Why Hormone Testing May not be the First Step to Healing, Special Guest Dr. Taylor Smeenk

Is hormone testing the best place to start your healing? Dr. Taylor Smeenk says different, and here’s why.

In this powerful episode, I sit down with Dr. Taylor Smeenk, chiropractor, functional medicine practitioner, and founder of Empact Wellness. She’s not just a practitioner, she’s on a mission to shift how we approach healing, root causes, and long-term health. If you’ve been overwhelmed by labs, supplements, or inconsistent results… this conversation is going to give you clarity.

What we cover in this episode:

• Why starting with hormone tests can delay healing
• How to think about your symptoms through the lens of epigenetics
• Real-life applications of DNA testing for optimal health
• What “re-integration” means after symptoms subside
• Why long-term healing requires nervous system + identity support

Dr. Taylor also unpacks the nervous system’s role in lasting transformation—and how men and women alike can step into self-worth, presence, and long-term vitality.
