In this episode, Sarah sits down with Functional Nutrition Counselor and Registered Nurse Katie Kirklin to explore what true root-cause healing looks like beyond the noise of diet culture and quick fixes. Katie shares her personal journey from growing up in a weight-loss focused environment to navigating her own health challenges — including gut issues, anxiety, and hormonal imbalances — and how those experiences led her to functional nutrition. From reversing cervical dysplasia naturally to understanding the deeper drivers behind symptoms, this conversation brings a grounded, practical perspective to healing. Together, they unpack why so many women feel overwhelmed trying to "fix everything," and instead, how focusing on foundations like sleep, digestion, blood sugar, and daily habits can create real, lasting change. This is an empowering episode for the woman who feels like she's tried everything… and is ready to simplify her healing, reconnect with her body, and rebuild from the ground up. What You'll Learn * Why small, consistent changes matter more than doing everything at once * The concept of "patching the holes" and how it applies to healing complex conditions * How diet culture and under-eating can quietly drive long-term health issues * The impact of alcohol, caffeine, and blood sugar balance on hormones and energy * Why sleep, digestion ("pooping"), and blood sugar are non-negotiable foundations * How toxins and everyday exposures (like plastics and coffee pods) can disrupt hormones * Why foundations often create massive shifts — even before functional testing Connect with Katie Kirklin Website: https://katiekirklin.com [https://katiekirklin.com] Email: info@katiekirklin.com Instagram: @katiekirklinnutrition More from Sarah (Nutriroot Health) Email: sarah@nutriroothealth.com.au Website: nutriroothealth.com.au [https://www.nutriroothealth.com.au/] Instagram: @nutriroot_health 📅 Book a FREE Clarity Call: https://calendly.com/nutriroot/claritycall [https://calendly.com/nutriroot/claritycall] Subscribe & Review If this episode helped you feel more grounded (and clearer on where to start), subscribe to My Health My Way and leave a review.

Real Questions Women with Endo Ask Me Every Day

Ever wondered if what you're experiencing with endometriosis is "normal"… or if there's something more going on? In this episode, Sarah is put on the spot as Alana asks the exact questions women are sending through every single day, from changing symptoms over time, to fertility fears, surgery outcomes, weight gain, stress, sleep, and everything in between. This is a real, honest conversation that cuts through the noise and addresses what women are actually confused about when it comes to endometriosis. You'll hear Sarah break down why symptoms can shift over time, why surgery doesn't always resolve deeper issues, and why a whole-body approach is essential if you're wanting long-term change, not just temporary relief. If you've ever felt overwhelmed, dismissed, or unsure what's actually driving your symptoms… this episode will help you start connecting the dots. What You'll Learn: * Can endometriosis symptoms change as you age? * Why surgery doesn't always fix fatigue, bloating, or brain fog * The truth about fertility and endometriosis * How quickly you can expect to see improvements when addressing root causes * The role of stress and cortisol in symptom flares * Why sleep is non-negotiable for healing * Whether supplements are actually necessary (and when they're not) * Is weight gain really caused by endometriosis? * How toxins and environmental exposures impact your hormones and symptoms * Can endometriosis still affect you after menopause? * Why a diagnosis is just the beginning — not the solution Contact Information: Sarah Koenig, FDN & Nutritionist Email: sarah@nutriroothealth.com.au Website: www.nutriroothealth.com.au [https://www.nutriroothealth.com.au/] Instagram: @nutriroot_health Facebook: Sarah Koenig Alana Scalici, Marketing Business Manager Email: alana@thenovelassistant.com Website: www.thenovelassistant.com [http://www.thenovelassistant.com] Instagram: @the.novel.assistant Facebook: The Novel Assistant More from Sarah: Book a FREE Clarity Call: Schedule now [https://calendly.com/nutriroot/claritycall] Download Sarah's free resources and guides: Get it here [https://www.nutriroothealth.com.au/resources] Shop transformative Masterclasses: Learn now [https://www.nutriroothealth.com.au/shop-1] Subscribe & Review: If this episode answered questions you've been holding onto, make sure to subscribe to My Health My Way and leave a review.

From Symptoms to Systems — Healing Adenomyosis Symptoms Holistically

If you've been told heavy periods, acne, fatigue, or pain are "just normal," this episode will change how you see your body. In this episode of My Health My Way, Sarah and Alana sit down with Lisa Tyers, FDN-P, to explore how adenomyosis and endometriosis are rarely isolated conditions, and why true healing requires looking at the whole body, not just the uterus. Lisa shares her personal journey with adenomyosis, years of dismissal, and how functional diagnostic testing helped her finally connect the dots between gut health, minerals, detox pathways, inflammation, and hormones. What You'll Learn: * Why "common" symptoms are not the same as normal * How gut health, liver detox, minerals, and inflammation influence cycles * The generational patterns behind endo & adeno (and why it's not just genetics) * Why hysterectomy isn't a true cure for adenomyosis * How mineral imbalances, dehydration, and constipation quietly drive symptoms * Why healing requires a team approach, not one practitioner or one supplement This episode is a powerful reminder that your body isn't broken, it's communicating. You just need the right lens to listen.

Endometriosis Root Causes: Mold, Parasites, Lyme & Hidden Stress with Jessica Rauscher (FDN-P)

If you've been told endometriosis is something you just "manage" with pills or surgery, and deep down you know there has to be more.... this conversation will land. In this episode, Sarah sits down with FDN Functional Health Practitioner Jessica Rauscher to unpack what functional healing can look like when symptoms don't make sense on paper. Jessica shares her personal journey through chronic fatigue, brain fog, anxiety, and endometriosis, and the root drivers she discovered underneath it all: mold, parasites, Lyme/co-infections, toxic burden, and hidden stress. Together, they explore why many women feel like their hormones are "the problem" (when hormones are often the messengers), why sequence matters (good info in the wrong order can keep you stuck), and how healing can become overcomplicated when you're living in fight-or-flight and "paralysis by analysis." This is an empowering episode for the woman who's tried a million things… and is ready to rebuild from the foundations, with clarity, calm, and a real plan. What You'll Learn * Why "normal labs" don't always mean your body is okay — and what functional testing can uncover * The functional connections between endo, immune dysfunction, mold/mycotoxins, parasites, and toxic load * How xenoestrogens/endocrine disruptors can drive estrogen-dominant symptoms even when hormones look "normal" * Why detox or protocols can backfire when done in the wrong sequence * The role of belief, stress physiology, and Cell Danger Response in whether your body can actually shift * The 2 priorities Jessica recommends most for healing: proper nutrition + taking breaks/rest Connect with Jessica Rauscher * Website: https://jessicarauscher.com/functional_health [https://jessicarauscher.com/functional_health] * Instagram: @healinghappenz_ [https://www.instagram.com/healinghappenz_?utm_source=ig_web_button_share_sheet&igsh=MWU4MXNzeXh1cWFwNw%3D%3D] More from Sarah (Nutriroot Health) * Email: sarah@nutriroothealth.com.au * Website: nutriroothealth.com.au [https://www.nutriroothealth.com.au/] * Instagram: @nutriroot_health [https://www.instagram.com/nutriroot_health/] 📅 Book a FREE Clarity Call: link here [https://calendly.com/nutriroot/claritycall] Subscribe & Review If this episode helped you feel more hopeful (and more clear on what to do next), subscribe to My Health My Way and leave a review.
