For the longest time, I thought I was totally alone in my struggle with missing periods. It wasn't until I first opened up about my hormonal imbalance and hypothalamic amenorrhea on episode 16 that so many others started sharing their experiences with me, looking for a path to regaining their cycle. As it turns out, this issue is far too common, especially among women who are involved in the world of health and fitness. Why is it that the journey to greater health is leaving many of us without o...

Gut health has exploded in the last few years, and I think now is certainly as good a time as any to be paying attention to our gut health. With the topic of immunity on our minds, the gut isn't often the first place we think of-- but it should be. As you'll learn, "gut health IS immune health!" What impacts our gut the most? Turns out it's not just what you eat, but what you're not eating. In this episode, Dr. B returns to the show to discuss the dangers of restrictive diets, the reason why so ...

Have you ever traveled somewhere and immediately felt connected to it? Or maybe you've been somewhere that felt really off, but you couldn't quite put your finger on it. Well, there's actually an explanation for that, and it's called astrogeography. I had the great pleasure of chatting with astrogeography and north nodes expert Dara Dubinet all about how "the astrology of place" and interpreting your north node (your soul path) can help you to not only understand where you've been, but guide you...

These are crazy times, there's no denying that. With the majority of the world in quarantine, plans postponed or cancelled, businesses struggling, loved ones forbidden from seeing each other, there is a lot of uncertainty circulating and as human nature would have it, uncertainty breeds fear. But it doesn't have to be this way. When our circumstances feel out of our control, what we always have control over is our responsibility-- that is, our ability to respond rather than react. This episode g...

Identity, Intuition, Integration, Intention. These are the 4 guiding principles I've come to live, learn, and love by. These are the pillars of what The HYE Life is all about! I'm grateful to be able to share this interview I had with another wellness entrepreneur from an online summit series. We talked about these 4 concepts, how they provide a blueprint for us to take a closer look at our lifestyle and daily choices, and how they can guide us back into alignment.

There’s a lot of conversation around blood sugar stability in today’s dietary health circles, but not a whole lot of clarity around how to go about achieving it, particularly for long term health. When primary care doctors are prescribing one type of diet, alternative medicine doctors another, and social media influencers another, it becomes even more confusing to know what’s truly trustworthy. For a long time, the accepted protocol in the medical field for those with insulin resistance and diab...

Hormones have long been the butt of every joke for why something in us just isn’t quite right. “I’m just hormonal,” “I feel like shit, my period must be coming soon,” “she’s being so bitchy, she must be PMSing,”… I could go on. But as we are learning more and more, as alternative and natural health medicine is growing in popularity and in depth, hormones are no joke. A topic that is near and dear to my heart, as I’ve been dealing with my own hormonal imbalance the past few years, I brought my fr...

“If I’m making progress, why do I feel so off?” Often times, when we are first stepping into a new level of growth, abundance or opportunity, the transition can feel more negative than immediately positive. Why is that? And how do we proceed without sabotaging ourselves? Sharing my thoughts and experience with arriving in Bali, how changing things up is vital for self reflection, and my intention for the year. ~ These short n’ sweet episodes are meant to be enjoyed whenever you want a little boo...

“Non-toxic” has become another trendy word, right up there with “organic,” “all natural,” “plant-based” and the like. These are all vitally important terms and concepts to understand and implement, but the fact that they are trendy makes it harder for some of us to actually embrace them— and makes it easier for big companies to abuse them. Just as we can’t always trust every snack label claiming “all natural” and “organic” as healthy, it can be even trickier to discern dishonest marketing practi...

“How do I build confidence?” We all want confidence but we don’t want to be vulnerable. But we forget that true confidence requires courage— the ability to do something that frightens us. Without courage, there is no growth. Vulnerability is courage. To show up, to trust, to walk into the arena, to accept the unknown. ~ These short n’ sweet episodes are meant to be enjoyed whenever you want a little boost in your day, a little food for thought, a little shift in perspective, a little realignment...

One of the many beautiful souls that this journey into entrepreneurship and “following my path,” if you will, has connected me with is Nicole Nelson . Nicole is a fellow IIN grad and a health and business coach (but let’s be honest— what truly brings us together is our mutual love of oatmeal and chickpea cookies ). Before we dive into the interview, you’ll hear some real talk between Nicole and I as we catch up on life, my travels, and how running your business on the road isn’t all glamorous (t...

We all speak pretty confidently about ourselves when we describe what we do for our job, what role we play within our family, who we are with friends— but are all these “selves” really the same person? What about when we have an off day, and we say we “aren’t our best selves today.” Who, then, is our best self? Are they more or less authentic than our worst self? Who is our authentic self? Does such a thing even exist? In a slightly different kind of episode (which I recorded a week or so prior ...
