Your HORMONE questions answered with real solutions provided during webinar.

❓ Is this fatigue just life, or is something wrong with my hormones?

❓ I’m eating clean and working out, why am I still gaining belly fat?

So many people fail on their diet and wellness programs and it’s not due to lack of knowledge … it’s due to this…

On the quiet days, you’re fine. You wake up, maybe a little tired, but you push through. You eat what you think is decent, you keep your body calm enough, and you convince yourself you’re on track.

😨But then life gets loud. Stress hits from every direction: work deadlines, family needs, financial worries, or even just one sleepless night.

Suddenly your body revolts. The headaches flare, the stomach bloats, the fatigue crashes over you, the moods swing out of control.

All that information you’ve collected about health, nutrition, and “wellness hacks” doesn’t tell you what to do in this moment.

This is where most people fail, not because they don’t know about health, but because they don’t know how to live it when the pressure is on.

✅ Here are the 10 most common situations where you get stuck:

1️⃣ You don’t know what to eat:
You may know sugar is bad or vegetables are good, but in a crisis you can’t answer: What exact meal should I eat today to support my body?

2️⃣ You don’t know which supplements to take:
Most people have a cabinet of half-used bottles, but no clarity on which are safe, effective, or even relevant for your current health needs.

3️⃣ You don’t know how to rest and recover:
Instead of real healing rest, you push through exhaustion or confuse downtime with true recovery.

4️⃣ You don’t know how to handle flare-ups:
When pain, bloating, migraines, or fatigue hit, you reach for random quick fixes that mask the problem instead of addressing the cause.

5️⃣ You don’t know which labs matter:
Either you over-test everything or avoid testing altogether, never getting the right data that would point you to a real solution.

6️⃣ You don’t know how to prioritize:
Trying to do it all at once, like detox, diet, fasting, and supplements, only leaves you burned out instead of focused on the first most important step.

7️⃣ You don’t know when to reach out for help:
You wait until symptoms are unbearable, bouncing between doctors and Google searches, never committing to a real plan.

8️⃣ You don’t know how to budget for health:
It’s easy to spend on daily comforts, but when your health crashes, you’re unprepared to invest where it truly matters.

9️⃣ You don’t know how to manage stress:
Stress isn’t just mental. It drives inflammation, hormone imbalance, and digestive breakdown, yet you don’t know the tools that reset your nervous system.

🔟 You don’t know how to stick with it:
You may try 21-day challenges or 90-day resets, but true change takes 9 to 12 months for your biochemistry to transform and stay permanent.

💫 This is why information alone will never save you.

✅ What you need is guidance, structure, and support, someone who knows how to walk you through these decisions step by step.

That’s exactly what I do. And it’s why so many women finally find results here after trying everything else.

💗Reach out if you’re ready to stop all this nonsense. You know how to find me.

You probably feel lousy because your definition of eating Clean is all wrong… And that explains a lot

😮Here’s the truth no one tells you:

…You’re not eating clean enough to heal.
Not for your gut.
Not for your hormones.
Not for your real root causes.

👉Here are 8 mistakes I see my patients make every day, and exactly what to do instead:

1. Going Gluten-Free…but Swapping Gluten for Gluten-Free Processed Foods

❌ Mistake: You’re still eating gluten-free cookies, muffins, pizza, or snacks.
-Why it’s a problem: Processed is processed. even if the label says “gluten-free.”

✅ Do this instead: Focus on whole foods: clean protein, greens, healthy fats, and root veggies.

2. You Went Gluten-Free… But Not Grain-Free

❌ Mistake: You’ve cut out gluten, but you’re still eating corn, oats, rice, quinoa, and gluten-free bread or crackers.
-Why it’s a problem: For many women, all grains (not just gluten) drive inflammation, spike blood sugar, and feed gut imbalances, especially in perimenopause and menopause.

✅ Do this instead: Remove all grains for 30 to 90 days. Focus on clean proteins, veggies, and healing fats to lower inflammation and reset your metabolism.

-

3. Eating Clean: But Not Consistently

❌ Mistake: You eat well “most of the time” but go off-plan on weekends or during travel.
-Why it’s a problem: Your body doesn’t reset every Monday. Inflammation builds.

✅ Do this instead: Commit to a healing window of 21 to 90 days with no breaks — then reassess.

-

4. Letting “Organic” Fool You

❌ Mistake: You’re eating organic granola, wine, chips, and snack bars.
-Why it’s a problem: Organic sugar is still sugar. Organic junk still inflames your gut.

✅ Do this instead: Choose real food. Organic is great, but only when it’s clean, simple, and whole.

-

5. Using Supplements/Probiotics to Cancel Out Poor Food Choices

❌ Mistake: You rely on supplements to “cover” weekend food slips or fatigue.
-Why it’s a problem: You can’t out-supplement a broken food foundation.

✅ Do this instead: Use supplements to enhance healing, not to justify damage.

-

6. Thinking You’re Eating Low-Carb… But You’re Not

❌ Mistake: You cut sugar and bread, but still eat fruit smoothies, oatmeal, “keto” bars, or sweetened shakes.
-Why it’s a problem: Your bad gut bacteria are still being fed. You must drop carbs below 75 grams per day to starve them out and reset the terrain.

✅ Do this instead: Track your carbs. Aim for 50–75g max, focusing on non-starchy vegetables, protein, and healthy fats.

-

7. Eating Out Too Often

❌ Mistake: You’re clean at home, but grab takeout or restaurant meals a few times a week.
-Why it’s a problem: You’re ingesting hidden seed oils, sugar, and chemicals your body has to detox.

✅ Do this instead: Prep 3 go-to meals you can rotate at home. Keep it simple, repeatable, and truly clean.

-

8. Believing “Mostly Clean” is Good Enough

❌ Mistake: You follow the 80/20 rule and think 20% “cheating” won’t hurt.
-Why it’s a problem: When your body is inflamed or imbalanced, that 20% is more than enough to sabotage healing.

✅ Do this instead: Go all-in on clean eating for a focused healing season. Flexibility comes later, but only after your foundation is strong.

⚜️ If you’re nodding your head right now, it’s not because you’re failing.

It’s because no one has ever shown you what it actually takes to heal.

But I can.

If you’re doing everything right and still gaining weight, here’s why…

You’re eating clean.
You’ve cut the sugar.
You’re loading up on good fats.
You’ve swapped in grass-fed protein, added in probiotics, even started bone broth and collagen.

And somehow…
💥 You’re more bloated
💥 Your weight is creeping up
💥 Your energy is crashing
💥 Your brain is sluggish
💥 Your pants are tighter — not looser

This isn’t about willpower.
It’s not about hormones.
It’s not even about your diet.

It’s about what that diet is landing in.

If you have LIBO — Large Intestine Bacterial Overgrowth — your colon bacteria are fermenting every clean meal you eat. And instead of healing, your gut becomes a factory of:

🔸 Inflammation
🔸 Water retention
🔸 Metabolic disruption
🔸 Blocked detox
🔸 Hormone backup

Your high-protein, low-carb, gut-healing plan?
It’s feeding the overgrowth.

And the more disciplined you get, the worse it gets.

LIBO often goes missed because:

• Standard tests don’t detect it
• It mimics thyroid and hormone problems
• And most “gut healing” routines make it worse

💗 If you suspect this is what’s sabotaging your results, DM me the word “LIBO” and we can talk more about how to know if this is what you have and what to look for.

You don’t need a new diet.
You need to handle the correct root cause.

All the HORMONE info I’ve posted here may be wrong. 😮

That sounds dramatic, but hear me out.

If you’ve been eating clean, cutting out sugar, gluten, maybe even dairy…

Taking probiotics, drinking bone broth, adding good fats…

Following all the “right” gut and hormone advice…

And STILL feel inflamed, puffy, foggy, or stuck…

There’s a reason.

⚠️ For many women, there’s a hidden root cause that most experts don’t even test for.

It’s called LIBO — Large Intestine Bacterial Overgrowth (aka colonic dysbiosis).

And it flips the rules upside down.

Because when LIBO is the real issue, most of the usual “healthy” advice doesn’t help, it worsens your symptoms.

Here’s why:

The colon is supposed to host bacteria at the end of the digestive line, not dominate the process. But when those bacteria overgrow, they ferment the food you eat and flood your system with toxic byproducts.

😮 They feed on:

• Protein
• Healthy fats (like avocado, coconut)
• Prebiotic fiber
• Fermented foods
• Even probiotics

The result?

🔸 Slowed metabolism
🔸 Increased inflammation
🔸 Hormone disruption
🔸 Detox blocks
🔸 Fatigue, bloating, and weight gain, even on “clean” diets

And here’s what makes it worse:

❌ LIBO is almost never diagnosed
❌ Most gut tests miss it entirely
❌ And SIBO protocols often backfire

If this sounds like you…
You don’t need more discipline.
You need a different map.

💗 Comment or DM me “LIBO” and I’ll help you understand:

✔️ What symptoms matter
✔️ What tests actually detect it
✔️ What to stop doing immediately
✔️ What steps to take to finally move forward

How much does my hormone program cost?

Whatever you want….
Think of it this way...
..if you were planning to add a new wing or addition to your home, you wouldn’t ask a contractor for a price before they looked at the foundation, the design, and the scope of your vision.

⚜️You’d expect a thoughtful consultation about the project, a clear understanding of your goals for the addition, and a custom plan with blue prints.

Your health deserves the same.

✅The truth is, I can create a hormone program that costs $50 or $5000.

It all depends on the level of insight you want, and the transformation you’re ready to achieve.

💫That’s why, before we talk numbers, I invite you to ask yourself these 10 questions:

1. How long have you been carrying the weight of fatigue, brain fog, or hormonal imbalance?

2. What has it already cost you in missed opportunities, strained relationships, or diminished presence?

3. How much time and money have you spent on trendy fixes that never lasted?

4. Do you want professional-grade supplements designed for absorption and results, or bargain bottles that collect dust in the cabinet?

5. How many advanced functional lab tests do you want to reveal the truth, vs how much guessing?

6. Do you want to correct the root cause, or mask symptoms with quick relief?

7. How much would your work, your family life, and your confidence elevate if your body felt balanced and strong again?

8. What would it mean to walk into a room clear, energized, and at ease in your own skin?

9. How much would it be worth to protect your health, and avoid years of decline and frustration ahead?

10. And most importantly, what is your wellness and vitality worth to you?

💗So when women ask, “What does your program cost?” the honest answer is: it depends entirely on you.

The program reflects your priorities, your commitment, and the future you want to build.

✨ To help you discover the right plan for you, I offer a complimentary 30-minute private assessment on Zoom — no cost, no pressure, no commitment. (Similar to the free consult you get from a contractor before agreeing to the work)

It’s simply a conversation to uncover where you are now, what’s been holding you back, and what it would take to build the blueprint for lasting results.

Let’s talk more!

Hormone balance is the key to women’s health at every stage of life. During perimenopause and menopause, shifting estrogen, progesterone, and cortisol often cause fatigue, brain fog, hot flashes, mood swings, weight gain, and sleep problems. Natural hormone balance focuses on root causes, supporting the thyroid, adrenal glands, liver, and gut...while using functional lab testing and professional-grade supplements. This holistic approach restores energy, metabolism, and emotional stability so women feel vibrant, youthful, and confident again.

💗HRT vs Natural… which one is right for YOU?

If you’re struggling through hot flashes, mood swings, exhaustion, or weight gain… you’ve probably been told you have two options:

👉 Take hormones (HRT)
👉 Or try a natural approach

Here’s the truth: it’s YOUR choice. 💕 No one else gets to decide what you put in your body, how you age, or how you heal.

✨ Let’s break it down together:

1. HRT replaces hormones, Natural helps your body make its own

2. HRT often works fast, Natural builds slow and steady strength

3. HRT stops when you stop, Natural keeps supporting you long-term

4. HRT can carry side effects, Natural has little to none

5. HRT focuses on symptoms, Natural focuses on the whole body

6. HRT relies on prescriptions, Natural builds independence

7. HRT is standardized, Natural is deeply personalized

8. HRT may slow aging on the surface, Natural nourishes at a cellular level

9. HRT can feel like a band-aid, Natural feels like true restoration

10. HRT = replacement, Natural = renewal

🌸 Here’s what I want you to know:

Some women feel safer on HRT. Some feel more empowered going natural. Some do both. And that’s okay.

The decision is yours to make, but make the one that feels right for you.

💞If your heart is telling you to go deeper, to find the root causes and truly restore balance, that’s where I come in. I’ve spent 30 years helping women walk through this exact season… and I’d love to walk with you too.

Comment below or send me a message if you’re curious about what a natural, root-cause approach could look like for you. You don’t have to do this alone.
