Description

In this week’s episode of Hormone Happy Hour, I’m answering a common question that so many of you have probably wondered: “How do I know how much I should be eating?”


I share what I call your “metabolic bank account” (and why trying to withdraw before you’ve deposited enough always backfires), plus how a hair mineral test can help you identify what your body’s truly asking for right now.


✨ Here’s what we cover in this episode:



  • Understanding the season your body is in and what it needs to thrive

  • How to eat differently for fertility, postpartum, and hormone support

  • Why “less” isn’t always better when it comes to food or exercise

  • How to build your metabolic bank account before focusing on fat loss or muscle gain

  • The role of minerals in supporting metabolism and energy

  • Encouraging client stories of hormone balance, pregnancy, and restoration
