Hey friend,
Today, I’m continuing my 6-week series about how to enjoy the holidays…without sabotaging your hormones or gaining weight.
Do the holidays feel like a constant negotiation between enjoying the food you love while trying not to sabotage your hormones?
One minute you’re stressing out over every bite. The next, you’re diving head-first into the stuffing…and waking up wishing you could un-eat all the things.
The holidays don’t have to be some kind of hormonal Hunger Games. You can eat, have a drink…or two, and still feel like a rockstar the next day. You just need a game plan.
Join me for this episode as I share how to tweak some of your favorite holiday recipes so they work with your hormones instead of working against them.
From arrowroot powder to almond flour, cassava to cauliflower, I’ll share ten hormone-friendly ingredient swaps to help you navigate the holidays without sacrificing your health…or sanity. If you’re tired of feeling deprived and defeated and want to learn how to make smart choices that support your body (and hormones) so you can be fully present in the season, this episode is for you!

Hey friend,
Today, I’m continuing my 6-week series about how to enjoy the holidays…without sabotaging your hormones or gaining weight.
Did you know the average person consumes a whopping 4,500 calories on Thanksgiving?
That's the equivalent of 16 slices of pizza, 61 chicken wings, or 28 glazed donuts!!!
And all those extra calories aren’t even the worst of it! Because what we eat can have an even bigger impact on our hormones--and hormonal symptoms--than how much we eat.
In today’s quick-tip episode, I’m sharing “5 Nutrition Hacks To Prevent Holiday Overeating & Control Cravings.”
Join me as I unpack:
The four holiday ingredients that can negatively affect your hormones
The best Thanksgiving dishes to curb cravings and suppress hunger
Why skipping breakfast to save calories can backfire (and what to do instead)
The one carb you want to make sure to include plenty of on your holiday plate
Plus, I’ll share my #1 secret for hacking your bio-chemistry when your body wants sugar
If your plan for eating healthy holiday eating is “willpower” (Spoiler alert: Willpower is not a plan!), this episode is for you.

Hey friend,
Today, I’m talking about FOMO, or more specifically food FOMO.
Because the holiday season is here and that means a lot of food temptations.
If you’re starting to spiral at the thought of holiday cookies and cakes and candy everywhere—at the office, at your hair salon, and even at your gym (the horror!)--and are contemplating either staying at home and boycotting the holidays, or risk blowing all the progress you’ve made this year, there is a third option.
And it begins with shifting your mindset.
This week’s podcast kicks off a 6-week series all about how to enjoy the holidays…without throwing your hormones into overdrive.
Join me as we unpack:

How food FOMO can lead to anxiety around food and food-centered gatherings
Why food FOMO and blood sugar imbalance go hand-in-hand during the holidays
Plus, I’ll share 3 mindset shifts to transform your mind-body connection and say goodbye to holiday food FOMO for good!

Hey friend,
Today, I’m talking about the #1-holiday gut issue affecting women in perimenopause and menopause and how to curb or prevent a flare-up.
Yep, I’m talking about candida.
I can’t tell you how many women reach out to me every January regarding another yeast infection they’ve tried everything to get rid of…but, like an unwanted family member at Thanksgiving…just keeps coming back!
(🙋🏼♀️Been there; got the t-shirt!)
That’s because the holidays are one of the most sugar- and stress-filled times of the year–and a veritable breeding ground for yeast.
And although candida shows up most commonly in the form of a vaginal yeast infection, its “silent” symptoms can show up in our bodies in a lot of other ways including acid reflux, IBS, arthritis pain, sinus infections and allergies, anxiety, depression, uncontrollable cravings for sugar and refined carbohydrates–and, yes, even fatigue or rapid weight gain.
Join me in Part 2 of my discussion on candida where I’ll unpack:
3 reasons why the holidays can lead to a candida outbreak
The difference between regular sugar cravings and candida-induced sugar cravings
Why candida could be the hidden cause of your fatigue or sudden weight gain
Plus, I’ll share five candida diet tips for keeping yeast at bay this holiday season (including the biggest candida culprits in your kitchen!)
If you want to know which cocktails are safe to ring in the New Year or the two sweeteners that won’t feed your candida when you’re craving sugar, this episode is for you!

Hey friend,
Are you dealing with sudden, out-of-control cravings for sugary, starchy, or carby foods? (like, more than normal?)
…What about bloating, a skin rash, or even sinus issues that won’t go away (even though you’re doing everything to eat right and live a healthy lifestyle?)
…Or maybe you’ve found yourself visiting the Monistat aisle at your favorite drugstore a bit more frequently lately, because, umm, something’s going on “down there” again?
If you’ve been experiencing any or all of these symptoms, something called “candida overgrowth” could be to blame. And while there’s nothing quite like ANOTHER yeast infection to rain on your holiday parade, candida can also be a sign of an underlying hormonal imbalance.
In this week’s episode, I’m going to share with you everything you wanted to know about candida (but maybe were afraid to ask), including why so many women experience candida more often in perimenopause and menopause.
Join me in this episode where I’ll unpack:
5 different ways candida shows up in our bodies
The “silent” symptoms of candida overgrowth to watch out for
6 causes of candida infection, including the relationship between candida and diet
The connection between estrogen and candida
Plus, I’ll share the problem with conventional candida treatment and the first thing you need to do to stop a recurring yeast infection.
If you’re too embarrassed to go to your doctor (or worried he’ll just brush off your questions with another prescription), this episode is for you!

Hey friend,
It’s National Breast Cancer Month and in today’s episode, we’re talking about breast cancer prevention.
When it comes to breast cancer occurrence, here’s what we know:
ONE in EIGHT women will be diagnosed with breast cancer in her LIFETIME.
In North America, a woman dies of breast cancer every 12 minutes.
It’s shocking.
For all of the research and walks and advances in pharmaceuticals, we still don’t have a cure for breast cancer. (Yet.) 🙏
But here’s the good news: We can reduce our personal lifetime risk of breast cancer through changes to our diet and lifestyle by AS MUCH AS 70%!
Join me for today’s episode as we unpack:
How hormones and breast cancer are unequivocally linked
What type of breast cancer is on the rise in women under 49
The connection between alcohol, estrogen, and breast cancer
The best type of exercise for breast cancer prevention
Which is a greater risk: excess weight or excess body fat?
The best vegetables for preventing estrogen receptor-negative breast cancer
Plus, I’ll share how managing hormonal imbalances like estrogen dominance and elevated cortisol can reduce your breast cancer risk as well as two free resources to help balance your hormones naturally.
Whether you have a family history of breast cancer, are a breast cancer survivor in remission, or just want to know how you can be proactive to prevent breast cancer, this episode is for you!

Hey friend,
…Ever feel like you just stuck your finger in a light socket… even though you’ve been nowhere near an electrical outlet? 👀
…Or gotten a “whiff” of something funky and wondered, “What is that smell?”... only to realize it’s YOU?!
…Or have you ever gone to scratch or brush away a creepy, crawly bug making its way down your leg…only to realize there's nothing there?
If you’re sitting there nodding, then you may be a card-carrying member of the Crazy Hormones Club. 🤪
In Part 2 of our episode on weird and wacky menopause symptoms, we’re diving into 3 more symptoms no one (except me) is talking about–brain zaps, body odor, and itchy, crawly skin.
Join me for today’s episode as we unpack:
The science behind “brain zaps”—why our nervous system goes a little haywire during perimenopause and how fluctuating hormone levels impact our hypothalamus
Body odor changes—the link between hormones, sweat, and bacteria, and the real reason you may be smelling less like a rose these days (that has nothing to do with hygiene)
Itchy, crawly skin—the medical condition commonly diagnosed as hives, eczema, or a rash that often accompanies hot flashes
Plus, I’ll also share my go-to natural remedies for reducing or even eliminating these crazy hormone symptoms including phytoestrogen-rich foods, B12 vitamins, and hormone-friendly skincare.
If you’ve been brushed off by your doctor or have been suffering in silence, secretly searching “weird menopause symptoms” on TikTok, this episode is for you!

Hey friend,
…Have you ever heard a ringing in your ears and blamed it on attending too many Madonna concerts in the 90’s?
…Have you ever felt like someone snuck a piece of Chinese Red Pepper or Carolina Reaper onto your dinner plate when you weren’t looking?

In this two-part episode, I’m spilling the tea on six mysterious ailments, along with the one contributing cause common to them all! (Spoiler alert: It has to do with our hormones.) 🤦🏼♀️

Hey friend,
Are you dealing with body aches and joint pain that don’t go away, no matter what you do?
Has your chronic pain and inflammation started to impact your mood, your relationships, or even your everyday activities? (Meanwhile, your doctor insists your symptoms are just “part of the aging process"?)
If you’ve been popping Advil lately like their M&M’s just to get through the day, you are not alone!
According to the latest research, nearly 100 million Americans between the ages of 20 and 64 suffer from chronic pain. And, up to 70% of all chronic pain sufferers are women. (🙋🏼♀️No surprise there!)
The problem is that while the majority of people dealing with chronic pain are women, eighty percent of all pain studies are conducted on male mice or humans–which means underlying root causes, like female hormones, are rarely considered when identifying effective solutions.
Join me for today’s episode as we unpack:
The four contributing hormonal causes of joint pain, body aches, and inflammation
How perimenopause and menopause can accelerate inflammation in a woman’s body
Traditional medicine’s approach vs functional nutrition’s approach to reducing and even eliminating inflammation and related symptoms
Plus, I’ll share the exact 3-step protocol I take my clients through to nourish, detoxify, and optimize their gut and hormones and ease pain naturally.
If you’re 1 in 5 of all women suffering from chronic pain, this episode is for you!

Hey friend!
Quick mental health check: Have you felt more anxious, tense, or “on edge” lately? If you’re nodding your head or counting on both hands the number of times you snapped at a loved one this week, you’re not alone!
According to a recent study of 40,000 perimenopausal and menopausal women, nearly 60% reported severe anxiety or depression!!!
Another study reports that one in three of all women going to their doctor for mood swings or other mood-related symptoms of perimenopause and menopause are offered anxiety medication as the sole solution.
The problem is: If you’re in your mid-30s to mid-50s, the irritability, anxiety, or anger you’re feeling is likely not just “in your head”; it’s in your hormones.
And while SSRIs may sometimes help, they can often just be a bandaid for other hormonal symptoms that will only continue to worsen over time.
So what can you do to ease your anxiety without drugs, doctors (or divorce?)
Join me for today’s episode as we unpack:
The root cause of perimenopausal and menopausal anxiety
Why your anxiety medication isn’t working…or is no longer working
Whether oral contraceptives can help balance hormone-related mood swings
Plus, 5 tips to reduce your anxiety, naturally
If you’re 1 in 4 women in perimenopause through post-menopause dealing with anxiety, intense mood swings, or personality changes, this episode is for you!

Hey friend!
Today’s show is all about the liver and how to help your body cleanse and detoxify itself naturally.
I just recently returned from a 2-week Mediterranean cruise where I drank coffee and cocktails all day, stayed up to into the wee hours of the night, and ate “all of the things” in every port we stopped. And, now…my body is on strike!If you’ve recently enjoyed a vacation–or maybe even an entire summer–where you deviated from your regular routine, it can be common to feel out of sorts. That’s because unhealthier diet or lifestyle habits–repeated over time–can put a lot of strain on our liver–the organ responsible for eliminating hormone-disrupting toxins in the body.
In this episode you will learn:

Hey friend!
Today’s episode is all about menopause. It was inspired by a very revealing conversation I had on my recent vacation that reminded me how much of a mystery menopause STILL is to so many women.
In the United States, roughly 1.3 million women experience menopause every year. Globally, that number soars to 25 million! HALF of the world's population will go through menopause in their lifetime, yet there are STILL so many myths floating around this very natural midlife transition that make it misunderstood…and often misidentified.
That’s why I’m shining a light on 8 menopausal myths that your mom, bestie, (and maybe even your doctor) haven’t shared with you.
Join me as I discuss the top questions--and misconceptions--surrounding menopause, including:
Menopause: When does it start (and aren’t I too young for this?)
How can I be menopausal if I don’t have hot flashes?
Can I just take a blood test to tell whether I’m in menopause?
My mother didn’t have any menopausal symptoms so why do I?
How long does menopause last and can I still get pregnant if I’m not getting a regular period?
Why doesn’t my doctor bring up menopause (or why is she dismissing my symptoms when I do)?
Is HRT the only solution to balance my hormones in menopause?
If you’re between the ages of 40 and 55 and wondering if you may be in menopause, too…this episode is for you. I guarantee by the end of this episode you’re going have a lot more clarity on exactly where YOU are in the menopause transition–and feel a whole lot more hopeful about your options.:)

Hey friend,
Today, we are taking a trip back in time.. going deep inside the podcast vault to revisit my very first episode of the pod: Ep. #1: “How Do I Know If I’m in Perimenopause?”
If you already listened to this episode in March, I’m resharing this episode for TWO VERY IMPORTANT REASONS:
1.) First, I’m launching a brand new series of the podcast this month where I’ll be taking a deep dive into more than 26 perimenopause and menopause symptoms–from Anxiety to Zits…and all the letters of the alphabet in between. And in order to get the MOST out of this series, I want to make sure you have a basic understanding of perimenopause, how it relates to its older sister, menopause, and how you can be sure if YOU’RE really going through it.
2.) Second, perimenopause can be difficult to diagnose. If you’ve ever had a visit with your doctor and brought up the “possibility” of perimenopause…and he looked back at you like that time your husband forgot your birthday…ya know what I’m talking about.:)
Not only are most doctors ill-equipped to treat patients in perimenopause, but there are a lot of other health issues that start to emerge right around the same age. And since there’s no ONE test to diagnose perimenopause, doctors can’t be sure whether your symptoms are due to a shift in your hormones…or something else entirely.
This episode is so important, it's worth repeating!
So, in today’s flashback episode, I’m getting SUPER vulnerable and sharing with you my personal hormone story, as well as walking you through three tell-tale signs that you’re in perimenopause.
In this episode you will learn:
What age does perimenopause start?
How long does perimenopause typically last?
Perimenopausal spotting and perimenopausal periods: What to expect
Perimenopause and birth control: How synthetic hormones affect your body’s natural transition
Plus: What are the most common perimenopausal symptoms?
Whether you just back home from a vacation where you completely fell off the healthy eating wagon, OR you’re feeling the effects of a little “too much” summer fun…and you’re not quite done yet...this episode is for you!
If you’ve got a laundry list of hormonal symptoms…and a copy of your latest lab results that says, “Everything is normal,” grab a notepad and just push play.—

Hey friend!
Are you getting ready to go on vacation this month? Me too! 🙋♀️
More than 82% of all US adults–or more than 212 million people–are planning to take a vacation this summer. (That’s a lot of luggage, lol!)
But all that travel can be hard on our hormones.
Because when we travel, our sleep, healthy eating, hydration, and regular exercise routine can all go sideways, in turn, impacting our blood sugar, gut health, and key hormones like estrogen, progesterone, and cortisol.
And when our hormones are out-of-whack, that can lead to us feeling bloated, moody, and, ok, I’m just gonna say it…”constipated,” and who wants to be that girl on vacation?!?
In today’s “Hot Flash Summer” podcast series episode, I’m sharing five essential travel tips every perimenopausal woman needs to know to help keep your hormones balanced so YOU can live your best Hot Girl Summer.
Join me as we discuss:
The best foods to eat to help you stay hydrated while flying
The one thing most people do while traveling that causes constipation
My favorite snacks to pack in an airplane carry-on (and, yes, TSA does allow you to bring your own food:)
To sleep or not to sleep on your flight (including my favorite supplement to help you relax)
Plus, the very first thing you should do when you land to avoid jet lag
If you’re planning on taking a trip this summer–or this year–and want to arrive at your destination feeling your best, this episode is for you.
