Vibing Well with Dr. Stacy (A Functional Medicine Approach to Healing): Recent Episodes
Dr. Stacy Barczak Baker ND IHP
Dr. Stacy, a traditional Naturopath who specializes in Functional Medicine, is answering your questions in regards to health and healing. From hormones to gut healing and everything in between - listen in as she shares stories of her own healing journey, what she sees clinically, and what she has researched to give you the most up to date answers when it comes to healing holistically.
We break down the three most overlooked levers in a healing journey: fat, fiber, and fasting, and why your results change when you understand the “why” behind each one. We connect cholesterol, insulin, bile flow, gut health, and metabolic flexibility into one practical framework you can actually use.
• why healthy fat supports cell membranes, hormones, bile flow, immunity, and brain and nerve protection
• how to think about cholesterol as repair demand, not just dietary intake
• large buoyant LDL vs small dense LDL and what increases cardiovascular risk
• what damages LDL particles, including high glucose, high insulin, oxidized seed oils, toxins, and gut endotoxins
• why de novo lipogenesis and triglycerides point back to excess sugar and liver overload
• statins lowering LDL vs long-term trade-offs discussed, including diabetes risk and mitochondrial effects
• fiber as the missing fuel for the microbiome, short-chain fatty acids, and gut tight junction integrity
• soluble vs insoluble fiber for binding bile acids, lowering recirculation, and improving stool regularity
• realistic fiber targets and food-first ideas like chia, flax, psyllium, berries, avocados, nuts, seeds, and raw vs cooked veggies
• fasting for lowering insulin, improving mitochondria, supporting autophagy, and reducing liver and visceral fat
• common fasting mistakes, including high-stress training while fasted and skipping breakfast daily when you are not fat-adapted
• how to ease into fasting and how to break a fast based on your goal

Your day is getting programmed whether you choose it or not, and the “golden hours” after waking and before sleep are where that programming sticks. I walk through what’s happening in the brain and nervous system during those windows, why we’re more suggestible and neuroplastic, and how a few small choices can shift your baseline from reactive to regulated. If your mornings start with scrolling, stress, and quick dopamine hits, you may be teaching your body to crave agitation, distraction, and tunnel vision all day long.
I share my flexible, repeatable morning routine built around spirit, mind, and body: meditation done out of bed, intention setting that acts like a GPS for your subconscious, and gratitude to create heart-brain coherence. We also talk about discipline versus willpower, how to create natural dopamine through learning, and how movement and breathwork help clear cortisol so you can think bigger, feel steadier, and respond instead of react. These are practical nervous system regulation tools you can adapt to any season of life.
Then we pivot to a topic I’m seeing everywhere: protein. Can you overdo it? Absolutely. I explain why protein can still drive insulin, how excess can spill over into glucose production and fat storage, and which symptoms can signal “too much” for your body, from digestion and dehydration to sleep disruption and hot flashes. We zoom out into pathways, not just macros, comparing mTOR and IGF-1 growth signaling with AMPK, ketosis, and autophagy so you can balance building muscle with cellular repair, metabolic health, and long-term longevity.

Calorie Deficit versus Fasting
Thank you for listening!
This information is just that; information only - not to be taken as medical advice. Please contact your primary care before changing anything to your routine. This information is not mean to diagnose, treat, or cure disease.
We break down why insulin resistance can build for decades while glucose still looks “normal” and why symptoms often show up long before a diagnosis. We also explain how to use real data from glucose trends, key labs, and cycle awareness to improve metabolic flexibility, fat burning, and hormone balance without obsessing over calories.
• the phases of insulin resistance and why hyperinsulinemia hides on standard labs
• common early symptoms including hunger, brain fog, insomnia, migraines, hypertension, PCOS patterns, fatty liver signs and inflammation
• lab markers to request including fasting insulin, triglycerides, glucose, ALT and uric acid
• why overnight blood sugar stability matters for liver function and healing
• ideal blood sugar targets including nighttime ranges and spike guidelines
• why stable glucose can still mean high insulin from foods like dairy, sweeteners and excess protein
• the connection between insulin, meal timing, fasting length and weight loss plateaus
• fasting versus caloric deficit including appetite hormones, fat burn, growth hormone and muscle preservation
• why the luteal phase can worsen cravings, anxiety and sleep and how to adjust food and training

What if the reason your macros “aren’t working” has nothing to do with willpower and everything to do with hormones and timing? We pull back the curtain on why calories and macros alone can’t fix metabolism and show how insulin, cortisol, leptin, and ghrelin actually drive fat loss, energy, sleep, and cravings. This is a practical, science-grounded guide to turning off food noise, restoring trust in hunger, and building true metabolic flexibility.
We start by reframing food as information, not numbers. You’ll learn how frequent eating keeps insulin high, why rigid targets ignore daily shifts in stress and sleep, and how front-loading meals with daylight supports digestion, glucose control, and nighttime repair. We detail the signs you’re stuck as a sugar burner—hangry spells, energy crashes, 2 a.m. wakeups, and weight loss resistance—and outline simple moves to stabilize blood sugar: pair carbs with fiber and fat, stop snacking, walk more, and eat outside to harness natural light’s metabolic benefits.
Then we wade into the dairy paradox. Despite its low glycemic label, dairy is highly insulinogenic—especially low-fat forms—often stalling fat loss and inflaming hormone issues when used as a “high-protein” shortcut. We discuss why overdoing protein can also keep insulin elevated, and how to find your personal protein sweet spot while using whole foods, fiber, and healthy fats to raise natural GLP-1 and deepen satiety. Along the way, we highlight tools and habits that build resilience: CGMs or photo logging for insight, minerals for mitochondrial function, and restorative movement to calm cortisol and unlock fat-burning.

What if PCOS, “hormone imbalance,” and infertility aren’t problems to micromanage but signals that your metabolism needs safety and rhythm? We open the hood on the hormonal hierarchy—how insulin and cortisol set the stage for estrogen, progesterone, and testosterone—and explain why symptom chasing, birth control, and even well-meaning supplement stacks often miss the mark. By restoring nighttime repair, stabilizing glucose, and fixing circadian cues, you unlock the body’s built-in programs for ovulation, progesterone production, and healthy sperm.
We get specific. PCOS rates are surging and so are obesity and insulin resistance, yet most plans start at the bottom of the ladder with sex hormones. We trace the cascade: insulin stimulates thecal cells, androgens rise, ovulation stalls, cortisol steps in, and progesterone sinks. Then we zoom out to the male side—sperm counts have halved in 40 years, TRT is rising in young men, and estrogenic pressure from body fat, seed oils, alcohol, plastics, and pesticides collides with disrupted sleep and light exposure. The result is poorer sperm quality, higher miscarriage risk, and more strain on couples who feel they’re “doing everything right.”
The path forward is practical and hopeful. Anchor your day with sunlight and a consistent wake time. Eat whole foods that match your individual carb tolerance, finish dinner earlier, and aim for flat overnight glucose so melatonin and autophagy can run repairs. Walk after meals, then layer in strength training to expand glucose sinks and support testosterone. Reduce blue light at night, clear seed oils and alcohol, sweat often, and create EMF space in your bedroom. If you test, use tools that capture patterns—like DUTCH—so you can see cortisol dynamics, sex hormone balance, and detox capacity rather than a single snapshot.
Whether you’re navigating PCOS, preparing to conceive, or rebuilding energy, treating hormones as a system led by metabolism changes everything. Subscribe for more root-cause insights, share this with someone who needs a hopeful reframe, and leave a review to help others find the show.

We explore why change sticks when the body, mind, schedule, and space align, and why willpower alone fails. We show how decluttering, time edits, blood sugar balance, and calmer inputs teach the nervous system that new is safe, setting the stage for part two’s troubleshooting.
• reframing problems as goal prompts and trackers
• how stress narrows perception and confirms old beliefs
• decluttering home and car as physical proof of space
• editing schedules to restore bandwidth and boredom
• morning and evening rituals that calm the lens
• blood sugar, sleep, light, and cortisol as levers
• nature, movement, sweating, and drainage for flow
• breaking all-or-nothing thinking and perfection loops
• protecting inputs: media, relationships, and self-talk
• using journaling and gratitude to release rumination
• aligning money, time, and attention with stated goals
• preview of part two: self-sabotage and emotional drivers

Want deeper sleep without hacks or hype? We unpack the real reasons you wake up at night and show how light exposure, dinner timing, and cortisol-insulin patterns quietly decide whether your body repairs or unravels. I walk through the nightly “window” when cortisol dips, why bright rooms and screens suppress melatonin, and how late meals trigger blood sugar crashes that jolt you awake. You’ll learn simple, high-impact steps: get a morning light signal, dim evening brightness below 10 lux, eat earlier with balanced protein and carbs, and keep your bedroom cold, dark, and quiet.
From there, we zoom out to what great sleep actually does. Your brain’s glymphatic system flushes waste, mitochondria refill ATP, growth hormone rises to rebuild tissue, and the immune system coordinates smarter defenses. Slow wave sleep consolidates memory; REM helps you process emotions and creativity. When sleep slips, insulin resistance and inflammation climb the next day. I share practical questions to audit your routine—light, screens, caffeine, alcohol, dinner composition, temperature—and how to spot hot flashes, reflux, or frequent urination as metabolic clues rather than random symptoms.
We then tackle training that supports, not sabotages, recovery. Most long, high-rep sessions and chronic cardio elevate cortisol without provoking adaptation. The better path is training with intention: progressive overload in the 5 to 6 rep range, shorter focused lifts, and brief sprint intervals with full recovery. Pair that with steady walking, mobility work, and cycle-aware planning to respect hormonal shifts. Watch your biofeedback: stubborn soreness beyond 48 hours, poor sleep, frequent illness, puffiness, mood swings, or menstrual changes all point to under-recovery. When you let sleep lead, the gains finally stick—stronger muscles, steadier metabolism, clearer mind.
If this helped, follow the show, share it with someone who needs better nights, and leave a review so more people can find it. What’s the first small change you’ll make tonight?

The clock changed, the light faded, and suddenly sleep feels off, cravings spike, and the calendar is full of sweets and late nights. We break the winter spiral by getting back to first principles: your body runs on time signals from light and food, and those signals need clarity when the days grow short.
We start with circadian anchors you can use tomorrow morning: bright outdoor light to cap cortisol, simple ways to block blue during screen time, and why amber lenses belong after sunset. If seasonal affective symptoms creep in, we lay out a sane toolkit—morning lux sessions, red light within daylight hours, and the sleep hygiene that lets melatonin do its deep repair work. Then we pivot to meal timing and macronutrients, showing how earlier breakfasts and dinners unlock nighttime healing, and why winter physiology thrives on protein, healthy fats, and storage crops like root vegetables rather than tropical fruit and sugar.
From there, we reframe “cold and flu season” as an inflammation problem amplified by indoor stressors—harsh LEDs, nonstop Wi‑Fi, and sedentary routines. Practical fixes include movement snacks after meals for glucose control, opening a window to balance spectrum, using saunas or natural infrared, and putting the router on a timer at night. We also share a gentle reset you can trust: a short bone broth fast to create metabolic space for healing after holiday overindulgence. Finally, we dig into footwear and pain: how switching slowly to zero-drop, wide-toe-box barefoot shoes improved gait, reduced hip and knee pain, and even how grounding-capable soles can add an anti-inflammatory edge when you can’t be barefoot outdoors.
If you’ve felt at the mercy of shorter days, this conversation gives you calm, science-backed levers you can actually pull. Align your light, shift your meals, move a little more often, and let darkness become a nightly advantage. If this resonated, follow the show, share it with a friend who dreads winter, and leave a quick review—what habit will you shift first?

We map the hidden roadblocks that stall healing and show how doing less—by creating space, clarifying goals, and resetting the nervous system—unlocks real change. From dropping diagnosis identity to turning data into wisdom, we focus on metabolic health, circadian rhythm, and practical boundaries.
• defining a clear goal and evolving routines to match it
• avoiding identity with diagnosis and labels
• reducing information overload and rebuilding intuition
• using data short term while training biofeedback
• choosing guidance to cut self-healing trial and error
• seeing symptoms as systemic inflammation signals
• prioritizing metabolic health and circadian rhythm
• treating food as instruction, not just macros
• moving often beyond a single gym hour
• creating parasympathetic time with fasting, meditation, yoga
• making empowered choices instead of fear-led decisions

What if I told you this generation of children is the first not expected to outlive their parents? Despite unprecedented medical advances, chronic disease rates in children have skyrocketed by 400%. As a Naturopath and mother, this reality keeps me up at night.
The perfect storm has been brewing: from compromised birth experiences to excessive sugar consumption, from constant screen time to environmental toxins. Our children's bodies are sending distress signals through anxiety, behavioral issues, frequent infections, and metabolic dysfunction. Yet we've normalized these conditions as "just part of childhood."
The digital landscape compounds these challenges. Children spend 5-7 hours daily on screens, receiving artificial dopamine hits that make normal pleasures seem insufficient. Blue light disrupts their sleep patterns and melatonin production, essential for cellular repair and immune function. No wonder 76% of children now have at least one chronic condition.
But there's profound hope. Our children are remarkably resilient when given what their bodies truly need: real food, consistent movement, outdoor time, appropriate boundaries, and proper sleep. By making intentional choices and modeling healthy behaviors, we can change their trajectory.
This isn't about perfection—it's about progress. Start with one home-cooked meal, a family walk, or a new vegetable. Frame these choices as gifts rather than restrictions. When children understand how their bodies respond to different inputs, they naturally gravitate toward what makes them feel good.
True generational wealth isn't found in bank accounts but in the vibrant health we cultivate in our children. What small change will you make today to support your child's metabolic health? Your choices now shape their future.

Ever feel like you're going through the motions with your health routines, but seeing diminishing returns? This episode dives deep into two game-changing concepts that might revolutionize your healing journey.
First, Dr. Stacy tackles the evolution of routines—how to recognize when habits that once served you have become burdens instead of blessings. She reveals the subtle signs that your daily rituals have lost their meaning and explains why being consistent in showing up for yourself while remaining fluid in what that looks like can be transformative. Rather than rigidly following someone else's protocol or morning routine, learn to attune to what your body needs in different seasons of life and how to create meaningful consistency without the all-or-nothing mentality that keeps so many of us stuck.
The second half of the episode unveils a powerful paradigm shift in understanding gut health that's rarely discussed in wellness circles: the critical connection between metabolic dysfunction and gut issues. Dr. Stacey explains how insulin resistance, blood sugar instability, and mitochondrial dysfunction can directly drive gut inflammation, disrupt barrier integrity, and impair digestive function—often making gut protocols ineffective until the metabolic piece is addressed.
You'll discover why systemic inflammation from metabolic dysfunction is enough to cause leaky gut on its own, how high insulin affects bile flow and nutrient absorption, and why addressing metabolic flexibility might be the missing link in your healing journey. If you've tried multiple gut protocols without lasting success, this episode offers a fresh perspective that could finally connect the dots.
Ready to stop chasing symptoms and start addressing root causes? This episode provides the framework to evolve both your daily practices and your understanding of how metabolism and gut health work together. Your persistent health issues might not be about finding that one perfect protocol you haven't tried yet—but about creating the right metabolic environment where healing can actually happen!

Your body isn't failing you—it's responding logically to the conditions you've created. When hormones plummet, whether sex hormones or thyroid, it's a sign your body is prioritizing survival over optimization.
The hierarchy of hormones explains why so many of us struggle with imbalances despite our best efforts. Survival hormones like cortisol always take precedence, and when they're chronically elevated, everything else suffers. I've witnessed countless clients (and experienced myself) the frustration of trying to boost specific hormones while ignoring the environmental factors keeping stress hormones high.
What's truly fascinating is how our modern lifestyle creates the perfect storm for hormone disruption. The artificial light environment confuses our circadian rhythm, signaling midday to our brain even at midnight. Erratic meal timing, blood sugar instability, and constant digital consumption keep cortisol and insulin elevated, blocking hormone production and conversion pathways. For women, attempting to live the same way every day despite operating on a 28-day hormonal cycle creates profound confusion in the body.
The good news? We have tremendous power to change our internal environment. Strategic shifts in meal timing (prioritizing breakfast and lunch), proper light exposure that respects circadian biology, and blood sugar stability create safety signals that allow hormones to rebuild naturally. You'll be amazed at how quickly the body responds when given the right conditions.
If you're struggling with hormone issues, resist the temptation to immediately supplement or replace them. Instead, focus first on creating an environment where your body feels safe enough to allocate resources toward optimization rather than survival. Your hormones aren't randomly failing—they're responding appropriately to the conditions you're creating.
Ready to take control of your metabolism and hormone health? Join my upcoming Mastering Your Metabolism class this fall, where I'll teach you exactly how to identify your individual patterns and create the right environment for hormone healing.

Dr. Stacy explores the critical differences between food cravings and insatiable hunger, revealing how our biochemistry—not willpower—drives these powerful urges and impacts sustainable weight management.
• Cravings are the body's communication system telling us something is out of balance—whether blood sugar, gut health, or mineral deficiencies
• Sweet cravings typically indicate blood sugar dysregulation, metabolic inflexibility, or specific nutrient deficiencies like B vitamins, magnesium and chromium
• Salt cravings signal adrenal dysfunction, electrolyte imbalances, and cellular dehydration that plain water alone cannot fix
• Candida and fungal overgrowth hijack our glucose, directly inhibit mitochondria, and promote further sweet cravings
• Insatiable hunger often stems from leptin resistance—when high insulin blocks the "I'm full" signal from reaching the brain
• Sustainable weight loss requires becoming metabolically flexible—the ability to switch between burning sugar and fat for energy
• Building muscle mass is crucial for maintaining weight loss, as it improves glucose uptake, increases mitochondrial density, and raises metabolic rate
• The mindset for maintaining weight differs from losing it—requiring permanently raised standards and identifying with your future self
• We get the health we think we deserve—acting from self-love rather than self-hatred creates sustainable change
• Proper circadian rhythm alignment through consistent meal timing and light exposure helps regulate cortisol, blood sugar, and appetite

Fat distribution matters more than weight alone for metabolic health, with invisible fat deposits in the liver, visceral area, and muscles driving inflammation before subcutaneous fat accumulates. These hidden fat stores can cause metabolic dysfunction even in people who appear thin, with liver fat becoming problematic at just 0.5 pounds while subcutaneous fat allows up to 22 pounds before similar risks develop.
• Different fat storage locations have varying impacts on metabolic health
• Subcutaneous fat is the least inflammatory and serves as energy storage, insulation, and hormonal signaling
• Intramuscular fat directly impairs insulin sensitivity and muscle function
• Visceral/abdominal fat secretes inflammatory cytokines and correlates with stress hormones
• Liver fat most dramatically impairs metabolic function even in tiny amounts
• About 40% of people with metabolic dysfunction have no visible weight issues
• Diet composition, stress levels, movement patterns, and sleep all influence fat storage locations
• Testing options include DEXA scans, Hume Health Body Pod, liver enzymes, waist-to-hip ratio
• Building muscle, reducing refined carbs and alcohol, and managing stress reduce metabolically active fat
• Frequent urination often connects to blood sugar issues, mineral imbalances, and dehydration

In today's episode I unpack ALL things STRESS (what it does to our body long term and how it impacts everything from our behavior, to our thoughts and perceptions, and how to find what OUR bodies in particular are tagging as a threat (Hint, it could just be TOO MUCH of even a good thing!)
With that, it is imperative to talk about the amount of (over) information we are constantly consuming - is it helping or harming us? Could it also be contributing to the chronic stress factor?
How I navigate all of the noise, how I bridge the mind and body into a common goal with behavior, and SO much more - I hope you all LOVE it!

In today's episode, I discuss how added sugar and refined/processed foods (yes, even organic, dairy-free, and gluten-free processed foods are STILL processed and refined), still unrecognizable to the mitochondria, still void of nutrients that our gut microbime needs (like fiber!), and also causing MORE inflammation and mitochondria dysfucntion which contirbutes to all METABOLIC diseases including:
Stoke
CVD/Heart Disease/Atherosclerosis
Kidney Disease
Liver Disease and Failure, NAFLD, Cirrhosis
Diabetes
Dementia
Excess Growth/Cancer
Hyperlipedimia/Obesity
What they all have in common is that they are METABOLIC in nature, meaning you have to begin to look at what is happening in the LIVER and in the CELLS in order to prevent them.
There is NO way we can move forward along our healing journey if we are poisoning our cells with sugar, and in the episode, I delve into the HOW and the WHY sugar does things like wreck our metabolism and mitochondria, how it causes the liver to become fat, which sets the scene for chroinc inflammation, insulin resistance, a lack of ATP (energy), and with that, mitochondira dysfunction.
I also talk about how our children are targeted in this mess, how we need to understand the limits in which their bodies can metbaolize (as far as sugar goes), how metablic issues manifest in children, and then of course - how we start supporting these thgins in our own homes (starting with what we bring into the house and what we accept as our normal when it comes to fueling our bodies.)

In today's episode, I chat about how to bring in protein, strength training, and building muscle in a supportive and intentional way (And WHY we need to always be making this our eventual goal along any healing journey).
I talk about the nuance of protein consumption, why it is not favorable to overdo it when living a sedentary lifestyle, but how to strategically increase it as the body is ready, so that we can get to a more foundational place for sustainable health.
I also talk about how sedentary living impacts our ability to recover from workouts and how we must ease into movement gently and supportively to increase the "flow" in all systems of the body, the metabolic impact, and so much more!
There is so much noise on these topics, but I wanted to show you what and how I support these things clinically, how important they are to incorporate eventually, and how to do so in an intentional and supportive way!

In this episode, I delve into all things ketosis, benefits of getting into it, differences among sexes, the healing benefits of achieving not only ketosis, but metabolic flexibility, and how I use it intermittently for its healing powers, but choose not to stay in it long term!
Keto Mojo (Ketone Meter) 15% off meter kits
I also chat about how we not only need a FULL spectrum of light for optimized signaling and health, but also brightness to support things like mood, metabolism, and hormonal function!

In today's episode, I talk about how the body works to heal itself (and how it compensates to do so), what systems the body enlists to try and maintain this "balance," and how symptoms start to pop up when these systems become overwhelmed.
Balance is always key, and my hope in this episode it to shed light on something in your own day-to-day that is lacking balance in some way (especially if you are experiencing chronic symptoms in any way!)

In today's episode, we shift the perspective on histamine issues, why we have them, what triggers them, and how we clear them - as we have to take ALL of these into consideration when treating them in a sustainable way!
We also talked about hot and cold therapies, what they are supporting, and when and how to use them appropriately. When you understand the WHY behind something, you are more likely to get better and more sustainable results from it! The only sauna I approve of for home use is Higher Dose based on the ones I have tested so far. (Use code DRSTACY)

Today, we discuss a foundational pillar when it comes to our healing potential and that is connecting to our body's biological or circadian clock.
There is nothing more stressful to the body and its healing potential than not knowing what time of day it is and we uncover all of the things that send the body mixed signals where it loses its "timing" and therefore doesn't know what program to run and when!

In today's episode, we uncover how thyroid problems are never "just" the thyroid- we always need to be thinking of supporting thyroid hormones as a system. This involves the singalling that starts in the brain, the conversion areas (gut and liver), making sure the body isn't diverting too much energy into the HPA pathway, before even thinking about directing our energy into the thyroid hormone itself!

In this episode, I address ALL of the questions I get about mold, including:
Can you get better living in it?
Do you need all of the supplements?
How to detox without symptoms?
HLA/DR and genetics
And so much more!
Also, I share my experience personally of at least 3 exposures and how they are all different, what I see clinically, and what mold sheds a light on when it comes to our foundational health!
I also speak a lot about water (not just the water we drink), but how the water and the mitochondria influence our genetic expression. So to truly support our genetics, we have to support what controls those genes being turned on or off.
Here is the water episode I mentioned.

In today's episode, I reiterate the myth of "adrenal fatigue" and how to start looking at it from a new lens. WHAT is draining your adrenals so much in the first place? What is causing stress hormones to be so high that is contrbuting to that drain? There is ALWAYS something in the day to day that is being overlooked and until we find that "leak" of stress induction, it will be impossible to "balance your minerals" or heal the adrenals.
This conversation couldn't be had without talking about the top causes of stress hormones that I have experienced and see with my clients and so we go through that list- some may suprise you and I hope it helps you reassess what you are exposed to (internally and externally) that could be driving up cortisol whether we realize it or not!
Lastly, I talk about Infertility; what I see in my practice most commonly, and where I would turn to start supporting. Just like with the high cortisol, there is something in your environment that is making your body favor survival over reproduction, so the minute you can take a step back and assess what that could be for you speicfically, that is the first step in taking back your power and creating a new outcome! (This had to be combined with the high cortisol part of the conversation)
NEW CLIENT INQUIRY and testing I mentioned in the episode all start with this intake!

The magic is found in creating an environment which allows healing to be a possibility!
With that being said, here is a direct link to my LIVE program (Supporting WITHOUT supplements) so you can be the first to sign up! (Spots are limited as I always keep my groups small and intimate!)
In addition, I am announcing my recurring membership/mentorship program for practitioners only starting at the end of the month! The link for sign ups can be found here.

In the second part of my "New Year" Episode, I speak my current thoughts on Functional Medicine, where it started versus how it's going and why I have decided to forego my title of Functional Medicine Practitioner (and what I am doing instead!)
With this episode, I am FINALLY launching my first ever FOUNDATIONAL program, emcompassing all of the aspects of health and healing I have learned over the years with my own health, the health of my clients, and all of the feedback I get from my followers and listeners.
My love of functional medicine has taken a shift, but not my love for serving others and guiding them on their healing journeys and I am running the truly foundational "root cause" program (no supplements or testing required) to help SO many more people regain their health as I have done and have facilitated so many in also doing!
With that being said, here is a direct link to my LIVE program (Supporting WITHOUT supplements) so you can be the first to sign up! (Spots are limited as I always keep my groups small and intimate!)
Secondly, I am announcing my recurring membership/mentorship program for practitioners only starting at the end of the month!

In today's episode, I dive into the why behind so many people have to start over on Jan. 1st, why we feel like we need to, what is required to truly elicit change in our lives, and my exact process for implementing change in my own life.
I then move to extremes in dieting (another thing we feel like we NEED to do this time of year) and so unpacking that a bit; how to know if something is truly "extreme", what questions to ask to truly know, and of course how we can support these processes in a mindful and sustainable way!
In part 2 of this episode, I will share my current thoughts on Functional Medicine, how it started versus how it's going, and why I am getting rid of the title "Functional Medicine Practitioner" in my own practice, so STAY tuned, that will be released tomorrow!

It is ALWAYS important to know the HOW and the WHY of what we are supporting so that the mind body connection is made (as well as the HOW we got here!)
That is my goal today, speaking on everything from calories in, calories out, to being Keto or low carb too long, to learn how to trust your body's hunger cues and fluctuations by not feeding it in the same way each and every day!

This was so fun and thank you SO much for all of your questions! I am going to have to do a part 2 of them since I didn't want to rush through them!
Today, I started out discussing Leptin, how to test, how to support, etc.
I also go more into this (along with so many other topics with my groups) get on the waitlist HERE for more information as it is available!
I got asked a question on how to navigate "overinformation" and share my tips on how to cut through the noise and trust your intuition in a world that does everything to keep you from it!
I then discuss the OURA ring and how it can be super supportive of tracking cycles, HRV, sleep, and a few other things!
I go on to speak on Preteen fatigue and some ideas on how to support, my current throughts on HRT and what perimenopause may be "shedding light" on, how to add carbs in for refeeds and how to support blood sugar, how to time those in in a way that is intentional and strategic, what things that affect our cortisol and insulin that are not necessarily food related, and lastly, what kind of bulbs should we be using in our homes.
Such a beautiful variety of questions and I have so many more, so stay tuned for part 2!

On today's episode, I spend some time laying the ground work for the next few episodes by talking all things mitochondria (SO MUCH MORE than just the powerhouse of the cell) as you will learn about today!
We tallk about things to avoid, things to include, and how nature is the absolute best mitochondrial support imaginable, supporting the body as a WHOLE.
We also talk in brief about the water not only that we drink , but the structured water within out bodies. I go into way more depth and detail on this episode here.
We also talk about the importance of eating foods that our mitochondria recognizes (local and seasonal foods), as well as ways to work in infrared, light, sun, and groudning as ways to increase the energy in our body while supporting the mitochondria.
I talk about a few of my favorite resources such as harmonizers, blue light blockers, and water and those resources (and codes) can be found here:
Spring Aqua (my PREFERRED water system!)
RA Optics (code DRSTACYND) blue light blockers (day/night)
Analemma Water Structuring Device

In this episode, I talk about ALL things hormones, how we are often supporting them in a superficial way by not supporting the hierarchy that sex hormones and thyroid are responding to.
I go into all the things that impact hormones including our light environments, blood sugar, supressed melatonin, and things that drive cortisol up to name a few!
I also talk about testing blood sugar and hormones to know exactly what you body needs to support to get to a place of balance.
You can request a DUTCH here to look at hormones including cortisol, sex hormones, their detox pathways, and how they interplay and impact each other.
I also discuss blood sugar testing, and this is my absolute favorite app to collect your individual data. (code DRSTACYND)
I also talk abotu proper light exposure, red light therapy, and blocking artifical light as much as possible for ultimate hormone function.
My FAV blue light blockers are RA OPTICS. (code DRSTACYND)
My FAV red light panel is BONCHARGE. (code DRSTACY)
The only water system I will support is Spring Aqua.

In this episode, I talk about ALL things anxiety and depression, everything from our gut, our lighting, our modern environment, our food, blood sugar, hormones, living in survival, and SO much more.
Looking at mood disorders requires looking at the individaul to see and know what needs the most support, but I am breaking down the most common root causes that I see clinically, as well as have experienced in my own life personally.
I reference a previous episode on light and that can be found HERE ICYMI!
I also speak about RA Optics, my preferred Blue Light Blocking company. This can be found here with special discount code: DRSTACYND
I also speak about red light therapy to support the gut and neurotransmitters and my favorite can be found here with discount code DRSTACY

In today's episode - we go into ALL things water; the water we drink, the water in our food, the water in our cells, and how to stay cellularly hydrated in today's modern environment. (And of course, the things that cause cellular dehydration!)
I talk about my favorite minerals and molecular hydrogen (as well as trace minerals to add to water). Those can be found HERE.
I also talk about using things like infrared to expand our internal (EZ) water, this can be done with heat (sauna) like HIgher Dose: https://higherdose.com/?sscid=31k7_ktkt0&utm_source=shareasale Code: DRSTACY or by cold therapy like DooDip https://doodip.com/ code: DRSTACY
I also talk about my FAVORITE and only water system I will use for myself and my family: Spring Aqua http://springaqua.info/drstacy
We talk about the importance of eating seasonally and locally (it is SO much more than just supporting local farms, even though that is a good enough reason! :) It is truly eating in a way that your mitochondria can actually recognize and utilize to produce energy.
I hope today's episode shed some light on things in your inner and external environment that might suport you on your healing journey.

(This podcast is not medical advice and not meant to replace seeing a medical doctor for any health concerns)
Today, I am chatting about all things leptin, what it is, what it does in the body, what part of the body receives its "signal", and what can block it! Also, what happens when this signal gets inhibited and how to fix it.
We also talk about the pleasure/reward balance from food; how leptin and insulin can be the most amazing regulators in a balanced system for this for appetite control, and how it can be our worst enemy when out of balance promoting a biochemical addiction to quick energy foods, and of course - how to bring balance to the system with these two hormones.
I then go into all things fiber, the two types of fiber we need to incorporate more of, and how it is VITAL that we get our fiber from whole food sources for the most impact. I go into everything from hoeing with hormone balance, blood sugar balance, as well as balance in the microbiome and nutrient diversity when we include plenty if dietary fiber in our daily diets.
For more on these things and SO much more, follow me on IG @dr.stacy.nd.

In this episode, we talk about all things Metabolism!
Metabolic health, what that means, what it requires, and what inhibits its process.
I talk about a few supplements that can support the healing and repair of our cells and cell membranes. Those can be found here.
I also chat about lifestyle and habit changes that will support our metabolic health, along with new perspectives and ideas on how to support metabolic health (that includes much more than just controlling calories!)
Energy metabolism is a delicate balance of our energy systems as well as a balance between being in an anabolic state and switching to a healing state. Not building ALL of the time, and not breaking down ALL of the time- like everything, it is all about balance!
If these are something you need to learn more about, join my Heal Your Metabolism group, starting 6/3!
Regular Registration can be found here, Practitioner Registration Here.

In today's podcast episode, I discuss some tidbits that I needed to hear along my journey, things I have seen inhibit my own clients on their journeys, and patterns of human nature that tend to keep us stuck in a place we don't want to be, but we often do not see a way out.

In this episode, I refer to human psychology and meeting our 6 basic human needs, how this drive human behavior and how we strive to meet these (consciously or subconsciously) with our daily decision making.
The 6 human needs are:
Certainty
Uncertainty/Variety
Love/Connection
Significance
Growth
Contribution
I encourage you to notice which two are going to influence and impact your decisions and beliefs and to also challenge yourself if you are meeting these needs in a positive and sustainable way or in a negative fashion. When we empower ourselves knowing where we stand now, we can use that wisdom as power to choose differently!

-Dr. Stacy
In this episode, we unpack dopamine (not in regard to gut health) but how it swings and weighs down our pain/pleasure balance in the brain. How these mechanisms overcompensate and try and maintain a state of equilibrium - meaning the more "dopamine heavy" our lives are, for one, the more of that stimulus we need to avoid pain or feeling, but also increasing our susceptibility to physical pain.
We talk about adaptation and how fleeting a dopamine hit truly is and how it impacts our sustainable happiness in our lives.
We talk about how we are evolved to avoid pain in our lives and this makes the appeal of unnatural dopamine hits that much more attractive. However, if we learn to face our fear and our pain, use it as our guide and teacher, we can learn what these negative emotions are telling us and trying to encourage us to grow.
Then, we shift gears and chat about HRT in premenopausal women - sharing true client stories, my own journey, and the suitability in relying on HRT to "mute" our hormonal symptoms and learning WHY hormones go low in the first place, that is where we need to turn to "balancing hormones".
Hormones can absolutely be balanced naturally, but it requires CHANGE. It requires doing things differently in the way we synchronize with our hormones, our eating patterns, the way we fuel our bodies, and connect to our natural sleep cycles. All of these and more are how we start supporting hormones and get the body to a place of balance so that our hormones can regulate as they are designed to.

In this episode, I chat about clutter (mental, physical, emotional). I talk about the costs and the impacts that they all have on our health as well as talk about things to look for and actionable steps to start creating boundaries so that you don't get to a place of overwhelment in your own home.
Our homes should be our havens, and is we are constantly consuming, storing, decluttering, we are diverting a lot of time and energy to things that do not give us life or bring us joy!
Clutter not only drains our physical energy, but mental clarity and focus impacting our jobs, roles in life, and decision making day to day.
Let's dive into the whole clutter phenomena and learn how to break free from the hold it has on our time, our attention, our peace, and our clarity!

In this episode, we explore what actually happens when we get into fat burn, what is required, where it goes, and what one's ability to get into this state is determined by.
I also talked about my upcoming Heal Your Metabolism Group starting in March, here is the form to be notified when registration opens.
I speak about using a CGM (code DRSTACY) and the Lumen (code: DRSTACY) to measure these things, along with looking at hormones through a DUTCH if needed.
I also speak about all too often, how insulin/blood sugar issues are masked as "liver" issues and how it is impossible to detoxify the liver if it is full of stored sugar/insulin.
We talk about ways to support the liver through food and lifestyle and then leeway into drainage pathways over all.
I talk about my favorite ways to support systemic drainage, clean water, sauna (code DRSTACY), Therasage (code DRSTACY) and using food and lifestyle as well!
I talk about how to incorporate driang and detox support into your daily habits and lifestyle as well as WHAT they are supporting as WHY (two important pieces that will make you stick with something and KNOW that it is working as you do!)
Thank you so much for being here, for more info on all of these and more, head to my IG @dr.stacy.nd
*The information in the podcast is not to replace medical care. It is also not intended to diagnose or treat disease. Seek out advice from your practitioner before making any changes to your supplements, diet, and lifestyle.
In this episode, we unpack how we have to create a new "program" or "story" when we are healing. We know our current lifestyle and where that trajectory has gotten us, but how do we break that? How do we undo past conditioning, thoughts, feelings, and beliefs?
We talk about a possible addiction to a life we don't even life and I talk more about this on stress hormones and addiction to them in this previous episode.
I also have chatted in the past about neuroplasticity and times in the day where we are most open to change in our subconscious here.
We also talk about how to take a step back, how to notice, and how to start setting boundaries, habits, thoughts, behaviors, and beliefs that are in alignment with our future and not our past.
We talk about our influences, how to assess if these things are helping or harming us?
Next, we talk about looking at insomnia on a "lifestyle medicine" perspective.
It is SO much more than just taking a supplement.
It involves assessing the lifestyle, connecting with the sun and the body's natural circadian rhythm, things that block melatonin, so many ways that we can assess and address the lifestyle so that we can find balance, get to a restful state of sleep on a regular basis.
I also talk about testing that can come in handy, specifically a DUTCH and OAT to look at what may be happening with the hormones and the gut. Those can be requested here.
I also talk about red light therapy for some and PEMF mats. This is my favorite brand for these: https://www.therasage.com/?rfsn=6701944.26322f&utm_source=refersion&utm_medium=affiliate&utm_campaign=6701944.26322f
CODE: DRSTACY
For more on these things and SO MUCH MORE, follow me on IG @dr.stacy.nd
In the episode, I speak more on the topic of thyroid health, how it is a symptom of a larger imbalance in the body, and how the hierarchy of hormones needs to be considered when it comes to "healing" the thyroid.
We also talk about how important gut and liver play a role as most of our thyroid is actually converted in these two areas! We also chat about the things that blow thyroid receptors including heavy metals, halogens, and even insulin.
We can test minerals, metals, and toxins through functional labs and those can be requested here.
I also talk about the importance of knowing what blood sugar, insulin and cortisol are doing in regard to thyroid, and I always encourage testing your individual response to know for sure with a CGM, like Nutrisense! CODE: DRSTACYND25
Next, I talk about coffee, while there can be many therapeutic benefits from any polyphenol contains foods, we all have different responses to caffeine and coffee, so I speak on some of the signs to look for is it is not working for you, testing your own blood sugar response, of course, and emphasizing QUALITY as well if it is something you continue in your day to day!
Lastly, I talk about the power of intention setting when it comes to the new year and really anytime! When it is a heart led or intuition led decision or idea, it is going to stick that much more, we are OUT with the resolutions that are based off of fear, guilt, and shame. We work better in a place of love and empathy for where we are while working on the higher version of ourselves we are working towards!
Thank you so much for the support, for more on all of these, head to my IG @dr.stacy.nd and stay tuned for more topics and questions I take from my social!
With Gratitude,

In this episode, I talk about fat loss, the mechism (or WHY we have fat), what is is protecting us from and why diets DON'T work.
I also talk about factors that inhibit your body's metabolic processes, what hormones ACTUALLY need to be considered when trying to heal your metabolism and learn how to burn fat in a sustainable way.
I talk about my years as a trainer, how dieting culture did the opposite of what it was supposed to do for me, and how to supportively create sustainable fat loss.
I also talk about how thyroid and hormones are blamed, but uncovering how these are not causes, but SYMPTOMS.
I also talk about lifestyle factors that keep up with metabolic optimization like our lifestyles, our environments, and our chronic stress.
I talk about insulin (the fat storage hormone), how and why it's a problem in today's society, and how to learn how to start supporting it. I also talk about symptoms that can hint to you to start looking in on your response to certain foods and situations.
Nutrisense is my GO-TO for this!
Your $25 off the first-month discount can be applied at checkout with code DRSTACYND25
I talk about toxins, endocrine disruptors, and obesogens and how to test for them, a toxin lab can be requested here!
I also talk about willpower and how it is impossible to beat it when you have pathogens causing cravings, erratic blood sugar, are chronically underfed, overstressed, or eat foods that contribute to inflammation.
Lastly, I talk about my GROUP PROGRAM I am laughing at the beginning of the year! This is dedicated to fat loss, weight loss resistance, metabolic healing and everything in between!
I am so excited to work with a small group to get their new year started with INTENTION and DIRECTION! You can't hit a target that you haven't set and we are going to dive deep into all of these topics and more so that you can get to a place of metabolic health and KEEP it!
You can register for early bird pricing here! (Pricing will increase on 1/1/23)

In this episode, we chat about ALL of the things healing and nature- everything from grounding, breath work, sunshine, structured water, our body's natural rhythms, and everything in between!
I also talk about ways to support and add in these modalities to your own daily rhythm, to learn how to connect with your individual needs, and so much more!
If you are unclear of what needs support, functional testing can be requested here!
(DUTCH tests, gut tests, etc!)
Also, tuning into your individual rhythms (sleep wake, HRV, and ladies- our cycles) is SUPER helpful to do with an OURA ring so that we can collect our individual data and adjust from there!
The PEMF met that I mentioned that includes red light therapy, infrared heat, and simulates the frequency of the earth is from Therasage (Code DRSTACY) you can also find ozone support, red light therapy and so much more!
The Sauna I have been using to provide once again that infrared heat to structure my internal water is from Higher Dose. Code DRSTACY
Lastly, mineralizing water is imperative- here are some of my favorite options for this!
For more info on these and so much more, head to my IG @dr.stacy.nd
Thank you so much for tuning in and I look forward to chatting soon!
In this episode, we discuss actual awareness when it comes to breast cancer and estrogen dominant cancers, the causes, the systems affected, how we can support and minimize our chances and risks by addressing the LIFESTYLE, toxin load, liver detoxification, microbiome, and so much more!
We talk about things that affect estrogen like insulin, endocrine disruptors, and even our light exposure- so many things!
We also discuss ALL of the phases of liver detoxification, what co factors are needed, what inhibits them, and how they ALL work together to properly neutralize, package, and clear estrogen and other toxins out of the body.
The labs that I mentioned in this episode are the GImap to assess microbiome and beta glucuronidase, the HTMA to look at heavy metals on a tissue level as well as mineral levels, the TOX BURDEN to look at toxin load (mycotoxins, heavy metals, and environmental toxins) and my favorite, the DUTCH to assess not just hormones, but cortisol throughout the day, as well as the phases of liver detoxification. These can be ordered here!

In this episode, following up from last episode, triggers and situations that keep us hyper vigilant, how to notice and bring awareness to them, and of course, how to support removing your triggers and replacing them with more successful options.
I also chat about instant gratification- how it affects our happiness, motivation, and overall nervous system and stress adaptation. I talk about things that affect our neurotransmitters, like pathogens and toxicities.
Testing for those can be requested here.
Also, some times, limbic training can come in hand along with the other options I mentioned. These are my favorite programs for this: GUPTA and DNRS.
Next, I chat about how we can learn to promote change in our brains by simply practicing gratitude daily. I talk about everything from health to our relationships and how those will change with a consistent practice.
For more info on testing and ALL things healing, follow me on IG @dr.stacy.nd
Thank you so much for the support and I can't wait to chat here soon!
In this episode, I talk about FOF, how it becomes chronic in the body, deciphering the different stages how this affects our body on a chemical level, how it interferes with the body's regulatory processes and lastly how to support pulling out of this constant state of stress.
I go through what happens physically in the body in a place of sympathetic vs. parasympathetic and things that keep up in the state of constant FOF.
We also discuss the emotions that define each of these stages.
Secondly, I chat about healing tools, are they helping us more than they are harming us with more and more data than we know what to do with?
Are we losing our intuition in the name of having these fun tools?
How to incorporate them into your healing journey without causing more stress and disconnect of the mind and body.
I also chat about my faves, how I use them, and when it is best for you to incorporate them into your own journey.

In this episode, I talk about ways to support digestion. This includes many lifestyle shifts as well as supporting with Bitters or Digestive Enzymes.
I also talk about doing some testing if you suspect overgrowths or imbalances in the gut which can also contribute to chronic digestive symptoms.
I also talk about reasons why you get "stuck" along your journey.
Some of these reasons include still having a chronic exposure, food and water are going to be the most invasive because they are consistent exposures throughout the day.
I always run a toxin load test on my clients so we can locate the toxicities that need to be addressed and what may be causing that chronic stress and inflammatory response.
I also discuss water supply, for filtration, I use a Berkey, for structuring, the MAYU vortex, and trace minerals or E-lytes for mineralization.
I talk about limbic retraining I use GUPTA or DNRS to support my clients with this.
I also chat about Heavy Metals which can be tested for through hair. This is the test I use to look at heavy metals as well as main electrolytes.
I talk about consistency, tracking your progress along your journey, and lots of questions to ask yourself as you go to make sure that you are giving your best and most honest effort on your journey and hopefully putting some things into perspective for you so you con trouble shoot along your own healing journey!
