We will never tell you what you want to hear at the expense of what you need to know.
Yoni University is a podcast built on three things: body literacy (you should understand your own body completely), radical honesty (evidence-based, practitioner-grounded, unwilling to tell women half-truths), and full-spectrum care (the whole arc: fertility, birth, postpartum, and everything in between)!
Ashley and Mackenzie are two practitioners and besties who trust each other enough to disagree on air. They name the thing clearly, they give you something you can actually do this week, and they connect symptoms to root causes, not just management. And they speak to women as intelligent adults who can handle the truth.
No hedging, no jargon without definition, no normalizing symptoms that deserve investigation! Just education that makes hard things feel possible. Class is in session!
Office Hours is open. You sent the questions, and we’re diving head first into them!
This is our first Yoni Office Hours, and you did not come to play. We got into everything from the uncomfortable to the deeply personal, with real answers from two practitioners who see this IRL!
Postpartum + motherhood
→ What should you actually be eating while breastfeeding?
→ When do you wean? Mackenzie gets personal about when she decided to stop breastfeeding and planning to have her second child
→ 18 months postpartum and raging before your period. What’s going on, and what helps?
Fertility + hormones
→ 31, single, and want kids: at what age do you consider freezing your eggs, if at all?
→ Perimenopause: what’s happening in your body
Gut + body
→ What percentage of our clients do we suspect have parasites?
→ Can you eat differently for stress?
→ Bad breath: what your body is trying to tell you ( check out this oil pulling brand we found from Dr. Mark Burhenne @askthedentist | https://oraginhealth.com/ )
→ Migraine support: what nutrition can do
Real talk
→ Everyone’s talking about “providing.” What does provision from a man actually mean, in its full spectrum?

Here's How My Birth Actually Went....
Every birth story you've heard has been polished. This one isn't.
Today's lecture is personal. MacK is telling her birth story, with Ash in the room asking the questions you'd want to ask: what she planned for, what she got instead, and why she believes we end up with the births we need, even the hard ones. Believing that doesn't make the hard parts easy, and neither of us is going to pretend it does.
We're not here to hand you a highlight reel. We're here to tell you what preparation actually does when labor starts, and what it can't do. Spoiler: a birth plan is not a script, and anyone selling you one is selling you a story.
In this episode:
→ How MacK's birth unfolded, from the first sign of labor to meeting her baby
→ Which preferences held, which didn't, and why that is not a failure
→ The one thing Mac wishes every pregnant woman knew before walking into that room
→ What to start this week, in any trimester, so you can speak up when it counts
"I've walked clients through this for years. Living it humbled me in the best way." — MacK
🎓 Homework: The Birth Preference Blueprint
MacK built the Birth Preference Blueprint and used it to prepare for her own birth. She made it because she was tired of watching women walk into labor with a Pinterest list and a prayer. So you know what matters to you before the moment you can't think straight.

RED-S, the Female Athlete Triad, and Why Your Body Isn't Built to Run on Empty
Our first guest. Dr. Traci Carson McEntire. And honestly, we couldn't have asked for a better way to open the doors!
Traci's doctoral research went deep into RED-S and the Female Athlete Triad, the pattern we see constantly in our practices. Women who are chronically under-fueled and overtrained, normalizing symptoms that should be screaming for help, and only talking about it after their big wins. Never during, when it could actually save someone else.
In this episode, Tracy walks us through what's actually happening in your body when you're running on empty. She explains why a healthy cycle is natural injury prevention (and why that gets completely missed), shares her own story as a collegiate rower, and she calls out the noise from self-proclaimed experts while backing researchers like Dr. Stacy Sims who actually know what they're talking about.
Whether you're a current or former athlete, or you just grew up believing you should push through anything, this one lands.
What you'll learn:
→ How to recognize RED-S before it becomes a crisis
→ Why birth control can hide what's really happening
→ The difference between athletic drive and physiological damage
→ Where accountability actually sits (and it's not on the athlete)
→ What to tell a young woman in your life who's being run into the ground

Welcome to Yoni University!
This is our syllabus for taking back your body literacy. MacKenzie and Ashley introduce themselves, not just credentials, but why. Why this podcast, why now?!
And what's broken in the mainstream wellness conversation that made us decide to build this.
We talk about what "yoni" actually means to each of us, sharing how we met, and the contract we're making with you: real education, actionable tools, and radical honesty about what actually works.
By the end of this episode, you'll know who we are, what we stand for, and what to expect when you show up to class!
Your first action: Write down your #1 unanswered health question. We want to hear it.
