Be Well by Kelly Leveque

The Health Babes brand was created by Drs. Becky Campbell and Krystal Hohn, functional medicine practitioners with a passion for helping people get to the root cause of their health issues after overcoming complex symptoms of their own during grad school.As board-certified physicians of natural medicine, these ladies are a dynamic duo of research knowledge and lived experience. If they can’t tell us all the ways we can get our hormone levels under control, no one can.Besides working together in their functional medicine practice, they have recently published a super actionable book called The Health Babes Guide to Balancing Hormones – which is just one resource among many from these two designed to help people on a larger scale.Dr. Becky Campbell and Dr. Krystal Hohn created this fundamental resource manual to explain the various ways your hormones can affect your body and what you can do to balance them for a happier, healthier life. And that’s right where we pick it up, today!DISCLAIMER: As a reminder, the information provided in this podcast is for educational purposes only, and does not substitute for professional medical advice.We also cover…00:01:46 — Pain-to-Purpose StoriesHistamine intolerance and Mast Cell Activation Syndrome (MCAS)Discovering functional medicine Combining their practices and creating Health BabesCreating Health BabesThe Health Babes Guide To Balancing Hormones00:07:38 — Basics of Hormone HealthBenefits of the dutchtest.comPrioritizing Hormonal Health with Dr. Carrie Jones #118How our bodies metabolize hormonesSupporting detoxification (3 phases)Identifying symptoms of estrogen dominanceSymptoms to look for between perimenopause and menopause 00:24:30 — Take Care Of Your Gut & Baby Your LiverGood bacteria vs. bad bacteria Heath Babes on using probiotics Recommending a gentle detox planEasy-to-digest foods 101Organ meats as nature’s best multivitaminRegenerative Farming: Agriculture as Nature Intended with Robby Sansom #171Balancing blood sugar with the Fab 4Supporting healthy bowels00:39:01 — Drivers of Hormone ImbalanceDrivers of hormonal imbalance (hello, stress!)Supporting the mighty mitochondria Prioritizing sleep and boundariesTrauma stores in the body  00:48:55 —The Pillars of Hormonal HealthGupta Program, by Ashtok GuptaBreathwork by Christine HasslerBrainTap appVita-Side, by Lindsay MitchellHealing Your Inner Child Self-Guided Virtual WorkshopTop tips to rebalance hormonesHistamine and estrogen dynamicsResources:Read: The Health Babes Guide To Balancing HormonesWebsite: https://healthbabes.comThe Health Babes Podcast Instagram: @thehealthbabesDr. Becky Campbell: @drbeckycampbellDr. Krystal Hohn: @drkrystalhohnPodcast: Health Babes PodcastYouTube: @dr.beckycampbell5824The Health Babes Functional Medicine at Home Program (use code BEWELL for $50 off)Connect with Kelly:kellyleveque.comInstagram: @bewellbykellyFacebook: www.facebook.com/bewellbykellyBe Well By Kelly is produced by Crate Media.Mentioned in this episode:BWBK Protein Powder | Get $10 off your order with PODCAST10 at bewellbykelly.com.BonCharge | Go to boncharge.com/kelly to save 20% on their red light devices.Cozy Earth | Get 35% off sitewide when you use the code 'BEWELL' at CozyEarth.com.

Dr. Lindsey Elmore is a former pharmacist, author, speaker, podcaster, and network marketing leader with a knack for cutting through the confusion and sharing the truth about the myriad of health and wellness choices available. She shares her passion for natural wellness on stages around the world and reaches countless others through her lively social media platforms.We talk about her journey into, and away from, traditional medicine – inspired by her own patient’s journey after tearing her ACL. Leaning into non-traditional practices, she became an expert on the history of both branches of wellness, those defined as “medicine” in 1906, and the expansive natural world of “everything else”.We dabble all over the spectrum in this one, going from the recorded history of pharmacy and healthcare into more modern issues seen in marketing, dosages, drug pricing, evidence-based research, and so much more.Dr. Lindsey is a vibrant truth teller, a guest who’s energy and inspiration for the subject matter can be seen, felt, and heard in every word she speaks.

Today's guest is so impactful to the millions of people that she supports online, it only made sense to bring her back for a second session.

Her latest workbook, How To Meet Yourself, hits bookstores on December 6th. It's now up for pre-order, and I highly recommend it.In this one – we outline the three levels of her workbook and the impact each has on our understanding of self, jump on the story loop for a ride through human neurology, learn ways to connect a disconnected nervous system, and so much more.If you’re feeling stuck, overwhelmed, or even underwhelmed by your life and the world around you, this is the perfect episode for you.

My guest today is Michael Easter, a leading voice on how humans can integrate modern science and evolutionary wisdom for improved health, meaning, and performance. He travels the globe to embed himself with brilliant thinkers and people living at the extremes. He's the author of the bestselling book, The Comfort Crisis, and a professor of journalism at UNLV.We spend this one unpacking the comfort crisis and the complex experiences that seeded this concept in Michael’s mind as something more than an observation of his own life. He covers his nutrition journey, why learning how much he was eating was the key to understanding his own metabolic equilibrium, highlights a few fascinating teachers and researchers that have inspired him along the way, and applies his crisis lens to another, more surprising, neurological gem under siege – creativity in kids.His application of learned lessons is a breath of fresh air. Backed in research, but avoidant of the weeds – his POV is heart-filled and psychological, but not out of reach. Big thanks to Michael for sharing his deep wisdom with us today.We also cover… 00:01:24 — Unraveling The Comfort CrisisInspiration for The Comfort CrisisStruggling with drinking and getting soberLearning the reward of walking through discomfortWorking with Donnie VincentHow an extreme excursion outlined his bookNutrition work with Trevor KasheyWhy you eat vs. what you eat with Trevor KasheyPitfalls of enforcing rigid eating rules 00:21:55 — Doing the Work: Lifestyle ChangesChoosing foods that are ingredients > foods that have ingredients Positive effects of spending time in nature The Nature Pyramid by Rachel Hopman Working with our  hands vs. our heads00:36:54 — Growth Through ChallengeWhat exactly is a misogi challenge?Commenting on the sports science work of Marcus Elliot Inventing a challenge to push past limiting beliefsThe developmental significance of rites of passage Hard things are the ultimate teacher00:48:27 — Creativity & Happiness Across CulturesRemembering the research of Ellis Paul TorranceIQ vs. creativity testing with regard to life outcomes The commercialization of ideas and the creativity crisis among kidsHappiness research in Buton (not a single stoplight)Life is impermanent: Find joy in experiences over material thingsAmerica’s false happiness checklist Get out there and do hard things!Resources:Read: The Comfort Crisis by Michael Easter Shop: The Comfort Crisis by Micheal EasterWebsite: eastermichael.comInstagram: @michael_easterConnect with Kelly:kellyleveque.comInstagram: @bewellbykellyFacebook: www.facebook.com/bewellbykellyBe Well By Kelly is produced by Crate Media.Mentioned in this episode:BWBK Protein Powder | Get $10 off your order with PODCAST10 at bewellbykelly.com.
