From Survival to Sovereignty: Rewriting the Rules of Women’s Health with Priscilla Swahn | EP25

Author: Whitney McDuff June 12, 2025 Duration: 39:44

In this powerful and deeply personal episode of Speak Up, Stand Out, Change Lives, Whitney McDuff welcomes Priscilla Swahn, a clinical dietitian turned holistic hormone and metabolism strategist whose mission is to revolutionize the way women approach their health.

Priscilla opens up about her early struggles witnessing her mother’s battle with undiagnosed hormonal issues and diet culture. Diagnosed with a congenital heart defect herself, she was thrust into a world where her survival was linked to staying thin, a directive that sent her down a path of disordered eating. But instead of staying in survival mode, Priscilla chose sovereignty.

From hospital clinical work to becoming a transformative force in functional nutrition, Priscilla discusses why the current medical model often fails women and what she's doing about it. Tune in to hear how she helps women “crack the code” on weight loss resistance, fatigue, thyroid dysfunction, and so much more.
