Most women have spent years being told what to cut, what to avoid, and what to eliminate, yet despite following all the rules, they still feel confused, guilty, and exhausted by food. The problem is not willpower and it is not discipline. The problem is that the advice was never designed to be sustainable or to fit the real lives, cultures, and kitchens of actual women.
In this episode of The Whole and Complete Woman Podcast, Dr. Alicia Newsome sits down with Dr. Sabrina Falquier, a physician triple board certified in internal medicine, culinary medicine, and lifestyle medicine, and founder of Sensations Salud. Born and raised in Mexico City to Swiss and American parents, Dr. Falquier brings a deeply multicultural perspective to the intersection of food, culture, medicine, and health. After more than 15 years in primary care, she now works with universities, medical schools, teaching kitchens, and healthcare professionals around the world to help translate nutrition science into something people can actually use in their everyday lives.
This conversation goes deep on why 80% of chronic diseases are linked to food and lifestyle yet doctors receive almost no nutrition training in medical school, how to build a plate that is evidence based and genuinely enjoyable without turning every meal into a math equation, why cultural foods have been unfairly vilified and what that does to a person's identity and trust in the healthcare system, the 80/20 rule for eating that actually gives you permission to live, how batch cooking can transform your relationship with meal prep without eating the same sad leftovers all week, and why connection at the table, without screens, is one of the most underrated health interventions available to us right now. If you have ever felt guilty about enjoying food or overwhelmed by conflicting nutrition advice, this episode will change how you think about eating for good.

Most women have been told their thyroid labs are normal and left the appointment feeling confused, because normal is not the same thing as optimal, and that gap is where so many women get stuck for years without answers.
In this special episode of The Whole and Complete Woman Podcast, originally recorded live at the All Things Women Summit, Dr. Alicia Newsome brings you a teaching session from Amanda Montalvo, a women's health dietitian and host of the Hormone Healing RD Podcast. Amanda's own thyroid health became her biggest concern after coming off hormonal birth control, and after years of working through her own hypothyroidism and PCOS, she has spent the last decade helping thousands of women understand what is actually driving their thyroid dysfunction. This session breaks down exactly how to read your thyroid labs, what your minerals are telling you, and how to find the real root cause behind your symptoms.
This conversation goes deep on how the thyroid sets the metabolic pace for nearly every system in the body, why chronic stress quietly blunts thyroid hormone production even when bloodwork looks fine, the optimal ranges for a full thyroid panel and why those differ from what most doctors are trained to look for, how hair mineral testing reveals whether your body can actually use the thyroid hormone it is making, and the five different root causes of thyroid dysfunction along with real case studies that show how each one shows up in real women's lives. If you have ever felt exhausted, dismissed, or confused by normal labs that do not match how you actually feel, this episode is for you.
Chapters:00:00 - Welcome back and why this episode comes from the summit stage02:09 - Meet Amanda Montalvo and the health crisis that started her thyroid journey08:05 - What your thyroid actually does and why it touches every system in your body12:04 - The real relationship between stress and your thyroid15:15 - Four simple daily habits that support your thyroid and lower stress22:41 - Thyroid blood labs and what optimal actually looks like27:29 - What hair mineral testing reveals that blood work misses36:04 - The five root causes of thyroid dysfunction49:20 - Real case studies of women who got their thyroid back on track1:09:35 - Closing thoughts and your invitation to the next summit

If you have ever finished a full week of work, checked off every task on your list, and still felt like you made zero progress, this episode is going to explain exactly why that happens and what to do about it.
In this episode of The Whole and Complete Woman Podcast, Dr. Alicia Newsome sits down with Philippa Channer, marketing strategist, speaker, author, and founder of Channer Consulting. Philippa helps women entrepreneurs move from scattered marketing to CEO level clarity. She believes that marketing does not begin with tactics. It begins with clarity. And when women learn to lead from that place, they stop spinning their wheels and start building businesses that truly reflect their vision and purpose.
This conversation covers why so many entrepreneurs stay stuck in operator mode, the difference between employee thinking and CEO thinking, why your marketing problem probably is not a marketing problem at all, how to decide what to delegate and what only you can do, why visibility without strategy is working against you, and how faith and clarity work together to quiet imposter syndrome and build confidence that lasts.

Your Reputation Depends on It. 22:15 - How Clarity Quiets Imposter Syndrome and Builds CEO Confidence 25:30 - Moving From Busy to Strategic Without Burning Out 32:02 - How to Stay Focused When Everyone Has a New Strategy to Sell You 37:54 - Stop Reinventing Your Content.

Most women navigating perimenopause and hormonal imbalance are told the same thing. Your labs look normal. This is just part of aging. There is not much we can do. And they leave that appointment feeling more dismissed than when they walked in.
In this episode of The Whole and Complete Woman Podcast, Dr. Alicia Newsome sits down with Dr. Erin Ellis, a naturopathic medical doctor specializing in women's hormone health and creator of the Rooted and Realigned method. Dr. Ellis works with women navigating fatigue, weight changes, mood shifts, irregular cycles, and the often confusing transitions of perimenopause and menopause. She is especially known for helping women who feel like they have tried everything but still do not feel like themselves.
This conversation covers what your hormones are actually trying to tell you, why mood changes, sleep disruption, and weight shifts are not personality flaws but biological signals, how conventional medicine is failing women in midlife, why normal labs do not mean optimal function, how to approach nervous system regulation as a tool not a root cause solution, and the foundational daily habits that support hormone health at every stage of life.

In this essential episode on personalized medicine and comprehensive hormone testing, Dr. Alicia Newsome reveals why the "test, don't guess" philosophy is critical for diagnosing hormonal imbalances and achieving optimal health. She exposes the major limitations of traditional lab work, standard blood tests, and insurance-covered testing, explaining why most women are told their thyroid labs, hormone panels, and routine bloodwork are "normal" despite experiencing debilitating symptoms including chronic fatigue, unexplained weight gain, painful heavy periods, brain fog, anxiety, depression, and severe mood swings.
Dr. Newsome breaks down what comprehensive functional medicine testing actually includes—complete thyroid panels beyond TSH, adrenal function testing, sex hormone metabolism, nutrient deficiency screening, inflammation markers, and gut health assessment—and why insurance companies refuse to cover the advanced diagnostic tests that reveal the true root causes of estrogen dominance, progesterone deficiency, thyroid dysfunction, and adrenal fatigue. She introduces her Hormone Compass program, a personalized functional medicine approach offering one-on-one support, comprehensive hormone testing protocols, DUTCH hormone testing, functional blood chemistry analysis, and individualized treatment strategies that address each woman's unique hormonal imbalances through nutrition, supplementation, and lifestyle modifications without relying on birth control pills, antidepressants, or symptom management.
This episode empowers listeners to become their own health advocates, demand better testing from their healthcare providers, and take control of their wellness through proper diagnostic testing, personalized treatment protocols, and root-cause healing. Perfect for women who have been dismissed by doctors, told their symptoms are "all in their head," given "normal" lab results while feeling terrible, or prescribed birth control and antidepressants without addressing underlying hormone imbalances.

In this essential episode on stress and hormone imbalance, Dr. Alicia Newsome reveals the third major root cause of hormonal dysfunction that most doctors overlook—chronic stress and adrenal fatigue. She explains how stress affects hormones beyond just emotional pressure, breaking down the impact of relational stress, environmental toxins, physical demands, and constant overwhelm. Dr. Newsome demonstrates the critical cortisol-hormone connection, explaining how chronic stress triggers adrenal dysfunction and forces the body to prioritize cortisol production for survival over sex hormone balance. When women remain stuck in fight-or-flight mode (or fight-flight-freeze response), their bodies deprioritize reproductive hormones, leading to estrogen dominance, progesterone deficiency, irregular periods, weight gain, and chronic fatigue.
Dr. Newsome breaks down the sympathetic nervous system vs. parasympathetic nervous system, revealing why modern women stay trapped in survival mode and how this affects thyroid function, insulin sensitivity, and sex hormone production. She explains why traditional treatments like birth control pills fail to address adrenal fatigue and cortisol imbalance at the root level. The episode introduces Dr. Newsome's Hormone Compass program, a personalized functional medicine approach using comprehensive hormone testing to identify each woman's unique stressors and create sustainable strategies for hormone balance without pharmaceutical drugs or surgery.
Perfect for women experiencing chronic fatigue, adrenal exhaustion, anxiety, insomnia, unexplained weight gain, irregular or painful periods, PMS, mood swings, brain fog, low libido, or complete burnout.

Most hormone imbalance treatment is fundamentally flawed. Birth control pills for PCOS. Antidepressants for hormone-related mood swings. Thyroid medication without testing for root causes. It's time for a different approach to hormone health.
In this episode, Dr. Alicia Newsome talks with functional medicine expert Alicia Newsome about why conventional approaches to hormonal imbalance keep failing—and what root cause medicine reveals about true hormone balance. The problem isn't that you need more medication; it's that the underlying causes of hormone dysfunction are being completely ignored.
Dr. Alicia exposes the missing pieces in standard hormone treatment: nutrient absorption problems, chronic stress effects on cortisol and adrenal function, sleep deprivation's impact on hormone production, and movement's role in endocrine system regulation. She advocates for personalized medicine approaches that test for deficiencies, address gut health, and support the body's natural hormone production.

In this powerful 7-minute episode, Dr. Alicia Newsome reveals the hidden toxin connection that's sabotaging women's hormones—and it's not what most doctors are testing for. She breaks down the two major categories of toxins disrupting hormonal balance: biotoxins (mold, parasites, bacteria, viruses, fungi) and external toxins (chemicals in food, beauty products, plastics, and household items).
This episode delivers the functional medicine perspective on why women can't out-supplement a toxic lifestyle and why addressing root causes—not just symptoms—is essential for lasting hormone balance. Dr. Newsome's approach helps high-achieving women understand what's really happening beneath the surface when conventional solutions aren't working.Perfect for women experiencing unexplained weight gain, chronic fatigue, hormonal acne, PMS, irregular cycles, or difficulty losing weight despite healthy habits.
