Lately, every time I talk to a client (or honestly, a friend), the same thing comes up: “I’m so tired. I’m taking electrolytes, eating clean, supplementing magnesium… doing everything right, but I still feel off.” And I get it because I’ve been feeling that too. So, I sat down with my friend Dr. Heather Rhodes, and we started comparing notes - our clients’ labs, our own tests, and all the little things women are saying right now. What we discovered finally made a lot of sense when we truly to...

Are you constantly tired, moody, or bloated, and wondering how the heck you got here when you’re doing all the right things? Let’s unpack something most women have never even heard of but definitely feel the effects of: mineral depletion. Specifically, the slow oxidizer pattern that keeps your energy low, your PMS raging, and your emotions stuck on numb. I’ve seen this same pattern in hundreds of high-achieving women, and today, I’m breaking it down in a way that finally makes sense. Be...

Tell me if this sounds familiar: your period app says it’s right on track, but your mood, energy, and skin all seem to have missed the memo.

Let’s get real for a minute: Are you still feeling hangry, cranky, and wiped out all too often, even while doing your best to eat clean and healthy? I’ve been right where you are - frustrated and exhausted - until I realized I was missing balance with one super important thing: protein. And yes, I know you’ve heard a million times that protein matters. But what if you’re still not getting it right, even when you think you are? I was making the same mistake for years. That’s why I made t...
This one's for the girlies!

Have you ever felt a surge of anger or anxiety so suddenly it almost scared you? Like that moment when a simple request from your child suddenly sends a wave of frustration through you.

As a mom of four, she spoke openly about her own journey through seasons of anxiety and feeling completely overwhelmed by her emotions. She open...

You know those times when you’re eating well and doing your best, but something still feels off: you’re dragging through the afternoon, snapping at your kids, or your period won’t get on a schedule. I can’t tell you how many women come to me with that same story: no processed food in the house, meals that look healthy, but deep down their hormones are struggling.

Ever wonder why you crash in the afternoon or feel extra moody before your period? I used to blame it on being a mom and hormones, but after working with lots of clients, I found a common thread: blood sugar imbalance. Blood sugar isn’t just a diabetic thing, it affects everyone’s mood, PMS, and energy. In this episode, I share how blood sugar affects your hormones and what you can do about it. Spoiler: you don’t need a total life overhaul, sometimes it just takes one simple change. You...
Is today the day you're questioning everything again, laying on the couch with cramps or fighting an irritable/anxious/sad mood wondering “Why do I feel like this every month?” You may have been told that it's your low progesterone OR you may have self-diagnosed that your progesterone is imbalanced, so today we're going to talk about how you can get to the bottom of the progesterone puzzle and start to see less mood swings, less spotting, and longer, more predictable cycles. We'll talk ...

I'm opening up about what it looks like to walk through ongoing stress, what it’s doing to my body and hormones, and how I’m learning to shift out ...
A question for all my amazing mamas out there: Are you ready for the fall routine? It's fine if you're still figuring it out! Just a gentle nudge to remind you that now is the perfect time to shift some of that focus back onto yourself, not just the kids or everyone else in your life. I get it. Summer feels like this beautiful blur - slow mornings, late nights, kids everywhere, and routines flying out the window. Then suddenly, school is back, mornings feel like a sprint, and your hormones ar...
