Sleep isn’t just rest—it’s when your body restores balance, rebuilds resilience, and resets your hormones. ✨

When you treat sleep like a luxury, your energy, mood, and cycle pay the price. When you treat it like the foundation, everything shifts.

💌 Last week in the Women’s Health Newsletter, we dove deeper into why sleep is one of the most powerful hormonal supports you already have access to.

✨ The most underrated hormone hack? Sleep.

We live in a world that glorifies hustle—produce more, create more, do more. But what about resting more?

Your body isn’t built to run on empty. Without deep, consistent sleep, your hormones can’t do their job. And when your hormones are off, everything feels harder.

This week in the Women’s Health Newsletter, I’m breaking down exactly why sleep is your free hormone therapy—and how to get more of it.

💬 Comment SLEEP below to be added to the newsletter so you don’t miss future women’s health secrets.

Do you feel like you’re getting enough sleep right now? Or is it the first thing you sacrifice?

Comment "QUIZ" and I'll send you Your Hormone Inventory Quiz!!

I created this for all the women I see day-in, day-out, asking about their hormones, their cortisol, insulin and what is going on with their cycle.

It can be frustrating to live in a body that doesn't feel like a home. You should feel good in your own skin, and oftentimes hormones can be the culprit needing to be balanced.

Start with this quiz, so you can see your baseline and move into action. There's a quiz for you if you are cycling, in perimenopause, menopause or curious about metabolic health.

Send this to a friend who needs some hormonal help!

Every day, women come into my office wondering what’s going on with their hormones.

That’s why I created this quiz—to give you a baseline, help you recognize your symptoms, and start taking action toward better hormonal health.

Awareness is the first step. Tracking is the next. Action comes after. 💪

Nature’s candy! 🍭

Who needs sugar when we have juicy, antioxidant rich berries!

I Iove to stock up in the summer so I can make jams and freeze for the winter months.

This little yellow flower 🌼 is St Johns Wort.

It captures the sunlight of summer and bottles it up for us to keep through the winter.

You may have heard of St Johns Wort as a seasonal depression remedy, but it’s so much more than that.

It has many properties, such as being a potent anti viral, nerve protector and anti inflammatory.

I have grown to love this medicine more and more over the years.

Have you seen St Johns Wort growing around you? Let me know in the comments!

Is HRT safe for everyone?

The honest answer: No. But that doesn’t mean there aren’t safe, effective options for most women—and alternatives when it’s not a fit.

This post closes out my 8-part series on hormone therapy in menopause. If you’re looking for real answers tailored to you, I’d love to see you in my next HRT webinar.

Some of the things I’ve been eating lately.

Lots of plants, lots of love and I whole lot of fibre.

Healthy eating can be overwhelming at times but when we break it down, nature has given us exactly what we need. I learned to cook by watching my mom and grandmothers in the kitchen and picking up bits and pieces from cooking with friends.

I think the key here is food and cooking are meant to be community based things. When we cook together, we get the opportunity to learn from each others cultures through the food itself but also through the stories of where they come from.

What are you cooking tonight? And who are you cooking with?

What are some signs your hormones may be out of sync?

Some hormones that can be affected in our bodies include:
- Thyroid hormones
- Stress hormones (cortisol, adrenaline)
- Blood sugar (insulin)
- S*x hormones (testosterone, estrogen, progesterone)
- Circadian hormones (melatonin)

It's important to do a full body assessment when it comes to hormone imbalances. When you aren't feeling "right" or you feel like something is "off", these are great places to start.

Schedule a consult with me if you are curious about exploring your hormone health.

Did you know that many household products contain endocrine disruptors?

Understanding aspects of your environment and how it affects your hormonal and overall health is imperative to healing.

Get rid of those scented candles! Opt for non scented candles and use essential oils to scent your home instead.
