The Shift Podcast with Heidi Swapp & Dr. Vohn Watts
Most women spend years trying to "fix" their hormones — and never get better. Not because their hormones are broken, but because nobody ever taught them how their body actually works. In this episode, Heidi and Dr. Vohn sit down with Ellie Anderson, a functional medicine dietitian and founder of Elevated Integrative Wellness in Minnesota. Ellie went from conventional Western medicine dietetics — where she watched people not heal — to becoming one of the most sought-after hormone and fertility practitioners in her region. This conversation covers everything nobody taught you about your cycle, your detox pathways, your nervous system, and why the fat-free era may have quietly destroyed your hormones. 🔍 In this episode: • Why your body isn't broken — it's protecting you • The drainage funnel: what it is and why it controls your hormones • How to sync your lifestyle with your menstrual cycle (and why it matters) • The full moon hack for women who don't have regular cycles • What castor oil packs actually do — and how to use them correctly • Why dietary fat does NOT make you fat (and what actually does) • The truth about low-fat, skim milk, and the sugar they sneak in • What a binder is and why Ellie takes one every single day • The three supplements every woman needs for hormone health • Simple nervous system hacks to lower cortisol and let progesterone thrive • Why your symptoms are check engine lights — not your identity 🌿 If you've been told your labs are "normal" but you still feel terrible, this episode is for you. 📲 Follow Ellie: @ElevatedIntegrativeWellness 📲 Follow The Shift: @TheShiftPodcast 🎧 Listen on Spotify & Apple Podcasts — link in bio. #HormoneHealth #WomensHealth #TheShiftPodcast #FunctionalMedicine #MenstrualCycle #DetoxPathways #CastorOilPacks #HolisticHealth #NervousSystemHealing #EllieAnderson On the show, Dr. Vohn Watts, a chiropractor and founder of Foundational Wellness, shares his insights on how the body functions as a whole system, along with the principles he uses to help people get on the path to better health.
