Have you ever felt like every time you open Instagram or listen to a podcast, there’s another thing you’re supposed to buy or do to fix your hormones? A new supplement, a new routine, or a new "missing piece." It can get overwhelming fast! When you want to fix PMS mood swings, painful periods, and low energy, you don't need MORE, often you need less. That’s why I wanted to do something a little different in this episode. Instead of talking about more things to add, I’m sharing a few simple an...
Do you ever feel like you should have your hormones figured out by now, but something still isn’t clicking? As high-functioning women, we fall into this trap all the time. You pay attention to what you're eating, try different routines, and when results don’t come quickly, your instinct is to push harder. You tell yourself to try one more thing or be more disciplined, thinking it will finally work. But it doesn't. And it won't if you stay in this mindset. It's because hormones aren't th...
You know PMS symptoms show up for you most months, but do you know what your symptoms are telling you about your hormones? Today, I'm talking about 3 unique patterns that show up in the luteal phase and breaking down how the symptoms you're seeing each month relate to specific organ systems. In this episode: 1. Is your PMS caused by burnout, blood sugar dysregulation, or gut problems? 2. The common mistakes I see sold as "quick fixes" for each pattern. 3. How to ...
I’ll be honest, this episode felt a little different to record - a little exciting, and a little nerve-wracking. Because instead of focusing on the usual physical side of hormones, I’m going deeper into something we don’t talk about as often: the emotional and especially spiritual roots behind symptoms like PMS, hormone imbalance, and low libido. I talk a lot about food, minerals, gut health, and detox on this podcast. And those things matter. But sometimes the reason symptoms linger isn’t ju...
If taking a supplement was the magic fix for PMS, wouldn’t we all be feeling amazing by now, right? In this episode, I’m breaking down PMS in a straightforward way. Not every change before your period is a problem. Some shifts in mood, energy, or appetite are completely normal. But there’s also a point where PMS becomes your body’s way of saying something deeper is off. The real issue often isn't just your hormones. It’s all about looking at the bigger picture of what your brain and body are ...
Have you ever bought the one thing that was supposed to fix your hormones, and then realized you’re more overwhelmed than before? That’s where this episode starts. We’re wrapping up our Safety Series with an idea that might seem too simple to make a difference: simplifying. It’s not about adding another supplement or following the latest trends, but about stepping back so your body can feel safe again. Because when your brain is overloaded with information, fear, and constant “fix this” messa...
Do you notice that once a month your brain is VERY good at convincing you that your husband is the worst? Your nervous system is constantly scanning for safety, and if things feel tense with your spouse, your body stays stuck in a stress response that no amount of supplements can fix. Today, I’m talking with marriage coach Haley Teixeira about why emotional safety is the actual foundation for hormonal health. We’re diving into how our childhood wounds and patterns create a "protective" intern...
Ever feel like you need a second mortgage to afford the organic chicken and grass-fed beef your hormones are literally begging for? You are doing your absolute best to keep everyone fed, healthy, and happy, but it feels like your bank account is constantly at war with your hormones. I’ve been right where you are, until I realized I was missing a huge piece of the puzzle: safety around money. That’s why I brought on the Budget Besties, Vanessa and Shana, today. We’re having a girlfriend-...
Do you ever feel like you know what would help your hormones - eating consistently, resting more, getting minerals in - but there’s just no time to do any of it? In this episode of the Safety vs. Stress Series, I’m explaining how your relationship with time itself can either create safety in your body or keep your hormones stuck in stress mode. When your schedule is full, and your mind is constantly jumping ahead, your nervous system hears one message over and over: there’s no room to slow do...
Have you ever noticed how certain lighting instantly makes you feel edgy - like your eyes get tired, your head feels busy, and your patience disappears faster than usual? This episode wasn’t part of the original plan for the Safety Series, but it felt important enough to add. Because in this one, I’m talking about something we rarely connect to hormones, or PMS: the way your eyes take in light all day long. You might be surprised to learn how that small light bulb in your bedroom can actually...
Did you know that even if you’re still showing up, getting things done, and keeping everything together, you could still be stuck in burnout? Your body knows even if your mind doesn’t. Today, I spoke with my therapist + nervous system expert, Ash McDonald, about high-functioning burnout, the one we both see in women who care a lot and do a lot. Unlike traditional burnout, it's when your brain keeps pushing you to go, even when you're exhausted. And no amount of sleep or coffee fixes it. We di...
This episode continues a conversation we’ve been building about stress, safety, and why so many women feel like their hormones never quite settle. Today, I'll walk you through three specific signals your body needs to restore progesterone, stabilize your energy, and ease PMS symptoms. They aren’t trendy or complicated but simple and foundational, and often missing for women who’ve been pushing through for a long time. A few key points I’ll cover include: How not eating enough and lackin...
Today I’m starting a conversation I’ve been feeling pulled toward for a while now - stress, safety, and why so many of us feel stuck in hormone patterns even when we’re doing the right things. This is the first episode in what I’m calling the Safety vs. Stress Series, where we’re going to slow down and look at how our body responds to different types of stress, why it prioritizes survival over hormone balance, and how we can start creating more safety instead of just trying to fix symptoms. I...

If I had a secret weapon to help you have less PMS, better periods, and more energy in 2026 and I didn't tell you about it ASAP...what would I even be doing? Today I'm telling you what I've been doing lately that has helped me so much with getting back into some of the habits I've been slacking on that help my hormones every single time. It's actually so much more simple than we've been making it, and I can't wait to share this new tool with you! Here's a little video of how it wo...
This episode just picked up where we left off last time, and it grew out of a question we’ve been sitting with lately: what’s ACTUALLY shaping women’s health right now? Today, Heather and I talk through the health and hormone trends we see gaining momentum as we head into 2026. Some of them are things we’ve personally seen help women and we feel good about. Others made us stop and ask more questions before moving forward. And in a lot of cases, slowing down has felt like the wiser choic...
We’re back today with a reflection that we’ve been thinking about this week - what have we done in 2025 that really moved the needle for our health - mentally, spiritually, and physically? I brought my hormone bestie, Heather, on today so we could share some of the things that we are so glad we learned and implemented this year to keep us moving forward in health and life. Spoiler alert - nothing I’m sharing is a favorite supplement or “health hack”, they’re all more nuanced than that.&...
I'm a big podcast girl, so when Spotify Wrapped came out this year I thought it would be fun to share with you what my favorite podcasts are. My taste is a little all over the map + I share my Spotify with my kids so this one is extra fun. The truth is you really don't know a person until you hear what their favorite podcasts are. If you're listening on Spotify put yours in the comments! Send us a text with episode feedback or ideas! (We can't respond to texts unless you include contact i...
Have you seen the ads for parasite cleanses that fix EVERYTHING and thought...maybe I need to do that? Maybe you do, but it also can make things worse, not better if your body isn't ready! Let's talk today about when a parasite cleanse is the right option, what to know first, and how to decide if the one you're thinking about is actually the right next step for you or not. I'll help you sort through if you need lab testing & a personalized protocol or if your body might be stable en...
It's the end of the year (already!) and that means I'm auditing my life in general and deciding what I want to come with me into next year and what I want to change. Today I'm talking about how I'm simplifying my health and hormone health in a few ways - making BBT tracking easier so I'll actually do it again, and simplifying my supplements.

Thank you for yet another Excellent podcast. I'm looking forward to working with you soon. I'd like a podcast on how to eat to balance hormones. I've noticed a HUGE difference with the few changes I've made since doing your mini NYH course you'd offered. You are a Blessing ☺️
