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 uncom...

I get asked ALL the time, "Why am I so tired?" Many doctors will just look at someone and tell them to "just lose 20 lb and you won't be so tired" when really there is much more to the picture. Something to consider with fatigue - are you able to feel better after more sleep? If not, there is definitely a deeper issue and it has NOTHING to do with laziness. Many times it's an adrenal/cortisol issue, so I wanted to spend some time on what this looks like. The goal of this episode is to open the c...

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. In this episode,...

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 I work with someone one on one, we actually test all of these things - gut markers, genetic markers and hormone levels! Many women come to me thinking they don't have enough "motivation" or "willpower", when really their adrenals are completely burnt out, for exam...

Most women find themselves struggling with their health at some point and it can be so isolating to navigate it alone. That being said, not everyone is comfortable in a group setting and sometimes the health issues need more one on one attention. It can be tempting to work on things alone, especially if you find yourself at rock bottom. Support and accountability is a game changer especially for long term consistency! In this episode, I share more about the clients who have found themselves isol...

When it comes to stress and cortisol, we are often talking about how to lower it or bad cortisol. What about a healthy cortisol response? We don't want to get rid of cortisol entirely. Cortisol is like the three bears, you need an amount that is "just right". A stress response can actually keep your body safe in some circumstances and a healthy stress response is more about how your body regulates after the event. In this episode, I discuss what it looks like to regulate stress properly and how ...
