The role of stress, inflammation, lifestyle, and how treating symptoms alone misses the bigger picture.From hormone imbalances and cortisol dysfunction to cycle-based training, functional testing, and personalized care, this episode challenges the one-size-fits-all approach to women’s health.They also unpack why women’s bodies have historically been misunderstood in research, how modern lifestyles are impacting hormones, and what practical changes actually move the needle.If you’ve ever felt like something isn’t right but couldn’t get answers, this episode will connect the dots.⏱️ Chapters00:00 – Intro: Dr. Hart & Dr. Fashho01:00 – Why women’s health is shifting03:50 – Research based on men05:00 – Root cause vs hormone fixes06:30 – Stress & inflammation drivers10:45 – Limits of traditional care15:50 – Cortisol & burnout17:30 – Why slowing down works18:30 – 15-minute visit problem19:45 – Functional testing explained22:00 – Personalized treatment24:00 – Why this care feels unfamiliar26:00 – “Normal labs” but still off28:30 – Trial and error in healing30:00 – Community & support31:30 – Small changes that matter33:30 – Exercise & cortisol balance35:00 – Cycle-based training37:00 – Supplements that help40:00 – Hydration & electrolytes42:30 – Mind-body connection46:30 – Rethinking postpartum care48:00 – Electrolytes vs water49:00 – A new healthcare model50:30 – Final thoughtsIf you’ve been focusing on diet, workouts, and supplements but still don’t feel like yourself, this conversation shows why and what to do differently.👍 Like, subscribe, and share this episode with someone who’s been struggling to get real answers about their health.—Connect with Charise & Abigail (Eviva md)📲 Instagram→ https://www.instagram.com/eviva.md/—💫 Join the Living Vividly CommunityInstagram → https://www.instagram.com/livingvividlypodcast/Facebook → https://www.facebook.com/livingvividlypodcast
