In this episode, I sit down with Hannah Lewis, a board-certified family nurse practitioner with a deep commitment to helping patients feel truly seen and supported throughout their wellness journey.

With experience in both conventional and integrative medicine, Hannah combines advanced diagnostics, lifestyle medicine, targeted supplementation, nutrition support, and personalized treatment strategies to help patients uncover the root causes behind chronic health concerns.

Her passion for functional medicine began while witnessing her grandmother’s cancer journey and her determination to advocate for alternative therapies that improved her quality of life and overall well-being. That experience inspired Hannah to explore a more holistic, root-cause approach to healthcare from pediatrics to adulthood at every step of the way. 

We chat about PCOS/POMS, perimenopause, and stress. We dive into what women are being told versus what may actually be happening beneath the surface — from painful periods and blood sugar imbalances to anxiety, brain fog, inflammation, and why so many women feel “off” despite doing all the “right” things.

We discuss the role of gut health, stress, insulin, thyroid health, hormone changes, helpful lab markers, lifestyle shifts, and practical ways women can begin supporting their bodies through every phase.

In this episode we cover:
• PCOS/POMS, insulin resistance & root causes
• Perimenopause symptoms and proactive support
• Stress, nervous system health & hormones
• Helpful lab markers to consider
• Hormone myths and wellness trends
• Actionable steps to begin supporting your health today
