Are you tired, bloated, foggy, or constantly running on empty — but your labs keep coming back “normal”?

In this episode of The Balanced Body Podcast, I sit down with Breanna Grace, Holistic Health Practitioner specializing in gut health, chronic fatigue, mold toxicity, and histamine intolerance. We dive into the emotional side of long-term health struggles — including the grief no one talks about when your body doesn’t feel like your own.

Breanna shares her personal journey navigating mold toxicity and histamine intolerance, the frustrations of the conventional medical system, and how so many women settle for “mediocre health” because they’ve been told their symptoms are normal.

We also explore a powerful truth: the body is incredibly capable of healing when properly supported at the root.

If you’ve ever felt dismissed, discouraged, or afraid that your fatigue, bloating, brain fog, or hormone symptoms are “just part of getting older,” this conversation will feel deeply validating — and hopeful.

Are you on medications you’re not sure you still need, but too afraid to stop?

In this episode of The Balanced Body Podcast, I’m joined by Stacey D’Angelo, pharmacist specializing in deprescribing and pharmacogenetics. We’re diving into what it really means to safely reduce medications like antidepressants, anti-anxiety drugs, PPIs (acid reflux medications), and hormonal birth control — and why tapering properly matters more than most people realize.

We also unpack pharmacogenetics (PGx) — a DNA-based test that predicts how your body responds to medications. This personalized approach can reduce the frustrating trial-and-error many women experience, especially with mental health prescriptions.

If you’ve ever wondered:

• “Do I still need this medication?”
• “Why do I feel worse when I try to come off?”
• “Is there a safer, more personalized way to approach my health?”

This conversation will open your eyes.

For years, hormone replacement therapy has been clouded by fear, outdated research, and confusing messaging.

But the landscape has shifted.

In this episode of The Balanced Body Podcast, I’m joined by Elise Schroeder, a naturopathic doctor with over 20 years of experience helping women balance their hormones and feel vital at every stage of life.

We’re breaking down:

• What the Black Box warning on HRT actually meant — and why its removal matters
• The biggest myths still circulating about hormone therapy
• Why HRT shouldn’t be viewed as a “last resort”
• How hormone therapy may play a role in preventing osteoporosis, cognitive decline, and cardiovascular disease
• Why perimenopause may be the most important window for intervention

If you’re in your late 30s or 40s and noticing changes in your energy, mood, sleep, metabolism, or cycle, this episode will help you understand what’s happening and what your options truly are.

Hormones influence far more than hot flashes. They impact your brain, bones, heart, metabolism, and long-term vitality. The right information changes everything.
