    When you want to lose weight––no matter the reason––you’re surrounded by information that tells you to cut off carbs, cut off fats, cut off proteins, etc… but cutting off entire food groups and restricting yourself to so little calories you can barely move is NOT the way to lose weight.

    Are you ready to transform your approach to weight loss?

  • EPISODE 186: If you’re a long-time listener of the podcast, then you probably know I’m a big proponent of consuming organ meats.

  • EPISODE 184: This week’s episode is extra special, because in it, I interview Katelyn Hansen, a past client of mine who went from bleeding five months at a time to regular cycles after going through the Hormonal Reset Program.

    Katelyn struggled for years with symptoms like prolonged bleeding, fatigue, weight gain, and mood swings––all of which doctors couldn’t explain.

    It wasn’t until she found my program that she discovered the root of her issues: hormonal imbalance.

  • EPISODE 182: Many of my listeners contact me with questions like “I have to eat out because I was traveling, will this ruin my progress?” or “ I’m pregnant and I can’t handle meat right now, how badly am I going to hurt my hormones?” and my answer is always the same: You’re not going to hurt your hormones at all.

    This is because hormonal balance (as well as hormonal imbalance) comes as the result of long-term habits. And so, eating junk food once won’t ruin your hormones. On the other hand, eating one blood sugar balanced meal once won’t help your hormones either.

    It’s all about building good habits (and getting rid of bad ones), slowly but surely.

    Not sure where to start?

    Well you’re in luck, because this is exactly what I discuss in this week’s episode of the Balancing Hormones Naturally podcast.

    Are you ready?

    Let’s dive in.

    Key Takeaways:

    Introduction (00:00)

    Why consistency matters (01:00)

    What happens when you ignore your hormones (04:53)

    Why I started paying attention to my health (10:48)

    How all things build upon each other (13:36)

  • EPISODE 177: Is your hormonal health still a mystery to you? Then you might want to give the DUTCH test a try!

    The DUTCH test (or Dried Urine Testing for Comprehensive Hormones test) is a great way to reveal hidden hormone imbalances that standard blood tests may miss, particularly in estrogen metabolism and cortisol patterns.

    The test's ability to show hormone metabolite patterns allows for more personalized and effective treatment plans, especially for people suffering from conditions like PCOS, adrenal fatigue, and menopause.

    And that’s exactly why I love the DUTCH test and use it with a lot of my clients.

    To dive deeper into this, I’ve invited an expert on the podcast, the amazing Dr. Kelly Ruef.

    Dr. Ruef is a licensed naturopathic doctor and clinical educator at Precision Analytical, the inventors of the DUTCH test.

    In this episode, she’ll be breaking down what makes the DUTCH test different from other standard blood tests, why adrenal support is essential for women, especially ones experiencing menopause, how the DUTCH test can help treat PCOS, and more.

    Are you ready?

    Let’s dive in.

    Key Takeaways:

    Introduction (00:00)

    Let’s talk about the DUTCH test (02:39)

    Who needs a DUTCH test (05:38)

    The connection between cortisol and DHEA (12:37)
