The Overflow Podcast: A Women's Wellness Round Table

When illness moves through your home, it can feel disruptive, exhausting and sometimes even like you’ve failed.In this episode of Overflow: A Women’s Wellness Roundtable, we have an honest conversation about immune system support and tools not from a place of fear or panic, but from grounded wisdom and real-life experience as moms.We talk about what it looks like to support our families naturally, when to lean into rest instead of guilt, how to build confidence in your mother intuition, and how to approach illness as something the body can often work through, not something to immediately suppress.This conversation is about mindset, tools, and trust.✨ In This Episode, We Talk About:Why sugar can make illness harder on the bodyThe importance of rest — and letting go of guilt when you cancel plansSunlight as a simple immune-support toolSupporting the body instead of immediately suppressing symptomsWhat homeopathy is and how it worksEssential oils for immune support and respiratory healthHow to use supportive tools like elderberry, broth, tea, and hydrationWhy illness can be a detox and immune-strengthening eventFevers and the body’s intelligenceBuilding your child’s “immune library”When to trust your gut and when medical support is appropriateLearning from past parenting experiences without carrying shameSeeing illness weeks as connection opportunities instead of failures🌿 A Shift in PerspectiveOne of the biggest themes in this episode is this:Illness is not always a crisis.Sometimes it’s the body doing important work.We talk about how our mindset has evolved over the years from fear and guilt to confidence and calm. How slowing down, making soup, offering tea, massaging little backs, and letting the body rest can be deeply supportive.And we also acknowledge that modern medicine is a gift, but that we, as mothers, are not powerless. Our intuition matters. Our observation matters. Our calm matters.Grab Our Free ResourcesNourish, Breathe, Rest: An Audio Series for Mom's Who Do it All7 Tips for Loving Your ThyroidFollow us On instagram: Becky WebbAndrea LahmanBronwyn DeiterIf this episode resonated with you, please subscribe to Overflow on Apple Podcasts, Spotify, or YouTube.

A behind-the-scenes look at navigating childhood autoimmune disease with courage, advocacy, and whole-body healing.In this powerful episode of Overflow: A Women’s Wellness Roundtable, Becky Webb opens up about one of the most life-altering seasons her family ever walked through—her son Caden’s undiagnosed autoimmune illness, two adrenal crises, and the terrifying reality of nearly losing him.Addison’s Disease is rare, often missed, and frequently misunderstood. Becky’s story reveals the emotional, physical, and spiritual weight of navigating a complex chronic illness, advocating for your child, and trusting your intuition when something in your child’s body feels “off”—even when the medical system doesn’t yet have answers.This episode is for every parent who has felt scared, dismissed, overwhelmed, or alone in a medical crisis.It’s a story of resilience, intuition, faith, and the real hope that healing is possible.✨ What We Talk AboutThe subtle signs that something was wrong before Caden’s diagnosisHow Caden went into adrenal crisis—what it looked like and why it was life-threateningThe frightening reality of ICU stays and watching your child rapidly declineWhat Addison’s Disease actually is and why it’s so often missedHow a misdiagnosis prolonged Caden’s sufferingThe emotional toll of being a mother in a medical emergencyMoments where Becky intuitively knew something was wrong—and was rightThe importance of advocating for your child even when you feel unheardHow chronic illness impacts the whole familySteroids as a needed life-saving “band-aid” during crisisHow Becky held onto hope that Caden’s body could still healWhat the long-term journey of rebuilding adrenal and immune health looked likeThe role of faith, intuition, and perseverance in surviving the hardest momentsWhy parents should trust their instincts—every single time💛 Key TakeawaysAutoimmune illness can be subtle at first. Fatigue, weakness, and personality shifts are often early signs parents notice before labs ever detect the problem.Addison’s Disease is serious and easily missed. Early intervention can save a life.A mother’s intuition is often the first—and best—early warning system. If something feels wrong, pursue answers until someone listens.Chronic illness affects the entire household. Emotional, spiritual, and physical support are all essential.Steroids can be life-saving without meaning you’ve failed. They buy time and stability so deeper healing can begin.Healing is possible. Even after adrenal collapse or autoimmune overwhelm, the body can rebuild with the right support.Faith and persistence matter. Hope carried Becky through the moments when nothing made sense and no one had answers.🧡 Supportive Approaches DiscussedFor adrenal and autoimmune stability:Emergency steroid protocolsRecognizing early signs of adrenal crisisUnderstanding sodium, hydration, and stress responseWorking closely with a specialist who understands Addison’s DiseaseFor long-term healing:Gentle nourishmentRebuilding mineral reservesSupporting liver and immune healthStress reduction and nervous system supportHonoring rest and recoveryAddressing root causes graduallyFor emotional and spiritual support:Allowing grief while still believing for healingPrayer, intuition, and listening to the Holy SpiritCommunity supportProcessing trauma and fear after medical crises📚 Resources You May Want to ExploreBecky's Free Resources7 Tips for Managing Stress and Loving on your Thyroid (Andrea)Bronwyn's Blog📌 Connect with Your HostsFollow us on Instagram:BeckyBronwynAndrea🎧 If You Loved This Episode…Please subscribe and leave a review on Apple or Spotify.Your support helps more women learn to live from overflow instead of depletion—mind, body, and soul.

5. Is Birth Control Making Women Sick? A Mind–Body Look at Hormones, Minerals & MoodThe Hidden Side Effects of Birth Control: What Most Women Are Never ToldIn this episode of Overflow: A Women’s Wellness Roundtable, hosts Becky Webb, Andrea Lehman, and Bronwyn Deiter sit down for one of the most eye-opening and important conversations yet—the real impact of hormonal birth control on women’s bodies, minds, minerals, and long-term health.Birth control is often handed out to teens and women with almost no education, no informed consent, and zero discussion of root causes. In this raw and honest episode, the hosts share their own stories—including intense anxiety that doctors dismissed—as well as the deeper mineral science behind what hormonal contraceptives actually do inside the body.This is not fear-based.It’s information every woman deserves to have.✨ What We Talk AboutPersonal stories of sudden anxiety and emotional changes after starting birth controlWhy doctors often deny the connection—and why women must learn to trust their intuitionHow birth control disrupts copper regulation, ceruloplasmin (“the copper train”), and iron handling in the bodyWhy copper dysregulation can lead to anxiety, fatigue, fibromyalgia symptoms, and mood changesHow antibiotics and psychiatric meds create similar mineral disruptionsA Danish study of 1 million women showing a strong link between hormonal birth control & depressionWhy these effects are often WORSE for teenage girlsWhy birth control is prescribed for acne and cramps—and better holistic alternativesThe connection between the oral microbiome, gut bacteria, acne, and skin healthThe role of liver detox pathways, minerals, and xenoestrogens in PMS & painful cyclesWhy synthetic fragrances contribute to cramps and hormonal chaos in teensSupporting your daughter’s hormone health without relying on hormonal pillsThe moral and biological implications of how birth control actually prevents pregnancyHow birth control affects pregnancy readiness, copper stores, anemia, and baby healthThe nutritional foundations women need BEFORE conceivingWhy beef liver is the “original multivitamin”—and hilarious stories of trying to slice it at homeSmall, practical changes that support teens and women physically and emotionally💛 Key TakeawaysBirth control is not harmless. It alters minerals, mood, hormones, nutrient status, and long-term health—yet women are rarely told this.If you’ve ever felt anxious, depressed, or “not yourself” after starting birth control, you’re not crazy. Copper dysregulation and liver stress can explain why.Teens are especially vulnerable to mood side effects and should be offered real education and real alternatives.Birth control doesn’t fix root causes. It suppresses symptoms while deeper issues (gut health, minerals, liver function) go unaddressed.Women deserve informed consent. Understanding how birth control works—including its effects on implantation—is essential for those who value life.Preparing your body before pregnancy matters. Copper status, minerals, retinol, and liver health play a major role in fertility, energy, and baby’s development.Nature already provides the nutrients women need. Beef liver, raw dairy, whole foods, supportive herbs, and mineral-rich diets are powerful foundations.🧡 Practical Alternatives DiscussedFor teens with acne:Gut bacteria supportProbioticsLiver support herbs (Juvetone, Sulfurzyme, etc.)Diet awarenessReducing seed oilsOral microbiome testingClean skincare routinesFor painful cycles & PMS:Removing synthetic fragrances + xenoestrogensEssential oils (Joy for cramping)MineralsLiver supportClean beauty swapsLifestyle awareness around hormonesFor women preparing for pregnancy:Copper-balancing foodsRetinol-rich foods (butter, eggs, raw dairy)Beef liver or desiccated liverMineral repletionRest + reducing stressAvoiding hormonal contraceptives during fertility prep📚 Resources You May Want to ExploreBrownwyn's BlogBronwyn, Becky & Andrea's Free Hormone Masterclass7 Tips for Managing Stress and Loving on Your Thyroid📌 Connect with Your HostsFollow us on Instagram:BeckyBronwynAndreaFind all free resources, cycle education tools, and wellness guides linked in the show notes.🎧 If You Loved This Episode…Please subscribe and leave a review on Apple or Spotify.Your support helps more women learn to live from overflow instead of depletion—mind, body, and soul.

In this episode of Overflow: A Women’s Wellness Roundtable, we sit down for an honest and timely conversation about food — specifically, the food pyramid many of us grew up with, and why its recent revision matters more than most people realize.So many women today feel tired, inflamed, confused about food, or frustrated that “doing all the right things” still isn’t working. In this conversation, we explore how outdated nutrition messaging has quietly shaped our relationship with food — often leading to under-nourishment, blood sugar issues, and chronic stress on the body.This episode isn’t about fear, rules, or perfection. It’s about understanding how we got here, and learning how to nourish ourselves with more awareness, compassion, and wisdom.✨ What We Talk About in This EpisodeWhy the recent revision of the food pyramid is such a big dealWhat many of us remember being taught about food growing upHow six to eleven servings of grains per day became the foundationWhy under-eating is incredibly common in womenBlood sugar imbalance, insulin resistance, and constant exhaustionThe difference between traditional grains and modern processed wheatGlyphosate, hybridized wheat, and why modern grains affect the body differentlyWhy some people tolerate bread in Europe but not in the U.S.The role of protein, fat, and nutrient density in women’s healthStress, depleted soil, minerals, and modern food systemsWhy awareness matters more than perfectionSimple, realistic ways to begin nourishing yourself better🌿 A Gentle ReminderThis conversation is not about labeling foods as “good” or “bad.”It’s about recognizing that many women were simply doing the best they could with the information they were given — and that nourishment is foundational to energy, hormones, mood, and resilience.Small shifts, made with awareness, can change everything.📌 Stay ConnectedYou can find us on Instagram and explore free resources linked in the show notes:Becky WebbBronwyn DeiterAndrea LehmanGrab Our Free Resources!7 Tips of Managing Stress and Loving Your Thyroid (Andrea)Nourish.
