39. Face Your Shit, Heal Yourself on Unbridled Thoughts | Health in the 2026 Fire Horse Year

In this crossover episode, I join Sarah & Ren of @UnbridledThoughtsPodcast for a raw, wide-ranging conversation about how I healed myself after years of endometriosis pain, what Western medicine misses about women’s health, and why learning your body changes everything.

We talk about the gaps in conventional medicine, the power of the infradian rhythm, how to start tracking your cycle, why seed oils and toxins matter, what pelvic floor therapy can do, and how art became part of my healing. If you’re interested in endometriosis, PCOS, PMDD, fertility, leaky gut, holistic healing, hormone balance, nutrition, women’s health, or questioning the stories you’ve been told about your body — this episode is for you.

About the Podcast

Tired of being dismissed or told your pain is “normal”? So was I.

I’m Meredith Ochoa—ANOTHER F#%ING ARTIST, photographer, author & generational cycle‑breaker. After 17 years of endometriosis I faced my shit, healed myself, and turned the journey into art.

🩸 Face Your Shit, Heal Yourself is a movement + a podcast: Raw talks on healing chronic pain, hormones, trauma, endo, autoimmune disease and more.

We expose medical myths and spotlight the tools Western medicine buries—functional medicine, Reiki, Ayurveda, Taoist & sacred‑sexuality practices, cycle syncing, biohacking, and beyond. Episodes drop every third Wednesday with mini art‑process drops in between.

Authenticity is the first dose of medicine; art is the second. Even though I was lied to by big‑pharma‑loving doctors; I found the experts & practices who helped me achieve what I thought was impossible—this show introduces them to you.
