Balancing Hormones Naturally

You're not weak. You're not lacking willpower. Your cravings are actually telling you something, and once you understand what they're saying, everything changes. If you've ever stood in your kitchen at 9pm unable to stop thinking about chocolate, this episode is for you.
In this episode:
  • Why sugar cravings have nothing to do with willpower and everything to do with what's happening inside your body.
  • The blood sugar roller coaster, what it actually looks like, why it keeps looping, and the sneaky foods that are spiking you without you realizing it.
  • Why your smoothie, your fruit snack, and your adrenal cocktail might be working against your blood sugar without you knowing.
  • The simple plate formula that will change how you feel if you actually do it accurately.
  • Why your cravings are completely different in your luteal phase than the rest of your month, and what progesterone has to do with it.
  • How cortisol spikes your blood sugar even when you haven't eaten anything, and why the 3pm crash and nighttime cravings are a stress response.
  • What your specific craving is actually telling you, if it's salt, think adrenals; if it's specifically chocolate, think magnesium.
  • Why parasites feed off serotonin at night and what to watch for if your cravings only show up after dark.
  • Why just cutting sugar doesn't work, and what actually does.
  • The craving reset: hormone plating, fixing your mineral base, and supporting your luteal phase.
  • Why HMA testing can show blood sugar imbalances before they ever show up on a standard blood test.
  • What emotional eating actually is at a biological level, and why it's not a character flaw.
Cravings aren't a weakness. They're clues. And once you know how to read them, you won't need willpower anymore.

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!
