  63. What is the Root Cause? What Your Symptoms Are Really Telling You with Laura Grubb

  Sep 8, 202642 min

  Your boating, stomach aches and other symptoms aren’t inconveniences to silence, they’re signals worth listening to. When we constantly manage symptoms without asking why they’re happening, we can end up stuck in a cycle of temporary solutions without addressing what’s driving the problem. I’m joined by Laura Grubb of Laura Grubb Wellness, a nurse practitioner turned functional health practitioner. We’re talking about why women can get stuck bouncing from provider to provider without answers, why a diagnosis doesn’t necessarily equal healing, and how symptoms can act as your body’s “check engine light.” This conversation is for women who know something feels off, have been told their labs are “normal,” or are tired of simply managing symptoms and want to better understand what their bodies are communicating. In this episode: Why symptoms can be your body’s “check engine light” Laura’s journey from conventional medicine to functional health How acne led Laura to investigate her internal health Why gut health can impact hormones, skin, energy, and immunity The problem with using food sensitivity tests as a Band-Aid Why eliminating more and more foods can create its own problems Why a diagnosis doesn’t necessarily equal healing How to stop letting a diagnosis become your identity Why bloating is a symptom worth investigating How to find a practitioner who listens, investigates, and looks at the whole picture Why functional practitioners may not accept insurance Why it’s never too late to address symptoms and pursue better health Connect with Laura: Website: https://www.lauragrubbwellness.com/ Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/lauragrubbwellness/ Freebie: https://lauragrubbwellness.myflodesk.com/guthealingroadmap Hormone Insights: STOP GUESSING & START ADVOCATING FOR YOUR HEALTH WITH THE RIGHT LABS: ⁠⁠⁠www.beecollectivewellness.com/hormone-lab-guide ⁠ Connect with me: Website: https://beecollectivewellness.com Follow me on IG: https://www.instagram.com/beecollectivewellness/ Work with me: ⁠⁠ https://beecollectivewellness.com/nutrition-coaching⁠⁠ Produced by Espresso Podcast Production: https://www.espressopodcastproduction.com

  62. The N-O-P-E Method for Healthier, More Radiant Skin with Yolanda Russo

  Sep 1, 202648 min

  Your skin may be telling you far more about how you’re living than how old you are. In this episode, Brandee sits down with Yolanda Russo of Beauty on Command to unpack a different approach to aging. One that focuses on supporting your skin from the inside out rather than relying solely on creams, gadgets, Botox, or fillers. Yolanda breaks down her N-O-P-E method and explains how everyday habits like slouching over your phone, holding facial expressions, over-exfoliating, and not getting enough rest can show up on your face. They also discuss skincare routines, red light therapy, facial massage and yoga, and why more isn’t always better when it comes to products and beauty gadgets. This conversation is for anyone who is tired of the anti-aging narrative and wants to think differently about supporting their skin as they age. In this episode: Why your skin may be reflecting stress, depletion, and everyday habits Yolanda’s N-O-P-E method Why posture and phone habits can affect the appearance of your face and neck What to know before trying facial yoga, massage, or skincare gadgets Why simplifying your skincare routine may be more helpful than constantly adding products Yolanda’s perspective on Botox, fillers, and the anti-aging industry How everyday expressions and repeated habits can contribute to visible lines and wrinkles Why Yolanda believes pro-aging is about taking agency over your health and habits Connect with Yolanda: Website: https://beautyoncommand.cc/workshops Freebie: https://beautyoncommand.com/nope Connect with me: Website: https://beecollectivewellness.com Follow me on IG: https://www.instagram.com/beecollectivewellness/ Work with me: ⁠⁠ https://beecollectivewellness.com/nutrition-coaching⁠⁠ Produced by Espresso Podcast Production: https://www.espressopodcastproduction.com

  61. A Natural Birth Control Method: Cycle Tracking with Chanana McGarry

  Aug 25, 202636 min

  Your body is constantly communicating with you, but most women were never taught how to understand the signals. In this episode, Brandee sits down with Chanana McGarry of Womb Literacy to break down the fertility awareness method and how it differs from period-tracking apps and the rhythm method. Chanana shares her personal journey after two unplanned pregnancies and explains why properly learning fertility awareness is so different from simply guessing based on cycle dates. They discuss how cervical fluid and basal body temperature can provide information about what's happening throughout the cycle, including signs of ovulation and changes in the luteal phase. The conversation also explores the gaps in medical education around fertility awareness and why having more information can help women make informed decisions about their bodies and contraception. STOP GUESSING & START ADVOCATING FOR YOUR HEALTH WITH THE RIGHT LABS: ⁠⁠www.beecollectivewellness.com/hormone-lab-guide ⁠ In this episode: Why fertility awareness is different from the rhythm method and period-tracking apps How cervical fluid changes throughout the menstrual cycle What basal body temperature can reveal about ovulation Why cervical mucus is a powerful sign of what's happening in your body How tracking can help you recognize patterns and changes in your hormonal health Why fertility awareness isn't only about getting pregnant How cycle tracking can provide valuable context when testing hormones The importance of informed consent when choosing contraception Why natural birth control doesn't have to mean guessing or counting days How understanding your body can create more confidence and ownership in your reproductive health Connect with Chanana: Website: https://www.wombliteracy.com/ Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/wombliteracynow/ Freebie | Learn the Top Three Things 9 Out of 10 Women I Work With Wish Someone Had Told Them Sooner: https://www.wombliteracy.com/sexed Connect with me: Website: https://beecollectivewellness.com Follow me on IG: https://www.instagram.com/beecollectivewellness/ Work with me: ⁠⁠ https://beecollectivewellness.com/nutrition-coaching⁠⁠ Produced by Espresso Podcast Production: https://www.espressopodcastproduction.com

  60. The Career Mindset Shift Every High-Achieving Woman Needs with Karishma Wadhwani

  Aug 18, 202645 min

  Your career should support your life—not consume it. When success comes at the expense of your health, relationships, and peace of mind, it's time to redefine what achievement really looks like. In this episode of Healthy Buzz, Brandee sits down with holistic career coach Karishma Wadhwani to explore the powerful connection between career, identity, and overall well-being. After spending 15 years climbing the corporate ladder before becoming an entrepreneur, Karishma shares why hustle culture keeps so many high-achieving women stuck in burnout and how outdated beliefs around work can quietly sabotage our health. Together, they discuss why your job title isn't your identity, how to create healthier boundaries at work and at home, and why intentional career growth should support your nervous system—not overwhelm it. Whether you're navigating burnout, considering a career pivot, searching for a new role, or simply trying to find better balance, this conversation offers a refreshing perspective on building success without sacrificing yourself. In this episode: Why your job is only one part of your overall life—not your identity How hustle culture contributes to chronic stress and burnout The importance of aligning your career with your current season of life Why "setting expectations" can feel more empowering than setting boundaries How to communicate effectively with your boss, partner, and support system Why taking time to pause can actually improve long-term success The connection between career satisfaction, nervous system health, and overall wellness How fear and old conditioning can keep you stuck in unhealthy work patterns Practical mindset shifts to help you build a sustainable career Connect with Karishma: Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/the.holistic.careercoach/ LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/holisticcareercoachkarishmawadhwani/ https://www.facebook.com/karishma.wadhwani/ Freebie: https://stan.store/karishmawadhwani/p/2026-job-search-blueprint-in-30-days Connect with me: Website: https://beecollectivewellness.com Follow me on IG: https://www.instagram.com/beecollectivewellness/ Work with me: ⁠⁠ https://beecollectivewellness.com/nutrition-coaching⁠⁠ Produced by Espresso Podcast Production: https://www.espressopodcastproduction.com

  59. Eating Less and Cutting out Foods is NOT the Solution with Rita Utterback

  Aug 11, 202649 min

  Women have been taught that healing means eating less, cutting out more foods, and following increasingly restrictive diets. The truth is, those well-intentioned food rules may be doing far more harm than good. In this episode of Healthy Buzz, I sit down with functional diagnostic nutrition practitioner and certified holistic nutritionist Rita Utterback to unpack the hidden consequences of elimination diets, diet culture, and food fear—especially for women navigating PCOS, endometriosis, Hashimoto's, and chronic digestive issues. Drawing from both her personal experience with endometriosis and her work with clients, Rita shares how years of restrictive eating left her with worsening gut health, depleted beneficial bacteria, and an unhealthy relationship with food. Together, we discuss why true healing requires looking beyond food restrictions and addressing the deeper root causes of digestive dysfunction, hormone imbalances, stress, and nervous system regulation. If you've been overwhelmed by conflicting nutrition advice or feel like you're constantly chasing the next diet that promises to "fix" your hormones, this episode is for you. In this episode: Why eliminating more foods isn't always the answer to healing PCOS, endometriosis, and gut issues How restrictive diets can damage your gut microbiome and increase food sensitivities Why stress, under-eating, and nervous system dysregulation often drive digestive symptoms The truth about Low FODMAP, keto, carnivore, and other popular elimination diets Why SIBO is a symptom—not the root cause—and what often gets overlooked How under-eating impacts metabolism, thyroid function, hormones, and gut health Why healing your relationship with food is essential for physical healing The role beneficial gut bacteria play in hormone balance, immunity, and nutrient absorption How to safely begin reintroducing foods and rebuild trust in your body Why personalized nutrition will always outperform one-size-fits-all diet advice Connect with Rita Website: https://www.radiatewithrita.com Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/radiatewithrita/ TikTok: https://www.tiktok.com/@radiatewithrita Podcast: https://www.radiatewithrita.com/podcast Free Resource | Gut & Hormone Root Cause Scorecard: https://www.radiatewithrita.com/rootcausescorecard Connect with me: Website: https://beecollectivewellness.com Follow me on IG: https://www.instagram.com/beecollectivewellness/ Work with me: ⁠⁠ https://beecollectivewellness.com/nutrition-coaching⁠⁠ Produced by Espresso Podcast Production: https://www.espressopodcastproduction.com
