E31: The Hidden Side of Health: Trauma, Hormones and Menstrual Wellness with former four-time CrossFit Games athlete and family physician, Dr. Julie Foucher

The Rejuvenating Health Podcast

What do you think of when it comes to the most vital aspects of health and wellness? The answer isn't just about nutrition and exercise; it's about understanding the impact trauma has on our physical and mental health and how our thoughts and experiences affect our immune system, nervous system, and hormones. Our guest, Dr. Julie Foucher, a seasoned practitioner from Wild Health, peels back the layers of this complex issue, sharing her perceptions on the limitations of conventional care and her belief that health is built in communities.
Three Key Takeaways From Today's Episode:

1. Learn the ins and outs of the taboo topic of menstrual education, a crucial aspect of women's healthcare that's often overlooked. We explore the pros and cons of birth control, how to care for our bodies during our periods, and the game-changing technologies that can help manage menstrual cycles.
2. Learn how trauma could be impacting your health. Trauma can manifest in our bodies in numerous ways, leading to autoimmune disease, weight gain, and anxiety.
3. Learn what Dr. Foucher is doing to educate women about their health and well-being and how conventional medicine often fails to address these issues and highlights the risk of burnout among healthcare providers.
You'll also get to hear Lindsey try to contain her excitement from the get-go in this conversation with one of her biggest mentors in the health and wellness space. This one's packed with value. We are very excited to share this conversation with you, ladies.
