🎙️Ep 66 Perimenopause, Gut Health & Weight Release After 40 with Stacey Bean | Encore Episode

After decades in allopathic medicine, Stacey Bean realized something was missing. Her own struggles with perimenopause, grief, and stubborn health challenges led her to functional medicine, gestalt coaching, and a whole new way of helping people heal.

In this encore conversation, Stacey and I talk about her pivot from the ER to integrative wellness, the healing power of horses, gut health, hormones, and why true transformation goes way beyond “eat less, move more.”

🕒 In this episode:
[08:45] – Stacey’s path from emergency medicine to functional wellness
[12:30] – The tragic med-flight crash that changed everything
[14:30] – Gestalt work with horses and why it heals on a cellular level
[25:15] – Her personal story of reversing prediabetes and releasing 35 pounds
[41:05] – Gut health, perimenopause, and hormone balance tips

Guest Bio:
Stacey holds an M.D. from the University of Vermont College of Medicine, a Master’s degree in Exercise Physiology from UC Berkeley, and multiple certifications in Women’s Hormone and Gut Health from the Institute of Integrative Nutrition. After over a decade in western medicine and more than 30 years in the health and wellness industry, she realized something was missing. Stacey’s personal journey through perimenopause—marked by brain fog, fatigue, stubborn weight gain, and feeling unwell despite “normal” labs—pushed her to explore a different approach. That’s when everything changed.

Stacey expanded her knowledge and became certified in Functional Medicine, Gestalt Coaching, and other root-cause healing methods. These tools, combined with her integrative approach, helped her heal at the root level—and she’s passionate about helping others do the same. Whether they’re navigating menopause, struggling with metabolic health, gut health, or simply looking to reclaim their vitality, Stacey combines root-cause healing, nutrition, fitness, and mindset work with a touch of Gestalt principles to create a unique path to wellness through her practice, Indigo & Sage Functional Wellness.

Stacey believes the human body has an incredible ability to heal, and her mission is to help her clients unlock that potential by uncovering what ISN'T working in their lives, and discover and take hold of what IS. Her goal is to educate and empower her clients to take charge of their health and embrace the vibrant, fulfilling life they deserve. Stacey knows this is possible because she’s seen it happen—not just in her own life but in the lives of hundreds of clients she’s been privileged to work with.
