Hormonally Speaking

About Hormonally Speaking

As women, we’ve been taught SO LITTLE about our hormones, and yet they are the captain controlling the ship that is our bodies! Not only do our hormones impact us physically, but they are the deciding factor in our mental health. And there are far too many of us currently suffering with debilitating stress, anxiety, and depression. I’ve been lucky to meet some of the leading, cutting-edge hormonal experts in the game, and this podcast gathers them together to give you an incredible overview of your hormones, from head to soul.

My guest is my good friend and incredible Functional Medicine Practitioner Vashti Kanahele, who just released her book, "Passports and Parasites." In it, she details living in a variety of places around the world, from war-torn regions to warm, sandy beaches like Baghdad, Beirut, Phnom Penh, Lagos, and Curacao. While that all sounds very glamorous, she actually developed some major health issues along the way, eventually learning she had Lyme and Hashimoto's. We talk about her journey, and how she dealt with these very intense illnesses while being far away from her home base of the US. We cover: -Figuring out why she wasn't feeling well, and putting the pieces together to begin the healing process -What it took to come out on the other side of chronic illness -Why building community is so important, no matter where in the world you are living -Her work now to support other women with similar issues What's even more exciting is that she details the whole breathtaking, powerful, and inspiring journey in her new book, which you can grab here: https://amzn.to/3seEC1n (https://www.youtube.com/redirect?event=video_description&redir_token=QUFFLUhqbC1idGdhRHFodlY3ZF9IMGtNNHNON1g0S3g0d3xBQ3Jtc0ttZS13MC0yUXAwNEFjVzVaVms3YVVGNHZZd01ET2ZRYnA0Q2xndlpVTVltLVoxTHdVYjQ5Um1rcDMtRE9TWXNDbXhvVWZNSUZSdG9yUy1JWmRUbFJGczJYZzU5RXdTWUtzc09NQU1YOVAzUTE2dTkwOA&q=https%3A%2F%2Famzn.to%2F3seEC1n&v=cxajbE77i7U).

   Happy Halloween and almost Day of the Dead! For this week's episode, I had a chance to chat with my old friend, Ryan Dungan Hurd, who is a master dream researcher. I thought it was the perfect time of year to chat about the sometimes scary, sometimes illuminating, but always powerful subject of sleep paralysis, where people can feel awake and held down, even though they are still in a sleep state. Ryan and I dive into all the fascinating ways that sleep paralysis and paying attention to/recording your dreams can impact your health, including: -What sleep paralysis is, and the myriad of ways it can show up -Facing your fears and processing your trauma -Spiritual experiences that can occur via paralysis -How the way you take care of your body during the day - and in the evening before bed - can impact not only sleep paralysis, but also your hormones -Sleep supports -Ways to use your dreams to help guide your health decisions in waking life And lots more! If you love experiencing the veil between the two worlds being its thinnest at this time of year, this is the perfect episode for you! Ryan Dungan Hurd (he/him) is an educator, author and dream researcher. He is interested in consciousness studies at the intersections of ecology, spirituality and material culture. His latest work is Lucid Talisman: Forgotten Lore (https://lucidtalisman.com/products/lucid-talisman-forgotten-lore).
