The Dr Kirstin Show

Is there someone or something in your life that just gets under your skin? No matter how much you think about it, talk about it, or try to "change" it - you just still get the same feeling/reaction every time. Another way to think about triggers, is less of thinking about them as a "problem" and more of an opportunity to get curious.In this episode:The Carl Jung principle that reframes everything you find irritating about other people"Perception is projection" and what it reveals about the patterns you haven't fully looked at yetA real client story: how a trigger that looked like jealousy was actually a deeply held belief about who gets to have ease and successThe shift from "why do they do that" to "where do I do that too" and why it's one of the fastest ways to change your patterns and transform your lifeWhy a dysregulated nervous system makes your triggers louder: how depleted minerals and imbalanced hormones reduce emotional regulation before your conscious mind even has a chance to catch up"Everything that irritates us about others can lead us to an understanding of ourselves." — Carl Jung Work with Dr. Kirstin:Book a discovery call → drkirstin.comDM on Instagram → @drkirstinStart with a Hair Tissue Mineral Analysis plus 90-minute deep dive consultation with Dr. K to see what your body has been carrying and how to get your body what it actually needs in order to start feeling better.

The clients of mine that heal from chronic pain and health issues are the ones who are able to transform into a better version of themselves. That's how they get out of the "gap". They finally understood that the person they were was the one that played a part or role in some way in creating the chronic health issues they had and that to finally heal they would need to change at the root, identity level. In this episode:Why results only stick when they match who your nervous system believes you are not just what you're working towardWhat's really happening when progress suddenly stalls: the identity gap between who you're becoming and who your unconscious has "on file"Why the nervous system pulls you back to familiar, not because familiar is good, but because it's knownHow "being the sick one" or "being the tired one" can quietly become part of your identity and why getting well means letting go of a story that's been organizing your lifeWhy awareness alone isn't enough to change deep patterns, and what it actually takes to rewire at the identity level"You will only sustain results that match who you believe yourself to be. Not what you want. Not what you're working toward. Who you believe you are right now." — Dr. Kirstin LauritzenWork with Dr. Kirstin:Book a discovery call → drkirstin.comDM on Instagram → @drkirstinStart with a Hair Tissue Mineral Analysis plus 90-minute deep dive consultation with Dr. K to see what your body has been carrying and how to get your body what it actually needs in order to start feeling better.

Have you ever gotten close to what you wanted only to see it seem to fall apart or pull away? You start to make progress losing weight and then somehow the momentum fades. You finally seem to have found something that's working for your chronic pain and health issues only to not completely follow through. I know it can seem like that part of you is the enemy, but what if the part of you that keeps pulling back, shutting down, going quiet right when things start to get good, what if it isn't your enemy and actually a part that's trying to protect you?In this episode:Why "self-sabotage" is the wrong word and what's actually happening beneath the patternThe NLP concept that reframes every behavior that seems to be working against youHow protection shows up in your physiology: what low sodium, low potassium, and high calcium on an HTMA actually meanWhy your nervous system might be creating fatigue, brain fog, and resistance, not because you don't want it enough, but because "go" doesn't feel safeHow to stop fighting yourself and start getting curious about what your patterns are really protecting you fromMentioned in this episode:HTMA (Hair Tissue Mineral Analysis): a functional lab test that shows years of nervous system stress patterns stored in the body, including the minerals of forward movement, action, and vitalityNLP (Neuro-Linguistic Programming): the framework that every behavior has a positive intention underneath, even the ones that seem to be holding you backFunctional medicine + nutritional work: addressing the physical side of protection patterns, not just the mindsetWork with Dr. Kirstin:Book a discovery call → drkirstin.comDM on Instagram → @drkirstinStart with a Hair Tissue Mineral Analysis plus 90-minute deep dive consultation with Dr. K to see what your body has been carrying and how to get your body what it actually needs in order to start feeling better.

When life feels out of control, most high-achieving women do the same thing: make a better plan. Track more. Optimize harder. But what if that instinct, the one that's kept you "on top of things", is actually the thing keeping you exhausted?In this episode:What "Stage 2 consciousness" is, and why control feels like peace but acts like a threatHow chronic stress shows up in your body, even when your mind thinks it's managingWhat HTMA results reveal about years of white-knuckling: depleted minerals, burnt-out adrenals, and moreThe difference between intentional action and survival-mode planningWhy real healing requires both the mindset work (NLP) and the physical repair (functional nutrition) — and why it takes 3–6 months"Control is not peace. Control is exhausting. And the more you tighten your grip, the more your nervous system reads that as a threat signal." — Dr. Kirstin LauritzenMentioned in this episode:HTMA (Hair Tissue Mineral Analysis): a functional lab test that reveals chronic stress patterns stored in the bodyNLP (Neuro-Linguistic Programming): used to rewire the unconscious belief that you must stay in control to be safeFunctional medicine + nutritional work: repairing the physical damage created by years of chronic stressWork with Dr. Kirstin:Book a discovery call → drkirstin.comDM on Instagram → @drkirstinStart with a Hair Tissue Mineral Analysis plus 90 minute deep dive consultation with Dr K to see what your body has been carrying and how to get your body what it actually needs in order to start feeling better.

Have you ever set a real goal, something you genuinely wanted, and then watched yourself slowly not do it? Not because you stopped caring, but because something invisible kept pulling you back?In this episode, Dr. Kirstin Lauritzen kicks off a brand new series with a truth that might just change everything: your struggle to stay consistent isn't a discipline problem.The world loves to tell you to try harder, want it more, build better habits. And maybe that's worked for a while. But if you've been through the programs, done the protocols, hired the coaches, and you're still feeling like you're fighting yourself every single day, this series is for you.Dr. Kirstin breaks down why willpower alone will never be enough and what's actually running underneath your behavior at an unconscious level. Drawing on NLP, functional medicine, chiropractic, and human nutrition, she introduces the concept of Cause and Effect and what it really means to stop reacting to life and start being at the cause of it.She also makes the case that most mindset work misses a critical piece: your physiology. Your hormones, minerals, and nervous system aren't separate from your thoughts and mood, they're directly shaping them. You cannot think your way out of a physiology problem. And you can't fix your physiology while your nervous system is stuck in survival mode.In this episode, you'll hear:Why discipline and willpower aren't the real issue and what actually isThe NLP concept of Cause vs. Effect, and how most of us are trained to live on the wrong side of itWhy your mind and body cannot be treated as separate systemsWhat's coming in this series and why it goes deeper than anything you've tried beforeHow a Hair Tissue Mineral Analysis (HTMA) can reveal what's happening in your body at a cellular level and why it might be your most powerful first stepReady to get started?

This episode is about anticipating the "hard" when you're not even in the hard part yet... and you're already exhausted by it.You can see it coming. You're bracing for it. And somewhere in that bracing, the good thing that's right in front of you just... slips by.If you've ever arrived at the finish line and realized you spent the whole race dreading the miles instead of running them this episode is for you.There's a pattern a lot of high-achievers share that looks like mental toughness from the outside but from the inside, it's quietly stealing some of the best moments of your life.It's the habit of scanning ahead to the hard. Pre-loading the difficulty. Bracing before you even begin.And in this episode I'm getting personal about it because I'm in it right now. Pregnant, building a business, and catching myself mentally rehearsing the exhaustion that's coming instead of being present for what's here. I'm also pulling from years of Ironman training, where I learned something that cracked this whole thing open: some of the most demanding things I've ever done didn't actually feel hard. And I want to talk about why.What you'll hear inside:The subtle pattern that looks like preparation but is actually robbing you of presence and how to recognize it in yourselfWhy anticipating the hard might be making everything harder than it needs to beThe distinction that changes everything: the difference between something being challenging and something being hard and why only one of those is a story you're telling yourselfWhat Ironman training taught me about ease, aliveness, and what happens when you stop dreading the milesThe real cost of living slightly ahead in your pregnancy, your business, your relationships, your lifeHow to stay mentally prepared and let yourself be fully present for what's good right now because those two things are more compatible than you've been toldThree questions to sit with that will start shifting this pattern immediatelyWhat it looks like to actually invite in ease and why you might be blocking it without realizingBook a clarity call to find out if Everything Is Connected is right for you: www.drkirstin.comSend it to the person in your life who's always "preparing for the worst." They need to hear this.And if you're ready to stop bracing and start actually living the good parts the link to work with me is above.

You've told yourself to calm down. You've tried to "logically" work your way out of it. You've taken the deep breath and repeated affirmations. And you've tried over and over again and it still doesn't work.What I need you to know is that, that's not a willpower problem. That's neuroscience and once you understand what's actually happening inside your brain AND how to work WITH it, that's when everything changes.Anxiety isn't a character flaw. It isn't weakness. And it isn't something you can think your way out of because it was never a "thinking problem" in the first place.In this episode, I'm breaking down exactly what anxiety is at a neurological level, why the strategies most of us were taught don't work, and most importantly what actually does. Including one simple practice you can use the next time anxiety hits that takes less than sixty seconds, as well as a few things that have worked over time for many of my clients who have been able to get off anxiety medication for good.What you'll hear inside:The real reason telling yourself to calm down makes anxiety worse not better (and the exact brain structure responsible)Why your nervous system gets stuck in a loop and the surprising thing that keeps it thereAnxiety as a signal. I.e. what your body might actually be trying to tell you, and why suppressing it long-term could be costing you more than you realizeHow the people around you and the content you consume, even your house, are shaping your nervous system every single day, whether you notice it or notThe natural tools that support your nervous system from the inside out: breathwork, adaptogens, herbs, minerals, and why the physical foundation matters more than we're toldThe reframe that changed everything for me: your brain is already running simulations here's how to choose which onesA 60-second body-based practice for the next time anxiety hits that actually works backed by neuroscienceWhat it looks like to significantly improve your anxiety in three months and how to get there-----Note: The Description below does contain affiliate links that allow you to find products mentioned in the videos and/or support the channel at no additional cost to you.

You're not broken. But something has to change.You've been carrying this... the health issues that won't resolve, the relationship patterns that keep repeating, the feeling that no matter what you try, you can't quite get your life to where you want it to be. And somewhere deep down, you know there's something you're missing.What if the pain itself is the clue?In this episode, Dr. Kirstin Lauritzen shares why the struggles that feel like your life falling apart are often the very thing calling you toward your biggest breakthrough and how getting to the root of those patterns is what finally creates the relief, the healing, and the life you've been searching for.If you've been wondering why nothing has fully worked yet, this episode will help you understand:Why doing all the "right things" still leaves you stuck and what's actually underneath thatHow your subconscious patterns are quietly shaping your health, relationships, and results (and how fast that can shift when you address them at the root)Why the challenges showing up in your life right now may be pointing you toward something you're ready to learn and what becomes possible once you doHow people go from years of struggling to real, lasting relief often faster than they ever expectedYou don't have to stay in the pain. And you don't have to wait until things get worse before you reach for something different.--------Note: The Description below may affiliate links that allow you to find products mentioned in the videos and/or support the channel at no additional cost to you.

A recent study showed that the microbiome can return to baseline about 30 days after antibiotics.And that's actually pretty interesting because a lot of current research has suggested it could take months after antibiotics for your gut to "come back to normal". So 30 days sounds reassuring, but in this episode we're going to dive into the nuance that often gets lost - even in research.“Back to normal” in a research setting simply means bacterial levels returned to where they started in a group of otherwise healthy people. It does not automatically mean your symptoms resolved. It does not mean your immune system recalibrated. It does not mean your body feels the same as it did before. And that distinction matters.If you can look back and say, “right before the last round of antibiotics was the last time I felt normal,” and ever since then you’ve dealt with more bloating, more reactivity, more joint pain, more brain fog, more skin issues, more fatigue, more inflammation… this episode is for you.In this conversation, I walk through what that study actually showed, where probiotics fit and where they do not, why food diversity and fermentation matter more than most supplements long term, and why symptoms always deserve to be part of the equation.We talk about how the gut influences immune signaling, inflammatory patterns, joint pain, anxiety, and brain function, not just "digestion".And we talk about when it makes sense to test instead of guessing, so you can stop chasing trends and start working from data that actually reflects your body.This episode is about context, individuality, specificity and the importance of bridging research with CLINICAL experience. Research is one thing, but it's about applying it to the human being... i.e. YOU.It is about remembering that research gives us population averages, but clinical care is about the human in front of you.You'll leave this episode undersatnding:How to recognize whether your health shifted after antibiotics, even if it didn’t show up immediatelyWhy gut dysfunction does not always feel like digestive distressHow inflammation in the GI tract can ripple into joints, skin, hormones, mood, and energyWhat probiotics can support and what they realistically cannot doWhy resilience in the gut is built through systems support, not one supplementAnd how to think about testing in a way that saves time, money, and unnecessary trial and error-----Note: The Description below may affiliate links that allow you to find products mentioned in the videos and/or support the channel at no additional cost to you.

What happens when external success outpaces your inner life?In this episode, Dr. Kirstin sits down with Alexia Usgaard, private advisor to accomplished entrepreneurs, international speaker, and host of the Elevate Daily podcast, for a deeply resonant conversation on burnout, devotion, and what it truly means to lead from alignment rather than default.Alexia shares her journey from Silicon Valley high-achiever to devotional leadership guide, shaped by profound loss, identity unraveling, and the realization that success without presence comes at a cost. Together, they explore how many high-performing women unknowingly live inside inherited patterns… golden child conditioning, hyper-responsibility, urgency, and self-abandonment… and why the body so often becomes the place where those patterns finally speak up.This conversation weaves together nervous system wisdom, ritual, somatic awareness, and the Gene Keys as a framework for reconnecting with your authentic gifts. It’s not about doing more or fixing yourself. It’s about remembering who you are beneath the programming, and creating a life, leadership style, and health foundation that feels sustainable, nourishing, and true.This episode is for the woman who looks successful on paper, but knows something deeper is calling.Tune in to hear:Why burnout is often less about doing too much… and more about doing too little of what brings you joyHow “default mode” leadership shows up in the body as depletion, illness, and emotional exhaustionThe link between authenticity, nervous system regulation, and sustainable successHow the Gene Keys reveal your natural gifts, shadow patterns, and soul-level frequencyWhy ritual is different from habit, and how it restores presence instead of reinforcing autopilotHow to integrate change through simple, embodied practices rather than overwhelming protocolsWhat it really takes to stop self-abandoning, even when it means being misunderstoodIf you’ve been craving a slower, truer, more embodied way to lead, heal, and live… this conversation will land exactly where it needs to.Find Alexia here:https://www.instagram.com/alexia_usgaard/alexiausgaard.comSignature 90 minute experience: ILLUMINATE: https://alexiausgaard.com/genekeys_____Note: The Description below does contain affiliate links that allow you to find products mentioned in the videos and/or support the channel at no additional cost to you.

High performers are very good at pushing through.Pushing through stress.Pushing through symptoms.Pushing through seasons that were never meant to be permanent.In this episode, I unpack the hidden cost of that pattern — especially for founders and high-capacity leaders who are used to relying on discipline, effort, and resilience to get results.We’ll talk about:Why “doing all the right things” often still isn’t enoughHow chronic stress quietly accumulates in the body over timeThe difference between commitment and attachment — and why confusing the two keeps people stuckWhy chasing fixes, protocols, or quick wins can actually slow real healingWhat it looks like to rebuild capacity instead of white-knuckling performanceThis conversation isn’t about hacks or willpower.It’s about understanding what your body has been responding to — and why listening sooner rather than later changes everything.If you’ve been functioning, but not fully yourself, this episode will put language to something you’ve likely felt for a long time.If you’re ready to stop guessing and start rebuilding capacity, you can explore the Full Body Reset (links below) or inquire about private work at drkirstin.com.Note: The Description below does contain affiliate links that allow you to find products mentioned in the videos and/or support the channel at no additional cost to you.

What happens when the strategies stop working, the pressure keeps building, and the life you’ve created no longer fits who you’re becoming?In this episode of The Dr. Kirstin Show, I’m joined by Ken Westgaard for an honest conversation about money, identity, nervous system overload, and what it actually looks like to rebuild from the inside out.Ken shares his story publicly for the first time, including years of financial stress, entrepreneurial instability, a nervous-system breaking point, divorce, and the moment he realized avoidance, not effort, was keeping him stuck. We talk about how money stress impacts the nervous system, decision-making, and self-trust, and why real change didn’t happen until he faced the emotional and subconscious patterns underneath it all.This conversation explores the deep parallels between money and health, why aligned action only works after internal alignment, and how a 30-day shift in awareness and behavior led to doubled income, restored stability, and a renewed sense of purpose rooted in service and legacy.Inside this episode, we cover:What financial stress actually does to the nervous system and decision-makingWhy avoidance and “hope it works out” thinking keeps people stuckHow subconscious money beliefs are formed, and how to begin rewiring themThe role of receiving, not just earning, in sustainable wealth and healthWhy aligned action only works after internal alignmentHow breakdowns often precede the most meaningful rebuildsLetting go of old identities to step into purpose-driven workAnd how personal healing creates ripple effects far beyond the individualThis isn’t a conversation about hustle or mindset hacks. It’s about honesty, responsibility, safety, and rebuilding in a way that actually lasts.🎧 Listen in if you’ve felt the weight of carrying too much, questioning your direction, or knowing something deeper needs to change.Connect with Ken here on instagramAnd on threads here----Note: The Description below does contain affiliate links that allow you to find products mentioned in the videos and/or support the channel at no additional cost to you.

What actually restores your energy when you’re not just tired… but worn down by trying to fix it? In this episode, I’m sharing why I created the Full Body Reset and what I learned from guiding the very first live round. Not from theory or trends, but from being inside the process myself and watching how real bodies responded when we stopped chasing symptoms and started supporting energy at the root.This conversation is about what actually changes when you shift your focus to the systems that create energy in the first place. We talk about mitochondria and why they matter far more than most people realize, how the gut and microbiome directly fuel cellular energy, and why metabolism so often stalls even when nutrition looks solid on paper.I also share why this reset was never meant to be just about food. Because what became unmistakably clear is that when the nervous system is overloaded, nothing else works the way it should. Stress changes how energy is produced, how blood sugar is regulated, how nutrients are used, and how safe the body feels to heal.Throughout the episode, I reflect on the personal lessons that stood out the most… the gaps that showed up in my own routine, especially around protein and blood sugar; why structure around food isn’t about control, but about freeing up mental space; and why short, intentional resets often create more momentum than long plans that feel overwhelming before you even begin.Tune in to hear:- Why chronic fatigue is rarely a motivation issue and almost always a capacity issue- What supporting mitochondria actually does for energy, metabolism, and resilience- How the microbiome fuels cellular energy through short-chain fatty acids- Why metabolism breaks down even when nutrition looks “clean”- The role blood sugar stability plays in hormones, inflammation, and energy- Why protein gaps often show up in the middle of the day without you realizing it- How structure and planning reduce nervous system load, not freedom- Why nervous system regulation has to be part of any sustainable reset- What it means to support the physical, mental, emotional, and energetic body together_____Note: The Description below does contain affiliate links that allow you to find products mentioned in the videos and/or support the channel at no additional cost to you.

After years of working with high-performing women, I’ve learned this: symptoms don’t appear randomly. They show up when a nervous system has been carrying more than it can hold for too long.In this episode, Coach Emily Bishop and I explore the hidden cost of self-abandonment… especially for women who are capable, driven, and deeply accustomed to putting everyone else first.Fatigue, anxiety, irritability, brain fog, hormonal chaos, burnout… these aren’t personal flaws or failures of discipline. They’re feedback. Signals from a nervous system that’s been overridden, ignored, or stretched beyond its capacity in the name of responsibility, success, or being “the strong one.”This conversation unpacks why so many women don’t feel permission to rest, ask for support, or put themselves first… and how self-sacrifice quietly erodes nervous system capacity over time. We talk about why symptoms often appear before labs look abnormal, how emotional load and unresolved stress show up physically, and what it actually means to rebuild capacity without guilt.If you’ve ever felt like your body is becoming harder to manage, more reactive, or less resilient… this episode will help you reframe what’s really happening._____Note: The Description below does contain affiliate links that allow you to find products mentioned in the videos and/or support the channel at no additional cost to you.

Most high-performing women I work with aren’t stuck because they’re doing nothing. They’re stuck because they’re either doing everything or they don’t know what to do next — and either way, they don’t have a system that integrates it all.In this episode, I break down the two biggest mistakes that keep women running 7- and 8-figure businesses exhausted, even when they’re doing “all the right things.”The first is fragmented healing. When the gut, hormones, thyroid, nervous system, and mitochondria are treated as separate problems, the body never fully recovers. Energy breaks down when communication between systems breaks down, and no single protocol can fix that in isolation.The second mistake is trying to effort your way into healing. High performers are wired to push harder when something feels off, but the body doesn’t heal through force. It heals when it has the capacity and safety to shift out of survival mode. Chronic stress, even when it feels normal, quietly disrupts digestion, hormone signaling, detoxification, and mitochondrial function.We walk through real client examples, why “normal labs” don’t always translate into real energy, and why sequencing and integration matter far more than doing more.This episode reveals the blind spot most protocols miss and sets the stage for the solution — a method that brings everything together so your body can finally respond.Referenced studies: https://www.frontiersin.org/journals/physiology/articles/10.3389/fphys.2017.00319/full_____Note: The Description below does contain affiliate links that allow you to find products mentioned in the videos and/or support the channel at no additional cost to you.

What if the reason you’re still burnt out, anxious, or stuck in the same symptoms… isn’t your hormones, your labs, or your strategy — but the subconscious programs running beneath your awareness?In today’s episode, I’m joined by NLP trainer and transformational coach Megan Blacksmith to unpack the patterns that silently run your decisions, your health, and your capacity as a high-performing woman.And here’s the truth most founders never hear:You were never meant to figure all of this out alone.You don’t have the time — or the distance — to catch your own blind spots.This is why you need someone who can act as the Director of Your Health…someone who can see what you can’t, ask the questions you’d never think to ask, and guide you toward the identity shifts your body has been waiting for.Inside the episode we explore:• The subconscious beliefs that keep high achievers burnt out even when they “do everything right”• Why your body resists healing when your identity isn’t aligned with the life you’re building• The patterns Megan and I both see in 7–9 figure founders• Why certainty—not strategy—is the leading predictor of success• The emotional and neurological links between your symptoms and your story• How having a health director collapses the timeline on healing, clarity, and long-term resultsIf you're a woman running companies, households, teams, or futures… you don’t need more guesswork.You need someone who can help you interpret your patterns, direct your next moves, and guide you toward the version of you who knows she can feel better.This episode will show you exactly why._____Note: The Description below does contain affiliate links that allow you to find products mentioned in the videos and/or support the channel at no additional cost to you.

Many women have done everything — hormone testing, supplements, seed cycling, even HRT — and still feel exhausted, inflamed, disconnected from their body, and completely confused.Here’s the truth no one is saying: hormones are messengers, not the root cause.In this episode, I show you the upstream systems that actually drive hormone symptoms — your gut, mitochondria, liver, nervous system, and even your subconscious patterns — and how rebuilding these foundations transforms everything.If your labs look “normal” but you still don’t feel normal… this will make everything click._____Note: The Description below does contain affiliate links that allow you to find products mentioned in the videos and/or support the channel at no additional cost to you.

If you’ve done the gut protocols, labs, and diets—but still feel awful—this is for you.In this episode, I reflect on a powerful post by Peta Kelly and dive deep into a conversation I’ve had with many clients (and myself): When did wellness become fear-based? And why do we feel like we have to control everything just to feel “somewhat okay”?I share my own journey—from eliminating toxins, gut protocols, and strict routines… to realizing that healing didn’t fully land until I addressed the deeper layers: identity, emotions, trauma, subconscious beliefs, and nervous system safety.If you’ve ever felt like you’re doing everything right—the labs, the diets, the supplements—but still feel off, this episode will help you zoom out and breathe again.

It’s a transmission from the in-between — between grief and growth, between letting go and rising up.Dr. Kirstin shares a deeply personal reflection on the passing of her 103-year-old grandfather, her body’s recent whispers (think: coffee suddenly feeling “aggressive” and sunlight becoming medicine), and the profound realization that healing doesn’t come from doing more… it comes from choosing truth over force.If you’re a high-achieving woman who’s exhausted from trying to “figure it all out,” this conversation is going to feel like an exhale.Tune in to hear:How forcing success and healing can actually delay bothThe identity loop that keeps overachievers stuck in burnoutWhy your nervous system might be resisting “the fix”What your body is really saying when it craves sugar, stillness, or sunlightThe power of honoring completion before rushing into the next thing The surprising moment when everything finally started to heal — without forcing a thingLinks from this episode:Ready to shift out of burnout and into true healing?

Have you ever done all the healing—therapy, journaling, self-care—and still felt like no one truly sees you? Like you’re holding everyone else together… but no one’s holding you?In today’s episode, I’m sharing a deeply personal (and very common) pattern that so many high-achieving moms fall into without even realizing it. It’s the hidden loop of over-functioning, people-pleasing, and emotional self-abandonment that creates chronic stress, burnout, and even physical illness—even when you’re doing the mindset work and trying to “take care of yourself.”We talk about the exact belief that was driving my own burnout, how I realized I was rejecting help while crying out for support, and what it really takes to rewire the nervous system so you can stop operating from survival and start living from a place of receiving.If you’ve ever felt like your body is shutting down, like no one shows up for you the way you show up for them, or like your worth is tied to how much you do… this episode will hit home.Tune in to hear:The subconscious belief that keeps high-achieving moms stuck in burnoutHow nervous system dysregulation can show up as doing more, not restingWhy self-care routines don’t always work—and what’s missing beneath themWhat “being strong” really costs when it’s rooted in emotional avoidanceHow to shift from self-sacrifice to self-trust (without burning it all down)A 6-minute practice to start feeling supported—without needing anyone else to changeGrab the guided meditation here https://kirstin-lauritzen.mykajabi.com/the-resetReady to go deeper?Join me inside The Worthy Breakthrough— We’ll walk through how to rewire the beliefs that have you stuck in burnout and open up to receiving without guilt, shame, or “earning it.”https://kirstin-lauritzen.mykajabi.com/worthy

What if the reason you’re stuck in your healing journey isn’t because you need to do more, but because your body doesn’t feel safe enough to change? In this episode of The Doctor Kirstin Show, I’m kicking off a new series where I break down the biggest health challenges I see—autoimmune disease, gut issues, hormone imbalances, chronic fatigue, and more—through the lens of deep transformation. If you’ve been doing “all the right things” but still feel stuck, this episode is for you. We’re diving into why stress, capacity, and safety are the true foundations of healing, and how shifting your inner world can unlock the results you’ve been chasing. Tune in to hear: Why stress is at the root of nearly every chronic health condition—and how to stop it from sabotaging your healing. How your body’s sense of safety determines whether you gain or lose weight, recover from illness, or stay stuck. The powerful connection between your beliefs, nervous system, and ability to heal. Why doing more isn’t the answer—and what to do instead to get real, lasting results. How to shift your internal wiring so that your body finally aligns with what you want, not what you fear. If you’re ready to break free from cycles of burnout, exhaustion, and plateaued progress, this episode will give you the perspective shift you need to start seeing long term, sustainable change.

What if resting wasn’t about losing momentum, but about creating the capacity to grow, heal, and thrive? In this episode of The Doctor Kirstin Show, I’m diving into the second part of our conversation on rest—how it’s deeply tied to our sense of worthiness and our ability to receive support, healing, and joy. Rest isn't just physical; it’s about rewiring your mindset, breaking through limiting beliefs, and creating space for what you truly want. As a mom, entrepreneur, or someone navigating chronic health challenges, you might fear that rest will derail your motivation or progress. But the truth is, the opposite happens when you learn to integrate rest into your life intentionally. I’ll share a transformative process I’ve developed to help you build capacity, regulate your emotions, and align your mind, body, and spirit for long-term success. Tune in to hear: Why rest is foundational for emotional regulation, avoiding burnout, and creating space for growth. The three key barriers to achieving what you want: stress, emotional dysregulation, and worthiness. How subconscious beliefs about rest and support might be blocking your progress. The importance of transitioning your motivation from pain to focused joy and alignment. Practical rituals and tools to help your mind and body embrace rest and rejuvenation. If you’re ready to explore rest as a superpower for sustainable growth, this episode is for you!

Some of the most common things my clients have said they want more of in their life are energy, mental clarity or stillness or more internal peace (something along those lines), and happiness/joy. If you're thinking yes, but also I want to be healthy, the question I ask is what would having health give you. Like, how would you feel about yourself, your life, when you have the health (or any outcome) you want? Most people will tell you to do the hard thing meaning do what you need to do first, or get yourself motivated and do everything before you take a break, earn your rest. And this by far is one of the most common stories that I find behind people who struggle to rest AND in many of these cases my clients with these patterns are coming to see me because they have anxiety or a chronic illness or they're stuck in a pattern that no matter how hard they work to achieve it... they can't. I'm offering a different perspective on rest. Flipping the story. Giving you a different way to look at your relationship with rest and doing MORE of what you want to do in your day/life. One thing you might find is that doing more of what you want doesn't necessarily come at the expense of doing what you need to do... in fact, you might find that "motivation" comes back and the procrastination seems to dissolve a lot faster. If this episode resinated, come find me over on instagram @drkirstin and send me a message. I'd love to hear your thoughts and feedback. If you'd like to learn more about the programs mentioned at the end, head to this link for the WORTHY breakthrough workshop Or send me a message over on instagram to get the details about the new breakthrough series that, in 8 weeks, will get to the root of your anxiety, burnout, rage, guilt and overwhelm making those "old" patterns. By the end of the 8 weeks you'll not only be no longer stuck, but you'll also know that the things that used to make you upset, that you used to react to, no longer do that anymore and now you have the capacity to respond. Now you no longer ride the emotional rollercoaster and the mental spirals and cycles? You've stepped off of those and created your new path.

On this episode of The Dr. Kirstin Show, we are diving deep into the journey of healing autoimmune conditions by addressing both the physical and emotional aspects of health. In this episode Dr Kirstin highlights the frustration many feel when navigating conflicting health information. She stresses the importance of patience, consistency, and self-trust in the healing process. She also explores the emotional patterns commonly associated with autoimmune diseases, referencing Dr. Gabor Maté’s work on the connection between suppressed emotions and chronic illness. Dr. Kirstin connects these insights to the challenges and opportunities of motherhood, explaining how healing unaddressed emotional wounds can benefit not only mothers but their children as well. This episode offers valuable insights and actionable steps for those seeking holistic solutions to autoimmune struggles and motherhood challenges.

Today on the podcast I have guest Dr Emma Andre with me sharing about the benefits of Psychedelic medicine, specifically Ketamine, for mental health and trauma. It's been used for mental health for over 20 years to help with conditions like depression and anxiety and it works faster than traditional antidepressants. Here on this podcast we talk a lot about transformational medicine and how our health and disease has a lot to do with the stories we tell ourselves and our inner world. On this episode you'll learn how we can use psychedelic medicine, like Ketamine, to improve chemical imbalances in the brain and help to really disrupt negative feelings and patterns to create new, healthier ones. Ketamine is the first legal clinician-prescribed psychedelic treatment for depression, anxiety, chronic pain, PTSD, OCD, substance use disorders, and other mental health-related conditions.We hope you enjoy this episode!

If you're new here, welcome! I'm Dr Kirstin Lauritzen. Today we are talking all about a super common root cause that I see all the time when it comes to healing chronic health conditions and balancing hormones... it's the fear of resting and the constant pressure to achieve and do everything. There's a connection between your subconscious beliefs and physical health. The problem starts when we stop listening and start ignoring how we feel. That's when the "mind over body" approach can lead to burnout, fatigue, and worsening symptoms. In this episode you'll learn: - How fear and guilt around rest & recovery contribute to health challenges. - About the power of addressing emotional and mental health alongside physical symptoms - You'll get practical strategies for moms to create space and restore balance your life...

In today's episode I'm sharing my thoughts behind why I believe if we really want to shift out of overwhelm and burnout we need to get to the root of where those feelings/behaviors come from. Our thought patterns, behaviors, our actions come from our belief systems. It's "programming" or "conditioning". It's what we learned as we grew up. We learned how to survive. We learned how to have our needs met. Sometimes though as we get older, that "belief system" no longer works for us. And that's what today's episode is all about.

For the longest time I was terrified of facing my emotions and the stuff that had happened in my past that made me want to vomit even remotely thinking about it. So... I didn't. Until I got to a point in my life that so much was happening that I didn't like and I so desperately wanted to change it.What I realized was that I had a choice. I could either continue choosing the "hard" I was currently living in OR I could choose to face the hard deep inner work and allow myself to transform and create the life I do want.If you're in a similar place, realizing that what you're doing right now isn't working and you KNOW there's something better for you - you just don't quite know how to get there... this episode is for you.

Welcome to the first Dr K Unplugged episode where I get a little spicy after seeing a few posts on social media that honestly pissed me off. Now before we jump in, as I state right at the beginning, YES there are studies showing that movement and exercise can help prevent depression & anxiety symptoms and can help improve mood. I know. Is it part of a healthy lifestyle? YES. For those of you that don't know me, I'm an athlete. I know the benefits of exercise. Additionally, I've worked with many clients that were training, fitness was a part of their lifestyle, and they were STILL on medications for depression/anxiety. And being a mom who recently had a kiddo who went through a really difficult sleep regression that made it difficult to workout and really tested my tools and mental resilience, I'm here to discuss root cause solutions to mood imbalances, depression & anxiety that are not widely discussed.Links from this episode: Sign Up For the Functional Motherhood Waitlist: https://nw-functional-medicine.ck.page/9dbcfb47be Join The Worthy Breakthrough Session to start getting to the root of feeling worthless, never enough and are ready to start learning how to meet your own needs so that you can meet the needs of your family from an overflowing cup: https://kirstin-lauritzen.mykajabi.com/offers/7EFsSvuK Check out these previous videos: ➡️Creating an integrated mind and body - https://youtu.be/LR7STf2O-YU ➡️How To Overcome Overtraining and Inflammation Through Gut and Mitochondria Health - https://youtu.be/AQEop2CZC5o Let's connect!

One of the things I struggled with the MOST before becoming a mom was how I could possibly do both - run a business and be a mom. It felt like two monumental tasks to do at the same time and I allowed the narrative that I couldn't do both hold me back from having kids. On the show today I have guest, Laura Sinclair and we talk all about motherhood, business and business pivots. It's a fabulous conversation with so much wisdom and great nuggets. I hope you enjoy it!
