If I had a scrapbook diary to share, this would be it. 📖✨
The pieces of my own journey — the habits, the food choices, the lifestyle shifts — that became the stronghold for optimizing bioidentical hormones.

If you’re a woman in late perimenopause (like I am), or already in menopause, and you feel your hormones still aren’t working the way you hoped… it may not be the hormones. It may be the foundation around them.

Yes, AI and tools like ChatGPT can give us information. But nothing replaces real conversations with real women who’ve been there — who’ve felt the symptoms, done the work, and found what actually helps. Nothing can beat real life experiences! ⭐️

That’s why I’m offering a free 30-minute consultation. Not with a chatbot. Not with a textbook. But with me — a practitioner who lives this journey too. 🌿

💌 If you’re ready for that conversation, message me today. Let’s build your foundation together. Send me a message and I’ll send you a link for a free consultation.

➡️ I often get messages from women asking:
💬 “Does HRT cause my bloating? Is it the reason my belly is getting bigger, I feel heavier, and I’m losing confidence in my body?”

These questions are so real — and I hear them from women in their 30s, 40s, 50s, even 60s.

👉 Here’s the truth- based on evidence and clinical experience:
Yes, bioidentical hormones like estradiol and progesterone can have side effects such as bloating. They can influence:
• Fluid retention (estrogen can cause water to be held in tissues)
• Gut balance & the estrobolome (estrogen–microbiome connection)
• Body composition (declining estradiol means more belly fat + less muscle mass)

But bloating and weight gain during perimenopause/menopause are rarely just one thing.
They’re also driven by:
☑️Natural increases in inflammation
☑️Greater insulin resistance
☑️High-carb eating patterns leading to water retention
☑️Muscle loss with age

This is why so many women struggle with “menobelly,” bloating, and stubborn weight gain.

💡The takeaway: HRT may play a role, but it’s only one piece of a much bigger picture.

📌 In my next post, I’ll share what you can actually do to reduce bloating and start feeling good again in your body. Stay tuned — you won’t want to miss it.

On this Women’s Equality Day (Aug 26), I’m reminded of how far we’ve come since the 19th Amendment in 1920 gave women the right to vote. And while this is a U.S. commemoration, I believe it belongs to all of us.

Because equality is not just about the right to be heard—
It’s about having agency over our bodies, our choices, and our health.

Here’s to better research, better access, and a future where every woman has the tools and respect she deserves. 🌸

👸🏻One thing I’ve learned in perimenopause is that our energy becomes sacred.
➡️We get more selective. More discerning.
➡️We don’t want to waste time, and we definitely don’t want to waste energy — because it’s not as endless as it once was.

⭐️At this stage, I look at health with so much more intention, thoughtfulness, and personal research. I want every choice I make for my body to count.

⏰Time is precious.
⚡️Energy is even more precious.

So when we commit to something, it has to be:
✨ In alignment with our body
✨ Respectful of our resources
✨ Supportive of our environment and season of life

➡️Because when we work against ourselves — forcing, resisting, pushing in the wrong direction — the journey becomes an uphill battle. And when the uphill becomes too steep, motivation fades.

🩵That’s why I believe in starting with the basics and moving in the right order — not jumping from one “miracle” to the next. No more running on the hamster wheel of frustration.

🛑We don’t need drugs that give us long-term side effects.
We don’t need to starve ourselves or compare our bodies to celebrities.
We don’t need quick fixes that pull us farther away from the natural way of living.

🙌🏽What we do need is to reconnect with the way our bodies were designed to thrive — in sync with nature, fueled by whole foods, supported by rest, movement, sunlight, and the right nourishment.

🦋When you work with your body, the results are more than physical.
They’re sustainable.
They’re empowering.
They’re yours. 🫶🏽

Anout 7 years ago, when the world felt upside down, Covid lockdown- we found ourselves “stuck” on one of the most beautiful islands in Asia — Boracay, Philippines. What was meant to be a stopover became years of sunsets, turquoise waters, barefoot walks, and deep inner work. 🌊✨

Looking back at these photos, I see a woman with stable hormones ( lol😛) high energy, regular cycles, and a vegetarian heart. That chapter shaped me in ways I could never have planned.

Now, in perimenopause, my body is changing — and so is my mind. This is why I tell my clients:
💛 Once in a while, take stock.
💛 Look back at the photos where you felt alive, vibrant, and beautiful. ( Not to feel bad , but to be proud of how far you’ve come)
💛 Remember the stories behind them.Both the beautiful and ugly

We rarely take pictures when we’re in the low moments, the puffy-eyed cries, the bloated belly days… but those joyful snapshots remind us of who we are beyond the changes in our bodies.

So this August, I invite you: share a photo from one of your golden chapters. Tell the story. Let it remind you how far you’ve come — and how much of her still lives in you. 🌸

Today I paused and asked myself, “What day is it again?” And as I looked back on the week, I felt this deep wave of gratitude wash over me—because somehow, every day this week carried the lightness and joy of a weekend.

Monday felt like a Friday.
Tuesday, like a carefree Saturday.
Wednesday, like a quiet, soulful Sunday.
And Thursday felt like Friday again.

It’s as if I’ve been living in a rhythm where every day holds the ease and spaciousness we usually reserve for the weekend. But this isn’t just about rest or doing less—it’s about something deeper.

It’s a balance.
It’s a quiet kind of discipline.

To reach this space, I’ve had to lean into routine—not in a rigid way, but in a way that holds me, anchors me. And inside that structure, I’ve found room for joy. I’ve learned to soften into the tasks, and somehow, what used to feel like “work” now feels like something I get to do.

There’s a sense of growth in this rhythm. A quiet joy in the discipline. And a deepening of trust in the small, consistent choices I make each day.

This week, life has felt spacious and purposeful. And I’m just so grateful to be here, living these beautiful moments as they unfold.

Great to be home🩵

Everything you see here might look “normal,” but they’re silent saboteurs.
White bread. Toast. Pizza. Salad dressings. Fruit juices. Energy drinks.

These ultra-processed refined carbs are loaded with hidden sugars, fillers, additives, carrageenan, seed oils, and high-fructose corn syrup.

➡️ They spike your glucose.
➡️ They elevate insulin.
➡️ They trigger fatigue, weight gain, hormone imbalance, and long-term metabolic damage.

Don’t be fooled. Even one here and there adds up daily.
📲 Screenshot this. Let it open your eyes.
The more aware you are, the stronger your choices become.

🩸❤️🌸
Humility is the foundation of true expertise.
Before becoming a practitioner who could guide others, I had to stumble, learn, and make mistakes. I still do—because growth doesn’t stop once you’re “experienced.” The real work is staying open, learning from every loss, and staying humble no matter how far you’ve come.

👩‍🦳But today isn’t about me.
It’s about the women I work with—women in different stages of life, navigating the complexities of their hormones, their cycles, their bodies, their emotions, and their identity. Women who choose to lean into healing, even when it’s hard.

🥳This post is a celebration.
🏆A celebration of quiet wins, deep breakthroughs, and the kind of transformation that happens when a woman chooses to believe in her body again. These messages—they’re not just kind words. They’re proof of resilience, trust, effort, and inner strength.

❤️❤️To every woman doing the work: I see you.
And I’m honored to walk alongside you.

‼️Hot flashes, anxiety, insomnia, mood swings… and no clear answers?
➡️Here’s what no one’s telling you:
✅Estrogen may not be the problem. Progesterone is often the first hormone to crash — long before estrogen truly declines.
And yet, everything you’re told to fix is “low estrogen.”

But what if we’ve been looking in the wrong direction?
Dr. Jerilynn Prior’s research shows that estrogen can be high and erratic in perimenopause — while progesterone is quietly disappearing.

If you’ve been googling symptoms, trying supplements, following every hormone expert online (including me!) — but still feeling stuck…

Let’s talk. I’m offering a completely free, no-pressure, 30-minute consultation.
Let’s get to the root of what’s really going on with your hormones — so you can finally start to feel like yourself again.

✍️DM me “PERIMENOPAUSE” to claim your free session.
You don’t have to do this alone.❤️

Your gut does more than just digest food—it controls your hormones, mood, and energy. But your everyday habits could be silently breaking it down. Those little snacks add up, just like stress everyday adds up. And did you know women are more prone to stress-related gut issues due to our hormone fluctuations. Chronic stress raises cortisol, leading to bloating, slow digestion, and leaky gut.

Antibiotics, birth control, and NSAIDs kill off beneficial gut bacteria, leading to dysbiosis. Many women don’t realize how this impacts their digestion, mood, and periods.

The most overlooked gut destroyer are pesticides and toxic chemicals —Glyphosate, pesticides, and heavy metals from food, water, and beauty products slowly degrade gut health. They accumulate, leading to inflammation and gut permeability.

By simply reducing or going all out and completely eliminating these from your life and body will do wonders for your health and mental wellbeing. ❤️☀️🌹
