If you have ever struggled to "do it all" - healthy lifestyle, showing up for your family, working... Well, Whitney and I can relate. And in this week's episode, we tag team it as we dive in to the practical how to's of managing all the responsibilities we as women, wives and mothers carry.

Whitney has a passion for wellness and motherhood - and she has married the two through the founding of The Fit Mom Society. A community based program where she guides women through fitness, nutrition, community and more - all through a shared platform that seeks to drive health and connectivity in a doable way.

Follow Whitney over on Instagram at @whitney.williford & @fit_momsociety.

She is also a part of the Super Mom competition, as a mom and business owner! It is a great way to support the Children's Miracle network and I know Whitney would covet your vote. Support her & the CMN here! 

This week's episode is all about choosing safer when it comes to personal care and home products we choose. The products around our home and on our body can be laden with potentially harmful ingredients. Amy helps us know what red flags to look out for and how to make safer swaps. 

Amy has been a pharmacist for 16+ years, with a Doctor of Pharmacy degree with board certification in Geriatrics (not so sexy - her words) . She became a real nontoxic enthusiast and ingredient detective after her mother was diagnosed with Stage 4 cancer out of the blue. Since 2018, she has been going down this low tox path and investigating how our personal care products are made & manufactured in the US and learning more and more about what ingredients we need to avoid for our health and wellness. She is very passionate about sharing this issue with others - it truly is a problem that most people do not even know exists. She hopes to empower people to make better decisions about the products they use and buy for themselves and their family.  

This week, I am diving in to how YOU can manage your PCOS and Insulin Resistance, without having to go on medication. You CAN manage your symptoms without medicine - approaching your IR from a holistic approach.

Katy provides 5 specific ways you can start managing your IR today - and done well, these tips can give you dramatic improvement to your symptoms.

This week we are diving into what healing from a holistic approach can look like!
 
 Carla is a friend of mine that has joined us this week, with an intriguing and winding journey in healing her thyroid, gut and immune system. Having been warned that she was on track towards a Lupus diagnosis, Carla started asking questions and followed her intuition towards FINALLY finding the correct diagnosis. She discusses with Katy this week what that healing journey looked like and how she is maintaining health on the other side of it today!
