PMS: What's normal and what's not
PMS is common—but not normal. From mood swings and bloating to fatigue and anxiety, these symptoms are your body’s way of signaling hormone imbalance, not punishment for being a woman. In this post, we break down what PMS really is, what’s happening hormonally, and how to manage it naturally through stress support, nutrition, blood sugar balance, and detoxification—without jumping straight to birth control.
Why Liver Detoxification Matters for Women’s Health
Your liver does so much more than process alcohol or medications—it’s the control center for your hormones. When it’s overworked or undernourished, symptoms like PMS, acne, and fatigue can start creeping in. Learn how to support your liver’s natural detox process (no teas required) and bring your hormones back into balance—naturally
Estrogen Dominance: What you need to know
Acne, bloating, fatigue, anxiety, weight changes—many women are told these are “just part of being a woman.” But often, the real issue is estrogen dominance. This doesn’t always mean estrogen is too high—it’s about the balance between estrogen and progesterone, and how well your body can metabolize and clear hormones. In this post, I break down what estrogen dominance actually is, common symptoms, root causes, and two key approaches to restoring balance naturally: supporting progesterone production and improving estrogen metabolism.
Vitex vs. Progesterone Supplements. What You Need to Know Before You Start.
Vitex and progesterone are two of the most common recommendations for women struggling with PMS, fertility issues, or perimenopause. But here’s the catch: they’re not one-size-fits-all solutions. In fact, using them at the wrong time—or without addressing why hormones are off to begin with—can sometimes make things worse. In this post, I break down how these tools actually work, when they might help, the risks you need to know, and the foundational steps to focus on before reaching for a supplement or prescription.
GLP-1s & Hormones: What Women Should Know Before Saying Yes
GLP-1 medications like Ozempic, Wegovy, and Mounjaro are everywhere right now—and while they can help with appetite control and short-term weight loss, they also come with tradeoffs for women’s health. Because these drugs suppress appetite, it’s easy to undereat, lose muscle, and miss critical nutrients—leading to worsened PMS, fatigue, hair loss, and hormone imbalance over time. In this post, we’ll unpack how GLP-1s work, why some women see improved fertility at first, and the risks of long-term use. Plus, simple ways to support your natural GLP-1 production—without depleting your hormones.
Why Standard Hormone Testing Misses the Mark (and What to Ask For Instead)
Ever gotten labs back that say everything is “normal,” but you know you don’t feel fine? That’s because standard hormone testing usually stops at estrogen and progesterone—and misses the bigger picture. Hormones don’t work in silos. Thyroid, stress, blood sugar, vitamin D, and iron all influence how you feel, cycle, and conceive. In this post, I’ll walk you through why the basics miss the mark, what a complete panel should include, and how to actually get answers that make sense for your body.
High Quality > Low Calorie (& Why “Zero Calorie” Isn’t the Win You Think It Is)
I overheard women at the zoo raving about a “zero calorie” candy—and it reminded me how deeply diet culture has wired us to fear calories. The truth is, low-calorie foods might fill your belly for a moment, but they don’t provide the raw materials your body needs to function. Over time, under-eating backfires: slowing metabolism, disrupting hormones, and even leading to weight gain, hair loss, and anxiety. In this post, I break down why quality always beats calorie counts—and how to shift toward nourishment that actually supports your body long-term.
