Elevated | Conversations About Health & Healing

Peptides have become one of the hottest topics in health and wellness—but what if we're asking the wrong questions? In this episode of Elevated Conversations, Ellie explores the growing fascination with peptides and shares a more balanced perspective on where they fit into a root-cause approach to healing. Instead of asking, "What peptide should I take?" perhaps the better question is, "Why does my body need support in the first place?" We'll discuss the role peptides can play in recovery, gut health, hormones, metabolism, inflammation, and longevity, while also addressing the foundational pieces that are often overlooked: sleep, nutrition, stress, nervous system regulation, detoxification, and gut health. Peptides can be incredible tools. But tools work best when they're supporting a strong foundation—not replacing one. Join us as we explore the peptide perspective and why the future of health isn't about chasing the next miracle, but understanding the whole person.

The full moon gets a lot of attention in the wellness world. But what if the bigger conversation isn't the moon itself? What if it's the reality that so many people are dealing with digestive stress, toxic burden, blood sugar dysregulation, inflammation, poor drainage, and foundational health issues that have gone unaddressed for years? In this episode, we discuss: • Parasites and cleansing • Why some people notice symptom changes around the full moon • Detoxification and drainage pathways • Blood sugar and metabolic health • Foundational habits that help your body heal and thrive Because the goal isn't to fear parasites. The goal is to build a body that is resilient, adaptable, and capable of healing. 🌕 Want to go deeper?

In this episode, I sit down with The Legendairy Dietitian — Kennedy — for a powerful conversation on hormones, motherhood, healing, and what happens when you begin questioning the conventional health model many practitioners were trained in. We unpack the reality that so many women are exhausted, inflamed, dismissed, and struggling despite “normal” labs and doing everything they were told was healthy. Kennedy shares her perspective as a dietitian navigating the shift from conventional education into a more holistic and root-cause approach to health. Together, we discuss: • motherhood and the physical/emotional load women carry • hormone dysfunction and why symptoms matter • the gaps within traditional nutrition education • the impact of stress, modern living, and disconnection from our bodies • healing through nourishment, lifestyle, nervous system support, and discernment • what it means to pursue wellness in a more intentional way This conversation is honest, thought-provoking, and deeply validating for women who know something feels “off” but are tired of being told everything is fine.

What are our current supplement + peptide routines? How do we support the liver naturally? Thoughts on Hashimoto’s? Inositol for PCOS? What actually matters postpartum? How do you protect peace within your family? And why does “a boring life” suddenly feel so beautiful? We also went deeper into: • my personal story and how I got into this profession • health anxiety and fears around ticks/Lyme • the bigger conversations people are scared to have • why symptoms are rarely random • and how healing often looks less glamorous than the internet makes it seem This episode felt honest. Not polished. Not perfect. Just real conversation. If you’ve ever felt exhausted by modern wellness culture, this one is for you. 🎧 New episode drops soon. In this Q&A-style episode, we dive into the questions we get asked constantly — from supplements, peptides, liver support, PCOS, Hashimoto’s, and postpartum recovery to protecting peace within your home and creating a slower, more intentional life. We also share more of the personal side of this journey: • how I got into integrative health • the highs and lows along the way • fears around ticks and Lyme disease • navigating health anxiety • why symptoms are signals, not inconveniences • and the importance of discernment in modern health conversations Resources Mentioned: • “Bury It With Me” Supplement Bundle (Fullscript) https://us.fullscript.com/plans/elevatedintegrativewellness-ellie-s-bury-me-with-it-bundle • My first podcast episode sharing my story + background https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/elevated-conversations-about-health-healing/id1753765757?i=1000660087545 • The book “Bitten” https://a.co/d/0c7O5d03 Whether you’re trying to rebuild your health, support your family naturally, or simply create more peace in your life, this episode is a reminder that healing is often simpler — and slower — than we’ve been taught.
