What if the key to feeling balanced, energized, and truly well isn’t another supplement or detox program, but the tiny ecosystem living inside you? In this episode, Tee welcomes Dr. Mandy Patterson to explore the essential role of the microbiome in overall wellness. Dr. Mandy is a naturopathic doctor, certified holistic health coach, functional medicine practitioner, and fertility specialist committed to helping high-performing women and couples uncover the root causes of their hormone and fertility challenges.

From her roots in the cornfields of Indiana to becoming a mother of six, Dr. Mandy shares the pivotal experiences that led her to specialize in women’s hormone and fertility health. She explains how everyday choices like diet, product use, and environmental exposure can impact gut health and, in turn, influence hormone balance, immunity, and mood. Emphasizing preventive care and holistic approaches, Dr. Mandy offers practical guidance on improving wellness through whole foods, reducing toxin exposure, and intentional self-care. This episode is a powerful reminder of the importance of trusting your gut—literally and figuratively—and seeking care that addresses the whole person, not just the symptoms.
