82. Trying to Conceive for 6+ Months? Here's Where I'd Start26 oct. 202600:41:25

Okay friend, if you’ve been trying to get pregnant for six months or longer and you’re starting to wonder what’s going on, this episode is for YOU! 

 I’m breaking down where I’d start if pregnancy just isn’t happening, what clues your body might already be giving you, and why getting answers doesn’t have to mean jumping straight into complicated fertility treatments. 

We’re talking about the fertility basics I want every woman to understand, from confirming ovulation and tracking cervical mucus to looking at libido, hormone patterns, and the labs that may help fill in the missing pieces. And yes, we’re talking about your husband’s health, too! Because fertility is a team effort, and I want you to feel informed, supported, and confident about your next steps. 

In this episode:

  • Where to start if you’ve been trying to conceive for 6+ months
  • How basal body temperature tracking can help confirm ovulation
  • What cervical mucus, libido and cycle symptoms can tell you about fertility
  • The blood work and mineral testing I consider when looking for deeper answers
  • Why your husband’s hormones and sperm health deserve attention, too
  • How to move forward with clarity instead of getting overwhelmed by fertility information
  • Details on my Missing Piece sessions + Restore Your Progesterone program

81. Is Trying to Fix Your Body Breaking it? Let Me Help You Stop Chasing Symptoms & Start Stewarding Your Health19 oct. 202600:42:07

Okay, but what if all the things you’re doing to heal your hormones are actually keeping you stuck? 

We’ve all been there - ordering more tests, trying new supplements, researching every symptom, and feeling like there’s ALWAYS something else to fix. In this episode, I’m talking about what I call “healing backwards” and why doing all the things might not be getting you where you want to go. 

We’re also getting into the difference between constantly trying to fix your body and actually learning how to take care of it. I’m sharing some perspective from Romans 8, what God has been showing me about healing, and why knowing what season you’re in matters SO much. Because friend, you weren’t meant to spend your whole life chasing symptoms. 💛

In this episode:

  • What “healing backwards” looks like and why you might be stuck in fix-it mode
  • How information overload, endless testing & hypervigilance can work against you
  • The difference between fixing your body and stewarding your health
  • What Romans 8 can teach us about healing
  • Why understanding your current season matters for your next steps
  • Real client examples of hormone, gut, and blood sugar clues

80. Hormone Imbalances Affecting Your Marriage… 4 Dynamics That Could Explain Why12 oct. 202600:43:48

Let’s talk about something we don’t always connect to our hormones… MARRIAGE! 

 Have you ever felt like you and your husband keep having the same arguments, intimacy feels like another thing on your to-do list, or you’re both just completely exhausted? What if it’s not just a communication problem? Today, we’re digging into how hormones, nervous system safety, and masculine/feminine dynamics may be playing a bigger role in your marriage than you realize.

I’m breaking down four common relationship patterns I see with my clients and how things like low progesterone, low testosterone, chronic stress, and burnout can influence the way we show up for each other. Because sometimes another communication strategy isn't the missing piece—your bodies may need support, too! 

In this episode:

  • Why hormones and nervous system health may be impacting your marriage
  • The 4 relationship patterns I see couples getting stuck in
  • What happens when masculine + feminine polarity feels flipped
  • Why feeling safe matters for connection, intimacy and libido
  • Why supporting your physical health can be just as important as communication skills

79. Tea Time: I Crashed My Hormones… TWICE05 oct. 202600:53:10

Okay friends, it’s confession time! 

I’m spilling the tea on how I managed to crash my own progesterone not once, but TWICE. Yep, even as a hormone expert! But first, we’re celebrating some BIG client wins, from long-awaited pregnancies to postpartum weight loss, and talking about why progesterone is often the missing piece when it comes to energy, libido, fertility, mood, and actually seeing results from all your hard work.

I’m sharing the sneaky signs I missed, how intense workouts, under-eating, and blurred work boundaries caught up with me, and exactly what I did to rebuild. Because sometimes doing MORE is actually working against your hormones. Let’s talk about what it looks like to stop chasing symptoms, start nourishing your body, and train smarter without sacrificing your progesterone. 

In this episode:

  • How I crashed my own progesterone TWICE (and the warning signs I missed)
  • Why intense workouts, under-eating, and chronic stress can work against your hormones
  • The connection between progesterone, motivation, focus, & libido
  • How I adjusted my nutrition, workouts + daily routines to rebuild
  • Why doing less and creating better boundaries can lead to better results
  • The hormone basics I want you to start tracking each month

78. Sneaky Blood Sugar Things That Are Messing With Your Hormones28 sept. 202600:42:34

Happy fall, friends! 🍂 We’re kicking things off with a reminder from my son’s teacher that I think we ALL need to hear: Do your best and keep going. Because perfectionism can keep us stuck in a cycle of stress and symptoms. And that brings us to today’s topic: BLOOD SUGAR! We’re talking about why blood sugar regulation is foundational for progesterone, energy, sleep, and helping your body feel safe enough to heal.

I’m breaking down the sneaky signs of blood sugar dysregulation, why more protein isn’t always the answer, and how minerals, carbs, digestion, and fiber all play a role. Plus, we’re connecting the physical and spiritual dots when it comes to getting out of survival mode and learning to trust your body again. 💛

In this episode:

  • Why releasing perfectionism matters in your healing journey
  • Sneaky signs of blood sugar dysregulation, from night waking to cravings and mood swings
  • The connection between blood sugar, progesterone, & cortisol
  • Why undereating and inadequate carbs may be working against you
  • How minerals, digestion, and fiber support metabolic health
  • The connection between PCOS + blood sugar regulation
  • Why spiritual rest + nervous system safety matter
  • How my Missing Piece sessions & Restore Your Progesterone program can help you find your next steps

77. 3 Key Foundations Your Body Needs to Actually Heal21 sept. 202600:45:45

If you’ve been collecting labs, supplements, protocols, and advice but STILL feel like you don’t know what your body actually needs… this episode is for you.

 We’re talking fertility, but honestly? These principles apply to healing in general. I’m breaking down why getting unstuck often requires more than another supplement. It's about shifting your identity, rebuilding trust with your body, and getting your mind, emotions, desires, and choices moving in the same direction. 

Then we’re getting practical. I’m sharing the physical signs I look for when assessing whether the body feels supported enough for fertility and healing, plus the three tests that can give us a much clearer picture of what’s happening underneath the surface. And because fertility isn’t just a woman’s responsibility, we’re talking about what to look at with your husband, too!

In this episode:

  • Why more labs, supplements and advice don’t always equal more clarity
  • The identity shift that may need to happen before your body can move forward
  • Reconnecting with healthy feminine energy + what that can look like in real life
  • Getting your thoughts, emotions, desires, & choices into alignment
  • The 3 tests I recommend for getting deeper answers: Full Monty iron, HTMA + gut testing
  • Why the body prioritizes survival needs before reproduction
  • Why your husband’s health matters too and when to consider sperm analysis

76. How to Fix Your Husband… Let’s Be Real: What Is & Isn’t Your Job to Fix14 sept. 202600:46:04

Okay ladies, we’re talking about your husband today.

I’m joined by Leisha Drews, host of the Happily Hormonal Podcast, for a conversation about male hormones, low testosterone, gut health, and all the things that might be going on underneath the surface when your husband just doesn’t seem like himself. We’re breaking down signs of low testosterone and why hormones are often a clue that we need to look deeper at sleep, stress, inflammation, minerals, nutrition, and gut health.

But here’s the catch: you can’t actually “fix” your husband. 

In this episode:

  • Common signs of low testosterone from fatigue + belly fat to low libido, brain fog + lack of motivation
  • Why low testosterone may be a signal to look deeper at overall health
  • The connection between sleep, stress, inflammation, minerals and male hormones
  • Simple nutrition + lifestyle shifts that support men’s health
  • Why trying to control or “fix” your husband usually doesn’t work
  • How changing your own actions can shift the dynamic in your marriage
  • What feminine energy can actually look like in everyday marriage
  • Why we recommend The Empowered Wife as a resource for women who want to explore these relationship dynamics

75. The Spiritual Strategy for Immune System Chaos07 sept. 202600:48:20

This episode came from a BIG download I couldn’t ignore. 💛 We talk a lot about supporting hormones, minerals, the gut, and the nervous system, but what if there’s a deeper spiritual root keeping your body stuck in survival mode? Today, I’m digging into fear and how our thoughts, beliefs, and unresolved emotions may be connected to the way we experience stress and symptoms in the body.

I’m sharing what it means to view fear as an “altar,” how to recognize where you may have come into agreement with fear, and practical steps for replacing those beliefs with truth. We’re also going into Joshua 1:8 and the daily blueprint I believe God gives us for building strength and courage. And yes, we’re ending this one in prayer. 🙏

In this episode:

  • Why emotional regulation is an important piece of nervous system health
  • How thoughts, beliefs, and unresolved emotions can contribute to feeling stuck in survival mode
  • The potential connection between fear, stress & hormone, gut, and nervous system symptoms
  • Why supporting the physical body with minerals and other tools may only be one piece of the puzzle
  • What I mean when I talk about fear becoming an “altar” in our lives
  • The Joshua 1:8 blueprint I’m using to build strength and courage every day

74. What Changed When Lauren Stopped Chasing Symptoms Alone & Found the Support to Heal Her Hormones at the Root31 août 202600:46:03

Today’s episode is SUCH a special one. 💛 I’m sitting down with my client Lauren Vander Linden to share her incredible hormone healing testimony. After experiencing preeclampsia during pregnancy followed by persistent postpartum bleeding, Lauren had tried seemingly everything to figure out what was happening in her body. Together, we started looking deeper—at hormones, minerals, iron, cellular health, and the whole person rather than simply trying to make the symptom disappear.

But Lauren’s story is about so much more than labs and protocols. It’s a beautiful conversation about surrender, prayer, trusting your body, and allowing God into the healing process. Lauren shares how her energy, motherhood, marriage, and relationship with her body began to shift and the incredible moment when, after years of struggling with bleeding, it finally stopped. 

In this episode:

  • Lauren’s experience with preeclampsia + persistent postpartum bleeding
  • Looking beyond symptoms to hormones, minerals, iron + cellular health
  • How testing helped us identify gaps that had previously been missed
  • Thinking about your body’s energy like a “bank account”
  • What changed when Lauren stopped striving + started trusting her body
  • The role surrender, prayer + faith played in her healing journey
  • How healing impacted Lauren’s energy, motherhood + marriage
  • Making room for both miracles AND stewardship of the body
  • What Lauren’s story can teach us about what may be possible when we support the whole person

73. The Postpartum Non-Negotiables Every Woman Should Know24 août 202600:37:33

We’re kicking this episode off with a little fall menu yapping (because apparently Starbucks has a banana latte coming?!) before diving into a topic I feel SO strongly about: how we’re supporting women postpartum. Postpartum isn’t something your body simply “bounces back” from in six weeks. This season of healing can take much longer, and I want us to completely rethink what nourishment, rest, and recovery can look like, especially during those first 100 days.

I’m sharing the postpartum support framework I wish more women had, from rebuilding depleted minerals and supporting your metabolism to reconnecting with pleasure, femininity, and your spiritual life. 

In this episode: 

  • Why postpartum recovery deserves WAY more time, care + attention
  • What I want the first 100 days postpartum to look like for women
  • Why an HTMA around 12 weeks postpartum is one of my non-negotiables
  • How pregnancy can impact mineral status + why rebuilding matters
  • Supporting metabolism + getting your circadian rhythm back in sync
  • Simple ways to reconnect with pleasure + your feminine energy
  • Prophesying over your baby, your marriage + the postpartum experience you desire

The Lindsay Clancy Case: What We’re Missing About Postpartum Mental Health21 août 202600:35:20

This bonus episode of Hormone Happy Hour is a little different from our usual conversations. I’m sharing my thoughts on the Lindsay Clancy trial and the heartbreaking conversations surrounding postpartum depression, postpartum psychosis, medications, and what can happen when women feel unheard or unsupported during one of the most vulnerable seasons of their lives.

 

In this episode:

  •  My thoughts on the Lindsay Clancy case + the conversations surrounding the trial
  •  Postpartum depression, postpartum psychosis + the importance of believing women when they say something is wrong
  •  My perspective as a former pharmacist on medications + the traditional healthcare system
  •  How pregnancy after pregnancy can contribute to nutrient + mineral depletion
  •  Research around nutrient therapy and severe mental health symptoms
  •  The importance of support, relationships + caring for the whole woman postpartum
  • Why I believe testing, nourishment + a more functional approach deserve a place in these conversations

72. Reversing Early Perimenopause: The Progesterone & Nourishment Framework17 août 202600:47:30

Can we reverse early perimenopause symptoms?

In this episode of the Hormone Happy Hour, I’m digging into a question I know so many women in their 30s and early 40s are asking: Am I really in perimenopause already? We’re talking about why many of the symptoms labeled as “early perimenopause” may actually be signs of low progesterone and why that distinction matters.

I’m also sharing my whole-person framework for rebuilding progesterone by looking beyond symptoms and focusing on nourishment, metabolism, minerals, nervous system safety, and the environment your body needs to thrive. Plus, I’m touching on postpartum mineral depletion and why understanding what’s happening underneath the surface can be such an important piece of the hormone puzzle.

In this episode:

  • ✨ What perimenopause actually is and when we typically expect it to begin
  • 🤔 Why “early perimenopause” symptoms may actually point to low progesterone
  • 💛 The common symptoms of low progesterone to look for
  • 🥑 Why renourishing your body, mind, and spirit comes before trying to “fix” your hormones
  • 🧠 How nervous system safety plays a role in progesterone production
  • 🧪 Postpartum mineral depletion, iron-copper balance + why labs can give us important clues
  • 🔑 My 4-step framework for addressing low progesterone and early perimenopause symptoms
  • 🎉 How to join me for my free Boost Your Progesterone live training

71. The 4 Low Progesterone Levers (Season Two Is Here + a Summer Life Update)10 août 202600:43:18

Season two of Hormone Happy Hour is here! 🎉 

After a summer sabbatical (and a very non-resort-style trip to Costa Rica!), I’m back with some reflections on slowing down, what happens when fear shows up alongside freedom, and learning to give myself the same attentiveness and encouragement I so naturally give to others.

And of course, we’re talking hormones! I’m sharing a big shift I’ve been seeing behind the scenes with my clients from constantly trying to “fix” the body to focusing on what it actually needs to be filled with. Plus, I’m breaking down the 4 low progesterone levers and why pulling them in the right order matters.

In this episode:

  • 🌴 My Costa Rica adventures & lessons in slowing down
  • 🧠 Why fear can show up when we start creating more freedom
  • 💕 Rethinking the way we talk to and encourage ourselves
  • 🧀 My “Swiss cheese” gut analogy + shifting from fixing to filling
  • ✨ Why progesterone impacts mood, sleep, energy, libido and weight
  • 🔑 The 4 low progesterone levers: paused ovulation, cellular energy, nutrient stealing & cortisol protection
  • 🎂 An important progesterone caveat for women 45+
  • 💛 What’s coming inside my Restore Your Progesterone training + program

70. Reconnecting With Desire | A 4-Step Framework for Nervous System Safety (Season 1 Wrap Up)15 juin 202600:27:48

When was the last time you did something simply because you wanted to? Not because it was productive, healthy, efficient, or part of a plan, but because you genuinely desired it.

So many women have learned to disconnect from their desires in the name of responsibility, healing, fertility, or doing everything "right." But what if desire isn't something to ignore? What if it's actually valuable information? In this episode, we talk about how desire can reveal what your body needs to feel safe, supported, and fully alive. 

In this episode, I cover:

  • Why desire is important data, not something to dismiss
  • Why healing requires more than collecting nervous system tools
  • Faith, surrender, and abiding with God
  • How reconnecting with desire can impact hormones, cycles, fertility, and libido
  • The role of support and co-regulation in healing
  • A simple 4-step framework for practicing desire every day
  • Learning to say "yes" to what brings life and nourishment

I also share a few life updates, including our family's summer in Costa Rica, a pause before season two of the podcast, and ways to continue working together through consult calls.

69. The Energy That Changes It All | Understanding PCOS/PMOS Through a Metabolic Lens08 juin 202600:40:43

In this episode of the Hormone Happy Hour, we're talking about something I think more women need to understand: you may have signs of metabolic and hormone dysfunction without fitting the traditional picture of PCOS. If you've experienced things like low energy, cravings, mood swings, painful periods, cycle changes, low libido, sleep issues, or fertility struggles, your body may be giving you clues that there's a deeper metabolic conversation happening.

I also share why PCOS is increasingly being viewed through a broader metabolic lens and how our modern approach to healing can sometimes create more pressure, stress, and "doing" than our bodies actually need. We talk about the balance between physical support and energetic support, why both matter, and how creating safety in the body can be just as important as the supplements you're taking.

In this episode, I cover:

  • Signs you may be on the PCOS or metabolic dysfunction spectrum
  • The connection between metabolism, hormones, and fertility
  • Why energy availability matters for ovulation and progesterone
  • How striving, control, and pressure can impact hormone health
  • Feminine practices that support healing and nervous system regulation
  • Why getting specific with testing matters before adding more supplements
  • Worthiness, receiving, and letting healing feel less complicated
  • A practical framework for supporting your hormones from both angles

68. The Best Detox | What Actually Helps Your Body Eliminate Toxins01 juin 202600:44:14

In this episode, we're talking about detoxing, but probably not in the way you think. Instead of focusing on cleanses, restrictive protocols, or fear around toxins, I want to talk about what it actually looks like to support the detox systems God already built into your body.

Because the goal isn't perfection. The goal is resilience. Your liver, kidneys, gut, lymphatic system, skin, and nervous system were designed to help you process and eliminate what your body doesn't need. The question is whether those systems have the support and resources they need to do their job well.

In this episode, I cover:

  • Common toxin exposures in everyday life
  • Why so many women struggle with detoxification
  • How stress impacts your body's ability to detox
  • Gut health, bile flow, and regular bowel movements
  • Why undernourishment often creates more problems than toxins
  • Heavy metals, mineral depletion, and ionic mimicry
  • Supporting your liver without extreme cleanses
  • Nervous system safety and detoxification
  • Mental, emotional, and spiritual detox

67. The Things I Would Tell You If I Wasn’t Afraid to Hurt Your Feelings… (Hormones & Fertility Version)25 mai 202600:44:54

This episode of the Hormone Happy Hour is a little more honest, direct, and “big sister” style. I’m sharing some life updates, celebrating some really beautiful client wins lately, and talking through the things I genuinely wish more women understood when it comes to hormones, fertility, healing, and the way we’re living.

We talk about why healing often has to go deeper than supplements and protocols into things like mineral depletion, stress patterns, nervous system regulation, mindset, alignment, and the environments we’re living in every day. I also share some patterns I commonly see in women struggling with fertility and hormone symptoms, including the pressure, striving, and timeline obsession that can quietly keep the body stuck in survival mode.

In this episode, I cover:

  • Why minerals matter so much for fertility and hormones
  • The importance of changing the lifestyle that depleted you
  • Alignment, abundance, and healing beyond supplements
  • Speaking life, authority, and fruitfulness over your body
  • Physical patterns I commonly see in women struggling hormonally
  • Warmth, nourishment, digestion, and thyroid support
  • Masculine vs. feminine energy in healing
  • Why intimacy outside the fertile window matters too

66. Understanding H. Pylori | The Overlooked Root Cause of Gut, Thyroid, & Hormone Imbalances18 mai 202600:47:55

This episode of the Hormone Happy Hour podcast, is a deep dive into something that gets missed way more often than people realize: H. pylori. A lot of women think of it as only an ulcer or reflux bacteria, but it can actually impact so much more things like digestion, minerals, iron levels, skin, thyroid health, hormones, and even fertility.

I talk about why H. pylori can make it harder to absorb nutrients like iron, B12, and fat-soluble vitamins, how it connects to things like Hashimoto’s, histamine issues, acne, sluggish digestion, and immune stress, and why gut health matters so much when it comes to fertility for both women and men. We also get into testing, treatment options, biofilms, nervous system support, and the foundational lifestyle pieces that often get overlooked.

In this episode, I cover:

  • What H. pylori actually is
  • Signs and symptoms that often get missed
  • Gut health, skin issues, and histamine reactions
  • The connection between H. pylori and Hashimoto’s
  • Biofilms and hidden gut infections
  • GI-MAP testing and treatment options
  • Foundational healing support for the gut and nervous system

65. Gut Health & Hormones | Why Restrictive Protocols Aren’t Actually Healing Your Gut11 mai 202600:51:06

In this episode of the Hormone Happy Hour, I’m connecting the dots between gut health, the immune system, and hormonal imbalances that so many women are dealing with things like Hashimoto’s, eczema, acne, endometriosis, fertility struggles, anxiety, brain fog, stubborn weight gain, and even recurrent miscarriage connected to low progesterone.

I also talk about why so many women stay stuck even after trying restrictive gut protocols and supplements. Because a lot of gut healing starts with foundations that are often missed, especially low stomach acid. When stomach acid is low, it impacts mineral absorption, fat-soluble vitamins, cholesterol production, hormone health, skin health, and even the integrity of the gut lining itself. We also talk about nervous system safety, stress, eating habits, and the spiritual side of stewardship and healing.

In this episode, I cover:

  • The connection between gut health, the immune system, and hormones
  • Why gut protocols often fail to create lasting healing
  • Low stomach acid and how it impacts minerals and nutrient absorption
  • Leaky gut, inflammation, and immune-driven symptoms
  • Acne, eczema, anxiety, brain fog, fertility struggles, and stubborn weight gain
  • A top-down approach to gut healing and rebuilding
  • Why stress and nervous system dysregulation impact digestion
  • Stewarding your body through mindset, words, prayer, and healing rhythms

64. Fearfully & Wonderfully Made | Why So Many Symptoms Come from Living Outside God’s Design04 mai 202600:36:54

This episode is a little more faith-centered, I’m recording while traveling and preparing for a women’s conference around Psalm 139, and this message has been on my heart. We hear “fearfully and wonderfully made” often, but I want to invite you to see it as something deeper an invitation into safety, identity, and intimacy with God.

Because when your body doesn’t feel safe, it impacts everything…your hormones, nervous system, energy, and overall healing. In this episode, I talk about how true healing isn’t just physical, it’s body, mind, and spirit working together. And so many symptoms are actually signals that we’re living outside the design God created us for.

In this episode, I cover:

  • What “fearfully and wonderfully made” really means
  • The connection between safety, hormones, and the nervous system
  • Why healing has to include body, mind, and spirit
  • How lack of safety can show up physically
  • Speaking life-giving, identity-based words over yourself
  • Strengthening your spirit through prayer, Scripture, worship, and community
  • Living outside your design vs. returning to it
  • Being made for slower rhythms, deep roots, and true nourishment
  • Feminine design, receiving, and creativity

If this resonates, I also share ways to work together, including consult calls and updated programs around hormones, minerals, and fertility.

63. Q&A Chat: Life Updates, Hormone Trends & What I’m Loving Right Now27 avr. 202600:53:32

This episode is a little bit of everything in the best way! I’m answering your questions, sharing behind-the-scenes life updates, and opening up about a deeply personal “wilderness” season that shaped so much of where we are today…from loss and uncertainty to the restoration I couldn’t have planned on my own.

I also share what this current season looks like how I’m approaching workouts, style, business, and boundaries along with what I’m seeing right now with hormones, fertility, and the nervous system. If you’ve been feeling stuck or discouraged in your healing, this one will meet you there.

In this episode, I’m sharing:

  • A behind-the-scenes look at this season of life and business
  • My personal “wilderness” testimony and what it taught me about trust, identity, and timing
  • What restoration has looked like on the other side
  • Current routines: workouts, style shifts, and creating structure with flexibility
  • My recent favorite products (and a few “not-so-crunchy” confessions)
  • What I’m seeing right now with hormones + fertility (including low stomach acid trends)
  • Why some nervous systems actually feel safer in chaos and how that shows up in healing
  • Encouragement for when you feel stuck, discouraged, or like nothing is working

62. Upgrading Your Standards to Match the Version of You That Is Already Thriving (It’s Time to Get Out of Your Head and Into Your Body)20 avr. 202600:42:49

If you’re waiting for a supplement or a specific lab value to change your life, you’re looking at the wrong map.

We’re diving into the one thing that actually moves the needle when everything else…the protocols, the AI-generated advice, and the "experts" feels like a total mismatch for your real life. It turns out that rapid results (whether we’re talking about fertility wins or just finally feeling like a human again) don't come from working harder at a plan you hate; they come from a ruthless upgrade of what you’re willing to tolerate. I’m breaking down how to stop making decisions based on your past "stuck" self and how to start acting like the woman who already has the energy, the marriage, and the health you’re currently just wishing for.

In this episode, we’re getting into:

  • Why "good enough" is the silent killer of your hormone and fertility progress.
  • The difference between just changing your behavior and actually shifting your identity.
  • A somatic exercise to help you get out of your over-analytical brain and into what your body is actually telling you.
  • Real-life stories of how raising the bar led to a conception in eight weeks and a massive emotional "softening" for another client.
  • How to spot the "misalignment" in your current routine that’s draining your battery.
  • How to make decisions today based on the future version of you, not the version of you that’s tired and frustrated.

61. Good Sex, Nervous System Healing & Why Intimacy Feels Hard | Getting Out of Your Head and Back Into Your Body | Conversation with Leisha Drews13 avr. 202600:35:19

This episode is a little more open and honest than usual  so quick heads up to grab your headphones.

Leisha Drews joins me for a real conversation around sex, libido, and connection and how intimacy can actually support your nervous system, hormones, and overall healing. This builds on last week’s episode, because one of the ways women move out of stress and back into their bodies is through safe, connected intimacy.

We talk about what “good sex” actually means (hint: it’s not about performance), and some of the deeper blocks that can make connection feel hard — like perfectionism, polarity shifts in marriage, and unprocessed resentment or shame held in the body.

This isn’t about pressure… it’s about safety, presence, and connection.

In this episode, we cover:

  • Why intimacy can support nervous system regulation
  • What “good sex” really means 
  • Getting out of your head and back into your body
  • Common blocks: perfectionism, polarity shifts, and hidden resentment
  • The connection between the pelvic floor, emotions, and stored tension
  • Orgasms, release, and nervous system support
  • A simple “bring it to the light” conversation for more honesty and trust

60. Metabolizing Stress to Regulate Your Nervous System… The Missing Piece in Hormones, Gut Health & Fertility06 avr. 202600:47:05

If you’ve ever been told to “just relax,” lower your stress, or try another nervous system tool and it still didn’t fix your hormones, gut issues, energy, libido, or fertility struggles, this episode is for you.

In this episode of the Hormone Happy Hour, I’m talking about something I don’t hear discussed enough, the difference between trying to lower stress and actually metabolizing stress. Because the goal isn’t to eliminate stress from your life (that’s impossible), it’s to close the stress loop so your body can return to safety.

When we stay stuck in fight-or-flight, cortisol stays elevated, and your body will literally divert blood flow and nutrients away from things like your gut and reproductive organs. Over time, this can contribute to things like estrogen dominance, low progesterone, poor bile flow, histamine issues, mineral imbalances, pelvic floor tension, and even fertility struggles.

We talk about:

  • Why most stress tools don’t actually solve the problem
  • The difference between minimizing stress and metabolizing stress
  • What fight-or-flight really does to your hormones and digestion
  • The three biggest reasons women stay stuck in stress patterns
  • Fear, faith, and making decisions from safety instead of survival
  • The problem with doing “all the protocols” but still feeling stuck
  • What it actually means to close the stress loop
  • The steps of metabolizing stress: trigger, immobilization, action, expression, resolution, and safety
  • How movement, crying, prayer, breathing, and nourishment help complete the stress cycle
  • The masculine and feminine parallel in stress and healing

59. Before Your Next Fertility Cycle (LISTEN to THIS) | IVF, IUI, Implantation & the Fertility Environment30 mars 202600:49:22

If you feel stuck repeating fertility cycles or constantly trying the next step, sometimes the most helpful thing you can do is pause and look deeper at the environment behind fertility, not just the next procedure.

In this episode of Hormone Happy Hour, I’m talking to the women who feel like they’re stuck in a cycle of trying, testing, and moving from one fertility step to the next without stepping back to ask what might be underneath it all. Many approaches focus on egg quality, sperm quality, toxins, parasites, and supplements, but sometimes we need to look at the deeper “axle” behind fertility, not just the visible pieces. This conversation is about stepping back, reducing pressure, and supporting the body at a deeper level.

In this episode, I talk about:

  • Why some women feel stuck repeating fertility cycles
  • The Ferris wheel analogy and focusing on the “axle,” not just the “seats”
  • What IUI and IVF actually do and their typical success rates
  • Why implantation still depends on the uterine and vaginal environment
  • The impact of always being in “doing” mode and not enough “receiving”
  • Masculine and feminine energy and relationship polarity during fertility
  • Functional labs like hair mineral testing and iron/copper balance
  • Why sometimes the most helpful step is a reset and rebuilding phase

58. What I’d Do Differently If I Started My Fertility Journey Today23 mars 202600:49:46

If I were starting my fertility journey today, I would approach it very differently and much more simply.

In this episode of Hormone Happy Hour, I’m sharing what I would do differently if I were starting my fertility and hormone healing journey right now. After years of walking this out personally and working with clients, I’ve seen what actually moves the needle and what tends to keep women stuck or spinning their wheels.

I also open up about some of the patterns I had to work through myself, especially around control, undernourishing my body, and missing key signals like libido and cycle health. This episode is about stepping back, simplifying the process, and focusing on the areas that truly create a supportive environment for fertility.

In this episode, I walk through:

  • The spiritual and nervous system roots that can impact fertility, including fear and control • Why masculine and feminine energy (and relationship alignment) matter more than we think • How libido can be an important signal of hormone health and fertility • The key labs I would run early, including a full iron and copper panel and hair mineral testing • Why mineral balance often needs attention before jumping into complex protocols • The impact of under-eating and why adequate nourishment is foundational for hormone production • Why male partners should be evaluated more thoroughly from the beginning • How to find practitioners who understand the full body while still applying a fertility lens

57. The Immune System Connection to Fertility16 mars 202600:49:16

For high-achieving women especially, fertility struggles can sometimes reflect an immune system that’s working overtime and a body that needs deeper support.

In this episode of Hormone Happy Hour, I’m digging into a conversation about fertility that I don’t hear talked about enough: the role of the immune system and mineral balance. Many women are told to focus only on hormones or jump straight into complicated gut protocols, but often the body needs a different kind of support first.

I’m also talking about something I see often with the women I work with high-achieving, high-output women whose bodies are dealing with chronic stress, inflammation, and immune overactivity. When the immune system is constantly on high alert, it can make it harder for the body to support implantation, hormone balance, and pregnancy.

In this episode, I walk through:

  • How the immune system and gut health influence fertility and hormone balance • Why high-achieving women often experience immune overactivation and inflammation • The role progesterone plays in helping calm the immune system • How pathogens, biofilms, toxins, and heavy metals can contribute to immune stress • Why iron, copper, and trace minerals are often an overlooked starting point • The connection between chronic inflammation, implantation challenges, and miscarriage risk • The emotional and spiritual side of fertility, including learning how to receive and release fear

56. Creating a Healing Environment & How to Set the Stage for Your Body’s Innate Wisdom09 mars 202600:46:11

In this episode of Hormone Happy Hour, we’re talking about something that often gets overlooked in health conversations: environment.

Many women feel stuck because they’re trying to reach a health goal while the environment around them (mentally, physically, emotionally, or spiritually) isn’t actually supportive of healing. In this episode, I walk through why the body needs safety and clarity before real change can happen, and how creating the right environment can shift the entire healing process.

We also talk about how belief, nervous system regulation, and supportive relationships all influence the body’s ability to move forward. Healing isn’t just about protocols or information, it’s about building the kind of environment where your body can actually respond.

In this episode, we cover:

  • Why people can feel stuck even when they’re “doing all the right things”
  • The importance of creating a supportive healing environment
  • How belief and mindset influence the healing process
  • Why safety in the nervous system allows the body to repair
  • The role of co-regulation with others and with God
  • How words, inputs, and daily influences shape your internal environment
  • An introduction to muscle testing and how it can help prioritize what the body needs first

This conversation is about stepping back and asking a bigger question: not just what you’re doing for your health, but the environment in which you’re doing it. When the body feels supported and safe, healing becomes much more accessible.

55. Is His Testosterone Low? Signs, Root Causes & What Actually Helps02 mars 202600:48:02

In this episode of Hormone Happy Hour, we’re talking about something that doesn’t get discussed enough: low testosterone in men. This conversation applies whether fertility is part of your story right now or not. Testosterone affects far more than sex drive. It influences motivation, mood, energy, confidence, and overall vitality. And while low T is becoming more common, the conversation around it is often overly simplified.

We walk through what low testosterone actually looks like, how it’s properly diagnosed, and why standard lab work can miss important pieces. I also explain why symptoms matter just as much as numbers and how patterns like high SHBG or elevated estrogen can affect free testosterone even when total testosterone looks “normal.”

Inside the episode, we cover:

  • Common symptoms of low testosterone (libido, performance, fatigue, low motivation, brain fog, mood changes)
  • How testosterone is diagnosed and why two morning labs are typically required
  • The three main physical patterns I see: low production, high SHBG, and estrogen dominance
  • Contributors like oxidative stress, gut dysfunction, iron/copper imbalance, liver overload, inflammation, visceral fat, chronic undereating, and long-term keto
  • Why jumping straight to testosterone replacement therapy can suppress fertility
  • Foundational root-cause strategies: sleep, circadian rhythm, light exposure, meal timing, minerals, gut support, and iron/copper regulation
  • Emotional and spiritual drivers tied to masculine identity, provision, protection, and pursuit
  • How relationship polarity and masculine/feminine dynamics influence libido and hormone health

Before replacing hormones, we have to ask: Is the body supported enough to produce them? If you’re navigating male factor fertility or noticing shifts in energy and drive, this episode will give you clarity on where to look first.

54. Unexplained or Delayed Fertility | Here’s Where to Actually Begin Building the Right Environment First23 févr. 202600:45:14

In this episode of Hormone Happy Hour, I’m sharing a little spring life update (hello strawberry festivals 🍓) and a final call for my 90-Day Hormone Reset before we dive into today’s real conversation: where I actually start when someone comes to me when experiencing unexplained or delayed fertility. We’re talking about building a truly supportive environment for hormones, not chasing symptoms.

In this episode, we cover:

  • What suboptimal fertility really means
  • How AMH is not fixed and why birth control recovery matters
  • The first tests I recommend in what order
  • Why iron, copper, and hair mineral testing matter for both partners
  • Copper’s role in implantation, egg quality, and hormone production
  • The three fertility “environment” pillars: alignment, abundance, and accuracy
  • Why fear can quietly block fertility physically and spiritually

This episode is about understanding and getting back to order by correcting foundations, restoring safety in the body, and creating the kind of environment where hormones can function the way they were designed to.

53. Things I Have (Shockingly) Changed My Mind About…Labs, GLP-1s, Vitamins, Detoxes/Parasite Cleanses, & More16 févr. 202600:54:00

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.

52. Postpartum Rebuilding, Not Just Recovery: What Your Body Actually Needs After Pregnancy (Even Years Later)09 févr. 202600:40:02

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.

51. Understanding Blood Sugar Regulation: A Whole-Body Look at Energy, Hormones, and Metabolic Support02 févr. 202600:51:49

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.

50. Following the Rhythms of the Seasons & How to Live in Alignment with the Earth to Support Your Body26 janv. 202600:50:24

In this episode of the Hormone Happy Hour podcast, I’m talking about something that quietly influences everything in our health: seasonal rhythms. This conversation about what it actually looks like to live in sync with the natural rhythms God designed our bodies to follow. From light exposure and sleep to food, minerals, and daily routines, so much of hormone balance comes back to alignment, not force.

We talk about circadian rhythms and why light matters more than we’ve been taught, how modern life pulls us out of sync with the earth, and what that means for hormone production, energy, and mood. This episode isn’t about doing life “perfectly” or moving off the grid. It’s about becoming more aware of the signals your body is giving you and making small, realistic shifts that bring more steadiness, safety, and support.

In this episode, we talk about:

  • Why your body thrives on rhythm, not constant stimulation
  • How light exposure influences hormones and circadian health
  • Simple ways to support your rhythm in the morning and evening
  • What eating seasonally and locally actually supports in the body
  • Why minerals matter more than we realize in modern life
  • The connection between iron, copper, and overall vitality
  • How honoring natural rhythms can be both practical and spiritual

If you’ve been feeling a little off, disconnected, or tired in ways that don’t make sense, this episode is an invitation to slow down and reconnect not by adding more, but by aligning more closely with what your body was designed to need.

49. Truth Bomb: You’re Not Eating Enough… Even If You Think You Are19 janv. 202600:35:18

Here’s the thing: many women are not eating enough to support their hormones, even when they’re eating “clean,” prioritizing protein, and taking all the right supplements. I see this constantly in client work, and I’ve lived it myself. If your body doesn’t have enough fuel, it can’t make hormones well, especially progesterone, no matter how hard you’re trying to do everything “right.”

This episode of The Hormone Happy Hour,  is all about understanding what enough actually means for your body, why under-eating is so common (and often unintentional), and how strategic, intentional increases in food can be one of the most supportive things you do for hormone balance. We also talk about reverse dieting, metabolic individuality, and why blanket calorie advice almost always misses the mark.

In this episode, I cover:

  • Why eating “clean” doesn’t always mean eating enough
  • How under-fueling quietly impacts progesterone, energy, mood, and libido
  • What reverse dieting really is and who it’s actually for
  • Why calorie needs are deeply individual (and not something to guess at)
  • How hair mineral testing and metabolic type guide smarter nutrition decisions
  • What I’m seeing in client results when nourishment becomes the priority

I also share details about an upcoming Full Reset program designed to help women rebuild hormone balance from the ground up with personalized nutrition strategies based on real data, not trends or restrictions. If this episode makes you pause and wonder whether your body has been running on less than it needs, let that curiosity stay with you.

48. Exercise, Hormones, and Healing: How to Know If Your Workouts Are Helping or Hurting12 janv. 202600:49:09

In this episode of The Hormone Happy Hour, I’m sharing how my relationship with exercise has completely shifted and why I think a lot of women are unintentionally working against their hormones in the name of “being healthy.” This conversation is especially for the woman who loves movement, wants to feel strong, and also wants her body to actually respond well instead of feeling more depleted, inflamed, or stuck.

We’re talking honestly about seasons of movement and how exercise needs to look different depending on where your hormones, nervous system, and metabolism actually are right now. I also walk through the connection between control, overtraining, under-fueling, and why so many women don’t realize how quickly that spiral can impact libido, mood, and overall hormone balance. This episode is about finding a rhythm that supports your body instead of constantly asking it to push harder.

In this episode, we cover:

  • Why I’m rethinking how exercise fits into hormone health in 2026
  • The difference between training from stress vs. training from support
  • How intense workouts can quietly work against healing (even when you “love the gym”)
  • The role of rest, nourishment, and minerals in sustainable fitness
  • How under-fueling and over-control often show up together
  • What it looks like to move through different fitness seasons without guilt
  • Why balancing masculine and feminine energy matters in how you train
  • Practical ways to assess whether your workouts are helping or hurting right now

If you’ve ever felt like exercise used to feel good, now just leaves you more tired, more rigid, or more disconnected from your body. This episode will help you reframe what support actually looks like. Healing doesn’t mean giving up movement. It means learning how to move with your body again.

47. 2026 Health Trends: AI, Peptides, GLP-1 Influencers, Lymphatic Drainage, and the Return to Whole-Body Healing with Leisha Drews05 janv. 202600:44:16

In this episode of Hormone Happy Hour, I’m back in conversation with Leisha Drews, and we’re doing something we both love which is zooming out and looking ahead.

As we wrap up another year of deep client work, personal experimentation, and real-life learning, we wanted to talk openly about the health trends we’re seeing emerge for 2026 — not from a hype or fear-based place, but from experience, discernment, and stewardship of the body.

We cover the growing role of AI in wellness, the increasing curiosity around peptides and microdosing, and why we’re seeing a strong return to simplicity, foundational health, and identity-based healing.

✨ In this episode, we talk about:

  • Why 2026 feels like a pivot year in health and wellness
  • How AI is being used (helpfully and unhelpfully) in health spaces
  • Where AI can support decision-making and where it can disconnect us from intuition
  • The rise of peptides and microdosing, and why discernment matters
  • Common misconceptions we’re seeing around “quick fixes”
  • Why minerals, metabolism, and nervous system regulation still matter most
  • The shift from goal-based healing to identity-based healing
  • How to approach new tools without abandoning the body’s wisdom

If you’ve been wondering how to approach the next wave of health trends without feeling overwhelmed or pulled in every direction, this episode will help you feel more grounded and confident in how to choose what’s right for you. As always, if you want personalized guidance, we share how to join upcoming workshops and consult sessions so you can apply these ideas in a way that actually fits your body and season.

Grab a cozy drink and listen in — this one feels like sitting in on a thoughtful end-of-year conversation you didn’t know you needed. 💛

46. Why Your Kids Are Dysregulated — and What Sex Has to Do With It29 déc. 202500:47:30

In this episode of Hormone Happy Hour, I’m connecting some dots that don’t get talked about nearly enough especially during the busy, overstimulating holiday season.

We’re talking about nervous system regulation… not just in you, but in your entire household. Because the truth is, your kids don’t regulate in isolation. They’re responding to the emotional, energetic, and relational environment around them and that includes you, your partner, and the level of safety and connection in your home.

I also share details about an upcoming January intimacy and nervous system–focused workshop, where we’ll go deeper into these themes with practical tools and support. Use code FAM50 for an exclusive discount!

I introduce what I call the “nervous system web” which is the idea that everyone in a family system is wired together. When one piece is dysregulated, it ripples outward. And when safety, connection, and regulation are restored at the adult level, kids often follow without needing to be “fixed.” 

✨ In this episode, we talk about:

  • Why kids’ behavior is often a mirror of adult nervous system states
  • What the “nervous system web” is and how it shows up in family life
  • How chronic stress and survival mode affect the entire household
  • The link between libido, safety, and regulation in women
  • Why intimacy is a nervous system issue — not just a relationship one
  • Masculine and feminine energy balance and how it impacts family dynamics
  • How restoring connection at the adult level can calm the home overall
  • Gentle, practical ways to support regulation in your body and your family

This isn’t about blame. It’s about awareness, compassion, and leadership, especially for women who carry so much of the emotional load in their homes. If your home feels tense… if your kids seem dysregulated… or if intimacy feels hard right now this episode will help you understand why and what actually supports lasting change.

45. What Actually Moved the Needle for Our Health in 2025 | A Year-in-Review Conversation with Leisha Drews22 déc. 202500:48:55

This week on Hormone Happy Hour, Leisha Drews (host of the Happily Hormonal Podcast) and I are sitting down for a real, reflective conversation — not as interviewer and guest, but as two women looking back on the year and sharing what truly made a difference for our health in 2025.

This episode is part reflection, part encouragement, and part “behind the scenes” of what it really looks like to tend to your health over a full year — especially when you’re leading, serving others, and navigating full lives.

✨ In this conversation, we reflect on:

  • The practices we kept coming back to that supported our health the most
  • How consistent prayer and spiritual grounding shaped our year
  • Why the words we speak (and believe) matter more than we realized
  • The ways our relationships with sex and money impacted our bodies
  • Community, support, and not doing health alone
  • Consistency over intensity when it comes to physical health
  • Self-image, subconscious patterns, and what we’re modeling for our kids
  • Gratitude for what the year taught us and what we’re carrying forward

This episode is for the woman who wants to pause before rushing into the next year… to reflect, take inventory, and move forward with more intention and alignment.

We hope this conversation helps you look back on your own year with honesty, grace, and clarity. And maybe even name a few things you want to keep, release, or deepen as you step into what’s next.

44. The 4 Biggest Mistakes I See in Hormone & Health Coaching Programs | Why You’re Not Seeing Results (And What Actually Needs to Change)15 déc. 202500:50:59

This week on Hormone Happy Hour, we start with a little real-life catch-up filling you in on upcoming workshops, new programs launching in January, and a few fun personal updates, but then we settle into what this episode is really about.

If your health journey has felt frustrating, confusing, or like you’ve tried everything without getting lasting results… I want this conversation to feel like a deep exhale.

In this episode, I break down the four most common mistakes I see in health coaching and hormone programs. I share why so many well-meaning programs miss the mark, what I now do differently with clients, and what you should be looking for so your next investment actually moves the needle.

✨ Here’s what we talk through together:

  • Why more labs don’t always equal better answers
  • The problem with trying to “fix the gut” before the body feels safe
  • How supplement overload creates more stress, not healing
  • Why mineral replenishment and foundational support matter first
  • The role progesterone plays in true, sustainable healing
  • How to spot programs that are built on simplicity instead of chaos
  • What I’ve learned after working with clients all year and what I’d do differently now

This episode is for the woman who’s tired of feeling like she’s doing something wrong… when really, she’s just been given the wrong framework. My hope is that you leave this conversation feeling clearer, more confident, and better equipped to choose support that actually aligns with your body and your season.

43. How to Have Better Sex When You Have Low Progesterone | Understanding the Physical, Emotional & Spiritual Roots of Low Libido08 déc. 202500:56:37

This week’s episode of Hormone Happy Hour is definitely a spicy one, we’re talking libido, intimacy, connection, and what’s actually going on when your sex drive feels low, inconsistent, or completely missing. I walk through the physical, emotional, mental, and spiritual pieces that make up a healthy libido. Everything from low progesterone and estrogen dominance to nervous system overload, mineral depletion, and the patterns that quietly shut down desire. We also explore how intimacy itself can play a healing role in your hormones and your nervous system (yes, God really designed this whole thing with purpose).

This is one of those episodes that will help you understand your body on a deeper level, breathe easier, and feel less alone in what you’re experiencing.

✨ Here’s what we unpack together:

  • Why low progesterone, estrogen activity, and adrenal patterns can change your desire
  • How your minerals and nervous system shape libido (more than you think)
  • Why stress + resentment quietly kill desire
  • The emotional and mental roots behind low libido
  • How intimacy can support hormone healing
  • The connection between gut health, energy, and desire
  • What Scripture reveals about fertility, intimacy, and connection
  • Masculine + feminine dynamics that affect desire
  • Practical steps for rebuilding libido in a way that feels supportive, not pressured

42. How Minerals & Failure Will Absolutely Change Your 202601 déc. 202500:42:11

This week on Hormone Happy Hour, I’m sharing a little post–Black Friday debrief (because whew… the online chaos was a lot), and why I’m more committed than ever to keeping this space peaceful, intentional, and supportive for you. 

Then we dive into something I’ve been thinking about deeply: how to actually prepare your body, mind, and spirit for the goals you want to pursue in the new year.

We talk about why clarity matters, what a “failure mindset” really means (not what you think!), and how imagination plays a very real role in your ability to follow through. I also share why capacity — emotional, physical, mineral, and spiritual — matters more than motivation when it comes to sustainable change.

✨ Inside this episode:

  • Why your goals need clarity, not pressure
  • How imagination and mindset shape your ability to follow through
  • The connection between minerals, energy, and sustainable habits
  • Simple ways to rebuild capacity so your goals don’t feel heavy
  • How to prepare your rhythms and routines before the new year hits

Whether your focus is weight loss, hormone support, fertility, or simply feeling more like yourself, this episode will help you enter the new year with more peace, more grounding, and way more alignment.

41. For the One Who Thought She’d Be Pregnant by Now… Encouragement for the Waiting Season24 nov. 202500:50:29

This week’s Hormone Happy Hour feels a little extra special, because this episode is to truly just encourage you.

If you’ve been praying for something — healing, fertility, clarity, peace — and it feels like it’s taking forever to show up… this episode is for you. Let’s talk about what it looks like to truly surrender, hold onto God’s promises, and break agreement with the belief that “delay” means “denied.”

✨ Here’s what we talk about in this episode:

  • Faith when things don’t go as planned (and how to stay anchored in hope)
  • How to surrender control while still stewarding your health and body well
  • The spiritual connection between money, fertility, and trust
  • Breaking agreements with delay and fear
  • Learning to wait with God, not just for what you’re praying for

This one’s filled with encouragement for your heart. Whether you’re in a waiting season, navigating disappointment, or just trying to find peace in what’s next? I hope you leave this conversation feeling seen, reminded of His promises, and ready to rest in His timing. 💛

40. Q&A “How Much Should I Be Eating?” | Understanding Your Body’s Season, Goals, and Metabolic Bank Account17 nov. 202500:46:06

In this week’s episode of Hormone Happy Hour, I’m answering a common question that so many of you have probably wondered: “How do I know how much I should be eating?”

I share what I call your “metabolic bank account” (and why trying to withdraw before you’ve deposited enough always backfires), plus how a hair mineral test can help you identify what your body’s truly asking for right now.

✨ Here’s what we cover in this episode:

  • Understanding the season your body is in and what it needs to thrive
  • How to eat differently for fertility, postpartum, and hormone support
  • Why “less” isn’t always better when it comes to food or exercise
  • How to build your metabolic bank account before focusing on fat loss or muscle gain
  • The role of minerals in supporting metabolism and energy
  • Encouraging client stories of hormone balance, pregnancy, and restoration

38. Reversing PCOS | Understanding the Metabolic Root & Reclaiming Hormone Balance03 nov. 202500:39:58

Hey friends! I’m recording this episode from the chilly Georgia mountains this week (yay for fuzzy socks, cozy drinks, and mountain air 🏔️☕️), and I’m diving into a topic that’s been a cornerstone of my business & client support through the years: PCOS.

In this episode, I’m breaking down what PCOS actually is, how metabolic dysfunction plays a huge role, and why balancing your insulin, inflammation, and stress levels can change everything. I’m also sharing my personal experiences and what I’ve learned from walking through this with my clients, because when you understand how your body works, you can finally stop fighting it and start partnering with it.

✨ Here’s what I’m sharing in this episode:

  • What PCOS is and metabolic dysfunction
  • How insulin resistance and inflammation throw off your hormones
  • Why supporting progesterone and blood sugar is key to long-term balance
  • The role your mindset (and abundance!) plays in your healing
  • How your body communicates what it needs 
  • Practical steps you can take right now 
  • Why I believe functional, faith-led healing creates lasting results 💛

This episode is here to remind you that PCOS is just your body asking for support. You were designed for balance, and I’ll show you how to start finding it again.

37. Iron-Copper Recycling Center: Why Your Energy, Hormones, & Fertility Depend on It27 oct. 202500:46:31

Fresh from a trip to New York, we’re diving into one of the most foundational topics in hormone health which is the Iron-Copper Recycling System.

If you’ve ever struggled with fatigue, hormone imbalance, fertility challenges, endometriosis, PCOS, or autoimmune issues, this episode is going to connect some major dots. We’re talking about how your body uses (and reuses) iron and copper, what happens when this process breaks down, and why restoring mineral balance can change everything — from your energy and mood to your stress response and fertility.

✨ Here’s what we explore together:

  • How your environment and energetic atmosphere affect your physical health
  • The Iron-Copper Recycling Center — and why it’s foundational for hormone balance
  • How mineral dysregulation can lead to symptoms like fatigue, PMS, and low progesterone
  • The connection between iron/copper imbalance and autoimmune conditions, PCOS, and endometriosis
  • The emotional + spiritual “stuckness” that can mirror iron overload or copper depletion
  • Practical steps to start supporting your mineral balance naturally

35. The Most Common Root Causes of Unexplained Fertility13 oct. 202500:55:17

Before we dive in, I’m sharing a quick personal update — yes, I finally completed a parasite cleanse! 🫣 It was eye-opening, humbling, and surprisingly freeing (in more ways than one!). But more than that, it reminded me how deeply physical, emotional, and spiritual healing are connected. That realization leads perfectly into today’s episode — because we’re tackling a topic I know so many have wrestled with: unexplained infertility.

This episode of The Hormone Happy Hour Podcast, is going to help you understand what’s really going on beneath the surface. I’m breaking down the most common hidden root causes I see in my clients, how they interact, and why true fertility restoration starts with stewardship — of your body, your emotions, and your faith.

✨ Here’s what we explore together:

  • The five hidden root causes of unexplained infertility
  • How structural and alignment issues can impact conception
  • The importance of understanding male factor and how to address it
  • Immune system overactivation, high histamine, and chronic inflammation
  • The link between gut health, parasites, and fertility outcomes
  • Iron and copper dysregulation and what it means for your hormones
  • The “Pyramid Approach” to restoring fertility — physically, emotionally, and spiritually
  • How to partner with God in creating alignment for conception and healing

My hope is that this conversation will give you a new framework: one that honors both the science and the spiritual design of your body.

34. Behind the Scenes of Our Lab Work: What Our HTMA & Full Monty Tests Revealed06 oct. 202500:49:16

This week I’m taking you behind the scenes into something I’ve never shared before — my husband’s and my own lab results. We sat down and there’s so much to unpack.

In this episode of Hormone Happy Hour, I’m walking you through what we found, how I interpret these results, and why minerals like copper, magnesium, potassium, and vitamin A are such game-changers for energy, hormones, and whole-body health. You’ll also hear where I see patterns show up again and again, plus the spiritual reminders God gave me through this process (because you know I don’t separate the physical from the faith piece 💛).

✨ Here’s what we dive into together:

  • A peek into my own and my husband’s iron + mineral results
  • How to start looking at labs without overwhelm (and what matters most)
  • The role of copper, magnesium, potassium, and vitamin A in supporting hormones
  • Why dysregulated iron is so common (and what to do about it)
  • When a parasite cleanse might be the “next layer” to consider
  • What lab work reveals about stress, rest, and nervous system capacity
  • The emotional + spiritual connections I noticed while reading our results

If you’ve ever felt unsure about what your labs really mean, or you’ve wanted to connect the dots between physical results and spiritual renewal, this episode will give you a front-row seat to how I approach it — with both strategy and surrender.
