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

Naturopath and homeopath Nadja Röthlisberger joins the podcast to empower parents with safe, effective home remedies for common childhood symptoms — while also helping them recognize when it's time to seek medical care. Based in Switzerland, Nadja has been running her practice for over 16 years, supporting families with holistic pediatric care. With a background in naturopathy and homeopathy, along with years of teaching pediatric health courses, she is passionate about helping parents feel confident caring for their children naturally. In this episode, Nadja shares practical tools for managing everyday childhood concerns at home, the importance of integrating natural and conventional care, and how to identify red flags that require professional attention. Key Takeaways: Safe and effective home remedies for common childhood symptoms How to confidently support your child's health at home When to seek medical care vs. manage naturally The role of integrative, holistic pediatric care Book Mentioned: By Sefora Cuoco, La Brújula de la Intuición: Descubre tus habilidades clarividentes y fortalece tu intuición. (Spanish Edition) About Nadja: Nadja Röthlisberger is a naturopath and homeopath from Switzerland. She lives with her husband and their two children — both now teenagers — on a farm and has been running her practice in the same village for the past 16 years. The village has about 4,000 inhabitants, which is considered relatively small by Swiss standards. Before studying naturopathy for six years and homeopathy for another two years, she completed an apprenticeship at a bank. She then worked in youth marketing and later in project management and marketing for an international medical technology company. There, she was part of a multicultural team where the company language was English. After ten years of teaching pediatric health courses—both online and offline—Nadja wrote a book that has sold more than 3,000 copies through self-publishing. Although she loves her profession, she sometimes misses the multilingual and intercultural environment. For this reason — and perhaps also because she is a little bit crazy—she decided to have part of her book on children's health translated into English. Nadja also hosts a podcast in Swiss German, writes regular blog articles, works as a lecturer, and runs a busy practice.

In this episode, I explore why so many couples are struggling with fertility today and why natural solutions are often overlooked. I speak with Mike Ye, founder of Project Life, whose work is rooted in his father's 40-year legacy as a traditional Chinese medicine fertility expert. I love this conversation because it reinforces what I share so often in my practice: fertility is never just about reproductive organs. It's a whole-body reflection of hormonal balance, stress levels, lifestyle, sleep patterns, and the environment we live in. Mike shares how natural formulations, personalized herbs, and a holistic approach can help both partners restore balance and improve fertility outcomes, even when previous IVF cycles haven't worked. We also discuss the importance of reducing stress, supporting the nervous system, improving sleep, building healthy habits, and involving both partners in the preconception journey. When we address the root cause, we set the stage for a healthier conception, pregnancy, and baby. Takeaways: Fertility is a whole-body issue, not a single system problem Both partners impact the health of the future baby Lifestyle changes amplify the benefits of natural formulations Safety, balance, and nervous system regulation matter deeply INFO ABOUT MIKE Mike Ye is the founder and CEO of Project Life, a modern fertility company rooted in Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM). After witnessing firsthand the limitations of conventional fertility treatments, Mike set out to make his father, Dr. Ye's, 40-year legacy in natural fertility care accessible to the world. Based on his formulations Mike launched Project Life—a personalized, science-backed herbal system that helps women and men restore balance, improve fertility, and conceive naturally.

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.
