You’re not just tired — you’re exhausted. You love your life, your family, your work, but lately, you can’t keep up. You lie down to rest but don’t bounce back. You sleep, but never feel restored. You’ve tried yoga, meditation, more coffee, less coffee… and yet, nothing really works.

Let’s talk about adrenal dysfunction — more specifically, low cortisol and how it mimics, and masks so many of your symptoms.

If you have low cortisol, your body isn’t just tired — it’s depleted. You may:

• Need rest to even function — but rest doesn’t revive you
• Feel emotionally flat or unmotivated
• Lose interest in intimacy (even with a loving partner)
• Struggle with dizziness, especially after standing
• Feel overwhelmed by even simple tasks

So what’s the solution? You need real clarity.

That’s where the DUTCH Test comes in — my favorite functional hormone test that gives a full picture of your adrenal health (not just a snapshot). Unlike a blood or saliva test that tells you what’s happening right now, the Dutch Test shows how your body is actually using cortisol over time. Think: zoomed-out, root-cause clarity.

It's not about slapping on more stress management hacks or trying harder. Healing is about having the right map to follow.

If you’re tired of guessing, tired of being told “everything looks normal,” tired of feeling like you’ve tried everything… please stop waiting.

Let’s get your answers.

You’ve been told, “Your labs look normal.” But you’re dragging through your days, snapping over nothing, wide awake at 2 a.m., and feeling like a stranger in your own body. So what's this really about?

“Normal” isn’t the whole story. Most standard lab tests are designed to rule out disease. They’re not built to uncover the root cause of fatigue, hormone imbalances, anxiety, stubborn weight, or burnout. That’s why so many women are left thinking: “Something’s wrong, but no one can find it.”

It’s not you. It’s your labs. Standard blood work often misses: cortisol rhythm disruptions (aka adrenal fatigue), estrogen dominance or sluggish hormone detox, testosterone imbalance and low libido, and how your body is actually handling stress. That’s why we use the DUTCH Test.

The DUTCH (Dried Urine Test for Comprehensive Hormones) looks deeper. It gives you a full-day cortisol rhythm (not just a one-time blood snapshot), a breakdown of sex hormone pathways—not just totals—and insight into why your body is out of balance and what to do about it.

Tired of being told “You’re fine” when you feel awful? The DUTCH Test has changed the game for hundreds of women—giving them answers, validation, and a real path forward.

If you're maintaining a healthy lifestyle—regular exercise, balanced nutrition, minimal alcohol—and still experiencing fatigue, weight fluctuations, digestive issues, and hormonal symptoms, you're not alone.

This was Jenny's experience. After two years of persistent health challenges, she came to us as a last resort. She had already spent thousands of dollars on care that didn’t produce results. No comprehensive testing. No targeted interventions. Just more supplements and generic advice.

Her case wasn’t unusual. What made the difference was data.

Through our 1:1 program, Jenny completed a full panel of functional assessments, including:

• Hormone & adrenal testing (DUTCH test)
• Comprehensive gut analysis
• Nutrient and inflammatory markers
• Genetic testing to understand her body’s metabolic and detox pathways

The findings confirmed several core issues:

• Severely diminished cortisol output
• Estrogen dominance with low progesterone production
• Leaky gut and poor gut microbiota diversity
• Methylation and detoxification gene variants contributing to poor recovery and persistent inflammation

Once we had this information, we developed a structured plan with targeted interventions to support endocrine function, rebuild gut integrity, and address her specific genetic vulnerabilities.

Within weeks, she began to notice improvements: more stable energy, clearer cognition, better sleep, and less bloating. While she’s still progressing through the program, the results so far validate a simple principle: symptoms require investigation—not assumption.

If you’ve been told “everything looks normal” but still don’t feel well, you may benefit from the same thorough, data-driven approach.

We’ll guide you through the appropriate testing and design a care plan tailored to your system—because you deserve clarity and direction, not more guesswork.

Let’s talk about something that gets tossed around a lot in the world of women’s health — MTHFR. You might have heard it mentioned in conversations about fatigue, fertility struggles, anxiety, or detox issues… but what is it really? And how do you know if it’s affecting you?

Let’s break it down together.

👉 So, What is MTHFR? MTHFR stands for methylenetetrahydrofolate reductase (say that three times fast). It’s an enzyme your body uses to process folate (vitamin B9) and regulate something called homocysteine, an amino acid linked to heart health.

But here’s where it gets even more important: This enzyme plays a key role in a process called methylation — which affects how your body:

• Makes new cells
• Detoxifies
• Repairs DNA
• Balances hormones
• Produces neurotransmitters like serotonin and dopamine
• Regulates your immune system …and so much more.

In short: it’s a big deal.

Do I Have It? How Can I Tell? You might suspect you have an MTHFR gene variant if you experience things like:

• Chronic fatigue
• Brain fog
• Anxiety or depression
• Poor detox (you get super sensitive to wine, meds, caffeine)
• Hormone imbalances
• Fertility issues
• A history of miscarriages
• Trouble bouncing back from stress

Sound familiar? You’re not alone.

There are two main variants:

• C677T — about 10–15% of the population has this one
• A1298C — much more common at 30–50%

You can be heterozygous (one copy) or homozygous (two copies, one from each parent), which increases the likelihood that methylation isn’t working optimally for you.

Should I Get Tested? Yes — but here’s the thing: MTHFR is only one piece of the puzzle. There are multiple other genetic variants that affect methylation and detox pathways too — like COMT, MTR, MTRR, PEMT, CBS, TCN2 and more.

That’s why when I work with women 1:1, I always include a full genetic panel. It saves you time, energy, and frustration trying to guess what’s going on in your body.

Because when you see your unique genetic makeup, you can finally: ✅ Understand why you feel the way you do ✅ Stop wasting time on random supplements or protocols that don’t work for you ✅ Create a clear, targeted plan that matches your biology

👉 Can I Improve It With Lifestyle? Yes — and this is where epigenetics comes in. Your genes are the cards you’re dealt, but how you play them matters.

• Prioritize restorative sleep
• Manage your stress
• Support detox pathways (hello, hydration and leafy greens)
• Take targeted supplements (not just random B vitamins!)
• Move your body in a way that feels good for you

And most importantly — know what you're working with.

If you’ve been chasing symptoms, switching supplements, and still feeling stuck — it’s time to stop guessing.

In my VIP 1:1 coaching program, we dive deep with: ✅ Full genetic testing, DUTCH testing, food sensitivity testing, cortisol testing, ✅ Hormone and gut health labs ✅ Custom supplement protocols ✅ Personalized nutrition and lifestyle coaching focused around the root cause ✅ Weekly support calls + direct access to me

Because you deserve a clear, science-backed plan built around your body. This program is my most in-depth, robust and hands on.

I need to tell you about Brenda.

When she first came to me, she was done. Exhausted, burned out, frustrated. She felt like she was living in a body she didn’t recognize anymore — and no matter how “healthy” she tried to be, nothing was working.

✔️ Her hair was thinning. ✔️ Her weight was climbing. ✔️ She couldn’t sleep. ✔️ Her energy was nonexistent. ✔️ Her cycles were all over the place.

And she kept thinking, “Maybe it’s just stress… maybe it’ll pass.”

But it didn’t.

What Brenda didn’t realize was that years of unaddressed hormone shifts — from birth control to motherhood to relentless career demands to a devastating divorce — had sent her system into survival mode. Her cortisol was sky-high, her estrogen detox pathways were struggling, and her body was holding on to everything because it didn’t feel safe.

Here’s what changed everything for her: We tested first.

Not at the end of the program. Not as an afterthought. Right up front.

We used a DUTCH hormone test to see exactly what was happening inside her body — what her cortisol patterns looked like, how she was metabolizing estrogen, and whether her body was trying to keep up or completely tapped out.

Then we built a customized plan specifically for her body. No cookie-cutter protocols, no generic advice.

✅ Nutrition tailored to her cycle. ✅ Targeted, effective supplements. ✅ Stress management strategies for real life. ✅ And ongoing testing to track real, measurable progress.

And today? Brenda is thriving.

✔️ Her energy is back. ✔️ Her cycles are regular. ✔️ She’s sleeping through the night. ✔️ The stubborn weight has started to release. ✔️ And, most importantly, she feels like herself again.

I share Brenda’s story because I know so many women are walking around right now in burnout mode, thinking this is just how it is.

It doesn’t have to be.

👉 The 6-Month Female Hormone Solution is now OPEN.

This is the exact program Brenda used to turn everything around — and I only open it once a year.

It includes: ✨ Multiple DUTCH hormone tests ✨ 1:1 strategy calls and in-depth lab reviews ✨ Customized protocols for nutrition, exercise, and supplements ✨ Ongoing support from me and my team ✨ A private, empowering community of women walking this journey with you

If you’re tired of guessing, tired of DIY-ing your health, and ready to take back control — this is your time.

Being exhausted every day is not normal.

Not the “I need a little nap” kind of tired. I’m talking about the kind of exhaustion where:

• You can’t do the grocery store + make dinner in the same day.
• Folding a load of laundry feels like climbing a mountain.
• You cancel plans (again) because you just can’t.

And when you bring it up? You get told: “Maybe you’re just stressed.” “It's just getting older” "That's just part of being a woman.

No. You are not crazy for feeling this way. And you deserve answers.

Your energy levels are the result of so many pieces working together behind the scenes. When even one gets thrown off, your whole system feels it.

Here’s what I always recommend looking at when women tell me they’re this tired:

Dutch Test — my favorite starting point. It gives a deep dive into your:

• Cortisol levels throughout the day (a huge player in energy)
• Estrogen, progesterone & androgens (hello stamina + muscle strength)
• B vitamin markers & nutrient levels
• Methylation process (how your body actually uses what you give it)

Iron Levels — one of the most common deficiencies in women, especially if you’ve been told “your labs look fine” but you still feel awful.

Thyroid Panel — because a “normal” result doesn’t mean optimal, and your thyroid is everything for your metabolism, mood, and energy.

Sometimes even inflammatory markers or other custom labs depending on what your Dutch test reveals.

Why a Dutch Test over everything else? Because it shows the full picture. Not just one hormone. Not just one level. It helps us see the why behind your exhaustion so we can fix it at the source.

I can't tell you how many women I've worked with who were taking B vitamins or iron and still felt like garbage — because they weren’t addressing their cortisol patterns, methylation issues, or the fact they weren’t even absorbing their supplements properly.

You don’t need more guesswork. You need strategy.

This is exactly what we do in the 6 Month Female Hormone Solution.

Have you ever found yourself thinking:

“I’m not doing anything different… but all of a sudden I’m exhausted, gaining weight, snapping at everyone, and feeling like a shell of myself. What is going on?!”

If this sounds like you — please know you’re not crazy, and you’re definitely not alone.

I hear this story from women all the time.

➡️ You’re eating well. ➡️ You’re moving your body. ➡️ You’re getting to bed on time. ➡️ And yet — you wake up drained. Mood swinging like crazy. Feeling disconnected from yourself and your people.

And when you ask for help? You’re told “it’s just your hormones” or “maybe it’s perimenopause” — often years before you thought that was even possible.

Worse, you’re handed a birth control prescription, maybe an antidepressant, and sent on your way without real answers.

But here’s what most providers are missing: It’s not just one thing.

Your hormones don’t operate in a vacuum. Neither does your mood, energy, or metabolism.

When your system gets depleted — from stress, life demands, shifts in hormone patterns, or nutrient deficiencies — it impacts EVERYTHING.

Your energy. Your dopamine (the neurotransmitter that gives you motivation and joy). Your ability to handle stress. Even your relationships.

We need to give your system what it needs to function properly.

That’s the part that gets missed. It’s not about doing more. It’s about supporting your body better.

Your hormones, your stress response, your neurotransmitters — they’re all connected. And unless you know where your imbalances actually are, you’re left shooting in the dark.

That’s why inside my Female Hormone Solution program, we don’t guess. We test. We individualize. And we map out a plan based on your body’s actual needs.

As a physical therapist, Samantha spent years treating bodies in pain. But what she uncovered was that so many of her patients — high achievers, athletes, professionals — weren’t just dealing with physical symptoms. They were carrying deep emotional wounds: perfectionism, people-pleasing, addiction to productivity, and shame.

And it wasn’t just in their heads. It was in their nervous systems.

In her new book, Breaking the Circuit, she shares: ✨ Her personal journey through addiction recovery, grief, and self-forgiveness ✨ How trauma patterns live in the body and affect our health ✨ Why she reinvented the 12-step recovery model for modern women ✨ The life-changing practice of making amends… to yourself

One thing Samantha said that stuck with me:

“At one point, those coping mechanisms saved you. But if they’re running the show now, they’re keeping you stuck.”

We dove deep into the intersection of trauma, nervous system rewiring, hormone health, and how so many women are unknowingly trapped by patterns they didn’t choose. Patterns that are stealing their joy, their health, and their sense of worth.

If you’ve ever carried guilt, shame, or perfectionism on your back like a heavy bag of bricks — you’re not alone.

And it is possible to heal.

This conversation cracked something open for me, and I hope it does the same for you.

Dr. Samantha Harte is a physical therapist, author, performing artist, podcast host, and sober mom of two. She has been featured on ABC7 and CBS and has been written up in People magazine, Time magazine, Best Life, and The New York Post for her expertise on the intersection of mind-body health and wellness. Her self-help memoir, Breaking The Circuit: How to Rewire Your Mind for Hope, Resilience and Joy in the Face of Trauma is a reinvention of the 12 steps of recovery so that anyone, addict or not, can turn heartbreak into hope.

Let’s clear something up right now — if you’ve been feeling off with your hormones… whether it’s bloating, mood swings, poor sleep, stubborn weight, low energy, or unpredictable cycles… there’s one simple thing you might be overlooking:

PROTEIN.

I know, you’ve probably heard that protein’s important. But do you really know why it matters for your hormones?

Most women don’t — and it’s costing them.

👉 Here’s how protein impacts your hormones at every level:

✨ Hormone Production: Your body literally builds hormones out of amino acids (the building blocks of protein). If you’re not eating enough, you’re not giving your body the raw materials it needs to make estrogen, progesterone, cortisol, testosterone — all of it.

✨ Hormone Metabolism + Detox: Once your body makes hormones, it has to process and clear them out efficiently. Guess what fuels your liver and gut to do that job? Protein. Without enough, your system slows down, leftover hormones hang around too long, and you get symptoms like heavy periods, mood swings, and stubborn weight.

✨ Blood Sugar + Mood Regulation: Stable blood sugar is one of the best-kept secrets to balanced hormones — and one of the best ways to stabilize blood sugar? Protein pacing (eating balanced amounts of protein regularly throughout the day). It keeps your energy up and mood more even.

✨ Stress Recovery + Resilience: Women’s bodies respond differently to stress than men’s — we’re more likely to deplete our nutrient stores, especially during big life changes like having kids, starting new jobs, or hitting perimenopause. Protein is a key nutrient your body leans on to recover and rebuild from stress.

Here’s what I see all the time: Women come into my program thinking they’re eating “healthy” — lots of veggies, salads, clean snacks — but when we look closer, they’re seriously lacking protein. And within weeks of upping their intake and learning how to protein pace properly, their energy, sleep, mood, and hormones improve.

This is why the very first thing we focus on in the Female Hormone Solution Program is something called the Primer — and it’s all about getting your protein game dialed in.

Because if you’ve spent years feeling behind on your health, stressed out, depleted, or like you “missed the boat” on taking care of yourself — you haven’t. You can start now. And protein is the simplest, most effective place to begin.

Let’s talk about burnout — the kind that makes you feel mentally fried, physically drained, and like even getting through your to-do list is a monumental task.

Here’s the thing nobody tells you: burnout isn’t just “being stressed out.”

It’s a physiological hormonal crisis happening in your body.

By the time most women hit burnout, it’s not just about being tired. It’s about your adrenals, cortisol, dopamine, testosterone, and progesterone all taking a nosedive — and your body sending up all the flares.

👉 Ever felt like you’re dragging yourself through the day? 👉 No motivation, no focus, maybe even brain fog? 👉 Working out but not seeing results? Libido MIA? 👉 Mood swings and crazy cycles out of nowhere?

That’s not in your head. That’s your hormones in distress.

What’s actually happening?

When your system hits burnout:

• Cortisol tanks (the stress hormone that’s meant to help you handle pressure)
• Dopamine plummets (so no, you’re not lazy — you’re literally missing the brain chemical that gives you motivation)
• Testosterone drops (which slows muscle repair, messes with metabolism, and crushes libido) Progesterone falls off (leading to cycle problems, PMS, mood swings)

And on top of that? You’re likely nutrient depleted too. (B vitamins, minerals, everything your body uses to run the show.)

The problem is — most women just try to “push through.” More workouts. Less food. Another cup of coffee. Maybe a spa day for “self-care.”

But a bubble bath won’t fix a hormone crash.

This is exactly why I created the 6-Month Female Hormone Solution.

We run actual hormone testing (the DUTCH test, far more comprehensive than a blood draw) to see what’s happening inside your body. Then we create a customized plan — for you — based on your unique results.

We work on:

✅ Adrenal and cortisol support ✅ Rebalancing your dopamine and motivation ✅ Boosting testosterone naturally ✅ Supporting progesterone production ✅ Nutrient repletion (especially B vitamins and minerals) ✅ Gut health repair (because yep — burnout impacts digestion too)

This isn’t a quick-fix bandaid. Healing takes time. But when you work with your body instead of against it, the results last.

And you won’t have to guess at what you should be doing.

How do you actually know if you’re dealing with a hormone issue?

Is it something you just “deal with” because you’ve been told it’s normal, or is your body waving a big flag for help?

I get this question all the time — and honestly, most of us aren’t sure what a “normal” cycle is supposed to look or feel like anymore. That’s why I’m here to break it down for you.

Common Symptoms That Could Mean Your Hormones Are Out of Whack: * Fatigue, anxiety, trouble sleeping Could be thyroid, cortisol, melatonin — or a combo. * Acne, hair thinning on your scalp, increased facial or body hair Could be androgens (like testosterone) or even cortisol, thyroid, or gut issues. * Vaginal dryness + low libido Often connected to androgens and cortisol. * Heavy periods, clots, mood swings, breast tenderness, fibroids Hello, estrogen dominance (when estrogen’s too high compared to progesterone). * Hot flashes, night sweats, cycle-related bloating Also hormone-related, even if you’re not menopausal.

The tricky part? These symptoms often overlap — and it’s never just one thing.

Your body is incredibly interconnected, and often when one hormone is off, others get pulled out of line too. That’s why band-aid fixes don’t work, and why so many women feel frustrated chasing symptoms without seeing real changes.

So Where Do You Start? With a system that supports your hormones across the board.

That’s exactly why I created the 14 Day Hormone Reset — a micro-program designed to give you a clear, supportive, and effective starting point.

We’re covering everything from:

• How to build a hormone-supportive lifestyle
• What to eat (and when) to support your cycle
• Morning & nighttime routines that actually move the needle
• A live coaching call to get your questions answered
• Personalized voice-note support based on your symptoms

And yes — it works. I’ve had women message me saying they didn’t even realize their period had arrived because their usual PMS mood swings, bloating, and cramps were gone.

Your body is designed to regulate your hormones. It just needs the right support — and that’s what we’re going to do together.

Let me guess: you’re sipping your third coffee of the day wondering why you're still exhausted... You wake up tired. You crash by 3 PM. Your evenings are a blur of wanting to be present with your people... but all you can manage is couch mode.

If you’ve ever found yourself asking, “Why am I so dang tired all the time?” You’re not alone — and there’s actually a really good reason your energy feels like a rollercoaster.

Here’s what most women don’t know: your energy isn’t just about sleep (though that helps), or how much caffeine you can sneak in before noon. It’s about hormones and nutrients — and how they shift throughout your cycle.

Your body is on a biological rhythm, not a 24/7 productivity sprint. But most of us are taught to power through, hustle harder, and then wonder why we’re crashing and burning.

Studies have shown that energy drink sales have skyrocketed over the past decade. Why? Because we’re all trying to patch over a real problem with a short-term fix.

And spoiler alert: the solution isn’t found in a can of Red Bull.

One of the biggest culprits? Nutrient deficiencies. Especially in B vitamins, iron, and other energy-supporting nutrients your body needs to function, detox, and heal.

Women especially tend to struggle with methylation (a fancy word for how your body activates certain vitamins). So you might be taking a supplement... but if your body can’t use it, it’s not doing much.

And then there’s cortisol — your stress hormone. When it’s out of whack, it’s like trying to drive with your foot on the gas and the brake at the same time. You’re constantly on edge and totally drained.

Here’s the good news though — this can be fixed. With food. With targeted nutrients. With simple shifts that actually work with your body instead of fighting it.

If your energy is low, your brain feels foggy, and you’re tired of living life at 60% — it’s time for a reset.

That’s why I’m so excited to invite you into the 14-Day Female Hormone Reset

This is not another detox or fad plan. This is real, science-backed, female-focused nutrition and hormone support that meets you where you are — whether you’re deep in burnout or just need a better system for your body.

What you’ll get:

✔️ Daily guidance (nothing overwhelming!) ✔️ Protein pacing strategies to balance blood sugar & energy ✔️ The exact supplements to support your body’s needs ✔️ Tips to manage cortisol and improve sleep ✔️ A grocery list, recipes, and a flexible meal guide ✔️ Custom support from me + a community of women walking this journey with you

One of my favorite stories? A woman who could barely sit up after work — she’d lie on the couch while her kids played nearby. Within three days of starting, she was on the floor playing with them. Not just existing... but living.

That’s what we want for you. Not just survival — vibrant energy.

This 14-day reset is your invitation to stop guessing, stop Googling, and start feeling better fast.

Have you ever had a moment where you completely overreacted — and then instantly thought, “Whoa… where did that come from?”

Like, maybe you were already a little annoyed. You asked someone to do the dishes. They didn’t. You decided to do them yourself because you need a clean kitchen before you cook dinner. And then your husband walks in, casually puts another dirty dish in the sink…

…and you lose it.

Later, you think: That wasn’t even that big of a deal. Why did I snap like that?

These emotional swings — from zero to sixty in seconds — can feel frustrating, embarrassing, and honestly… kind of scary. Like you’re not in control of your own reactions.

But here’s the truth:

It’s not just about willpower or being "too emotional." Mood swings are often a sign your body is asking for help.

So what causes mood swings, really?

Mood shifts can be triggered by:

• Hormonal fluctuations (especially around your cycle)
• Nutrient deficiencies
• Poor sleep
• Gut imbalances affecting neurotransmitter production
• Chronic stress or burnout

So yes, your cycle and hormones absolutely play a role. But so does the food you eat, how you move, how you sleep, and how well your system is supported overall.

If this hits home… you’re not alone. So many women tell me:

• “I feel bad all the time.”
• “I’m losing friendships.”
• “My marriage is on the rocks and I’m not sure if it’s him or me… or both.”
• “I don’t even like being around myself anymore.”

And over and over again, I see this: Once we support their hormones, mood, gut, and nutrients — everything changes.

Their relationships shift. Their marriage improves. Their anxiety softens. They feel like themselves again.

That’s exactly why I created the 14-Day Hormone Reset.

If you’re tired of feeling out of control, this is your next best step.

It’s a short and powerful mini course where you’ll get:

✅ Daily action steps ✅ A hormone-balancing nutrition plan ✅ Morning + evening routines ✅ A customized protocol based on your assessment ✅ Tools to support your mood, energy, and resilience ✅ Support from me directly — this time, I’m adding in custom recommendations and help where you need it most

This isn’t like any other mini course I’ve run. It’s more personal, more transformative, and it’s been completely revamped based on feedback from women like you.

You deserve to feel like you again. You deserve to stop snapping and start feeling steady. You deserve to enjoy your relationships and your life without the overwhelm.

You’re not alone—and more importantly, you’re not wrong. Trying to fix your hormones without a clear plan is like wandering through Target without a list. It feels productive, but your cart ends up full of randomness, and nothing really solves the problem.

Here's your fresh start: The 14-Day Hormone Reset is not just another "cleanse," restrictive diet, or bootcamp. It’s a mini-course designed with your unique body in mind. Whether you're cycling, perimenopausal, or postmenopausal, this program meets you exactly where you are.

It’s simple. It’s powerful. It’s different.

Let’s just say it: navigating birth control options without wanting to be on birth control can feel... confusing at best and isolating at worst.

You’re not alone if you've ever thought: "I’m not ready for a baby, but I don’t want to be on the pill. What do I even do?"

I feel the same way — from being put on the pill at 15, to learning the hard way that my unique uterus couldn't handle an IUD (yes, in the stirrups, mid-appointment 😳), to eventually making the decision for my husband to get a vasectomy.

But here’s the real kicker:

No one ever really taught me (or us) how to listen to my body.

So if you're in that weird space of:

• not ready for kids
• wanting hormone balance
• and not feeling aligned with hormonal birth control...

...this is your gentle nudge that there are other ways.

Here are some natural options:

• Barrier methods (yes, they still exist — and they're legit)
• Natural family planning (aka, syncing up with your body’s rhythm)
• Tracking ovulation with more than just a guess
• And most importantly... learning your body’s cycle like a superpower 🦸‍♀️

Because when you work with your body instead of silencing it, magic happens. ✨

And if you’re sitting there thinking, “Okay, cool... but how do I even start?” — I got you.

I’ve got a 6 month hormone transformation program — from meal guides, supplements, cycle syncing and individual guidance — all the things that should’ve been taught to us at an earlier age.

Because you deserve to feel confident in your choices. Supported in your body. Empowered in your decisions.

I need to tell you something you might not hear enough: Postpartum is about YOU just as much as it’s about your baby. And yet, we live in a culture that’s more focused on swaddles and sleep schedules than the well-being of the person who just created a whole human.

I recently sat down with Maranda Bower from Postpartum University, and let me tell you—she dropped some serious truth bombs about what’s missing in postpartum care and how we can change the game. Maranda’s journey started when she had her first baby and realized she was completely unprepared for what came next. She is an expert in child development, a science-loving go-getter who thought she had everything figured out… until postpartum knocked her flat.

Sound familiar? Maybe you felt that overwhelming exhaustion, the anxiety, the body that didn’t quite feel like your own anymore. Maybe you were told, “Oh, that’s just mom life. Welcome to the club.” But Maranda’s work proves something powerful: Postpartum struggles aren’t just something to tough out—they’re signs that your body needs nourishment, care, and support.

The Truth About Postpartum That No One Talks About

👉 Science is just catching up to what women have always known: postpartum recovery takes longer than six weeks, and it affects everything from your hormones to your nervous system to your gut health.

👉 There are more studies on postpartum cows than postpartum women (yep, you read that right). Why? Because dairy sales matter more than maternal health. Let’s change that.

👉 Your postpartum experience literally shapes your baby’s brain. Research shows that a mother’s health has a profound impact on childhood development, yet the support for moms? Almost nonexistent.

And don’t even get me started on the whole “bounce back” culture. If you’ve been complimented on your weight loss while secretly feeling like a hollowed-out shell of yourself, you’re not alone. Maranda and I talked about how real postpartum recovery is about nourishment, rest, and support—not about how fast you can fit into your pre-baby jeans.

So What Can We Do?

✨ Shift the focus: Prioritize your recovery just as much as your baby’s needs. You both deserve it.

✨ Seek real postpartum support: Functional nutrition, hormone balancing, nervous system care—these aren’t luxuries; they’re necessities.

✨ Ditch the shame: You’re not “just tired” or “being dramatic.” If something feels off, trust yourself. Your body is speaking to you.

Maranda’s work at Postpartum University is all about giving moms and professionals the tools to make postpartum a time of healing, not just survival. If you’re in the thick of it (or know someone who is), consider this your permission slip to take your postpartum care seriously.

You are not alone, and you deserve to feel whole again.

Let’s talk about something we’ve all either said or screamed at some point: Why is my period SO painful?!

I wish I could tell you it’s just one thing. That there’s one sneaky culprit behind those cramps from hell, and if we fix that, BOOM—pain-free periods forever. But the truth? It’s not that simple

Painful periods are often tied to one big bad player: inflammation. Think of inflammation like throwing gas on an already raging fire. If your gut, bladder, or reproductive organs are inflamed, your period pain is likely going to be worse. If going to the bathroom during your period makes you want to cry? That’s a sign there’s inflammation in play.

But where does inflammation come from? Here are some common culprits:

• Hormonal Imbalances: Estrogen dominance can contribute to conditions like endometriosis, fibroids, and PCOS—all of which can crank up period pain.
• Stress: And here’s the kicker—stress doesn’t just make you feel frazzled, it actually fuels inflammation! When you’re in pain, your cortisol (aka your stress hormone) spikes, and that keeps the pain cycle going. It’s like your body is stuck in fight-or-flight mode… during your period.
• Gut Health Issues: If your gut is inflamed, your whole system is inflamed. And since your digestive system is right next to your reproductive organs, gut issues can make cramps even worse.

The good news? You can work with your body instead of against it. Here are a few things that actually help:

1. Reduce Inflammation

   • Dry brushing (it helps your lymphatic system flush out inflammation!)
   • Staying hydrated (simple, but so effective)
   • Acupuncture, chiropractic care, or massage

   • Support Your Stress Response

   • Adaptogens like ashwagandha and maca can help bring down that amped-up cortisol response.

   • Deep breathing, meditation, and vagus nerve exercises (yep, your nervous system plays a role here!)

   • Balance Your Hormones

   • Get your estrogen levels checked (a DUTCH test can give you a deep dive!)

   • Avoid endocrine disruptors in skincare, makeup, and household products
   • Cycle-sync your nutrition and exercise

Your body is not working against you—it's just trying to tell you something. Painful periods aren’t just random bad luck. I've formulated tinctures for cycle balance, stress relief, sleep and more, so if you are struggling check them out here: https://nutritionforyourhormones.com/

In this episode, I had the opportunity to interview Erica Rooney—chief people officer, executive coach, and now, author of Glass Ceilings and Sticky Floors: Shattering Limiting Beliefs and Toxic Behaviors to Uncover Infinite Possibilities. And let me tell you, this chat was a must-hear for any woman who has ever felt stuck, doubted herself, or hesitated to take a big leap (yep, that’s all of us!).

Erica gets it. She’s been there. She climbed the corporate ladder, got to the top, and thought… “Wait, this is it?” She realized that women in the workplace weren’t just battling glass ceilings—they were also stuck on sticky floors like imposter syndrome, perfectionism, and burnout. Sound familiar?

One of the wildest stats she shared? Women will look at a job posting and if they don’t meet 100% of the qualifications, they won’t even apply. Meanwhile, men apply if they check off just 60%. (Cue the facepalm.)

So what’s the fix? Erica’s SNAP framework is a game-changer:

✅ Stop and take note – What is your body telling you? Sweaty palms? Racing heart? Pay attention.

✅ Name it – Call out the limiting belief. Imposter syndrome? Fear of failure? Own it.

✅ Ask and answer – Is this belief actually true? What’s the worst-case scenario, and can you handle it? (Hint: You can.)

✅ Pivot – Reframe your thinking. Instead of “I have to do this,” try “I get to do this.”

The best part? This framework isn’t just for the boardroom. It applies to every aspect of life—career moves, relationships, big life transitions. Because as Erica says, new level, new devil. The fears don’t disappear—you just get better at overcoming them.

This is just the surface of our conversation on overcoming self-doubt, perfectionism, and other limiting beliefs that act as 'sticky floors,' preventing women from reaching their full potential.

Raise your hand if you’ve ever been personally victimized by PMS. 🙋‍♀️ The mood swings, the bloating, the "why am I crying over a dog food commercial?" moments—it’s a monthly rollercoaster, and not the fun kind.

But what if I told you that you don’t have to just suffer through it? That your PMS isn’t just bad luck but actually something you can fix with a few simple daily shifts? Yep, it's true, and here are some game-changing tools that you can start using today.

Step 1: Remove the Firestarter 🔥 We all love a sweet treat now and then, but excess sugar (yes, even those sneaky hidden sugars in your “healthy” snacks) can throw your hormones into chaos, making PMS symptoms even worse. The best thing you can do? Cut back on sugar, especially in the week leading up to your period. Think of it as taking the gasoline away from the fire instead of just watching the flames get bigger.

Step 2: Fuel Your Body Right 🍳 Protein is your BFF when it comes to hormone balance. Aim for at least 20 grams of protein per meal (I love eggs + cottage cheese + sautéed spinach for a powerhouse breakfast). Plus, load up on greens—think asparagus, green beans, or kale—to give your body the minerals it needs to keep your cycle running smoothly.

Step 3: Work With Your Cycle, Not Against It 🌙 Your hormones ebb and flow throughout the month, which means your support should, too! I’m a big believer in seed cycling—alternating pumpkin and flax seeds in the first half of your cycle and switching to sesame and sunflower seeds in the second half. I also love herbal tinctures (like Vitex and red raspberry leaf) to naturally support estrogen and progesterone balance. These small shifts can help ease PMS symptoms before they start, so you're not caught off guard every month.

Step 4: Take Charge of Your Cycle 🚀 Instead of just dealing with PMS, what if you took control of your hormonal health? Whether that means trying out these daily shifts, looking into DUTCH testing, or finding the right supplement routine, YOU have the power to change how you feel every month. Your cycle shouldn’t control you—you should be in the driver’s seat.

A great place to start - my herbal tinctures!! I’ve got blends for cycle balance, metabolism, stress, detox and more. https://nutritionforyourhormones.com/

Have you ever found yourself reaching for a new supplement because it should help your estrogen, your sleep, or your energy—only to feel exactly the same… or worse?

I get it. The wellness world is overwhelming. You want to feel better, but where do you even start?

Here’s the thing: Your body is not a one-size-fits-all equation. That’s why testing—not guessing—is the key to finally understanding what’s actually going on beneath the surface.

Enter: The DUTCH Test.

This at-home urine test is like getting a personal roadmap to your hormones. Instead of throwing spaghetti at the wall with supplements and hoping for the best, the DUTCH test shows you exactly where your imbalances are, what’s driving your symptoms, and how to fix them with a targeted approach.

Let me share a quick story. A client of mine—a total rockstar athlete—came to me exhausted. She’d tried everything: cleaner eating, more sleep, different workouts. Nothing worked.

She thought her stress was too high. But when we ran a DUTCH test? Her stress hormones were actually too low. She wasn’t just stressed—she was burnt out. And all the stress-reducing techniques she was using? They were actually making things worse.

Moral of the story? Without testing, it’s easy to go in the completely wrong direction.

Hormones control everything—your energy, mood, metabolism, sleep, skin, digestion… So why are we still throwing darts in the dark when we could be using science-backed, personalized data to get real answers?

If you’ve been struggling and feeling stuck, here’s your sign: It’s time to stop guessing and start testing.

Have you ever walked out of the doctor’s office, blood test results in hand, only to hear those dreaded words: “Everything looks normal!”

Meanwhile, you’re exhausted, your hormones are all over the place, your energy is in the basement, and you just know something is off. So now what? Just accept that feeling like a tired, cranky version of yourself is the new normal? Nope, not today.

Let me introduce you to a new approach to your health: the DUTCH test.

Unlike a standard blood test (which takes a quick snapshot of your hormone levels at one moment in time), the DUTCH test is a urine test that shows you the full story of what’s happening in your body over a 24-hour period. It looks at:

✅ Estrogen, progesterone, testosterone, and adrenal markers ✅ Free vs. bound hormones (hello, actual usable hormones!) ✅ Cortisol patterns (because stress and energy matter) ✅ Nutrient metabolites like B12, B6, and glutathione ✅ Even neurotransmitters like dopamine and melatonin!

Basically, it's like the full diagnostic workup for your body instead of a quick glance under the hood.

Imagine going for a bike ride. A blood test is like checking to see if the bike technically has two wheels. A DUTCH test? It’s making sure the tires are fully inflated, the chain is running smoothly, and the brakes actually work—so you don’t just move, you thrive.

And here’s the kicker: if you were to order all these tests separately, you’d be looking at over $1,200 (ouch!). But a DUTCH test bundles them together for a fraction of the cost. More info, fewer headaches, and actual insights that can help you feel like you again.

So if you’re tired of feeling off and getting zero answers, it might be time to take a deeper dive. Ready to get to the root of your hormone health? Order your DUTCH test here: https://drbethwestie.com/dutch-hormone-testing/

If there’s one thing you need to know about me, it’s that I love hormone testing. I’m talking about the DUTCH test - dried urine test that gives us a deep, behind-the-scenes look at what’s really going on with your hormones.

And let me tell you, after looking at hundreds of DUTCH test results, there are three big things I see again and again—things that could be the missing puzzle piece to why you’re feeling off. So let’s get into it!

1. 🚨 Stress is Running the Show (a.k.a. Cortisol Chaos) Let’s get real: when was the last time you weren’t stressed? If you’re anything like the women I work with, your stress levels have been through the roof for years. Maybe you went through a tough divorce, had a high-pressure job, or just navigated the circus act of balancing work, family, and life (hello, cortisol rollercoaster!).

Your body doesn’t just forget stress. Even if life is good now, your nervous system might still be stuck in “fight or flight” mode. And when your cortisol is constantly high (or completely tanked from years of overdrive), you’ll feel it—fatigue, anxiety, gut issues, stubborn weight gain, the whole shebang.

💡 The fix? We can’t guess where your cortisol is—we have to test it. Then, we tailor the right strategy (because high cortisol and low cortisol need completely different approaches!).

1. 🚨 Estrogen is Stuck in a Traffic Jam Maybe you’ve been told your estrogen levels are “normal,” but your periods say otherwise. Heavy bleeding, clots, painful ovulation, mood swings? Yeah, that’s not fine.

Here’s the deal: estrogen isn’t just about how much you have—it’s about how your body is processing it. DUTCH testing shows us whether estrogen is getting stuck in phase one, struggling in phase two, or just plain refusing to leave your system.

And the crazy part? You won’t see these imbalances on a standard blood test. That’s why so many women get dismissed when they know something’s off.

💡 The fix? Supporting your body’s natural detox pathways (like your liver and gut) and, if needed, using targeted herbs or nutrients to get estrogen moving the right way.

1. 🚨 Low Dopamine = No Motivation (and Zero Joy) I have to admit something: when I saw my own DUTCH test results, my dopamine levels were in the toilet. And I didn’t even realize it—until I started fixing it.

Low dopamine doesn’t just mean feeling “a little off.” It’s waking up and dreading the day, losing interest in things you used to love, and craving constant stimulation (hello, endless Instagram scrolling). It’s looking at a Halloween store vampire coffin and thinking, Wow, that looks cozy (true story—red flag, right?).

💡 The fix? Dopamine isn’t just about supplements—it’s about lifestyle. More movement, more joy, more creativity, more connection. And sometimes, targeted nutrients to give your brain the extra push it needs.

If you’re struggling with fatigue, weight changes, mood swings, or just feeling off, it’s time to stop guessing. A DUTCH test gives you real answers, so you can take real action.

So tell me—do any of these red flags sound familiar? And if you’re ready to finally get to the root of your hormone struggles, let’s test your hormones: https://drbethwestie.com/dutch-hormone-testing/

Ever feel like stress is just... part of life? Like no matter how much deep breathing you do, your to-do list laughs in your face?

Here’s the deal: You don’t just need less stress—you need a bigger bucket to hold it.

I just had a game-changing conversation with Dr. Jenny (one of our fantastic docs on the team!) about increasing your capacity for stress. Because let’s be real: some stressors aren’t going anywhere. The job you can’t leave yet. The special needs child you love fiercely. The ongoing life changes. The answer isn’t just “reduce stress.” It’s learning how to handle it better.

Imagine your stress capacity as a glass of water. If it’s already full to the brim, one more drop sends it overflowing. But what if you could make the glass bigger? That’s the goal.

Here’s how you start expanding your stress bucket:

✅ Know your cortisol levels. High and low cortisol can feel the same—exhaustion, brain fog, and overwhelm. Testing (like the DUTCH test) helps you treat the actual issue, not just guess.

✅ Support your adrenals. Your body is working hard. Give it what it needs—nutrients, sleep, and the right adaptogens (because the wrong ones can make things worse!).

✅ Make it a lifestyle. This isn’t a quick fix. Women who truly feel better see changes over 3-6 months, sometimes even a year. But the results? Worth it.

Here’s what I love: When you understand your body, you stop fighting it. You learn to work with it, build resilience, and feel more you again.

Sometimes, the way forward isn’t something you figure out on your own. Whether it’s working with a practitioner, trying acupuncture, seeing a chiropractor, or just reaching out to a friend who gets it—getting support isn’t a weakness, it’s wisdom. You don’t have to do this alone.

Here’s what’s amazing: when you start taking care of yourself, the world around you shifts, too. You feel more like yourself again. You have more patience. More energy. More capacity to show up for the people you love. It’s not just about stress—it’s about reclaiming your vibrancy.

Ever find yourself irrationally irritated by the way your partner breathes? Like, truly—why does he have to inhale like that? Or maybe one minute, you're feeling all the love, and the next, you’re convinced your relationship is doomed. If so, before you start drafting a breakup text or Googling divorce lawyers, I need you to hear this: it might not be your relationship. It might be your hormones.

The Hormone-Relationship Connection I hear these stories all the time—women who suddenly can’t stand their partner’s quirks (you know, the ones that were once “cute”). They feel distant, resentful, exhausted, or just off. They think it's perimenopause, or stress, or maybe just a sign their relationship is failing.

But here’s what happens when we dig deeper:

👉 Adrenal fatigue. Chronic stress burns you out, leading to exhaustion, mood swings, and a total lack of patience. (Suddenly, everything your partner does is annoying.)

👉 Hormonal imbalances. When estrogen, progesterone, or testosterone are out of whack, so is your mood. Anxiety, irritability, and low libido? Yep, all connected.

👉 Gut health issues. 95% of your serotonin is made in your gut. If your digestion is struggling, so is your happiness. And if you’re not happy, guess who feels it? Your partner.

The Power of Testing One woman I worked with was convinced she was going into perimenopause. Her cycles were irregular, she was exhausted, and she had ZERO tolerance for her husband. Turns out, it wasn’t perimenopause at all—her adrenal health was completely shot. We targeted that, and within a few months, she felt like herself again. Her mood stabilized, her energy returned, and—bonus—her marriage improved.

And this is exactly why guessing isn’t the answer. You deserve real answers. You deserve to know what’s actually happening in your body so you can make decisions from a place of clarity, not frustration.

The Big Question: Will Balancing Your Hormones Save Your Relationship? Maybe. Maybe not. Some women go through this process, feel amazing, and realize their relationship was never the problem. Others? They gain the clarity and energy to finally admit what they’ve known all along: they’re ready to walk away.

Either way, the answer starts with YOU.

If you feel like you’re losing yourself—if you’re constantly questioning your emotions, your reactions, or even your entire relationship—it’s time to check in with your body. Don’t make life-altering decisions from a place of exhaustion and imbalance. Let’s get you back to feeling like YOU first.

You’ve tracked your cycle. You’ve cleaned up your diet. You’ve done the DUTCH test. You’ve optimized your hormones. And yet… still waiting on that positive pregnancy test?

Let’s talk about the OTHER 50% of the equation: HIM.

I know, I know—male fertility doesn’t get the same attention. But the reality? Men’s bodies respond to change faster than women’s, and the right shifts can have a massive impact on sperm health. The best part? It’s usually not about adding more—it’s about taking the right things away.

So, where do we start? Here are the BIGGEST hidden culprits behind low male fertility:

1️⃣ Endocrine Disruptors That car air freshener? The heavily scented body spray? Those sneaky chemicals are tanking testosterone and sperm quality. One of my clients had her husband ditch the artificial fragrances, and just weeks later, she noticed a big difference (yes, in that way).

2️⃣ Toxic Food & Drinks Gas station snacks and energy drinks? They’re loaded with chemicals that mess with hormones. A switch to cleaner options (plus more protein—think caveman-style eating!) can make a night-and-day difference.

3️⃣ Environmental Exposures If your partner works around chemicals, oils, or industrial materials, his skin is absorbing toxins daily. Protective gear is a must. One client’s husband worked in a mechanic shop, changed a few key habits, and within weeks, their fertility outlook totally shifted.

4️⃣ The Gut-Hormone Connection A messed-up gut means messed-up hormones. I’ve seen parasites, Candida, H. pylori—things men brush off as “normal” bloating or stomach issues. If his gut isn’t right, his hormones won’t be either.

🚨 The Next Step? Test, Don’t Guess. 🚨

If you’ve made these changes and still feel like something’s off, it’s time to get serious. The truth is, regular fertility check-ups often miss key hormone imbalances. That’s where DUTCH testing + Gut testing comes in. They give us the full picture—no more guessing, no more wasted time.

Brie came to me after spending over a year trying to get pregnant with no success. She was frustrated, exhausted, and wondering what the heck was wrong with her body. After all, she had no trouble getting pregnant the first time—so why was it so hard now?

She had an active lifestyle, a job she loved, a wonderful husband, and a strong desire to grow her family. But her cycles were all over the place, her energy was low, and she couldn’t shake the feeling that something just wasn’t right.

And yet, when she went to her OB? No tests. No real answers. Just the classic “keep trying” and “maybe you’re too stressed” advice. (Insert eye roll.)

So we took a deep dive into her health. We ran a DUTCH test to get a clear picture of her hormones, mapped her ovulation, and did a GI test that revealed Candida overgrowth (hello, bloating and gut issues!). We also looked at her genetics and found methylation issues that were likely messing with her hormone balance.

Over the next six months, we tackled each issue one by one. Her cycle regulated, her painful cramps and clotting eased, her energy skyrocketed, and she even naturally lost 12 pounds without focusing on weight loss at all. And then… she got pregnant. Naturally.

No more second-guessing. No more wondering what was wrong. Just a body that was finally working for her instead of against her.

Here’s the thing: If you’re struggling with your hormones, your fertility, or even just feeling like yourself again, you don’t have to do it alone. There’s a reason you haven’t found the answers on Google or a 10 minute well visit with your primary care.

This is exactly why I offer 1:1 coaching—to help women like you get real answers and real results. If you’re ready to stop guessing and start feeling incredible in your body again, this is for you.

This is my MOST in-depth program, with over $2,000 of testing included and the most hands-on coaching. I will be with you every step of the way.

If you’ve ever sat in a doctor’s office, explaining your symptoms for the hundredth time, only to hear, “Your labs are normal,” while you still feel like garbage… this is for you.

You’re not crazy. You’re not making it up. And no, it’s not all in your head.

The truth? Most conventional tests barely scratch the surface. Maybe you asked for thyroid testing and only got TSH checked (spoiler: that’s not enough). Maybe you’ve tried the diets, the workouts, the supplements, and still—you feel exhausted, moody, and bloated for no clear reason.

You don’t need another generic “eat clean and sleep more” recommendation. You need answers.

That’s where deeper testing comes in—like the DUTCH test, GI mapping, or food sensitivity panels. These tests show what’s really going on under the hood, so you’re not just guessing anymore.

Here’s what I want you to hear loud and clear: You are not failing. You just haven’t found the right key for your body yet.

The “magic” isn’t in doing more—it’s in doing the right things based on what your body actually needs. That’s why personalized support matters. It’s not about following another wellness trend; it’s about getting real answers so you can finally feel like yourself again.

If this resonates, and you’re tired of spinning your wheels, I invite you to take the next step. Let’s get you the answers (and the support) you actually need.

You deserve to feel good. Let’s make that happen.

One of the biggest myths about stopping birth control is that everything will just snap back to normal in a couple of weeks. But the truth? That’s not always the case. Your body has been coasting along with external hormones, and now it’s trying to remember how to do its thing solo. It’s like waking up from a long nap—you might feel groggy before you feel refreshed.

How Long Does It Take to Adjust? There’s no one-size-fits-all answer because:

✔️ The type of birth control you were on matters (pill, IUD, implant—oh my!) ✔️ How long you’ve been on it plays a role ✔️ Your genetics, detox pathways, and gut health all factor in ✔️ Your body’s natural ability to regulate hormones varies

Some women get their cycles back right away, while others wait months. Frustrating? Yes. But understanding your body’s unique rhythm is key.

Supporting Your Body Through the Transition If you want to set yourself up for success, here are a few ways to give your body the love it needs:

🔹 Protein, Protein, Protein – Your body needs amino acids to make hormones. Focus on high-quality sources like grass-fed meats, eggs, and legumes.

🔹 Gut Health is Queen – Since your liver and gut help process hormones, keeping them happy is a must. Probiotics, fiber-rich foods, and proper hydration go a long way.

🔹 Seed Cycling – A simple but powerful way to support hormone balance. Try:

• Days 1-14: 1 tbsp each of flax and pumpkin seeds
• Days 15-28: 1 tbsp each of sesame and sunflower seeds

🔹 Liver Support – Your liver is working overtime to process hormones. Milk thistle, dandelion root tea, and even a daily sauna session can help detoxify.

🔹 Tinctures & Supplements – Certain herbal blends can support your hormones as they wake up from their birth control slumber. If you’re unsure where to start, working with a practitioner to personalize your approach can be a game changer.

🔹 Test, Don’t Guess – A DUTCH hormone test can help pinpoint exactly where your hormones are at and what they need to get back into balance.

Why do periods sometimes feel like someone is stabbing you with a hot poker? (Not dramatic at all, right?) You’re doubled over, your lower back is in knots, you feel nauseous, you’ve got a headache brewing—it’s like your body throws a full-on tantrum once a month.

So, why is this happening? And more importantly, how do we make it stop?

First, know this: pain = inflammation. When your period starts, your hormone levels drop suddenly. This is supposed to happen, but if your body isn’t flushing out excess estrogen properly (ahem, hello estrogen dominance), it can cause major inflammation. And guess what? Your period is also a detox process. So if your liver and gut (the MVPs of detoxing) aren’t working efficiently, your system gets backed up—kind of like a clogged drain. And what happens when a drain gets clogged? Everything overflows and makes a mess. That’s your period pain.

Oh, and here’s a fun fact: Your uterus doubles in size before your period. Yep, you read that right. It’s pushing up against your bladder, intestines, and all that soft tissue. If there’s any scar tissue or fibroids in the mix, that pressure gets even worse. No wonder it feels like your whole lower half is waging war against you!

So, what can you do?

You don’t have to suffer through this every month! Here’s where we start:

✨ Reduce inflammation every day – This isn’t just a period-week problem. Cutting back on alcohol, processed foods, and endocrine disruptors (aka hormone messers) helps lower inflammation all month long.

🔥 Support your detox pathways – Your liver and gut need some love. Start with nutrient-dense foods, hydration, and a DUTCH hormone test to see exactly where you need support.

💡 Use targeted relief tools – Heating pads, red light therapy, dry brushing, and lymphatic drainage are game-changers for pain relief and inflammation control.

🌿 Cycle support – Seed cycling, hormone-balancing tinctures, and proper mineral intake can make a HUGE difference in regulating your hormones naturally.

And listen, I know this can feel overwhelming. Like, where do you even start?! That’s exactly why I created my 12 Week Hormone Solution program—to guide you through these changes step by step so you’re not stuck Googling “how to survive my period” every month.

If your periods are getting worse, now is the time to take action. Registration is open for a limited time and I won't be offering this again until October.

Have you ever woken up feeling puffy, achy, or just off—like your body is holding onto something it shouldn’t? Maybe your rings feel tight, your belly balloons after lunch, or your brain feels foggy no matter how much coffee you drink? (Been there, done that, got the headache.)

What if I told you that inflammation might be behind it all—and that it could be messing with your hormones in ways you never even realized?

Here’s how it works: When your body is inflamed, it sets off an alarm system. Cortisol, your stress hormone, jumps in to help—but if it stays elevated too long, it can throw off estrogen, progesterone, and even your ability to ovulate consistently. Inflammation can also slow down how your body processes hormones, leading to excess estrogen (hello, bloating and mood swings!) and making it harder for you to clear out toxins. It’s a vicious cycle, and trust me, you are not imagining it.

But here’s the good news: You don’t have to stay stuck in the inflammation-hormone rollercoaster. Here’s where to start:

1️⃣ Check in with your body. Do you feel inflamed? Are you noticing swelling, sluggishness, headaches, or bloating? Your body is talking to you. Listen. 2️⃣ Look at your stress. Inflammation and stress are BFFs (the toxic kind). Identify what’s weighing you down—physical, emotional, or even environmental stress (yep, those perfume-heavy office spaces count!). 3️⃣ Nourish, don’t inflame. Swap out processed, inflammatory foods for whole, anti-inflammatory goodness—think turmeric, leafy greens, wild-caught fish, and lots of water. 4️⃣ Move in a way that heals, not harms. If you’re over-exercising and not recovering well, you could be adding fuel to the inflammation fire. Balance is key! 5️⃣ Test, don’t guess. Want to get to the root cause? Tests like the DUTCH hormone panel and GI mapping can help you pinpoint exactly what’s going on inside.

You don’t have to do this alone. If you’re nodding along and thinking, this is me, then it’s time to take action. Let’s create a plan that works for your body. Click here to get on the waitlist (registration is open but ONLY to the waitlist!!) for my hormone solution program where we’ll tackle inflammation, balance your hormones, and get you feeling like yourself again. Because you deserve to feel amazing.

Let’s talk about something that actually matters for your health: muscle. Not just looking "toned" (because, let's be honest, that word is overused and under-explained), but truly building lean muscle—the kind that makes you feel strong, energized, and unstoppable.

If you take one thing away from this, let it be this: protein is non-negotiable. I don’t care how much you’re lifting—if you’re not getting enough protein, your body can’t build muscle. Period.

Most women think they’re eating enough protein, but in reality? They’re getting half of what they need. Imagine thinking you're filling up your gas tank, but you're actually running on fumes. That’s what happens when you skimp on protein.

Here’s what to do:

• Aim for at least 120-140g of protein daily (more if you’re in menopause!).
• Space it out throughout the day—think protein pacing, not just one big shake at the end of the night.
• Lean into easy sources: eggs, chicken, fish, Greek yogurt, protein shakes, and bars.

Muscle doesn’t magically appear from cardio or tiny pink dumbbells. You need resistance training—something that challenges your muscles so they can rebuild stronger.

If you’re new to lifting, start small:

• Push-ups on the kitchen counter → then on your knees → then full push-ups.
• Bodyweight squats → then add weights → then increase reps.
• Dumbbell work—presses, rows, lunges—all amazing for muscle growth.

Women can gain about 0.5 to 1 pound of muscle per month with consistency. It takes time, but it’s 100% worth it.

Hormones play a huge role in muscle growth, and your cycle impacts when you build muscle best.

• Follicular phase (post-period to ovulation): Your body is primed for building muscle. Push harder, lift heavier, challenge yourself.
• Luteal phase (post-ovulation to period): Recovery takes longer. Focus on maintaining muscle and prioritizing rest.
• Menopause? Your body needs more protein and heavier weights to achieve the same muscle growth as before.

If you’re doing everything “right” but still struggling to build muscle, check these culprits:

• Not eating enough → Muscle growth needs fuel, not restriction.
• Chronic stress → High cortisol can literally break down your muscle.
• Poor sleep → Recovery happens when you rest, not when you push harder.

So, What Now? No more second-guessing. No more wasting time on workouts that don’t work for you. You have the shortcut—protein, strength training, and syncing with your body.

Want a step-by-step blueprint customized for you? I’ve got you covered. Click here to get on the waitlist for my next program where we take all of this and make it work for you: https://drbethwestie.com/waitlist/

Because strong is the new strong—and you, my friend, are just getting started. 💪

Raise your hand if you hit snooze three times this morning.

Yep, I see you. If rolling out of bed feels like dragging a boulder uphill and you don’t feel human until that first sip of coffee, you’re not alone. Trust me, I hear this all the time from women just like you—smart, driven, and doing all the right things, yet still waking up exhausted. So what gives?

Let’s get one thing straight: it’s not just about getting more sleep. If it were that easy, you wouldn’t be reading this. The reality? There’s a whole cocktail of reasons why you might be waking up feeling like you got run over by a truck, and we’re about to dig into them.

The biggest culprit? Low cortisol. Think of cortisol as your body’s natural morning alarm clock—it’s supposed to rise and give you that let’s-go-conquer-the-day energy. But if your levels are in the basement, you’re starting the day on an empty tank, and no amount of caffeine can fully fix that.

I worked with a woman recently who had been battling morning fatigue for years. She swore she was doing everything right—going to bed early, eating well, exercising—but when we ran a DUTCH test, her pre-cortisol levels were basically nonexistent. No wonder she felt like a zombie!

But low cortisol is just one piece of the puzzle. Here are a few other sneaky culprits:

• Crummy sleep quality – Are you actually getting deep, restorative sleep or just logging hours in bed?
• Melatonin misfires – If your melatonin is off, your body’s sleep-wake cycle might be too.
• Nutrient gaps – Your body does a ton of repair work overnight, and it needs the right fuel to do it.
• Circadian rhythm chaos – Stress, travel, late-night scrolling (we’ve all been there)—all of this messes with your body’s natural rhythms.

How to Wake Up Feeling Better Than a Walking Zombie) First things first: You’re not lazy. You don’t need more willpower. You need to give your body what it actually needs to function. Here’s how to start:

1. Test, don’t guess – A DUTCH test will give you real insight into what’s happening with your hormones.
2. Prioritize deep sleep – Set up a bedtime routine, cut back on blue light at night, and consider magnesium or melatonin support.
3. Fuel your body right – Protein, healthy fats, and key nutrients are essential for overnight recovery.
4. Stay the course – If your system is running on empty, fixing it isn’t an overnight job. Give it time, and don’t quit too soon.

I know how frustrating it is to feel like your body isn’t cooperating. But here’s the good news: you don’t have to live like this. If you’re ready to stop waking up exhausted and actually feel energized, let’s get to the root cause.

You know that mid-afternoon slump, the one where you’re staring at your to-do list, wondering if a nap is a socially acceptable option? Or that feeling when your energy crashes before your workout even starts? Yeah, I’ve been there too.

But here’s the thing: it’s not just about getting enough protein—it’s how you eat it that makes the magic happen. Enter: protein pacing.

What is it? Think of it like giving your body consistent doses of protein throughout the day instead of one giant meal at dinner. Science (and my own experience) says this can:

✅ Keep your metabolism revved up 🔥 ✅ Balance blood sugar (bye, mood swings) ✅ Support lean muscle (hello, strength and confidence)

And the best part? It’s not about adding more food—it’s about spreading it out smarter. Here’s what that looks like:

☀️ Breakfast: Scrambled eggs + avocado toast (or a smoothie packed with protein) 🍴 Snack: Greek yogurt + berries + a sprinkle of chia seeds 🥗 Lunch: Chicken, quinoa, and greens drizzled with a yummy dressing 🥜 Afternoon snack: protein shake or greek yog (yes, please) 🍽 Dinner: Salmon, roasted veggies, and sweet potatoes

Simple, right? And trust me, when you start fueling your body this way, you feel the difference. More energy, fewer cravings, and that steady, strong kind of confidence that makes you want to tackle your day (and maybe even that workout you were dreading).

Have you been told to ditch carbs? In the world of keto and low-carb trends, let me tell you: Carbs are not the enemy. In fact, they’re essential, especially for women’s hormone health.

Carbs aren’t just about energy—they’re also about balance.

1. Brain Food: Your brain thrives on glucose (a form of sugar that comes from carbs). When you’re under stress or tired, your brain craves carbs because that’s what it needs to function optimally. Restricting carbs? You might feel foggy, irritable, and more stressed.

2. Hormone Health:

   • Cortisol: If you’re low on carbs, your stress hormone (cortisol) stays elevated, making it harder to recover from stress and even disrupting your sleep.
   • Thyroid: Your thyroid, the gland responsible for your metabolism, relies on carbs to produce hormones effectively. Low-carb diets can slow your metabolism.
   • Insulin: Skipping carbs can lead to insulin resistance over time, which impacts your energy, weight, and even fertility.
   • Digestive Health: Your gut actually produces enzymes to break down carbs. Stop eating them, and your gut stops making those enzymes. When you reintroduce carbs, your digestion may struggle, leading to discomfort.
   • Growth & Repair: Growth hormone, which helps your body repair itself and maintain healthy tissues, is most active at night. But if your blood sugar isn’t stable during the day, this process can be disrupted, leaving you feeling less rejuvenated.

“Don’t carbs cause weight gain?” Not when you eat them in balance. Excessive carbs without enough protein or fats can contribute to weight gain, but eliminating them altogether can wreak havoc on your metabolism.

“Isn’t sugar bad for hormones?” It’s about quality, not elimination. Focus on whole, nutrient-dense carbs like fruits, veggies, and whole grains instead of processed sugars.

Think of your body like a house. If the foundation is crooked, everything else is off—no matter how much you try to “fix” the details. Nutrition is that foundation. When your carbs, protein, and fat are balanced, your body can self-regulate more effectively, improving hormone health, stress levels, and even sleep.

Did you know that years of dieting could be sabotaging your metabolism? Let’s unpack why this happens and, more importantly, how you can rebuild your metabolism for better energy and better health!

The Diet Trap For decades, diet culture has pressured women to pursue unrealistic body standards. From cabbage soup diets to extreme calorie restriction, the message has been clear: smaller is better. But here’s the thing—this is not true, and it’s certainly not good for your metabolism.

When you restrict calories or cut out entire food groups, your metabolism adapts. It slows down to conserve energy because your body perceives these restrictions as a stressor. Over time, this makes it harder to lose weight, creates hormonal imbalances, and depletes your energy stores.

Why the Female Body is Different Here’s something diet culture ignores: the female body is designed to store fat as a survival mechanism. Fat is essential for hormone regulation, fertility, and overall health. When you drastically cut calories or follow extreme diets, your body clings to fat reserves even harder. It’s not you—it’s biology.

On top of that, factors like stress, lack of sleep, medications, and birth control can further impact your metabolism. Add in chronic dieting, and the result is often a sluggish metabolic rate, nutrient deficiencies, and burnout.

The Metabolism You Want The good news? You don’t have to stay stuck in this cycle. The key to a healthy metabolism is fueling your body—not depriving it. It’s about giving your body the nutrients, rest, and movement it needs to function optimally.

• Protein is Your Friend: Start your day with a protein-rich breakfast to support muscle repair and metabolism.
• Prioritize Sleep: Growth hormone, essential for metabolic function, is released during deep sleep.
• Manage Stress: High cortisol levels can wreak havoc on your metabolism. Build stress-reducing habits into your day.
• Fuel Strategically: Eating enough calories and the right balance of nutrients keeps your metabolic “fire” burning.

Ready for a Reset? If you’re ready to break free from the dieting hamster wheel and build a metabolism that works for you, I’m inviting you to join my FREE 5-Day Metabolism Reset Challenge.

Do you ever feel like you’re trapped in a body that’s having wild emotional responses for no reason? Like one moment you’re calm, and the next, you’re completely overwhelmed? You’re not alone.

Mood swings can feel like a rollercoaster—sudden anger, tears, or irritability that seem to come out of nowhere. But here’s the thing: it’s not “all in your head,” and you’re not overreacting. Your body may be signaling deeper imbalances.

Mood swings aren’t just a simple A + B = C equation. Women’s physiology is incredibly complex, and factors like hormone imbalances, nutrient deficiencies, and stress play a major role. Here are some common culprits:

• Hormonal Imbalances: Issues with estrogen processing or progesterone levels often show up on advanced hormone tests like the DUTCH test.
• Adrenal Stress: Elevated cortisol (your stress hormone) can throw your emotional balance off.
• Nutrient Deficiencies: Lacking key vitamins or minerals can exacerbate mood swings.
• Sleep Issues: Poor-quality sleep leaves you emotionally vulnerable.

Severe mood swings don’t just affect you—they can ripple through your relationships, work, and overall well-being. One client described feeling like Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde, losing patience with her kids and spouse, and even jeopardizing lifelong friendships.

Your mood swing road map:

• Testing is Key: A comprehensive hormone test can pinpoint the root causes of your mood swings.
• Support Your Liver: Estrogen is processed through the liver, and if it’s sluggish, emotions like anger can build up.
• Tailored Nutrition: Small tweaks to your diet can make a huge difference in how you feel.
• Stress Management: Addressing adrenal fatigue can stabilize your emotional responses.

You don’t have to live at the mercy of your mood swings. With the right tools, you can regain control and feel like yourself again.

You're hot then you're cold… unlike the Katy Perry song, hot flashes are NOT fun.

And from an Eastern medicine perspective, they may also signify "stuck energy" or issues with stress response and detox pathways.

Major ugh.

But wait, you are not destined to be stuck in the night sweat - hot flash cycle forever!

Let’s unpack these sweaty episodes:

Common Triggers for Hot Flashes

1. Stress: Emotional, physical, and chemical stress can all contribute. Examples include:

   • High-intensity workouts followed by stressful to do list.
   • Emotional events like a job change, divorce, or death.
   • Chemical triggers such as caffeine, alcohol, spicy foods, and fermented foods.
   • Dietary Factors: Foods high in sugars, alcohol, and certain irritants (like nightshade vegetables) can exacerbate symptoms.
   • Liver and Gut Health: According to traditional Chinese medicine, nighttime hot flashes often occur during liver detoxification hours (1-3 AM). Issues like bloating, constipation, or diarrhea can signal gut-related concerns.

So let’s make it stop!! 1. Start with Testing: A personalized approach begins with understanding your body's unique needs. Recommended tests include:

* Dutch Test: A comprehensive hormone test to pinpoint imbalances.
* GI Map: To assess gut health and ensure proper digestion.
* Full Thyroid Panel: Since the thyroid regulates body temperature, a detailed evaluation of TSH, T3, T4, and antibodies is essential.

1. Manage Stress:

   • Incorporate meditation, mindfulness, or yoga and BOUNDARIES
   • Use adaptogens like ashwagandha or rhodiola to support cortisol regulation.

   • Support Detox Pathways:

   • Water-Soluble Pathway: Stay hydrated, add mineral-rich foods, and boost lymphatic flow through gentle exercise or dry brushing.

   • Fat-Soluble Pathway: Focus on liver and gut health by reducing alcohol and sugar, incorporating fiber, and addressing digestive concerns.

   • Adjust Your Diet:

   • Avoid or limit caffeine, alcohol, spicy foods, and fermented foods if they trigger symptoms.

   • Opt for anti-inflammatory and hormone-balancing foods like leafy greens, healthy fats, and lean proteins.

   • Consider Targeted Supplements:

   • Adaptogens for stress.

   • Liver-supportive nutrients like milk thistle and dandelion root.
   • Probiotics to enhance gut health.

Candace did it! She struggled with hot flashes for nearly two years despite trying medications, OBGYN recommendations, and advice from friends. After starting a customized protocol based on DUTCH test results, her symptoms initially worsened as her body released a backlog of hormones. Within weeks, the hot flashes significantly decreased and eventually disappeared. Today, she sleeps soundly and doesn’t wake up in a pool of sweat!

If you are ready to tackle the hot flashes FOR GOOD, I've got a 12 week hormone solution plan for you: https://drbethwestie.com/waitlist/

Most of what we’ve been told about boosting metabolism is incomplete—or just plain wrong. Cutting calories? Over-exercising? These approaches might work for a while, but they often backfire, especially for women as we age and our hormones shift.

Your metabolism is more than a calorie-burning machine; it’s the foundation of how your body creates energy, processes nutrients, and detoxifies naturally. Here are the top three ways to support your metabolism for lasting energy, health, and vibrancy:

1️⃣ Fuel Your Body Properly Stop starving yourself! Consistently eating too little slows your metabolism and deprives your body of essential nutrients. Instead, focus on nourishment. Prioritize whole, nutrient-dense foods and enjoy treats without guilt. When you fuel your body well, your metabolism can handle more—whether it’s cookies made with love or a holiday feast.

2️⃣ Build and Maintain Muscle Muscle is a metabolic powerhouse. The more lean muscle you have, the more energy your body burns—even at rest. Incorporate strength training into your routine and ensure you’re getting enough protein to repair and build muscle. Even adding just five pounds of lean muscle can significantly boost your basal metabolic rate.

3️⃣ Support Natural Detox Pathways Your body’s natural detox systems—like your liver, lymphatic system, and digestive tract—play a huge role in metabolism. If you experience bloating, sluggish digestion, or fatigue, these pathways may need support. Simple steps like dry brushing, sweating through exercise or sauna sessions, and staying hydrated can help your body flush out toxins and function optimally.

I’ve got an entire 12 week plan mapped out for you, complete with hormone testing, meal guides, training videos, live coaching sessions and supplements!

More exercise isn’t always better… it’s HOW you exercise and WHEN you exercise that really matters.

Here are some mistakes that women make with exercise that end up making things WORSE:

Mistake #1: Over-Exercise If you’re battling adrenal fatigue, pushing through intense workouts can backfire. Signs like lingering soreness or not getting stronger despite consistent effort mean your body is crying out for rest. Instead, try light yoga, walking, or gentle resistance training to support recovery.

Mistake #2: Ignoring Your Body’s History Your past stressors matter. Trauma, major life transitions, and even positive stress like a dream move can impact your body’s response to exercise. Your nervous system may interpret stress as a signal to escape—leaving you exhausted when you need energy most.

Mistake #3: Sticking to Exercise You Hate Not a fan of weightlifting? That’s fine! Exercise is personal, so explore Pilates, barre, or small-group fitness classes. Find what excites you and connects you with others. Exercise should be enjoyable, not a chore.

Mistake #4: Exercising Without Guidance Not all workout plans are created equal. If your progress has stalled, it’s time to understand what your body truly needs.

You don’t need to work harder. You need to work smarter. Stop spinning your wheels. Reconnect with your body, understand what it needs, and start seeing real results.

Is your metabolism really working against you?

You’ve done all “the right things” like adjusting your diet and movement and still feel sluggish.

Hormonal imbalances can play a massive role in metabolic dysfunction and even body composition.

Your hormones regulate more than you might realize. Imbalances can lead to issues with your metabolism: fatigue and weight loss resistance. This isn’t just about calories in versus calories out. It’s about how your body processes, stores, and uses energy. For women especially, factors like stress, sleep, and digestive health can drastically alter metabolic processes.

This resistance often happens because your fat cells aren’t static. They’re highly dynamic and responsive to hormones like estrogen and cortisol. If your body is under stress or storing excess hormones, your fat cells hold on tightly. This is why yo-ho dieting is so harmful!

The female body is designed to prioritize survival. When you’re stressed or underfed, your system may “freeze” metabolically, locking down fat storage and shifting away from building lean muscle. Even the most grueling workouts and restrictive diets can backfire in this state.

So what can you do??

You can TEST! Since hormones are at the root of the symptoms, we need to see exactly what those hormones are doing. Unlike standard blood tests, which measure a mix of free and bound hormones, the DUTCH test gives a clearer picture of how your body is processing and utilizing hormones. For example:

• Is your body storing excess estrogen?
• Are your cortisol levels too low to support a healthy metabolism?

The holidays are a whirlwind. Between Thanksgiving, Christmas, New Year’s, and every party and get-together in between, it’s no wonder many of us start January feeling burned out, puffy, and far from our best selves. It’s time to reset your cortisol and kick off the new year on the right foot—slow and steady.

Here’s how:

1. Evaluate Before You Add Instead of diving headfirst into intense gym sessions or restrictive diets, start by taking something away. Overwhelming your system with big changes can do more harm than good. For example, try cutting out alcohol (hello, Dry January!) or reducing sugar intake before adding intense workouts to your routine.

2. Prioritize Nervous System Support Your body craves routine and calm after the holiday chaos. Focus on:

3. Sleep: Establish a consistent bedtime and wake time. Good sleep is foundational for cortisol recovery.

4. Nutrient-Dense Foods: Incorporate leafy greens, organ meats, animal proteins, and plenty of minerals.
5. Dry Brushing: Stimulate your lymphatic system and reduce cortisol buildup. Bonus: it’s great for your skin too.

6. Adrenal Tinctures: Consider blends with ashwagandha, maca, or kava kava to support both high and low cortisol levels.

7. Slow and Steady Wins the Race Remember the story of the tortoise and the hare? Sustainable habits, not quick fixes, are the key to long-term health. Rushing into an intense regimen can worsen adrenal fatigue and stress. Instead, take it one step at a time.

8. Test, Don’t Guess If you’re unsure where to start, start with a DUTCH test. This comprehensive hormone test helps pinpoint exactly what your body needs so you can take targeted action.

Start small, stay steady, and give your body the recovery it deserves.

Have you ever thought, “It’s not my fault, I inherited it from my mom”? While your DNA sets the stage, your environment and lifestyle also play leading roles in your health.

• Genetics loads the gun. Lifestyle pulls the trigger.

This means that while you may carry certain genetic predispositions, it’s your daily habits and environment that determine whether those traits become active or remain dormant. Factors like stress, nutrition, and even life events can activate or suppress your genetic tendencies. For example:

• Pregnancy can act as a major stressor, revealing hidden health issues like postpartum thyroiditis. This condition is often tied to genetics but can be exacerbated by life events.

The Power of Genetic Testing: Understanding your unique genetic profile is like having a roadmap for your health. It provides insights into:

• How your body handles stress (methylation).
• Your predisposition to hormone imbalances or autoimmune conditions.
• The best foods, supplements, and lifestyle practices to optimize your health.

Take methylation as an example. It’s a crucial process your body uses to repair DNA, manage stress, and detoxify. If you’re not a strong methylator, small lifestyle changes like eating B-complex-rich foods (leafy greens, wild-caught fish) and managing stress can significantly improve your health.

Why This Matters: Genetic testing empowers you to take control. Instead of guessing why certain health issues arise, you gain clarity and actionable steps to support your well-being. With the right insights, you can shift your lifestyle to work with your genes, not against them.

In July, our family faced a moment that shook us to the core. My husband, a lifelong athlete and ultra-marathoner, came dangerously close to losing his life. What unfolded was a painful reminder of the importance of listening to our bodies and respecting their limits.

Over the years, my husband’s love for running had grown into an all-consuming obsession. He pushed his body to extremes, racing back-to-back ultra-marathons in grueling conditions. The warning signs were there: fatigue, a persistent headache, and difficulty recovering. But the drive to "do one more race" overshadowed them all.

After a particularly challenging race, his body broke down. Symptoms like vomiting, severe muscle pain, and extreme fatigue signaled something deeply wrong. Lab results confirmed the terrifying truth: rhabdomyolysis. His muscles were breaking down, flooding his bloodstream with toxins that his kidneys struggled to filter.

For two months, my once-unstoppable husband could barely care for himself. I watched as this bear of a man lost 20 pounds, struggled to swallow food, and battled constant pain. Sleepless nights, endless IV therapies, and careful monitoring became our new normal as I fought to keep him alive.

Six months later, he’s on the road to recovery, but life has changed. Simple joys like running with our dogs or enjoying Thanksgiving dinner are taken slowly. His stamina isn’t what it once was, and we’re still unsure about long-term impacts. But through it all, we’ve learned powerful lessons about balance, recovery, and the dangers of pushing too far.

Ladies, as you read this, I urge you to listen to your body. Health is not just about doing more or going harder; it’s about nourishing and caring for yourself. Let’s honor the strength of our bodies by giving them the care they deserve.

"Quit crying about it, or I'll give you something to cry about."

Many of us grew up hearing phrases like this, dismissing our emotions as if stress were just a fleeting feeling. But what if I told you stress is not just “in your head” but a full-body experience that impacts every system you rely on?

Stress is our body's natural response to challenges, releasing cortisol to help us react and adapt. But unlike squirrels or deer, humans don't just "shake it off" after the danger passes. Our brains can perceive stress from thoughts alone—whether reliving a past trauma, dreading an upcoming meeting, or imagining a worst-case scenario. And our bodies respond as if the threat is real.

Here’s how chronic stress shows up in the female body:

• Hormones Out of Balance: Stress disrupts cortisol, leading to fatigue, poor sleep, and even weight gain.
• Brain Fog: Stress shifts brain function, sidelining logical decision-making in favor of survival instincts.
• Digestive Distress: Enzymes and motility change, impacting nutrient absorption and gut health.
• Immune Dysfunction: Women are disproportionately diagnosed with autoimmune diseases—a likely connection to chronic stress.
• Emotional Eating: Under stress, your brain craves sugars and salts for quick energy, driving unhealthy cravings.

Our culture often pressures women to manage everyone else’s stress while ignoring their own. Is it any wonder so many women experience burnout, chronic fatigue, or unexplainable health symptoms?

The Good News:

You can rewire your response to stress. It starts with recognizing the signals your body sends and intentionally calming your nervous system. Tools like adaptogenic herbs (ashwagandha, maca, rhodiola - try this blend!) mindfulness practices, and even short meditations can work wonders.

Take it from one of my clients. She struggled with stress for over a decade, even after improving her diet and supplements. But when she committed to daily meditation, she lost over 5 pounds in just a few weeks—not because she ate less or exercised more, but because her body finally relaxed.

Stress is not "just a feeling." It's a cascade of physical responses that, left unchecked, can derail your health. The key is to give your body permission to REST.

Progesterone is your body’s natural balancer. It counteracts estrogen, helps you sleep better, improves your mood, regulates your cycle, and even supports bone health. It’s also key for the second half of your cycle (the luteal phase) and for overall balance and fertility.

But here’s the catch: you must ovulate to produce progesterone. Stress, nutrient deficiencies, or imbalanced cortisol can throw your system off, making ovulation harder — and your progesterone levels plummet.

This is where my Progesterobalance Tincture comes in. With natural, time-tested ingredients like Vitex, red raspberry leaf, and Damiana, this tincture supports your body to:

▶ Regulate your cycle ▶ Reduce PMS symptoms (goodbye, cramps and clots!) ▶ Improve mood and sleep ▶ Balance progesterone levels naturally

Whether you’re dealing with irregular cycles, perimenopause chaos, or just feeling off, this blend is a game-changer. And no — you’re not broken. Your body just needs the right support!

Estrogen is like the ugly step sister who gets blamed for everything, but actually it’s essential for women!

Yes, too much or too little will easily throw your body into a slew of uncomfortable symptoms, if you can get this hormone in balance, it can be a superpower.

Estrogen is a hormone primarily produced by the ovaries, although it’s also made in smaller amounts by fat cells, adrenal tissue, and even neural tissue. It plays a central role in:

• Puberty: Triggering the development of secondary sex characteristics.
• Menstrual Cycle: Building the uterine lining to support fertility.
• Bone Health: Supporting bone density and strength, essential for preventing osteoporosis.
• Muscle Repair: Aiding in muscle repair and building.
• Heart Health: Contributing to cardiovascular health by protecting blood vessels.
• Brain Function: Crossing the blood-brain barrier to influence neurotransmitter production and cognitive health.
• Skin, Hair, and Nails: Supporting the health of mucous membranes and connective tissues.

An imbalance in estrogen can lead to a variety of challenges:

• Estrogen Dominance: Common in conditions like PCOS, endometriosis, and fibroids, excess estrogen can lead to weight gain, insulin resistance, and hormonal disruptions.
• Low Estrogen Levels: Often caused by stress, restrictive eating, or menopause, this can result in low bone density, poor muscle recovery, and difficulty maintaining a healthy menstrual cycle.

Here’s a fascinating (and frustrating) fact: fat cells produce estrogen. For those with excess adipose tissue, this can create a cycle of estrogen dominance, which can be challenging to break. On the flip side, rapid weight loss can release stored estrogen from fat cells, temporarily disrupting your cycle and causing symptoms like heavy periods or cramping.

Let’s balance that estrogen:

1. Nutritional Support: Seed cycling and eating for your cycle can help regulate estrogen levels month after month.
2. Herbal Tinctures: Incorporating Eastern medicine herbs like estrogen-balancing tinctures during the first two weeks of your cycle and progesterone-supportive tinctures during the second two weeks can be game-changing.
3. Liver and Gut Health: Your liver and gut are responsible for processing and eliminating excess estrogen. A nutrient-rich diet and staying hydrated can support these pathways.
4. Stress Management: Chronic stress can disrupt hormone production. Practices like yoga, meditation, and adequate sleep can keep your hormones in check.

Hormones like estrogen don’t operate in isolation. They’re part of a dance with other hormones, like progesterone, which counterbalances estrogen. When your body’s cycle is supported, magic happens: regular cycles, easier weight management, and improved overall health.

You may not be familiar with adrenal fatigue, but you probably know what it’s like to experience extreme fatigue that no amount of coffee can fix.

Adrenal fatigue doesn’t develop overnight. It’s often the result of years of chronic stress, which can come from:

Trauma: Physical injuries, overexertion from exercise, or illness.

Toxins: Environmental pollutants, chemicals in cleaning products, or imbalances in your body such as high histamine levels.

Thoughts: Mental stressors like anxiety, overthinking, or unresolved conflicts.

You can actually test for adrenal fatigue! My favorite diagnostic tool is the DUTCH test (Dried Urine Test for Comprehensive Hormones), which measures free and bioavailable cortisol.

Repeat after me, “I’m not crazy. I’m not lazy. It’s my hormones.”

Here’s what you can do to help:

1. Nutrition: Focus on nourishing your body with adequate protein, vitamins, and minerals. Chronic stress depletes your reserves, so replenishment is crucial.
2. Adaptogens: Herbs like ashwagandha, maca, rhodiola, and reishi can help regulate your stress response by balancing cortisol levels.
3. Sleep: Prioritize quality rest. Consistent sleep is vital for repairing your HPA axis. If your lifestyle involves irregular hours (like night shifts), it may require adjustments.
4. Stress Management: While it’s easier said than done, finding ways to lower mental stress—through mindfulness, therapy, or support groups—can make a big difference.
5. Customized Support: Personalized supplements or tinctures may be recommended based on your test results.

Think of it as refueling a car running on empty; you need to fill the tank completely before expecting optimal performance.

If you think you are struggling with stress and cortisol issues, I’d love to help.

Ahhh the high protein craze - How much protein do women really need every day?

Let’s talk about it! Plus, I’ll share my own protein routine and how I manage to consistently meet my protein goals (even with a busy life).

Here’s the truth: as women, especially during hormonal transitions like pregnancy, menopause, or high-stress periods, we need MORE protein to thrive.

A common starting point is to aim for 1 gram of protein per pound of ideal body weight, but this still might need some tweaks. Your needs may be higher if you’re:

• Highly active or strength training
• Going through menopause (more on this in a bit)
• Recovering from illness or high stress

Example: If you’re 5’2” and 120 pounds (or that’s your goal), 100–120 grams of protein per day is a good range. For women in menopause, your baseline may increase—what worked pre-menopause might not cut it anymore.

My Daily Protein Routine I’m 6’2”, moderately active, and aiming to build muscle. Here’s what my day looks like to hit my goal of 170 grams of protein: (My range is anywhere from 170-190 grams)

1. Breakfast:

   • Four eggs cooked in butter or avocado oil
   • Toast with peanut butter & hemp seeds
   • ~30 grams of protein

   • Mid-Morning Snack:

   • Protein shake with 24 grams of protein

   • Grass-fed collagen (adds 14 grams)
   • ~40 grams total

   • Lunch:

   • A can of tuna

   • Side salad or veggies with cottage cheese
   • ~40 grams

   • Snack Options:

   • Greek yogurt with berries and honey (18–24 grams per serving)

   • A plant-based protein bar (20 grams)

   • Dinner:

   • Lean protein like venison, chicken, or fish

   • Veggies and a side (e.g., sweet potatoes)
   • ~40 grams

During menopause, your body requires more protein to maintain muscle mass, bone health, and metabolism. For instance, if you previously thrived on 100 grams daily, your new baseline might be 120 grams. Don’t skimp here!

Let’s boost it! * Protein pace: Eat protein every 2–3 hours. * Use shakes or bars to fill gaps when cooking isn’t an option. * Prep protein-rich foods like hard-boiled eggs, Greek yogurt, or cottage cheese.

It doesn’t have to be overwhelming - start by increasing your protein intake at one meal or snack each day and watch how your energy and strength improve.

If you or someone in your life has ADHD you know it’s like marching to the beat of your own drum.

As someone diagnosed at 16 (rare in the ‘90s), I’ve worked hard to implement and discover natural solutions for managing ADHD.

ADHD is often misunderstood, especially in women. While boys are traditionally diagnosed for being disruptive, girls can exhibit subtler signs, like “spacing out” or daydreaming. Your brain isn’t broken; it simply works differently.

This mindset shift has been huge for me!

Here are some lifestyle changes I recommend:

• Physical Activity: Movement fuels focus. Daily exercise—even as simple as a walk—can significantly improve concentration.
• Sleep Hygiene: Quality sleep is essential for brain recovery. Sleep deprivation hits harder for those with ADHD.
• Nutrition: Prioritize protein and healthy fats to stabilize energy levels and support neurotransmitter production.
• Caffeine with Purpose: For many, a small dose of caffeine can actually enhance focus, especially during challenging phases of the menstrual cycle.

People with ADHD excel in short bursts of productivity. Build a schedule that includes:

• Brain Breaks: Alternate between focused work and rest. Even a 10-minute walk or meditation can reset your mind.
• Flexible Workspaces: If you can, design your environment to minimize distractions and suit your energy flow.

ADHD symptoms fluctuate with hormonal changes, especially during the menstrual cycle. Understanding your cycle and aligning your tasks with high-energy phases can make a huge difference. For example:

• Follicular Phase (Days 1–14): Higher estrogen supports focus. Use this phase for detail-oriented work.
• Luteal Phase (Days 15–28): With higher progesterone, energy may dip, making simpler tasks or creative work a better fit.

Check Your Dopamine Levels ADHD often ties back to dopamine deficiency. Simple steps to boost dopamine include:

• Engaging in activities that bring you joy.
• Exploring natural supplements, like adaptogenic herbs, to support adrenal health.

Managing ADHD naturally is about tailoring your lifestyle to your brain’s needs. It’s a journey of trial and error, but the rewards—a focused, fulfilling life—are well worth it.

It’s the time of year that we are bombarded with ads, discounts and products, and wellness trends are no exception!

So how do you decide which ones are worth your time and investment?

Here are some science-backed tools that actually work.

1. Sauna Therapy A sauna—or heat therapy—has been used for centuries for its incredible health benefits, from improving circulation to enhancing recovery. Starting slow is key: if you’re new, begin with low temperatures (e.g., 110°F for 5 minutes) and gradually increase. Regular sauna sessions can:

2. Help with detoxification.

3. Soothe muscle and joint pain.
4. Improve sleep by supporting body temperature regulation.

Whether you use a traditional sauna or a red-light sauna, the benefits can be life-changing. Bonus: pair it with a hot bath for a sleep-enhancing routine.

1. Cold Therapy Cold plunges and showers are trending, but proceed with care—especially if you have thyroid or adrenal issues. Cold therapy boosts circulation, immune health, and metabolic function, but jumping into extremes can do more harm than good. Start small:

2. End your shower with cool water for 10–20 seconds.

3. Gradually build tolerance before considering ice baths.

For women, balance is key: avoid excessive cold exposure, especially if you’re working on hormone health or fertility.

1. Gua Sha Gua sha tools have been used for thousands of years in Eastern medicine to improve lymphatic drainage, reduce tension, and enhance scar tissue healing. While social media hypes gua sha for sculpting the jawline, its real power lies in its therapeutic benefits.

2. Red Light Therapy Struggling to get enough sunlight? Red light therapy mimics the benefits of natural light, supporting:

3. Reduced inflammation.

4. Improved skin health.
5. Cellular repair and energy production.

Invest in a high-quality device, and use it consistently. It’s an upfront cost, but over time, it pays off for the entire family—even pets!

1. Sound Therapy While newer on the wellness radar, sound therapy—including singing bowls and frequency machines—has ancient roots. These tools:

2. Help calm the nervous system.

3. Support vagus nerve stimulation.
4. Promote relaxation and mental clarity.

Perfect for grounding during stressful times, sound therapy offers a holistic way to reset your system.

As a female health practitioner I often get asked, "What’s YOUR current supplement routine?" Well, here it is—a breakdown of what I’m currently using to support my health, hormones, and overall wellness.

I recently completed an updated DUTCH hormone test (results pending—stay tuned for an update!), but for now, this is my baseline regimen:

Daily

1. AdrenalBalance Tincture (Once daily, sometimes twice):

   • Why I use it: Helps manage stress and keeps my system regulated during life’s busy moments.
   • Key Ingredients: Ashwagandha, maca, rhodiola, reishi, kava kava, and valerian—designed for balance, not sedation.
   • Bonus: I double up on stressful days to stay grounded.

   • Cycle-Specific Tinctures:

   • EstroBalance: Supports estrogen regulation during days 1–14 of my cycle.

   • ProgesteroBalance: Promotes warmth and hormonal support during days 15–28, featuring cayenne for a warming effect.
   • How I use them: A single dose under the tongue, timed with my cycle.

Seasonal supplements * Beef Liver Capsules: A nutrient powerhouse packed with natural vitamins and minerals. * Vitamin D: A winter must-have for mood, immune support, and overall vitality (hello, Minnesota winters!).

For Better Sleep (When Needed) * Sleep Support Tincture: + Why I love it: Combines hops flower, lemon balm, valerian, and chamomile to help me wind down naturally—no melatonin needed. + How I use it: A small dose before bed, adjusting as needed for the perfect relaxation level.

Workout-Specific Support * Creatine (Pre-workout): Supports lean muscle building and recovery. * Branched-Chain Amino Acids (Post-workout): Essential for rebuilding muscle tissue, boosting metabolism, and improving energy.

Why Tinctures? I’ve streamlined my routine to avoid the overwhelm of popping 20+ pills daily (been there, done that). Tinctures offer:

• Customizable dosing.
• Easy absorption.
• Minimal hassle!

This simple yet effective routine keeps me feeling my best. I’ll share updates once my DUTCH test results come in and my protocol shifts!

P.S. Keep an eye out for some big holiday discounts coming next week! If you’re unsure where to start, I’m happy to help. 😊

There’s a lot of buzz about “Nature’s Ozempic” lately. Let’s talk about it!

Ozempic, a GLP-1 receptor agonist, mimics a hormone your body naturally produces to regulate appetite, blood sugar, and digestion. It’s effective for many people, but it’s not a cure-all. Once you stop using it, you might find yourself back at square one unless your body is equipped to maintain those benefits on its own.

While there’s no single “Nature’s Ozempic,” there are ways to support your body in naturally optimizing GLP-1 production and improving your metabolism.

• Focus on Gut Health: Your gut is central to metabolic health, nutrient absorption, and detoxification. Here’s how to nurture it:
• Increase Fiber Intake: Fiber acts as a prebiotic, feeding the good bacteria in your gut. Aim for fiber-rich foods like vegetables, fruits, legumes, and whole grains.
• Add Probiotics and Fermented Foods: Yogurt, kimchi, sauerkraut, or a high-quality probiotic can help maintain a healthy gut microbiome.
• Test for Sensitivities: Food sensitivities can wreak havoc on your gut. A simple test can help identify triggers (like almonds for one of my clients!) and reduce inflammation.
• Manage Inflammation: Chronic inflammation can impair your gut and metabolic health.
• Boost Protein Intake: Protein is essential for muscle maintenance, metabolism, and satiety. Ensure every meal includes a healthy source like lean meats, eggs, tofu, or legumes.
• Test and Target: One of the best tools I recommend is the DUTCH test. It evaluates not only your hormone levels but also adrenal function, cortisol patterns, and gut health markers. This personalized approach helps you uncover underlying issues and make focused, effective changes.

What About Supplements Like Berberine? Berberine, a plant-based compound, is often compared to medications like metformin for its effects on blood sugar regulation. While it’s helpful for some—especially women with PCOS—it doesn’t necessarily cause extreme weight loss.

Many women I’ve worked with have used GLP-1 medications, only to regain weight or face metabolic challenges after stopping.

If you’re ready to take control, start with the basics: gut health, inflammation management, and nutrient support. And if you haven’t had a DUTCH test or it’s been a while, now’s the time to get one.

65% of women use contraception.

Many of us are not informed about the actual side effects of taking birth control - here’s what I wish I’d known:

I started taking the pill as a teenager and stayed on it for a decade. At the time, I was a competitive athlete with aspirations of playing professional volleyball. What I didn’t realize then was how the pill significantly changed my body. Studies suggest that birth control can reduce athletic performance by around 11%—a statistic that would’ve made a huge difference for me.

The pill’s primary function is to prevent ovulation, which means your body doesn’t produce progesterone naturally. Instead, it relies on synthetic hormones, effectively placing your ovaries into “hibernation.” While this prevents pregnancy, it also disrupts the natural hormonal rhythms of the body.

Many people mistake the withdrawal bleed during the pill-free week for a period—it’s not. It’s a reaction to the lack of hormones, not a sign that things are healthy.

Here are some other side effects:

• Weight gain or resistance to weight loss
• Mood swings, anxiety, or depression
• Gut disruption and bloating
• Headaches and inflammation

One common misconception is that the pill can “balance” hormones.

It actually has the opposite effect: masking underlying issues rather than addressing them.

Birth control is deeply personal. While I wouldn’t put my daughters on the pill knowing what I know now, I believe in empowering women to make the best choices for their unique circumstances.

Whether you’re seeking to prevent pregnancy or address hormonal concerns, education and self-advocacy are your best tools.

If you’re curious about your own hormonal health or want to explore alternatives, let’s talk. A DUTCH test can be an excellent starting point to uncover what your hormone levels are doing and give you roadmap for your health and hormones.

1 in 10 women deal with endometriosis.

Endometriosis occurs when tissue similar to the endometrial lining inside the uterus grows outside it, often attaching to organs like the bladder, intestines, or muscle tissue. This tissue is estrogen-sensitive, which can cause inflammation, pain, and other symptoms, especially around your period.

Here are some of my tools for natural endometriosis relief:

Daily Red Light Therapy Using red light therapy daily is a powerful anti-inflammatory tool. Red light helps stimulate blood flow and reduce inflammation. Consistent, daily use of a quality red light device can offer ongoing relief. Look for a wireless, therapeutic-grade device that can wrap around your abdomen or lower back.

Dry Brushing for Lymphatic Movement Dry brushing around the abdomen stimulates lymphatic flow, which can reduce bloating and discomfort. Moving lymph fluid helps clear out excess estrogen, which is often linked to symptom flare-ups.

Acupuncture, Massage, and Chiropractic Care

Acupuncture, massage, and chiropractic adjustments release tension, relieve pain, and enhance circulation. These therapies help manage endometriosis symptoms by targeting the nervous system and muscles, aiding the body in regulating pain responses.

Anti-Inflammatory Supplements Supplements like ginger, curcumin, Boswellia, and devil's claw are highly anti-inflammatory and support pain management. Consider blends such as Inflamese Plus, which combines these ingredients to support the body in addressing pain and inflammation, particularly beneficial for endometriosis.

https://113022.nutridyn.com/inflam-eze-plus-infep

1. Dietary Adjustments to Reduce Inflammation Endometriosis symptoms can worsen with inflammation, so eliminating processed foods, reducing alcohol intake, and cutting down on sugars can be beneficial. Opting for an anti-inflammatory diet, rich in whole foods, healthy fats, and leafy greens, can help regulate hormone levels and minimize monthly flare-ups.

2. Hormone Balance with Dutch Testing Monitoring and managing your estrogen and progesterone levels is crucial in managing endometriosis. High estrogen levels can worsen symptoms, so keeping a close eye on hormone health through DUTCH testing is key.

3. Stress Management Stress has a direct impact on inflammation and hormone levels. Find daily practices to reduce stress — whether through deep breathing, mindfulness, setting boundaries or gentle movement — helps prevent symptom flare-ups.

Meet Jessica, a dedicated crossfit instructor and mom of young children.

Jessica noticed her energy plummeted, and her usual workout routines became a struggle. She began to dread the physical toll of teaching and she was caught in the frustrating cycle that so many women experience—despite doing everything “right,” her body seemed to be working against her.

Jessica came to me because calorie counting and exercise were no longer cutting it - and that’s where hormone-focused nutrition came in. Through a DUTCH test—a comprehensive hormone analysis—we saw some BIG issues that needed to be addressed. Her cortisol was a mess, estrogen too high and some high androgens as well.

We immediately got to work with supplements, adjusting and add more nutrition and changing her workout schedule.

Within weeks, Jessica began to feel a shift. Her energy improved dramatically and she was able to make it through training sessions again. Jessica’s confidence blossomed and she started looking forward to her classes again. She noticed her students’ engagement improved, her class sizes grew, and she began to feel like herself once more. She even saw a financial boost as her classes filled up!

Are you dealing with similar issues? It’s time to take a look at your hormones.

Imagine how much more you could do, how much more you could enjoy life, with the energy you need at every stage of your day. If you've felt frustrated, exhausted, or unsure why your hard work isn’t paying off, let’s focus on your hormones.

PCOS almost ruined my life.

My journey with PCOS began under intense stress and years of hormonal birth control use. I used the pill for almost a decade, thinking it was harmless—like many of us do.

After a while, my body started to react. I was having irregular bleeding (three times a month!) and didn't know if I was even ovulating. I decided to make some big shifts in my diet and lifestyle, starting grad school, going gluten-free, and learning about nutrition for the female body.

I also had three children in rapid succession, which further taxed my body. My youngest was born premature, and stress skyrocketed as I juggled being a new mom, running a business, and healing from postpartum complications.

Before I knew it, I was in constant pain, plagued by ovarian cysts that would burst, leaving me debilitated.

PCOS pain was like nothing else. I’d broken bones, had surgeries, and given birth three times, but nothing compared to the agony of a cyst rupturing.

Even though I went to doctors, all I heard was, "It’s just a cyst; your body will handle it."

The advice was limited to pain management or getting back on birth control, but I knew I needed more than that—I needed answers.

Through my research and education, I learned about eating in sync with my hormones and my cycle, and this was the key that changed everything. By supporting each phase of my menstrual cycle with warming and cooling foods, I was able to reduce inflammation, balance my hormones, and regulate my cycle. For example:

• Warming Foods: I prioritized these during certain parts of my cycle to support progesterone levels, reduce bloating, and stabilize mood.
• Cooling Foods: I turned to these during estrogen-heavy phases, which helped balance symptoms and keep things regular.

I began to see results, not overnight, but steadily. The intense cyst pain started to fade, and eventually, the cysts stopped forming altogether. I WAS SO RELIEVED—finally, a natural solution that worked with my body, not against it.

The real breakthroughs came when I tailored my approach even further with personalized hormone testing. I took a DUTCH test to get a complete view of my hormone health, helping me understand which nutrients and lifestyle adjustments were best suited to my body.

Instead of guessing and wasting time (and money!) on the wrong supplements, I got clarity and real results.

If you’re struggling with PCOS or any other hormone-related issue, I know it can feel isolating and frustrating.

You don’t have to go through this alone. In my program, I guide women through these same steps I used— aligning diet with your cycle, using targeted supplements, and understanding the power of personalized hormone testing.

You’ll not only get one-on-one support, but you’ll also join a group of women who understand exactly what you’re going through. Together, we’ll work toward the same goal: eliminating symptoms from the root cause and taking control of your body and your health.

Did you know that you can hydrate through your food?

We often think of hydration as guzzling bottles of water. But it’s not the only way! In fact, relying solely on water can sometimes create issues if it dilutes your stomach acids, which are necessary for proper digestion. Instead, consider how foods can offer hydration while providing vitamins and minerals.

Here’s a breakdown of how to add these hydrating foods throughout your cycle:

Follicular Phase (Days 1-14) During the follicular phase, your energy naturally rises, and you might find yourself drawn to fresh, light foods. Hydrating foods like cucumbers, celery, and strawberries provide that boost, helping keep you hydrated without feeling bloated or waterlogged.

Ovulatory Phase (Days 14-16) In the ovulatory phase, your body temperature slightly increases. This is a great time to bring in foods with high water content, like watermelon and peaches, to cool down while staying hydrated. These fruits are also a fantastic way to satisfy your sweet cravings without added sugar.

Luteal Phase (Days 16-28) As your body prepares for menstruation, you may crave something more substantial. Tomatoes, bell peppers, and berries are fantastic additions to meals or snacks. They offer hydration along with antioxidants, helping ease any premenstrual symptoms and reducing bloating.

Menstrual Phase During menstruation, focus on gentle hydration to support your system as it loses fluids. Foods like soups, bone broths, and herbal teas are soothing and hydrating, helping your body stay balanced without overwhelming it. Bone broth, for instance, adds minerals to your system, which can support your hydration levels and energy.

Here are some top hydrating foods to enjoy throughout your cycle:

1. Watermelon: One of the most hydrating foods, watermelon is over 90% water. It’s perfect for rehydrating after exercise or a hot day.
2. Cucumbers: Add them to salads or enjoy them with a sprinkle of salt for an easy mineral boost.
3. Tomatoes: Another food high in water content, tomatoes pair well with a bit of salt for added flavor and hydration.
4. Peaches, Plums, and Berries: These fruits offer hydration along with antioxidants and are easy to add to any meal.
5. Leafy Greens: Romaine lettuce and spinach contain a high percentage of water and are versatile for salads, smoothies, or side dishes.

Hydration isn’t a “one-size-fits-all,” especially for women. By understanding how food can help hydrate, you support your body’s natural rhythms and provide hydration that lasts. If you’ve been feeling sluggish, try adding more hydrating foods and watch how it can make a difference!

Doctors told her she was a lost cause.

Sabrina is in her late 30s, a busy working mom of two. A fulfilling career, a happy family, and an active lifestyle - and yet, her health began to crumble.

It started with fatigue. At first, she could push through, but soon, her energy plummeted. Her workouts left her feeling worse, not better. Then the hair loss began, followed by mood swings and irritability. She blamed stress, life changes, and kept pushing forward.

Sound familiar?

Then came the perfect storm.

• Family stress: Issues in her marriage and drama after the passing of a distant relative.
• Career stress: Fear of layoffs at her job.
• Pandemic chaos: Managing work-from-home, homeschooling her children, and her husband’s sudden job loss.

She kept going, holding everything together as so many women do. But her hormones told a different story.

Her primary care doctor ran tests and told her everything was “normal.” Her concerns were brushed off as stress, and she was told to relax and maybe try yoga or massages. She followed the advice. Nothing improved.

She tried two more doctors—same story. Each time, the message was the same: “You’re fine. Maybe it’s in your head.” One even suggested seeing a therapist. But she knew deep down this wasn’t just stress or mental health—something was off.

“I know I’m not crazy!”

After years of no answers, she found one of my YouTube videos about hormone imbalances. Determined to feel better, she decided to try something new—a DUTCH test and the 12 Week Female Hormone Solution program. This urine-based hormone test goes deeper than standard blood work, showing some major underlying issues.

The results were like a floodgate opening.

• Cortisol depletion explained her constant fatigue.
• Low androgens and testosterone contributed to her muscle loss, low stamina, and hair thinning.
• Imbalanced estrogen & progesterone were behind her weight gain, mood swings, and lack of motivation.

We immediately implemented a personalized plan focused on restoring her hormones. Within just a few months, she noticed a massive shift:

• More energy—she no longer dragged through the day.
• Better mood—her kids even commented that “Mom is happier!”
• Physical progress—workouts felt good again, and she started seeing weight loss results.
• Reduced inflammation—friends and family noticed her glowing skin and lighter presence.

“I feel like myself again. I can’t believe I wasted so much time being dismissed by doctors.”

If you’re tired of being told “you’re fine” when you know you’re not, it’s time to take control. The right test and personalized support can make all the difference.

Is your sleep inconsistent throughout the month?

It’s your hormones!

Sleep Patterns Across the Menstrual Cycle * Follicular Phase (Day 1 to Ovulation)

Estrogen rises: Many women report sleeping well during this phase, especially in the days leading up to ovulation (around Day 12-14).

Benefits: Estrogen supports deeper sleep cycles and fewer nighttime awakenings, though it’s not directly calming.

• Ovulation (Around Day 14)

Estrogen peaks, followed by a slight dip. Some women experience sleep disturbances during this transition.

• Luteal Phase (Post-Ovulation to Period)

High progesterone: Progesterone can promote relaxation by stimulating GABA, a neurotransmitter that aids sleep.

The challenge: If your progesterone-estrogen balance is off, you might struggle with sleep, especially around Days 19-25. Some women feel too hot or too cold during sleep due to the effect of progesterone on body temperature regulation.

Common symptoms: Waking up frequently or difficulty falling back asleep.

• Premenstrual Phase (Days 25-28)

Hormones drop: As estrogen and progesterone levels fall, sleep disturbances can peak for many women. If this sounds familiar, it may be a sign of hormonal imbalance.

Try this to track your sleep patterns:

• Use a simple journal or app: Record how easily you fall asleep, how often you wake up, and how rested you feel each morning.
• Look for patterns: Notice if your sleep changes at specific points in your cycle. This can reveal underlying hormonal imbalances.

If your sleep feels off, it could point to hormonal imbalances. Here are some tips:

• Natural sleep aids: Herbs like valerian root, chamomile, lemon balm, and passionflower can calm the nervous system.
• Tackle hormone imbalance directly: Adjusting estrogen and progesterone levels can improve sleep. DUTCH hormone testing is a great place to start!
• Avoid relying on melatonin: While it can be helpful short-term, overuse might interfere with your body’s natural production.

Remember, improving sleep is about more than just one night—it’s about finding balance over time. By focusing on both hormone health and sleep routine, many women see improvements not just in rest but also in energy, mood, and metabolism.

Small changes like using weighted blankets, blocking light with sleep masks, or winding down with herbal tinctures can make a big difference. For women who struggle with insomnia, you need a long term strategy, not just quick fixes.

If you’re interested in learning more, the waitlist is open for a limited time to my 12 week Hormone Solution program, which offers customized hormone solutions, a comprehensive hormone protocol and coaching support.

You’re hot, you’re cold, you’re tired, you feel old.

Welcome to Menopause.

Here’s the thing, you don’t have to just “deal with it.” There are practical ways to address these issues, so you can feel good—not just survive, but thrive—through this phase of life.

Here’s a look at the 10 most common menopause symptoms and how to improve them.

1. Hot Flashes & Night Sweats Fluctuations in estrogen often lead to those sudden waves of heat. But night sweats can be especially disruptive for your sleep.

What can help:

• Cut down on sugars and alcohol, especially in the evening.
• Eat more protein at night to fuel your body’s repair processes while you sleep.

• Use hormone assessments like the DUTCH test to fine-tune your hormone balance.

• Irregular Periods Periods can become wildly unpredictable during perimenopause—sometimes disappearing for months, then returning.

What can help:

• Seed cycling and tinctures (like my progesterone and estrogen balance formulas) help regulate your cycle.

• Support hormone fluctuations by aligning your lifestyle with your body’s changing needs.

• Vaginal Dryness Lower estrogen levels can make vaginal tissues thinner and drier, causing discomfort. But it’s not just estrogen—androgens (like testosterone) also play a role. What can help:

• Address adrenal and cortisol imbalances, which deplete androgen levels.

• Consider using natural oils or yoni oils for temporary relief.

• Tailor hormone support through a DUTCH test to optimize your levels.

• Mood Swings & Irritability Anxiety, depression, and sudden mood shifts often go hand-in-hand with fluctuating hormones. What can help:

• Check for cortisol imbalances and nutrient deficiencies that may impact emotional health.

• Herbs and adaptogens can ease mood swings—great tools to have while your body adjusts.

• Sleep Disturbances Difficulty falling or staying asleep is frustrating—and estrogen and progesterone both play roles in regulating sleep.

What can help:

• Use nutrient-rich sleep tinctures (that don’t rely on melatonin).

• Get a DUTCH test to check cortisol and melatonin levels, ensuring balanced sleep cycles.

• Brain Fog & Memory Issues Trouble focusing or forgetting things? These cognitive changes often stem from low androgen levels or prolonged stress.

What can help:

• Reduce stress and replenish depleted nutrients through diet and lifestyle changes.

• Focus on balancing cortisol and other hormones to sharpen mental clarity.

• Joint Pain & Muscle Stiffness Hormones like estrogen help manage inflammation, so their decline can lead to increased aches and pains. What can help:

• Reduce inflammation with proper nutrition, dry brushing, and red-light therapy.

• Check inflammatory markers through hormone tests and adjust your diet accordingly.

• Hair Thinning & Hair Loss As estrogen levels drop, hair may thin, and stress only worsens the problem by impairing cell renewal processes.

What can help:

• Focus on stress reduction to protect hair health.

• Ensure you get plenty of protein, zinc, and other key nutrients to support keratin production.

• Skin Changes & Wrinkles Estrogen helps maintain collagen production, but lower levels contribute to thinner, less elastic skin. What can help:

• Rebuild collagen with nutrients and healthy lifestyle practices.

• Manage oxidative stress with antioxidant-rich foods and proper hormone support.

• Bone Loss The decline in estrogen makes women more prone to bone density loss, but resistance training offers a powerful solution. What can help:

• Incorporate strength training—even simple exercises like wall push-ups can make a big difference.

• Focus on key nutrients like vitamin D, magnesium, zinc, and protein to build strong bones.
• Remember: Wolf’s Law tells us that pressure (like from weight training) strengthens bones!

Now, here’s the truth. You probably will feel positive change right away, but fully addressing the hormone levels is often a 12 week commitment.

That’s why I’m running another 12 Week Female Hormone Solution cohort.

When you understand your unique hormonal needs, everything changes.

Are you always drinking water and still thirsty?

You don’t need more water, you need BETTER water.

I’m talking about minerals & electrolytes!

You might think, "Aren’t electrolytes just for athletes or people chugging sports drinks?" Nope! These essential minerals play a vital role in your muscle function, metabolism, stress response, and hormonal health.

Electrolytes like magnesium, potassium, calcium, and sodium are involved in so much more than just hydration. Here’s a breakdown of what they do:

• Muscle & Nerve Function: Ever had those annoying foot or leg cramps? That’s often a sign of low magnesium, not just potassium. Electrolytes help your muscles and nerves function smoothly, preventing cramps and tension.
• Heart Health & Blood Pressure: Electrolytes like magnesium regulate heart function and blood pressure. Your heart beats efficiently when these minerals are in balance.
• Metabolism Support: Without enough electrolytes, your metabolism can slow down, even if you’re eating clean and exercising. That’s why you could be doing “all the right things” but still feel off.
• Hormone Health: If you have a period, each cycle naturally depletes your body’s mineral stores. Stress (which many of us face regularly) can further drain minerals like magnesium, calcium, and zinc—key nutrients your body relies on.

Women’s bodies have unique needs throughout different phases of the cycle. For example:

• During the luteal phase (days 15–28): Your body naturally craves more minerals. If you enjoy activities like hot yoga, you’ll likely need to supercharge your hydration with electrolytes to prevent headaches or fatigue.
• Menstrual Phase: During your period, your system undergoes a major nutrient turnover. If you’re not replenishing electrolytes and minerals, you might feel more drained than necessary.

The standard daily mineral recommendations are based on male physiology, which means many women are unknowingly under-supplementing. This is why you need to listen to your body and adjust your intake based on your stress levels, activity, and where you are in your cycle.

If you're tired of feeling depleted and want to understand how to optimize your hormones, energy, and metabolism, then it’s time to join the 12-Week Female Hormone Solution! This is my super comprehensive hormone overhaul that helps women tune into their cycles, adjust nutrition, and learn how to stay ahead of these nutrient gaps.

🌿You can expect to feel:

• More energy
• Motivation and less brain fog
• Reduced PMS and hormone symptoms
• Regulated cycles
• Positive changes in body composition and weight
• Better mood and positivity
• Clearer skin
• Positive changes in hormone levels

The bottom line? Hormone balance is essential for improving your life. Staying on top of your levels helps you feel strong, balanced, and energized no matter what life throws at you.

Stop doing these five things!

You are sabotaging your metabolism and draining your energy dry.

1️⃣ Ignoring Your Body’s Signals You know that random pain or nagging headache you dismiss as “nothing”? Guess what? Your body never acts without a reason. Whether it’s joint pain or hormonal discomfort, your body is speaking—listen.

Women, in particular, experience varying pain sensitivities depending on their menstrual cycle or stage of life (hello, perimenopause!). Pretending these signals don’t exist will only leave you exhausted and depleted over time.

💡 Reset Tip: Pay attention to pain and fatigue. Rest when your body needs it, and don’t push through discomfort.

2️⃣ Eating the Same Every Day Are you eating the same meals, day in and day out? This strategy works for men but not for women. Our bodies shift throughout the month—nutritional needs increase in the luteal phase (weeks 3-4), especially for calories, fats, and proteins. If you’re eating the same way you did in your 20s or pre-kids, it may no longer serve you now.

💡 Reset Tip: Adjust your nutrition based on your hormonal cycle. Add more protein in your 30s, 40s, and beyond to support metabolic health.

3️⃣ Restricting Calories and Nutrients Cutting calories to lose weight? That old strategy mostly results in muscle loss and frustration. Muscle loss slows your metabolism, making it even harder to maintain energy and burn fat. Your body isn’t just looking for calories—it needs nutrients to function optimally.

💡 Reset Tip: Focus on long-term muscle maintenance and nourishment, not deprivation. Build muscle gradually for sustained energy and health.

4️⃣ Skipping Sleep to Work Out Pushing yourself to the gym on little sleep might seem productive, but it actually backfires. Sacrificing sleep leads to exhaustion, muscle breakdown, and a slower metabolism. Quality sleep helps your body repair and build strength. If your life is chaotic (three kids anyone? 🙋‍♀️), find creative ways to incorporate movement rather than forcing yourself through exhausting workouts.

💡 Reset Tip: Prioritize sleep. If you can’t get to the gym, fit in two resistance training sessions per week—one for upper and one for lower body.

5️⃣ Not Taking Mental Breaks Ladies, let’s talk about mental overload. From managing family schedules to meeting work demands, the pressure to be “on” all day long is draining your nervous system. Your metabolism is directly tied to stress levels, so slowing down isn’t weak—it’s necessary. Finding joy in hobbies, reading, or even a 10-minute walk can help your system reset and bring your energy back.

💡 Reset Tip: Give yourself permission to rest and engage in activities you love. Mental breaks will recharge both your body and metabolism.

To help you turn things around quickly, I’ve got a FREE 5-day reset challenge NEXT WEEK! 🚀

If you’ve felt stuck in your body, struggled with hormonal shifts, or wondered why your energy crashes, this is the perfect opportunity to reset and start fresh. It’s simple, fun, and designed specifically for the female body.

Deep breath...

You’re running on empty. An off-hand comment from your husband or the thought of one more pizza night sends you into a spiral.

It’s one of the HARDEST parts of modern womanhood - the overstimulation, hormone swings, fatigue, overload, parenting, etc.

Yup, you’ve got HORMONAL BURNOUT.

And I'm going to help you get out.

That’s why I am hosting my FREE 5 Day Reset, The 5 Day Metabolism & Hormone Reset — a virtual training to make hormones = SUPER simplified for you!

A hormone reset brings you a fresh outlook on life - motivation for the future, ability to withstand the stress of your life and invest in the relationships around you. It also starts the path to loving your body (because who doesn’t want to feel good about themselves?)

The truth is, our bodies aren’t designed to handle the relentless stress we encounter today. Natural disasters, rising inflation, family crises, and everyday household tasks accumulate, leaving us emotionally and physically drained. The problem? When stress becomes chronic, your hormones—like cortisol, estrogen, and progesterone—get thrown out of balance.

And the kicker? Many women feel guilt for not “doing enough,” especially when they’re expected to keep the household running while juggling multiple crises.

Some of the most incredible transformations came from resetting my hormones.

Before I worked on my hormones, I almost blew up my whole life. A happy life and successful career later… I’m so glad I didn’t.

You’ve got a story to share, and yes—your hormones can become your biggest asset.

But don’t take my word for it—come hang out and learn in this free program.

Have you lost touch with your body?

It’s so easy in a world where we're frequently told to push through pain, ignore discomfort, and "suck it up.”

Think about this: how many times have you felt something was wrong, only to be told, "You're fine, you're just tired," or "That’s normal for women"? Maybe you experienced digestive issues, unbearable period pain, or chronic fatigue, but were made to feel like you were overreacting.

You might have even started to question yourself, wondering if it was all in your head.

I want you to know, it’s not.

It’s time to reconnect with your body. To listen to it and trust what it's telling you. The pain, the fatigue, the discomfort—these are all signals from your body trying to communicate with you.

Here's the truth: Your body never does anything without a reason. And you owe it to yourself to start listening.

One of the most powerful tools in regaining trust in your body is data. Hormone tests like the Dutch test or GI mapping can give you the black-and-white proof you need to validate your experiences. These tests show what’s really going on with your health.

Time and again, women tell me, “I don’t feel crazy anymore” after seeing their test results. You shouldn’t have to wait for outside validation, but when it’s been denied for so long, those numbers can provide the proof you need to advocate for yourself.

If you're curious about tools like hormone testing or are ready to start the journey of reconnecting with your body, I’m here to help.

Heartburn? Bloating? Uncontrollable gas?

Your gut is asking (YELLING) for help!

Gut health and hormone health are integrated and if you are dealing with digestive upset, it’s time to add some of the following supplements into your routine:

1. GI Integrity My absolute favorite supplement for gut health is GI Integrity. It’s packed with a blend of ingredients designed to support a healthy gastrointestinal tract. Whether you're recovering from a flare-up, experiencing bloating, or dealing with food sensitivities, this is a go-to for gut repair.

2. Apple Cider Vinegar Found at nearly any grocery store, Apple Cider Vinegar (ACV) is a simple, natural aid for digestion. Taken before meals, ACV can help increase stomach acidity, improving the breakdown of food and reducing bloating. It's a great way to give your digestion a little boost, especially after a heavy meal.

3. Activated Charcoal For those moments when you're dealing with excess gas or bloating, Activated Charcoal can be a lifesaver. It's been used for centuries to absorb excess gas and toxins from the digestive tract, providing relief from discomfort. However, be cautious not to take it with other supplements or medications as it can absorb those as well. A great way to use it? Take it at night, just before bed, and let it work its magic overnight.

4. Probiotics: The Good Bacteria A solid probiotic is essential for maintaining a balanced gut microbiome. A probiotic supplement adds beneficial bacteria to your system, helping with digestion, immunity, and even mood. While capsule forms are common, powder forms can be absorbed even more quickly. A good probiotic can help regulate bowel movements, reduce bloating, and improve overall digestive function.

5. Digestive Enzymes: Supporting Digestion Sometimes, the body needs a little help breaking down food, especially after heavy or complex meals. Digestive Enzymes can fill in the gaps by aiding the breakdown of fats, proteins, and carbohydrates, reducing bloating and indigestion. They’re great to take right before a meal to support your digestive system.

How to Use These Supplements Effectively Here are some quick tips for using these supplements:

• GI Integrity: Take as needed to repair the gut lining, especially after digestive flare-ups.
• Apple Cider Vinegar: Take before meals to help with food digestion.
• Activated Charcoal: Use at night when bloating is an issue, ensuring there’s no overlap with other supplements.
• Probiotics: Use daily to maintain a healthy gut flora.
• Digestive Enzymes: Take with meals to enhance digestion, particularly with complex or fatty foods.

You’re feeling stuck. Is it your circumstances or are you the problem?

Here’s the truth behind why you stay in the struggle:

Snag the FREE 12 shifts you have to make in order to achieve lasting change without fighting against yourself and falling back into old habits

1. The Stories You Tell Yourself We are the average of the five stories we tell ourselves most often. Think about it: what do you tell yourself daily? Is it, “I deserve this,” “I’m too stressed,” or “This one thing won’t hurt?” These stories shape your behavior, often without you even realizing it.

How to Break Free: The first step is awareness. Acknowledge the stories you tell yourself, then challenge them. Are they really true? Replace the old story with a more empowering one.

1. You’re Not Giving Your Brain Time to Help You Make Better Decisions Your frontal lobe, the part of the brain responsible for reasoning and decision-making, needs more time to engage than your reactive, impulsive mind. Too often, we act quickly, fueled by emotion or habit, without giving ourselves space to make conscious choices.

How to Break Free: Stop multitasking, especially in key moments of decision-making. Start small: stop bringing your phone into the bathroom, or leave it out of your child’s room during bedtime. Create space for your brain to fully engage.

1. You’re Focusing on the Wrong Thing First

Most people don’t start with the lead domino—the one change that makes everything else easier. Instead, they focus on the wrong thing in the wrong order. Maybe you’re trying to fix your diet while ignoring the deeper belief that “I’m too busy to cook healthy meals.”

How to Break Free: Identify your personal lead domino. What’s the root belief or habit that, if addressed, would make everything else easier?

Breaking the Cycle If you find yourself in these traps—chasing speed, picking the wrong strategies, or losing faith in yourself—there is hope. It all begins with a shift in mindset. Align your goals with what you're willing to sustain, make decisions that fit your ideal life, and rebuild confidence by committing to long-term change.

There’s one thing holding back your business. It’s not money.

It’s your beliefs.

I had expert business coach Aubrianna Kay on the podcast this week to share about the role of intuition and spirituality in the growth of your business.

Despite success in her field, a personal crisis involving a partner’s mental health led her to energy healing practices like Reiki, which eventually opened her to psychic work and intuitive development. Alongside her corporate job, she built a six-figure business on Instagram, helping others tap into their own intuition and healing capabilities.

When I asked about how she encourages clients to listen to their intuition, Aubrianna highlighted the importance of awareness. “Women, especially, are socialized to ignore our bodily wisdom. We’re taught to doubt ourselves, to think in data-driven terms rather than trusting how something feels.” Aubrianna’s approach involves helping women reconnect with their intuition, not just in life, but in business.

Aubrianna’s coaching now focuses on helping individuals integrate spiritual practices with business strategy. Whether it’s manifesting clients, aligning with your purpose, or understanding your intuitive gifts, Aubrianna is passionate about guiding others toward success that feels aligned and authentic.

Her advice for those feeling stuck in business or life? “Listen to your body, trust your intuition, and don’t be afraid to step out of the traditional boxes people put you in. You might just find the success and fulfillment you’ve been searching for.”

So, you’re trying to conceive. Or maybe you just really want to know what’s going on with your cycle.

Either way, tracking your hormones throughout the month will give you so MUCH INFORMATION about your health, fertility and symptoms.

I had an amazing conversation with Rose MacKenzie, Medical Affairs Specialist at Mira, to discuss the best way to track your cycle and fertility.

We often hear about the infamous 28-day cycle, but the reality is, our cycles are unique, and ovulation isn’t as predictable as we may think.

You are not fertile every day of the month. Pinpointing ovulation can be challenging without an accurate tracking system.

Mira is a modern fertility tracker that uses hormone testing to give you real-time insights into your cycle. Unlike traditional methods that might rely solely on temperature or symptoms, Mira tracks luteinizing hormone (LH) levels in your urine, giving you precise data about your ovulation. LH spikes right before ovulation, making it one of the most reliable markers for fertility.

The tracker syncs with an app, allowing you to monitor your results over time. This can be especially helpful if you have irregular cycles or conditions like PCOS, as Mira will track your unique hormone fluctuations instead of relying on the average 28-day cycle.

With this data, you'll be able to track your hormone levels throughout your cycle and identify trends. This is especially helpful for women who experience irregular cycles or have conditions like PCOS or endometriosis.

If you’ve been struggling with irregular cycles, unexplained symptoms, or just want to optimize your health, Mira is a powerful tool to have in your corner. It's time to take control of your fertility journey—get started today!

ADHD… it’s not just a buzzword and I would know.

Growing up as a neurodiverse child meant constantly feeling like I wasn’t measuring up, especially in traditional school environments. My family, particularly my older sister, was full of "smart" people, and I felt like the odd one out. I wasn’t bad at school, but it wasn’t until I was 16 that I was officially diagnosed with ADHD. Before that, I was missing questions on assignments simply because I couldn’t visually process them the same way others did.

One critical aspect of ADHD that often goes unnoticed is how hormones impact brain function. As women, our bodies are constantly cycling through hormonal changes—whether it’s the monthly menstrual cycle, pregnancy, or perimenopause—and each phase can significantly affect our focus, mental clarity, and emotional health.

For example, I noticed that during certain phases of my cycle, I would experience brain fog or decreased focus. My ability to stay on task would shift, and I had to be even more intentional about managing my diet, stress, and self-care.

My biggest breakthrough came when I went gluten-free at 23. I didn’t realize how much my diet was affecting my brain function until I made the switch. Suddenly, I felt clearer, more focused, and less scattered. It was a game-changer. From there, I became more intentional about supporting my brain health through nutrition and stress management.

If you feel like your brain is overwhelmed, start by changing your schedule. Sleep and stress management should be priorities. Shift your life so you’re not racing through every moment. It’s okay to say, “In two months, I’m going to give myself more space.” The world will keep turning without you constantly pushing it.

When it comes to diet, eliminating processed food, artificial ingredients, and especially gluten can make a world of difference. Gluten is strongly linked to brain inflammation, which can worsen ADHD symptoms. Instead of focusing on superfoods like blueberries, start with removing inflammatory foods first.

Finally, hormones play a significant role in how your brain functions. As women, our focus and energy levels can vary throughout our cycles. If you have a big project during your luteal phase (week 4), plan accordingly. Give yourself more space before and after intense tasks.

ADHD doesn’t mean there’s something wrong with you; it means you need different tools.

And remember, understanding yourself is a superpower.

One day you wake up and you’re 40 and the weight just piles on, even when you “do all the right things.” You’re not alone.

As we age, estrogen, progesterone, and cortisol levels shift, which affects your metabolism, fat storage, and overall energy levels. Most of us find that methods that worked in our 30s, or even just five years ago, are no longer effective.

Here’s the truth: without looking at your body’s hormonal profile, you could be addressing the wrong issue. A DUTCH test, which measures your hormones (estrogen, progesterone, testosterone, cortisol) and neurotransmitter levels, is one of the best ways to understand what’s happening inside your body.

I’ve seen women spend thousands on trainers, nutritionists, and programs without results because those approaches made assumptions without addressing the actual issues in their bodies. One of my clients was in this exact situation—$12,000 spent and more weight gained. It wasn’t until we did a DUTCH test and discovered nutrient deficiencies and severe cortisol dysregulation that she saw real progress.

What worked for her?

• Less exercise (yes, LESS!)
• Eating more than 1200 calories a day
• Targeted supplements based on her test results

It was uncomfortable for her at first because it went against everything she’d been told, but in the end, it made all the difference.

Remember, the key isn’t to push harder. It’s to work smarter by addressing what your body truly needs.

As the largest organ of our body, our skin doesn’t just reflect our inner health—it absorbs everything we expose it to, both the good and the bad. I had a fascinating conversation with Emily Rose, better known as Mama Wilder on social media, where we dug deep into the world of skincare and dangers of toxic chemicals.

Our skin is like a sponge, soaking up whatever we apply to it. We all know the risks of harmful chemicals like PFAS and toxins, which can easily enter our systems through the skin.

Parabens, for instance, are often used as preservatives but can mimic hormones and even contribute to early puberty in children. And those seemingly harmless fragrances? They’re usually a mix of chemicals that can disrupt your endocrine system.

Emily opened up about her struggles with skin issues, from cystic acne to trying every product under the sun, both natural and pharmaceutical. The biggest improvements came when she started focusing on reducing stress, nourishing her body with minerals, and steering clear of endocrine disruptors.

Red light therapy involves low-level wavelengths of red light that can treat various skin issues, from reducing redness to soothing irritation. While it might be a bit of an investment, the results can be significant, with many users reporting a noticeable improvement in skin tone and texture.

Beyond tech solutions like red light therapy, natural antioxidants like hydroxytyrosol are making waves in skincare. Derived from olives, hydroxytyrosol is a potent antioxidant with anti-inflammatory, anti-aging, and even anti-cancer properties.

Skincare is about consistency. Regular exfoliation, lymphatic drainage, and moisturizing are essential for maintaining healthy, glowing skin. Climate, diet, and stress all play roles in how your skin responds to different products. The key is to find what works for you and stick with it.

If you’re feeling overwhelmed by all the options, start with one new product. Focus on what your skin really needs—whether it’s hydration, acne treatment, or redness reduction. By simplifying your routine and cutting out unnecessary chemicals, your skin has a better chance to heal and thrive.

I’ve lost count of how many times someone has labeled me a “witch doctor.”

It’s almost a weekly occurrence, and while it used to bother me, now I find it more amusing than anything else.

The term often comes from a place of misunderstanding, fear, or simply a lack of knowledge about the type of healthcare I practice. But instead of being defensive, I choose to see it as an opportunity to inform.

Let me give you a quick rundown of my credentials:

• I have a doctorate in chiropractic, a discipline grounded in science and focused on the body’s musculoskeletal system.
• I’m licensed in acupuncture and Chinese medicine, with a specialization in women’s hormones and fertility.
• I’m also trained in functional medicine, a holistic approach that seeks to address the root causes of disease.
• Additionally, I’ve studied Ayurveda, another ancient system of medicine that complements my understanding of Eastern practices.

My journey into these fields wasn’t just about acquiring knowledge; it was about finding solutions that worked for me personally—whether in athletic performance, pregnancy health, or overcoming my own health challenges like mold exposure and PCOS. These practices have made a profound impact on my life, and that’s why I’m so passionate about sharing them with others.

There will always be skeptics.

The real magic in what I do isn’t about spells or potions; it’s about the time-tested methods of healing that have been around for thousands of years. Practices like acupuncture and chiropractic care are rooted in ancient wisdom and have stood the test of time because they work. And while not everyone will have the same experience, dismissing these methods without trying them or understanding them is, in my view, short-sighted.

I simply ask that you keep an open mind. Look at the research, talk to practitioners, and most importantly, listen to your body. Health is deeply personal, and what works for one person might not work for another. But the beauty of natural healthcare is that it offers a variety of approaches based on individual needs.

Being called a “witch doctor” is something I’ve learned to embrace with a smile. It’s a reminder of how far we’ve come—and how far we still have to go—in educating others about the benefits of alternative medicine.

Menopause is not a death sentence to your fitness and energy.

Yes, our bodies will be prone to store belly fat and lose muscle tone as we age but you can actually see some pretty amazing results and feel that energy again if you know how to work with your hormones.

Menopause is marked by a year without a menstrual cycle and your body enters a new phase—big drops in estrogen and progesterone. With that can come a slew of symptoms, night sweats, fatigue, belly fat, mood swings, etc.

When it comes to exercise specifically, there are some things we can do to support our menopausal bodies.

Muscle mass is key. It’s not just about looking toned; muscle plays a crucial role in your metabolism, immune system, and overall strength and stability. Building and maintaining muscle is more challenging without the estrogen, but it’s absolutely possible.

Focus on:

• Strength Training: Start with bodyweight exercises or light weights if you’re new to strength training. Aim for consistency—three times a week for 30 minutes is a great place to start. Over time, you can increase the frequency and intensity of your workouts.
• Recovery: Your body’s recovery rate changes during menopause. It’s important to give yourself time to rest and repair between workouts. Avoid the temptation to overdo it; instead, focus on sustainable progress.
• Measuring Progress: Rather than relying on the scale, measure your progress through strength gains and daily activities. Celebrate milestones like carrying groceries with ease or lifting heavier weights over time.

Your first meal of the day sets the tone for your hormones, blood sugar and metabolism.

First, you should actually be eating breakfast. Eat that breakfast within 30-60 minutes of waking.

Second, base that meal around protein. Protein is essential for maintaining muscle mass, especially as we age, and it also helps regulate blood sugar levels and reduces cravings.

Here are some examples of hormone-friendly breakfasts:

• Protein Shakes: I love Potential Power Nutrition protein powder, which contains 24 grams of protein, 15 grams of carbs, and 3 grams of fat. This shake is easy on the stomach and provides a balanced mix of macros, along with essential vitamins and minerals.
• Eggs and Sausage: If you have a bit more time, a hearty breakfast of eggs and chicken sausage is excellent. Add some fresh fruit and gluten-free oats to round it out.
• Greek Yogurt Smoothie Bowl: Another great option is mixing a protein powder with Greek yogurt and some fruit for a delicious smoothie bowl. This provides a balanced meal with protein, carbs, and healthy fats.
• Eggs and Cottage Cheese: Four eggs, cottage cheese, two pieces of toast, and a side of fruit.

Let’s talk about what to avoid. The worst thing you can do for your hormones in the morning is to skip breakfast entirely. Fasting until noon might seem appealing, but you're missing out on taking advantage of your body's peak metabolism.

I do have specific fasting plans for women, but that’s for another conversation.

Here are some breakfast no’s:

• Skipping Breakfast: It throws off your metabolism and can lead to overeating later in the day.
• Just Coffee: If your morning routine consists of only coffee without any other nutrients, you're setting yourself up for a crash. Coffee, especially when consumed without food, can be hard on your digestive system and liver. Always pair it with some protein, healthy fats, or even collagen to help balance things out. It can also impact cortisol, so don’t drink on any empty stomach.
• Processed Sugars Alone: Starting your day with processed sugars like donuts or pastries without any protein or healthy fats can spike your blood sugar and lead to a quick crash. You can have simple carbs, just pair it with a protein and fat.

Castor oil packs, castor oil for acne, castor oil laxatives, castor oil for hair growth… is it worth the hype?

Castor oil is derived from the castor bean, a plant that might not be as well-known as other oil sources like olives or avocados. The magic is in its high content of ricinoleic acid—a compound known for its impressive anti-inflammatory, antimicrobial, and antioxidant properties.

Spoiler alert: I love castor oil!

It’s great for dealing with issues like abdominal discomfort and bloating, acne, hair loss and inflammation. Just like dry brushing or red light therapy, castor oil is a detox powerhouse!

Using castor oil is really easy, but there are a few things to keep in mind to get the most out of it. Here are some tips:

• Castor Oil Packs: Soak a cloth in castor oil and apply it to the affected area. Some people use it on their abdomen for digestive health, while others might apply it to joints, muscles, or even the thyroid. You can leave it on for 20 minutes or longer—some even sleep with it on, though this can get messy. You can find castor oil kits online.
• Topical Application: For skin or scalp issues, apply a small amount directly to the area. Be cautious with your clothing and bedding as castor oil is thick and can be tough to clean.
• Ingestion: Though less common, some people use castor oil as a laxative. However, this should be done cautiously and with plenty of research ahead of time.

I’m burnt out. How about you?

It’s time to take a look at chronic stress. I had an incredible conversation with Dr. Romie Mushtaq about stress, brain health and burn out.

Her message: chronic stress, left untreated, can cause neuroinflammation—a condition that leads to a "busy brain," characterized by anxiety, inability to focus, and sleep disturbances.

Neuroinflammation occurs when chronic stress creates inflammation in the brain, particularly in the hypothalamus, which she refers to as the "airport traffic control tower" of our brain. This area is responsible for regulating our circadian rhythm, mood, and cognitive functions. When it's under constant stress, it becomes overwhelmed, leading to symptoms like adult-onset ADHD, ruminating anxiety, and insomnia.

The statistics are staggering: 82% of people who took Dr. Romie’s Busy Brain Test scored above 30, indicating a significant level of neuroinflammation and chronic stress!

Do you have a busy brain? Know your brain score, which can be assessed through a simple, validated neuropsychology test available on Dr. Romie’s website.

Dr. Romie’s eight-week plan, detailed in her book "The Busy Brain Cure," provides a comprehensive approach to reducing chronic stress, calming the busy brain, and restoring sleep and focus. Her plan is based on rigorous research and has been tested on thousands of professionals, effective in combating the harmful effects of chronic stress.

You absolutely can get pregnant with endometriosis.

That being said, endo can also be a barrier to pregnancy, and it depends on how severe your tissue growth is, where it’s located and other hormone levels that may be out of balance.

Endometriosis is a condition where endometrial tissue, which normally lines the inside of the uterus, migrates to other parts of the body. This misplaced tissue can be found on the ovaries, fallopian tubes, and other organs within the pelvic region, causing pain, inflammation and other issues.

Adenomyosis, on the other hand, occurs when the endometrial tissue embeds itself into the muscle wall of the uterus. This can result in painful cramps, heavy periods, and an enlarged uterus. Women can suffer from either condition or both simultaneously, and they are often associated with other hormonal disorders like PCOS (Polycystic Ovary Syndrome).

There is no one-size-fits-all solution for women with endometriosis looking to get pregnant. Each woman's health history, how her body processes and detoxifies estrogen, and overall hormonal balance are unique. Some women may pursue surgery to excise or ablate the endometriosis.

I do think it is important to get some hormone testing done. The Dutch Test (Dried Urine Test for Comprehensive Hormones) provides info on levels and how your body is metabolizing estrogen. For instance, if a specific detox pathway isn't working properly, addressing that can make a significant difference in managing symptoms and improving fertility.

Fertility tips:

1. Hormone Balance and Detoxification: Hormone testing, supplementation and lifestyle changes are key.
2. Nutrient Support: Eat for your cycle, boost your protein and support your hormone needs.
3. Reduce Inflammation: Diet changes, supplements and stress management.
4. Acupuncture and Massage: These therapies can help manage pain, reduce inflammation, and improve lymphatic drainage, which is often impaired in women with endometriosis. There is also fertility specific acupuncture!
5. Regular Monitoring: Monitor and adjust your treatment plans based on regular hormone testing and symptom tracking.

I have worked with a number of women who have navigated this journey successfully. Some have managed to conceive and have healthy pregnancies, while others have significantly improved their symptoms to the point where pregnancy became a viable option.

You’ve heard the mantra “hydrate, hydrate, hydrate.” We try to hit half our body weight in ounces per day, right? The problem: many people consume ultra-filtered water, which is devoid of the minerals our bodies need. This type of “dead water” does not actually hydrate your cells!

For example, athletes and individuals who sweat a lot lose not just water but also essential salts and minerals. Simply replacing the lost water without replenishing these minerals can result in dehydration and other health issues.

Ok, so why do we even need minerals?

• Building Strong Bones and Teeth
• Regulating Muscle and Nerve Function
• Maintaining Blood Sugar Levels and Blood Pressure
• Balancing pH Levels
• Enzyme and Hormone Production

Athletes, particularly runners, often use salt pills to replace the salts lost through sweat. This practice might seem counterintuitive, but it’s actually preventing dehydration!

Here are some issues that are common if you become deficient in minerals:

• Dehydration
• Constipation
• Fatigue and Dizziness
• Dental and Bone Health Issues
• Muscle Cramps and Weakness

I was really struggling with my hot yoga sessions before I realized it was a mineral issue. I was getting fatigued and dizzy, and adding in some electrolytes beforehand solved my issues!

Here are my best mineral-boosting tips:

• Drink Natural Spring Water: Unlike distilled or ultra-filtered water, natural spring water contains essential minerals that aid in hydration.
• Use Mineral Supplements: Adding mineral drops or taking mineral supplements can help replenish lost minerals. I like this one and this one.
• Incorporate Mineral-Rich Foods: Foods high in minerals, such as leafy greens, nuts, seeds, and whole grains, should be a staple in your diet.

My best tip for success has nothing to do with food. Or exercise.

It’s really about visualization.

Visualization is the practice of creating a mental image of a desired outcome. It might sound a bit hokey at first, but hear me out. This technique has a solid scientific foundation and is used by top athletes, successful business people, and many others to achieve their goals.

How to Visualize 1. Create a Detailed Mental Image: Start by thinking of a scenario you want to manifest. For example, if you want to feel more confident at the gym, picture yourself walking in confidently. Imagine every detail – the smell of the gym, the feel of the equipment, the sounds around you. 2. Use All Your Senses: Make the image as vivid as possible. Include colors, sounds, smells, and even tactile sensations. The more detailed the visualization, the more powerful it will be. 3. Practice Regularly: Like any other skill, the more you practice visualization, the better you get at it. Try to set aside time every day, even if it's just a few minutes, to practice.

I've been using visualization since high school, where I started as a recommendation from a coach for my athletic performance. Visualizing successful outcomes in sports helped me become a state champion in volleyball. I would mentally rehearse every game, every move, until it felt smooth and seamless.

Start by setting a routine for your visualization practice. Aim for twice a day – once in the morning and once before bed. This is when your brain is most impressionable, and the visualizations can have the biggest impact.

If you want to dive deeper into the science and techniques of visualization, I highly recommend the book Psycho-Cybernetics by Maxwell Maltz, MD. This book explores the power of the subconscious mind and provides practical tips on how to harness it for your success.

Did you know that you can improve your energy and fat burning by exercising differently throughout the month?

I’m talking about exercising FOR your female cycle.

Let's consider a typical 28-day cycle. Here's a breakdown of how your hormones change and how you can adjust your workouts accordingly:

1. Menstrual Phase (Days 1-5):

   • Hormones: Estrogen and progesterone are at their lowest levels.
   • Exercise Recommendation: If your cycle isn't too heavy and you feel okay, this is a good time for exercise because of testosterone, which helps build and maintain muscle. However, if you're feeling worn out, it's perfectly fine to rest or engage in light activities like walking or gentle stretching.

   • Follicular Phase (Days 6-14):

   • Hormones: Estrogen starts to rise around day 4 or 5 and remains dominant until ovulation.

   • Exercise Recommendation: This is an excellent time for intense workouts. Focus on strength training, high-intensity interval training (HIIT), and activities that build lean muscle. Your body recovers faster, allowing you to push harder. If you're aiming to increase weights or improve performance, this is the time to do it.

   • Ovulation (Around Day 14):

   • Hormones: Estrogen peaks and then starts to decline, while progesterone begins to rise.

   • Exercise Recommendation: Continue with your intense workouts but start being mindful of your energy levels as you transition into the luteal phase.

   • Luteal Phase (Days 15-28):

   • You may still feel strong and energetic, so continue with your regular workouts but start to incorporate more rest and recovery.

   • Your energy levels may drop, and you might feel more fatigued. Focus on lower-intensity activities like walking, yoga, and gentle stretching. Pay attention to your heart rate and allow more time for recovery. This is also a good time for endurance training and working on flexibility and mobility.
   • Hormones: Progesterone rises and remains high until just before your period starts. There's also a smaller peak in estrogen.
   • Exercise Recommendation: This phase can be divided into two parts:
   • Early Luteal Phase (Days 15-21):
   • Late Luteal Phase (Days 22-28):

Exercising for your cycle paired with eating for your cycle will be a game changer for your symptoms and hormone balance. If you are curious about your hormone levels, you can get started with an at-home DUTCH hormone test - I’d love to help you out!

In this episode of my live coaching series, I talk with Jessica who deals with a long follicular phase and delayed ovulation. Delayed ovulation and irregular cycles can throw off a number of things in the female body, including fertility.

Jessica's main goal is to achieve a more balanced cycle - both for her overall health and her fertility journey as she and her husband try for their second child.

A former primary school teacher, Jessica found her stress levels were high due to the demands of her job. She transitioned to a high school teaching role which reduced her stress significantly, the first big step in regulating hormones.

The follicular phase is the first half of your menstrual cycle, starting on the first day of menstruation and lasting until ovulation. This phase involves the maturation of follicles in the ovaries, leading to the release of an egg during ovulation. A typical follicular phase lasts around 14 days.

Here are some tools for regulating the hormone cycle:

1. Manage stress

2. Nutrition support: Eat for your cycle. This includes warming and cooling foods with your follicular and luteal phase.

3. Seed Cycling: Eat 1 Tbsp of flax and pumpkin seeds in your follicular phase and 1 Tbsp of sesame and sunflower in the luteal phase.

4. Hormone testing: Jessica went with the DUTCH test - this test can pinpoint specific imbalances in the hormone cycle.

5. Gut health: A healthy gut microbiome is essential for hormone metabolism. Start with a diet rich in fiber and live cultures from foods like kefir, kombucha, and fresh vegetables. Probiotics and enzymes are a great option for additional support!

6. Movement: Regular, moderate exercise can help regulate hormones and reduce stress. Start with a short walk after meals!

What’s the big deal about gluten? I’ve been gluten free for many years and in many ways it saved my health, but let me give you some background.

Gluten is a binding protein found in wheat, barley, and rye. It's what gives dough its elasticity and bread its chewy texture. Gluten can trigger a severe autoimmune response (celiac disease) or other unpleasant symptoms, like bowel issues, skin issues, fatigue, etc.

My story with gluten sensitivity began in my high school and college years. As a three-sport athlete, I often experienced severe stomach issues. My stomach would bloat painfully after meals, and I'd wake up with a flat stomach only to have it bloat again by the end of the day. I also suffered from gas, constipation, and diarrhea intermittently.

Even with a balanced diet, I had other concerning health issues: constant cavities despite rigorous dental hygiene, anemia, and frequent illnesses like mono, pneumonia, and bronchitis. I was also on antibiotics a lot, which further disrupted my gut health. It wasn't until grad school that I stumbled upon an article that described symptoms identical to mine and attributed them to gluten.

So I went gluten free. Within three days, I noticed a significant improvement in my stomach issues. By the end of the week, I knew I couldn't go back to consuming gluten. Over time, other aspects of my health improved: my nails and hair became stronger, my skin cleared up, I stopped getting cavities, and my anemia resolved. My energy levels improved, and I stopped experiencing the constant stomach pain and discomfort.

Going gluten-free isn't just about avoiding bread and pasta. You have to consider cross-contamination in kitchens, both at home and in restaurants. Even small amounts of gluten can trigger symptoms - this has led me to thoroughly clean and sterilize my kitchen and be extremely cautious when dining out.

Here are some of the benefits of going GF:

• Reduced inflammation
• improved gut health
• alleviation of gastrointestinal symptoms
• Improved skin
• More energy

Testing for gluten sensitivity can be complex, but ultimately, it comes down to how you feel. If you feel better after eliminating gluten, you're on the right track.

I'd love to hear your gluten-free stories. Have you had similar experiences? It’s much better now than it was 20 years ago, but sharing helps us all feel less crazy.

I didn’t always love coffee. Shocking, I know!

I didn't even like the smell of it until after I had my second child. I was so exhausted I gave it a try, and now I start my day with a cup of mushroom coffee mixed with coconut oil and collagen, and I honestly love it.

Coffee and caffeine create some tension in the health community, so let’s look at some facts.

• A cup of coffee typically contains 80-90 milligrams of caffeine. Studies suggest up to 400 milligrams per day (about four cups of coffee) is generally safe.
• Not to mention, the source of your coffee can contain pesticides, herbicides, mold, and chemicals added during roasting.
• Coffee actually has some amazing benefits like helping your estrogen metabolism, improving metabolic health, blood sugar management and brain health!
• Caffeine is a stimulant, helping to wake up your brain. It’s also a diuretic, which means it can make you go to the bathroom more. Focus on more hydration with minerals to counteract the dehydration.

If you're using caffeine to combat constant exhaustion, it might be time to evaluate your overall health, particularly your adrenal function.

Some people metabolize caffeine quickly, while others do so slowly. Knowing your genetic factors can help you manage your intake. I metabolize caffeine quickly, so an afternoon cup doesn’t impact my sleep.

Cycle Syncing: Coffee is warming, which can be beneficial during different phases of your cycle. For instance, during the progesterone phase (days 15-28), you might find yourself enjoying an extra cup to get through the day.

Coffee isn’t inherently bad for your hormones. Problems arise with too much caffeine and quality of coffee.

• 1-2 Cups a Day: Generally safe and unlikely to negatively impact your hormones.
• Listen to Your Body: If coffee disrupts your sleep or you find yourself needing more to get through the day, it’s time to reassess.
• Find a “cleaner” source: Look for coffee that is certified organic or biodynamic. Some coffee brands have their coffee tested for mycotoxins and pesticides by third-party labs. Coffee grown at high altitudes is less likely to produce mold. Wet-processed/hand-picked and hand-processed coffees may be higher quality
• Focus on getting enough rest, minerals, and healthy fats.

Remember, everyone’s experience with coffee and caffeine is different. Coffee is a delicious and beneficial substance, but as always, listen to your body.

So, how do you take your coffee?

Is that my trauma speaking?

Trauma is like a big, unchewed ball of food stuck in your brain, preventing you from moving on. Every time you recall the traumatic event, it grows, branching out and connecting with other memories, and it impacts how you relate to others and the world.

I recently had an amazing conversation about trauma with Jennifer Phoenix, Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist (LMFT), who has dedicated her career to unraveling these harmful patterns in the brain.

Our brains are incredible! They are constantly changing and adapting, thanks to something called neuroplasticity. When we're in a therapeutic setting, our brains become especially malleable. This is where Accelerated Resolution Therapy (ART) comes in, helping to lay down new feelings, sensations, and memories the way we want to feel them. Think of it as redirecting a spider web of triggers from old, painful memories to new, positive ones. It’s not just cool – it’s life-changing!

The ART motto: "Keep the knowledge, lose the pain." Unlike the fictional memory-wiping pen from Men in Black, ART helps you keep your memories while shedding the emotional burden they carry. The facts of your life remain, but the pain associated with those facts can be cleared away and replaced with positive feelings.

A big reason people shy away from therapy is the fear of having to relive their trauma through talking. ART sidesteps this by using eye movements to access the subconscious mind. This method can even work if you don’t have a clear memory of the trauma – your body remembers, and ART can help process these deep-seated emotions.

If you're curious about ART, check out Jennifer’s website at Phoenix Rising Therapy. She offers a free initial consultation to see if this method is right for you.

Have you heard of the Real Rife Machine?

Originally engineered by Dr. Royal Raymond Rife in the 1920s, this electromagnetic radio frequency device is interesting for its potential in addressing various health concerns. I had Matthew Rife, a direct relative of Dr. Royal on the podcast to give us all the details of this machine.

Dr. Royal Rife invented the Rife Machine which was designed to generate specific radio frequencies that could target and eliminate disease-causing microorganisms without harming the surrounding tissues. In the 1920s, Rife's research suggested that different pathogens could be destroyed by applying particular frequencies, which was revolutionary at the time.

At its core, the Rife Machine operates on the principle of using low-level electromagnetic frequencies to stimulate the body's natural healing processes. These frequencies are designed to resonate with specific pathogens, effectively neutralizing them. According to Matthew, this technology harnesses frequencies found in nature, which can have life changing effects on the body.

For instance, 10,000 Hz is considered a cleansing frequency that can be found in natural environments. Matthew explains that being in nature exposes us to these beneficial frequencies, which contribute to our overall well-being. The Rife Machine aims to replicate this.

Users of Rife machines have reported significant improvements like:

• Increased Energy and Better Sleep
• Hormonal Balance
• Improved Cognitive Function

As Matthew shared, the body's response to electromagnetic fields (EMFs) varies from person to person due to individual bioelectrical signatures. While some people may have an immediate and positive response to Rife technology, others might need to ease into it gradually. The key is to start slow and closely monitor how your body reacts.

Matthew and his team are actively expanding their reach, with upcoming events in various cities. Follow him on tiktok and check out his website for all the details!

I am thrilled to share this conversation with fitness professional and female business owner, Amanda Nigg about mental health, community within fitness, and the importance of wellness in the world of agriculture.

After her home was destroyed by fire and facing the isolation of the pandemic lockdown, Amanda found strength in sharing her fitness journey on social media. Her Plank Challenge during Mental Health Awareness Month attracted over 800 participants, highlighting the need for fitness and mental health support especially within the agricultural community. Even during personal and global crises, it is possible to rebuild and thrive.

Amanda went from the life of a competitive athlete to a dedicated fitness professional, and the founder of Farm Fit Training, with her focus on mental and physical health within agriculture. Her mission is to integrate practical fitness routines into farm life, foster a supportive community, and demonstrate resilience when faced with crisis and trauma.

When it comes to agriculture or really any industry, stress management is essential. Unpredictable factors like weather and crop prices can create immense stress for farmers and those connected to the industry. With technology making farming more efficient, the physical demands on farmers have decreased, which means less natural exercise and, often, more stress.

One simple but powerful exercise Amanda recommends is planking. It’s accessible to everyone and has numerous benefits, including better body alignment and improved circulation. Incorporating such small, manageable exercises can be a game-changer in handling stress.

Amanda is another advocate for protein (my favorite topic!) and recommends tracking your intake even for a short period to see if you are fueling your body correctly.

Final takeaway: Focus on progress, not perfection. Your fitness journey will be messy, but it’s about consistency and growth, not doing everything perfectly from day one.

This isn’t a pregnancy announcement. This is endo belly.

Endo belly refers to the severe inflammation in the lower part of the abdomen often experienced by those with endometriosis. This can flare up and be worse on some days than others. Sometimes you might wake up feeling fine, but as the day goes on, your belly can become noticeably swollen.

Something to note: women’s abdomens naturally change size due to the uterus holding and releasing fluid throughout the month. This is NORMAL. However, with endo belly, it can feel like your lower abdomen suddenly looks like you're pregnant, and it can be very painful. This is due to inflammation and fluid retention in that area.

Just like when you sprain your ankle and it swells up, the same kind of thing happens internally with endo belly.

So, what can you do about it?

First, it’s important to recognize that endometriosis is driven by excess estrogen. This is where the DUTCH test comes in handy. This test measures your hormone levels and can give you a detailed understanding of what's going on in your body.

While getting your estrogen levels resolved takes time, there are tools you can use RIGHT NOW to help with an endo flare-up. Use a dry brush to gently brush your abdomen, which can help move fluid and reduce swelling. Brush towards your groin area where the biggest lymph nodes are located. Remember to be gentle; less is more with this technique.

Another helpful tool is red light therapy. A wearable red light wrap can help decrease inflammation and provide soothing heat to the area.

Changing your diet is going to be more personal. What works best for you might be different from someone else, and sometimes specific triggers like dairy need to be assessed on a case-by-case basis. Getting enough protein and eating for your cycle is often more important than cutting out certain foods unless they're proven triggers.

When’s the last time you checked the labels on your cleaning products or personal care products?

Yes, I’m talking about shampoos, body wash, toothpaste, dishwasher soap, laundry detergent… all of it!

Many of the traditional brands contain endocrine disruptors and they are trashing your hormones…

Endocrine disruptors are chemicals that mess with your hormone levels, causing problems in development, reproduction, the nervous system, and the immune system. They're commonly found in things we use every day like plastics, personal care items, and household cleaners.

They can disrupt how hormones are produced, blocking the way glands like the thyroid, ovaries, and adrenals do their job. They can also block the receptors that hormones bind to, making it impossible for the hormones to work properly. Imagine a hormone as a baseball trying to land in a glove, but the glove is tied shut by the disruptor. Plus, they can interfere with how hormones are detoxified in the liver and gut, leading to imbalances like estrogen dominance, which can cause headaches, skin problems, and irregular periods.

Since it’s tough to avoid these chemicals entirely, it’s best to focus on reducing exposure where you can. Start by looking at the products you use most often.

• Opt for non-toxic detergents, soaps, and cleaners, and pay attention to items that touch your skin a lot, like mattresses and sheets.
• For personal care, switch to non-toxic shampoos, conditioners, body washes, and skincare items.
• The EWG Healthy Living app can help you check the safety of various products. Eating organic foods and staying hydrated can also help your body detoxify naturally.

Testing your hormone levels, like the DUTCH test, can give you a good idea of how your hormones are doing and help you make a plan to address any issues.

Yes, switching to ALL non-toxic products right away can be overwhelming and expensive. Take it slow, starting with one area of your home at a time, and replace items as you can or when they run out. Progress is more important than perfection.

A brand I’m currently loving: ATTITUDE Living. They offer a wide range of non-toxic household and personal care products, from laundry detergents to shampoos, which are highly rated for safety and effectiveness.

While avoiding endocrine disruptors completely is pretty much impossible, reducing exposure and supporting your body’s detox processes can greatly benefit your hormones.

What are your favorite non-toxic products?

I’m taking a break from drinking.

I’ve never been a heavy drinker, (not looking at you, college years). However, I’ve decided to stop drinking recently, for many reasons —health, genetics, personal growth, and overall wellness.

My family history with alcohol issues has always made me cautious. Although I didn’t drink much in high school and moderately in college, my relationship with alcohol has evolved. My husband, who hasn’t had a drink in eight years, also influenced my decision. (Check out our relationship story for more context)

I realized I was using that occasional glass of wine to unwind and relieve stress. I have started exploring other methods for relaxation and stress management, such as Epsom salt baths, adaptogens like ashwagandha, and deep breathing exercises. I honestly feel a stronger connection to my body than I did before!

Here’s what I’ve noticed: My sleep quality has improved, my energy levels are higher, and I feel more in tune with my emotions. I don’t feel the need to quit alcohol forever, but I’m being intentional about when I need a break. I would rather drink to celebrate than to cope.

I highly recommend taking a break from alcohol. You can find clarity, energy, new relationships and break free from harmful habits.

I’d love to know - have you tried taking a break from drinking? If so, what’s your experience?

You look 4 months pregnant, but you aren’t pregnant. It’s actually “endo belly”. This is just one of the common symptoms with endometriosis - extreme bloating and pain in the lower abdomen.

Endometriosis is when tissue similar to the lining inside the uterus (endometrial tissue) starts growing in other parts of the body. This can mean it ends up in places like your fallopian tubes, ovaries, bladder, digestive tract, bowels, and even muscles like the psoas (the hip flexor muscle). The tricky part about endometriosis is that it doesn’t stay put; it can attach itself to various internal tissues, making it hard to manage.

Let’s jump to methylation - I promise it’s related!

Methylation might sound complicated, but it’a a main process for detoxification, producing energy, responding to stress, managing inflammation, and repairing genetic material.

The science-y part: It involves adding a methyl group to molecules, which helps control how your genes are turned on or off. A big part of methylation’s job is processing estrogen. When your body methylates efficiently, it can properly metabolize and get rid of excess estrogen. But if methylation is impaired—due to genetic factors like the MTHFR gene mutation, stress, or nutrient deficiencies—this can lead to estrogen dominance, making endometriosis symptoms worse.

Boosting your methylation can make a big difference in managing endometriosis. Here’s how:

1. Genetic Testing: Knowing your genetic predispositions can help you tailor your lifestyle changes.
2. Nutrition: Make sure you’re getting enough nutrients like B vitamins, magnesium, and zinc, which are crucial for methylation.
3. Stress Management: Chronic stress can impair methylation. Practices like mindfulness, yoga, setting boundaries and getting enough sleep can support your methylation pathways.
4. Detox: Support your liver and gut health! Eat a diet rich in fiber, antioxidants, and cruciferous vegetables to help with this.

If you’d like all the details on endometriosis and improving methylation, listen to the full episode!

We all want to level up. I’m talking about every aspect of life - health and fitness, finance, relationships… all of it.

This starts with our identity and beliefs.

In this conversation with holistic health and fitness expert, Dr. Jade Teta, he shared the power behind rewiring our thoughts to unlock the next level of transformation.

Dr. Jade started writing fitness programs at 15 for his high school football team - the groundwork for his lifelong dedication to personal training. He continued this passion through college and medical school, eventually choosing naturopathic medicine over a traditional medical path.

Dr. Jade's gyms and clinical experience gave him close interaction with his clients, allowing him to see and influence their habits and mindset.

For instance, there is power in the stories we tell ourselves about health and fitness. Many people, especially women, have subconscious beliefs from childhood and society that hinder their progress. Challenging these narratives, like the idea that weight training is only for men, is the key.

Society has bent our view of diet and exercise - we need more balance—what Dr. Jade calls the "Goldilocks zone." Over-exercising and under-eating can be just as harmful as inactivity.

You must become a "metabolic detective" - pay attention to your hunger, energy, and cravings (HEC).

True transformation, according to Dr. Jade, comes from reshaping our identity and beliefs. Many people have unconscious decisions (MUD) from their past that affect their present. Rewriting these beliefs is the key to change with health and fitness.

Dr. Jade’s new book You Grow Me, addresses leveling up in your relationships - love, sex and romance. Dr. Jade also has upcoming experiential events that will guide participants through spotting and releasing old stories, memorizing new feelings, and embodying the changes they wish to see. This event offers a deep dive into personal development and transformation.

About: Dr. Jade Teta, a Naturopathic Doctor, Author, Educator, and Entrepreneur, brings a unique perspective to health and personal development, combining over 30 years of experience in personal training with 20 years in functional medicine. Specializing in mindset, muscle, and metabolism, he focuses on tailored approaches to health, fitness, and weight loss. Dr. Jade has authored eight books in personal development and health and contributed to key texts like the "Textbooks of Natural Medicine" and "Integrative Sexual Health." Currently, he is deepening his expertise through a PhD in transpersonal psychology and a certificate in psychedelic-assisted therapy.

Diets and workouts, diets and workouts… but what about stress?

Yes, stress could be the reason your weight won’t budge.

Stress triggers the release of cortisol, a hormone essential for your body’s fight-or-flight response. While cortisol is great in the short term—helping you respond quickly in stressful situations —chronic stress can keep cortisol levels elevated. This is when we start to see an impact on weight.

Stress can increase your cravings, usually for sweet treats or high fat foods. Your brain, under stress, demands more glucose (sugar) to function properly so when you’re stressed, your body’s goes into survival mode. This starts the cycle of eating more, storing more fat, and becoming more fatigued.

Let’s break the stress cycle!

1. Less stress: Make time for activities that help you relax, like yoga, meditation, or deep breathing.
2. Female focused nutrition: Focus on protein and minerals to keep your body happy. Eat for your cycle to help balance your hormone rhythms.
3. Less intensity: Exercise is great, but too much can stress your body out. Find a workout routine that suits you without pushing yourself too hard.
4. Quality Sleep: Focus on getting good sleep each night. I just did an episode on how to master your sleep if you need ideas.

Understanding your individual needs is a game changer. This is why I love DUTCH (Dried Urine Test for Comprehensive Hormones) testing - this includes cortisol!

Are you in survival mode and dealing with burnout? This is your sign to pay attention to the stress in your life. Listen to the episode for all the details!

I’ve faced insomnia on and off throughout my life, and let me tell you…it’s been A JOURNEY to improve my sleep! Sleep isn’t a simple math problem - you’ve got hormonal changes, the moon, and personal traumas at play.

Not only did I grow up in a chaotic environment but I experienced night terrors when I was younger. In college, I experimented with herbal treatments to get some relief. More recently, I have used an Ayurvedic approach to tackle deeper traumas, which has helped in many ways but led to some unpredictable sleep patterns for several months.

From October to April of this year, I experienced one of the longest periods of insomnia in my life. I tried numerous methods, including melatonin and various sleep supplements, but nothing seemed to work consistently. So I decided to create my own sleep tincture. Combining herbs like hops, lemon balm, passionflower, valerian, kava kava, skull cap, California poppy, and chamomile, I’ve actually found a combination that works. This tincture, free of melatonin and non-addictive, has been seriously improving my night time rest.

Here’s what my current sleep routine looks like:

• No screens: 30 minutes to an hour before bed.
• Red light therapy: Calms my mind and improves my skin.
• Weighted blanket: Provides comfort and security.
• Loop earplugs: Blocks out ambient noise, especially helpful with my husband and two dogs sharing the room.
• Nighttime skincare: Simple routine with washing and moisturizing.
• Sleep tincture: Two squeezes under my tongue before bed.

Quality sleep is your number one tool for health, impacting everything from brain function and metabolism to gut health. Especially for those with autoimmune issues, like myself, good sleep can significantly reduce flare-ups and improve overall wellness.

My best sleep tips: * Have a consistent sleep schedule. * Use calming nighttime routines and red light therapy. * Find effective earplugs to block out disruptive noise. * Create a dark and cool environment. * Consider supplements like my new sleep support tincture.

Join me on this sleep journey - it’s life changing for your health and happiness!

Let’s talk about skin, anti-aging and red light therapy! I had the opportunity to talk with Dr. Gen, Scientific Director at Fringe, about all things skin and I can’t wait to share it with you.

First off, Dr. Gen breaks down anti-aging treatments into three main categories. The least invasive are topicals, like vitamin C, vitamin E, ceramides, and retinols. Next up are ablative treatments, which include more intense procedures like chemical peels, laser resurfacing, and microdermabrasion. The most invasive options are injectables, such as Botox and fillers. While Botox smooths out wrinkles by paralyzing muscles, fillers add volume to reduce signs of aging. However, these come with risks like bruising, swelling, and in some cases, more serious complications.

Now, let's talk about red light therapy. Many people worry about the sun's harmful UV rays, but the sun also provides beneficial wavelengths, especially red and near-infrared light. These wavelengths boost cellular energy, leading to increased collagen and elastin production, better oil regulation, and improved pigmentation. Within six to eight weeks, users often see better skin volume, reduced wrinkles, and improved pigmentation.

Red light therapy can reduce puffiness and inflammation, which are often linked to hormonal cycles or dietary issues. It's not just about enhancing skin appearance; it also tackles deeper issues like inflammation. Devices like red light face masks are a cost-effective alternative to pricey treatments like Botox. They're easy to use, with built-in timers for optimal exposure, and portable enough to fit into your daily routine.

If you have issues with acne, many red light masks come with a blue light mode designed for blemish control. Using blue light daily, followed by red or near-infrared light a few times a week, can significantly improve skin healing and reduce acne. Beyond skincare, red and near-infrared light therapy promotes tissue healing and can benefit conditions like eczema and psoriasis.

Red light therapy is about taking a holistic approach to skincare. It's a commitment to sustainable tools that support your skin's health over time. Join us in the red light revolution and discover the benefits for yourself!

About Dr. Gen: Dr. Genevieve Newton, DC, PhD spent close to 20 years as a researcher and educator in the field of nutritional sciences before joining Fringe as its Scientific Director. Gen’s job is to “bring the science” that supports Fringe’s products and education. She is passionate about all things Fringe, and is a deep believer in healing body, mind and spirit using the gifts of the natural world.

My journey with PCOS began after the birth of my third child. My issues started post-pregnancy, with the onset of thyroid problems after each of my three children's births, all delivered via emergency C-sections. After my youngest was born prematurely, I began experiencing excruciating pain caused by ovarian cysts.

The pain from the cysts was debilitating. I vividly remember collapsing in my bathroom from the stabbing pain, thinking something was seriously wrong with my C-section scar. After multiple episodes and many frustrating visits to multiple doctors, I was told to just go on birth control or take painkillers - band aids that didn’t address the root issue.

The worst advice I got (from a male doctor no less) — to get pregnant again to avoid cysts — was the catalyst for me to take control and find natural solutions myself.

I began researching the female cycle, eating for my cycle and focusing on hormone patterns. This included implementing seed cycling and matching my foods to the different phases of my cycle.

The next layer was focusing on my excess estrogen. I worked on detoxing and supporting my liver and gut health. Along with this came a focus on stress and cortisol. Over the years, I've continued to research and implement tools to support my hormone levels. This consistency has paid off - I haven't had a cyst in over 12 years!

As I approach menopause, I am focused on building muscle and maintaining my metabolic health. PCOS is a metabolic issue, and it requires ongoing management, especially as hormonal changes come with age.

Here are some takeaways if you are struggling with PCOS:

Addressing PCOS requires looking at your overall health, not just reproductive symptoms. This includes diet, stress management, and supporting your body's natural detox processes.

Regular hormone testing, such DUTCH testing (a comprehensive dried urine test for hormones), will give you the info you need to pin-point certain hormone levels and see what’s working.

Your body's needs change over time, especially with life events and aging. Be prepared to adjust and adapt with your body.

Everyone with PCOS has a unique experience. Get to know your own body and work with professionals who listen and validate you. If you have any questions on PCOS or hormone testing, feel free to reach out!

Not every relationship can survive abuse. And honestly, repairing a relationship after abuse is often not possible.

My story is a little different. Trigger warning: talk of suicide and physical abuse.

I’ve shared some of my relationship on the podcast before, but I think it’s important to share more behind-the-scenes. By sharing our stories, we find community and hope especially when others go through similar challenges.

If you haven’t already, you can find the original episode for context. At that point in my healing journey, I couldn't narrate the story myself and had support to guide the conversation. I also did an episode with Kaitlyn Jorgensen, where we discussed valuable resources and guidance that can be beneficial for anyone going through an abusive situation.

My husband and I faced numerous challenges, starting with the definition of our roles in the relationship. We also dealt with some pretty big relationship issues, including starting our lives together without support, dealing with judgemental family members, and holding on to resentments.

The turning point came when my husband began showing some aggressive behaviors. I tried everything within my power to support him, but things continued to get worse, and he began talking about taking his own life. One of the scariest moments was when he woke me in the middle of the night, asking for help to hold a gun.

Things escalated when he started becoming physically aggressive. All it took was one explosion and I knew I needed to get out. This period of my life marked a season of resilience and growth. It was incredibly painful, but I experienced incredible transformation. And so did my husband.

It’s important to remember that when you look at a relationship from the outside or see on social media, you don’t know the full story or what someone has walked through.

Today, we're diving into the top causes of fatigue, focusing on hormones and overall system function. Chronic fatigue can be an issue even when you sleep well and isn't always related to chronic illnesses like autoimmune diseases. Factors like mold exposure, toxic overload, and genetic detox issues can contribute to chronic fatigue.

I’ve been there. From dealing with autoimmune flare-ups to a severe spider bite, I've learned to listen to my body. Chronic fatigue is most often related to stress, cortisol patterns and adrenal function. Additionally, nutrient deficiencies, toxic overload, and even unsupportive relationships can drain your energy. Dive into this episode for all the details!

Here’s the truth about Hormone Replacement Therapy (HRT). HRT is often used to manage symptoms related to hormonal imbalances, particularly during menopause. These hormones can be administered via oral tablets, skin patches, gels, creams, and vaginal rings.

As with most things, my general approach is to prioritize natural methods first, as the body is inherently designed to produce and regulate hormones. That being said, there are definitely cases where additional tools, including HRT, may be helpful for a period to help the body function better.

Here are some common HRT side effects: headaches, breast pain, nausea, mood changes, weight gain, skin irritations, and more. When thinking long term - what is the plan for managing your health not just now, but in the future? These initial side effects can sometimes turn into bigger issues down the road.

The decision to use HRT is highly personal and should be made with full awareness of the benefits, risks, and alternatives. If you’ve had questions about HRT or how to regulate hormones naturally, I’d love to help.

We can take a look at your hormone levels with an at-home dried urine test. I am actually doing a FREE DUTCH TEST GIVEAWAY in my free 5 day hormone jumpstart which starts next week. I will also be giving away herbal tinctures too!

Did you know that dopamine plays an important role in managing ADHD symptoms?

On a recent live coaching call, I spoke with Elizabeth about dopamine, ADHD, gut health and what we can do to optimize wellness in each of these categories.

Dopamine, “the feel-good” neurotransmitter, is often dysregulated in individuals with ADHD, creating issues with attention, motivation and impulse control.

Here’s my dopamine to-do list:

Regular Dopamine Detoxes: Yes, to increase dopamine we need to make sure our dopamine receptors are available and our brain has a chance to detox and reset.

Anti-inflammatory Diet: Avoiding inflammatory foods such as gluten, dairy, and sugar can help reduce brain inflammation and support dopamine production.

Quality Sleep: deep, uninterrupted sleep is crucial for overall brain health.

Establishing Routine: Your brain responds to routine although routine may not be as exciting in terms of dopamine.

We also discussed testosterone and adrenal health, specifically the role of stress. Listen to the full episode for all the details!

I used to believe that fat loss and stress management were two separate parts of my health journey.

That was until I understood how the female body works…

Stress plays a major role in fat storage for better or worse. Simplified, less stress can lead to less fat, and more stress to more fat.

Let’s talk about fitness and workouts specifically. Here’s the workout protocol I follow for fat loss:

• Daily Walks before or after breakfast - casual pace for nervous system regulation
• Weight lifting (higher intensity in my estrogen phase/first half of my cycle)
• Yoga (primarily in my progesterone phase/second half of my cycle)
• 170g of protein (I’m 6’2”, so your protein goals will probably be different)

If your cortisol is completely off track (either too high or too low), it’s important to focus on that first, so that your workouts aren’t working against you. If you’d like to check your levels, you can get started with a DUTCH test.

Therapy isn't just about sorting through emotions; it impacts hormones and your body chemistry! I've experienced this firsthand over the past decade. Confronting the tough stuff, like stress-induced physical symptoms, led me to therapy.

Through modalities like EMDR, I began rewiring my brain and addressing deep-rooted trauma, gradually regaining control over my body and mind.

Years later, I'm now facing some new challenges, therapy once again became my lifeline. This time, it's about rebuilding physical strength and managing autoimmune flare-ups.

As I unpacked my stress and mental challenges, I noticed a positive shift in my hormones. Therapy isn't necessarily the easy way out, but it's so often overlooked on the hormone journey.

Let this be a sign to give therapy a try. I've become a bit of a therapy junkie myself - listen to the episode for all the deets!

Tracy, a new mom, shares her struggles with irregular menstrual cycles, low prolactin, and low progesterone levels since giving birth to her son two years ago. This conversation covers a range of topics from breastfeeding to gut health, and how new mother's can support their hormones.

Key topics:

• Nutrient Depletion: We discuss how hormonal imbalances could be due to nutrient depletion postpartum
• Gut Health: Gut health is linked to hormone balance - I recommend focusing on reducing sugar and processed foods to support gut health.
• Breastfeeding and Menstruation: Tracy's irregular menstrual cycles could be related to genetics and breastfeeding. Things often don't adjust until after the baby is weaned!
• Balanced Diet and Supplements: It's important to prioritize protein intake, stay hydrated, get quality sleep, and use mineral supplements like Shilajit to replenish the body.
• Patience and Incremental Changes: Be patient and focus on making small, sustainable changes over time rather than expecting immediate results.
• Setting Goals: We also discuss setting realistic goals and benchmarks.

It’s time for a personal update! While I usually focus on health education, I wanted to share a bit more about my personal life because that’s where we all get the most support right? The lives of other women battling the same things we are.

Recently, my dad landed in the hospital. It was a serious deal - respiratory failure, sepsis, the works. Easter plans? Canceled. Instead, we visited Dad in the ICU, hooked up to all the machines - honestly, it hit me harder than I expected.

It’s been weeks of hospital visits, canceled plans, and emotional whiplash. But amidst the chaos, I've been reminded of a thing or two. Healing isn't linear, ladies. And I've had to cut myself some slack, dialing down the perfectionism.

In this episode, I had a chat with Erika who shared her struggles dealing with postpartum health issues, like a painful fibroid and PMS.

Erica has been frustrated because her doctors weren't really listening to her concerns. They kept pushing birth control and ibuprofen as a quick fix, ignoring her struggles.

I kept thinking to myself, I've been there too.

Advocating for yourself and finding a healthcare provider who really listens to you is ESSENTIAL. I talked through some practical tools like seed cycling and tinctures to help balance her hormones and reduce inflammation.

We also talked about how to approach doctors who aren't being helpful. Here is your permission to be firm about what tests you need and to stand up for yourself if you are being ignored or gaslight. Click play to join the conversation!

Where are my married ladies?! Really, this applies to any long term relationship...

My husband and I have been together for over 20 years and our relationship has seen some high highs and low lows. My health journey has been greatly impacted by these seasons and I am sure you can relate.

There is an extreme significance in having a supportive partner when working towards your health goals. And you better believe it applies to the opposite as well, more on that below.

I believe that a supportive partner can make a world of difference in helping a woman reach their healthiest selves. There are significant challenges women face when they have unsupportive partners, as it can create obstacles along the way.

I am talking about things like ortisol/stress issues, time management issues, sabotage and more...

In this episode, I share personal stories and examples from my clinical practice where husbands/partners either actively support their wives' health journey or hinder it.

I also dive into how some women manage to push forward with their health goals despite unsupportive partners, while others may find it more difficult. This is your sign to look for potential red flags in relationships that can impede health progress, such as partners who try to use control to keep you from getting healthier.

I want women facing these challenges to know you are not alone and there are a number of ways to seek support.

This is actually something that many of my personal clients navigate during our work together. If you'd like to know more about my upcoming Hormone Solution program, join the waitlist here: https://drbethwestie.com/fhs-waitlist/

Hormone levels play a direct and indirect role in how the body utilizes and stores fat.

Estrogen, dominant in the first half of your cycle, plays a crucial role in regulating metabolism. Higher levels of estrogen are associated with increased carb burning, which is why I often incorporate carb cycling in this phase of my cycle

Progesterone, on the other hand, exhibits distinct fat burning qualities. Research indicates that progesterone may enhance lipid metabolism, promoting the breakdown of fat for energy.

Listen along as we break down other hormones including testosterone and cortisol and how to manage expectations for your body.

While you may not have heard about glutathione, you've probably heard about antioxidants and how important they are for healthy cells and wellness.

Glutathione is one of the most powerful antioxidants naturally produced in the body, playing a crucial role in protecting cells from oxidative stress and damage caused by free radicals. Its importance lies in its ability to neutralize free radicals, which are unstable molecules that can harm cells and contribute to various health issues, including aging, inflammation, and chronic diseases.

One of the key reasons why glutathione is particularly important for women is its interaction with female hormones. Glutathione helps support hormonal balance by aiding in the detoxification of hormones such as estrogen. It helps eliminate excess estrogen from the body, which is beneficial as high levels of estrogen can lead to hormone imbalances, menstrual irregularities, and other health problems.

Glutathione also plays a role in supporting the liver, which is responsible for metabolizing hormones. By enhancing liver function, glutathione indirectly contributes to maintaining healthy hormone levels in women. Listen to the full episode for some natural sources of glutathione and how to incorporate this into your daily routine!

Backed by a team as passionate about nutrition as she is, Dr. Balliett has utilized her extensive knowledge of biochemistry, nutrition, and physiology to launch Potential Power Nutrition as a supplement company that makes products which both taste great and deliver measurable results.

Dr. Balliett became interested in nutrition over 50 years ago while studying biology and taking courses which would later become the core curriculum of the biochemistry program at Cornell University. The field of biochemistry was in its nascent stages, and Dr. Balliett immediately fell in love with a discipline that promised to unlock the secrets of the body. That passion led her to go on to become a chiropractor and then a professor, later serving as the Dean for the Nutrition Program at New York Chiropractic College (now Northeast College of Health Sciences).

Dr. Balliett is a leader in the field of nutrition, with a near unmatched proficiency in the study of biochemistry, nutrition, physiology, and the intersection of these three disciplines where with the proper level of understanding a person can influence their metabolism to function at peak performance.

In the past few years many people have heard the phrase bioavailable forms, when talking about vitamins and minerals. Dr. Balliett has been teaching the importance of supplement forms and quantity for over 25 years. Aside from bioavailability, she puts a strong emphasis on content and interaction. As a researcher running clinical studies for over 20 years, Dr. Balliett knows that it isn’t enough to make a supplement that makes you feel great for 2 weeks before your body crashes as the metabolic imbalance catches up to you.
The team at Potential Power Nutrition knows there is no such thing as “biohacking”, there is only putting in the work and giving your body the nutrients, it needs in the ideal forms to reach the level of performance you strive for.

When she set out to start this company, Dr. Balliett wanted one thing; to make products that achieve measurable results that are easy for Doctors, Dietitians, Nutritionists, and other professionals within the Nutrition industry to recommend. Those are the products we make at Potential Power Nutrition, because here we only have one goal; helping you to Unlock Your Potential!

Dr. Balliett is a Doctor of Chiropractic and has a Masters in Applied Clinical Nutrition from New York Chiropractic College, as well as a having a Bachelor of Science in Biology from Cornell University.

• The third R is "restore," focusing on restoring transit time and peristaltic activity in the gut.
• The fourth R is "replace," indicating the need for digestive support, particularly enzymes.
• The fifth R is "reinoculate," which involves replenishing the gut with beneficial bacteria.

In this episode, I want to highlight why low calorie and inflexible nutrition doesn't work for women and how you can eat FOR your hormones and feel your best.

One of the most common ingredients I see in supplements designed for the female body is DIM. Diindolylmethane is a compound that the body creates when digesting cruciferous vegetables and it can have many positive effects on the female body. I recommend it to many women that I work with, but only after identifying certain symptoms and hormone levels. DIM can have the opposite impact if your body doesn't need it! In this episode we dive into all things DIM!

So you have hot flashes? Hot flashes often occur in perimenopause & menopause, but there are other hormonal shifts that can produce them as well. Your body detects a change and release the mechanism to feel hot and start sweating. This temperature regulation issue means that your body is struggling to process hormones, mainly the liver & digestive system. Many women even have night sweats/hot flashes before their period starts! Although hot flashes are not necessarily bad, they are uncomfortable and signal that there is work to be done in the body. In this episode, I dive deeper into hot flashes, common mistakes when treating them and how to get those hormones on the right track!

Where do toxins actually come from? There might be more places than you think! We usually think about our environment when it comes to toxins, like products, shampoos, cleaners, etc. This is absolutely true, however toxins can come from cellular waste and bacteria in your gut! Internal and external toxins factor into female health. Although our bodies are designed to filter through these toxins and flushing things out, sometimes we need some assistance if things get bogged down.

When it comes to a holistic approach to health, we need to look at many different processes in the body. Health history and genetics also play heavily into what it takes to turn someone's health around. This is why I love testing!

When looking at nutrient levels, there are several things at play when we look at the nutrient levels in your body. This includes eating quality foods and quality sourcing, gut health and more.

Genes, gut health and toxic overload can also impact the absorption of these nutrients. 

In this video, I dive into factors that impact how the body responds to supplements and what to consider when creating expectations and timelines for your health.

Today I wanted to talk a bit about the history of different fad diets, and the likelihood of it leading to disordered eating.

One of the biggest things I run into when I start working with women, is they feel like they are eating too much. And when we really dig into this, often times we realize how little they have been eating. The concept of what a normal day of eating looks like, is often unclear for so many women.

Today I want to talk about motivation for working out. How do you stay motivated and encouraged to keep going on a fitness plan?

There are a couple different thought processes we can have when it comes to exercise. The first being that the main goal of working out is to burn fat and burn off the calories of what I’ve eaten. When we start to venture down this road of thinking that the purpose of working out is to burn off food we are eating, or that its purely to achieve an aesthetic.

This can be very frustrating when we don’t see that result we are looking so hard for. Losing motivation when this is your thought process is easy because the why connected to it is very surface level.

In this episode I am diving into both this thought process, and a more positive way to approach exercise that makes staying motivated so much easier!

Rachel Katzman is the Co-Founder of P.volve and Co-Founder and former CEO of Cuvée Beauty, a hair care line that she sold in 2019.

P.volve is an omnichannel fitness brand with a global on-demand platform, a growing line of patented equipment and studios in NYC, Chicago and Los Angeles. The wellness-forward startup is known for teaching you to “Know Your Body Better” and has garnered attention from major media outlets—such as Vogue, The Today Show and Vanity Fair—for flipping traditional fitness on its head. Celebrities including Kate Bosworth, Iskra Lawrence and Venus Williams credit the functional method and its purposeful, low-impact movements for helping them achieve their fitness goals.

After years of breaking down her body and feeling a constant state of pain from high-impact workouts, Rachel discovered the ‘mind-to-muscle’ training method cured her scoliosis.

The method forever altered Rachel’s outlook on fitness -- wanting to help others experiencing the same fatigue and strain from vanity-driven fitness, Rachel began filming her workouts and uploading them onto the P.volve platform. After discovering P.volve, Rachel learned to love her body based on how she felt, rather than how she looked.

Dr. Amy Hoover owns and operates APHysio LLC, a wellness practice where she specializes in hands-on manual therapy. She also has a special interest in both pre and postnatal care and women's health, plus extensive training in pelvic floor physical therapy.

Tallene is a PCOS Weight Loss registered dietitian and a strong believer that you don’t just have to live with PCOS, you can thrive with PCOS. She was diagnosed at age 18, and left scared and confused without much information or guidance from her practitioner. Unsatisfied with the generally accepted belief that birth control is the only way to manage a PCOS diagnosis (and disheartened after failed attempts at weight loss through excessive exercise and dieting), Tallene decided to look for alternative options. She studied nutritional science and became a dietitian, gathering information from her studies, speaking extensively with various health experts who are now guests on her and her husband’s podcast, and working with clients one-on-one. She discovered that eliminating gluten and dairy as a huge key to living healthier with PCOS, and together with her husband Sirak (a PCOS-focused personal trainer), developed a program meant to make living with the diagnosis easier to both understand and embrace. Tallene has helped thousands of women manage their PCOS symptoms and is living proof that anyone can overcome PCOS and lose weight naturally by going gluten and dairy free!

Sirak is a PCOS Personal Trainer and a strong supporter of women struggling with PCOS. He has taken his skills as an engineer and applied his creative genius to editing and producing the content within our membership and social media channels. He co-hosts our podcast and brings a light hearted and understanding approach to PCOS management. When Tallene and Sirak met, he swept her off her feet with the slow, weighted workout approach that has now become part of the PCOS Weight Loss Method.

Natasha Wilch inspires people to start — and stay! — moving in the direction of their goals and dreams in life. An entrepreneur, speaker, and registered physical therapist specializing in
concussion therapy, Natasha knows from experience that there are two things in order to live our best life: hope that the change we seek is actually possible and the support of someone who
cares about our success.

And she knows from experience. In her physical therapy practice, Natasha and her team help hundreds of people each year recover from debilitating concussion symptoms and reclaim their lives by getting back to work, back to playing with their kids, and simply living life again.

She’s the founder of Symphony Rehabilitation, a multi-disciplinary clinic that provides concussion rehabilitation for individuals suffering from acute and prolonged concussion symptoms. Her clinic pioneered concussion rehabilitation and telehealth treatment models, for which she received the Canadian Futurepreneur Entrepreneur of the Year Award, The Vancouver Island Business & Community Achievement Award, and was named in the top 400 businesses in Canada by the RBC Women of Influence Entrepreneur Awards. Natasha credits the support of an amazing community of women for giving her the courage to take the first step towards her dream of starting her own business. Wanting to give the same supportive environment to others on their concussion journey, she Co-Founded Concussion Compass, an
online community that provides individuals with post-concussion symptoms the support, knowledge, and tools critical to their recovery journey.

Natasha loves sharing her knowledge about achieving goals, finding and building communities, and the importance of awareness and education about concussion. When she’s not doing that, you’ll find her with her husband and three children at the BMX track.

Otherwise, she’s probably dancing somewhere.

I am dedicating today's episode to discussing what the order of results says about your health protocol. We are told that weight loss should be the first and only result that matters when it comes to making lifestyle changes, but this completely overlooks how you feel and any internal changes you experience. 

While body composition changes are important, they will follow if things are on track internally. Sustainable results start from the inside. The goal of this episode is to open the conversation around these issues and share ways you can improve your health.

Joanna Vargas creates her life. A powerhouse entrepreneur right out of high school, Joanna never worked corporate and chose the path less traveled. At 20 years old she formed her corporation, took all of her savings and produced a dance showcase in Hollywood called The King of Pop. With Joanna’s quick (some might say crazy) work ideas, this venture quickly turned into a dance competition called Maxt Out now going on its 20th year.

Using keen street smarts and with no professional business training, she created Jayvee Dance studio by the time she was 24 and built that business to 700 students. A true serial entrepreneur, Joanna sold that dance studio and prepared to design her next download (from The Universe).

Joanna recognized a gap in conversations about mindset and physical form when it came to fitness and responded with the solution, The Fit Factor Studio; a wildly successful brick and mortar fitness studio catering to women, their mindset and living fully. In the process, Joanna’s own work-life philosophy, built on the principles of asking better questions and getting really curious about life, inspired her to make the choice to close the physical doors and go completely virtual with The Live Fully Academy. Now serving women all over the world with her Three F’s; Form, Fundamentals and Fun, a new thought leader for Gen X and Millennial women.

Known for her open book candor and positive vibe, Joanna proposed to her city that she start a 5K run, it was then the Pumpkin Run 1K/5K/10K Halloween event was born. Her superpower is getting butts in seats, and this run brings 1,500 runners every year with no paid advertisements (a little fun fact for our fellow entrepreneurs). By the time she was 32 she was running four businesses and choosing for her. With learning how to choose herself, she now facilitates other female business owners to do the same.

This summer Joanna launched two new podcasts - The Get Up Girl and Dance Your Life. The Get Up Girl is a rally cry for all the women who are different and were taught to choose for others, who are now ready to Get Up and choose for themselves. Dance Your Life is a podcast of dance conversations, for dancers, by dancers and developed to educate dancers all over the world with stories and wisdom.

Awarded Woman of the Year Congressional Honor by Congressman Adam Schiff and Woman of the Year Congressional Honor by Judy Chu, Joanna is a well respected female business owner and creator. Named Business of the Year by her city along with many other business awards, Joanna has earned her way to the frontlines of business during times when choosing yourself and the roads less traveled were not celebrated. With the entirety of her career devoted to inspiring her sisters to wake up and live fully, 2020 is poised to be Joanna’s biggest year yet. The Get Up Girl is her latest creation to surpass her upper limits and expand energetically to avenues she hasn’t discovered yet, and YOU are invited for the ride as she redefines what getting back up really looks and feels like.

In October 2016, Richard Jacobs started the Future Tech Podcast, which has now become the Finding Genius Podcast – the goal was to learn about ‘round-the-corner’ new technologies, such as Artificial Intelligence, 3D printing, stem cells, regenerative medicine, Bitcoin and blockchain, and more.

Due to a major health crisis in 2017, Richard decided to focus more on health, medicine and bioscience issues that affect all of us as human beings.

In the middle of 2019, Richard realized that what he was actually doing (and had been doing for 15+ years) was seeking out the best of the best in any given field – the 1 in 1,000 genius practitioner in their field – and interviewing them to learn everything he could. Richard calls this: “Finding Geniuses” and it has since become the new name for this podcast – The Finding Genius Podcast.

"I stand for authenticity and my mission is to lead an authentic life inspiring women to confidently embody their authentic power through living their healthiest life at their ideal weight. You see I lived an inauthentic life for years that stole my joy and robbed me of memories I will never get back. I am a fitness and weight loss coach, wife, mother and entrepreneur but I am also a recovered anorexic, bulimic, orthorexic and over exercise addict. Food took my power from me and led me to an inauthentic life filled with the deep dark shame of binge eating and diet yo yo vicious cycles. I understand the powerlessness. I also understand the demands of daily life and have found my niche in helping other women of any age become their most authentic healthiest selves and FREE them of the chains of the vicious diet you yo cycle.. For the past 13 years I have trained and coached primarily women, I have competed in fitness competitions at the national level, and written nutrition programs for women and men with all types of health, wellness and fitness goals. I was the owner, operator and founder of an elite fitness studio, a yoga studio and I was the founder and creator of a nutrition bar company.

I have the first hand experience on how you can break free and transform your fitness and health to become more than just your BODY. As women we have been culturally programmed to align our self worth with our physical bodies. My goal is to help empower and guide you through authentic, honest, and real life weight loss. I will give you the tools necessary to create attainable and sustainable goals and free you of unhealthy expectations.

You are not your BODY. You are so much more. Let me help you discover how you can become free from the expectations and learn to love fitness, love your body and love your whole self."

I am dedicating today's episode to sharing how to optimize your body and mind for long term success. If you are looking for a quick fix for weight loss, but have a sick body, you will end up tired and discouraged.

Why?

Because weight loss is typically a side effect not the core issue. If you are dealing with sickness, disease, imbalance, etc. your body is focused on fighting that, not the weight!

Without your body working optimally, there is typically no way you can get your metabolism and system to shed fat unless you address the underlying issues. In this episode, I share some of the ways that you can start to turn your health around and shift your mindset for consistency and long term results.

I am dedicating today's episode to discussing the ins and outs of fertility for both women and men! 

When it comes to fertility, its important to know about the fertility basics and some of the more complex issues. When I discuss fertility, I take a different approach than many people. So many women just focus on trying to get pregnant, whereas I approach fertility beyond that one goal. Fertility should be about getting your body to a healthy point, sustaining a pregnancy, having a healthy birth and baby and THEN a healthy life afterwards! So many health professionals just focus on the goal of getting pregnant.

Dr. Ann-Marie Barter is on the cutting edge of holistic healthcare. As a chiropractor and functional medicine practitioner, she helps people get out of pain and reach their maximum potential through her unique approach she has developed after studying under some of the finest minds in her field.

Dr. Barter has always had a mind for high level problem solving. In her early 20's she was introduced to chiropractic, whereas she had been very skeptical until it changed her life. The treatment was like magic - she felt new and light, like a better version of herself. She immersed herself in school, learning not only the art and science of chiropractic modalities, but also functional blood chemistry analysis, nutrition, applied kinesiology and natural remedies. She now specializes in difficult functional medicine cases, helping people with issues concerning their thyroid, blood sugar, gut health and hormone dysfunction as well as other metabolic conditions.

Dr. Barter went to Chiropractic school at the University of Western States in Portland, Oregon, but when she found out her mother was diagnosed with late stage cancer they moved to Colorado to fulfill her mother’s dream and she opened her first practice. These days Dr. Barter can be found dancing, skiing, running, practicing yoga, biking, hiking, practicing barre or walking her Rhodesian Ridgeback, Ritz.

The truth is, failure sucks. It's not that easy to just say "well, it's a learning experience" although that may be true. We are ingrained with a very male-dominant mindset. It's the "just power through it" epidemic. It's forced.

In this episode I am diving into why certain events, stress and trauma that you've experienced in your life are likely holding you back from getting the results you are trying so hard to achieve.

A lot of this information is not main stream, and it's not your fault. We just haven't been taught these things which is why it's so much of a struggle.

The biggest missing piece that is overlooked is really addressing the underlying hormone issues. For example, if you've had a hysterectomy due to fibrioids, and after the surgery you feel your symptoms have improved. Yet now 4 years later you start to experience different symptoms of the underlying hormone issue that wasn't addressed.

We also fail to take into account different stressful situations that we have dealt with and how they affect our results now. If you've had to deal with a divorce, stress with a job, trauma, all of these things affect the results you are currently getting.

I'm going to dive further into all of these things in this episode!

We are the founders and daily hustling duo of Fan Girl. We are two local Minnesota girls who have been growing our friendship since the second grade.

As best friends, we have always been super supportive of one another's goals and dreams. Over the years, we have both followed an endless number of educational and job opportunities. While some were just ok and some were great, we always knew we wanted to create something of our own.

Early last year, we started meeting weekly for coffee to brainstorm and bounce ideas off each other. After many weeks and many cups of light roast... we sparked a thought. Why don't women have any trendy options for sports apparel?

We realized there is no sports gear that is current, understated, and versatile enough to wear to a football game, the gym, or even brunch with friends! From these realizations, Fan Girl was born!

Fan Girls are hardworking, authentic, and genuine women. They grind on the daily at their jobs or in school and are always working to achieve greater success.

Fan Girls work hard so they can play, laugh, and enjoy life harder! We are just here to make sure they look good while doing it! We are here to bring you trendy, affordable, handmade styles to amp up your wardrobe.

After growing up in the Midwest, Lori felt an immediate pull to the energy of New York City. She spent the first six years of her career working on Wall Street, traveling the world as an interest rate swap broker for emerging markets. In the midst of a crackdown on Wall Street regulations, she pivoted and collaborated in building an electronic side of the business, and went on to become one of the top revenue-generating female brokers in her company.

After leaving Wall Street, Lori dipped her toes into several businesses, including personal training and real estate. She ended up making an appearance on the reality series Million Dollar Listing, which was quite fun, but also helped her to realize that her true passion was in entrepreneurship and helping others to pursue their dreams and live their best lives.

To get some experience in the startup world, Lori took on a position as Head of Marketing and Sales for a pet product startup in Long Island, where she learned an incredible amount of valuable information about building a business. She was able to combine her new startup knowledge with her passion for animal welfare to build a socially conscious vegan coffee creamer company called Unicreamer that gives back to animal welfare programs.

The main inspiration for Unicreamer actually started during her Wall Street years when her hectic lifestyle lead to various health issues and weight gain. Supplementing her coffee with vitamins and protein throughout the day was the driving force behind her new found health and she knew she could help others as well.

In this episode I am diving into the 4 Steps to Fat Loss & Balancing Hormones all without having to do some crazy diet, or spending hours in the gym.

Most women dive into a diet without actually priming their body to be ready for it, which results in yo-yo dieting. 

You've probably experienced this same effect, you start off all in and confident this will be the thing to work for you. And you may be successful for a period of time, but ultimately you end up falling off, and gaining the weight back.

It's a terrible cycle most women go through their entire lives.

I want to change that, and this episode I'm teaching you how.

I also talk a bit about the clients I work with, and right now I am taking on One to One Coaching Clients for a very limited time. If this sounds like the next best step for you, fill out an application here: https://dr-beth-westie.mykajabi.com/vip

Have you ever started a new exercise routine in a new gym and felt super uncomfortable?

Maybe you don't feel like you belong, or you aren't sure where to start, and you are all by yourself.

But, while part of hitting your goals, is getting started it's important to find something you love.

It's a matter of finding what works best for you. As women we are drawn to a sense of community.

Which is why all of these boutique gyms or fitness centers are popping up and doing really well.

It's a great way to feel comfortable, get in a good workout, and really find a sense of community.

In this episode I dive more into finding this connection and what might be best for you.

Alex (M.D.) and Megan (Health Coach & Functional Diagnostic Nutrition Practitioner) work with pre-menopausal women in an online group format.

They focus on balancing hormones and supporting detoxification by teaching women to use the phases of their menstrual cycles to their advantage.

The natural ebb and flow that happens to our hormones, organ systems, and bodies overall as women is there to renew and strengthen us. When we work with the natural cycles of our bodies, we allow ourselves to heal and recover on a level that few of us ever reach when we operate within the “rules” of the hectic modern world.

Even the alternative medicine world has lost its connection to how the female body operates. Most protocols and health programs out there show no regard for the cycles that govern the flow of our bodies as women. By focusing on different activities, elixirs, foods and rituals each week of your cycle we can help the body to detoxify naturally. A good example of our recent guide of how to work WITH your cycle can be found here - http://www.zestyginger.com/cycle/

Ginny Mahar, founder of Hypothyroid Chef, and Danna Bowman, founder of Thyroid Nation, are two of those women, and they were brought together by the lack of resources and community available to women diagnosed with thyroid disease.

Adjusting to a new lifestyle, and particularly a new diet, can be challenging - especially when you're a Cordon Bleu-trained chef and cooking instructor like Ginny or a Zumba instructor with an active lifestyle, like Danna. From joint pain to a lack of energy and brain fog, both women had experienced the power diet and lifestyle changes could have on their overall health and well-being.

From that conversation, THYROID30 was born, a 30-day wellness adventure for thyroid patients. This first-of-its-kind program is designed to empower and support those looking to implement thyroid-specific diet and lifestyle changes, providing much-needed tools for patients and practitioners alike.

In this episode Deja and I dive into the Theory of Relevance.

Basically the theory states that if you don't make decisions in alignment with your ultimate goal, you will struggle to get there.

We have seen this both in the women we work with and in business, and we touch on both in this episode.

One of the biggest areas we see women struggle with this, is setting a weight loss goal that is tied to the scale.

When in reality it's often not the number women are aiming for, rather the way they will look, feel, and the things they will gain from that healthier lifestyle.

We dive into this and much more in this episode!

In this episode I am diving into the differences between men and women's bodies.

A lot of times we get hung up on the number on the scale, or the fact that we may weigh more than our male counterpart.

However that weight distribution is different between genders. Men for example tend to have more muscle mass in their upper body, whereas women tend to have more muscle mass in their lower body. It's just how we are designed.

It's important to know what you are training your body for, and how your body type compares.

My goal for this episode is to give you a different perspective on your body shape, and frame compared to your male counterpart.

Progress is progress.

We've heard this phrase before, but what do I mean?

It seems like as women we have a hard time giving ourself credit for how far we've come. When we really take a step back and look at where we came from, and how different things are now it's incredible.

Whether it be in our careers, families, with our health, etc.

It's SO important to take a step back and really give yourself the credit you deserve for how far you've come.

In this episode I share a look at my progress, and where I've come from to where I am now.

And I give you a gentle nudge to do the same for you!

Someone recently said to me "I think everyone needs a coach." And I so agree with this statement for the most part.

We can't all be experts in everything, so if there is an area you're focusing in on, why not get someone to help you who knows what they're doing?

In the end that costs you less time, less frustration, faster results, etc. etc.

But when is the best time to hire a coach? When is the best time to invest your money into someone to help you achieve the result you're looking for?

In this episode I dive into this a bit more, and give you some scenarios of when it might be time to hire a coach!

I was recently on a phone call with a woman in my current 12 Week Program, and some of the things she was telling me as far as results goes, was blowing my mind.

Weight loss sure, inches gone yep. More energy, better workouts, etc. etc.

But what a lot of people don't talk about is the life changing parts of a program.

The things you will stop tolerating in your life, because you know better.

When you are able to be more in tune with your body that you can feel when something is too much and you back off.

What if you were able to have the confidence to go up to your boss and say "You know what, this is causing me too much stress, it's overloading me, and I'm not able to handle it right now. I need to take care of myself, and take a step back."

How would that alone change things for you? The ability to say No to more things that aren't in your best interest.

In this episode we dive into this.

What is the true cost of health?

Every single person faces the cost objection of health at some point. You are put in a situation where you have to decide if the problem is worth fixing for that cost.

Dr. Patrick Flynn grew up in Crivitz, a small town in Wisconsin. The classic class charmer with an affinity for fun, Dr. Flynn was inspired early in life to understand the human body when teachers labeled him as “troubled and hyper” (reflecting a modern day ADHD diagnosis). Rather than turning to medication, he turned to education, and as a 13 year old boy began to devour every anatomy book the library had to offer. Little did he know that this pursuit of understanding would be the beginning of a lifetime of revolutionizing America’s approach to healthcare. It was when his wife, Christy, informed him of her infertility that his passion became clear: understanding hormones, the building blocks of life. Dr. Flynn continued his studies relentlessly, and began to build his practice around achieving the best clinical outcomes for patients by testing for and addressing the cause of dysfunction, rather than focusing on symptoms. As such, he has been able to successfully guide patients with a wide variety of clinical diagnoses to restored function, including his wife, with whom he now has four beautiful daughters. Dr. Flynn has used his unique approach as the foundation of The Wellness Way clinics, a growing network of practices located across the United States dedicated to pioneering new concepts in healthcare to restore wellness to the entire nation. Along with his consistent study and research into human physiology, anatomy, nutrition, herbal medicine and chiropractic principles, Dr. Flynn is a compelling and dynamic national speaker and author. His life’s calling is being realized as he, along with The Wellness Way clinics, continue to impact lives in communities nationwide with the principles of how the body functions and the message of true health.
