How Your Beliefs Become Symptoms with Dr. Corina Dunlap

What if the subtle shifts you’ve been noticing in your body aren’t “nothing”? In this episode, I’m joined by Dr. Corina Dunlap to explore pelvic health, perimenopause, vaginal health, hormone support, and the deeper patterns that can shape the way we care for ourselves.

Dr. Corina is a naturopathic doctor and women’s health specialist who supports women from fertility through menopause. Together, we talk about the often-overlooked healthcare gap for women in perimenopause, why you don’t need to wait for major symptoms or an irregular cycle to get curious about your hormones, and how personalized support can help you better understand your body through every changing season.

We also dive into the three health archetypes Dr. Corina sees in her work — the caretaker, the achiever, and the survivor — and how these patterns can influence our stress, nervous systems, gut health, behavior, and healing journeys.

Tune in on Apple or Spotify, or catch the video on YouTube.

Feeling the Pulse on

  • Dr. Corina’s journey from women’s empowerment work into naturopathic medicine and women’s health

  • How her own health challenges shaped her root-cause, holistic approach to healing

  • Why pelvic health, leaking, vaginal infections, and vaginal wellbeing deserve more open conversation

  • The perimenopause healthcare gap — especially for women who are not trying to conceive but know something in their bodies is changing

  • Why regular periods do not necessarily mean your hormones are unchanged

  • The importance of paying attention to subtle shifts in your cycle, mood, energy, sleep, and body

  • Comprehensive lab testing and understanding your unique hormone landscape

  • Brittney’s experience noticing subtle changes in her cycle after coming off hormonal birth control

  • The three health archetypes: the caretaker, the achiever, and the survivor

  • How the caretaker archetype can be connected to nervous system and HPA-axis support

  • How achievement, stress, and workaholic tendencies can impact health and healing

  • Why survivor patterns can be connected to feeling stuck, gut health, detoxification, and safety in the body

  • Dr. Corina’s own journey with adrenal burnout, thyroid health, gut disruption, achievement, and caretaking

  • The overlap between postpartum, perimenopause, motherhood, and self-care

  • Why postpartum women may benefit from checking micronutrients and understanding their hormone landscape

  • Why finding a provider who listens — and learning to trust your body — matters deeply
