In this episode, I sit down with Dr. Jenette Auchter, chiropractor, functional medicine practitioner, and women’s health advocate, to explore the deeper root of so many health struggles that women face today, chronic stress and nervous system dysregulation.

Dr. Jenette shares her personal journey from being a high-achieving, perfectionist practitioner running on empty to facing serious health challenges, including an MS diagnosis, that ultimately led her to a new understanding of healing. We talk about the connection between stress, the nervous system, and physical symptoms, and why true healing goes far beyond supplements and protocols. This conversation is an invitation to slow down, listen to your body, and begin healing from the inside out.
