Confused about which supplements to take? Before you add another bottle to your cabinet, let’s talk about what you’re trying to address, what you already take, and whether your choices make sense for you.

In this episode of Confidently Balance Your Hormones, Dee Davidson, FDN-P, shares her personalized approach to supplement guidance, especially for women navigating midlife, hormone changes, and questions about energy, digestion, and metabolism.

You’ll learn why more isn’t always better, how overlapping ingredients can add up, and why your nutrition, lifestyle, medications, and health history belong in the conversation.

Dee also discusses hair tissue mineral analysis (HTMA), how she uses it alongside other information in her practice, and its limitations. HTMA measures minerals in hair; it cannot independently determine nutrient deficiencies or tell you exactly which supplements you need.

What do you do when you know something isn’t right with your body, but appointment after appointment leaves you without the answers or relief you’re looking for?

In this week’s episode of Confidently Balance Your Hormones, I’m sitting down with my client Michelle to share her personal health journey.

Before we began working together, Michelle was struggling with persistent rashes and neuropathy. She had already seen five different doctors but was still searching for answers and a path forward.

Today, her rashes have completely cleared, and she’s sharing what changed along the way.

We talk about what it felt like to keep searching when she wasn’t getting the answers she needed, what we uncovered by taking a more comprehensive look at her health history and lifestyle, the changes she implemented, and what she has learned about advocating for her own health. She has also improved sympoms and has almost eliminated the neuropathy.

Michelle’s story is a powerful reminder that when you haven’t found your answers yet, it doesn’t necessarily mean there aren’t more questions worth asking.

If you’re experiencing symptoms and feel like you’ve been told everything looks “normal,” yet you still don’t feel like yourself, I’d love to learn more about your story.

What happens when you stop following one-size-fits-all health advice and start understanding what YOUR body actually needs?

In this special client success episode of Confidently Balance Your Hormones, I’m sitting down with my former client Trisha to talk about her health journey, the changes we made while working together, and, most importantly, how she has maintained those changes for almost three years.

Trisha released nearly 40 pounds and has kept the weight off, but her story is about so much more than a number on the scale.

We talk about the personalized changes she made to her nutrition, movement, stress management, rest, supplements, and everyday habits, and how those changes eventually became part of her lifestyle rather than another temporary “health plan.”

Trisha is a shining example of why personalized healthcare can move the needle. When you understand your unique body, address the bigger health picture, and create habits you can actually maintain, the goal isn’t simply short-term results. It’s creating a healthier way of living that lasts.

If you’re tired of starting over or wondering whether sustainable change is really possible, Trisha’s story will leave you inspired.

What if our physical symptoms could be influenced not only by what’s happening in the body, but also by what we’ve experienced emotionally?

In this episode of Confidently Balance Your Hormones, Dee Davidson sits down with Dr. Katherine Willow, a fourth-generation naturopathic doctor with more than 40 years of experience, to explore German New Medicine and its perspective on the connection between emotional experiences, the brain, and physical symptoms.

Dr. Katherine shares what first drew her to German New Medicine, how it differs from other mind-body approaches, and how she has incorporated this framework into her naturopathic practice. We also explore how unresolved stress and emotional experiences may be viewed through the GNM lens when it comes to hormonal symptoms and other complex health concerns.

We talk about:

• What German New Medicine is and how Dr. Katherine discovered it
• The mind-body connection from a GNM perspective
• Emotional conflicts, triggers, and physical symptoms
• How this framework may be applied to hormonal concerns
• Examples from Dr. Katherine’s clinical experience
• Using self-awareness and emotional exploration as part of a broader wellness journey
• Where someone can begin if they’re curious about learning more

This conversation offers a different perspective on the mind-body connection and invites you to become curious about the role our life experiences, stress, and emotions may play in how we feel.

What if one of the missing pieces in women’s health and personal growth isn’t another supplement, diet, or wellness routine, but community?

In this episode of Confidently Balance Your Hormones, Dee Davidson sits down with Tina Walsh of Lighten Up Wellness to talk about something they’re both deeply passionate about: creating spaces where women can feel supported, connected, seen, and inspired.

Dee and Tina are also sharing the story behind the launch of their new Women’s Circle for Growth & Inspiration, a monthly gathering created for women who are craving deeper connection and intentional time away from the constant demands of everyday life.

They talk about why so many women, especially in midlife, can feel lonely or disconnected even when surrounded by family, coworkers, and responsibilities, and why meaningful community can be such an important part of our overall well-being.

In this conversation, you’ll hear about:

• Why community and social connection matter for women’s health and well-being
• The difference between simply being around people and feeling genuinely connected
• Why women often put themselves and their own needs last
• How stress, busy schedules, caregiving, and life transitions can leave women feeling isolated
• Why Dee and Tina felt called to create a monthly women’s circle
• What happens inside the Women’s Circle for Growth & Inspiration
• Using meditation, journaling, reflection, oracle cards, conversation, and community as tools for personal growth
• Creating friendships and connection as an adult
• Why making time for yourself and your community isn’t selfish
• How women can begin finding their own “tribe”

Dee also shares the perfectly timed “TRIBE” card she pulled after a beach conversation about how badly women need spaces like this, and why it felt like one more nudge that it was finally time to bring the circle to life.

Whether you’re navigating midlife, menopause, stress, personal growth, changing friendships, or simply craving deeper connections with like-minded women, this conversation is a reminder that we were never meant to do everything alone.

If you’re in SE MA or Rhode Island Dee and Tina would love to welcome you to the Women’s Circle for Growth & Inspiration.

What do you do when you're living with pain and symptoms, but your bloodwork and doctor's appointments aren't giving you the answers you're looking for?

In this episode of Confidently Balance Your Hormones, Dee Davidson, FDN-P, sits down with her client Bonnie, who originally came to Dee through a referral after struggling with pain and wanting a deeper understanding of what was happening inside her body.

Like so many people, Bonnie had gone through traditional bloodwork and medical appointments, yet she still felt like pieces of her health puzzle were missing.

Rather than continuing to guess, Bonnie decided to take a root-cause approach using functional lab testing.

In this candid client conversation, Bonnie shares her personal experience of working with Dee, what she learned about her body through testing, the changes she implemented, and what happened as she began looking beyond symptoms and focusing on the bigger picture.

You'll hear them discuss:

• What brought Bonnie to functional health in the first place
• The frustration of having symptoms without clear answers
• Why “normal” conventional bloodwork doesn't necessarily tell the entire story
• How functional testing can provide additional information about areas such as gut health, minerals, nutrition, inflammation, hormones, and environmental stressors
• The importance of connecting lab findings with symptoms, lifestyle, and health history
• Why personalized recommendations can look very different from a cookie-cutter wellness plan
• What Bonnie learned about becoming an advocate for her own health
• The changes she noticed throughout her journey

And there was an especially meaningful moment after we finished recording.

Bonnie sent Dee a beautiful message thanking her for how much she had helped her.

This is exactly why Dee does this work.

It's not about chasing every symptom with another supplement.

It's about helping people ask better questions, investigate potential underlying contributors, understand their bodies more deeply, and finally feel empowered to participate in their own health journey.

If you've ever been told “everything looks normal” while knowing that you don't feel normal, Bonnie's story is an episode you'll want to hear.

Hit play and hear Bonnie's journey in her own words.
