Send us a textWeight gain can be a side effect of hormone imbalances, but I'm a big believer that our bodies have to feel safety to be able to lose fat effectively, and we create that safety through nourishment.

Send us a textI have one more episode in the birth control series for you today - a much requested episode on the hormonal IUD. I'm covering how the hormonal IUD works, how the Mirena, Skyla, and Kyleena IUDs are different, and how you can support your body during and after IUD use for happier hormones. I'm answering questions like "what should I expect from my cycle with an IUD?" and "Will I ovulate with an IUD?"Birth control is a deeply personal choice and I really believe that women should have informed consent when it comes to this topic - which means getting so much more information than you would typically get at a doctor's visit! The bottom line is this: Whatever choice you make can always be made better with good nourishment, good detox support, and learning to interpret the rhythms in your body so you can have more energy, periods without pain, and a stable mood all month long (even during PMS week). If you're ready to get off of birth control and wanting to conceive in the next year come join us in Nourish Your Hormones so you can not only replenish + recover post birth control but you can set a foundation of nourishment for both you and baby during your pregnancy and beyond.

Send us a textWelcome back to our birth control series!Today I'm talking about WHY you need to replenish your minerals and crucial vitamins post birth control and how replenishing minerals and supporting the liver can actually help overall with hormone balance whether you're trying to conceive or just wanting to have happier hormones all around. In this episode I'm sharing some of my favorite ways to support the liver through food, and how supporting the liver increases your ability to have balanced blood sugar, more energy, and less stress on the body. We're also talking about how you can replenish minerals in a way that's safe & effective without upsetting the mineral balance in your body and causing more problems down the road. Remember - you can't supplement your way out of a lifestyle that isn't working for your body, whether that's crazy high stress levels, not nourishing well, or a combination of both. That's why I have the step by step for you inside of Nourish Your Hormones so you can not only have better periods, more energy, and kick your PMS to the curb, but you can do it in a way that's sustainable for your busy life so you don't end up back in the same place a few months later...but with more baggage.

Send us a textWelcome back to our birth control September series, we're finally moving into the conversation of how to replenish your body after birth control and recover from the effects it has had on your hormones and gut. Today, gut health is the main focus and I'm sharing some of the ways birth control affects the gut that are often overlooked, including an increased risk of leaky gut and even a 30% increased risk of severe gut symptoms like IBD. I believe that women deserve fully informed consent when given any medication, and gut health is not something we're often given info about when we start taking birth control. Birth control can also cause you to burn through more nutrients and minerals so I'm walking you through the steps I would take if I were coming off of birth control, trying to restore my gut from previous birth control use, or preparing to conceive after birth control.

Send us a textDid you hear that I only have a few spots left for 1:1 coaching for the rest of the YEAR? (Yes, we're already winding down 2024 what is life?) If you want coaching from me on your hormones this month is your best bet to sign up for 1:1 or group coaching at this linkWe're back for round 2 of the birth control and informed consent series and today I'm going to deep dive on the copper IUD. It's the MOST effective form of birth control with only a 0.6% failure rate, and it's not hormonal...but does that mean it doesn't affect hormones at all? As you may have guessed, anything that you put in your body is going to affect more than just one body system so I'm going through the way the copper IUD works, how it affects your hormones, minerals, liver, and body as a whole, and I'm even talking about how you can support your body if you decide that the copper IUD is the best choice for you. Birth control is such a personal choice and I would love to help you make an informed decision that fits your needs, so share this episode with a friend who needs to hear it and keep coming back the rest of the month as we talk about different birth control options and how to support your body through birth control use and how to recover/replenish when you're coming off of birth control.
