In this episode of Real Talk, we’re diving into one of the most important conversations in modern wellness: the real difference between integrative health and conventional medicine—and why it matters more than ever.

Most people don’t realize that these two systems are built on entirely different goals. Conventional medicine is designed to diagnose and treat disease, and it does that well—especially in acute or emergency situations. But what if you’re not in crisis mode? What if you’re exhausted, inflamed, moody, bloated, or just feeling “off”? That’s where integrative health steps in.

We break down why “normal” lab results don’t always mean optimal health, and how integrative providers look for patterns, trends, and subtle dysfunction long before disease shows up. You’ll hear how protocols, not just prescriptions, help get to the root cause of symptoms, and how this approach blends nutrition, supplements, lifestyle changes, and advanced testing to create real, sustainable results.

We’ll also talk about the mindset required to thrive in this model—because healing isn’t a quick fix. It’s a commitment to working with your body instead of masking what it’s trying to tell you. Whether you’re new to this or deep into your wellness journey, this episode will challenge how you think about healthcare—and what true health actually means.

Estrogen dominance is one of the most common—and misunderstood—hormonal imbalances affecting women and men today. In this episode, we break down exactly what estrogen dominance is, why it happens, and how it shows up in the body with symptoms like heavy periods, mood swings, breast tenderness, weight gain, and low libido. But it’s not just about “high estrogen”—it’s about the ratio between estrogen and progesterone, and how stress, toxins, and gut health all play a role.

We explore how estrogen dominance can develop naturally, during perimenopause or under chronic stress, and how it can also occur while on hormone replacement therapy (HRT) if detox pathways aren't supported. You’ll learn about the importance of functional lab testing—like DUTCH hormone panels, saliva testing, and blood labs—and how our integrative practice tailors supplement protocols and nutrition plans based on real data.

Whether you're dealing with estrogen symptoms, on HRT, or just looking to understand your hormones better, this episode delivers clear, practical strategies for restoring balance. We also share how clients at Mindful Objective can access testing, professional-grade supplements at 20% off retail, and 1-on-1 support to get results that last.
