✨ The sweetest part of my work ✨

One of my favorite things about adjusting newborns is just how gentle and beautifully responsive their little bodies are. 💛

A newborn adjustment isn’t a “crack” or forceful movement — it’s a soft, precise touch using no more pressure than you’d use to test the ripeness of a tomato. 🍅

And what’s amazing is how quickly their nervous systems respond. You can see the change happen right before your eyes — their little bellies begin to breathe deeper, their hands and feet soften, and sometimes there’s even a diaper blowout right there on the table 💨 (a sure sign of release!).

Parents often say things like:
🩵 “Wow, you can see it working!”
🤍 “They’re so relaxed now.”

Every baby’s body tells a story — of birth, of adaptation, of new beginnings — and it’s such an honor to help them unwind that tension so their tiny nervous systems can thrive from the very start. 🌿

✨ When “doing everything right” still isn’t working… ✨

I can’t tell you how many times I see women in my office (especially recently!) who are doing all the things. Doing exactly what they've been told is "healthy."
✅They’re working out hard and consistently.
✅Eating “super clean.”
✅Counting every macro.

…Yet the scale goes up.⬆️ The energy goes down.⬇️

And they start wondering what’s wrong with them, if they're crazy.

Here’s the truth 👉
When your adrenals are tired and your hormones are depleted, your body doesn’t feel safe.
It doesn’t care about fat loss — it’s in survival mode.

Cortisol, adrenaline, and sugar become your fuel source, and your body starts conserving energy and storing fat to protect you.

So more restriction, more cardio, and more stress just make things worse. Healing your metabolism starts with safety, nourishment, and restoration — not punishment.

💚 If this sounds familiar, it’s not because you’re lazy or undisciplined. Your body isn’t broken, and I promise you are NOT crazy — your body is begging you for rest and balance.

"I’m going to be honest… Halloween is not my favorite holiday. I’ve always loved the fun and creativity that comes with Halloween—the creative (not gory) costumes, the parties, the excitement of pumpkin patches, trail rides and corn mazes. But after walking through my own healing journey, I started to see the holiday through a different lens."

The idea of sending my kids door to door to collect bags of candy filled with dyes, preservatives, and chemicals didn’t sit right with me.

🌸Here’s something most women probably haven't heard:

✨ “Estrogen” isn’t actually a hormone.

When we talk about estrogen, we’re really talking about a family of hormones that all behave in similar ways.

🔑 The primary estrogens are:
🌷Estradiol (E2) – the most active & dominant in reproductive years
🌹Estrone (E1) – more dominant in peri/postmenopause
🪻Estriol (E3) – often higher in pregnancy and protective in nature

But your body doesn’t stop there. Estrogens are broken down into different metabolites—some protective, others more harmful. These pathways can influence hormone balance, cell growth, inflammation, and yes… even cancer risk.

⚠️ This is why a single lab value saying “your estrogen is fine” doesn’t give the full picture. To truly understand your breast and hormone health, it’s crucial to test:
✔️ All the estrogen types
✔️ Their metabolism
✔️ Their relationship to one another

💡 Awareness is more than a pink ribbon. Real prevention means understanding your body’s unique hormone landscape and restoration of normal function.

🤍 Perimenopause is not the time to beat your body into submission.

If your workouts are getting harder but your symptoms are getting worse — this might be why:

👀 In perimenopause, your adrenals step up to help carry the hormonal load as your ovaries begin to wind down. But if they’re already tapped out… (like this patient’s urine metabolized cortisol of 937 😳), things can unravel quickly.

What do most women do when symptoms flare?
➡️ Cut more calories
➡️ Do more cardio
➡️ Push harder

😬 But low cortisol means your body is already in “energy conservation” mode.
More restriction + more stress = deeper burnout.

🌿 What your body actually needs:
✅Stable blood sugar (not starvation)
✅Gentle movement and strength training (not endless cardio)
✅Restorative rhythms (not go-go-go)

Supporting your adrenals isn’t “giving up.”
It’s creating the environment your body needs to heal and thrive!

If this resonates, let’s talk! We can take a closer look at what’s really driving your symptoms — support your adrenals, balance your hormones, and help you feel like yourself again!!
