💭Have you ever dreamt of what you’d like your health and life to be like?

💭What’s different from what you are experiencing now?

Part of coaching clients who have goals of hormone balance, who want to get out of the yo-yo diet cycle and are coming from a place of depletion and burnout is deciding what they want the destination to LOOK LIKE.

Going from point A (where you are now) to point B (where you WANT to be)…

Share a goal with me in the comments and I’ll suggest some ways to get there!

🏅If I had a medal for every time (insert free health advice here)…🏅

I stand behind each of these suggestions as a former adrenal fatigue sufferer.

If you’ve ever felt SO TIRED. Like you don’t have the energy for life and suddenly you don’t recognize yourself of your body - you might be in the same boat.

If you drag yourself out of bed in the morning and then can not get to sleep at night, your adrenals need support.

Did you know your adrenals are responsible for producing cortisol, your stress hormone?!

Tell me in the comments, which of these pieces of FREE advice do you need the most?

Double tap if you’re chronically bloated, gassy and worried about how your next meal will affect your gut.

If you’re a stressed woman there is a good chance your digestive system is on pause ⏸️

Try these simple digestion boosts:

✅Taking 4 slow breaths before you eat puts the body in a parasympathetic state aka rest and digest.
✅Liquids dilute precious stomach acid making it possible for large food particles to make it into your small intestine.
✅A short brisk walk after meals is not only great for moving food though the digestive tract but it’s excellent for blood sugar and insulin levels!

💬Tell me in the comments which foods do you avoid because of digestion?

Are you among the millions of women frustrated by the symptoms of low-thyroid!? 🙋🏻‍♀️

Do you feel feel tired and sluggish, unable to get a good night’s sleep and wondering where the vivacious bold version of you went?

If you’re confused about the “right” diet to support your hormones start with these three food-types:

1. Protein- has a thermic effect which means it uses more energy to absorb & takes longer to digest, this is why protein is satiating & reduces cravings, important in liver detoxification (a major root cause player in hormone imbalance!), preserves and builds muscle. Eat a variety of proteins for the most benefits: grass fed beef, chicken, eggs, dairy, broth,

2. Carbs - You need carbs to support healthy hormones. Choosing nutrient dense carbs like fruits, berries, potatoes, carrots and squash are great choices to balance your macros. Carbs support progesterone production and provide liver glycogen and are the body’s primary source of fuel.

3. Minerals - Include mineral rich foods that contain magnesium, calcium, sodium, potassium, selenium, chromium, iodine, zinc and iron. My favs are tropical fruits, seafood, meat, eggs, well cooked produce, coconut water, broth and high quality dairy. Minerals are the spark plugs that give your body energy! You also need them for digestion, blood sugar, hormones and stress resiliency! HTMA tests are a great way to know your current status - DM me HTMA for details.

Nutrition is an important PART of achieving hormone balance, supporting your thyroid and stepping into your bright energetic self.

✋ Hormone balance isn’t all about ESTROGEN & PROGESTERONE ✋

So many of the women I work with are struggling with imbalanced hormones because of one main culprit 👉

STRESS!!!

Over time your body becomes depleted from stress (physical, environmental, mental) and you start to experience hormone related symptoms related to breaking down.

Eventually you’re running on empty - that’s where your adrenals have crashed. Your cortisol is LOW and you’re struggling in many aspects of daily life.

👉 Save this post & check out the last slide for a list of high & low cortisol symptoms!

Give me a 💯 if you want MORE energy!

😩How many symptoms are you experiencing?

These common symptoms are associated with hormone imbalances like thyroid disorders, adrenal dysfunction, cortisol dysregulation, estrogen dominance, low-progesterone and others…

Mood swings - Are you irritable, anxious, depressed and living on the edge of exploding? These reactions are often caused by cortisol, blood sugar and low progesterone.

Fatigue - Are you tired all day, mid day crashes, do you struggle with energy levels? Low thyroid output and adrenal dysfunction can cause fatigue, low energy levels and poor sleep!

Weight Gain - Especially when around the abdomen can be linked to estrogen, cortisol and blood sugar!

Skin Changes - Acne, melasma and even wrinkles can be due to testosterone, estrogen, blood sugar and poor liver detoxification.

Hair Loss - Thinning hair is often associated with poor thyroid output and estrogen levels.

Poor Sleep - Hormonal imbalances can cause insomnia or difficulty falling or staying asleep. Check cortisol, blood sugar and consider neurotransmitter supports.

Hot flashes - Waking in the night drenched? Estrogen and blood sugar!

Cycle Changes - Usually due to the estrogen - progesterone relationship! Approaching menopause - might be time to consider supports!


Ladies, If you’ve been struggling with any of the above symptoms, consider working with me 1:1 to uncover the root of your hormone imbalances. I love using the HTMA test which gives a comprehensive overview of your cellular health. DM me HTMA if you want details!

🛑 DIETS DON’T WORK 🛑

If you’re reading this it’s probably because you’ve been on a diet and didn’t get the long term results you wanted.

My opinion is that you need to build awareness of your current NEEDS: nutrition, mineral status, hormone output, digestion, detoxification, sleep and stress - and then make small changes going in the right direction to obtain the health you want.

⚠️ Diets are not designed to support all of those processes!

Getting started is actually not that hard - SAVE the last slide for a brief list of foundational supports.

Are you currently doing all of them?!

I work with high-achieving women, the go-getters - who are exhausted from life and unhappy in their current health.

They’ve tried diets, supplement protocols and have been left disappointed and frustrated from the lack of support in the medical community and know that hormone balance doesn’t come from a magic pill.

I support women to understand the foods and nutrients they need to support a healthy metabolism, improve thyroid function and calm stressed adrenals.

If you’re interested in finding out your current mineral status DM me HTMA and I’ll send details for this amazing test!

If you know someone who can benefit from this post - please share it with them! 🙏

The last one is the hardest! 📵

I’m a firm believer in creating routines that work for you.

Incorporating each of these steps into your morning routine will set you up for a calmer and more present mood 🙏😌

What is a staple in your current morning routine?
