Have you ever left a health appointment feeling so motivated, only to lose that momentum a day or two later? You’re not alone. One thing I’ve heard time and time again from patients is, “I just wish I could take you home.” That sentiment has inspired so much of what we’re building—and I’m thrilled to share what’s coming to Advanced Women’s Health in 2026.

This episode is a deep dive into the evolution of care that’s not just about appointments, but about experience. We’re talking about real support, real tools, and real transformation—from the moment you walk through our doors, to every step you take afterwards.

We’re creating the kind of care I’ve always dreamed of offering. It's structured, it’s motivating, and most importantly—it’s doable for real women with real lives.

In this episode, you’ll learn:

• Why one appointment alone isn’t enough to create real change
• How we’re building an immersive onboarding experience to support you from Day 1
• What our new audio-based daily coaching system looks like (and how it works!)
• The five customizable meal systems you can choose from
• How we’re integrating movement, mindset, nutrition, and motivation into one seamless experience
• Why healthcare should be an experience, not a one-off visit
• What makes 2026 different—and how it could change everything for your health journey

This episode is for you if:

• You’re tired of feeling overwhelmed by conflicting health advice
• You’ve ever left an appointment thinking, “Now what?”
• You want ongoing support and motivation but don’t know where to find it
• You love the idea of a more accessible, personalized, and whole-person approach to wellness
• You’re ready to feel capable, empowered, and excited about your health again

Let’s make 2026 your most empowered year yet. Tune in and see what we’ve been building just for you.

When it feels like your body just won’t calm down—when you’re anxious, wired, or constantly on edge—it’s often your nervous system trying to protect you. In this episode, we explore how stress, trauma, and even everyday overwhelm can get stuck in the body, and what it really takes to shift into a state of true healing.

In this episode, you’ll learn:

• What the nervous system actually is and how it affects your health.

• The difference between “fight or flight” and “rest and digest”—and why balancing the two matters.

• How trauma, stress, and even poor sleep or nutrition can keep your body in a stress state without you knowing it.

• Why motivation often comes after action, not before it.

• Practical tools you can use right away to reset your nervous system and start feeling better.

  
  

This episode is for you if:

• You feel stuck in survival mode but can’t figure out why.

• You’ve been told to “just relax” but it never works.

• You’re curious about craniosacral therapy or how massage therapy can support emotional and physical healing.

• You want to know how your breath, blood sugar, sleep, and even technology use are impacting your stress levels.

• You’re ready to make small, supportive changes that create long-lasting resilience.

In this deep and heartfelt conversation, Dr. Andrea Whelan is joined by Registered Massage Therapist and craniosacral therapist Lisa Lopez. Together, they unpack what it means to truly heal—not just physically, but mentally and emotionally. You’ll hear real talk about trauma, parenting, burnout, daily stress, and how simple changes can begin to shift your body back into a healing state.

This is not about doing everything perfectly. It’s about understanding your body better, and gently giving it what it needs to feel safe, grounded, and supported again.

Hi everyone, it’s Dr. Sarah. In today’s “Inside Clinical Rounds,” I’ve passed the mic to our incredible team at Advanced Women’s Health. Dr. Alessandra leads this episode and is joined by Dr. Liz and Dr. Bianca for a deep dive into real clinical cases we’ve seen in the clinic.

These conversations are an inside look at how our practitioners think, how we work together, and how we approach complex women’s health cases through a truly integrative lens. We’re pulling back the curtain to show you what happens behind the scenes — and why individualized care matters so much.

From tricky digestion symptoms and bile acid diarrhea to the stress-inflammation connection and unexpected endometriosis presentations, this episode is packed with insight. Whether you’re a fellow practitioner or someone navigating these issues yourself, there’s something here for you.

In this episode, you’ll learn:

• How stress and nervous system dysregulation can show up as persistent digestive issues
• What bile acid diarrhea is, and why it’s often missed
• The role of inflammation in gut health and hormone balance
• How we identify and treat endotoxemia (a fancy word for toxins from the gut entering the bloodstream)
• What we look for in possible endometriosis cases beyond just period pain
• Why individualized testing and treatment plans make all the difference

This episode is for you if:
