Uplift For Her

Episode 71 - Dr. Khushboo Joshi, board-certified orthopedic clinical specialist and pelvic floor physical therapist, joins us for an eye-opening conversation to explore how different cultures around the world honor and support women in the sacred postpartum period. Drawing from her extensive experience and cross-cultural research, Khushboo compares the American approach—often marked by isolation, minimal medical follow-up, and pressure to “bounce back”—with the restorative traditions of India and South Korea, where new mothers are cared for, nourished, and truly given time to heal. Whether you’re a new mom, a grandmother, a healthcare provider, or simply someone who wants to better support the women in your life, this episode will leave you inspired to rethink postpartum recovery—and to advocate for rest, nourishment, and community as non-negotiables in women’s health.

Episode 69 - Dr. Sarah McNurlin, founder of Pinyon Physical Therapy in Salt Lake City, is a physical therapist specializing in nervous-system-informed care. Drawing from years of clinical experience and her own family’s struggles with pain, she shares why pain is always real but not always a sign of tissue injury, how the nervous system can amplify signals until they feel overwhelming, and what we can do to break that cycle. In our conversation, we explore the science of pain in a way that’s easy to understand and full of hope. You’ll hear why symptoms like fibromyalgia, pelvic pain, or recurring back issues often linger long after the body has healed, and how brain-based tools such as graded motor imagery, laterality testing, and mirror therapy can literally rewire your experience of pain. Sarah also offers simple practices—like breathing, reframing language, and reconnecting with safe body memories—that you can begin at home to calm your nervous system and reduce symptoms. If you’ve ever felt dismissed by a doctor who “can’t find anything wrong,” yet you’re still in pain, this episode is for you. Chronic pain is one of the most frustrating and misunderstood conditions, leaving many people—especially women—feeling hopeless. But as today’s guest explains, pain doesn’t always mean damage, and there are powerful ways to retrain the body and brain to feel safe again.

Episode 68 - Dr. James Greenblatt, pioneer in functional and integrative psychiatry, joins us today in uncovering the truth about ADHD in women. He explains why the classic symptoms in boys—like hyperactivity—don't always apply to girls, leading to internalized struggles with self-esteem and frustration. Dr. Greenblatt shares his "Plus-Minus" treatment plan, a practical framework for giving your brain what it needs and removing what it doesn’t. We dive into the science-backed, actionable insights that go beyond medication, exploring everything from key supplements like magnesium and nutritional lithium to the critical role of gut health and diet. This is a hopeful and empowering conversation for anyone who has ADHD, thinks they might, or is a parent trying to help their child find lasting focus and mental clarity.   Connect with Dr. Greenblatt: Find his book, Finally Focused, on our Uplift for Her Amazon storefront For patients: jamesgreenblattmd.com Educational Platform for Professionals: psychiatryredefined.org Thanks for listening!

Episode 63 - Jennifer Falkner, DNP at Uplift for Her, joins Dr. Cracroft for an honest, insightful conversation about what’s really happening in your body during perimenopause and menopause—and what you can do about it. From confusing symptoms like anxiety, mood swings, and disrupted sleep to the long-term health implications of declining hormones, this episode pulls back the curtain on the midlife transition that every woman deserves to feel prepared for. You’ll learn why this phase isn’t just about hot flashes—and why menopause is truly a medical milestone that deserves a proactive, functional approach. We cover the full hormone picture (estrogen, progesterone, and testosterone), how to tell what phase you’re in even without a period, and why labs aren’t always helpful.

Episode 62 - Dr. Michelle Jorgensen, biological and holistic dentist turned functional health educator, joins us to challenge the status quo of modern wellness. Spoiler alert: more supplements and stricter routines aren’t the answer.  Dr. Michelle shares her personal journey from mercury-induced illness to deep healing, and the eye-opening realizations that came along the way. We dive into her new book, Living Well with Dr. Michelle, and explore how energy is created—literally—at the cellular level, and how we can work with our bodies instead of fighting against them. She breaks down the four essential pillars of cellular health (supplies, support, security, and signals), the importance of seasonal rhythms in healing, and simple, powerful tools to recharge your energy—without burnout or biohacking overload.

Episode 61 - Dr. Jordan Rullo, board-certified clinical health psychologist, sex therapist, and Gottman-certified couples therapist, brings science, empathy, and clarity to a topic too often shrouded in shame and confusion. In this refreshingly honest and deeply informative episode, we dive into the complex world of sex and intimacy in long-term relationships. We unpack the difference between spontaneous and responsive desire, why desire discrepancies are normal (and solvable), and how emotional connection plays a crucial role in physical intimacy. You’ll also hear about the role of “brake pedals” and “gas pedals” in desire, what healthy intimacy looks like, how to deal with shame and performance pressure, and why communication—not candles—is the real spark you need. Whether you’re in a dry spell, feeling misunderstood, or simply want to connect better with your partner, this episode is a must-listen.

Episode 60 - Dr. Candice Wood, perinatal mental health specialist and OB-GYN, joins us for a deeply personal and eye-opening conversation, sharing what every mother (and support person) needs to know about the mental health challenges that arise after birth. Postpartum isn’t just about diapers and sleep deprivation—it’s a massive emotional, hormonal, and identity shift that many women quietly endure while being told to “enjoy every moment.”  From understanding baby blues versus clinical postpartum depression to recognizing red flags and building a postpartum support plan, Dr. Wood offers compassionate insight, evidence-based tools, and powerful personal stories from her work as a perinatal mental health specialist and OB-GYN. Whether you’re pregnant, newly postpartum, or supporting someone who is, this episode is a must-listen.

Episode 59 - Philippa Saunders, internationally renowned researcher, dives deep with us into the misunderstood and often-dismissed world of endometriosis. We unpack why endometriosis is more than just period pain — it’s a complex, whole-body condition that affects 1 in 10 women and is commonly misdiagnosed or ignored. We explore why diagnosis can take up to a decade, how symptoms extend beyond the reproductive system to the gut, bladder, and brain, and what new research is revealing about the causes, genetic predispositions, and chronic inflammation driving the disease. You’ll learn about emerging and integrative treatment strategies including nutrition, physiotherapy, CBD, and multi-disciplinary care, plus the powerful role of patient advocacy. If you’ve ever been told that your painful periods are “normal” — or if you’ve struggled for years without clear answers about chronic pelvic pain, fatigue, or fertility challenges — this episode is for you. Whether you’re newly diagnosed or still searching for answers, this empowering episode offers validation, education, and practical steps to support your health journey.
