207: What Your Doctor Isn’t Testing | Thyroid, Hormones, and Getting Real Answers with Ashley Cruz Arata Hi friends! I have a brand new podcast episode live, and today we are talking all about thyroid health, hormones, and why so many women are being told they’re “fine” when they are absolutely not. I’m talking with my friend Ashley Cruz Arata, certified Integrative Health Practitioner and hormone specialist. For years she was dismissed by doctors who her me everything was fine because “all the labs were normal.” Meanwhile, she was dealing with 35 lbs of weight gain, relentless joint pain, brain fog and crippling fatigue. She eventually healed herself and now helps high-achieving women 35+ get the real answers their doctors have been missing. I think you are going to love her. Check out what we chat about: Why conventional thyroid testing only looks at two markers and why that is a massive problem for millions of women The labs you should actually be asking...

The best deals from Prime Day (things you’ll actually use) Sharing a roundup of my top finds from this year’s Prime Day! Hiii friends! How are you? I hope that your week is going well! We celebrated Father’s Day, the Pilot and I had a much-needed date night, and P had a soccer friends swim party. Today, I wanted to share a roundup of the best finds from Prime Day sales. TBH, this sale can be overwhelming and so many creatorsare sharing their favorite finds. I wanted to make my list a bit smaller, majorly focusing on quality over quantity. Everything on this list is something that we use and love, or that I’m planning on buying.

The dandruff keeps coming back, the scalp stays irritated, and regular anti-dandruff products from the pharmacy shelf barely make a dent. If that sounds familiar, you’re not alone — and the problem likely runs deeper than surface-level flaking. Why Regular Shampoos Often Fall Short The scalp is its own ecosystem. It has a natural balance of oils, bacteria, and fungi. When that balance tips, due to stress, diet changes, humidity, or hormonal shifts — certain fungi, particularly one called Malassezia, start to overgrow. This overgrowth triggers inflammation, flaking, and itching. Most over-the-counter shampoos are designed to wash away flakes. They don’t address the fungal imbalance causing them. So the flakes come back within days. This cycle continues until the root trigger is actually treated, not just masked. What Makes Ketoconazole Different...
