Ever wondered how a nutritionist approaches their own hormone-healing journey? 

In part 2 of this updates episode I'm revealing:

• The labs that finally gave me some clarity about my persistent acne, hair loss, and intense pms.
• The protocols I'm putting myself through to address estrogen dominance, MTHFR and detox issues, hypothyroidism, and leaky gut.
• The simple diet shift that finally helped me turn a corner with symptoms that have stuck around through dozens of healing protocols.

I also shared the exciting news that starting in Jul...

Do you ever have those moments in life where it feels like everything - and I mean everything - is going through massive transformation and you’re just trying to keep pace with the momentum that’s building?

On the one hand you’re excited because it feels like you’re swiftly moving towards the life you envisioned for yourself, but also you’re trying not to drown in the intensity of all the change?

That’s what the last 3 months have looked like for me.

I’ve been more dialed in with my health than ever, finding answers that have evaded me fo...

Stop the presses! It’s confirmed!

Optimizing health looks different for men than it does for women (particularly hypothyroid women in their reproductive years). 😱

The very “hacks” that leave men feeling energized and lean - cold plunges and 16+ hour fasts come to mind - are actually detrimental for our far more sensitive hormonal systems.

So what should WE do if we want to biohack our way to healthier hormones and slower aging?

I sifted through all my lecture notes from The Health Optimization Summit where I got to see some of the wor...

Last week we started a deep dive conversation on the 5 root causes that drive Hashimoto's so you can be empowered to address them and significantly reduce - if not entirely demolish - stubborn symptoms.

3. Chronic Stress: The Silent Thyroid Killer

We often think of stress as a mental health issue, but stress has a direct biochemical impact on your thyroid—and it’s a HUGE factor in trigger...

 Before we get into today's episode, I'm stoked to announce that for once I'm actually ahead of the curve in getting my Black Friday deal out to you. Well... deals. 

I was trying to decide what sale would be most beneficial. Would 50% off one month of personal training be best? Or maybe 35% off a year long membership to The Club? Or what about giving a free GI map (AKA comprehensive gut panel) with the purchase of any nutrition program?

Instead of trying to read your mind, I decided to just ask. (Yay for cle...

Last week we started an important conversation about hormonal weight which inevitably sent us down a rabbit hole, talking about mistakes, misconceptions, and important nuances. 

We touched on the first hormone impacting your weight loss: cortisol. So I highly recommend you go back and take a listen since everyone is impacted by stress. Click here to do that now. 

If you're already caught up, you're ready to jump into today's episode where we're going through the rest of the core weight-management hormones: estrogen, testosterone, insulin, ...

When you see the laundry list of health benefits you can experience from a PEMF mat, you can't help but feel your inner skeptic peering around the corner to investigate. 

I myself have a strong bullshit radar and am extremely wary of wellness fads. But recently I was in a functional nutrition course run by a functional medicine practitioner who I highly respect, and when she mentioned that hypothyroid patients could benefit from the use of a PEMF mat, my ears perked up. 

Believe it or not, I immediately ordered one - ever the guinea pig b...

Last week I shared the first two steps of living a symptom-free life with Hashimoto's. These are the steps I parsed down from 2 decades of my own trial and error, literally hundreds of hours of research, time working with a number of functional medicine practitioners, over a decade of working 1:1 with clients, and expanding my knowledge with programs like Functional Diagnostic Nutrition, Gut Honest Truth Academy, Institute for Integrative Nutrition, and Functional Nutrition Alliance. 

I wish I had a shortcut when I was first diagnosed... th...

I remember sitting in my college apartment listening to a woman on a podcast talking about how she healed her Hashimoto's. 

It took her years, but she did it. 

It felt so daunting, so long, so out of reach to me. 

I literally couldn’t fathom a life without crippling fatigue, without embarrassing digestive issues. I couldn’t imagine going to the gym without worrying that it would cause a flare or being happy with what I saw in the mirror.  

I couldn’t imagine escaping this box that Hashimoto's kept me in. This box that kept me small, and ...
