When medicine doesn't feel made for you, it's time to write a new story. This week, Dr. Mallorie Cracroft joins Tori to explore what’s missing in women’s healthcare—and how we can reclaim it through functional and integrative medicine. Whether you’re tired of feeling dismissed by conventional doctors or curious about natural, root-cause care, this episode will meet you where you are. As a OB-GYN who left the traditional model to start a more holistic clinic, Dr. Cracroft shares personal and patient stories that illuminate the true potential of individualized care. You’ll learn why the gut-brain connection matters more than you think, how to manage perimenopause without fear, and why prioritizing your own wellness journey is the most powerful decision you can make. This episode is your reminder that “you get to choose what’s right for you.” Timestamps 00:00 Introduction to Women's Healthcare Challenges 01:50 The Vision Behind Uplift for Her 05:01 Transitioning from Conventional to Integrative Medicine 07:46 Understanding Functional and Integrative Medicine 10:50 The Gap in Healthcare: Cultural and Systemic Issues 14:00 Navigating Insurance and Patient Care 16:53 The Future of Women's Health and Empowerment 23:25 Taking Charge of Your Health 27:52 Budgeting for Wellness 28:53 Navigating Perimenopause 37:52 The Gut-Brain Connection 44:08 The Pressure of Being Strong Guest & Host Links Dr. Mallorie Cracroft| @upliftforher https://www.upliftforher.com/ Tori Poulter | @shala_hormonehealth https://www.shala.com/
