About this listen

 *TOP 5% GLOBALLY RANKED PODCAST* Feeling exhausted no matter how much you sleep? Dealing with stubborn weight that won’t budge, unpredictable digestion, or energy crashes that hit hard, especially after having kids? Do you feel like your body is working against you, and no matter how “healthy” you try to be, you’re still bloated, burnt out, and wondering what happened to the old you? I’m Sara Moreira, nurse, functional diagnostic nutrition practitioner, and mom of 4. After walking through my own journey of postpartum depletion, flatlined cortisol, and gut imbalances, I know what it’s like to feel dismissed, misdiagnosed, and told “everything looks normal” when you feel anything but. For years I was stuck in the cycle of clean eating, supplement guessing, and chasing symptom after symptom until I discovered how powerful it is to work with the body, not against it. Now I blend functional lab testing with ancestral rhythms, mineral balancing, and a faith-rooted, nervous system-supportive approach to help women restore their metabolism, digestion, and energy after having kids. Inside the Hormone Healing for Moms Podcast, we go beyond quick fixes and diets to uncover the root causes of chronic fatigue, hormonal imbalances, bloating, hair loss, and weight loss resistance. You’ll learn how to reset your circadian rhythm, balance your master hormones like insulin and cortisol, and nourish your body back to safety with simple, science-backed strategies rooted in both functional medicine and God-designed healing. Each episode will help you understand your body on a deeper level so you can get real results that last without burning out or giving up the things that matter most. Because true healing isn’t just physical, it’s spiritual too. Let’s redefine what it means to bounce back after kids and walk in the healing and wholeness you were always meant for.Copyright 2025 All rights reserved.

    Jul 18 2025

    If you’ve ever gone down a Google rabbit hole trying to figure out what’s safe, effective, or just plain hype, this episode is for you.

    In today’s conversation, I chat with certified health educator Heather Bedard about how to quickly tell whether a piece of health advice is trustworthy or not, how to advocate for yourself at the doctor’s office without second-guessing, and how to tell the difference between helpful holistic tools and overhyped fads. This is your guide to building a foundation of health wisdom that actually feels good and aligns with your values as a mom.

    What You’ll Learn:

    • The 3 biggest red flags to watch for when scrolling through health content

    • A simple trick to tell if a study is reliable (without needing to be a scientist)

    • How to advocate for yourself in the medical world (even if you’ve been dismissed before)

    • Heather’s method for filtering out fads from truly helpful holistic practices

    • Why “doing your own research” doesn’t have to be overwhelming or time-consuming

    Resources - > 7 day Drainage guide!

    Think your hormone issues are all about your ovaries or cycle? Not so fast. In this episode, I break down three sneaky signs your gut might actually be the reason your hormones feel off like constant bloating, mood swings, and weight loss resistance.

    • Why gut infections (like parasites or dysbiosis) can throw off your entire hormone balance

    • The real connection between constipation and estrogen overload

    • How food sensitivities and inflammation in your gut can trigger hormone symptoms like mood swings and period problems

    • What I look for on gut tests like the GI-MAP

    • And what to do first if you’re feeling stuck and inflamed

    If you’ve been chasing your hormones and not seeing results, your gut might be the missing piece.

    Mentioned in This Episode:

    • GI-MAP testing

    • Mineral balancing + drainage

    • Estrogen detox and hormone recycling

    • How I work with clients using a whole-body, root-cause approach
