  • 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)

    In this episode, both Brandi and Desiree will be diving deeper into the benefits of functional mushrooms and sharing with us how we can use them to balance out hormones.

    They’ll also be discussing how to customize functional mushrooms for your individual needs, the research supporting the benefits of these mushrooms, and how to incorporate functional mushrooms into your daily life.

    ➡️ Energy Balls Recipe:

    2 cups of shredded coconut

    1 cup of nut butter of choice

    1 tsp of redmond’s or celtic sea salt

    1 tsp of vanilla extract

    1 cup of your ground seed blend for that phase

    3.5 tsp of your mushroom blend for that phase

    1 bar of dark chocolate chopped up

    1/3 cup of honey

    Mold into balls and refrigerate. You want to make the size of your balls so that each batch only lasts 7 days. This means you will get the appropriate amount of seeds and mushroom blend for each day. I try and make 14 balls. You may need to play around with how much nut butter you put in to really nail the texture. Also, you really can’t taste the mushrooms at all!

  • EPISODE 167: In the last few years, and especially since 2020, skincare has become all the rage. Just typing “skincare” on TikTok or Instagram would flood you with millions upon millions of results touting the benefits of all types of products.

    However, skincare doesn’t always mean “good for your skin,” and more often than not, it can give you the opposite of what you were wishing for —instead of clear, bright, and beautiful skin, you end up with dullness, fine line, and acne.

    The latter is what I’m discussing in this week’s episode of Balancing Hormones Naturally with my guest, the amazing Kayleigh Christina.

    Kayleigh is a certified holistic nutritionist and the co-founder of CLEARSTEM Skincare, and today, she and I will be discussing everything you need to know if you struggle with acne.

    We’ll be going over the external and internal causes of acne, the effects of vitamin supplements on your skin, why so-called “clean” products are not always the best choice for acne-prone skin, and more.

    Ready to start working towards the skin of your dreams?

    Let’s dive in.

    Key Takeaways:

    Introduction (00:00)

    Why Kayleigh created her skincare line (02:58)

  • Here’s a shocking fact: women weren't included in medical research until the mid-1990s! It’s no wonder that perimenopause feels like uncharted territory!

    It’s normal for women to feel overwhelmed and confused by perimenopause, but there’s a way to move through it smoothly and even come out stronger on the other side.

  • Did you know that daily external distractions have increased by 500% in the last 25 years? It’s no wonder that women today are feeling overwhelmed.

    This pressure to be always hyperproductive, and the stress it creates in our bodies, is a common trigger for hormonal imbalance.

    But there’s a way to maintain (and improve) productivity without it taking a toll on our health. And it all comes down to time management.

    Today, I’m speaking to Lieve Hendren, an ICF-certified work performance coach and strategy consultant and the author of “The Joyful Flow Formula”.

    Lieve talks about effective strategies that have helped hundreds of professionals achieve more in less time while keeping stress at bay. We also explore the awful impact of modern-day distractions and how to counteract them to enhance your focus and output.

    Tune in for tips on how to manage your time, set goals, and improve your performance at work, all while feeling healthier and more fulfilled!
