Untamed & Unfiltered Wellness
If your stress, sleep, or hormones have shifted and nothing you used to do is working anymore, this is where we get honest about why and what to do next. We deal in real solutions here.
Untamed and Unfiltered Wellness is a podcast for women noticing changes in energy, sleep patterns, mood, recovery, or stress tolerance and wanting to understand what the body is communicating.
Each week, we break down:
- Stress and nervous system regulation
- Sleep changes and sleep support that actually works
- Cortisol, blood sugar, and hydration patterns
- Perimenopause and hormone transitions
- Herbal strategies for a steadier baseline
This isn’t surface-level wellness. Real bodies. Real responsibilities. Real stress loads.
You’ll leave each episode with something you can actually use...practical guidance and realistic shifts that help your body feel more predictable, supported and steady.
Hosted by Jo Swensson, Herbalist and Holistic Lifestyle Health Coach.

How Hormones Hijack Your Nervous System (And What to Do About It)
Feeling anxious, wired, or like your stress response has a hair trigger lately? It’s not just “getting older,” it’s your nervous system reacting to hormonal shifts during midlife.
In this episode, I break down how declining estrogen impacts your brain chemistry, specifically serotonin, dopamine, and GABA and why that leaves you feeling foggy, restless, and emotionally unpredictable. Spoiler: your body isn’t overreacting. It’s adapting.
You’ll learn exactly how your hormones and nervous system are connected (with zero BS), what vagus nerve tone really means, and two easy somatic tools you can start using today to support your body’s reset.
Because midlife isn’t a breakdown, it’s a recalibration. Let’s get you grounded again.
✨ Say it with me: I’m not stuck. My nervous system is adaptable.
