The Wellness Process

In today's episode, Elizabeth sits down with Ariana Medizade, a pharmacist and wellness educator, for a pharmacist's take on the wellness mistakes women are making. They get into what conventional medicine gets right and wrong, how Ariana navigated her own anxiety and hormone issues with both supplements and medication, and why "natural" doesn't always mean harmless. Ariana breaks down what cortisol actually does to the body, including the truth about cortisol belly and cortisol face, and shares her tips for better sleep, her viral basil seed drink, and her internal perfume recipe. They also talk about moving from rigid biohacking to "bioharmony," and Ariana shares the story behind her new cycle-syncing tea brand, Cinis.If you want to go DEEPER with me, my Substack is where I share even more behind-the-scenes, personal reflections, and wellness experiments, with new posts dropping every Thursday: https://substack.com/@thewellnessprocessFollow Ariana Medizade:Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/wellness.pharmTikTok: https://www.tiktok.com/@thewellnesspharmShop Cinis:Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/takecinis_Website: https://www.takecinis.comDiscount code for Wellness Process Pod listeners for CINIS website!Code is: WELLNESSPOD for $7 off their first tea box purchase! Applies to subscriptions and one-time purchases.Free shipping on all subscriptions every monthFree shipping for all one time purchases if you order 2 boxes or moreFollow us:Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/thewellnessprocesspodTikTok: https://www.tiktok.com/@thewellnessprocessYouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@TheWellnessProcessSponsors:Pique: Get 15% off at piquelife.com/wellness Caraway: Get an extra 10% off your next purchase at carawayhome.com/TWP10 or use code TWP10 at checkout.

In today's episode, Elizabeth sits down with Cory Allen, a meditation teacher and author, to talk about nervous system regulation and what it really takes to feel calm in a chaotic world. They get into his path from a difficult childhood into decades of meditation, the difference between judgment and empathy, and how to spot a regulated nervous system versus a dysregulated one.

In today's episode, Elizabeth sits down with Hilary Hoffman, founder and CEO of Soto Method, for part two of their conversation. They dive into what recovery actually looks like when the birth story does not go as planned, and what it means to come back to yourself on the other side.Hilary picks up right where she left off, sharing the physical and emotional weight of those early weeks in a way that is rare to hear. She is honest about the hard parts, the unexpected setbacks, and the moments that brought her to her lowest point.She also gets into the eight weeks of walking and breathing that formed the foundation of her recovery, the 30-day eating plan that helped her feel like herself again at month five, and how a passage from Andre Agassi's memoir gave her a new way to think about identity after everything her body had been through. This episode is not about getting your body back. It is about forming someone new.If you want to go DEEPER with me, my Substack is where I share even more behind-the-scenes, personal reflections, and wellness experiments, with new posts dropping every Thursday: https://substack.com/@thewellnessprocesspodFollow Hilary Hoffman:Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/hoffhil/?hl=enSoto Method: https://www.sotomethod.comFollow us:Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/thewellnessprocesspodTikTok: https://www.tiktok.com/@thewellnessprocessYouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@TheWellnessProcessSponsors:Visit https://newzealandhoneyco.com/ and use code wellness at checkout for 20% off your first purchaseTry Jolie risk free for 60 days by going to jolieskinco.com/TWPUse code WELLNESS for 15% off the Premium Starter Kit at branchbasics.comVisit sinacrisps.com and use code WELLNESS for 20% off your first order.Secure 10% off for life and begin your intentional wind-down journey today at piquelife.com/wellnessProduced by Dear MediaSee Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

In today's episode, Elizabeth sits down with Amy Chan, dating expert, founder of Breakup Boot Camp, and author of Unsingle: How to Date Smarter and Create Love That Lasts. They get into why so many smart, successful women are struggling to find lasting love, and what is actually getting in the way.Amy breaks down the patterns most people repeat without realizing it, from chasing emotionally unavailable partners to mistaking anxiety for attraction. She explains how our earliest relationships wire us to seek what feels familiar, even when it hurts us, and how that plays out in who we swipe on, who we fall for, and who we keep ending up with. They also get into the science of love chemicals, why the 18-month mark breaks so many couples apart, what it really takes to keep a relationship alive after the dopamine fades, and how to tell the difference between a green flag and someone who is simply very good at dating.This conversation is not about finding the perfect partner. It is about understanding the patterns you are running on autopilot so you can finally stop repeating them.If you want to go DEEPER with me, my Substack is where I share even more behind-the-scenes, personal reflections, and wellness experiments, with new posts dropping every Thursday: https://substack.com/@thewellnessprocessFollow Amy Chan:Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/missamychanWebsite + book resources: https://www.missamychan.com/unsingleBook: Unsingle: How to Date Smarter and Create Love That LastsFollow us:Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/thewellnessprocesspodTikTok: https://www.tiktok.com/@thewellnessprocessYouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@TheWellnessProcessSponsors:Visit drinkspindrift.com and use code wellness at checkout for 15% off your sitewide purchase.Visit carawayhome.com/TWP10 or use code TWP10 at checkout to take an additional 10% off your next purchase Join CrowdHealth to get started today for $99 a month for your first three months using code WELLNESS at joincrowdhealth.comUse code TW for an extra 30% off at blissy.com/TWUse code WELLNESS at monarch.com for 50% off your first year. Produced by Dear MediaSee Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

In today's episode, Elizabeth sits down with Luis Mojica, somatic practitioner and author of Food Therapy. Luis shares his personal journey from childhood dissociation and unprocessed trauma to discovering how deeply food shapes the nervous system. They unpack his framework of stimulants, depressants, and balancers, and explore how our most persistent eating habits are often the body's unconscious attempts to manage stress and avoid pain. This conversation reframes how we think about cravings, restriction, and bingeing entirely.If you want to go DEEPER with me, my Substack is where I share even more behind-the-scenes, personal reflections, and wellness experiments, with new posts dropping every Thursday: https://substack.com/@thewellnessprocessFollow Luis Mojica:Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/holistic.life.navigation/?hl=enFollow us:Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/thewellnessprocesspodTikTok: https://www.tiktok.com/@thewellnessprocessYouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@TheWellnessProcessSponsors:If you’re struggling with OCD or unrelenting intrusive thoughts, NOCD can help.

In today's episode, Elizabeth sits down with Melanie Masarin, founder of Ghia and author of the new cookbook Riviera. They get into Melanie's twenty year road to an endometriosis and PCOS diagnosis, the medical gaslighting she had to push through, and what it taught her about trusting her own body over the loudest voice in the room.The conversation moves into manifestation, why Melanie refused to settle in love or in work, and how she built a life and a brand from the same place of intention. They talk about working smart instead of grinding, protecting your energy from the pull of hustle culture, and what it actually looks like to live with care, taste, and presence. Because how you do anything really is how you do everything.If you want to go DEEPER with me, my Substack is where I share even more behind-the-scenes, personal reflections, and wellness experiments, with new posts dropping every Thursday: https://substack.com/@thewellnessprocessFollow Melanie Masarin:Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/melaniemasarinSubstack: https://melaniemasarin.substack.comGhia: https://www.drinkghia.comFollow us:Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/thewellnessprocesspodTikTok: https://www.tiktok.com/@thewellnessprocessYouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@TheWellnessProcessSponsors:Join CrowdHealth to get started today for $99 a month for your first three months using code WELLNESS at joincrowdhealth.comSecure 10% off for life and begin your intentional wind-down journey today at piquelife.com/wellnessVisit drinkspindrift.com and use code wellness at checkout for 15% off your sitewide purchase.Use code TW for an extra 30% off at blissy.com/TWUse code WELLNESS at monarch.com for half off your first year. If you’re struggling with OCD or unrelenting intrusive thoughts, NOCD can help.

In today's episode, Elizabeth sits down with Brittany Piper, somatic practitioner, sexual violence prevention advocate, and author of Body First Healing. They dive into what it really means to heal trauma through the body, not around it.Brittany opens up about her own story, from being born into foster care and losing her brother at 15, to surviving a sexual assault at 20 and the long, nonlinear road to healing that followed. She breaks down why talk therapy alone often isn't enough, how unprocessed stress hormones get trapped in the body and become chronic conditions, and what it actually looks like to start feeling safe in your own skin.They also get into the nervous system science behind manifestation, why your state creates your story, and how regulating yourself is the most powerful thing you can do for your kids. This conversation is not about getting over what happened to you. It is about learning to live with your pain and letting your body lead the way.If you want to go DEEPER with me, my Substack is where I share even more behind-the-scenes, personal reflections, and wellness experiments, with new posts dropping every Thursday: https://substack.com/@thewellnessprocessFollow Brittany Piper:Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/healwithbrittBody First Healing: https://www.bodyfirsthealing.comFollow us:Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/thewellnessprocesspodTikTok: https://www.tiktok.com/@thewellnessprocessYouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@TheWellnessProcessSee Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.
