Be Well by Kelly Leveque

In today’s episode, Dr. Carrie Jones demystifies female and male hormonal issues by shining a light on the most common symptoms and challenges she sees her clients go up against. We’re a generation of hormonally-challenged individuals who’ve spent too long brushing symptoms off as “just the way things are.” To make matters worse, testing is time sensitive and so the hormonal cycle can find itself in a perpetual state of dysregulation. Add toxins, stress-inducers, and technology into the mix, and it’s not surprising that our bodies get overwhelmed and stuck in a yo-yo state of fight or flight. Plus: we break down circadian rhythms and the knock-on effect they have on your insides. As always, you’ll come out of this episode with actionable and accessible changes you can implement in your routine, from getting your lymphatic system into gear to choosing the right deodorant prepping your body to glide easily through menopause. You will learn about...Red flags for hormonal issues and how to address them The Dutch TestCommon hormonal issues and how to fix them Identifying and eliminating endocrine disruptorsSleep hygiene and stress management Making menopause easier Resources:Instagram: @dr.carriejonesWebsite: drcarriejones.comThank you LMNT for sponsoring this episode!

Denise Vasi has always refused to be put in a box. As a highly successful model, actress, and the founder of Maed, an inclusive wellness community, she has continuously sought to carve out a space that allows her to shine fully. Motherhood flipped a switch for Denise, and she began exploring – and sharing – her experience as she sought to detox her skin, body, and surroundings while being an inspirational and intentional mother to her daughter and son. Her content struck a chord with her ever-evolving, online community, and Maed was launched (from her bathroom) in 2018. She reveals the secrets to self-care and mindful beauty that she inherited from her grandmother and how she creates time for herself, despite a jam-packed schedule. Plus: how she kicked dietary devils from her household and why her journey to radical self-acceptance is the most beautiful thing of all. You will learn about...Reflecting on a modeling career Transformations in personal and professional life Starting Maed and creating an aligned community The importance of self-care Clean beauty hacks and tricksNutrition for children The path to self-acceptance Denise’s Beauty Favorites:Biossance Squalane oilKosas Deodorant54 Thrones Body ButterGua ShaResources:Website: maed.coInstagram: @denisevasi + @maedConnect with Kelly:kellyleveque.comInstagram: @bewellbykellyFacebook: www.facebook.com/bewellbykellyBe Well By Kelly is a production of Crate MediaMentioned in this episode:BWBK Protein Powder | Get $10 off your order with PODCAST10 at bewellbykelly.com.

MD, midwife, and herbalist, Dr. Aviva Romm, is lifting the lid on the hidden hormone pandemic. With over 80% of American women reaching out to a doctor with hormone concerns, it’s a subject that needs to be front and center of the collective health conversation. Instead, all too often, women are overwhelmed by a spectrum of health issues swept under the rug – by society and the medical field – as part and parcel of “being a woman.”Your gender is not a diagnosis. Painful periods and menopause, endometriosis,  PCOS, and fertility problems are cues telling us something is out of balance in the body. Thankfully, Dr. Romm is helping women self-assess their internal landscape, empowering us with the knowledge, data, and actionable steps to rewire our hormonal health. In this episode, she explains the symptoms to look out for from puberty to menopause, and the lifestyle tools to employ to nourish your body – and hormone levels – from the inside out. You will learn about...The hidden hormone pandemic The symptoms to look out forDecoding the term “hormonal”Food and environmental triggersReprogramming taste buds Ways to balancing your hormonesResources:Website: avivaromm.comInstagram: @dr.avivarommRead: “Hormone Intelligence: The Complete Guide to Calming Hormone Chaos and Restoring Your Body’s Natural Blueprint”Thanks to Sound Tea for sponsoring this episode!
