POTS, Dysautonomia & Long COVID: The Syndrome Hidden Behind Brain Fog, Palpitations & Fatigue

Thu, 21 May 2026 13:00:00 -0000

POTS (Postural Orthostatic Tachycardia Syndrome) is one of the most underdiagnosed conditions affecting women today. It doesn't show up on standard tests, it mimics anxiety, and it's dismissed constantly. But it's real, it's systemic, and it's treatable. In this episode,

Dr. Tara Harding, DNP, FNP-c breaks down the four types of POTS, the diagnostic tools practitioners actually use, its connection to Long COVID and co-occurring conditions like MCAS and hypermobility, and the proven management strategies that get results.

Whether you're newly diagnosed or still searching for answers, this episode gives you the language and the framework to advocate for yourself.

This is the episode for the woman who was told she was fine and knew she wasn't.

The Vascular Cause of Pelvic Pain No One Is Talking About | Dr. Brooke Spencer, MD, FSIR

Wed, 06 May 2026 22:59:00 -0000

If you suffer from pelvic pain that no one can figure out and nothing has worked this episode might be the one that changes everything.

Today's guest is Dr. Brooke Spencer is a board-certified interventional radiologist, Fellowship of the Society of Interventional Radiology honoree, and the Medical Director and CEO of Minimally Invasive Procedure Specialists (MIPS) in Denver, Colorado. With over 7,000 venous interventions under her belt, Dr. Spencer has dedicated her career to uncovering the vascular causes of chronic pelvic pain causes that most providers, including well-trained ones, are simply not trained to see.

In this episode, we go deep on pelvic venous disorders, pelvic congestion syndrome, and why women continue to be misdiagnosed for years before anyone orders the right imaging, interpreted by the right person, for the right reasons.

In this episode, we cover:

What vascular causes of pelvic pain actually are and how common they are
The diagnoses women receive before someone finally looks at their veins
The symptom patterns that should make any provider stop and think "vascular", including pain that worsens with standing, after intercourse, or at certain points in the cycle
Why standard imaging so often misses the diagnosis and what should actually be ordered
Why who reads that imaging is just as important as which imaging is ordered
What minimally invasive procedures can resolve sometimes after years of failed treatment
And so much more!

Your UTIs Aren't Bad Luck — They're Hormonal

Sat, 02 May 2026 21:50:00 -0000

If you've been on antibiotics two, three, four times in the last year for recurrent UTIs and no one has ever asked about your hormone levels, this episode is the conversation you've been waiting for.

Dr. Tara Harding, DNP, FNP-C breaks down why recurrent UTIs are often a hormone problem, not a hygiene problem, and what the FDA's February 2026 removal of the black box warning from vaginal hormones means for every woman who was told these treatments were dangerous.

We cover the hormonal root of recurrent UTIs, why Genitourinary Syndrome (GSM and GSL) affects women in their 20s, 30s, and 40s not just those in menopause. The role of testosterone in women's urinary and sexual health, and why your birth control or acne medication may be the source of the problem you've been trying to solve for years.

You'll leave this episode with three specific questions to bring to your next provider appointment and a clearer picture of what optimal hormonal care actually looks like.

If you’ve been told your pain is “normal” or your labs look fine but you know something is wrong, this episode is for you.

Dr. Tara Harding, DNP, FNP-C breaks down the truth about endometriosis, why it takes 9–11 years to diagnose, and how it impacts your hormones, gut, brain, and fertility.

Doctors Told Me It Was Anxiety. It Was Hormones.

Tue, 10 Mar 2026 18:04:00 -0000

Have you been told your anxiety or depression is "all in your head" or strictly a psychiatric issue? You are not alone and you might have been misdiagnosed.

In this episode of Hopeful Hints, Dr. Tara Harding DNP, FNP-C reveals the hidden connection between your mental health and your hormones. We’re breaking down the 6 specific hormonal imbalances that silently mimic anxiety and depression, including hidden thyroid issues, estrogen dominance, and cortisol spikes.

Why Weight Loss Stops Working for Women After 30 (It's Not Calories)

Fri, 27 Feb 2026 14:00:00 -0000

If you’re eating less, working out more, and the scale still won’t budge, this episode is for you. Weight gain after 30 isn’t about willpower or “calories in, calories out.” It’s about hormones.

In this episode of Hopeful Hints, Dr. Tara Harding, DNP, FNP-C breaks down why traditional weight loss advice fails women in their 30s and 40s. She explains how estrogen decline, progesterone imbalance, insulin resistance, thyroid dysfunction, cortisol dysregulation, and muscle loss change your metabolism — and why eating less can actually make weight loss harder.

You’ll learn why intermittent fasting and intense cardio stop working, how chronic stress and under-eating slow your thyroid, and why insulin is the real driver behind stubborn belly fat. Dr. Tara shares a root-cause approach to women’s weight loss, including hormone optimization, strength training, metabolic testing, and sustainable strategies that support long-term fat loss without wrecking your body.

If you’re struggling with weight gain, perimenopause symptoms, belly fat, fatigue, or hormone imbalance, this episode will help you understand what’s really happening — and what actually works.

Your Labs Are Normal, But You're Not: What's Being Missed in Women's Healthcare

Fri, 13 Feb 2026 17:34:00 -0000

Your doctor says your labs are normal. But your body is telling a very different story.

In this powerful episode, Dr. Tara Harding DNP, FNP-C exposes the hidden gap between “normal” lab ranges and optimal health and why thousands of women are left suffering despite being told nothing is wrong.

If you are experiencing fatigue, anxiety, brain fog, weight gain, hair loss, sleep disruption, PMS, infertility, or mood changes… this conversation is one you cannot afford to miss.

Most providers are trained to detect disease. Dr. Tara is teaching you how to recognize dysfunction before it becomes one.

This episode is both validating and empowering especially for high-achieving women who know something is off but have struggled to be heard.

Monique is an entrepreneur, wife, and mom. She was diagnosed with infertility in 2012, at the age of 29 years old, and married for two years. The HSG test at the time showed a blocked tube.

Four years went by before Monique sought the help of a reproductive endocrinologist again. In the spring of 2016, she found a new REI and further testing discovered there was no blocked tube anymore. Ultrasounds showed uterine polyps and blood tests revealed low thyroid levels. Monique became pregnant after her second egg retrieval late summer of 2016.

Mollie Walker from Tennessee Fertility Advocates Shares 3 Hopeful Hints

Wed, 17 Mar 2021 02:02:00 -0000

Mollie is the co-founder of Tennessee Fertility Advocates. She is an alumni of the University of Memphis and serves as the Collierville City Executive at Landmark Community Bank. Mollie is an active member of Harvest Church, the Collierville Chamber, Collierville Rotary and the Generosity Network. She and her husband Taylor are proud parents of two beautiful children; however, the road to growing their family wasn’t easy. After years of trying to conceive, no insurance coverage for infertility and two miscarriages, Mollie felt overwhelmed, lonely and hopeless at times. Now, she advocates passionately for the disease of infertility to be covered by insurance in the state of Tennessee, removing the financial barrier of fertility treatment and providing couples with access to the treatment they need to have children.

Hi, I’m Tara! My story of miscarriage, IUI, IVF, Traumatic Pregnancy, Non-Profit Founder, and Fertility Coach

Tue, 16 Mar 2021 20:37:00 -0000

Hi, I'm Tara Brandner and this is my infertility story! In this episode you will hear about my journey through miscarriage, IUI, IVF, failed transfer, embryo loss, and a helicopter ride that started a traumatic pregnancy journey.

After enduring a long road through infertility followed by a traumatic pregnancy, I turned my hurt into hope for others by forming only infertility nonprofit in ND and SD. I am a passionate advocate and have initiated grassroots efforts to mandate insurance coverage for infertility care and fertility preservation to the North Dakota State Legislation during the last two sessions. I have combined my experience as a healthcare professional and personal struggle with infertility to help navigate infertility couples through their family building path with my coaching business.
