When was the last time you thought your period was speaking to you?

Which sign on slide 4 is your cycle currently showing? Let me know the number and I’ll share tips.

Your monthly bleed isn’t just an inconvenience — it’s a message.

Think of your period as your body’s report card — signaling when things are out of balance.

In this carousel, I break down:
✅ What “normal” often looks like
⚠️ Red flags you shouldn’t ignore
🧭 What those signals might mean
💡 What you can actually do to take action

It may be time to work with someone who knows how to shift diet and do testing to see exactly why your periods are asking for help.

How Stress Affects the Gut

1️⃣ You can’t heal your gut in a body that still feels unsafe.

2️⃣ If your gut healing keeps stalling… it might not be about food at all.

3️⃣ Your bloating might not just be from what you eat — it might be from what your body remembers.

Ever notice how your stomach tightens when you’re stressed?

That’s not random — that’s your gut-brain axis talking.

When we go through stress— big or small — the nervous system often gets stuck in survival mode.

Digestion slows.
Inflammation rises.
The microbiome shifts.

Over time, that can look like:
• Constant bloating or constipation
• Food sensitivities that seem to come out of nowhere
• Low energy, anxiety, or brain fog
• Hormonal chaos

💡 Here’s the connection most people miss:
You can take all the supplements and follow the perfect diet —
but if your body still feels unsafe, your gut won’t fully heal.

True healing happens when you support both:
🌿 The gut (microbiome, digestion, detox)
🧠 And the nervous system (safety, calm, regulation)

Start with safety first — slowing down your meals, deep breathing before you eat, gentle walks after.
Your body needs to feel that it’s okay to digest again.

💬 Do you notice your gut flares up when you’re stressed?

💬 “Drop a 💛 if your gut healing journey has been more emotional than you expected.”

It may be a low cooper issue……Signs copper might be part of the issue
• Low ferritin that doesn’t rise with iron
• Fatigue or exercise intolerance
• Pale skin or low body temperature
• Dizziness, lightheadedness, or low blood pressure
• Poor iron tolerance (iron supplements make you feel worse)
• Low ceruloplasmin or plasma copper on labs. Comment IRON and I will send over my free Ferritin guide!

I used to scrub, peel, and cry over my skin, wondering why nothing worked. When I finally stopped treating my acne like a surface issue and started looking at my gut health, hormones, inflammation and nutrition or lack there of- that is when I saw change! When working with my acne clients, we will dive into each of these areas and clear up your acne for good!

You’re eating red meat. You’re taking iron. You’re even adding vitamin C.

But your ferritin still won’t move. 😩

Here’s what most people (and even some practitioners) miss:

👉 A sneaky stomach bacteria called H. pylori can block your ability to absorb iron.

It lowers stomach acid, irritates your gut, and makes your body “lock away” iron instead of using it.

The result?
Chronic fatigue, hair loss, and that “I’ve tried everything” frustration.

The good news? Once it’s addressed and your gut heals, ferritin can finally rise — naturally.

If you have tried it all: cleaning your make-up brushes, washing your pillow case, removing dairy, trying random supplements you found online…… and none of that has worked, its time to dig deeper. With every single acne client we tested both hormones and the guy and either test or both showed why acnce was there to begin with. I don't stop there. We dive into diet and lifestyle and see there is anything extra that needs studying up. Testing is only part of the solution. We need to see why your gut or hormones are off.

If you’ve been reacting to everything lately — even your healthy foods — there’s a good chance histamine has something to do with it.

Histamine isn’t the enemy.
It’s your body’s messenger.
It helps you digest, fight infections, and regulate hormones.
But when your system is overloaded — from stress, gut issues, poor sleep, or even hormonal shifts — histamine builds up faster than your body can clear it.

That’s when the random symptoms start showing up:
🥴 Bloating or nausea after meals
😣 Itchy skin, flushing, or headaches
🧠 Anxiety or brain fog that comes out of nowhere
🌙 Sleep issues or feeling “wired but tired”

And here’s the part no one tells you — it’s rarely just one trigger.
Your histamine bucket fills from multiple sources:
🍷 Alcohol or leftovers
🧠 Stress
🌸 Estrogen shifts
🥦 Gut imbalances
💊 Certain meds or nutrient gaps

When the bucket’s full, even one small thing can spill it over.

Your body isn’t overreacting — it’s communicating.
It’s saying, “Hey, I need a little less chaos and a little more support.”

If this sounds way too familiar, your body’s probably waving the histamine flag too.

This test revealed that my client has both an active systemic candida infection and H. pylori. Most people have heard of candida, but H. pylori is a bacteria that burrows into the stomach lining, disrupting digestion and triggering a wide range of problems. In her case, it’s one of the main reasons her iron and ferritin are so depleted.

Because her gut’s immune defenses are essentially wiped out, we’ll need to move carefully—eradicating these infections in the correct order so we don’t cause more harm than good. This is why I always explain that simply taking more iron isn’t the solution. If the body isn’t in a place to absorb it, you’re only addressing the symptom, not the root cause.

It’s so important to work with someone who understands how to sequence and time protocols for pathogens like these. Doing it the right way allows the body to rebuild, restore balance, and actually begin absorbing nutrients again

✨ So many women in their early 20s come to me frustrated because they just can’t get rid of their acne.

They’ve tried it all:
➡️ Random supplements they found online (some of which actually worsen hormone balance)
➡️ Creams and topical treatments that only mask the problem
➡️ Probiotics they hoped would “fix” their gut

But here’s the truth 👉 acne is rarely solved with a quick fix.

This is why I use functional lab testing — to look deeper and uncover what’s really driving those breakouts. And almost every time, we find one (or both) of these root causes:

Gut imbalance — bacteria or inflammation fueling acne from the inside out

Hormone pathways — estrogen or androgens moving down harsher routes that trigger skin flare-ups

When we identify what’s actually happening inside, my clients finally see their skin clear — not just temporarily, but for good.

And we don’t stop at labs. We also address diet + lifestyle, because you can’t supplement your way into true health. 🌿

SHE HAD THE HORMONES OF A MENOPAUSAL WOMAN AT 22!!!!

We ran a comprehensive lab panel for my client — she was eating “healthy,” but not eating enough. Everything pointed to being malnourished.

Her results told the story:
🩸 Low iron + almost nonexistent ferritin
🩸 Poor iron transport
🩸 Hormones running down a harsh pathway causing acne

Women… we’ve been taught to diet, restrict, and shrink — but not to nourish. When we under-eat, every single system of the body suffers.

Instead we focused on:
🌱 Eating more — adding nutrient-dense, diverse foods and education about nutrition and how it relates to what our body needs to function.
🌱 Targeted supplementation based on her labs
🌱 Supporting her hormones with a plan tailored to her. I met her where she was at and in all her exhaustion. We are building capacity from there.

Two weeks later — even knowing it was early — she reported feeling a little better and, for the first time in months, enjoying her follicular phase. 🎉

This is why we celebrate every single win. Healing isn’t instant — but every small step is progress. 💛

We’re still digging deeper, making sure we’ve addressed the root causes, but this is the power of working with your body instead of against it.

➡️ Ladies, you deserve to feel vibrant, nourished, and at home in your body.
