Ever wonder why you crash in the afternoon or feel extra moody before your period? I used to blame it on being a mom and hormones, but after working with lots of clients, I found a common thread: blood sugar imbalance. Blood sugar isn’t just a diabetic thing, it affects everyone’s mood, PMS, and energy. In this episode, I share how blood sugar affects your hormones and what you can do about it. Spoiler: you don’t need a total life overhaul, sometimes it just takes one simple change. You...

We'll talk about what progesterone is, why it matters, and how to make more without giving into fads and wasting money on t...

I'm opening up about what it looks like to walk through ongoing stress, what it’s doing to my body and hormones, and how I’m learning to shift out ...
A question for all my amazing mamas out there: Are you ready for the fall routine? It's fine if you're still figuring it out!

Summer feels like this beautiful blur - slow mornings, late nights, kids everywhere, and routines flying out the window. Then suddenly, school is back, mornings feel like a sprint, and your hormones ar...
I know you’ve had the question - “How do I nourish my body well before a workout without making it complicated?” If you’ve been skipping food in the morning, dragging yourself through your workouts, and wondering why you’re so wiped out, I have a secret for you: taking a pre-workout powder is not going to fix everything.

I know you’ve scrolled through all of the hormone advice on social media and probably tried most of it - seed cycling, hormone supplements, and blue light glasses, but it’s NOT working. Your body is not broken. You're just stuck in a cycle of trendy fixes that never get to the root of the issue. Today, I’m sharing why I used to seed cycle and take all the hormone supplements, and why it never worked for me either. You’re not alone! You’ll learn: Why flax and pumpkin seeds aren’t the mi...
Why does it feel like no matter how much you do, it’s never enough, and you just keep getting more exhausted? You’re holding everything together: the kids, the house, the meals, the work.

You’re irritable, worn out, snapping at everyone, and the week before your period, it all feels even worse.

What if the mood swings, the exhaustion, the weight gain, the painful periods aren’t just about your hormones after all? You’re exhausted before the day even starts. You can’t lose weight no matter how hard you try. You’re freezing when everyone else is fine. Your hair is thinning, your periods are a mess, and no one seems to have any real answers, just more tests and “you’re fine.” I see you. And you’re not crazy. In this conversation, I sit down with thyroid expert and registered dietiti...

Many of us have been gaslit by doctors, by friends, even our own mothers, into believing that pain, fatigue, bloating, and mood swings are simply the price we pay for being a woman.
