Welcome back to our hormone mini-series! Following our deep dive into estrogen, Part 2 unravels the mysteries of progesterone – arguably the TRUE 'female hormone,’ crucial for a healthy cycle and beyond.

Unfortunately, most women aren’t making adequate levels of progesterone, or even know that it even exists. It’s time to give it the spotlight it deserves with its key role in your cycle and overall health.

In this episode, we'll dive into:

→ Signs of low progesterone (like PMS, spotting, early miscarriage)

→ The daily habits keeping your progesterone low & how to increase it naturally through nutrition & lifestyle shifts

→ Accurately testing & measuring your hormones

→ Natural progesterone vs. synthetic progestin

→ Progesterone’s vital role in your brain, fertility, metabolism, mood, and overall health

Achieving optimal progesterone isn't just about the ovaries; it's a whole-body effort involving your thyroid, mitochondrial function, nutrition, the delicate balance with other hormones like estrogen and LH, your liver, brain, and adrenal system.

After this episode, you’ll know how progesterone made, used, and how to best support it in your everyday life for fertility, healthy menstrual cycles, mental health, youthfulness, stress management, and more.

Ever wonder what's really going on with your hormones? In Part 1 of our hormone mini series, we’re diving deep into everything you need to know about ESTROGEN (spoiler alert: Despite what you might hear, estrogen isn't the enemy!)

We’ll dive into:

• The different types of estrogen (natural and synthetic)

• How estrogen is made, used, and eliminated by your body

• Understanding “estrogen dumping'”

• Estrogen's crucial role in fertility and your menstrual cycle

• Key factors that can throw your estrogen levels out of balance

We'll break down the vital roles estrogen plays – from building your uterine lining and supporting fertility to its surprising impact on every aspect of your well-being: from your gut microbiome and energy levels to your memory, mood, and even your creativity.

But what about when estrogen levels become imbalanced? You may have heard of “estrogen dominance,” but what does that actually mean for your health?

We'll explore the common culprits behind high estrogen hiding in plain sight. Discover the surprising impact of birth control, environmental toxins (xenoestrogens), inflammation, stress (cortisol), and even your gut health and liver function, as well as the energetic patterns that can mirror hormonal imbalances.

↳ Be sure to tune in to Part 2, where we'll explore the vital role of progesterone!

Navigating the world of supplements can feel overwhelming. In this episode, we cut through the confusion to explore the crucial question: Do you really need supplements to support your health?

How often have you been told you're deficient and handed a bottle of pills without a deeper conversation?

We'll discuss the importance of trusting the safety and quality of what you're taking, if and when supplementing is actually needed for fertility & hormone support, and ultimately, how to prioritize real, nourishing food for optimal well-being and healthy, happy periods, whether it’s…

• individual nutrients (vitamins & minerals)

• multi-vitamins & prenatals

• herbal hormone balancing supplements

• Bio-identical hormones (like progesterone)

But what happens when testing reveals a deficiency? Are supplements always the answer? And how do you navigate the poorly regulated supplement industry to find products you can actually trust?

We break down the reality of how the supplement industry is regulated, how blindly taking a vitamin can throw your body further out of balance, how to nourish your body intuitively with a food-first approach and using supplements as they were designed to- as a boost to the foundation of healthy living.

If you're tired of blindly buying supplements and want personalized guidance on nourishing your body for easy, regular, fertile cycles, book a 1-on-1 call with me ↓
