If you’ve been told to “eat less and move more,” but you’re stuck with brain fog, fatigue, heavy cycles, anxiety, or hot flashes—this episode is your reframe. We’re unpacking the hidden cost of under-eating and over-exercising on your hormones, especially in perimenopause and menopause. You’ll learn how chronic low intake shrinks meal tolerance, spikes cortisol, disrupts blood sugar, and triggers the feast/famine cycle that keeps you dysregulated.

What we cover:

• Why your body isn’t “broken”—it’s under-fueled and stressed
• How low intake raises cortisol and steals from progesterone (hello, PMS and heavier cycles)
• Perimenopause/menopause shifts: why protein becomes non-negotiable and too many refined carbs worsen hot flashes and sleep
• Symptoms of under-fueling: brain fog, fatigue, anxiety, heavy/irregular cycles, hot flashes, night sweats, hair changes, cravings
• A gentle ramp-up plan to increase intake without bloat (so your stomach and nervous system can adapt)
• Exactly what to eat at each meal: PFF plates (protein, fat, fiber-rich carbs) with easy breakfast, lunch, dinner, and snack ideas
• Smart timing: coffee with food, post-meal walks, and spacing meals every 3–5 hours
• Supportive supplements and timing (educational only): magnesium glycinate at night, omega-3s and D3/K2 with meals, B-complex in the morning, creatine daily, myo-inositol, electrolytes, and optional adaptogens

Walk away with a realistic plan to rebuild safety in your body, stabilize blood sugar, and nourish your hormones—without hustle or perfection.

Have you ever started a morning routine with the best intentions — journaling, meditation, workouts, smoothies — only to quit a week later? You’re not alone.

In this episode of Healing Her Feminine, I break down the 5 most common reasons morning rituals fail and why healthy habits often feel like a rollercoaster ride. Sometimes you don’t see results as quickly as you’d like, sometimes your body doesn’t respond because the practice isn’t right for your body, and other times there are hidden barriers like stress, poor sleep, or even nutrient absorption issues. And let’s be honest, sometimes you just need a reward to keep the habit going.

You’ll learn:

✨ The biggest mistakes women make when starting morning rituals

✨ How to reframe “failure” as feedback

✨ A simple formula for building consistency that actually lasts

✨ Tangible daily solutions to overcome stress, motivation dips, and physiological blocks

You eat clean, take your supplements, maybe even exercise regularly, but you’re still exhausted, moody, or not seeing results. Sound familiar?

In this episode of Healing Her Feminine, I uncover why “healthy” habits don’t always equal hormone balance. We’ll talk about the overlooked signs of imbalance, the hidden role of stress and lifestyle, and why your body sometimes resists the very things you’re doing to heal. Think of it like a rollercoaster ride, progress isn’t always linear, and sometimes you’re not seeing results because your body needs a different approach, has physiological blocks (like nutrient absorption), or simply needs consistency and rewards built in.

You’ll learn:
✨ The subtle signs of hormone imbalance most women miss
✨ How stress and lifestyle factors quietly throw your hormones out of sync
✨ Why healthy routines can feel like they “aren’t working” (and what to do about it)
✨ One simple daily habit you can start today to begin realigning your body
