070 - From Exhausted to Empowered: The Root-Cause Reset Every Woman Needs

In this transformative episode of The Wellthy CEO, host Shae Invidiata is joined by Dr. Taylor Smeenk, CEO and Founder of Empact Wellness, to dive deep into the physical, emotional, and energetic toll of burnout—and how to heal from the inside out. Dr. Smeenk shares her personal journey from illness to empowerment, detailing how functional medicine, self-trust, and boundary-setting became essential parts of her healing and leadership path.

Together, they unpack the most common health challenges women face in their 30s and 40s, including hormonal imbalances, the overlooked role of parasites, and the underestimated power of proper hydration and protein intake. They also explore the intersection of mindset, money, and health—highlighting why understanding your finances is just as important as understanding your biology.

This conversation is a masterclass in reclaiming your energy, reframing success, and building a life—and business—that doesn’t cost your well-being.
