Welcome to another energizing episode of the Nutrition and Life podcast! In today’s conversation, host Lisa Franz is joined by Stephanie Singh, a holistic nutritionist, certified menstrual health coach, and the founder of The Aligned Woman. With her personal journey through suspected endometriosis, frustrating medical roadblocks, and ultimately discovering a small fibroid, Stephanie Singh brings a refreshingly practical and compassionate perspective to menstrual health.
Stephanie Singh dives deep into what fibroids really are (spoiler: they are benign and NOT cancer!), why so many women’s health concerns get overlooked in mainstream medicine, and how true healing means moving far beyond simply “managing” symptoms. Together, Lisa Franz and Stephanie Singh break down the importance of functional testing, liver support, root-cause nutrition, emotional wellness, and the subtle mineral imbalances that so often go ignored.
Expect actionable strategies for identifying and addressing the root of heavy periods, restoring mineral balance, supporting your liver, building sustainable habits, and why emotional work is just as essential as diet and exercise. If you’re tired of quick fixes and want a truly holistic roadmap—plus real talk and encouragement—this episode is a must-listen!
