In this episode, Dee sits down with client Nicole, who shares her powerful journey of realizing that something in her body felt “off” after pregnancy — even though she was doing many of the “right” things.

Nicole opens up about the frustrating symptoms that slowly became her new normal: constant fatigue, brain fog, and an inability to lose weight despite consistent effort with diet and exercise. Like many women, she was told everything looked “normal,” yet she knew deep down that her body was struggling.

Through functional lab testing and Dee Davidson’s root-cause approach to holistic health, Nicole began uncovering the underlying imbalances contributing to her symptoms. In this conversation, you’ll hear how testing — not guessing — helped reveal key areas that needed support, from hormones and metabolism to stress and foundational health practices.

Together, Nicole and Dee discuss how applying simple but strategic holistic health principles started moving the needle in a meaningful way — helping Nicole regain clarity, energy, and confidence in her body again.

If you’ve ever felt dismissed, stuck in symptoms after pregnancy, or frustrated by doing “all the things” without results, this episode will remind you that your body is not broken — it just needs the right information and support.

Tune in to hear Nicole’s story and learn how a deeper look at your health data can help you confidently move toward hormone balance.

In this episode of Confidently Balance Your Hormones, Dee Davidson sits down with fertility educator Julie Lipsett to discuss how women can truly understand their menstrual cycle — and use that knowledge to either achieve pregnancy naturally or prevent it naturally.

So many women are never taught how their cycle actually works. Instead, they are placed on hormonal birth control without understanding ovulation, cervical mucus patterns, progesterone shifts, or what a healthy cycle should look like.

Julie shares how fertility awareness methods empower women to:

• Track ovulation accurately
• Identify fertile windows
• Support hormone balance naturally
• Improve chances of conception
• Avoid pregnancy without hormonal birth control
• Understand what irregular cycles may be signaling

Whether you’re trying to conceive, avoid pregnancy, or simply want to understand your hormones on a deeper level, this episode gives you practical tools and empowering education.

Understanding your cycle is not just about fertility — it’s about metabolic health, hormone balance, and long-term wellness.

Is Pilates the missing piece for midlife hormone balance?

In this episode of Confidently Balance Your Hormones, Dee Davidson, FDN-P, sits down with Beth Sandlin of Trifecta Pilates to discuss why Pilates is one of the most powerful forms of exercise for women over 40 navigating perimenopause, stress, and body changes.

Beth shares her personal journey of discovering Pilates while recovering from cancer treatment. She didn’t need intense workouts or high cortisol training — she needed movement that helped her heal, reconnect, and rebuild trust with her body. What she found was a sustainable, strength-building approach that supports both physical and emotional resilience.

In this conversation, you’ll learn:

• Why traditional workouts may backfire during perimenopause
• How Pilates supports nervous system regulation
• The connection between stress hormones and overtraining
• How to build strength without increasing cortisol
• Why intentional movement improves metabolism and longevity

If you’re feeling frustrated that what used to work no longer does, this episode will help you understand how to move in a way that supports your hormones — not fights them.

In this empowering episode of Confidently Balance Your Hormones, Dee Davidson sits down with Ashley Selman — former NCAA Track & Field Champion, leading fitness trainer, and founder of SELI Strength — to explore why muscle is one of the most powerful longevity and hormone-support tools available to women in midlife.

Ashley is a highly respected coach in Northern California whose clients have ranged from world-class Olympic athletes and elite collegiate track & field teams to everyday women seeking more strength, energy, and vitality. For nearly two decades, she owned the award-winning Evolution Trainers in Mountain View, California — a 14,000 sq ft private personal training and wellness facility. Today, she is focused on harnessing the most effective longevity strategies to help clients rewrite the narrative of aging.

In this conversation, Dee and Ashley unpack:

✔ Why strength training is essential for hormone balance in perimenopause and beyond
✔ How muscle supports metabolism, insulin sensitivity, and body composition
✔ The connection between lifting weights and nervous system resilience
✔ Why endless cardio may be working against your hormones
✔ How to age powerfully instead of fearfully
✔ The mindset shift required to reclaim confidence in your body

As estrogen shifts and stress increases in midlife, many women feel like their bodies have turned against them. Ashley explains why the solution isn’t restriction — it’s rebuilding strength.

This episode is about more than aesthetics. It’s about longevity, vitality, bone health, mental clarity, and stepping into the strongest version of yourself — physically and emotionally.

If you’ve been navigating stubborn weight gain, fatigue, anxiety, or feeling disconnected from your body, this episode will change how you think about movement and aging.

In this powerful episode of the Confidently Balance Your Hormones podcast, host Dee Davidson, FDN-P, unpacks the deeper connection between clear thinking, energy, and physical health with special guest Dr. Sharnael Wolverton Sehon.

Dr. Sharnael—naturopathic doctor, quantum scientist, theologian, and author of The Science of Miracles: RE-Membering the Frequency of Love—shares her personal journey through significant health challenges and how it led her to a global mission of conscious, whole-person healing.

Together, we explore how thoughts, emotions, beliefs, and daily choices directly influence hormones, symptoms, and overall vitality. We discuss how even seemingly small inputs—like chronic stress, subconscious beliefs, or casual alcohol consumption—can cloud our energy, dull mental clarity, and impact decision-making in ways we don’t always connect to our health.

Dr. Sharnael unpacks the role of energy, frequency, and intention in healing and explains how reconnecting with your body’s innate wisdom can lead to more aligned choices, clearer thinking, and sustainable well-being. You’ll walk away with practical tools to raise your vibration, improve mind-body awareness, and support healing from the inside out.

Having worked with over 15,000 clients across 51 countries, Dr. Sharnael brings a unique blend of science, spirituality, and lived experience that will expand how you think about hormones, health, and what’s truly possible for your body.

This is an inspiring conversation for anyone ready to move beyond symptom management and step into greater clarity, consciousness, and whole-health alignment.

In this episode of Confidently Balance Your Hormones, Dee Davidson is joined by fellow Functional Diagnostic Nutrition Practitioner and executive wellness coach Raewyn Guerrero for a powerful conversation on why so many women hit a wall in midlife—and why minerals may be the missing link.

Burnout in your 40s and beyond doesn’t come out of nowhere. Years of stress, under-fueling, over-giving, hormone shifts, and “pushing through” quietly deplete the body’s mineral reserves. Dee and Raewyn explain why midlife is often the moment when the body can no longer compensate—and symptoms like fatigue, anxiety, poor sleep, weight resistance, brain fog, and hormone chaos begin to surface.

This episode dives into Hair Tissue Mineral Analysis (HTMA) as a simple yet profound check-in tool for midlife women. Often referred to as the body’s spark plugs, minerals drive energy production, nervous system balance, hormone signaling, and detox pathways. When minerals are depleted or imbalanced, nothing fires efficiently—no matter how “healthy” you’re eating or how many supplements you’re taking.

Together, Dee and Raewyn discuss:

• Why burnout hits differently in midlife
• How chronic stress reshapes mineral patterns over time
• What HTMA reveals that blood work often misses
• Why minerals are foundational for hormone balance and nervous system resilience
• How rebuilding mineral status creates capacity to heal instead of just cope

If you’re a woman who feels like what used to work no longer does, this episode offers clarity, validation, and a grounded next step. Midlife isn’t a breakdown—it’s often the body asking for a deeper, more personalized approach.

🎧 Tune in to learn how understanding your mineral status can help you move from burnout to resilience—starting at the cellular level.

What happens when you finally stop falling for the same old health promises—and start listening to your body instead?

In this powerful and honest episode, Dee is joined by her client Melanie, who came to her feeling frustrated by stubborn skin issues, weight resistance, and the all-too-familiar midlife “something feels off” experience.

Like so many women, Melanie had tried everything—the diets, the trends, the protocols that promise fast results but never seem to last. Together, Dee and Melanie talk about what it really looks like to step off the fad bandwagon and shift into a more sustainable, empowering approach to health.

You’ll hear how Dee helped Melanie:

• Move away from quick fixes and gimmicky promises
• Learn how her body actually works
• Use functional lab data to uncover hidden stressors and inflammation drivers
• Personalize nutrition, lifestyle, and self-care based on her unique needs
• Build habits that support long-term health—not short-term results

Melanie proudly shares how she’s no longer chasing the next “fix,” but instead creating a lifestyle rooted in awareness, consistency, and self-trust.

If you’re tired of starting over, feeling stuck in your body, or wondering why nothing seems to work anymore—this episode is your reminder that there is another way.

✨ Sustainable health is possible. And it starts when you stop outsourcing your power.

Inflammation is one of the most overlooked root causes behind hormone imbalance, stubborn weight gain, fatigue, brain fog, infertility, autoimmune disease and metabolic dysfunction—especially in women.

In this episode of Confidently Balance Your Hormones, Dee Davidson, FDN-P, breaks down what inflammation really is, why so many people are living with it unknowingly, and how everyday lifestyle and environmental exposures quietly drive chronic inflammatory patterns.

You’ll learn:

• The most common symptoms of chronic inflammation (that are often dismissed as “normal”)
• Why inflammation blocks hormone balance and makes weight loss feel impossible
• The top drivers of inflammation most people miss—food quality, personal care products, water, indoor air, and toxic household exposures
• How endocrine-disrupting chemicals and environmental toxins impact estrogen, thyroid, insulin, and cortisol
• Why “doing all the right things” still doesn’t work when toxic body burden is high

Dee also explains how to test for toxic body burden using advanced functional lab testing, including the Total Toxins Urine Test, and why testing—rather than guessing—is key to reducing inflammation at the root.

The episode closes with practical, realistic first steps you can take to lower your toxic load, plus trusted resources for:

• Cleaner food choices
• Non-toxic personal care and household products
• Water and air filtration
• Community support and education

If you’ve been struggling with unexplained inflammation, hormone symptoms, or feeling stuck in a cycle of trial and error, this episode offers clarity, science-backed insight, and a calmer path forward.

🎧 Listen now to learn how reducing inflammation and toxic load can change your hormones, metabolism, and long-term health.
