Most people think testosterone is just a “male hormone” that affects libido. But for women, testosterone plays a big role in overall health and balance — and it’s really important.

In this video, I’m sharing three easy and natural ways to help your body make and balance testosterone — no meds needed.

Here’s what you’ll learn:

⚫️ Intermittent Fasting (8:16 Method): How timing your meals can help your hormones stay balanced and support testosterone production.

⚫️ Sleep: Why getting good, deep sleep is super important for your body to repair itself and make hormones like testosterone.

⚫️ Vitamin D: How this essential vitamin (that many people don’t get enough of) helps your body produce important hormones including testosterone.

If you’re experiencing brain fog, sluggish metabolism, or low libido — these natural methods could help restore balance and boost how you feel day to day.

Testosterone for Women?! Yes — and Here’s Why You Need It.

When you think of testosterone, you probably think of men and libido.But here’s the thing: testosterone plays an important role in women’s health too — and not just for sexual function (though that’s part of it).

In fact, low testosterone in women has been linked to symptoms like:
⚫️Mood changes and depression.
⚫️Brain fog and trouble focusing.
⚫️Weight gain and loss of muscle.
⚫️Low libido that other medications often can’t fix

In this video, I break down what most people get wrong about testosterone — and why this hormone is often overlooked in women’s health.

You’ll learn what testosterone actually does for women’s bodies, how to recognize the signs of low levels, and what low-dose therapy could mean for your energy, metabolism, and mental clarity.

Functional Medicine: Healing The Whole You

In this video, we explore why functional medicine is changing the way we think about health.
Functional medicine looks at your body as a connected system, understanding how problems in one area can affect other parts of your body.

Doctors in traditional medicine do great work, but often don’t have much time to focus on each person’s full story. Functional medicine fills that gap by digging deeper into the root causes behind your symptoms.

Take your gut, for example. Too much bad bacteria there can cause issues far beyond digestion. The good news? When you fix gut imbalances or calm inflammation in another area, you can start feeling better throughout your entire body.

Functional medicine understands that every person is different. It creates personalized plans to target the true causes of your health struggles — helping you get real, lasting results.

If you want to understand your body better and take control of your health, functional medicine might be the right path for you.

✨Your Body is Not Broken
Have you ever felt like your body is working against you

You’re constantly tired.
You’re gaining weight even though you’re eating healthy and working out.
You don’t feel like yourself — and you’re not sure why.

But here’s something most people don’t tell you:
Your body isn’t broken. It’s not betraying you.
It’s actually trying to help you.

All those symptoms — low energy, trouble sleeping, inflammation, mood swings — they’re not random.
They’re signals. Your body’s way of saying, “Hey, something’s not right.”

✨ Those signs are your body talking — not failing.
✨ Your body’s not the enemy — it’s on your side.
✨ Healing starts when you stop ignoring the signs and start asking WHY.

This is the work I love:
Helping women connect the dots between their hormones, energy, digestion, sleep, and mindset — so they can finally feel like themselves again.

Remember, your body is divinely designed and has a great capacity to heal.
It just needs the right kind of support.

If you’re feeling out of sync and ready to finally understand what your body is really telling you…

You don’t have to settle for feeling off. Your body is wise — and healing is absolutely possible. Be encouraged💛

Functional Medicine: Is It Right For You?

You’ve probably heard the term functional medicine — but what is it really about?

Functional medicine is an innovative, root-cause approach to health care.
Instead of just managing symptoms or handing out one-size-fits-all solutions, it looks deeper:Why is this happening in your body in the first place?

If you’re dealing with things like fatigue, hormone shifts, chronic inflammation, or gut issues — functional medicine helps connect the dots, so you can understand what’s driving your symptoms and how to truly support your body.

Check out this video, where I explain more.

🔍 What I Look for in a Multivitamin

A lot of us take a multivitamin thinking it’ll give us more energy, help our immune system, and make sure we’re not missing any nutrients.

That’s a smart move — but it only works if the multivitamin actually delivers on those goals.

Here’s the thing, many popular multis are filled with artificial colors, synthetic ingredients, or nutrients that aren’t easily absorbed — which means your body may not be getting the support you were hoping for.

Your multivitamin should be crafted with care and actually benefit your body in meaningful ways.

That’s why I created Ancestral Daily Multi — a clean, physician-formulated supplement made with high-quality, bioavailable nutrients your body can actually absorb and use.

Here’s what makes it different:
• No fillers, dyes, or hidden allergens
• Non-GMO, gluten-free, dairy-free, and vegetarian
• Supports energy, immune health, detox pathways, and hormone balance
• Nutrients in their most usable forms, built for real life — especially the stress, fatigue, and inflammation many women face in midlife and beyond

If you’ve been looking for a high-quality multivitamin that’s thoughtfully designed to support your body, this is your chance to try Ancestral Daily Multi for yourself.

While the stages of menopause (Pre, Peri, and Post) are completely natural, certain everyday habits can quietly make your symptoms worse.

I call them Menopause Pretenders — because they act like menopause triggers, even when your hormones aren’t fully to blame.

Some of the biggest pretenders include:
🍷 Alcohol before bed — it spikes blood sugar, disrupts sleep, and can trigger hot flashes.
🍭 Sugar — causes blood sugar crashes, mood swings, and can worsen energy dips.
⚡️ Chronic stress (which is more like a Menopause Stimulator) — throws off cortisol levels, making symptoms like anxiety, weight gain, and fatigue harder to manage.

In this video, I also touch on why getting the right amount of protein is essential to support muscle, metabolism, and hormone balance during menopausal stages — and how quality sleep remains one of the most powerful, underrated tools for recovery and hormonal health.

When you know what to watch for, you can start making simple shifts that lead to meaningful results.
Your hormones might be changing — but you have the ability to support your body, restore balance, and feel like yourself again.

Menopause isn’t something that happens overnight — it’s a natural journey your body goes through in stages.

And one of the most overlooked parts of that journey is perimenopause.

This is when hormones like progesterone start to rise and fall in unpredictable ways, which can lead to things like:
* restless sleep
* mood swings
* Anxiety
* brain fog
— symptoms a lot of women don’t realize are connected to their hormones.

Another important hormone is testosterone. Most people think it only matters for men, but women need it too.
Testosterone helps to support:
* Energy
* Libido
* Metabolism
* muscle strength
— and when it drops, it can lead to weight gain, low motivation, and feeling drained.

When hormones like progesterone, testosterone, and estrogen shift, it makes sense that your body might feel out of sync.
�The good news is, once you understand what’s happening, you can start making choices to help your body feel balanced again.

In this video, part 1 of the Perimenopause playbook mini-series, I’m sharing an excerpt of a recent livestream. I’ll break down the stages of menopause and give you the information most women never hear about — so you can feel empowered, supported, and prepared.

Your hormones might be changing, but you’re still in control. Let’s dive into your Perimenopause Playbook.

I know you started your multivitamin to support your energy, fill nutritional gaps and be healthy. 👍🏽

BUT…if you are buying your multi from the local grocery store, have you actually read the back of the label? 😱

Check out this video where I reveal some of the shocking ingredients and share a better alternative.

Here’s what you’ll often find when you flip that label over:
❌ Artificial dyes like Red 40, Yellow Lake 6, and Blue 2 — linked to inflammation and even cancer in some research
❌ Polyethylene glycol — a petroleum-based filler with zero nutritional value
❌ Soy, dairy, and gelatin from pork — common allergens or ingredients many people prefer to avoid
❌ Synthetic vitamins — often harder to absorb, and harder on your system

I believe supplements should work for you — not against you.
They should be clean, effective, and actually deliver the results they promise.

That belief is what led me to create Ancestral Daily Multi–a physician-formulated blend built to deliver what a multivitamin should:
✅ Non-GMO, gluten-free, dairy-free, and vegetarian
✅ Free of dyes, fillers, and hidden allergens
✅ Packed with bioavailable nutrients your body can actually absorb and use
✅Designed to support antioxidant and anti-inflammatory pathways for whole-body wellness

The gut plays a bigger role in your health than most people realize—and when that system breaks down, inflammation often follows.Leaky gut is one of the most overlooked triggers of inflammation.

The gut lining is incredibly thin—about the width of a sheet of paper. When that barrier becomes compromised, seemingly harmless particles (even from a carrot) can leak into the bloodstream and over-activate the immune system.

This immune response can lead to a wide range of symptoms that seem unrelated—but many cases of inflammation can actually be traced back to the gut.

If you have unexplained symptoms and you’re dealing with inflammation, your gut could be the missing link.
