In this episode of Hormone Happy Hour, I’m sipping a fun little mocktail and taking you behind the scenes of how my views on health have evolved over the years. If you’ve been in the wellness space for a while, you’ve probably tried a few of these things too. I have. And today I’m sharing what I’ve learned, what I’ve shifted, and what I would approach differently now.

This episode isn’t about bashing trends. It’s about maturity in health. It’s about understanding the difference between chasing solutions and actually building a foundation.

Here’s what we get into:

• Why I’ve refined how I use labs (and why more data isn’t always better)
• The hierarchy of healing and why minerals and metabolism matter more than trendy detoxes
• Parasite cleanses: when they’re supportive and when they’re unnecessary
• Why bio-individuality is non-negotiable in real healing
• A nuanced conversation about GLP-1s and where they fit (and don’t fit) in personalized care
• The role of macros, workouts, and abundance in long-term hormone balance

At the end of the day, this episode is about discernment. It’s about knowing your body well enough to stop jumping from one shiny solution to the next and instead asking, “What is my foundation actually missing?” Because when you understand your minerals, your metabolism, and your nervous system, you stop chasing and start building.

As always, if you’re ready for personalized support, consult calls are open and I’d love to help you identify what your body actually needs next.

In today’s episode of Hormone Happy Hour, I’m talking directly to the women who are past the newborn phase. If you’re one, two, or even five years postpartum and wondering why your energy, mood, cycles, or fertility feel off — this conversation is for you.

We dive into what actually happens to your hormones after pregnancy (hint: it doesn’t magically resolve after the first year) and why mineral depletion plays such a huge role in lingering symptoms. I explain how iron and copper can become dysregulated during pregnancy and birth, why that matters for metabolism and hormone production, and how mineral work can completely change the postpartum experience when it’s done intentionally.

In this episode, we cover:

• Why postpartum hormone challenges often last years — not months
• The mineral shifts pregnancy creates (and why they matter for fertility and energy)
• Iron and copper dysregulation and how it affects your hormones and metabolism
• How hair mineral testing helps guide personalized healing
• Rebuilding your body without burning yourself out
• Balancing masculine and feminine energy in motherhood
• What true postpartum support should look like

If you’ve been feeling depleted, disconnected from your body, or frustrated that you’re still not where you expected to be, this episode will help you understand why and what to do next.

In this episode, we’re talking about something that impacts energy, hormones, mood, and cravings more than most people realize: blood sugar. We walk through how blood sugar works, the role insulin plays, and why consistent nourishment matters far more than perfection. I also share what I’m seeing in client work, things like how macronutrients, minerals, and total intake all work together to support steady energy and calmer cravings.

This episode isn’t about rigid rules or micromanaging food. It’s about learning how to support your body in a way that feels sustainable, grounded, and responsive to what it’s asking for physically, emotionally, and spiritually.

In this episode, we cover:

• Why blood sugar regulation matters for hormones and daily energy
• How skipping meals and under-eating quietly disrupt stability
• The role of insulin and consistent eating patterns
• Why protein, carbs, and fats all matter and why none of them work alone
• How mineral status influences cravings and blood sugar swings
• What cravings often signal about nutrient needs
• The connection between stress, emotions, and blood sugar balance

If you’ve ever felt tired, shaky, moody, or stuck in cycles of cravings and crashes, this episode will help you understand what’s happening and where to start supporting your body more intentionally.
