In this episode, I explore why so many couples are struggling with fertility today and why natural solutions are often overlooked. I speak with Mike Ye, founder of Project Life, whose work is rooted in his father's 40-year legacy as a traditional Chinese medicine fertility expert. I love this conversation because it reinforces what I share so often in my practice: fertility is never just about reproductive organs. It's a whole-body reflection of hormonal balance, stress levels, lifestyle, sleep patterns, and the environment we live in. Mike shares how natural formulations, personalized herbs, and a holistic approach can help both partners restore balance and improve fertility outcomes, even when previous IVF cycles haven't worked. We also discuss the importance of reducing stress, supporting the nervous system, improving sleep, building healthy habits, and involving both partners in the preconception journey. When we address the root cause, we set the stage for a healthier conception, pregnancy, and baby. Takeaways: INFO ABOUT MIKE Mike Ye is the founder and CEO of Project Life, a modern fertility company rooted in Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM). After witnessing firsthand the limitations of conventional fertility treatments, Mike set out to make his father, Dr. Ye's, 40-year legacy in natural fertility care accessible to the world. Based on his formulations Mike launched Project Life—a personalized, science-backed herbal system that helps women and men restore balance, improve fertility, and conceive naturally.

In this episode, I’m joined by Dr. Marlene Siegel, an integrative veterinarian and passionate advocate for transforming the way we care for our pets. We dive deep into the powerful connection between pet health, environmental toxins, and family wellness — and why what we feed and expose our animals to matters just as much as what we do for ourselves. Dr. Siegel shares her personal story of how a crisis with her daughter’s horse became the turning point that led her from traditional veterinary medicine to a holistic, root-cause approach. She outlines a clear six-step framework for creating a healthy environment for pets, from proper nutrition and clean water to detoxification, emotional health, and mitochondrial support.

As women, we often prioritize everyone else’s health before our own—especially during pregnancy and early motherhood. But our eyes are windows to our overall well-being, and how we care for them directly impacts how we show up for our families. In this episode, I talk with Dr. Pam Theriot, an optometrist passionate about empowering women to protect and support their vision at every stage. We cover how hormonal shifts affect eye health during pregnancy, why eye dryness is so common, and how small daily habits—like hydration, clean beauty choices, blinking more, and nighttime routines—can make a big difference. Dr. Pam also shares practical tools to reduce digital eye strain, care for your eyes postpartum, and help kids develop lifelong healthy screen habits. Takeaways: INFO ABOUT DR. PAM THERIOT Dr. Pam Theriot is an optometrist, author and dry eye specialist based in Louisiana. With over 20 years of experience in eye care, she leads the Dry Eye Relief Center at Lusk Eye Specialists, where she helps patients find personalized, long-term solutions to chronic eye irritation. Her own journey with dry eye began early in her career, when symptoms like dryness and discomfort began affecting her ability to wear contacts, enjoy running, or even apply makeup before work. That frustration turned into a deep, professional mission: to help others feel at ease in their own eyes again. Dr. Theriot now shares her most effective tools and strategies through her book "Alleviate Dry Eye," online courses, a weekly blog and her Editor's Pick Award-Winning TEDx talk. Her work reaches people who struggle with red, irritated eyes and fluctuating vision. Dr. Theriot is on a mission to help 1 million people learn to care for their eyes as routinely as they care for their teeth by building simple everyday habits. DR.
