Push Pause To Heal
This podcast is for high-performing women who are tired of pushing through pain, stress, and chronic illness and ready to finally feel better. Hosted by Dr. Emily Roedersheimer, founder of Balanced Living Functional Medicine, this show explores a truth too often overlooked: many modern health challenges don't start with a diagnosis, they start in the nervous system. When traditional medicine isn't providing answers, it's time to pause, listen to your body, and heal at the root. Each week, Dr. Emily shares practical tools, insights, and nervous-system-based strategies to help you reduce anxiety, manage stress, and understand the powerful connection between your mind and your physical health.
