In this powerful and eye-opening episode of Holistic Health with Melissa, I’m joined by my dear friend and fertility consultant, Dr. Trisha Zehrung, to dive deep into the often overlooked truths about fertility, cycle health, and how chronic stress can silently sabotage your body’s natural rhythms.

After walking through her own personal journey of loss, frustration, and lack of support in the traditional medical system, Dr. Trisha made it her mission to help couples uncover the root causes of subfertility and hormonal imbalance through holistic, faith-based solutions. Together, we open up about our own miscarriage stories and discuss why fertility is about so much more than timing and lab work.

Whether you're actively trying to conceive or simply want to understand your body better, this episode is packed with important insights about:

• Why your menstrual cycle is a vital sign of overall health

• How physical and emotional stress can disrupt ovulation

• The limitations of traditional fertility definitions and testing

• Lifestyle shifts that can support hormone balance and cycle health

• How inflammation, trauma, and toxic overload contribute to subfertility

• What doctors aren’t telling women about miscarriage, conception, and healing

This conversation is a must-listen for women, couples, and anyone who wants to better understand the divine design of the female body—and how to support it holistically.

In this powerful episode of Holistic Health with Melissa, host Melissa Armstrong sits down with certified holistic health and life coach Melissa Rohlfs to explore the often-overlooked relationship we have with food and how childhood experiences shape our eating patterns well into adulthood.

Melissa Rohlfs shares her deeply personal journey from using food as a coping mechanism in childhood to developing binge eating patterns as an overwhelmed new mother. After being diagnosed with PTSD and discovering how her poor nutrition was affecting her mental health, she transformed her life through naturopathic care and eventually became passionate about helping other women do the same.

In this episode, you'll discover:

• How childhood trauma and family dynamics create lasting food coping mechanisms
• The connection between nutrition, mood, and overall mental health
• Why "diet culture" keeps us trapped in cycles of judgment and shame around food
• The transformative power of replacing judgment with curiosity in your relationship with food
• Practical first steps to begin healing your relationship with food today
• Why awareness is the crucial first step in any healing journey
• The importance of creating time and space for self-reflection as busy moms
• How taking care of yourself first actually serves your children better

Melissa emphasizes that food is neither "good" nor "bad" – it simply either fuels your body or depletes your energy. The key is learning what works for your unique body and circumstances while approaching yourself with compassion and curiosity rather than harsh judgment.

This conversation is perfect for busy moms who recognize they're using food to cope with stress, anyone struggling with their relationship with food, or those ready to break generational patterns and model healthier behaviors for their children.

In this solo episode, I’m breaking down the key differences between conventional medicine and functional medicine—how they approach health, why root-cause healing matters, and what I’ve learned on my own journey to keep myself happy and healthy.

I'll dive into the 7 daily habits I live by to keep my body and mind thriving:
✨ Prayer & Meditation
✨ Moving My Body
✨ Prioritizing Protein & Fiber
✨ Hydration
✨ Quality Sleep
✨ Sunlight Exposure
✨ Deep Connection with Others

These habits have been game-changers in my healing journey, and I’m sharing how you can implement them in your life too! Remember, it's ONE habit at a time, don't try to implement everything at once. That's a recipe for failure. Just try one and once you master that, add another, and another, and another. You get the point.
