💅🏼💄💋

i’ll go first: for a few years there, my foundation and contour were never quite blending together like they should have been…but since I switched up my skincare, i’m glowing and finally feel like me ✨

maybe yours feels like finally finding the most blend-able foundation that goes on like butter, or maybe it feels like jabbing yourself in the eye with a mascara wand ?? 🙈

✨💄 your turn — drop yours below👇

your hormones are responders.
they respond to your blood sugar.
they respond to your stress load.
they respond to how well you digest and absorb nutrients.

if those foundations aren’t stable, your hormones will keep “reacting” no matter how many supplements, protocols, or hormone-specific treatments you throw at them.

and that’s why so many women spin their wheels trying to “fix” hormones without first creating stability in the systems that drive them.

in my ABIDEwell foundations membership, i walk you through exactly what to work on, when, and how, meeting you right where you are in your health journey so you can stop guessing and start making progress that lasts.

We just broke this down in detail on our live ABIDEwell community call last night:

✔️ The 3 physiological stages of stress
✔️ What symptoms show up in each
✔️ Which supplements, lifestyle strategies and workouts help, and which ones backfire

Because most women are unknowingly stuck in stage 2 or 3...
still trying to fix their hormones with stage 1 strategies they saw on Instagram…(NOT EVERY WOMAN HAS “HIGH CORTISOL”!!)

That’s why you’re exhausted.
That’s why your period’s off.
That’s why the ashwagandha and the cold plunging aren’t fixing it.

👉 Your body isn’t broken.
You just haven’t been given a roadmap that starts in the right place.

ABIDEwell Foundations is where we change that.
Inside the membership, we walk through every layer of healing, step-by-step:

• Stress & sleep
• Digestion & minerals
• Blood sugar balance
• Hormones & cycle support
• Thyroid & metabolic health

You don’t need to do it all at once.
You just need to do it in the right order…and not alone.

Doors to the membership are open now!
Come join the women already inside who are taking these principles and implementing them and already seeing amazing changes!

you’ve been trying.
the podcasts, the supplements, the detox tools, the protocols your favorite influencer swears by.

it’s for the woman who’s done guessing and ready to finally understand what her body needs—and in what order.

and yes—you get me in there too inside the private app.

answering questions, helping you troubleshoot, and guiding you through the process…

like having a functional medicine practitioner in your back pocket 🫶

i started noticing a pattern with my 1:1 clients…

even with personalized protocols and support, they still had questions.

they needed more education, more space to revisit what we covered, and honestly—more community.

it wasn’t a flaw in 1:1 care.
it was a gap in how we carry what we learn into real life and the day to day of living it out.

and i realized if my own clients were feeling this way,
so many other women were too…
women who didn’t know where to start, felt overwhelmed trying to DIY,
or were craving a place to actually understand their bodies (not just patch symptoms).

that’s why i built the ABIDEwell foundations membership
→ it’s my proven method broken into bite-sized modules
→ rooted in my exact framework i use in private care
→ and designed to give you a roadmap you can come back to again and again—no matter what season you’re in

you’ll also get access to monthly live calls, our private community, resources, symptom trackers, and my custom labs + supplements at a discount.

this is meant to be your functional health hub to ask questions, get answers, and have the resources to implement right away—while being supported and encouraged along the way.

we cover blood sugar balancing, gut health, detox supports, functional labs vs. traditional labs, what a normal bowel movement looks like (yes ladies, this is important too!), how to track your cycle and what it tells you about your hormones, and more

🚪doors open JULY 7TH with founder’s pricing 🙌✨
comment WAITLIST and i’ll make sure you get early access when the doors open🧪

you can feel totally off… even when your labs seem to say “everything looks normal.”

these are some of the most overlooked markers I see on bloodwork — ones that can quietly signal thyroid dysfunction, hormone imbalance, detox issues, blood sugar swings, and even chronic inflammation.

the problem? most providers are just scanning for disease, not paying attention to what your body is trying to tell you based on early dysfunctional patterns…

this is exactly why I made the Read Your Own Labs guide — so you can understand your results and stop second-guessing how you feel!

this resource was designed specifically for women who keep getting told everything is normal, but don’t have the education in blood labs, or resources to feel like they can advocate more for themselves despite feeling like “this can’t be how I’m supposed to feel!”

if this is you, or you know someone that’s going through this…

before you assume your hormones are the problem,
we need to look at the systems that create hormonal balance in the first place:
blood sugar, mineral status, nervous system health, sleep, and the gut microbiome

because hormones don’t exist in a vacuum—
they respond to the environment inside your body.

this is why i don’t start immediately with hormone protocols in my practice,

i start with restoring rhythm

and when we do, hormones often correct themselves without needing extreme interventions, because they have stability in the foundations needed for hormonal balance

if you’re stuck on the hormone rollercoaster and tired of guessing—
book a discovery call at the link in bio and learn about my methodical approach that has helped hundreds of women find hormonal harmony 🫶

06/03/2025

many women find their menstrual symptoms disappear on hormonal birth control and are told it “balances their hormones” or “makes their body think it’s pregnant.”

but the reality is: your menstrual cycle is essentially just shut off on the pill

the pill increases synthetic estrogen and progestin to suppress communication between the HPAO-axis:
-hypothalamus
-pituitary gland
-adrenal glands
-ovaries

this prevents ovulation, but we NEED to ovulate to have optimal progesterone - a hormone crucial for female hormonal health

logically, shutting down this physiological process isn’t “balancing” anything

when hormonal birth control is removed, the same underlying issues remain because they were never truly addressed

this isn’t just about contraception,

HALF of women and teens on the pill are on it for a secondary reason, like acne, heavy periods, painful periods, etc. and they are rarely-if ever-educated on these side effects or how the the pill actually works when they go to their doctor for help and leave with what they think is a “hormone balancing” solution.

so if this is you, the first step in order to heal during and after birth control starts with understanding how it works and what it’s doing TO your body

and if you’re using the pill for contraception, know that there are other methods that are effective and support your body’s natural processes without interfering with your hormones (FAM is just as effective when performed correctly!)

ready to start understanding your cycle and supporting your hormones naturally? book a discovery call and learn how comprehensive functional testing, being truly listened to by a caring practitioner, and becoming empowered with knowledge about what’s going on with your body can transform your hormones and whole-body health 🫶

I’m sharing this simple protocol that you can literally implement in one day and start feeling the results from.

these are the exact tips I give to my clients who are struggling with blood sugar swings, elevated blood sugar, insulin resistance, low blood sugar, literally anything blood sugar-related, these principles work.

why is balanced blood sugar so important?
because blood sugar balance is foundational to everything.
it literally impacts your hormones, thyroid, adrenals, weight management, energy, mental clarity, and so much more.

when blood sugar is off, it can make or break your body’s ability to function properly—leading to symptoms like:

that 2pm energy crash
cravings and mood swings
feeling wired but exhausted at night
“hangry” or irritability when you haven’t eaten
brain fog and poor concentration
headaches, and more

the principles I’m sharing here may seem simple, but they are game-changers when it comes to stabilizing blood sugar, balancing hormones, and feeling like yourself again and finally getting off the rollercoaster 🎢

if you find this helpful, please share it with someone who’s stuck on the blood sugar rollercoaster and struggling with energy swings or hormone chaos…this could be the next step that changes everything for them! 🫶🎢

and if you’re ready to go beyond the basics and get expert-level support to balance your whole-body health and get a picture of YOUR blood sugar and how it may be impacting deeper issues, book a discovery call with me at the link in my bio.

there are a few things I wouldn’t try to scrimp and save money on by going with the absolute cheapest option…
and my health is one of them.

ladies, I know you’re not going to the cheapest hair stylist in town…you’re going to the best one that does what you’re looking for, so why is your health different?

over the past few months, I’ve had a couple of women circle back to me months (or even a year) after our first conversation with the same symptoms, still struggling, because they didn’t want to pay out of pocket and wanted to use a provider that took their insurance.

and I get it. insurance feels like it should cover everything and we pay a lot of money for it

but here’s the truth: trying to save money by waiting for a 3-minute in-network visit could cost you 6+ more months of feeling like crap…and still not even getting anywhere when you actually have the appointment 🫠

if you’re stuck in “insurance tunnel vision,” I say this with love:
there’s a cost to staying stuck, too.
the right support is worth it 🫶

if you are tired of getting the runaround, tired of the waitlists, prescriptions pushed on you with no testing or answers—book a discovery call, and let’s chat 💃🏻

Becoming a healthcare professional was the worst thing I ever did for my health.

Seriously, I am still recovering from chiropractic school 🙃

I did everything “right”—the clean food, the supplements, the routines.
But underneath it all, I was running on cortisol, perfectionism, and pressure and it didn’t work out very well for me 🫠

📢The hardest part of healing isn’t what you eat, how you change your diet, or what you cut out.

It’s confronting what’s constantly keeping your nervous system dysregulated:
The packed schedule.
The overfunctioning.
The never having boundaries around your schedule.
The pressure to keep it all together.
The never-ending to-do list.

This is why I am not a practitioner that just hands you a protocol and walks away.

I walk with you—through the mess, the stress, the resistance—because true healing starts when your nervous system stops living in survival mode.

Stress never fully goes away. It’s ALWAYS a part of life. Living with zero stress is not the point or the goal.

But we can change how it shows up in our life and body—and how much power you give it to run the show. 🫶
