The Resetter Podcast with Dr. Mindy

If you've ever felt like the self-care conversation has become just another "to-do list," this episode is going to change everything.
Dr. Melissa Sonners, author of The Connection Code, and a dear friend, walked me through the most practical, science-backed, and genuinely achievable approach to self-care I've ever encountered. Just two minutes, three times a day – and a completely new way of understanding what your brain actually needs.
We dig into the five brainwave gears we move through every day, why most of us are stuck in a high-beta state from the moment we wake up until we crash at night, and how to use simple, free tools to give your nervous system the reset it's been craving. 
If you've ever said "I don't know how to relax," this one is for you.

People with pre-diabetes are 2.7 times more likely to develop major depression. People with new bipolar disorder are 3.5 times more likely to have metabolic syndrome. If that stopped you in your tracks, good – it stopped me too. 
I brought Dr. Georgia Ede back to The Resetter Podcast to dig into her new expert consensus on ketogenic diets and mental health, and this conversation is one every woman needs to hear. 
Dr. Ede is a Harvard-trained psychiatrist and one of the world's leading experts in nutritional and metabolic psychiatry. What she laid out in this episode completely reframed how I think about brain health, brain energy, and what it actually means to feed your mind. 
We get into why the brain is a hybrid engine that runs best on a mixture of glucose and ketones and what happens when it runs on glucose alone. If you've ever wondered whether what you eat is affecting how you think, feel, and function – this one will give you the science and tools to find out.

What if the reason you don't trust yourself was engineered centuries ago — on purpose?
In this episode, Dr. Mindy Pelz sits down with feminist theologian and author Meggan Watterson to uncover the deliberate suppression of women's inner authority and what reclaiming it looks like right now.
Meggan draws on 30 years of scholarship — including the long-buried Gospel of Mary and the Acts of Paul and Thecla — to show that the most powerful women in early Christianity weren't lost to history by accident. They were erased because their message was too dangerous: that the greatest power doesn't come from institutions, hierarchies, or external permission. It comes from within.
In this conversation you'll learn:
Why women's self-doubt has roots in a 4th-century political decision

What the Gospel of Mary teaches about the "spiritual eye of the heart"

Why ending the war with your body is the first act of reclaiming your power

Why rage is sacred — and why feeling it fully is healing

What it means to "baptize yourself" in today's world

If you've ever felt unworthy, silenced, or too much — this episode is for you.

Have you ever blamed menopause for your inability to focus — only to wonder if something bigger is going on? I know I did. For years I thought brain fog was just about hormones, but this conversation cracked that wide open for me.
I sat down with Dr. Zelana Montminy, positive psychologist and author of Finding Focus, and what she shared genuinely stopped me in my tracks. Focus isn't a character flaw. It's a biological state. And most of us, especially women in midlife,  have been operating in chronic nervous system dysregulation for so long, we don't even know what regulated feels like anymore.
In this episode, we unpack why distraction is so often dysregulation in disguise, how the cultural expectation of multitasking has wrecked our brains, and why the "brain fog" you're experiencing might have less to do with estrogen and everything to do with decades of cognitive overload. We also talk about grief — the big kind and the micro kind — and how unprocessed loss quietly tanks our ability to show up and focus.
If you're a woman in midlife wondering why you can't seem to finish a thought, this one is for you.

Cancer rates are rising rapidly, especially among younger women. In this powerful conversation, Dr. Mindy sits down with integrative cancer expert Dr. Leigh Erin Connealy to explore what is driving this surge and what women need to understand about prevention.
Dr. Connealy shares her 40 years of clinical experience treating chronic illness and cancer. She explains why hormones are only one small piece of the health puzzle and why lifestyle, stress, toxins, sleep, and metabolic health play a much larger role in disease risk.
Together they break down the truth about hormone replacement therapy, GLP-1 weight loss drugs, peptides, and fasting. Most importantly, they explain how women can create an internal environment where their cells can thrive.
This episode will change how you think about health, prevention, and longevity.
