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

New Blog Is Out!

This summer, everything feels beautifully full — from finalizing interviews and speaking engagements, to packing for the Indie Book Awards, to preparing to marry the love of my life in just a few weeks. It’s a season of joy, momentum, and celebration… but also one that calls for intentional margin.

I’ve learned (often the hard way) that even the best seasons can leave us breathless if we don’t protect space to pause. That’s why I’m practicing what I preach: slowing down, unplugging at sunset, and choosing peace over pressure — not because things are falling apart, but because they’re finally coming together.

This week on the blog, I’m sharing a heart-level reflection on this sacred, joy-filled season — and why I’m choosing to guard my energy, nourish my soul, and create quiet space in the middle of it all. I also included practical tools you can use to reclaim rest in your season too — whether you’re in the middle of a breakthrough, burnout, or somewhere in between.

You don’t have to wait for exhaustion to justify rest. You don’t have to reach burnout to rediscover your breath. Your healing, your peace, your margin — they matter now.

Click the link below to read this new post, and if it speaks to your soul, share it with someone who’s carrying a lot and needs the gentle reminder that they were not created to burn out — they were created to burn bright.

Sound familiar?

That “what is wrong with me?” moment when your doctor says everything’s fine—but your body’s clearly not on board? I SO get this. I went through this too.

You’re not imagining it. For many women, that confusion is the first clue that perimenopause has quietly begun—and that standard care isn’t cutting it.

This isn’t just about getting older. It’s about hormone shifts that affect your sleep, mood, libido, and energy. The kicker? Most doctors don’t even bring up your progesterone-to-estrogen ratio or suggest tests like the DUTCH. Instead, you might walk out with an antidepressant—or a dismissive “try to relax.” That’s not care. That’s a missed opportunity to support your health.

In my latest blog, I’m breaking down what your provider might be missing, why so many women get dismissed, and how you can advocate for the kind of care that actually helps. Because you’re not “just stressed.” You’re in a transition, and you deserve real answers.

Click the link in my bio to read the full blo, and let’s talk about it. Drop a comment or send me a DM—I’d love to hear your story. Which part resonated most with you? Are you navigating any of these perimenopausal shifts too?

The Hormone Wake-Up Call: How to Spot the Hidden Hormone Imbalances Wrecking Your Energy, Mood & Metabolism

05/22/2025

Last week I had the great priveledge of doing another book signing event. It was fabulous! I LOVED the curiosity and questions of the women who attended. ��

Their questions and comments reinforced my passion for educating women about perimenopause and hormone health!! You see, a few of them thought they were asymptomatic and had no hormonal symptoms, yet were shocked as I uncovered the truth for them.

��Unfortunatley their symptoms ignored. No one had connected the dots for them or checked their hormones. Intstead they were giving a “pill for their ill”.

��Is this medical gas lighting or just good ole’ ingorance? ��I share insights into this, even some causal factors, in my blog this week.

More importantly, I share how you can take your hormonal power back. �

Enjoy and share!

The Hormone Wake-Up Call: How to Spot the Hidden Hormone Imbalances Wrecking Your Energy, Mood & Metabolism

05/12/2025

Yup, 20 years ago, a couple of years after I had been certified in Functional (Medicine) Hormone health, I was sitting in an afternoon conference at the largest women’s hospital in ATL.

I sat next to an OB-GYN and of course we started chatting. We were sharing back and forth about the latest we’d learned in supporting healthy hormone balance for women.

Then he indeed said “Where on earth did you learn this? Not ONE of my OB-GYN colleagues get it!”

He then said “ and don’t bother taking the North American Menopause Society Certification exam. You’ll flunk it, as you know too much and it will be very counter intutive”.

I was fascinated!

More than twenty years later, my heart is STILL sickened by the stories that I hear of young women, in their 30’d for Heaven’s sakes!!!!

On Saturday I had the chance to attend an amazing women’s conference. I met a lot of great women who were interested in healing their hormone balance.

Two stand out - one was a 36 year old, who just had a hysterectomy for heavy bleeding. Instead of getting to the root cause - which is often Estrogen Dominance (ie. a LOT of toxic estrogens in the body) they just took out her part and sent her home.

The next was in her 30’s too. She had just completed chemo for Endometrial (uterine) cancer. Do you think they tested her hormones. NO!! But they told her she could NOT take estrogen.

Ah, her risk of Heart disease, breast disease (ie. cancer), brain disease (ie. Demential and Alzheimer's’) as well as bone disease (osteoporosis) will go THROUGH THE ROOF!!!

Theres’ SO Much more than your doctors are NOT telling you!!!

The Science They Don’t Teach Us

You’re doing your best. But you’re tired all the time.
Your sleep is off. You're anxious or angry for no reason.
You forget words mid-sentence. You feel less like yourself every day.

You are NOT crazy. You’re likely in perimenopause.

This is the hormone shift before menopause, and it can begin in your 30s or early 40s. It's real. It's normal. But no one teaches us how to navigate it

That ends now.

Yesterday I sent you an invite to my upcoming LIVE event all about perimenopause - BUT I noticed you haven’t grabbed a seat yet.

You might not know if menopause is even on your radar. OR you might feel like you’re way too far into menopause to make it worth it. So, you didn’t sign up.
I get it. How would you even know?

What I’ve found through helping hundreds of women is…your body is trying to tell you all the answers, but we don’t know what it’s saying.

To help with that…

Take my quick Hormone Quiz and see what your symptoms are trying to tell you.

Take the Quiz Now

Let’s start decoding what your body has been whispering.

Here’s to YOUR hormone balance and vitality!
When I first heard that perimenopause can start in your 30s, I was shocked.

Most of us think menopause hits at 50 and that's when it all begins. But for many women, the hormone roller coaster starts much earlier.

Estrogen and progesterone start shifting.
Cortisol rises.
Sleep suffers. Mood swings. Weight gain. Brain fog.

These aren't random. They're signals.

But our doctors often miss it.

In my upcoming event, I’ll break down exactly what’s happening inside your body and how to regain control.
The details:

Date - May 14th
Time- 11:00 MST

THE BREAKING POINT!

There was a day—at 42—when I felt like my body had just given up on me.

I was so tired I could barely function. No energy. No drive. My mind was foggy. My moods were unpredictable. And the pleasure of great s*x - gone.

I thought something was deeply wrong.

Turns out, there was. And it didn’t have to stay that way…(keep reading)

My hormones had crashed. I was in full-blown menopause—eventually diagnosed with premature ovarian failure. But no one had told me that this could happen in my early 40s. No one warned me that these were the signs.

That day was my wake-up call.

It’s the reason I’m so passionate about teaching other women what I wish I had known.

That’s why I created this LIVE event: - The Hormone Wake-Up Call: How to Spot the Hidden Hormone Imbalances Wrecking Your Energy, Mood & Metabolism

Join me LIVE while we talk about:

Secret #1: It’s Not You. It’s Your Hormones (and They’re Trying to Talk to You).

Secret #2: Google Can't Personalize Your Plan — But Your Lab Work Can.

Secret #3: “There IS a Map — and It Starts with Taking the Wheel.”

This is what I guide women through every day — and it works.

You are not alone. And you are absolutely not broken.

Here’s to YOUR hormone balance and vitality!
