4 Simple Solutions When Ovulation Is Delayed (Or Doesn’t Happen at All)01 Sep 202500:29:21

If you're sitting on day 30 of your cycle wondering why you haven't ovulated yet, this episode is for you. Ovulation is like a monthly report card for overall health. When it's delayed or missing, your body is missing out on progesterone, your "keep calm and carry on" hormone that stabilizes mood, improves sleep, and supports metabolism.

In this episode I'm sharing:

• Why stress (both obvious and hidden internal stress like food sensitivities) literally hijacks hormone production and delays ovulation

• The nutrient deficiencies that prevent ovulation (magnesium, B vitamins, & zinc) and why your "normal" labs might miss the real story

• How thyroid issues and PCOS mess with ovulation timing, even when doctors say you're fine

• Why that intense workout routine or restrictive diet sends your body into survival mode

• My exact approach to get ovulation back on track naturally

Remember: ovulation brings your period. No ovulation means no real period just withdrawal bleeds that fool you into thinking everything's fine. This episode will help you get to the root of why your body hits pause on ovulation and what you can do to get back on track.

The Surprising Link Between Sleep, Hormones, and Weight Loss23 Jun 202500:31:20

The connection between your sleep, your hormones, your mental health, and weight loss is intricate… and crucial to your well-being. 


Your sleep quality affects everything, from your cortisol levels to your gut health, your hunger hormones, and everything in between. 


And so, when you don’t sleep well, your whole body doesn’t feel well.


What can you do about this?


This is exactly the question I answer in this week’s episode of the Balancing Hormones Naturally podcast.


Listen in and learn how sleep (and lack of it) affects your hormones, what causes sleep disturbances during perimenopause and menopause, how stress impacts your sleep hygiene, the best tips to improve your sleep, and so much more.


Ready to get your sleep and hormones back on track?


Then run, don’t walk, and tune in now!

Episode 129: Biohacking on a Budget: Improve Your Health without Overspending25 Sep 202300:33:48

Let's bust the myth that optimizing your health is expensive! Sure, there are lots of supplements and tools that can help you — you know I love sharing about the products I use that have made a huge difference for my health! But let's get real for a sec: there's no magic biohacking pill that can replace optimizing your health foundations. You can't just throw money at fancy things that promise to make you lose weight or reduce stress and not make any lifestyle shifts.


We're going to talk about the non-negotiable foundations to optimizing your health that I help all my clients implement: blood sugar balance, sleep quality, stress management & digestion. So, if supplements and tools (like one of my favorites - an infrared sauna!) aren't in the budget right now, there are tons of things you can do for free to support your health!


In this episode you'll learn more about:

  • Importance of your health foundations
  • How & why to get started with blood sugar balance, sleep quality, stress management & digestion
  • How biohacking tools can enhance your wellness

Episode 121: Achieving Lasting Results on Your Healing Journey31 Jul 202300:32:16

These are the top things I would focus on if I had to start my health journey over again today! At the start of my health journey, after my fibroadenoma diagnosis, I dove head-first into this world and made a lot of big changes all at once. From balancing blood sugar to finding a community, here are the things I wish I'd done from the start and the things I want you all to know on your own healing journey.


In this episode, you'll learn more about:

  • Why balancing your blood sugar should be your top priority
  • The power of consistency over perfection
  • The importance of making gradual changes rather than attempting to change everything overnight to achieve lasting results
  • Why guidance and support from someone who has experience specific to your health condition is more helpful than following generalized advice

In this episode, we're talking with mushroom expert Brandi Garden, the co-founder of Eversio Wellness, a medicinal mushroom company! Brandi shares how mushrooms can boost your immune system, enhance brain health, zap away inflammation, and so much more.


Brandi Garden is a retired school teacher and the co-founder of Eversio Wellness. Eversio is a family-owned and operated Canadian mushroom wellness company with the mission to change lives through fungi. The fungi kingdom found Brandi after she “broke up” with a pharmaceutical she’d been prescribed for over a decade. She created Eversio with her husband and has become a passionate advocate for the daily use of medicinal mushrooms as natural preventative medicine. Her motto is, "MORE FUNGI, LESS PHARMA!"


In this episode you'll learn more about:

  • The benefits of functional medicinal mushrooms and their diverse uses.
  • Simple life hacks to incorporate mushrooms into daily routines without major lifestyle changes.
  • How to choose the right mushroom based on individual needs and health goals.

Episode 115: Somatic Therapy for Holistic Stress Management19 Jun 202300:53:20

We talk a lot about supplements, nutrition, and exercise to build a healthy lifestyle but one aspect that doesn't get enough attention is what we can do for our mental health. Our mental health is so intertwined with our physical health, but we often don't take the time to nurture it like we should. In this episode, I sit down with Brittany Lutren to talk about somatic tools for stress management and regulation.


Brittany is a holistic psychotherapist and founder of the Niyama Center in Michigan. Brittany specializes in CBT, DBT, EFT, EMDR, solution-focused, strength-based and mindfulness therapy. Her therapy practice aims to heal the mind and body all together through a combination of movement and therapy.


Healing is a journey and it takes time. Be loving and patient with yourself. Know that there's help out there for you and it may not be that first therapist, but there's somebody out there that will be the right match to help you. So take time. And if you need help, get the help. There are resources out there to help you and to support you in a non-judgmental way.


In this episode you'll learn more about:

  • Why stress and trauma are detrimental to your immune system and overall health
  • How heart tapping, EMDR, and other somatic practices can be used for stress management and healing
  • Why addressing past fears or traumas is necessary for healing and physical health in the present

Episode 113: Mineral Magic: HTMA Testing for Hormone Balance05 Jun 202300:26:13

I get asked every day if I can review someone's labs or run labs for them outside of my programs. I hear you! Labs can provide so much helpful information. But if you've listened to my other podcasts about labs, you know I'm a firm believer that true healing requires implementing healthy habits and lifestyle changes. This is why I won't run or review one-off labs outside of my programs.


Labs are only one piece of the puzzle, but one lab that I think we can all benefit from is an HTMA (hair mineral analysis). So I'm so excited to share with you that I've finally built a self-paced program based on HTMA testing that can help you get the labs AND the foundations you need to start your health journey!


In this episode you'll learn:

  • Why I don't do one-off labs outside of my programs
  • How labs can be used to provide support lifestyle changes
  • All about Mineral Magic my new program that includes HTMA testing and self-paced training modules

I've Tested Clean Beauty Brands So You Don’t Have to09 Jun 202500:51:14

Have you ever wondered if “clean” makeup is actually clean or just another marketing trick?

I’ve been there too and this episode is for every woman who’s tried to switch to cleaner makeup, only to be overwhelmed by ingredient lists, disappointed by performance, or just left wondering what’s actually safe.

This week, I’m walking you through my personal (and slightly chaotic) journey of testing a ton of clean beauty brands—from the fails to the holy grails. 

I’m not a makeup artist, just someone who really cares about what goes on my skin and how it actually wears throughout the day.

I’ll be sharing my honest reviews on brands like RMS Beauty, PiperBlue, Crunchi, Kosas, and so many more. 

You’ll hear which ones passed the ingredient test, which ones totally blew me away performance-wise, and which ones... well, didn’t make the cut.

We’re talking texture, blendability, wear time, and—because you know I care—fragrance, parabens, talc, and all the sneaky toxins I won’t touch.

So if you’ve ever stood in the beauty aisle thinking, ‘what do I even buy?’ this one’s for you.

Tune in now to learn more!


Key Takeaways: 

Introduction (00:00)

Why clean makeup is important (00:49)

My brand reviews (05:50)

How to Choose Clean Makeup Brands

Choosing safe and healthy makeup Is harder than it should be - let's simplify it! We all know that generic, drug-store makeup is full of toxins and things that are not good for our skin or for the world. But even makeup that is labeled as "clean", "organic", or "non-toxic" can have hidden chemicals that affect our health and hormones.

In this episode, you will learn more about:

  • Which chemicals to look out for and why
  • How even certified products can end up with forever chemicals (PFAS)
  • Great products that work well and are made with ethical and safe ingredients

Bands mentioned in this episode:

Chemicals & ingredients mentioned in this episode:

  • Phenoxythanol
  • Cyclopentasiloxane
  • Dioxins
  • Petroleum
  • Polybutene
  • MOSHS
  • Polyethylene:
  • Fragrance
  • Talc
  • Phthalate
  • Parabens
  • DEP
  • DBP
  • DEHP
  • Titanium Dioxide (you want it to be non-nano)

Entrusting Your Health to Ethical Companies

Join us with Jill Rowe to learn all about how she founded one of my favorite non-toxic companies, Rowe Casa Organics. We discuss how Rowe Casa got started, the importance (and difficulty!) of sourcing ethical and clean ingredients, and how the world gives you what you need to fulfill your purpose.

Jill Rowe is the founder and co-owner of Rowe Casa Organics, a company that strives to provide the best all-natural, and effective products to help others thrive and live healthier lifestyles.

Then in 2020, after being diagnosed with breast cancer while 8.5 months pregnant, Jill dove into research, driven to learn more and more about natural health, not only for her own health journey but to support and educate others as well.

In this episode, you will learn more about:

Episode 99: The Truth About Cutting Calories for Weight Loss27 Feb 202300:21:10

The Truth About Cutting Calories for Weight Loss

We’ve all been told that calorie deficit is what leads to weight loss. But it’s more complicated than just cutting your caloric intake. There’s so much more we can do outside of cutting calories. Before you start cutting calories, especially if you’ve already tried that, we can first address our metabolic issues - insulin intolerance, hypothyroidism, hormone balance, and nutrient deficiencies. All of these factors influence our body and how it processes energy, weight loss, and weight gain.

In this episode, we dive into the truth behind calorie deficits and what you can do to set yourself up for success when it comes to nutrition and weight loss.

In this episode, you will learn more about:

  • Overeating versus undernourishing
  • Blood sugar balance and why you have cravings while dieting
  • Important nutrients and minerals for metabolic balance

Episode 98: Overcoming PCOS Infertility with Dr. Angela Potter20 Feb 202300:44:20

Is your doctor talking with you about the importance of gut health for fertility? Or ordering a comprehensive look at your hormone and nutrient health through lab tests? Has your doctor personalized your PCOS treatment to the specific type of PCOS you have? Things like these could be what’s keeping you from getting pregnant and should be addressed.

Dr. Angela Potter is a functional medicine naturopathic doctor and leading expert in PCOS fertility. She is the creator of the PCOS Fertility Protocol that helps women with an individualized approach to overcoming infertility with PCOS.

As someone who struggled with a health issue where she was dismissed from her doctor, handed a pill, and told to come back if she needed anything more (spoiler alert, it didn’t work, and she didn’t go back), Dr. Potter chose another way that actually worked. She is dedicated to helping others understand their PCOS and learn to advocate for themselves with their doctors.

In this episode, you will learn more about:

  • PCOS diagnosis process
  • Four types of PCOS
  • How understanding your PCOS and cycle is the groundwork for fertility

Episode 97: Pregnancy Prep: Strengthening Your Pelvic Floor with Dr. Angie Mueller13 Feb 202301:08:37
Pregnancy Prep: Strengthening Your Pelvic Floor with Dr. Angie Mueller
The most marvelous thing about the human body is its ability to heal itself. As a physical therapist specializing in pelvic health and prenatal/postpartum training, Dr. Angie Mueller focuses her therapy on providing energy to remove obstacles to allow natural healing to occur.

After earning a bachelor's degree in health & science with a concentration in sports medicine from Colorado State University, Dr. Mueller went on to write her doctoral thesis on the effects of pregnancy and delivery on the pelvic floor muscles. After working with athletes, she created a women's health program for women needing surgical intervention for pelvic issues such as prolapse, incontinence, pelvic pain, and endometriosis.

This work introduced Dr. Mueller to Maya medicine, the work of Rosita Arvigo, and mentor, Cindy Aprosmonte, who taught Dr. Mueller about indigenous medicine. These new methodologies lead Dr. Mueller to incorporate abdominal massage and passive organ positioning into her physical therapy protocols.

Dr. Mueller has incorporated all of this incredible learning and training into her a powerful new protocol to treat women and men, athletes and non-athletes, with core, back, and pelvic health issues. The Core Recovery Method has helped Dr. Mueller's patients find complete resolution of their pelvic and core issues.

In this episode, you will learn more about:
Preparing your pelvic floor for pregnancy and delivery
Why you should strengthen whole muscle groups (instead of focusing only on Kegels)
The importance of breath practice and awareness for strength building and delivery

Don’t Get Tricked by the Latest Wellness Trends26 May 202500:25:10

Ladies, today, I’m here to… complain—or at least, say one thing: I’m tired of being told my salad is killing me; and I bet, so are you!

Health advice can be so overwhelming, especially with the vast amount of information available on the internet, coming from doctors, fitness influencers, wellness gurus, and everyone else in between. 

And what’s worse is that a lot of the advice we read often contradicts itself: eat meat, don’t eat meat, dairy is bad for you, dairy is good for you, oat milk is the way to go, oat milk will raise your blood sugar and give you diabetes, etc…

So it’s no surprise that we’re all so tired of keeping track of all the things we should and shouldn’t use or consume.

This is why, in this episode, I’ll be addressing the overload of conflicting health advice that leaves many of us confused and overwhelmed. From keto to carnivore to fearing vegetables for their oxalates, I will be unpacking how trends dominate the wellness space and distract us from sustainable, common-sense approaches to health.

If you've ever felt paralyzed by the contradictions in wellness advice, this episode is your permission slip to simplify.

Tune in now to learn more.


Key Takeaways: 

Introduction (00:00)

Navigating conflicting health advice (00:49)

Where to seek balance? (05:01)

How to avoid information overload (08:15)

Keep an eye for these red flags (17:31)

Episode 90: An Integrative Approach to Healing Endometriosis19 Dec 202201:06:49

In this episode, I'm interviewing Katie Edmonds, a Nutritional Therapist, Paleo Autoimmune Certified Coach, creator of the popular blog Heal Endo, and author of the 4-Week Endometriosis Diet Plan and Heal Endo: An Anti-inflammatory Approach to Healing from Endometriosis.

After putting her own endometriosis into remission, something she never knew was possible, Katie has developed education and offerings around a research-backed diet and lifestyle shown to help heal the chronic inflammation and immune dysfunction that those with endometriosis experience.

Through her books and blog, her work has impacted the lives of tens of thousands by informing a new way forward when living with a chronic disease like endo. Katie doesn’t believe getting an endo diagnosis should be the beginning of the end and believes there is truly a much better way to approach endometriosis, both in the doctor's office and at home.

In this episode, you will learn more about:

  • A holistic approach to healing endometriosis
  • How diet and lifestyle can help heal inflammation and immune dysfunction

P.S. The Hormone Reset Program is open for those on the waitlist! This is an 8-week group coaching program where you will learn how to make the necessary lifestyle and nutrition shifts to balance your hormones naturally and sustainably.
