Her Health Revival

In this episode, Erin sits down with Elizabeth Martell, a dual-certified family and psychiatric nurse practitioner and founder of Lux Health, a concierge practice in New Hampshire.

If you’ve ever been told your thyroid is “normal”… but you still feel exhausted, foggy, and stuck in your body — this episode is for you.
The truth is, thyroid health is often oversimplified and misunderstood.
Most providers rely on a single lab marker, TSH, to assess thyroid function. But this only tells a small part of the story — and it’s one of the biggest reasons so many women go undiagnosed and untreated.
In this episode, we break down what your thyroid actually does and the three ways it can dysfunction:
✔️ Production issues (what traditional medicine typically looks for)✔️ Conversion issues (the most common and most missed)✔️ Blockage issues, including the role of Reverse T3
We also talk about why medications like Synthroid don’t work for everyone — and in some cases, can leave you feeling worse despite “better” labs.
You’ll learn:
• Why TSH alone isn’t enough• How T4 and T3 actually work in the body• The role of stress, gut health, and inflammation in thyroid function• Why you can have normal labs and still have real symptoms• What a more complete thyroid approach looks like
If you’re dealing with fatigue, weight resistance, brain fog, hair thinning, or just feel like something is off — don’t ignore it.
Your body is giving you signals. You just need the right framework to understand them.

Estrogen has gotten a bad reputation over the years. Many women have been told it’s dangerous, unnecessary, or something you should avoid until you’re fully in menopause. But the truth is, perimenopause is often the time when estrogen support can matter the most.
In this episode of Peri Chats, we break down what is really happening in the body during perimenopause and why so many women start feeling “off” years before menopause actually arrives.
Estrogen doesn’t simply decline overnight. During perimenopause it can swing dramatically from month to month, creating the hormonal rollercoaster responsible for many of the symptoms women experience in their late 30s and 40s — from anxiety and sleep disruption to brain fog, joint pain, and cycle changes.
In this episode we discuss:
• Why estrogen fluctuations — not just decline — drive many perimenopause symptoms• How bone density begins to decline earlier than most women realize• The critical role estrogen plays in protecting the brain and cognition• How estrogen supports cardiovascular and metabolic health• Why stabilizing hormones during perimenopause can make a significant difference in how women feel• The importance of looking at hormones as a system — including progesterone, thyroid, gut health, stress, and detox pathways
This conversation is about education and understanding what’s actually happening inside the body, so women can make informed decisions about their health during this transition.
If you’ve ever been told “your labs are normal” but you still don’t feel like yourself, this episode will help you understand why.

Podcast Episode Description
How do you know if you're in perimenopause… or if something else is going on?
In this episode of Peri Chats, we’re talking about the phase of life that so many women experience but very few truly understand — perimenopause.
For many women, this transition begins years before menopause, often showing up in subtle ways long before periods stop. Anxiety that feels new, sleep disruption, brain fog, changes in weight or energy, worsening PMS, or simply feeling like your body is no longer responding the way it used to.
The frustrating part? Many women are told their labs are “normal” and that everything is fine — even though they clearly feel different.
In this episode, Erin breaks down:
• What perimenopause actually is and when it typically begins• The most common early symptoms women notice• Why hormone testing during this phase can be confusing• What underlying hormone changes may be happening• Lifestyle and treatment approaches that can help support your body through this transition
We also begin the conversation around estrogen and why it matters so much during perimenopause — not just for symptoms, but for long-term health including the brain, bones, and cardiovascular system.
Perimenopause isn’t the beginning of decline. It’s a biological transition — and when you understand what’s happening in your body, you can support it in a much more intentional way.
If you’ve ever thought “Something feels off but no one can explain why,” this episode is for you.

In this episode of Peri Chats, Erin sits down with Mandy Bazemore to talk openly about the reality of perimenopause and the changes so many women experience but often don’t understand.
Mandy shares her personal journey navigating weight gain, hormone shifts, and the frustration that can come with feeling like your body suddenly starts working against you. Together, Erin and Mandy break down what is actually happening during perimenopause and why so many women struggle during this transition.
They also dive into the truth about GLP-1 medications—what they are, what they aren’t, and why there is so much confusion around them. Erin explains when these medications can be helpful, the biggest myths circulating online, and how to use them appropriately for weight loss while still protecting muscle and supporting overall metabolic health.
This conversation is honest, educational, and empowering for any woman navigating perimenopause and trying to make sense of the endless information about hormones and weight loss.
In this episode we cover:• What perimenopause really is and why symptoms can feel so confusing• Mandy’s personal journey through hormonal changes• Why weight gain happens during perimenopause• The truth about GLP-1 medications• Common myths and misconceptions• How to use GLP-1s in a way that supports muscle, metabolism, and long-term health

In this powerful conversation, Erin sits down with Laura Oakes to unpack what may be the most overlooked factor in women’s health:
Your nervous system.
For so many high-achieving, driven women — the missing piece isn’t another supplement, stricter macros, or pushing harder.
It’s regulation.
We dive into why nervous system regulation is often the foundational step that must come first — especially if you feel stuck despite “doing everything right.”
Inside this episode, we cover:
✨ What nervous system regulation actually means✨ Why so many women are living in chronic fight-or-flight✨ How chronic stress elevates cortisol and drives inflammation✨ The cortisol → blood sugar → insulin → belly fat cascade✨ Why stress keeps the body in a protective, survival-based state✨ How a dysregulated nervous system disrupts sleep, energy, and mood✨ Why stress suppresses libido and slows metabolism✨ The connection between alcohol, inflammation, and stress signaling✨ Why alcohol keeps the body in a heightened stress-response state✨ Why your body cannot heal, lose weight, or truly recover when it doesn’t feel safe
We break down how a chronically activated nervous system impacts the entire body — altering stress patterns, impairing blood sugar regulation, increasing inflammatory signaling, disrupting sleep architecture, and keeping you locked in survival mode instead of repair mode.
If you feel like you're constantly pushing, wired-but-tired, inflamed, stuck with weight, or reaching for alcohol to unwind — this episode will likely hit home.
Because healing doesn’t start with doing more.
It starts with safety.

Midline Weight Gain: What’s Really Happening as Hormones Shift
In this episode of Peri Chats, we’ll discuss why weight so often shifts to the midsection as hormones begin to change — even when your habits haven’t.
We’ll talk through what’s actually happening beneath the surface, including:
How changes in estrogen, progesterone, insulin, cortisol, and thyroid influence fat storage
Why belly weight can increase even without significant changes on the scale
The difference between visceral and subcutaneous fat and why midline weight gain matters for long-term health
How chronic stress, under-eating, poor sleep, and overtraining can worsen abdominal fat storage
Why many women are told “it’s just aging” — and what’s being missed
In this episode, we’ll also discuss what women can do about it — from nutrition strategies and strength training to sleep, stress regulation, and hormone support — so you can work with your physiology instead of against it.
This conversation isn’t about quick fixes or shrinking your body.It’s about understanding your hormones, your metabolism, and your options — so you can make informed decisions for your health now and for years to come.
