What if your hormones aren’t broken—your nervous system is just overwhelmed?

In this episode of True Wellness, Dr. Dee sits down with Akary Busto, Emotional Biohacker and Nervous System Strategist, to unpack the real root of burnout, inflammation, hormone resistance, and emotional reactivity in women.

We explore how trauma, chronic stress, metabolism, and even Human Design intersect with biology—and why healing can’t happen until the nervous system feels safe. This conversation blends science, physiology, and soul in a way that’s practical, empowering, and deeply validating

If you’ve ever felt exhausted, stuck, or “not yourself,” this episode will change how you understand your body.

5 THINGS YOU WILL LEARN FROM THIS EPISODE

1. Hormones don’t work in isolation — they respond to the nervous system.
2. Burnout and overwhelm are biological signals, not personal failures.
3. Healing requires safety before strategy.
4. Emotions are physiological — not something to “think your way out of.”
5. Alignment restores energy, metabolism, and self-trust.

What if the reason January diets fail isn’t lack of discipline — but hormonal resistance?

In this solo New Year’s Day episode of the TRUE Wellness Podcast, Dr. Dee breaks down why restriction feels productive… but quietly trains your body to resist weight loss.

This conversation dives into:

• why high-achieving women plateau despite “doing everything right”
• how cortisol, insulin, and nervous system stress override diet plans
• why eating less often creates more inflammation, not fat loss
• what your body is actually asking for in midlife

If you’ve ever started January motivated, restricted, and disciplined — only to feel tired, stuck, or heavier — this episode will finally explain why.

This isn’t about willpower.
It’s about regulation.

5 KEY TAKEAWAYS FROM THIS EPISODE

1. Restriction creates hormonal resistance, not metabolic freedom.

2. Cortisol overrides diet, supplements, and exercise every time.

3. Midlife weight gain is a stress signal, not a discipline failure.

4. Eating less trains the body to conserve, not release weight.

5. Regulation beats restriction for sustainable fat loss.

🎙️ Your journey to true wellness starts now!

You’re eating clean. You’re hydrating. You skipped dessert.

So why does your energy feel like it’s at 2%?

In this solo episode of the TRUE Wellness Podcast, Dr. Dee breaks down the real reason high-achieving women crash during the holidays — and it has nothing to do with food.

This episode exposes the invisible energy drain created by:

• social masking

• emotional labor

• boundary collapse

• nervous system overload

You’ll learn why chronic fatigue, brain fog, flares, and blood sugar crashes happen even when you “do everything right,” and how your nervous system — not your diet — may be neutralizing all your healthy habits.

If you’ve ever thought, “I followed the protocol perfectly… so why do I feel awful?”

This episode will finally make it make sense.

5 KEY TAKEAWAYS

1. Energy is a physical currency — not a mindset issue or a willpower problem.
2. Social masking burns massive amounts of fuel, even when you’re smiling.
3. Cortisol overrides diet, supplements, and protocols every time.
4. Boundary collapse looks like fatigue, not just people-pleasing.
5. The best superfood might be a well-placed boundary, not another supplement.

Why are smart, capable women drowning in overwhelm… even with all the planners, checklists, and productivity hacks?

In this powerful episode of the TRUE Wellness Podcast, Dr. Dee sits down with Lisa Zawrotn, who is a Productivity + Life Coach and host of the Positively Living® Podcast on a mission to redefine productivity with compassion. She helps overwhelmed clients ditch hustle culture and design shame-free, personalized systems that lead to sustainable success without burnout or sacrificing what they love.

Lisa reveals the truth behind why women burn out:

not because they’re doing too little…

but because they’re doing too much from a dysregulated nervous system.

Together, we uncover:

1. Time management doesn’t work without nervous system management.

You cannot organize your life when your brain is in survival mode.

2. Most women aren’t unproductive — they’re overwhelmed.

The problem isn’t motivation. It’s capacity.

3. Your to-do list reveals your nervous system patterns.

Avoidance, overcommitting, perfectionism — all signs of dysregulation.

4. Productivity must be personalized, not forced.

Your brain, season of life, energy, and capacity matter more than any system.

5. Self-compassion is the most productive thing you can practice.

Pressure collapses your capacity. Compassion expands it.

This isn’t time-blocking. This isn’t “do more, push harder.”

This is productivity rooted in self-compassion, nervous system regulation, and aligned decision-making.

If you’re exhausted from trying to “be productive,” this episode will set you free.

Why do so many women say “I’m fine”… while they’re secretly falling apart?

In this powerful, truth-telling episode of the TRUE Wellness Podcast, Dr. Dee sits down with Yvette and Geo of YG Collaborations — two women leading a global movement in helping high-performing women reclaim the most important relationship in their lives: their relationship with themselves.

Through their coaching, their book What Is Happening With My Life Right Now?, their retreat experiences, and their community-based transformation work, they guide women to shed the conditioning, self-abandonment, and identity-loss that becomes the silent epidemic under “I’m fine.”

Together, we uncover:
1.Fine” is the most dangerous word in a woman’s vocabulary.
Women are conditioned from childhood to silence discomfort, bury emotions, and present stability — even when crumbling inside.

2.Women don’t fall apart… they fall out of coherence.
Ignoring emotions disconnects you from your body, intuition, and identity — leading to burnout, overwhelm, and chronic symptoms.

3.Identity loss is the hidden crisis behind midlife burnout.
Most women can list what they don’t want. Very few can articulate who they ARE or what they want for themselves.

4. Your relationship with time and money reveals everything.
Your schedule, your spending, and your patterns tell the truth long before your words do.

5.Transformation cannot happen alone.
Self-help isn’t enough — because you cannot see the blind spots you are living inside.

This episode will challenge you, confront you, and ultimately liberate you.
Because every breakthrough, every success, and every fulfilled life has one common denominator: YOU.

Gratitude isn’t just a “feel-good” emotion. It’s a biological intervention.

In this week’s episode of the TRUE Wellness Podcast, Dr. Dee dives into the real science of gratitude.

Gratitude isn’t about pretending everything is perfect. It’s not toxic positivity or just mindset fluff. It’s a powerful tool that directly impacts your brain, hormones, inflammation levels, and even sleep.

If you think gratitude is a “nice idea,” but doesn’t do anything for your health, this episode will change your mind.

Gratitude is more than just words. It’s a game-changer for your physical well-being.

HIGHLIGHTS YOU’LL DISCOVER

1. The Science of Gratitude – Why gratitude is more than mindset — it’s physiology.

2. Gratitude & the Brain – How practicing gratitude rewires the brain for emotional regulation and resilience.

3. The Inflammation Connection – Why gratitude can lower inflammation markers and improve chronic health conditions.

🎙️ Your journey to true wellness starts now!

Are you waking up exhausted, inflamed, unfocused and wondering what the heck happened to your body?

Most women over 40 think they’re dealing with hormones, aging, or “just stress.”
But Dr. Dee reveals the truth: your body isn’t breaking — your communication systems are.

In this solo deep-dive, Dr. Dee dismantles the myths around midlife health and exposes the real root cause behind fatigue, weight gain, anxiety, inflammation, cravings, sleep disruption, and that haunting feeling of “I don’t feel like myself anymore.”

This episode uncovers the hidden collapse inside your biology, nervous system, and energy field — a breakdown that conventional doctors never test for and never explain.

You’ll understand why normal labs don’t mean a normal body… why diets stop working… why meditation and supplements aren’t enough… and why you’re NOT crazy for feeling the way you feel.

Dr. Dee takes you step-by-step into bioenergetic coherence — what it is, how it breaks, and how to rebuild it so your body stabilizes, your energy returns, and you finally feel like you again.

1. The real reason your labs come back “normal” while you feel awful.
Most testing measures the lightbulb… not the electrical wiring. Your symptoms aren’t random — they’re signals your system has gone incoherent.

2. Why midlife symptoms hit suddenly — and why it’s not hormones.
The crash begins years earlier through nervous system overload and bioenergetic collapse no one is measuring.

3. How your biology, energy, and nervous system must work together — or everything falls apart.
Fatigue, cravings, anxiety, weight gain, inflammation… all caused by miscommunication inside your body.

4. The predictable sequence behind midlife chaos.
Voltage drops → nervous system compensates → hormones misfire → biology collapses. Reverse the sequence and everything changes.

5. The 4-phase TRUE Wellness Framework that actually restores your health.
No hacks. No gimmicks. A step-by-step order that stabilizes your system and brings you back into coherence.
