Health and wellness podcast from Dr. Kourtney Chichilitti, a clinical pharmacist who is now combining her profession with her passion in order to help others find real healing through a variety of holistic practices. It's time for you to finally have BALANCE WELLNESS SOLUTIONS!
What if your symptoms weren't the problem—but the message?
In this deeply personal and inspiring conversation, I sit down with holistic detox and fasting specialist Natasha Duborg to explore her remarkable healing journey through PCOS, insulin resistance, binge eating, mold illness, adrenal dysfunction, and more.
Natasha vulnerably shares how years of chronic symptoms led her to look beyond conventional explanations and begin asking deeper questions about what her body was trying to tell her.
Together, we discuss:
✨ Mold illness and the many ways it can impact the body
✨ Brain fog, fatigue, inflammation, and unexplained symptoms
✨ The role genetics may play in chronic illness
✨ Nervous system regulation and why healing requires safety
✨ Somatic practices and emotional healing
✨ Therapeutic fasting and dry fasting
✨ Body image, weight loss, and the emotional side of transformation
✨ Learning to trust your body again
✨ Why symptoms may be messengers rather than enemies
This conversation is raw, honest, and filled with powerful insights for anyone who has ever felt dismissed, misunderstood, or frustrated by ongoing health struggles.
And honestly? We barely scratched the surface. Our conversation about body image alone could have been an entire episode of its own.

In this episode, I sit down with my friend Mike as we dive into a real, unfiltered conversation about health, hormones, and what it actually takes to feel better.
Mike shares his personal health journey—the ups, the frustrations, and what finally started to shift when he stopped chasing symptoms and started addressing the root cause.
We talk about:
• Why so many people stay stuck despite doing “all the right things”
• The problem with symptom-chasing (and why more supplements aren’t the answer)
• Hormone imbalances and what’s really driving them
• The importance of looking at the body as a whole system—not isolated parts
• What it means to support your health from the terrain up
This conversation is a reminder that healing doesn’t come from quick fixes. It comes from understanding your body, asking better questions, and addressing what’s actually driving dysfunction beneath the surface.
If you’ve been told “everything looks normal” but you still don’t feel right—this episode is for you.
Mike is a former D1 athlete and professional football player, a coach of one of our local high school football teams, a motivational speaker, Trainer, and Partner/President of 23 Game Day Men’s Health Locations.

What an amazing and truly inspiring guest on today’s episode. The most emotional episode yet… I sit down and talk with Nicole Gebhardt about using her pain for purpose….
I just got done reading her book A Queen Saves Herself. It is a raw, bold, and unforgettable memoir by Nicole Gebhardt. It recounts unfathomable tragedies that led to her transformational and triumph over a childhood of molestation and rape years of depression and abusive first marriage, the death of a child and miscarriages. Through a faithful and almost fatal fall down the stairs. Nicole began a journey of discovery and evolution that led her to overcome grief, addiction, and low self-esteem, shaking off the victim persona and not accepting even her perceived conciliate title or survivor. Nicole rose to find her purpose. A must read for any woman looking for strength renewal, Hope and Inspiration.

On today’s episode…I sit down with Janet Needham: Hormone Pharmacist, Podcast Host, Women’s Health Influencer
Janet is from Velva, a rural town in ND. In 1992, she earned a BS from NDSU College of Pharmacy. After graduation, she moved to Moses Lake, WA, and worked in a corporate retail pharmacy. However, she quickly realized that a pharmacy career in an insurance-based healthcare model was more about “sick care” than health care. In 1998, Shawn and Janet opened Moses Lake Professional Pharmacy. Janet has specialized in hormone balancing for over 25 years.
Janet hosts a twice-weekly podcast with Shawn called Health Solutions with Shawn and Janet Needham, which can be found on many popular social media and audio podcast platforms. Their podcast focuses on natural healing and wellness and brings Shawn and Janet’s expertise to the masses. They’ve been honored to interview many distinguished guests, including Dr. Mary Talley Bowden, Robb Wolf, Dr. Scott Jensen, Dr. Keith Smith, Dr. Kelly Victory, Dr. Peter McCullough, and Dr. Shawn Baker, among many others.
Over 25 years ago, Shawn and Janet Needham—both pharmacists—opened their compounding pharmacy, Moses Lake Professional Pharmacy, in Washington. At first, they took whatever business they could to get it off the ground. After a few years, they painfully realized they were a part of the problem and decided to take a stand and become the solution for their patients.
Today, their compounding pharmacy, which operates on a direct customer pay model, is thriving. Their pharmacy specializes in Bioidentical Hormone Balancing and is licensed in six states, with more to come.

It As Never Just About Me...The Journey That Saved My Life
Get your copy here: https://a.co/d/ddQWFnb
Could He Really Leave His Family? His Kids? In January 2016, Chris David was grieving the loss of two close friends, facing the end of a tumultuous marriage, and heading into a custody battle for his youngest son. He was also thinking about how to kill himself. Convinced it would fix his problems and end his pain, he was standing on the edge of a cliff of despair, somewhere he never thought he would be. But as Chris David explains, there was one major problem with that plan. “My wife may have wished me dead, but I didn’t want to leave my sons without a father. I couldn’t abandon them and let them feel the same way I did when I was a kid. My boys didn’t deserve that. No matter what happened and how horrible I felt at that moment, I couldn’t do that to them. I didn’t want to do that to them.” Realizing he had some work to do on himself before he could be the father he needed to be, Chris began a five-month journey zig-zagging across the southern US with his lovable sheepdog O’Malley by his side. Using his inner voice as a guide, Chris’s journey was marked along the way with “strangers” that would validate his choices and point him toward home.
In It Was Never Just About Me: The Journey That Saved My Life, Chris David lays bare the fractured family that raised him, his desire for love and validation, and the void inside him that could not be filled until he faced his challenges head-on. He details the peace he on his found on his journey and the strength he draws on every day to be the father he wants to be. A raw, inspirational memoir, It Was Never Just About Me: The Journey That Saved My Life is both honest and moving—and a pat on the back to anyone struggling to take control of their life.

Colleen Faltot Energetic Weight Loss Coach
I am a person in recovery from alcoholism, a disordered relationship with my body and with food, as well as from debilitating anxiety. As a trauma informed breathwork facilitator & certified holistic health coach I have developed my own methodology of coaching I’ve used to help 100’s of clients to step into their own healing journey. Using somatic healing - movement, breathwork & music. Through the last 7 years I’ve owned a brick & mortar holistic gym & have transitioned to online coaching to help empower people to reach their full pontiac in this lifetime. Human beings are the only life force that come to this planet then don’t grow into the full being they have the capacity to become because they get caught up in limiting belief systems from past trauma stored in our emotional & physical bodies. It’s my passion & mission in life to show people the path to reaching their next level through sustainable small shifts in their day to day lives. The number of clients coming to me that had achieved great results but approached their bodies from an ego / negativity based mindset and would fixate on the next thing about their bodies they wanted to change was a huge trigger for me. I was guided to create this new age approach to weight loss based on a foundation of self love and acceptance. There are WAY too many people approaching their relationship with their bodies and food from a self deprecating mindset. This comes from a spiritual void in most cases stemming from childhood trauma and perpetuated by the media that I am on a mission to heal one mindset at a time!

Today I sit down with David Miller and we talk about all the health benefits that come from Hemp!
Randomly through a family friend, two seasoned entrepreneurs were first introduced at the perfect time. Maelzer had just started his new cannabis cultivation company that was exploding with growth, while Miller was selling his business of 15 years seeking to find a more passionate life purpose. Maelzer's invaluable experience is self taught through the School of Hard Knocks and Mr. Miller's education is from MIT, Univ. of Tennessee, and Oglethorpe.
Maelzer has been a technically savy cultivator for decades in the SMB space and Miller ran sales and operations in corporate America and the SMB space for 20 years. Combining these operational and cultivation skills, their Yin-Yang approach to cannabis has created a strategy and business plan focused on quality, health, and wellness. There is a special leadership factor you'll learn by listening to their two different dynamics and it's exactly what the cannabis industry demands. This might surprise you the most...how is all this being done in a state (Tennessee) that doesn't legally allow marijuana? Maelzer and Miller share their personal journey so you can see "What's Next to Come" in cannabis.
Maelzer was born and raised in East TN with 3 beautiful adult girls, a loving wife, Shannon, a stepson Easton and two French Bulldogs, Toby and Lulu. Miller, also born and raised in East TN, has a blended family of 3 boys, adopted cousin, a cracker jack of a wife, Suzanne, and 3 dogs, Gogo, Jersey, and Alfi. Whether it's on a sandy beach or in a grow facility, you'll be amazed at the magic that transpires when these two get together!

“Hello, my name is David Stone. I have owned Professional Pharmacy of Pennsburg since 1995. I also own 2 other Professional Pharmacies in Pottstown, PA. I have been doing endurance sports since I was 19 years old and started doing triathlons in 2009. I completed my first Ironman competition at Lake Placid, NY in July.

On today’s episode, I sit down with Dr. Winnie Chan Wang, and we talk all things:
· The 2 basic concepts of traditional Chinese medicine
· All things acupuncture and the amazing healing stories from it
· What is Spiritual bypassing?
· The gift in anger/fear, along with the power of forgiveness
Winnie is a lover of science and spirituality, and her vision is for all medicine to join as One. She is a trauma-informed licensed acupuncturist, teacher, shadow worker, Reiki, and Shamanic Tao healer, as well as a professor in acupuncture at Alhambra Medical University. She is passionate about empowering people with chronic pain to step into their source power to heal themselves. Winnie’s clients often have anxiety and depression. They often feel stuck in their physical or emotional pain. She believes the key to healing is to stand powerfully in our authenticity. When we do the shadow work to integrate our darkness with our light, we turn our wounds into power. We shift from being a victim to being the author of our lives.
In her book “Honoring Darkness” that she co-authored with Ji W. Choi, doctoral candidate in psychology, they searched deep into their traumas and made lemonade out of the lemons. As they navigated the darkness of grief, anger, suppression, fear, unworthiness, defensiveness, lack mentality, taking everyone for granted, manipulation and shame, they gained trust and purpose.

On today’s episode, I sit down with Olly Wood, and we talk all things:
· How the idea of body reset came about
· Lifestyle modifications that can change your health
· Making those behavioral changes last and easy to maintain
· What you eat is what you are
'OLLY WOOD'
"I started off as the usual “sports guy” in school. I did every sport under the sun. Triathlons, rowing, polo, rugby, even bodybuilding shows. But as I start to run a business and slowly build a company with over 15 staff in my mid-20s I quickly noticed how much stress and mental exhaustion affected your body physically. Running a fitness business, I was doing all the “right” things. I was exercising, I was eating well, yet I noticed my energy getting worse and worse. I got to the point where I was coaching over 150 clients with debilitating levels of chronic fatigue getting in the way of every area of my life without getting any answers from doctors or “professionals” in this space. This took me down the path of discovering all the REAL obstacles people face when trying to get in shape - no amount of “dieting” or exercise will overcome the level of stress and inflammation that is making it impossible to feel our best every day. Through my recovery experience and the integration of all three areas, lifestyle, nutrition, and movement. I’ve now committed the last decade of my life to the development of The Meta Project with a step-by- step system alongside world-class coaches that has now impacted 1000s of clients from around the world.

On today’s episode, I sit down with Dr. Renee Wellenstein, and we talk all things:
· What causes a low libido in women?
· How does hormonal imbalance contribute to low libido in women?
· Why is the topic of low libido in women so taboo?
· What can a women do right away to start improving her libido?
Dr. Renee is a double board certified doctor who has been working with women for over 20 years and due to her own personal health challenges, she stepped outside the box of conventional medicine to take a radically different approach to heal herself from the deep depths of burnout. About a decade ago, Dr. Renee was living what she thought was her dream life; she was an extremely busy Ob/Gyn, married to a doctor, with toddler twins and had moved to a quaint, quiet town in the country. One day in May 2012, Dr. Renee fell off of her horse during a riding lesson and broke her back. She not only struggled with severe back pain, but with fatigue and the inability to focus. Her doctor diagnosed her with depression, but her symptoms did not improve after trying two different antidepressants. Two years after her injury, Dr. Renee was still struggling with unexplained symptoms. After exhausting all of her options in the conventional healthcare system, she was put in contact with a doctor who was an “anti-aging” practitioner. She finally received the appropriate diagnosis, her symptoms resolved and she got back on her feet and joined the world of functional medicine. In August 2019, Dr. Renee started Kaspira Elite Health Consulting, LLC. Throughout her journey she has certainly faced her fair share of obstacles and has mastered the art of leaping into transitions with each pivot. Now Dr. Renee empowers women to take control of their health, jumpstart their energy, improve their confidence, and reignite their libido!

It took a complete health crash to lead Kristen Bowen to create Living the Good Life Naturally in 2002. Autoimmune issues and a series of failed surgeries left Kristen bedridden and depressed, with daily seizures. Through research and looking for outside the box solutions, she discovered that to regain her health she needed to build a strong foundation. That foundation included food as medicine and the number one building block for optimal health: Magnesium. She discovered that oral magnesium was not effective and began using liquid magnesium as a foot soak, finding that the body could utilize it more effectively. As Kristen’s health improved, she began to research and create natural bath and body products for herself, family, and friends with skin sensitivities. She began sharing her knowledge as she researched and found clean sources of whole food supplements and minerals. She never intended to start a business, but friends offered to pay her for her products and advice. Living the Good Life Naturally was created. Starting with one-on-one consultations with clients, to farmers markets for the bath and body line, Kristen’s business quickly moved from the small kitchen and extra bedroom in her home to a retail space in Logan, Utah. She hosted a Rocky Mountain Regional radio show for seven years where she answered questions on natural health. This led to workshops and keynote opportunities at natural health conferences. This quickly led to needing a full-time team for production, dealing with marketing, running the retail shop, and a multitude of things that it takes to run a business. From small beginnings in her 10 by 15 basement kitchen, to her warehouse, store, and online business, Kristen has helped thousands of individuals reclaim their own health foundation. As she tells her clients: “You are the CEO of your health. Let me be on your board of directors.”

You deserve to get to the root cause of what has prevented you from stepping into the life you are created to live.
“It’s time we create the FUNCTIONAL MEDICINE REVOLUTION and change lives around the world using the healing modalities that have existed forever – natural and holistic medicine.”

For today’s episode, we have Dr. Judy, who is a certified functional medicine specialist, a Board Certified geriatric pharmacist, lifestyle coach, and diabetes care and education specialist. She is the CEO and founder of holistic options and personal empowerment also known as hope, offering a multifaceted program to provide relief from burnout, stress, fatigue, and chronic disease. Hope uses a transformative approach to target the restoration of health and well being in both body and mind. As a functional medicine practitioner, Dr. Judy understands there is no magic pill to treat symptoms or disease. What works for some may cause harm to others. She is passionate about helping other people identify the root causes of their symptoms, unravel their origins, and then use them to optimize their health and quality of life. Her focus is on individualized targeted therapies based on each person's unique needs. Rather than the overuse one size fits all standardized approach of care many people are becoming unsatisfied with. Get to know her more!
“The job turned from awesomeness and firmness into corporate regulatory management, Judy, sitting at our desk running reports, quality management, all that kind of stuff. So I was burnt out probably about 10 years into the hospital management job. It was intense. So the burnout started, at least then that I can remember and I had to leave that job. ”
- How she firmly believes that healthcare workers need some break too.
- The lessons she learned in a hard way through this COVID situation.
- Taking care of oneself is the number one rule if she wants to take care of others.
- PTSD and how it affects her and the people in healthcare.
- How a friend saved Dr. Judy from a darkhole.
Dr. Judy Magalhaes is a Certified Functional Medicine Specialists, Board-Certified Geriatric Pharmacist, Lifestyle Coach, and Diabetes Care & Education Specialist. She is the CEO & Founder of Holistic Options & Personal Empowerment, LLC (a.k.a. HOPE, LLC) offering a multi-faceted program to provide relief from burnout, stress, fatigue and chronic disease. HOPE uses a transformative approach to target the restoration of health and wellbeing in both body and mind.
For more than 30 years, Judy has worked in multiple healthcare settings ranging from hospitals, community, long-term and primary care to collaborate with providers and patients to optimize medication regimens, reduce adverse reactions, and manage chronic diseases. In addition to her many achievements in quality and safety initiatives, provider-patient satisfaction and improving medication adherence, Judy was also recognized as “Preceptor of the Year” by Massachusetts College of Pharmacy and Health Sciences (MCPHS) pharmacy interns, for her mentorship in the acute care setting.
Even as she thrived in this award-winning career, Judy felt the toll of her high-stress and demanding job as a clinical pharmacist manager and began to see it as the probable “root cause” of her own declining health and chronic symptoms (stress, headaches, weight gain, fatigue, anxiety, and pain). She sought new ways to improve her health without prescription medications or surgical interventions. It was during this time of research and reflection that Judy discovered Functional Medicine and subsequently used it to transform her health through lifestyle changes and nutrition.
As she closely examined her decades spent working in the healthcare system, Judy developed an awareness and realization that even with modern medical interventions and medications, people stayed sick and their battles with chronic diseases waged on, often attributed to age or bad genes. More medications were doled out to control symptoms and a “prescribing cascade” ensued, elevating risks of adverse effects, drug interactions, toxicities, and nutrient deficiencies. Judy watched people take excess medications and yet they remained ill. She knew there was a better way.
As a Functional Medicine practitioner, Dr. Judy understands there is no magic pill to treat symptoms or diseases. What works for some, may cause harm to others. She is passionate about helping people identify the root causes of their symptoms, unravel their origins, and then use them to optimize their health and quality of life. Her focus is on individualized, targeted therapies based on each person’s unique needs, rather than the overused one-size-fits-all standardized approach of care many are becoming unsatisfied with. Dr. Judy is thrilled to bring her experience and passion in this new realm. Through expertise and her own personal journey, she is excited to deploy her knowledge and wisdom to help patients restore good health through holistic options and functional medicine practices.
