Blood sugar impacts far more than diabetes—and for women, it directly affects hormones, metabolism, energy, mood, sleep, and weight regulation.

In this episode of Confidently Balance Your Hormones, functional health practitioner Dee Davidson, FDN-P, sits down with Boris Berjan, co-founder of Theia, to explore why Continuous Glucose Monitors (CGMs) are becoming a game-changing tool for women’s health.

We dive into:

• Why blood sugar dysregulation is often the missing link in hormone imbalance
• How CGMs provide real-time insight into metabolism—not just food reactions
• Why stress, sleep, emotions, and fasting can spike glucose (even with “perfect” diets)
• How women can use CGM data to support cycle syncing, energy, and hormone balance
• Why Theia goes beyond numbers to create clear, actionable daily scores

If you’ve ever wondered why you’re doing “all the right things” but still feel tired, wired, or stuck—this conversation will give you clarity.

🎧 Whether you’re navigating perimenopause, hormone imbalances, low energy, or metabolic resistance, this episode will change how you think about blood sugar.

In this heartfelt and honest episode, Dee Davidson, Functional Health Practitioner, sits down with her client Lori to talk about what it’s really like to work together — and what makes Dee’s approach different from the conventional health experience so many women are used to.

Lori shares her journey from feeling confused, overwhelmed, and unsure of what to eat or do to gaining clarity through personalized functional lab testing and data-driven support. Instead of guessing or following generic advice, Lori explains how seeing her own results helped her understand why her body was struggling — and how that insight changed everything.

Through targeted testing and individualized guidance, Lori experienced meaningful shifts in:

• Energy levels
• Sleep (finally sleeping like a baby)
• Mood and overall joy
• Confidence in food and daily choices

This episode highlights how functional lab testing provides personalized data, not opinions — and why that level of insight can be life-changing when you’ve been stuck in trial-and-error mode for years.

Lori also shares what it felt like to finally feel supported, heard, and guided with a clear plan — and why working with Dee felt different from other approaches she had tried in the past.

In This Episode, You’ll Hear:

• Why Lori felt stuck before functional testing
• How personalized data replaced confusion with clarity
• The impact of targeted support on energy, sleep, and joy
• What makes Dee’s functional approach different
• Why “doing all the right things” doesn’t work without understanding root causes

This episode is for anyone who feels overwhelmed by conflicting health advice and is craving clear answers, real support, and sustainable results.

In this powerful and wide-ranging episode, Robby Besner joins Dee Davidson for an organic, deeply informative conversation on toxins, mold, Lyme disease, infrared therapy, EMF exposure, and creating a truly healthy home environment in the modern world.

Robby, co-founder of Therasage and a pioneer in infrared and bioresonance technologies, shares his personal journey into alternative healing after his daughter was diagnosed with Lyme disease decades ago—long before virtual medicine and functional testing were widely available. His story highlights how Lyme, mold, and co-infections are often misdiagnosed, misunderstood, or missed entirely, leaving many people stuck in chronic illness without answers.

Together, Dee and Robby explore how modern living quietly disrupts hormone balance and nervous system regulation, from artificial lighting and EMF exposure to toxin overload and indoor air quality. They discuss why many people feel inflamed, exhausted, hormonally imbalanced, and “off” despite doing all the right things—and why deeper testing and environmental awareness are often the missing pieces.

What You’ll Learn in This Episode:

• The connection between mold exposure, Lyme disease, and chronic co-infections
• Why Lyme often mimics autoimmune and neurological conditions
• How toxic load and stress overwhelm the nervous system and hormones
• The science behind infrared therapy, bioresonance, and structured water
• Why infrared saunas work differently (and more effectively) than traditional saunas
• How EMF exposure impacts sleep, inflammation, and cellular health
• Why creating a safe, low-toxin home environment is foundational for healing
• How infrared therapy supports detoxification, adrenal health, and resilience
• Why starting slow with detox tools is essential when the body is depleted
• The importance of testing over guessing in modern functional health

Dee also shares her personal experience using infrared therapy with herself and her children, highlighting how it has become a grounding, nervous-system-supportive part of their routine—modeling sustainable wellness habits for the next generation.

The episode closes with a forward-looking discussion on future topics, including air quality, EMF exposure, and environmental stressors, with plans for a follow-up episode later this year to dive even deeper.

In this inspiring episode of the Confidently Balance Your Hormones podcast, Dee sits down with her client Robin, who courageously opens up about her journey from feeling hopeless, dismissed, and unsupported to finally getting the answers her body had been trying to communicate for years.

Robin shares what life was like before finding Dee — navigating persistent symptoms, feeling unheard in traditional care settings, and wondering if she would ever get clarity. Her turning point came when she discovered Dee’s functional approach and began uncovering the root causes behind the fatigue, inflammation, hormone symptoms, and hidden stressors that had been silently draining her body.

Together, they walk through:

✨ What it feels like to go from “something is wrong” to “I finally understand my body”
✨ How functional lab testing uncovered imbalances that were missed for years
✨ The emotional relief of finally being validated, supported, and guided
✨ How addressing hidden stressors allowed Robin’s energy, hope, and confidence to return
✨ Why healing accelerates when the body feels safe, seen, and supported
✨ The exact steps they began taking to start clearing the body and rebuilding resilience

This episode is a beautiful reminder that you are never too far gone, and your symptoms are not a life sentence — they are communication. With the right support, education, and partnership, true healing becomes possible.

If Robin’s story resonates with you and you’re ready for clarity, confidence, and a deeper understanding of your own body, Dee would love to support you.
