If you’re navigating hormone changes and feel like your body is shifting in ways you don’t fully understand, this episode will open your eyes to a completely different way of approaching hormone health.

In this conversation, Dee Davidson sits down with Dr. Sara Poldmae, Doctor of Acupuncture, Functional Medicine practitioner, and Menopause Society Certified Practitioner, to explore how Chinese medicine can support hormone balance naturally—especially during perimenopause and menopause.

With over 20 years of experience blending Western medicine, ancient healing practices, and somatic work, Dr. Sara shares a deeply integrative perspective on what’s really happening in the body during midlife and how we can support it in a more aligned, sustainable way.

We talk about how symptoms like fatigue, sleep disruption, mood swings, and cycle changes aren’t random, they’re signals. And through the lens of Chinese medicine, we can begin to understand those signals and support the body back into balance.

This conversation is a beautiful reminder that healing doesn’t always have to be aggressive or overwhelming and it can be supportive, intuitive, and deeply connected to how the body was designed to function.

In This Episode, You’ll Learn:

• How Chinese medicine views hormone balance and midlife transitions
• Why perimenopause and menopause symptoms are signals, not problems
• The connection between energy, stress, and hormonal health

What if your physical symptoms aren’t just physical?

In this powerful conversation, I sit down with therapist, healer, and teacher Tina Walsh to explore how unresolved childhood experiences—your “inner child”—can directly impact your physical health.

So many women I work with are doing everything “right”… eating well, exercising, taking supplements—yet still struggling with symptoms like anxiety, poor sleep, chronic stress, and even hormone imbalances. This episode dives into why.

We talk about how early life experiences shape your sense of safety in the body, how emotional patterns get stored physically, and why your nervous system may still be operating from a place of protection even years later.

Tina shares how these patterns can show up as:

• Anxiety and panic
• Sleep disturbances
• Chronic stress responses
• Physical symptoms that don’t seem to have clear answers

And most importantly, we walk through gentle, approachable ways to begin reconnecting with and healing your inner child—so your body can finally feel safe enough to heal.

Because healing isn’t just about what you eat or what supplements you take…
It’s about what your body has been holding onto.

In This Episode, You’ll Learn:

• What the “inner child” really means and why it matters for your health
• How stored emotional trauma can manifest as physical symptoms
• What’s happening in your nervous system when you feel constantly on edge
• Why traditional approaches may miss this key piece of healing
• Simple ways to begin supporting your inner child and nervous system

What happens when your functional medicine doctor doesn’t give you the results you expected?

In this episode of the Confidently Balance Your Hormones Podcast, Dee Davidson brings on her client Jenna, who shares her honest experience of spending significant time and money working with a functional medicine doctor—yet still feeling stuck.

Jenna came in frustrated, dealing with weight thatcame off, poor sleep improved, and she left feeling like herself again.

In this conversation, Dee breaks down an important truth: while functional medicine doctors can offer deeper insight than traditional care, it can still sometimes focus on symptom management—just using supplements instead of prescriptions without fully addressing the body’s foundational imbalances.

Together, Dee and Jenna unpack:
• What was missing in Jenna’s previous approach
• The difference between symptom-based care vs true root-cause healing
• Why supplements alone weren’t enough
• How addressing nervous system, minerals, gut health, and lifestyle made the difference
• What finally helped Jenna lose weight, sleep better, and feel like herself again

If you’ve invested in your health and still feel stuck, this episode will give you a new perspective on what may be missing—and what your body may truly need to heal.

🎙️ Listen to Jenna’s story and learn how to move beyond trial-and-error toward a more complete, root-cause approach.
