Have you ever had that moment where your body feels "off," but you can't explain why?

The mood shifts, the stubborn bloating, the tired-but-wired nights… you brush it off, but somewhere inside you know there's more to the story.

I had one of those ah-ha moments recently — and honestly? I can't believe I missed it.
I literally wrote about the Estrobolome in my book Create the Vitality You Crave: Epigenetics 101 to Unlock Your Healing Power... yet I still missed that it all starts in the MOUTH with oral care.

We can take all the probiotics we want. We can eat fermented foods for our gut. But what about our oral microbiome?

Here's what woke me up: As a newlywed these past 4 months, I'd let my oil pulling habit slip. And guess what? I'm back at it — because I finally connected the dots between oral health and hormone balance in a way I hadn't before.

In my newest blog, I'm sharing this surprising connection that almost no one is talking about — the kind of subtle interplay inside your body that can influence your energy, mood, metabolism, and how "like yourself" you feel day to day.

It's something simple, often overlooked, and incredibly empowering once you understand it.

If you've been feeling not-quite-yourself lately, or sensing that something deeper is going on beneath the surface, this is absolutely worth reading.

I imagine, if you watch the news, that you are aware history was made this week! The FDA has removed the Black Box Warning from estrogen therapy — ending decades of fear, misinformation, and unnecessary suffering.

If you’ve been told hormones cause cancer, heart disease, or stroke, you’re not imagining it — that’s what the headlines said. But the truth is different. When used at the right time, with the right hormones, therapy protects your heart, brain, bones, and even your breasts.

This decision is more than a label change. It’s a chance to reclaim your health, energy, and confidence. Your hormones are powerful allies — and paying attention to them could transform your midlife experience.

What if breast health wasn’t rooted in fear — but in freedom?
For years, we’ve been taught to approach breast care with anxiety — waiting, worrying, scanning for what might go wrong.

But what if that same energy could be shifted from fear to trust?
The science of epigenetics tells us something powerful: our thoughts and emotions can actually influence how our genes express. In other words, what you focus on — fear or health — can shape your biology at the cellular level.

That’s why I choose to focus on breast health, not breast disease.

I ask myself: What helps my lymph flow freely? What keeps my hormones balanced? What supports my body’s natural rhythm and resilience?

For over 20 years, I’ve leaned into intuition over fear — nourishing my body, choosing thermography instead of radiation, and exploring innovative, gentle tools like the Auria and QT Imaging.
Because here’s the truth: your body is wise. Your intuition is a form of intelligence. And your energy is one of the most powerful tools for healing you have.

You don’t need to live in fear to care deeply for your health — you just need to start listening to your body’s quiet wisdom.

There is SO much confusion about hormones and breast health!

Much of it is the left over fallout of the Women’s Health Initiative (WHI) study that was halted in 2002.

Doctors and women still think that estrogen is bad for your breasts and causes cancer.

f you have been following me, your know that my focus is Breast HEALTH not Cancer! My blog this week shares the truth of what is real truth about how estrogens impact your breast health.

This is very important information that the Pink campaign and western medicine is NOT sharing about the root cause of Breast disease.

You have way more power than you think. And, that power starts with education!

Please read it and share with the women you love!!

It's important!!

I have taught for years that "your Physiology affects your Psychology"!!

Dr. Daniel Amen just said something from stage during the 10th annual biohacking conference that made me stand up and cheer:

"Mental Health should be renamed BRAIN HEALTH."

EXACTLY!

Because here's what most people don't realize: when you're dealing with anxiety, depression, brain fog, or memory issues, it's not "all in your head" in the way we've been told.

Your BRAIN is a physical organ that can be impacted by:

Hormonal imbalances
Gut microbiome dysfunction
Inflammation
Parasites
Mold mycotoxins
Nutritional deficiencies

When we address these ROOT CAUSES instead of just masking symptoms, real healing happens. This is the power of functional medicine—we don't just treat your mood, we optimize your BRAIN.

You're not broken. Your brain just needs support.

You don't need a Pill, you need to detox, hydrated, improve your nutrition, reduce stress, clean your air, etc.

If you have mood or "mental health" issues, reach out to a functional health provider and get support to heal your brain. Your brain will thank you!!

So will those that interact with you!!!

Oh how I wish that I had known…

That “something’s off” feeling? It’s real.

One day you’re powering through your day like usual — juggling work, family, and endless to-dos — and the next, you’re wide awake at 3 a.m., snapping at your partner, and wondering where your energy (and patience) went.

You tell yourself it’s just stress. Maybe it is. But what if it’s also something deeper — your body’s way of asking you to slow down, listen, and recalibrate?

In my newest blog, I’m breaking down how stress can show up in surprising ways — fatigue that doesn’t fade, sleep that feels anything but restful, moods that swing for no clear reason — and how to tell when it’s time to pause and reset. Because what feels like “just burnout” might actually be your body’s signal that it needs care, compassion, and breathing room.
We’ll talk about what modern stress really does to your energy, clarity, and sense of self — and the small, steady habits that can help you find your rhythm again.

If you’ve been feeling off lately — tired but wired, foggy but restless — this one’s for you.
The blog is out now. Click the link below to read more — and then tell me: how has stress been showing up for you lately?

I’d love to hear your story.

I was absolutely clueless about Perimenopause! Once I learned the symptoms and learned more, I realized that I had missed the symptoms and brushed them off for years. I don’t want you to go through this, too. �
Perimenopause shows up differently for every woman.

For some, it’s the frustrating weight gain that seems to appear overnight. For others, it’s the endless tossing and turning that leaves you exhausted no matter how early you go to bed. And then there are the unpredictable mood shifts or that stubborn brain fog that makes you feel like you’re not yourself.

None of this is “all in your head”—it’s your body navigating a powerful hormonal transition. And talking about it openly is the first step to finding support and solutions that truly help.

So let’s get real: which symptom has been the hardest for you—weight gain, sleep issues, mood changes, or brain fog?

Comment down below and let’s start a conversation that matters.

And, read my latest blog that shares important differences between Perimenopause and Menopause that you should be aware of.

That “in-between” stage no one really prepares you for is real. One day your period is late, the next you’re wide awake at 2 a.m. from night sweats, snapping at your partner, and wondering why your energy has disappeared. Is it perimenopause, or have you already stepped into menopause?

In my newest blog, I’m breaking down the signs, symptoms, and key differences—so you can stop guessing and start understanding what your body is telling you. From hot flashes and brain fog to long-term shifts in bone, heart, brain, and breast health, this guide is about clarity, confidence, and taking back control in midlife.

The blog is out now. Click the link in the link below to read more—and then tell me: which of these shifts have you noticed in your own body? ��I’d love to hear your story.��

For years, I thought something was wrong with me. When I got married at 40, I expected joy and connection—but instead, I found myself confused, in pain, and disconnected from my own body. No one had warned me I was in perimenopause. I wasn’t prepared for the shifts happening beneath the surface.

Back then, I thought I was there was something terrible wrong.. But what I’ve learned since—after decades of healing, hormone work, and listening deeply to my body—is this: I was never broken. My body was asking for support. Gently. Urgently. Intelligently.
Your symptoms aren’t failures. They’re signals. Fatigue, pain, mood changes, painful s*x, brain fog—these aren’t random or shameful. They are your body’s way of saying: “Pay attention. Care for me. Help me heal.”

And the best news? Healing is possible. Whether through rest, nourishment, boundaries, or evidence-based approaches like epigenetic rebalancing or BHRT, there is a path forward. You can feel whole, vibrant, and fully yourself again—at any age.
That’s why I wrote my latest book - Perimenopausal? Hormone Balance for. Younger Women. Because no woman should walk this journey without a map. Stay turned for more details on the release date.

Ok y'all, I need to rant for a minute.

I've been reading a fabulous book entitled "Rethinking Hypothyroidism" by Dr. Antonio Bianco.
I've know for years that Hypothyroidism is waaaaay more common in women - 5 - 8x more likely than their male counterpoints.

As I read this book and the light is again shone on the incredible disparity in women's health, I am sickened!!
The common, traditional, western medicine approach of treating with synthetic Thyroid medications (Synthroid) does NOT work for most!!!

Integrated solutions and bioidentical solutions do.
Dr. Amy Meyers is a world class leader in Hypothyroidism and has fabulous books and resources. She is the expert behind this petition to STOP the FDA from banning natural thyroid solutions.
I'm sharing to educate and sharing to invite others to sign, as well. We deserve to have the freedom to choose!!!! Medical
Sovereignty is our right!!!

He's to hormonal bliss, including Thyroid hormones!!!

Ask the FDA to allow the use of Desiccated Thyroid Medication
