Amanda Wahlstedt, Founder of Roots to Leaves: The Hormone Conversation Every Woman Deserves to Have

Amanda Wahlstedt is a registered dietitian, functional health practitioner, and founder of Roots to Leaves — a private practice working exclusively with women on hormonal health, fertility, and whole-body wellness. Her own experience coming off the pill after a decade and being met with no real answers is what sent her on the path to building the practice she wished had existed.In this episode, Annie and Marissa sit down with Amanda for one of the most honest, practical conversations they've had on women's hormonal health. They talk about how the birth control pill impacts your body and why you can't see the full picture until you're off it, the connection between chronic stress and reproductive hormones, and why nervous system support is so much more than a wellness trend. Amanda also shares the question she comes back to with every client — is this action coming from love or from fear — and why the energy behind a health habit matters just as much as the habit itself.They also get into endocrine disruptors, what they are, where they’re hiding in your daily life, and the three buckets to prioritize first without overhauling everything overnight. Plus a conversation on tampons, what wellness actually means to Amanda right now, and the healing ritual she swears by that has nothing to do with supplements or protocols.This conversation is not about doing more or optimizing harder. It is about finally understanding your body — and learning to work with it instead of against it.Where to Find Amanda:InstagramSubstackWebsite Get full access to Shift Into Alignment at shiftintoalignment.substack.com/subscribe
