Apply To Work With Me: bit.ly/fixmyhormonesnowbit.ly/fixmyhormonesnow Hey friend, Are you waking up exhausted, no matter how much sleep you get? Are you drooling on your keyboard by 3 PM, wondering if napping under your desk is less fireable than falling asleep during a Zoom? Or maybe you want to change your habits, but every attempt feels like a nonstarter. If this sounds familiar, you’re not alone. Studies show that 85% of women in midlife experience chronic fatigue, brain fog, and lack of motivation—leaving many of us to wonder: Is it just “aging”, or is something actually wrong? The problem isn’t your willpower, your workouts, or even what time you go to bed—it’s your hormones. That’s because in midlife, hormone shifts can send our brain into energy-conservation mode, draining motivation and making even simple lifestyle changes feel impossible. But here’s the good news: Once you understand what’s happening biologically, you can stop blaming yourself and start working withyour body to reclaim your energy. In this episode, you will learn: ✔ Why your lack of energy isn’t just a phase—and how midlife hormones actually work together to hijack your brain ✔ The impact of adrenal fatigue, insulin resistance, and thyroid function on our energy, mood, and mental drive ✔ Why willpower alone isn’t enough—and what your brain actually needs to get you moving ✔ How perimenopause and menopause trick your body into slowing down (and how to override the shutdown) If you find yourself asking: ❓ Why am I so exhausted even after a full night of sleep? ❓ Why do I feel completely unmotivated, even though I want to change? ❓ Is this just part of getting older, or is something actually wrong? Then this episode is for you! 🎧 — Next Steps: Do You Have A Hormonal Imbalance?

Apply to work with me: bit.ly/fixmyhormonesnow Hey friend, Ever stopped to ask yourself… "Why are my hormones suddenly so out of control?" Like, why could you eat whatever you wanted in your 20s or 30s, but now, just looking at a plate of pasta feels like an automatic five-pound weight gain? Or why has sleep become so elusive you’d have better luck finding a lost AirPod in your couch cushions? The truth is: hormone imbalance doesn’t just happen overnight (even if it feels like it.) Aging and shifting hormones play a big role, but there are deeper, underlying factors that help to tip the scales. Today, I’m diving into the six root causes of hormone imbalance in midlife. In this episode, you will learn: ✔ Why your hormones don’t just flip a switch overnight (and what part lifestyle plays in triggering hormone imbalance) ✔ How even one bad night of sleep can negatively impact your metabolism, blood sugar, and hormones ✔ Which sneaky ingredient in your personal care products mimics estrogen and can disrupt your entire endocrine system ✔ Why your go-to workout could be secretly spiking your cortisol, making hormone imbalances worse ✔ The connection between what you eat and how hormones function (Hint: it’s so much more than just eliminating sugar or gluten) ✔ How your gut’s “recycling” system might be putting excess hormones back into circulation in your body If you’re done playing whack-a-mole with your symptoms and want to understand the real root causes of hormone imbalance, this episode is for you. — Next Steps: Think You Might Have A Hormone Imbalance?

Apply to work with me: bit.ly/fixmyhormonesnow Hey friend, Did you know that 57% of ALL women ages 40-80 feel like we’re not having enough sex? Between relationship conflicts, boredom, stress, and the fact that our hormones are tanking faster than our willpower near a bread basket, it’s no wonder our idea of the perfect Valentine’s Day has morphed into eating dark chocolate alone in our sweatpants while watching crime documentaries! The truth is, perimenopause and menopause don’t just mess with our energy, weight, and mood—they can straight-up murder our libido. Low estrogen, tanking testosterone, and skyrocketing cortisol are a recipe for zero desire, vaginal dryness, and feeling about as sexy as a potato. But here’s the good news: you can absolutely get your sex drive back. In today’s episode, I’m diving into the Are You There, Midlife? Podcast vault to share one of my most popular episodes from a “Love & Hormones” series I hosted with my husband, Rick, back in May. In this episode, you will learn: ✅ How shifting hormones, aging, and the stage of your relationship impact your libido ✅ The 4 biggest myths about sex in perimenopause and menopause (including the one that shocked me the most!) ✅ The #1 desire killer in relationships and how to stop it from ruining your sex life ✅ Why waiting to ‘feel in the mood’ doesn’t work for most women—and what actually does. PLUS, four tips to naturally reignite your desire, boost arousal, and improve intimacy…just in time for Valentine’s Day. Rick and I also get very candid about our own ups and downs in the bedroom(no pun intended) over the past 26 years, including how we’ve navigated dry spells, body image struggles, and keeping things fresh after decades together. So if you’re dreading Valentine’s Day because the thought of getting naked sounds less appealing than doing laundry… this episode is for you. — Next Steps: Think You Might Have A Hormone Imbalance?

Apply to work with me: bit.ly/fixmyhormonesnow Hey friend, Are you overwhelmed when it comes to researching your perimenopause and menopause symptoms online? According to a study by 2024 study by Bonafide, 69% of women say everything they know about menopause they learned from first-hand research (which they resorted to after repeatedly getting dismissed by their doctor.) While the internet is full of valuable information, it’s also packed with misinformation, one-size-fits-all solutions, and advice that may not actually work for your unique hormone needs. So, in today’s episode, I’m breaking down the five things you need to know when researching your perimenopause and menopause symptoms. In this episode, you will learn: Why two women with the same symptoms may need completely different treatments. How some popular menopause supplements could be making your symptoms worse. Why trusting symptoms alone to diagnose a hormone imbalance can lead to the wrong solutions. How bio-individuality affects hormone balance solutions and why not all remedies work for all women. The major difference between traditional medicine vs. a holistic approach when it comes to balancing your hormones If you’re tired of DIY-ing your way through your hormone puzzle, piecing together random advice and not getting results, this episode is for you. — Next Steps: Think You Might Have A Hormone Imbalance?

Think You Might Have A Hormone Imbalance? Take My FREE Hormone Symptom Profile Assessment: https://bit.ly/takemyhormonequiz Hey friend, The holidays may be called “the most wonderful time of the year,” but between family drama, travel delays, and a to-do list longer than Santa’s naughty list, Christmas can also be a season of stress. Studies show the average person spends a whopping 13 hours prepping for Christmas Day! But after all that preparation, it takes less than just 13 seconds for stress to send our cortisol soaring. And that’s bad news for our hormones. In today’s episode, we’re wrapping up our “Holidays & Hormones” series and tackling 6 common holiday stressors, plus tools to help you stay calm, cool, and collected (without booking a solo trip to the Bahamas!) In this episode, we’re diving into how to deal with: Not getting support for holiday prep Running out of time to get everything done before guests arrive Seeing a difficult relative you haven’t seen in a while Burning the holiday meal Giving a gift to a picky family member Dealing with holiday traffic (or a delayed flight) If you’re one burnt pie or snarky comment away from having a complete hormonal meltdown, this episode is for you! — Next Steps: Think You Might Have A Hormone Imbalance?

Hey friend, Today, I’m talking about the #1-holiday gut issue affecting women in perimenopause and menopause and how to curb or prevent a flare-up. Yep, I’m talking about candida. I can’t tell you how many women reach out to me every January regarding another yeast infection they’ve tried everything to get rid of…but, like an unwanted family member at Thanksgiving…just keeps coming back! (🙋🏼♀️Been there; got the t-shirt!) That’s because the holidays are one of the most sugar- and stress-filled times of the year–and a veritable breeding ground for yeast. And although candida shows up most commonly in the form of a vaginal yeast infection, its “silent” symptoms can show up in our bodies in a lot of other ways including acid reflux, IBS, arthritis pain, sinus infections and allergies, anxiety, depression, uncontrollable cravings for sugar and refined carbohydrates–and, yes, even fatigue or rapid weight gain. Join me in Part 2 of my discussion on candida where I’ll unpack: 3 reasons why the holidays can lead to a candida outbreak The difference between regular sugar cravings and candida-induced sugar cravings Why candida could be the hidden cause of your fatigue or sudden weight gain Plus, I’ll share five candida diet tips for keeping yeast at bay this holiday season (including the biggest candida culprits in your kitchen!) If you want to know which cocktails are safe to ring in the New Year or the two sweeteners that won’t feed your candida when you’re craving sugar, this episode is for you! — Next Steps: Do You Have A Hormone Imbalance?

Hey friend, Are you dealing with sudden, out-of-control cravings for sugary, starchy, or carby foods? (like, more than normal?) …What about bloating, a skin rash, or even sinus issues that won’t go away (even though you’re doing everything to eat right and live a healthy lifestyle?) …Or maybe you’ve found yourself visiting the Monistat aisle at your favorite drugstore a bit more frequently lately, because, umm, something’s going on “down there” again? If you’ve been experiencing any or all of these symptoms, something called “candida overgrowth” could be to blame. And while there’s nothing quite like ANOTHER yeast infection to rain on your holiday parade, candida can also be a sign of an underlying hormonal imbalance. In this week’s episode, I’m going to share with you everything you wanted to know about candida (but maybe were afraid to ask), including why so many women experience candida more often in perimenopause and menopause. Join me in this episode where I’ll unpack: 5 different ways candida shows up in our bodies The “silent” symptoms of candida overgrowth to watch out for 6 causes of candida infection, including the relationship between candida and diet The connection between estrogen and candida Plus, I’ll share the problem with conventional candida treatment and the first thing you need to do to stop a recurring yeast infection.
