Balance hormones naturally, restore energy, and fix your periods even as a busy mama!
Have you found yourself searching online for natural hormone balance tips but come away feeling more confused and overwhelmed? Are you ready to have great energy again so you can stop reaching for caffeine just to make it through the day? Do you know deep down that something is off but keep getting told that “everything looks normal” on your lab results? Do pain free, PMS free periods sound like a DREAM?
Girl...I've been where you are and I can't WAIT to help you move forward.
In this podcast you’ll find…Simple & focused nutrition + lifestyle strategies to balance your hormones from the inside out, restore your energy, and actually focus on the root cause of your hormone imbalances rather than defaulting to band-aid solutions that don't work long term.
If you’re ready to feel confident in your body, understand exactly what your body needs, and see results like painless periods, stable moods all month long, and an increased libido, I’ll be sharing my tips & tricks to get you there - without restrictive diets, complicated meal & supplement plans, and definitely without hormonal birth control.
I’m Leisha Drews, RN, FDN-P, Holistic Hormone coach & mama of 3. I’ve been through my share of hormonal issues - irregular, painful periods, hormonal acne, and migraines. I learned how to heal & restore my own body and have come to believe that our bodies have an incredible ability to balance when they're given the right nourishment.
I’m on a mission to simplify hormone balance for mamas so you feel empowered + start to love your body again, because it’s working FOR you and YOU have the power to change not only your own health, but the health of your family for generations to come.

I’m bringing you my tried and true methods to feel good right now so you don’t have to wait till you’re done having babies, the kids are grown up or life slows down to be empowered and encouraged in your body and health.

E129: Birth Control Doesn't Balance Your Hormones - The BTS of How Birth Control Really Works & What You Can Do Instead
Have you been on hormonal birth control? I have and I know that it's so common to be on birth control for hormone issues, to prevent pregnancy, or kind of just because sometimes.
Today I'm diving into the true BTS of hormonal birth control. How does it really work in your brain and body? Did you know it can affect things like who you choose as a mate, how you learn, and even your mood and personality?
I love this quote from the book "This is Your Brain on Birth Control" that says "Changing women's hormones changes women."
I couldn't agree more and that's why I'm here - to help you change your hormones for the better so you can thrive.

E127: How Chronic Hormone Issues Become Chronic Disease | DAY 4 of The Hormone Real Talk Bootcamp
It’s day 4, the final day of the Hormone Real Talk Bootcamp, and I’m bringing you a little recap of the bootcamp alongside a deep dive into how hormone imbalances can lead to long-term chronic diseases – and how we can prevent that from happening.
We covered several key hormone imbalances and their links to some very common chronic diseases. My goal was to stress the importance of addressing underlying causes rather than just masking symptoms for long-term health.
Tune in for the key topics discussed and practical steps you can take to support your long-term hormone health and prevent future issues.
In this episode:
[01:51] How my experience as an RN caused me to advocate for addressing root causes instead of covering up symptoms with medication[03:56] Chronic symptoms caused by hormone imbalance that might turn into chronic disease later in life[15:29] What you can do about chronic symptoms you’re experiencing now

E126: Why PMS is NOT Just a Mind Thing | DAY 3 of The Hormone Real Talk Bootcamp
It’s day 3 of the Hormone Real Talk Bootcamp and today I dove into some of the most causes of PMS symptoms – like estrogen dominance – as well as less common conditions such as changes in the GABA response in the body due to progesterone.
Rather than just masking symptoms, my holistic approach focuses on addressing the underlying imbalances through nourishment and lifestyle choices and that’s what we talk about in the second half of this episode.
Tomorrow's episode will provide more strategies for supporting metabolism, gut health, and reducing inflammation – which are key to balancing hormones long-term – so don’t forget to come back tomorrow for the final day of the Hormone Real Talk Bootcamp!

E125: How Low Energy & Hormone Imbalance Are Connected at a Root Cause Level | DAY 2 of The Hormone Real Talk Bootcamp
Welcome back to the Happily Hormonal Podcast – and day 2 of the Hormone Real Talk Bootcamp!
In this episode, I’m sharing the link between low energy and hormone imbalances: stress. Chronic stress puts the body in "survival mode" where it prioritizes stress hormones over sex hormones, leading to issues like low progesterone. Blood sugar imbalance can also trigger cortisol spikes and leave us feeling drained.
The good news is nourishment can help reset this cycle. Tune in and find out how!
Still not signed up for the challenge emails + coaching call Friday? This is for you if you want to cut through the noise and get real help with your hormones so you can start to feel better this month. You’ll get to work through the action steps + takeaways from these episodes with Leisha personally
In this episode:
[02:04] What is not normal in terms of ENERGY[05:40] What good energy actually looks like[09:31] What happens in your body when you’re under constant stress [14:03] Balancing hormones naturally through nourishment and stress management
