What if the pain or illness you’re facing isn’t just physical — but emotional too?

In this episode, Elizabeth sits down with Sara Semenick, LMFT of Deeper Roots Counseling to explore Neuro Emotional Technique (NET) — a mind-body therapy that helps release emotional stress stored in the body.

They discuss how emotions can become “stuck” in specific organs, how trauma patterns create physical tension and disease, and how NET can help the body remember what safety feels like again. Sara shares incredible client stories — including one woman who used NET as part of her cancer-healing journey and is now cancer free and how PANDAS parents can use NET for emotional support on their care journey. 

Can emotions actually block fertility? In this episode, Elizabeth sits down with her dear friend Dr. English Goldsborough - a Naturopathic Doctor, Board Certified Holistic Nutritionist, and Integrative Somatic Trauma Therapy Practitioner - to explore how unprocessed emotions and chronic stress can quietly signal the body that it’s not safe to conceive.

Why does healing feel so much harder than it should? Why do symptoms flare on your best-behaved days? And why do people-pleasing, decision fatigue, and worrying about the future make you physically sicker?

Holiday food isn’t just about what’s on the plate — it’s about emotions, memories, and meaning.

Toxic relationships don’t just break hearts and stretch our souls - they break down the body.  They deplete nutrients, activate autoimmunity and ignite chronic infections like Epstein Barr and Shingles.  

In this episode, Elizabeth talks with Kristina, coach, speaker, and author of Rise Up and Thrive: How to Break Cycles of Toxic and Traumatic Relationships to Create Healthy Love.

The holidays can bring warmth and joy - but also pressure, guilt, and emotional overload.

They unpack how chronic stress around family, travel, and expectations can disrupt the nervous system, immune balance, and even children’s emotional regulation. Then, they share practical, compassionate ways to simplify, say no, and model emotional safety this season - with confidence! 

If you’ve ever left the holidays feeling drained, resentful, or overstimulated, this conversation will help you reimagine what “making it magical” really means - for your whole family’s well-being.

Can emotions really influence your immune system? In this first episode of our Emotions & Healing series, Elizabeth Mae explores how stress, fear, anger, and even unprocessed grief can directly impact the body’s ability to heal.

You’ll learn how emotional states communicate with your immune system, a quick introduction to the Chinese medicine body clock and how emotions relate to specific organs, and insights from Inna Segal’s The Secret Language of Your Body on the emotional roots behind common symptoms.

This episode is a grounding, hopeful reminder that emotions aren’t just “in your head” - they’re messages your body is trying to express and they are connected to the health of your organ systems. When we learn to listen, the body finally feels safe enough to heal.

In this episode, Taylor shares how functional testing, client root-cause work, and steady support helped transform their family’s health. From the first GI protocol to her daughter finishing immunotherapy, it’s an honest look at what’s possible when you heal together from a traditionally trained Mom.

When Taylor—a registered nurse—first came to Hey Hey Mae, she was dealing with years of gut struggles and unexpected mold exposure. But her journey quickly became a family one. After resolving her own GI health, she turned to help her young daughters through eczema, digestive issues, sensory sensitivities, and eventually PANDAS and chronic infections—all before age five.

In this episode, Taylor shares how functional testing, client root-cause work, and steady support helped transform their family’s health. From the first GI protocol to her daughter finishing immunotherapy, it’s an honest look at what’s possible when you heal together from a traditionally trained Mom.

When seizures began at age four, Mayci’s family spent a decade searching for answers—endless appointments, elimination diets, and a medication trial that only brought more questions. Nothing stopped the daily seizures.

In this episode, her mom shares how functional testing and our immunetherapy process uncovered underlying infections and gradually calmed Mayci’s nervous system. After completing a nine-month protocol for Lyme and co-infections, Mayci is seizure-free for the first time in ten years.

This is a story of persistence, faith, and the power of root-cause medicine—one that will encourage any family facing chronic, unexplained illness.

Sometimes the simplest step can change everything. In this episode, Megan shares how completing a single intake for three family members opened the door to healing for each of them. Her daughter’s hair grew back, her own hormonal struggles resolved, and her son’s PANDAS symptoms and recurring strep infections cleared completely.

This conversation is a beautiful reminder that when we look at root causes and the family system as a whole, real healing is possible—often in ways we never expected.  It’s not always lengthy and expensive testing, but the ear of skilled professionals working, listening to and working FOR their clients that brings healing. 

If you suspect mold in your home, the overwhelm can be real: Which tests matter? Who can you trust? How do you know if remediation was done right?

In this episode, I sit down with Indoor Environmental Professional (IEP) and ISEAI member Joseph Reiss to break it all down. We cover the practical first steps—like ERMI testing and when to bring in an inspector—what separates a solid inspection from a wasted one, and why HVAC systems are one of the most commonly missed mold sources. Joe also explains how to choose the right remediation team, what shortcuts to avoid, and why post-remediation clearance is essential.

Whether you’re just starting to wonder if your environment is making you sick, or you’ve been through failed remediation before, this episode will help you move from paralyzed and overwhelmed to clear and confident in your next steps.

When doctors told Winona Miller she had eosinophilic esophagitis (EOE) after a round with a prescription allergy support, the story could have ended there: a chronic, inflammatory disease of the esophagus managed with medications and restrictions. But Winona kept asking the deeper question — why was her immune system reacting in the first place?

Mold is sneaky—it doesn’t just grow in obvious damp spots. It hides behind walls, inside HVAC systems, under kitchen sinks, and even in your attic insulation. In this episode, we walk through the most common (and most overlooked) places mold can thrive, the varieties that are most toxic, and the questions you must ask when hiring an inspector. 

You’ll learn why not all “black mold” is the same, how the wrong inspection can miss the real problem, and practical steps to take if you suspect your home is making you sick. Your healing journey isn’t just about your body—it’s about the space you live in, too.

When it comes to your immune system, mold isn’t just a nuisance—it’s a triggering event that can set off a chain reaction of inflammation, gut dysfunction, and chronic illness.

In this episode, we explore how environmental mold—often invisible and underestimated—can keep the immune system stuck in overdrive. You’ll learn why mold exposure, especially in children’s early years, can distort immune balance (TH1/TH2), block detoxification, and create a perfect storm for other toxins like heavy metals, glyphosate, and bacteria to take hold.

Think you might have mold in your home? You’re not alone — but where you start makes all the difference. In this episode of Hey, You’re Gonna Be OK, Elizabeth sits down with a trusted indoor air professional from The IEP Group to unpack what really goes into a quality mold inspection and why it’s the foundation for successful remediation.

Mold: The Hidden Health Saboteur You Might Be Overlooking

Think mold is harmless because “it’s everywhere”? Think again.

In this episode, I break down the surprising—and often devastating—ways mold toxicity can show up in your health, even when others in your home “don’t seem to have a problem.” From homes and schools to favorite hobbies and everyday foods, mold exposure is far more common than most people realize—and in sensitive individuals, it can be the missing piece in a stubborn health puzzle.
