Women’s health is too often approached with a one-size-fits-all mindset, rather than a truly holistic method. The result? Ongoing frustration, unresolved symptoms, and a growing disconnection from the body. But what if healing could look different? We’re exploring a new path forward through holistic healing with the Holistically Well podcast.
What if women were empowered to truly understand their health and advocate for lasting change?
In the first episode of the Holistically Well podcast, Dr. Kayla Borchers—Doctor of Physical Therapy and founder of Holistically Well—shares her deeply personal journey that led her to create a root-cause, evidence-based model of care for women. Her story is one of curiosity and a refusal to settle for surface-level solutions.
From Personal Struggle to Purpose-Driven Practice
Dr. Kayla opens up about her own experiences navigating a medical system that often overlooks complexity in favor of quick fixes. Through her challenges, she realized the urgent need for a more comprehensive, proactive approach to women’s health—one that acknowledges how physical, emotional, and nutritional wellbeing are all deeply interconnected.
This realization became the foundation of Holistically Well—a community, a movement, and now, a podcast platform devoted to equipping women with the tools, education, and confidence to thrive in every phase of life.

Why Conventional Medicine Often Falls Short for Women
Throughout the episode, Dr. Kayla highlights the limitations of conventional healthcare, especially in areas like hormonal imbalance, pelvic floor dysfunction, and preconception care. Rather than treating symptoms in isolation, she emphasizes the power of integrative care that dives beneath the surface to identify root causes.
“Band-aid solutions can silence symptoms, but they rarely solve the problem. We deserve more than that—we deserve clarity, support, and sustainable answers.”
— Dr. Kayla Borchers
What Does Holistic, Functional Care Actually Look Like?
Dr. Kayla’s approach bridges the gap between functional medicine and evidence-based physical therapy, with a strong emphasis on:
- Hormonal health & cycle syncing
- Pelvic floor awareness and education
- Preconception and fertility wellness
- Functional fitness for women’s bodies
- Nutritional strategies for long-term health
- Emotional and mental health integration
Each element of her care model reflects a belief that healing is not linear—but it can be intentional. And with the right education and support, women can make empowered, informed decisions about their own bodies.
Empowering Women to Advocate for Their Health
One of the most powerful messages in this 19 minute episode is the reminder that you are your own best advocate. Dr. Kayla encourages listeners to ask deeper questions, seek second opinions, and stay curious about what wellness truly means to them.
She also shares her hopes for building a community-driven platform where women feel heard, seen, and supported—whether they’re preparing for pregnancy, recovering postpartum, managing stress, or learning to understand their cycles.
