In this episode, we’re diving into one of the most overlooked reasons women, especially busy moms, struggle to lose weight: dysregulated cortisol. If you feel like you’re doing all the right things but the weight still won’t budge, this one’s for you.

You’ll learn: ✅ How cortisol makes your body hold onto fat ✅ Why both high and low cortisol can slow your metabolism ✅ The symptoms of cortisol imbalance that women often ignore ✅ Why “eat less, move more” might be doing more harm than good ✅ How to test your cortisol and what your results actually mean ✅ Real solutions to help your body feel safe enough to release weight

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.

• 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

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.

You'll hear:

• 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.

• GI-MAP testing

• Mineral balancing + drainage

• Estrogen detox and hormone recycling

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