114. Healing Hormone Chaos with Dr. Aviva Romm #WellnessWednesdays
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.

93. Creating a Beautiful Birth with Dr. Lisa Karamardian #WellnessWednesdays
We’ve reached an incredible milestone! We’re celebrating 3 million podcast downloads in less than 15 months.I wanted to celebrate with a guest that helped me reach a personal milestone: a beautiful birth story. Dr. Lisa Karamardian is Board Certified in Obstetrics and Gynecology at Newport Center Surgical, California, and was the guiding force in the healing birth of my second boy, Taschen. I tackle the subject of birth with an expert in the field who truly empowers a woman’s labor while taking charge and providing guidance and tools to provide a safe delivery. The truth is, there is no such thing as a “right” birth, and birthing plans can go out the window when push comes to shove. Dr. Lisa Karamardian brings her years of experience to the table and talks about all of the treatments available to create a beautiful birth. She demystifies “old-wives tales” around epidurals, breaking water, Pitocin, and Cytotec, and we both reflect on my second birthing experience.

68. Trimester Zero: Helping Couples Have Healthy Children - with Dr. Afrouz Demeri #WellnessWednesdays
Dr. Afrouz Demeri is a naturopathic doctor focused on women’s health. The more women she saw, she started to realize that the root cause of most women’s health struggles was in their childhood, whether it was how physical they were, how they ate, their medical treatment, emotional status, or any other number of issues. She started to focus on pediatrics, but there were still issues, so she started to look at pregnancy and the parents to help prevent many of the issues she was seeing. During her own pregnancy, she became aware of all the personal health issues she had that nobody was testing for, and she became passionate about helping couples have healthy children — starting before they try getting pregnant.You will learn about...How we can impact the future health of children before birthGiving children the best chance for successWhat you can and can’t control—and being okay with thatHow who you are impacts what you should eatGetting a full hormone assessment to see where you standIncreasing sperm qualityMaking one change at a timeSimplifying and minimizing your lifeResources:trimesterzerocourse.comAimforwomen.comInstagram: @drdemeripristinehydro.comConnect 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.
