26. [BLOOD SUGAR] Are you struggling with CRAVINGS?!
I can't wait for you to dive into today's episode! I've been down the cravings rollercoaster & I know you probably have too! These tips are for combatting cravings in the moment. So where do cravings COME FROM?! Because you know I'm all about that ROOT CAUSE! Comes from blood sugar disregulation & insulin resistance A main function of the endocrine system is to transport glucose to your brain, muscles & heart. If anything about the process goes wrong, you’re going to have disregulated blood sugar which doesn’t allow any of the other parts of the endocrine system to function properly. Unstable blood sugar is one of the most important underlying causes behind hormonal imbalances. When you eat refined carbs (sugar), your body breaks it down into simple sugars like glucose. Your pancreas reacts to this load of glucose by releasing the hormone insulin which is meant to go inside of our cells. Your pancreas also reacts to LOW blood sugar levels from not eating ENOUGH or waiting too long between meals When you're insulin resistant- this excess insulin doesn’t go into the cells & perform their job because the cells are RESISTANT to it. Instead, it stays floating around in the bloodstream causing weight gain, heart disease, osteoporosis, diabetes & too much testosterone which leads to facial hair, acne, hair loss TIPS to help cravings in the moment: 1. Set timer for 10 minutes before giving into the craving 2. Drink a full glass of room temp water 3. Journal/breathe think about why you’re craving what you’re craving and if it's actually hunger or if it’s emotional 4. If you're having a sweet craving, have a tea latte- hemp/oat milk with herbal tea and 1tbsp cacao powder. If you're having a salty craving, try carrots or celery & hummus/guac or cucumbers with sea salt & hummus/guac. Registration for the 12 week group course is currently closed.

25. [PCOS] INTERVIEW: How Gracy healed her hormones & PCOS NATURALLY after years of PAIN & SUFFERING.
I am so excited for you to dive into today's episode! I think it's extremely important for us to hear the stories & experiences of other women. When it comes to hormones, many of us feel alone in our struggles. This episode is meant to show you that you're not alone and that there's hope & light at the end of the tunnel. Here's what we get into with Gracy's story: Gracy had PCOS her whole life. Cystic acne, intense, painful periods starting at 9 years old, massive weight gain that lead her to 3 different medications (metformin, spironolactone & ozempic), weight loss surgery, constipation, diarrhea, nausea, inability to eat, hair falling out, fatigue & MORE. After years of multiple medications & surgery, Gracy finally had enough and decided to go the holistic route. She is now off all medications, has clear skin, is managing her weight, goes to the bathroom every day, knows how to eat, understands her PCOS, has energy & feels better than she ever has. If you can connect with Gracy please reach out to her on IG! Registration for the 12 week group course is currently closed.

24. Health is NOT just about DIET & EXERCISE!
I cannot wait to hear your feedback on today’s episode because I think you’re really going to vibe with it! Part of the reason this podcast is called “MIND your hormones” is because our MENTAL & EMOTIONAL health is JUST AS IMPORTANT as our PHYSICAL health & that’s what we’re getting into today! We're HOLISTIC beings and in order to see TRUE TRANSFORMATION we need to heal & nurture ourselves in a HOLISTIC way. The idea for today’s episode started with having a full on MELTDOWN the other day about being over the whole Covid situation. ⁣ In March I was ok with it bc it was an OPPORTUNITY to stop & realize what’s important.⁣ ⁣ It allowed me to GROW my then SIDE HUSTLE into my now full-time career: teaching how to use NUTRITION & LIFESTYLE to IMPROVE the QUALITY of your life by NATURALLY balancing HORMONES.⁣ ⁣ I’m SO grateful for that, despite the horrible circumstances.⁣ ⁣ I fully acknowledge the pain SO MANY faced & still are & my heart goes out to them.⁣ ⁣ Most recently, the severity is increasing as it was in March & it feels like a post traumatic stress response.⁣ ⁣ I’m OVER feeling NERVOUS to be around high risk fam members. ⁣ I hate that the holidays will be different & I can’t hug my gpa who’s going through chemo in fear I’ll expose him & make it worse.⁣ ⁣ It’s an IMPOSSIBLE situation we’re ALL learning to navigate in REAL TIME.⁣ ⁣ This MENTAL & EMOTIONAL stress 100% affects our hormones & overall health.⁣ Which is why if you’re only focused on diet & exercise you won’t see true transformation. ⁣ We’re NOT just a PHYSICAL body. We have a MENTAL & EMOTIONAL body that are just as IMPORTANT.⁣ ⁣ I’m SO blessed to be in a MUCH better situation than many & FULLY recognize that.⁣ ⁣ But that doesn’t mean it’s NOT affecting me.⁣ ⁣ We need to honor that this pandemic is IMPACTING our HORMONE HEALTH.⁣ ⁣ When our stress hormone CORTISOL increases it causes PROGESTERONE(a hormone necessary for pregnancy, metabolism, thyroid, skin, hair, bones, moods etc)to decrease. ⁣ Just like we brush our teeth daily, we NEED to practice MENTAL hygiene DAILY.⁣ ⁣ We need to implement things like JOURNALING, MEDITATION, MOVEMENT, DAILY to PROCESS the EMOTIONS we face & TRANSFORM the stress so they don’t BUILD UP & cause OVERWHELM.⁣ ⁣ WAYS WE CAN CONNECT!

23. [PERIOD HEALTH] Is it NORMAL to have PERIOD PAIN?
I’m SO happy you’re here for today’s conversation because it is EXTREMELY important to know what’s normal & what isn’t. Our culture has made CRAMPS & period PAIN something that women should just “DEAL WITH” & “TOUGHEN UP” about because “that’s just what happens when you get your period.” ⁣ This is SO MESSED UP on SO MANY levels.⁣ ⁣ Not only does it MINIMIZE the STRUGGLE & PAIN that some women go through on a MONTHLY basis, but it NORMALIZES something that ISN’T NORMAL.⁣ ⁣ This makes women IGNORE an underlying problem that could be serious (such as ENDOMETRIOSIS).⁣ ⁣ Mild/moderate cramping can be “normal.” If they are MINOR cramps you can tolerate & don’t need to take any medication/pain relief for.⁣ ⁣ BUT if you’re having INTENSE CRAMPS where you’re reaching for Midol or even more intense medications, you can’t get out of bed, or you’re getting nauseous from the pain, that is NOT NORMAL. ⁣ Pain like that could be a SYMPTOM of ENDOMETRIOSIS which is an INFLAMMATORY disease that shouldn’t be taken lightly.⁣ ⁣ THANKFULLY there are NATURAL ways to heal your Endometriosis & get rid of the pain.🙏🏼⁣ ⁣ One of my clients with endometriosis went from a 10 (on a scale of 1-10 of pain)to a 2! WITHOUT MEDICATION ⁣ This shift happened from implementing an ANTI INFLAMMATORY diet & a supplement protocol for her specific needs.⁣ ⁣ ⁣ So THERE IS HOPE & there are NATURAL ways to accomplish this.⁣ ENDOMETRIOSIS is an INFLAMMATORY disease so healing it needs to be done by REDUCING INFLAMMATION. 3 things to AVOID to reduce INFLAMMATION: Alcohol: alcohol increases estrogen levels & disrupts blood sugar (check out this episode for more info on alcohol & hormones!) Dairy: dairy inflames our gut which prohibits our gut from being able to eliminate our excess hormones. There are also hormones in dairy that latch onto our hormone receptors leaving our own production of hormones floating around in the body Gluten is also super inflammatory to the gut (check out this episode on more information about how the gut connects to hormones) Gluten alternatives: quinoa, oats, brown rice, millet, amaranth. Dairy free cheese brands: Kite hill, miyokos, good planet. WAYS WE CAN CONNECT!

22. [PERIOD HEALTH] What the COLOR of your PERIOD is TELLING YOU!
I’m so excited for you to get into this episode because I think it’s SO COOL to be able to truly read our periods & understand the MESSAGES it’s sending us. Our period is our MONTHLY REPORT CARD. Let’s use this information to our advantage! PERIOD COLORS BROWN: this signifies LOW PROGESTERONE. A Brownish color on DAY 1 or on the LAST FEW DAYS of your period show you may have LOW PROGESTERONE DEEP PURPLE/BLUE with CLOTS & CLUMPS: ESTROGEN levels are too HIGH in relation to progesterone PINK: Pale pink on the FIRST & LAST few days of your period is a sign of LOW ESTROGEN. This can also look like SHORTER PERIODS. RED: Cranberry or cherry red & CLOT FREE is a sign of hormonal balance. What the IDEAL period looks like: 28-32 day cycle (a 21-35 day is considered “regular” but 28-32 is IDEAL). STRONG flow WITHOUT any clots DEEP RED or CRANBERRY JUICE from start to finish Lasting 4-7 days No pain that would make you reach for pain killers Check out In the FLO by Alisa Vitti for more information on all of this!

21. [CASE STUDY] How Lisa NATURALLY healed anxiety, IRREGULAR periods, hair falling out, PCOS, mood swings & PMS.
In today’s episode I thought it would be cool for you to see the different symptoms one of my clients (we’ll call her Lisa) was experiencing and how those symptoms were able to be managed & reversed with nutrition, lifestyle & supplementation; NOT medication. I had a client that came to me with extreme anxiety, bouts of depression, PCOS, her hair was falling out, she had interrupted sleep, her period was irregular, she had intense mood swings and some cramping before her periods. As someone who used to have a ton of (what I thought) were random symptoms, I understand the thought process that they’re all coming from a different place & it’s never going to get better unless I take a pill etc. I GET IT. But I’m here to tell you that’s NOT the case! What we did with her, which is what I do with every client, is we focussed on healing her gut, balancing blood sugar, improving liver detoxification, nourishing her nervous system & supporting her mitochondria (energy centers of the cell) with targeted supplementation. One way we healed her gut was by increasing the amount of anti-inflammatory foods she ate such as fiber (which is ONLY found in plant foods) & ditching dairy. (For more info on GUT HEALTH check out EPISODE 10). One step in balancing her blood sugar was completely removing sugar & having a high-protein breakfast. We also nourished her nervous system by focussing on quality sleep & incorporating stress management techniques that best suited her and what was going to make the biggest difference for her. We started with super short meditations of 5 mins every morning & eventually increased to 10 mins. We improved her liver detoxification by switching over her products from conventional ones to non-toxic ones. Conventional products are loaded with chemicals that your liver needs to process & metabolize. Your liver also needs to metabolize & process your EXCESS HORMONES BUT it will first process whatever is most LIFE THREATENING. Since the chemicals in products are more life threatening than excess hormones, it focusses on that first & never gets to the excess hormones which then creates imbalances. By removing those toxins by using non-toxic beauty & household cleaning products, the liver has more space to process excess hormones. We supported her mitochondria with nutrients she specifically needed- for example a probiotic & a prenatal since she’s looking to conceive soon. WAYS WE CAN CONNECT!

20. Are you BEATING YOURSELF UP for not being PERFECT?!
I can’t wait for you to dive into today’s episode where we chat about how we can better serve ourselves by changing how we talk to ourselves and how we can’t expect to always be “perfect”! I’m a (recovering) perfectionist so this topic is super close to home & something I’m constantly working on. Here’s what you can expect! What I’ve been working on: Aiming to eat before 7pm because that's when I notice my PCOS symptoms are most at bay. Over the weekend I got so upset & frustrated because it was after 7 when I ate & I turned into a monster over it! Perfect doesn’t exist. PROGRESS ALWAYS WINS. STRIVE FOR BETTER NOT PERFECT. Maybe you had a few extra drinks over thanksgiving or ate some stuff you’ve been avoiding. Maybe you skipped a workout. Whatever it is for YOU, we ALL go through it. The feeling of DAMN, I “SHOULD’VE” done this or I “SHOULDN'T” have done that!⁣ Maybe it’s TRUE you made CHOICES that weren’t EXACTLY in line with your health & hormone goals.⁣ BUT that doesn’t mean YOU SUCK & need to feel GUILTY about it! It means you have an OPPORTUNITY to GROW & get BETTER!⁣ If you hold yourself to an EXPECTATION that’s UNATTAINABLE, you’ll NEVER be PROUD of yourself for the SMALL GAINS that turn into BIG GAINS that you’re doing OVERALL.⁣ We need to look at everything as, am I BETTER than who I was yesterday? Am I taking steps in the RIGHT DIRECTION?⁣ When you’re changing your lifestyle it can be OVERWHELMING & if you don’t look at it as being BETTER than BEFORE, rather than being PERFECT, you’re missing out on an OPPORTUNITY to feel PROUD of yourself & give yourself the MOMENTUM to KEEP GOING!⁣ When we CELEBRATE 3 days of lemon water instead of feeling DEFEATED from the 4 days without it, it make us want to keep going!⁣ Be PROUD of YOURSELF for the changes you ARE MAKING!⁣ Acknowledge them & it’ll help you CONTINUE making progress. PROGRESS over PERFECTION. ALWAYS! I’m not saying to not hold yourself to a high standard and take care of yourself. BUT beating yourself up over it ISN;T DOING ANYTHING. Would you say the things you say to yourself to your friend, sister, daughter? Probably not! We need to treat ourselves & talk to ourselves internally like we would to the little girl inside of us You’re not a piece of shit because you didnt 100% stick to something. You made a choice. That doesn’t make you a failure. Do we always want to be getting better & making the best choices we can? Of course. But not at the cost of our mental well being. WAYS WE CAN CONNECT!

19. [INTERVIEW] Using MINDFULNESS, MEDITATION & MINDSET to navigate this season with JEN EMSWILER
I’m so excited for you to listen in on my conversation with Jen Emswiler! We hit on so many amazing topics that I think you’re really going to vibe with. First things first, Jen Emswiler is an entrepreneur, podcast host, writer, yoga and meditation teacher, life coach and mindfulness expert dedicated to helping individuals navigate change and live life mindfully. She is the Founder and CEO of Thought Leader, which aims to bring mindfulness to teams through short, simple and powerful techniques. Jen offers 1:1 mindful coaching sessions and consultations through her website. You can connect with Jen on social @fromjentozen or by tuning into her podcast From Jen To Zen! Jen talks to us about how she was in a severe car accident, on birth control & got Lyme's disease which left her in chronic pain- mindfulness & meditation helped guide her through that. TOPICS WE CHAT ABOUT: Meditation is a vehicle to mindfulness. Mindfulness is awareness of the present moment. The here and now. Everything is temporary Mindfulness- research has shown- the fight or flight part of your brain shrinks & - the part responsible for making decision, concentration & focus thickens- when we practice mindfulness we are decreasing our stress response but increasing our ability to handle more stressful situations more skillfully & take more time to respond rather than react. Mindfulness/meditation allows our brain to change. Not a one size fits all- find what works for you. Walking meditation, morning, night, after a workout John Kabat—Zinn Mindfulness based stress reduction clinic in Massachusetts Study: Basketball athletes were split into 2 groups. One athlete was shooting free throws for several weeks. The other athlete didn’t practice. He sat and visualized him successfully doing it. At the end of the study, when the athlete who visualized the free throws actually played he was more successful and had a different perspective (even when he missed) than the player that was physically practicing for weeks. Mindfulness calms your nervous system, lowering cortisol levels which is so important for hormone balance. Your mind, body & hormones are all connected- you will not be able to fully heal if you are only focussed on food and exercise. WAYS WE CAN CONNECT!

18. Are you STRESSING about STAYING ON TRACK over the HOLIDAYS?
I’m so excited for you to dive into this episode because this topic is SUPER important. Many of my clients have been telling me they’re nervous about heading into the holiday season and worried they won’t be able to stay on track. SO I've decided to bring some of my tips to you! First things first: throw away ANY expectations whether “good or bad” because this holiday season is going to look different than any other year. We get to choose how every situation feels and what we make of it. Be GRACEFUL with yourself during this season and know that you’re NOT ALONE. But ALSO let’s do our best to make the BEST of it. 5 steps to stay on track hormonally over the holidays: Stick to your MORNING ROUTINE glass of water warm lemon water HIGH PROTEIN BREAKFAST: aim for a smoothie so you can get a ton of greens & nutrients since you probably won’t later in the day. How you start your day sets the tone for the rest of the day. MOVE YOUR BODY: Do some kind of movement for 30 minutes before starting your festivities. Movement increases the diversity of gut bacteria It also boosts our mood which is so helpful for this time of year If you can- take a 10 minute walk after dinner to aid digestion & help blood sugar balance MAKE MINDFUL CHOICES CHOOSE 1 DESSERT AND ENJOY IT rather than taking a bite of every single thing. EAT YOUR VEGGIES FIRST. This aids digestion because it’s loaded with fiber. Meat doesn’t have fiber so pairing it with veggies will help you digest & it will help you feel more full. HYDRATE drink 1/2 your body weight in ounces of filtered water a day if you’re having some alcohol, increase that amount of water & have water in between each drink room temp water, not cold! Cold water constricts digestion. BE PREPARED FOR THE NEXT DAY Make sure you have a nutrient dense, fiber rich, high protein breakfast set for the next day get right back into your morning routine Don’t let 1 day of indulging turn into 2 months of indulging. MOST IMPORTANTLY: DON’T FEEL GUILTY. Enjoy the holiday and know that it’s not about being perfect! It’s 80/20. One salad isn’t going to cure all your problems just like one indulgence isn’t going to sabotage all the progress you’ve made. It becomes a problem when 1 day of indulgences turns into 1 season. Being stressed & guilty about it causes MORE IMBALANCES than eating it and enjoying it. WAYS WE CAN CONNECT!

17. [PERIOD HEALTH] Tracking OVULATION & why you NEED TO, EVEN IF you DON'T WANT TO GET PREGNANT!
Today we’re chatting all about progesterone & ovulation because it’s VITAL for our hormones & overall health. Ovulation is the ONLY way you make PROGESTERONE which is a hormone that is beneficial for mood, energy, libido, insulin response, thyroid, skin, hair, metabolism more. Progesterone is essential for healthy reproduction & periods but it also supports your brain, immune system, and detoxification enzymes! Here are 7 ways Progesterone supports you! (Adapted by Lara Briden- sources linked below!) Boosts energy by stimulating the thyroid and amping up your metabolism. That’s why your body temperature goes up half a degree when you make progesterone after ovulation. It also relieves adrenal fatigue which is really HPA dysregulation because it stabilizes the communication between the hypothalamus (modulates the endocrine system through its connections with the pituitary gland) & adrenal glands. Soothes mood and rescues sleep because stimulates sleep centers in the brain and is essential for combatting PMS insomnia Nourishes hair and clears skin because it reduces male hormones (androgens) by inhibiting the enzyme 5-alpha reductase. The result is faster-growing hair, less skin oil (sebum), and fewer skin break-outs. Lightens periods (heavy periods come from excess estrogen) by counteracting estrogen’s stimulating effect on the uterine lining. Prevents autoimmune disease because it modulates immune function reduces inflammation, and up-regulates detoxification enzymes. Builds bones and muscle by stimulating bone-building cells which are called osteoblasts & the growth of new muscle. Protects against cancer by counteracting estrogen’s stimulating effect on breast and uterine tissue. HOW TO TRACK OVULATION: Cervical fluid- egg white consistency & stretchy leading up to ovulation Before ovulation it’s between 97 and 97.7 After ovulation it increases about .5 and maintains that higher level until your period Take your temperature before getting out of bed, at the same time every morning.

15. [Q&A] IUD, HEAVY PERIODS, EXTERNAL TOXINS & POST WORKOUT!
I'm so excited for you to tune into another Q&A episode! Here are the 4 JUICY questions I answer: 1. What can I do to lessen/prevent heavy periods & clotting? 2. How much impact do exterior toxins have on your body/health? 3. How does long term use of an IUD affect your hormones? And 4. Is a post workout drink harmful to my hormones like a preworkout drink is? SUCH awesome questions!! I can’t wait to hear what you think! What can I do to lessen/prevent heavy periods, clots,? Heavy periods are mostly from EXCESS ESTROGEN-body isn’t detoxifying your estrogen it properly (in your liver &/or gut) Your LIVER processes and metabolizes hormones and then moves it onto the gut where they’re eliminated through poop.

SARAH: How much impact do exterior toxins have on your body/health Skin is your largest organ- it absorbs 80% of what you put on it. Most of the chemicals in conventional products are BANNED in Europe but allowed in the United States Whatever we put on our skin goes right into the bloodstream There are more than 80,000 chemicals on the market & many don't have any safety data. Especially those used in the skin care and beauty industry. The Food and Drug Administration (the agency that regulates cosmetics in the United States) does not have the authority to remove harmful ingredients from the products we put on our bodies every single day. Decades of studies show that health issues such as asthma, cancer, and infertility are on the rise and are due in some part to our ongoing exposure to toxic chemicals—whether it's from the products we use in the shower, when we get ready, on our commute, while we eat lunch or when we clean our homes. Toxic chemicals can alter important biological systems (like the endocrine system, which regulates our hormones). Candles, household cleaning products & environmental toxins put a burden on our liver which slows down our ability to metabolize excess hormones.

14. [BONUS] SIGNS & SYMPTOMS of a HORMONAL IMBALANCE!
Today we're chatting all about "random" symptoms that could be signs of a HORMONAL IMBALANCE! Maybe you're not sure WHY you’re getting all these “RANDOM” symptoms? I used to feel the SAME WAY!⁣ I struggled with DIGESTIVE issues for YEARS! ⁣ I would be so BLOATED after EVERY SINGLE thing I ate it would feel like I was 3️ months pregnant.⁣ I would go back and forth with CONSTIPATION and go DAYS without going to the bathroom!⁣ ⁣ I also used to get severe MIGRAINES at least once a month.⁣ On top of that, I had more obvious hormonal imbalance symptoms such as an IRREGULAR period that turned into a NONEXISTENT period.⁣ ⁣ But I had absolutely NO IDEA that my BLOATING, CONSTIPATION & MIGRAINES were coming from the SAME ROOT CAUSE that my IRREGULAR periods were coming from: A HORMONAL IMBALANCE.⁣ ⁣ For me it was PCOS. For others it isn’t necessarily a syndrome like that, but rather an imbalance of specific hormones in the body.⁣ ⁣ I talk to so many women who say to me, “I’m not sure if I’d be a good fit to work with you because I don’t know that I have hormonal imbalance. But I do have ACNE, I’m extremely FATIGUED, I have a lot of CRAVINGS, and I really CAN’T LOSE WEIGHT.”⁣ ⁣ Those are CLASSIC hormone IMBALANCE SYMPTOMS.⁣ ⁣ But when we go to our doctors with these issues, instead of identifying the CAUSE of these symptoms & recognizing they are ALL CONNECTED, they treat the SYMPTOM with MEDICATION.⁣ ⁣ If you have ANY of the below symptoms, you need to consider the fact that it can be caused from a hormonal imbalance.⁣ ⁣ Start looking at your body as a WHOLE instead of separated parts.⁣ EVERY single SYMPTOM you are experiencing is coming from a DEEPER problem.⁣ Your body will continue giving you symptoms until it’s SO LOUD that you CAN’T IGNORE it.⁣ ⁣ Your body is DESIGNED and WANTS to HEAL.⁣ But the ONLY way to do that is to recognize that your SYMPTOMS ARE COMING FROM A ROOT CAUSE that NEEDS your ATTENTION.⁣ ⁣ Here are the symptoms & signs of HORMONAL IMBALANCES: DIGESTIVE PROBLEMS (Bloating, constipation, diarrhea, IBS) FATIGUE CRAVINGS ANXIETY MIGRAINES ACNE HAIR LOSS STUBBORN WEIGHT LOSS IRREGULAR/MIA PERIODS HEAVY PERIODS CRAMPS EXCESS FACIAL HAIR This is the GUT EPISODE I referred to in today's episode!

11. Is PRE WORKOUT (CAFFEINE) jacking up your HORMONES?!
I can’t wait for you to dive into this episode with me because I think it’s SUCH an important topic & REFRAME! Chugging coffee and/or pre workout FIRST THING in the morning is the NORM for so many people. BUT we do it without knowing WHAT it’s actually doing in your body and HOW it’s affecting your hormones. Here’s some of the juicy details: How having PRE WORKOUT/COFFEE/CAFFEINE first thing in the morning affects your body: It dehydrates you which SLOWS DOWN DIGESTION & INCREASES FATIGUE.⁣ CAFFEINE is very STIMULATING to our nervous system & increases cortisol (stress hormone) that when functioning properly is already high in the morning (because it’s the hormone that wakes us up) & is going to increase more when you workout. This continuous increase in cortisol leads to BLOOD SUGAR IMBALANCES & DECREASES PROGESTERONE.⁣ [PROGESTERONE supports our metabolism, skin, hair, thyroid, ability to hold onto a pregnancy, regular periods & moods.⁣ Progesterone is easily DECREASES with POOR SLEEP & STRESS.] SUGAR, ARTIFICIAL SWEETENERS & DAIRY (in pre workout or coffee) are all INFLAMMATORY & start your day with a BLOOD SUGAR SPIKE. What goes up must come down. This BLOOD SUGAR ROLLER COASTER creates a cascade of problems that can lead to WEIGHT GAIN, CRAVINGS, FATIGUE, IRREGULAR PERIODS, ACNE, FACIAL HAIR GROWTH, SLEEP DISTURBANCES, PMS.⁣ REASONS to AVOID/REDUCE caffeine ESPECIALLY if you have PMS, are trying to conceive or have menstrual issues: Caffeine DECREASES FERTILITY rates because it: - Increases cortisol levels & stresses the adrenals which INTERFERES with OVULATION -DEPLETES vital vitamins & minerals including B VITAMINS & FOLATE needed for OVULATION & healthy FERTILITY. - In the 2016 research in fertility & sterility they found that “3 or more caffeinated beverages a day prior to conception increases the risk of miscarriage by 74%.” In the FLO by Alisa Vitti pg. 114 Caffeine DEPLETES MICRONUTRIENTS essential for hormone balance, REDUCES the ABSORPTION of key nutrients & minerals such as MAGNESIUM & B VITAMINS. The acidity in coffee can alter the microbiome which: - Imbalanced gut flora reduces the ability to absorb nutrients - Without adequate nutrients it's harder for your endocrine system to balance your hormones.

10. [GUT HEALTH] Is your GUT the problem?!
I’m SO excited for you to hear this week's episode because your gut is one of the MOST IMPORTANT aspects when it comes to your health (if not THE most important)! Your gut is responsible for absorbing nutrients which helps you make the hormones you need AND break down and eliminate the ones you don’t. It has its organisms/bacteria that add up to MORE than the amount of cells in our body!! Those organisms influence our mood, weight, inflammation & overall hormonal health. Your gut is responsible for moving hormones out of the body and helping you detoxify. When your gut isn’t functioning properly, you can experience anxiety, depression, headaches, joint pain, fatigue, difficulty gaining or losing weight and hormone imbalances. You need a healthy gut to remove excess estrogen and other waste from the body. Estrogen is moved out of the body through the bowels so when your gut function is compromised estrogen goes back into circulation in your body which leads to those excess estrogen symptoms of bloating, cramping, heavy periods, irritability a.k.a. PMS. You need to poop at least once a day to remove the excess estrogen your body no longer needs so if you’re constipated, you’re most likely suffering from estrogen excess. Leaky gut leads to widespread inflammation and hormone disruption throughout the body. We could get a leaky gut when the cells of our intestinal lining are compromised a.k.a. little holes that are food particles go through and into the bloodstream. This is caused by stress, medications, eating foods you’re sensitive to, birth control, gluten, low fiber diet, pesticides, high sugar diet & more. When you have leaky gut, toxins, microbes, and undigested food particles make their way through your intestinal lining & it sets off your immune system because your immune system doesn’t recognize them so it starts defending them. This results in an inflammatory attack by your immune system. Leaky gut leads to food sensitivities and immune disorders like autoimmune disease. TANGIBLE TIPS: Add in FIBER to every meal. Fiber is ONLY IN PLANT FOODS. (start with a salad- make veggies the largest thing on each plate). Fiber grabs onto excess hormones, toxins & cholesterol & helps eliminate it out of the body. Add in Omega3 FATS daily- if not in every meal. Omega 3s= avocado, nuts, seeds, olive oil. Omega 3s are ANTI INFLAMMATORY & NOURISH the gut. MOVEMENT. Movement INCREASES the DIVERSITY in our gut! Take the stairs, get up at least once an hour, park in the furthest parking spot, dance around, pick a movement you love. WAYS WE CAN CONNECT!

9. [BIRTH CONTROL] Is the BIRTH CONTROL pill IMPACTING you MORE THAN YOU KNOW?!
I am FIRED UP for today's episode about what hormonal birth control ACTUALLY DOES to your body! First off, I want to preface by saying I of course believe there is a time and place for hormonal birth control & that we need access to it! But I ALSO believe we need INFORMED CONSENT about what the pill is ACTUALLY doing to our bodies. I believe doctors need to recommend NATURAL treatments (that actually HEAL the problem) BEFORE turning towards birth control as a “fix all” approach. Birth control DOES NOT HEAL acne, PCOS or IRREGULAR periods. It puts a BANDAID on it! I also am NOT SAYING to just stop your birth control pill. I DO NOT RECOMMEND THAT. If you are interested in transitioning off I recommend talking to your doctor or working with someone to help you transition off so you have less negative side effects. (For more info on how to connect with me see below!). Here’s what we dive into today: You’re not getting a real period How it affects your mood/anxiety & depression How it alters your gut microbiome & depletes you of nutrients How it lowers your sex drive A problem with the pill is that you aren’t getting a crucial piece of information about your overall health. Your period is not just your period. It’s a vital sign of your underlying health. It’s like a monthly report card that you’re missing out on when you’re on the pill because you don’t get an actual period when you’re on the pill! It’s SUPPRESSES OVULATION. It completely turns it off! The communication from your brain to your ovaries so you’re not getting an actual period. It’s not a bleed that comes after ovulation like it would if you weren’t on the pill and you were getting an actual period. It’s a withdrawal bleed from the drugs that stimulate your uterine lining to shed but shut down your ovaries. A pill bleed is about the dosing of a drug not about the health of your period or your overall health. When you’re on the pill you have no sex hormones of your own. You have steroid drugs given to you as a kind of hormone replacement. They are not the same as your own estrogen and progesterone. You’re not making progesterone on the pill because you’re not ovulating. You have a synthetic form of progesterone called progestin in birth control but is does not give you the benefits that our own progesterone gives, such as: improving brain health and cognition, supporting your mood, bones, thyroid, muscles and metabolism. Birth Control is proven to increase anxiety and depression! How it affects your mood is it makes your nervous system more sensitive to stress and also changes the structure of your brain.

8. [INTERVIEW] DAVID BROOKE: Why PLANT oils HEAL your skin, beauty routines for ANTI-AGING & ACNE PRONE skin & the IMPORTANCE of ORGANIC Skin Care for your hormones & overall health.
I’m SO excited for you to hear this episode! Today, David & I chat about the difference between organic & conventional products, what ingredients to look out for, how conventional products negatively affect our hormones, fertility, reproduction & overall health, how healthy skin starts with what you’re eating, pregnancy safe, acne specific & anti aging products, how Skin Essence is an eco friendly company & MORE! I have tried DOZENS of organic skin care products and most of them were OVERPRICED & INEFFECTIVE. I found Skin Essence on a podcast last year and have never looked back! If you’re someone who struggles with acne, hormonal imbalances, low fertility and/or someone who wants to be more conscious of what you put on your body, you’re not going to want to miss this episode! Here is an overview of David Brooke: -David Brooke is an international model who has worked for many high profile designers such as; Giorgio Armani, Guess by Marciano, Calvin Klein, and Hugo Boss. Due to the various climate changes and endless amounts of products applied to his skin on any given day, David struggled for many years to find the best product line that could help him maintain the healthy, even skin complexion demanded by the fast paced fashion industry. After unsuccessfully trying numerous skin care products, David was referred to Skin Essence Organics, by a well-respected industry professional, and instantly noticed amazing improvements in his skin's texture and overall appearance. After successfully using Skin Essence for nearly nine years, David obtained a degree in business and has become a partner in the company. His passion for organics, dedication to chemical free living, and valuable industry insight has been a driving force, propelling Skin Essence Organics to become an industry leader of superior organic products.- I am SUPER picky about any products that go in my body or on my body. I ONLY recommend products I personally use & recommend to all my family, friends & clients. After seeing the huge difference in my skin I knew I had to be involved in this company and help spread awareness so more people have access to them.

7. [PERIOD HEALTH] WHY my PERIOD SKIPPED a month & HOW I’m getting it back on track.
If you've been with me for a while, you already know I have PCOS and ALWAYS had an irregular period that once turned into NO period for a full two YEARS. (Check out EPISODE 1 for my full hormonal journey) Thankfully, I changed my nutrition & lifestyle so I have been getting it regularly for the last 2.5 years! HOWEVER, my cycle is VERY SENSITIVE to intense stress & transitions which is why my period was 10 days late, causing me to not get a period in August. (10 days late might not seem like a huge deal to you if your period is all over the map like mine used to be. I GET IT! BUT, this is a sign from my body that things are starting to get out of balance. Taking action NOW will prevent the irregularities to continue.) Let's get on the same page: On August 3rd I formally resigned from my 9 year teaching career to work full time in my Nutrition Business. While it was the easiest decision in the sense that I 10000% knew this is what I wanted to do, it was EXTREMELY challenging to wrap my head around it and overcome the fear. For the months leading up to it, my mind was CONSTANTLY running about how scared & overwhelmed I was. This then affected my cortisol levels, routines & sleep patterns which caused my hormones to get jacked up. Here are the 3 steps I’m taking to get back on track Eating dinner earlier Prioritizing sleep Scheduling in down time in nature It’s not about being PERFECT, it’s about knowing WHAT caused it & exactly HOW to rebalance your system.
