Balancing your hormones doesn’t start with random supplements — it starts with testing at the right time and supporting the pathways your body already uses.

For cycling women, hormone testing should be done 10 days before your period, when progesterone is naturally at its peak. That’s how we get an accurate estrogen-to-progesterone ratio.

If estrogen is high, your detox pathways need support:
✨ more fiber (flax, psyllium, veggies)
✨ DIM or calcium D-glucarate
✨ daily bowel movements to prevent estrogen recirculation

If progesterone is low, you must support your stress system first:
✨ Ashwagandha
✨ Schisandra
✨ Then herbs like wild yam + vitex to support natural production

And here’s the part most women miss… even when you do everything right, hidden hormone disruptors in your environment can undo your progress.

In the next video, I’ll show you the top triggers to avoid.

Save this for your hormone healing journey. 💛

So many women struggle with symptoms that get brushed off as “normal”…
but are actually early warning signs from your hormones.

✨ Waking at 2–3 AM
✨ Anxiety only before your period
✨ Heavy clotting or painful periods
✨ Breast tenderness from peas, flax, soy, or even coffee
✨ Mid-cycle headaches, low libido, mood swings

These aren’t personality issues.
They’re communication signals from your hormones — especially estrogen and progesterone — telling you something is off balance.

The good news?
Balancing hormones isn’t complicated when you know what to focus on.

In my next video, I’ll show you exactly how to start supporting estrogen and progesterone naturally.

Save this for reference, and share with someone who needs to hear it. 💛

Ever have that moment at the end of the day when you realize…
you still haven’t gotten your steps in? 😅

So you jump up between emails, run to the staircase, and suddenly you’re doing “office cardio” like your life depends on it.

Movement doesn’t have to be perfect — it just has to happen.
Your body remembers every stair, every step, every tiny effort you make.

Here’s your reminder:
✨ Get up
✨ Move a little
✨ Your hormones, energy, and mood will thank you

Who else does this?? 😂👇

The most common hormone pattern I see in women? High estrogen + low progesterone.
And most women don’t realize how much this imbalance affects their daily life.

This pattern is called estrogen dominance, and it shows up in very predictable ways:
• heavy periods
• more cramping
• intense PMS
• breast tenderness
• mood changes
• fibroids + polyps

So why does this happen?
👉 Stress steals progesterone to make cortisol
👉 Statin medications lower cholesterol — the raw material for hormone production
👉 Xenoestrogens (plastics, fragrances, parabens, phthalates) mimic estrogen and overload the system

If this sounds familiar, you’re not alone — and it’s fixable.
In my next video, I’m breaking down the unusual symptoms women overlook.

Save this to reference later, and follow for part 3.

Progesterone is the hormone almost every woman wishes she had more of… but most don’t realize how important it truly is.

It’s the mother hormone, balancing estrogen, calming the nervous system, reducing PMS, easing mood swings, and supporting deep sleep.
When it’s low, everything feels harder: anxiety rises, sleep gets disrupted, breast tenderness increases, and estrogen starts to overpower the system.

And here’s the part most women never hear:
Testing progesterone at the wrong time gives misleading results.
To get an accurate reading (and the all-important progesterone-to-estrogen ratio), testing should be done about 10 days before your period.

In my next video, I’ll show you the most common hormone pattern I see, and what it means for your symptoms.
Follow along if you want to understand your hormones, not guess.

Why are B12 injections so much more effective than oral supplements?
Because they bypass every barrier that stops you from absorbing B12.

Most people struggle to absorb B12 due to:
• Low stomach acid
• Gut inflammation
• Stress
• Medications
• Intrinsic factor issues

A B12 injection goes directly into the bloodstream, giving your cells instant access to the active forms needed for:
• Mitochondrial energy
• Better focus
• Mood support
• Nerve repair
• Faster recovery from fatigue

That’s why people often feel a difference in minutes to hours, not weeks.

Save this if you’ve been taking B12 and still waiting to feel better.

High MCV or MCH on your labs is one of the biggest clues that your red blood cells aren’t forming correctly — and it’s often missed.

To build healthy RBCs, your body needs:
• Iron, folate & B6 for hemoglobin
• Copper & zinc to move iron into the cell
• Magnesium & riboflavin for ATP + bone marrow energy
• Vitamin A to release stored iron so it can be used

When these nutrients are missing, red blood cells become large, immature, and poor at carrying oxygen — which is exactly what high MCV/MCH reflect.

What suppresses bone marrow?
• Excessive alcohol use or binge drinking
• Chronic viral infections
• Long-term inflammation + toxins

What disrupts RBC formation today?
• Simple nutrient deficiencies
• Glyphosate interfering with glycine (a building block of heme)

If you’re tired, foggy, or short of breath, this pattern is not just aging.
It’s a biochemical signal that deserves a deeper look.

Still exhausted even though you’re taking B12?
It might not be the B12 — it might be the missing partners.

B12 needs a team of nutrients to actually work:
• Magnesium for sleep + melatonin
• B6 for nerve repair
• B1, B2, B3 & folate for mitochondrial energy
• Zinc + selenium for detox pathways

When even one of these is low, B12 can’t do its job.
That’s why so many people take B12 and feel nothing.

Save this so you don’t waste another supplement.

Fast food lowers stomach acid because it:
- Provides no nutrients that stimulate acid
- Causes inflammation in the stomach
- Spikes stress hormones that shut down digestion
- Slows digestion with processed fats
- Damages the microbiome needed for acid regulation
Low stomach acid → poor B12 absorption → fatigue, brain fog, and nutrient deficiencies.

12/17/2025

Up to 20–40% of adults are low in B12… and most have no idea.
Stress, aging, gut inflammation, and even glyphosate exposure all reduce your ability to absorb B12—even if you’re eating the right foods.

Yes, B12 is found in meat, fish, eggs, algae, beans, and fermented foods…
but if your stomach acid is low, you won’t absorb it well.
(One quick trick: a little apple cider vinegar with meals can help.)

The best B12 forms your body actually uses:
• Methylcobalamin
• Adenosylcobalamin
• Hydroxocobalamin
❌ Avoid cyanocobalamin—it’s synthetic and poorly utilized.

Who benefits most from B12 injections?
• High or high-normal MCV/MCH
• Severe fatigue
• Neuropathy
• Anyone who needs rapid energy recovery

Want to know the best form and dose for your body?
Comment TEST and I’ll send the options.

Your B12 test can look “normal”… and you can still be deficient.

Most standard blood tests measure total B12, including forms your body cannot use, which is why so many people are told everything looks fine while their cells are actually starving.

The most accurate ways to test B12 status are:
• Urine MMA (methylmalonic acid)
• Intracellular nutrient testing (this shows what’s actually inside your cells)

Symptoms of low B12 often show up years before anemia does:
• Fatigue
• Brain fog
• Poor sleep
• Mood changes
• Tingling or numbness
• High MCV or MCH on labs

If you’ve been told your B12 is “normal” but still feel exhausted, there’s a better way to check.
