Balancing Hormones Naturally

You can eat perfectly, take all the right supplements, and still feel like your hormones are a mess. If you’re not sleeping, nothing else is going to work the way it should. Here’s exactly why, and what to actually do about it.

In this episode:
  • Why sleep and hormones aren’t separate conversations, they’re the same conversation.

  • The cortisol and progesterone connection, why poor sleep steals from your keep calm carry on hormone and then makes sleep even harder.

  • How estrogen regulates REM sleep and why perimenopause, menopause, and postpartum hit so hard at night.

  • The hunger and fullness hormones that get completely thrown off when you don’t sleep well, and why you’re not weak for craving sugar 
    after a bad night.

  • Why your thyroid mineral gets depleted by stress and poor sleep, and how that loops back into weight.

  • The melatonin fact nobody talks about, most of it is made in your gut, not your brain.

  • Why you cannot out supplement a sleep problem.

  • The four hour window between dinner and sleep, why it matters and what to do if you’re always hungry before bed.

  • The screen habits that are wrecking your middle of the night sleep without you realizing it.

  • The iPhone red screen hack, blue light glasses, and the sticky red paper on the Kindle.

  • Why what you do in the morning is equally as important as what you do at night, and the two minute outdoor habit that resets your circadian rhythm.

  • The brain dump routine that gets everything out of your head so you stop lying awake with a mental to do list.

  • Leah’s full six minute nighttime habit stack, acupressure mat, legs up the wall, near infrared light, and a visualization exercise.

  • The foods that actually help your body produce melatonin, including tart cherry and pistachios.

  • The supplements worth considering for sleep, magnesium glycinate, reishi, valerian, and CBD.

You don’t have to spend a lot of money to sleep better. But you do have to stop skipping the basics.

Five years ago, I found out I had fibroadenomas (benign breast tumors), which 90% of the time return after surgical removal. I decided not to undergo the operation and instead found a way to heal the underlying cause. After years of extreme pain, irregular cycles, and ovarian cysts, I finally learned how to balance my hormones which healed my fibroadenomas and led me to regular, pain-free periods. 


I learned how to make lifestyle shifts, remove toxins from my environment, and give my body what it actually needs to function optimally and heal on a cellular level. After my experience, I became a Functional Diagnostic Nutritional® Practitioner so that I can empower women in their own holistic health journey.


Even if you’ve been told your labs are normal or that your symptoms aren’t a cause for concern - YOU are the expert of your body and your experience. You deserve to feel AMAZING, not just “normal”. I’m here to help you achieve optimal overall health through simple, straightforward lifestyle changes that you can start to implement today. 


Balancing Hormones Naturally isn’t just the name of the podcast, it’s the way forward to a happier, healthier life and I can’t wait to join you on the journey!
