Boost your energy, balance hormones naturally, and heal holistically all without uprooting your entire life! Learn the secrets to balancing your hormones at: freehormonetraining.com.


Have you ever tried to Google your symptoms only to slam the laptop shut in frustration? Do you want natural, holistic solutions that actually work? Are you tired of being told that everything is normal, when you know it’s not? Are you ready to take back your health to live your best life? 


In this podcast, you’ll discover why your cycle is so important to your everyday health and how you can use nutrition to help support the rise and fall of your hormones and finally feel truly amazing. We dig deep to understand and heal the root causes of your symptoms so you can achieve lasting results that allow you to live a healthy and balanced life without a life-long pharmaceutical prescription. 


If you're ready to reclaim your energy, learn how to listen to your body, and holistically improve your overall health, you're in the right place! I’ll be sharing my tried and true methods for blood sugar balance, improved sleep quality, weight loss, and increased energy levels so you can live your healthiest life all without unreasonable lifestyle shifts, like restrictive dieting or excessive supplementing.


I’m Leah Brueggemann, a Functional Diagnostic Nutritional® Practitioner and Hormone Health Coach, helping you balance your hormones in effective and realistic ways so you can live a healthier, happier life.


Five years ago, I found out I had fibroadenomas (benign breast tumors), which 90% of the time return after surgical removal. I decided not to undergo the operation and instead found a way to heal the underlying cause. After years of extreme pain, irregular cycles, and ovarian cysts, I finally learned how to balance my hormones which healed my fibroadenomas and led me to regular, pain-free periods. 


I learned how to make lifestyle shifts, remove toxins from my environment, and give my body what it actually needs to function optimally and heal on a cellular level. After my experience, I became a Functional Diagnostic Nutritional® Practitioner so that I can empower women in their own holistic health journey.


Even if you’ve been told your labs are normal or that your symptoms aren’t a cause for concern - YOU are the expert of your body and your experience. You deserve to feel AMAZING, not just “normal”. I’m here to help you achieve optimal overall health through simple, straightforward lifestyle changes that you can start to implement today. 


Balancing Hormones Naturally isn’t just the name of the podcast, it’s the way forward to a happier, healthier life and I can’t wait to join you on the journey!

Balancing Hormones Naturally
Can Hormonal Imbalance Cause Anxiety? (And How to Escape It)

If you’ve ever asked yourself, “Is my anxiety causing my hormone issues, or are my hormones causing my anxiety?” this episode is for you. Anxiety and hormone imbalance often fuel each other in a loop that leaves you feeling stuck, overwhelmed, and frustrated.


In this episode I’m sharing:

  • How high (and then low) cortisol from chronic stress disrupts blood sugar, ovulation, thyroid, and digestion
  • Why PMS, mood swings, fatigue, and irregular cycles are often tied to your nervous system being stuck in fight-or-flight
  • The connection between stress, progesterone, and why your body can’t “keep calm and carry on” when cortisol takes priority
  • How poor digestion under stress blocks nutrient absorption, slows detox, and worsens hormone imbalances
  • Why sugar cravings spike during stress as your body seeks dopamine—and how that leads to even more anxiety
  • Practical ways to rewire thought patterns, regulate your nervous system daily, and create new feedback loops for calm
  • The role of minerals like magnesium and potassium in supporting your nervous system and why deficiency makes it harder to heal


Anxiety isn’t just “in your head.” It’s in your hormones, your minerals, and your body’s stress response. This episode will help you understand the cycle, break it, and start building tools that bring both your mind and hormones back into balance.

Chapters:
00:00 Understanding the Connection Between Anxiety and Hormones

06:06 The Impact of Stress on Hormonal Health

12:08 Breaking the Cycle of Anxiety and Hormonal Imbalance

18:09 Rewiring Thought Patterns for Better Health

23:53 Practical Tools for Managing Anxiety and Hormonal Health

Balancing Hormones Naturally
The Real Reason You Can’t Stop Craving Sugar (and How to Stop the Cycle Naturally)

If you’ve ever found yourself standing in the kitchen with a bag of chocolate, telling yourself you’ll “start fresh on Monday,” this episode is for you. Sugar cravings aren’t about having no will power, they’re powerful signals from your body about hormones, blood sugar, and even mineral balance.


In this episode I’m sharing:

  • Why the blood sugar roller coaster (spike → crash → crave) keeps you stuck in a cycle you can’t willpower your way out of
  • Sneaky foods that spike blood sugar (yes, even smoothies, juices, and fruit on their own) and how to pair them for optimal blood sugar balance
  • How progesterone shifts your insulin sensitivity and ramps up cravings before your period
  • Why stress and high cortisol levels make your cravings worse, and what your CGM would show during a tough meeting
  • The mineral deficiencies (especially magnesium, sodium, and potassium) that make cravings worse and how to spot if that chocolate obsession is really your body asking for minerals
  • Why parasites (yep, gross but true) and dopamine-seeking behaviors can fuel nighttime cravings
  • My “Craving Reset” approach to stabilize blood sugar, support progesterone, replenish minerals, and calm the nervous system naturally

Remember: cravings aren’t a weakness. They’re a message. This episode will help you decode what your body is asking for and give you practical tools to break free from the constant cycle of sugar highs and crashes.

Chapters:
00:00 Understanding Stress and Cravings
02:29 The Blood Sugar Roller Coaster
08:20 The Role of Hormones in Cravings
13:43 Mineral Deficiencies and Cravings
16:26 The Impact of Parasites on Cravings
19:19 Practical Steps to Manage Cravings
24:45 Supporting Hormonal Balance

Balancing Hormones Naturally
4 Simple Solutions When Ovulation Is Delayed (Or Doesn’t Happen at All)

If you're sitting on day 30 of your cycle wondering why you haven't ovulated yet, this episode is for you. Ovulation is like a monthly report card for overall health. When it's delayed or missing, your body is missing out on progesterone, your "keep calm and carry on" hormone that stabilizes mood, improves sleep, and supports metabolism.

In this episode I'm sharing:

• Why stress (both obvious and hidden internal stress like food sensitivities) literally hijacks hormone production and delays ovulation

• The nutrient deficiencies that prevent ovulation (magnesium, B vitamins, & zinc) and why your "normal" labs might miss the real story

• How thyroid issues and PCOS mess with ovulation timing, even when doctors say you're fine

• Why that intense workout routine or restrictive diet sends your body into survival mode

• My exact approach to get ovulation back on track naturally

Remember: ovulation brings your period. No ovulation means no real period just withdrawal bleeds that fool you into thinking everything's fine. This episode will help you get to the root of why your body hits pause on ovulation and what you can do to get back on track.

Why Supplements Won't Fix Your Low Progesterone

If you’ve been taking progesterone supplementation but still have low progesterone, you’re not alone. Taking progesterone doesn't "fix" the underlying issue. In this episode, I’m breaking down why progesterone issues are often rooted in deeper stress, hormone, and nervous system imbalances and why supplements alone won’t solve the whole picture.

Why Do My Lab Results Say I'm Fine When I Feel Awful?

It’s one of the most frustrating parts of navigating your healthy journey when your basic labs come back “normal,” but you feel anything but fine.

I've Tested Clean Beauty Brands So You Don’t Have to

Have you ever wondered if “clean” makeup is actually clean or just another marketing trick?

I’ve been there too and this episode is for every woman who’s tried to switch to cleaner makeup, only to be overwhelmed by ingredient lists, disappointed by performance, or just left wondering what’s actually safe.

This week, I’m walking you through my personal (and slightly chaotic) journey of testing a ton of clean beauty brands—from the fails to the holy grails. 

I’m not a makeup artist, just someone who really cares about what goes on my skin and how it actually wears throughout the day.

I’ll be sharing my honest reviews on brands like RMS Beauty, PiperBlue, Crunchi, Kosas, and so many more. 

You’ll hear which ones passed the ingredient test, which ones totally blew me away performance-wise, and which ones... well, didn’t make the cut.

We’re talking texture, blendability, wear time, and—because you know I care—fragrance, parabens, talc, and all the sneaky toxins I won’t touch.

So if you’ve ever stood in the beauty aisle thinking, ‘what do I even buy?’ this one’s for you.

Tune in now to learn more!


Key Takeaways: 

Introduction (00:00)

Why clean makeup is important (00:49)

My brand reviews (05:50)

Don’t Get Tricked by the Latest Wellness Trends

Ladies, today, I’m here to… complain—or at least, say one thing: I’m tired of being told my salad is killing me; and I bet, so are you!

Health advice can be so overwhelming, especially with the vast amount of information available on the internet, coming from doctors, fitness influencers, wellness gurus, and everyone else in between. 

And what’s worse is that a lot of the advice we read often contradicts itself: eat meat, don’t eat meat, dairy is bad for you, dairy is good for you, oat milk is the way to go, oat milk will raise your blood sugar and give you diabetes, etc…

So it’s no surprise that we’re all so tired of keeping track of all the things we should and shouldn’t use or consume.

This is why, in this episode, I’ll be addressing the overload of conflicting health advice that leaves many of us confused and overwhelmed. From keto to carnivore to fearing vegetables for their oxalates, I will be unpacking how trends dominate the wellness space and distract us from sustainable, common-sense approaches to health.

If you've ever felt paralyzed by the contradictions in wellness advice, this episode is your permission slip to simplify.

Tune in now to learn more.


Key Takeaways: 

Introduction (00:00)

Navigating conflicting health advice (00:49)

Where to seek balance? (05:01)

How to avoid information overload (08:15)

The Shocking Truth About Candida (Don’t Take It Lightly!) | Dr. Michael Biamonte

Have you found yourself asking over and over, “Why do my symptoms keep coming back?”

That’s what so many patients have asked after years of battling mystery symptoms—bloating, fatigue, skin issues, brain fog, and more.

The root cause? Often overlooked. Often misunderstood. CANDIDA.

Everyone has Candida. It’s a subdominant organism that naturally exists in the body, particularly in the microbiome. 

But problems begin when Candida overgrows and becomes dominant. That’s when it starts to populate, releasing so many toxins into your system that you feel horrible. 

And here’s the hard truth: Candida isn’t easy to get rid of.

In this episode of Balancing Hormones Naturally, I sit down with Dr. Michael Biamonte, a pioneering expert in Candida treatment and author of The Candida Chronicles.

With over three decades of clinical experience and multiple certifications, Dr. Biamonte reveals why Candida is notoriously difficult to eliminate and how its multi-phase protocol changes everything.

We also dive deep into:

  • How Candida mutates and why standard treatments often fail
  • Why probiotics often don’t work (and when they actually can)
  • How long does it really take to eliminate
  • How Candida impacts your thyroid and adrenal health
  • Why proper testing is everything

…and more!

If you’ve been dealing with unexplained fatigue, persistent gut issues, or recurring symptoms that no one can seem to fix, this episode could be your missing link.

Tune in now!


Key Takeaways: 

Introduction (00:00)

Explaining Candida’s dimorphic nature (01:56)

Testing limitations for Candida (04:08) 

Why rotating antifungals is critical (07:19)

Key symptoms of Candida overgrowth (10:02)

How long does it take to get rid of Candida (13:52)

The link between mold and Candida (18:26)

Adrenal fatigue after Candida treatment (19:43)

What happens when Candida leaves your body (23:52)

Candida produces toxins like alcohol (24:50)

Real-life Candida case stories (28:02)

Why our guest began researching Candida (30:08)

Final thoughts (34:47)

Balancing Hormones Naturally
How My Client Beat Chronic Migraines and Food Guilt

Are you struggling with your health and not sure where to start? 

Have you tried every tip you’ve found online to combat fatigue, brain fog, and maybe even an unhealthy relationship with food, but haven’t seen any lasting results? 

This is the episode for you.

In it, I sit down with a former client of mine, Genevieve, who went through my Hormone Reset Program and achieved amazing results. 

Genevieve is a young healthcare worker with a long struggle with migraines and a negative relationship with food—and she overcame both through working on her hormones.

After dealing with debilitating migraines, problematic periods, and constant bruising, she decided to take control of her health with the help of a holistic approach; and that led her straight to me!

In this episode, she shares her journey through the Hormone Reset Program. She and I also discuss the challenges that come with the program, breaking past diet myths about carbs, why a mindset shift is a must if you want to heal your body, how to achieve long-term sustainable health improvement, and so much more.

Want to learn more about Genevieve’s journey?

Then tune in now!

Have you ever tried to Google your symptoms only to slam the laptop shut in frustration? Do you want natural, holistic solutions that actually work? Are you tired of being told that everything is normal, when you know it’s not? Are you ready to take back your health to live your best life? 


In this podcast, you’ll discover why your cycle is so important to your everyday health and how you can use nutrition to help support the rise and fall of your hormones and finally feel truly amazing. We dig deep to understand and heal the root causes of your symptoms so you can achieve lasting results that allow you to live a healthy and balanced life without a life-long pharmaceutical prescription. 


If you're ready to reclaim your energy, learn how to listen to your body, and holistically improve your overall health, you're in the right place! I’ll be sharing my tried and true methods for blood sugar balance, improved sleep quality, weight loss, and increased energy levels so you can live your healthiest life all without unreasonable lifestyle shifts, like restrictive dieting or excessive supplementing.


I’m Leah Brueggemann, a Functional Diagnostic Nutritional® Practitioner and Hormone Health Coach, helping you balance your hormones in effective and realistic ways so you can live a healthier, happier life.


Five years ago, I found out I had fibroadenomas (benign breast tumors), which 90% of the time return after surgical removal. I decided not to undergo the operation and instead found a way to heal the underlying cause. After years of extreme pain, irregular cycles, and ovarian cysts, I finally learned how to balance my hormones which healed my fibroadenomas and led me to regular, pain-free periods. 


I learned how to make lifestyle shifts, remove toxins from my environment, and give my body what it actually needs to function optimally and heal on a cellular level. After my experience, I became a Functional Diagnostic Nutritional® Practitioner so that I can empower women in their own holistic health journey.


Even if you’ve been told your labs are normal or that your symptoms aren’t a cause for concern - YOU are the expert of your body and your experience. You deserve to feel AMAZING, not just “normal”. I’m here to help you achieve optimal overall health through simple, straightforward lifestyle changes that you can start to implement today. 


Balancing Hormones Naturally isn’t just the name of the podcast, it’s the way forward to a happier, healthier life and I can’t wait to join you on the journey!
