Well-Adjusted Mama: Holistic Support for Mamas and Mamas-To-Be

In this episode, I'm joined by Dr. Marlene Siegel, an integrative veterinarian and passionate advocate for transforming the way we care for our pets. We dive deep into the powerful connection between pet health, environmental toxins, and family wellness — and why what we feed and expose our animals to matters just as much as what we do for ourselves. Dr. Siegel shares her personal story of how a crisis with her daughter's horse became the turning point that led her from traditional veterinary medicine to a holistic, root-cause approach. She outlines a clear six-step framework for creating a healthy environment for pets, from proper nutrition and clean water to detoxification, emotional health, and mitochondrial support. If you've ever wondered how your pet's health impacts your household or how to give them the best chance at a long, vibrant life, this conversation is packed with insight, tools, and hope. Key Takeaways: Why environmental toxins affect both pets and people. How raw, species-appropriate diets support longevity. The six-step process to reduce toxins and support healing. How emotional energy impacts your pet's health. INFO ABOUT DR. MARLENE SIEGEL Dr. Marlene Siegel helps pet parents and veterinarians find solutions when traditional medicine has nothing more to offer their patients. Committed to always offering solutions when others have given up has led Dr. Siegel to be an international lecturer, researcher for integrative veterinary technologies and a consultant. In addition to her full-time clinical practice, Dr. Siegel contributes her wealth of knowledge writing journal articles and participating in webinars and podcasts. She is a true pioneer with a special expertise in Ozone Therapy, Photodynamic Therapy, Detoxification, Lymphatic, Fascia, Hyperbaric and Energy Medicine. Her success in treating complex chronic dis-ease is attributed to her focus on BioRegulatory Medicine-identifying the root cause of disease and establishing safe and effective solutions. Dr. Siegel has developed online courses for pet parents and veterinarians. For pet parents, her course enables them to learn how to integrate a holistic lifestyle and therapies for their fur babies. Her online courses for veterinarians are focused on supporting vets who want to learn more about integrating alternative services into their mainstream practices. When she was unable to find proper diets and supplements to meet her patient needs, she developed her own raw food and essential supplements company and is preparing to launch S'Paws Family Wellness Centers which are detox centers for pets and their human parents.

As women, we often prioritize everyone else's health before our own—especially during pregnancy and early motherhood. But our eyes are windows to our overall well-being, and how we care for them directly impacts how we show up for our families. In this episode, I talk with Dr. Pam Theriot, an optometrist passionate about empowering women to protect and support their vision at every stage. We cover how hormonal shifts affect eye health during pregnancy, why eye dryness is so common, and how small daily habits—like hydration, clean beauty choices, blinking more, and nighttime routines—can make a big difference. Dr. Pam also shares practical tools to reduce digital eye strain, care for your eyes postpartum, and help kids develop lifelong healthy screen habits. Takeaways: Hormonal changes during pregnancy can affect vision and dryness. Clean beauty products can reduce toxin exposure near the eyes. Hydration, blinking, and warm compresses help maintain healthy tears. Postpartum eye care matters—especially with interrupted sleep. Supporting nasal breathing can improve tear production. INFO ABOUT DR. PAM THERIOT Dr. Pam Theriot is an optometrist, author and dry eye specialist based in Louisiana. With over 20 years of experience in eye care, she leads the Dry Eye Relief Center at Lusk Eye Specialists, where she helps patients find personalized, long-term solutions to chronic eye irritation. Her own journey with dry eye began early in her career, when symptoms like dryness and discomfort began affecting her ability to wear contacts, enjoy running, or even apply makeup before work.  That frustration turned into a deep, professional mission: to help others feel at ease in their own eyes again. Dr. Theriot now shares her most effective tools and strategies through her book "Alleviate Dry Eye," online courses, a weekly blog and her Editor's Pick Award-Winning TEDx talk. Her work reaches people who struggle with red, irritated eyes and fluctuating vision. Dr. Theriot is on a mission to help 1 million people learn to care for their eyes as routinely as they care for their teeth by building simple everyday habits. DR.

KORTNEY LEANY, born near the picturesque Rocky Mountains of Colorado, grew up as a middle child in a loving family. Her journey of self-discovery began early, balancing parental expectations with her desire to forge her own path. Despite a small frame and an awkward growth spurt in high school, Kortney found her passion in weight-lifting in 2012. Competing in four fitness competitions, she marveled at the body's adaptability but also faced the harsh realities of strict diets, leading to health issues like anxiety and extreme fatigue. Driven by her experiences, Kortney delved into gut health, sharing her struggles on social media and connecting with many who faced similar challenges. Her quest for natural healing led her back to the basics: grounding, sunshine and whole foods. Now, as a mother of two, she is dedicated to educating others about the profound impact of gut health on overall well-being, embodying resilience and the power of natural healing. She has joined forces with Vital Earth Minerals, a supplement company with the same passion for natural and holistic wellness as her own, and together they are working on bringing simple solutions to living healthier lives.
