the SMART goal rhetoric that permeates goal setting conversations these days. Today we combine the idea of DUMB goals, as thought up by Brandon Burchard, with my SLIM Goal feminine approach. This is not the goal setting you're used to.

DUMB Goals stand for Dream, Uplifting, Methods and Behaviors. As Brandon explains in his video on DUMB goals, they help you get connected to a big dream and purpose before you start getting down to the methods and behaviors you need to cultivate to get to that dream.

Taking this a step further, I lay out my SLIM goal acronym for goal setting:

Sustainable

Life-giving

Intentional

Mindful

When we are able to approach our goals from both dreams and intentions, methods and sustainability, the world becomes our oyster and those dreams become attainable.

Join us for a raw and real conversation this week on where to start when it comes to creating impeccable health in your own life and the myths you must be aware of in order to really start to build a life of radiance, energy and unbridled joy.
