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 Metabol...

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 fe...

Raise your hand if you were part of the "clean plate club" growing up.  Or maybe you saw your mom go through diet after diet, trying to shrink her body to feel better about yourself.  Fats were demonized. Carbs were thrown in the trash. Or maybe food was scarce altogether.  Many of us know what it's like to model a BAD relationship with food, but how do we turn this around for our kids?  As a mom...

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.

Did you know on average, women gain 7 to 10 pounds during menopause, even if they're eating right and exercising regularly.  "I'm doing everything right—why isn't the weight coming off?" I hear this almost every day from women who are fed up with their bodies as they age.  Here are some topics covered in this episode:  1. More Exercise Isn't Always the Answer 2. Focus on Muscle Mass 3. Protein and...

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...

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 ab...

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 wa...

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...

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 r...

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....

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. Wi...

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 hormon...

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...

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 stre...

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...

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. Simp...

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 Cre...

Here's a breakdown of how your hormones change and how you can adjust your workouts accordingly: Menstrual Phase (Days 1-5): Hormones: Estrogen and progesterone are at their lowest levels.

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 chil...

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,...

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 8...

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 (L...
