Wellness & Growth Journeys

Painful periods, bloating, fatigue, anxiety, brain fog, hormone chaos, feeling dismissed by doctors… sometimes it isn't "just stress" or something you need to push through. Sometimes it's a body asking to be understood. In this episode of the Wellness & Growth Journeys Podcast, I sit down with Dr. Jessica Drummond, doctor of clinical nutrition, licensed physical therapist, board-certified health coach, and founder of the Integrative Women's Health Institute, to unpack why so many women suffer silently with pelvic pain, endometriosis, perimenopause symptoms, and hormonal dysfunction.
