In this second part of my conversation with Dr. Felice Gersh, we shift the focus to progesterone and what it really means for your health. You’ve probably heard that progesterone is only important if you have a uterus, or that it’s just about preventing uterine cancer, but that’s far from the whole story.

You’ll hear why oral progesterone, the most common form prescribed, may actually be doing more harm than good, how it creates unnaturally high levels of certain metabolites that can sedate the brain, and why this could even impact memory long-term. We also talk about safer and more effective ways to use progesterone that actually work with your body.

And if you’re in menopause, or even decades past it, you’ll discover why cycling hormones still matters and how it can support your brain, bones, immune system, and thyroid health. This conversation will challenge so much of what you’ve been told and open the door to thinking about hormones in a whole new way.

Dr. Gersh also shines a light on how misconceptions about hormones, especially progesterone, have shaped conventional medicine and why so many women are left without the support they truly need.

In this powerful episode, Inna is joined by transformational leader and inner child expert Anat Peri to explore an unexpected twist in the Hashimoto’s healing journey. Together, they dive into the case of Jessica, who was doing all the “right” things, following the AIP diet, taking supplements, working on her mindset, but still felt exhausted and stuck. Her symptoms weren’t improving, and her doctor’s solution was to increase her medication yet again.

The turning point came when she uncovered something deeper. Jessica was trying so hard to stay positive, think positive, do her affirmations because that is what she was told she should be doing. However by doing that, she was unintentionally overriding her true emotions and it made her feel way worse.

Anat explains how this kind of forced positivity can be a detriment because it can actually create stress in the nervous system, keeping the body in a chronic state of fight, flight, or freeze. This episode unpacks how overriding your feelings can actually worsen autoimmune symptoms and why true healing starts with emotional safety.

Anat also shares the science behind how the nervous system reacts faster than the conscious mind, how inner child work helps create safety, and why nervous system regulation must come before mindset work can truly be effective. From breathwork to sensation naming to reparenting tools, you’ll learn how to create space for your emotions and support your healing from the inside out.

This episode is an essential listen for anyone who has tried it all and still feels like something is missing. It might not be about doing more. It might be about feeling more.
