Are you doing all the “right” things but not seeing results? This is for you!

I’ll be going live today with pediatrician from . We’re having an open conversation about something that affects every child, whether people realize it or not: The impact of food on the gut, the brain, and overall health in kids and adolescents.

Dr. Hathaway and I are going to talk about what’s actually happening physiologically when kids eat certain foods, how that affects their gut and nervous system, and why food can play such a powerful role in development.

This will be a relaxed conversation, and we’ll also answer questions from anyone joining live.

If you have kids, work with kids, or simply care about building healthier futures for them, I’d love for you to join us.

Hot take: Not everyone over 45 needs more hormones. I used to do them. I don’t anymore. Once I addressed cortisol, thyroid signaling, liver detox, and my sleep architecture, I felt better off hormones than on them. So I stopped. Even discontinued thyroid.

Now my approach is supportive, not forceful.

Morning: – T-150 – Copper GHK-Cu peptide – Herbal Face Food Cream + Eye Cream (seriously next-level skin support)

Night: – Estriol serum – Light progesterone cream (neck area) – Optimag Neuro + NeuroCalm for deep, restorative sleep – Chaste tree for gentle progesterone support

No chaos, no overload and no 20-step protocol. Hormones are downstream messengers. If stress is high and detox is sluggish, adding more hormones can feel like pouring gasoline on a stressed-out system. Fix the foundation first!

Stop playing whack-a-mole with your symptoms. The Comprehensive Blueprint is where we stop chasing numbers that are “normal” and start asking better questions. Why is your thyroid dragging? Why is your glucose spiking? Why are you exhausted when your labs say you’re “fine”? We analyze 100+ functional biomarkers, not to label you, but to understand you. 
Metabolic patterns. Hormonal signals. Insulin dynamics. Nutrient reserves. Mitochondrial output. The stuff that actually runs your life. Then we build a strategy around your biology.

No more guessing. No more “wait and see.” No more being told everything looks fine when you don’t feel fine.
This is personalized science with purpose.

As a functional nutritionist, I get asked all the time why we run the tests we run. It’s not about guessing, it’s about getting real data so we can address the root cause, not just the symptoms. Watch me explain the why behind our testing

Most grateful today for my three loves who inspire, encourage and shower me with love every day. My forever valentines to them-
As many of you know today marks my 25 year “cancer free” anniversary.
Life took on new meaning after that and my journey has been one of health and healing ever since. My drive and inspiration to share my knowledge and passion for all things health was born out of my darkest moment. There are truly now words to express how lucky, grateful and blessed I am to be alive and well doing what I love to do. To share the most special moments with the people I love. To my friends and family who continue to shower me with their love I am grateful.

To my three loves- Jason, Lindsay and Ashley- no words will ever be able to describe my true and deep love for the three of you. You make life worth living and you inspire me every day to be the absolute best version of myself that I can be. You have ALL made me so proud and I am truly humbled by all that you have accomplished so far! Cheers to many many more joyous celebrations together !!

Most people who feel stuck are not lacking effort. They change their diet, try supplements, follow protocols, and stay consistent. And for a while, it helps. But then the symptoms return.

This happens because your body isn’t a collection of isolated parts. Your hormones, metabolism, nervous system, and inflammation are all connected. When the deeper stressors aren’t addressed, your body continues adapting to survive, even if that adaptation creates symptoms.

Lasting progress begins when you understand what is actually driving dysfunction beneath the surface. When you support your body as a system, it becomes more responsive, and progress finally holds.

This is why I created the Comprehensive Blueprint. It helps identify what your body actually needs so you can stop guessing and move forward with clarity. Comment “BLUEPRINT” or send me a message if you’re ready to take the next step.

We’ve been deep in hormone conversations all week between the podcast, the live, and now this. And this is the piece I really want you to hear.

When you look at a DUTCH test, you’re seeing estrogen, progesterone, testosterone and its metabolites, cortisol. But this is not about glancing at numbers and deciding what’s “low” or “high.” This is not a snapshot diagnosis.

The real value is in the interpretation. How do these hormones interact with each other in your body? Is progesterone off because stress is driving the system? Is testosterone low because cortisol is stealing resources, detox pathways are backed up, or estrogen is part of the picture? Same lab. Completely different story.

And yes, you can put this into AI. AI can read data and give touch points. What it can’t do is connect the dots inside your biology. Without context, without pattern recognition, without understanding physiology, you’re left with numbers and no meaning.

We go much deeper into this on the latest episode of The Rebel Nutritionist Podcast. Link is in the bio. Hormone testing is powerful but interpretation is everything.

Going LIVE today at 12 PM ET 🚨 We’re talking hormones, testing, and opening the floor for anything you’ve been wanting clarity on.

We’re back. After a full year hiatus, the Rebel Nutritionist Podcast is officially live again with an episode that sets the tone for what’s coming next. Hormones in Context: How to Interpret the DUTCH Test Without Guessing is for anyone who has been told their labs are “normal” while their body is clearly saying otherwise.

Because hormones don’t sit still for a photo. They fluctuate all day long, and when someone says everything looks fine, the real question is: normal for who? Averages don’t mean optimal, and numbers without context don’t explain symptoms.

In this episode, I break down why traditional hormone testing falls short, what the DUTCH test actually reveals, and why looking at metabolites, cortisol rhythm, detox pathways, and nutrient markers changes the entire conversation. This isn’t about collecting more data or chasing supplements. It’s about understanding how your body is using, clearing, and responding to hormones in real life. Data without interpretation is just noise, and healing doesn’t happen in isolation.

If you feel tired, wired, bloated, anxious, or stuck (and you’re done guessing) this episode is your starting point. The podcast is available on all major podcast platforms.
