    Hormone Harmony Summit Announcement

    Send a text We preview the Hormone Harmony Summit, a free multi-day event that blends medical science, practical tools, and whole-person healing for perimenopause and menopause.  Get your ticket here: Hormone Harmony Summit We kick off with the essentials: what shifting estrogen and progesterone actually do, how to read labs like FSH and estradiol in context, and a clear-eyed look at hormone therapy—when it helps, how to personalize it, and who should consider alternatives. From there, we map the gut-hormone connection with insights on microbiome diversity, bile flow, vagal tone, and practical strategies for women who can’t or don’t want HRT: nutrition that supports estrogen metabolism, targeted probiotics, sleep and stress protocols, and realistic movement goals that change how you feel day to day. Learn more about our Hormone Harmony Speakers here. The summit also takes on the bigger picture. We examine how women’s health got here—research gaps, outdated dogma, brushed-off symptoms—and what genuine, respectful care looks like now. Physical therapist-led strength training becomes a non-negotiable tool for lean mass, bone density, insulin sensitivity, and confidence, with simple templates to start safely. Then we make space for what the lab report can’t hold: the emotional terrain of grief and identity shifts, the spiritual invitation to align with what matters, and energy practices that help you feel grounded and steady. We even explore career pivots and purpose at midlife with practical steps to evaluate risk and move toward work that fits who you are becoming. Whether you’re 35 and wondering “is this normal?,” 55 and seeking clarity on HRT, or 70 and ready to give your past a compassionate frame, you’ll leave with tools, language, and choices that respect your whole life. Join us live for Q&A and community, catch replays if your schedule is full, or grab the all-access pass for transcripts and resources. Subscribe, share with a friend who needs this, and leave a review to help more women find informed, compassionate midlife care.

    Perimenopause And Menopause, Demystified For Modern Women

    Send us a text Secure the best price for the Hormone Harmony Summit!!! Get your All Access Pass to the Hormone Harmony Summit for the lowest price now: Hormone Harmony Summit Menopause isn’t a list of symptoms to tough out—it’s a whole‑person transition that touches sleep, mood, metabolism, and identity. We pull back the curtain on what actually changes during perimenopause and menopause, why “I don’t feel like myself” is a valid signal, and how to turn overwhelm into a grounded, practical plan you can start today. Get your copy of Awakening in Midlife Today. We begin with a candid look at sleep, the hidden driver that shapes anxiety, pain, and focus. You’ll hear a striking patient story that shows how decades of poor sleep can ripple into later health, and you’ll get simple, evidence‑informed routines to protect circadian rhythm: cutting blue light at night, seeking bright morning light, creating a consistent wind‑down, and building protein‑forward, fiber‑rich breakfasts that stabilize energy and hormones. We connect these habits to nervous system regulation, sharing quick breath practices that fit inside a busy day. From there, we move into mental health and identity. Hormone fluctuations influence serotonin and GABA, which can intensify irritability, low mood, or brain fog—especially if you live with depression, anxiety, or bipolar disorder. We talk therapy tune‑ups, medication reviews, and boundary setting that respects recovery. Then we tackle stubborn myths: that it’s all in your head, that normal labs mean nothing is wrong, that weight gain is laziness, or that you just have to endure. You’ll learn a three‑layer model—body, emotion, identity—to map what’s changing and choose next steps with clarity. If you’re navigating hot flashes, sleep disruption, mood swings, or a shifting sense of self, this conversation offers compassionate guidance and actionable tools. Join us to reframe midlife as a portal to power, not a deadline.

    Myths about Menopause

    Send us a text Come to the Apology Tour Stop featuring the International Hormone Whisperer, Dr. LaKeischa.  Sign up here for January 29th, 2026 at 7:00PM EST The Apology Tour Menopause isn’t a cliff you fall from; it’s a crossing that can sharpen your wisdom and reshape your priorities. We unpack the most persistent myths around perimenopause and menopause and replace them with clear definitions, practical tools, and a grounded sense of what your body is asking for right now. Download my latest eBook:  Awakening in Midlife-A Compassionate Guide to Reclaiming Your Balance We start by mapping the terrain: perimenopause as the unpredictable runway, menopause as the 12-month mark without a period, and postmenopause as the years after. From there, we challenge the “it’s all in your head” narrative and explore how fluctuating hormones influence sleep, mood, cognition, joints, heart health, and metabolism. You’ll hear simple, evidence-informed ways to steady sleep with consistent routines and light hygiene, reduce overwhelm by focusing on one or two priority symptoms, and track patterns over weeks rather than days. Nutrition and movement get a realistic reset. We talk protein-forward meals that go beyond sugary breakfasts, why fiber helps hormone metabolism and gut health, and how to combine strength training with daily walking for insulin sensitivity and muscle preservation—without tipping into overtraining. We also take a nuanced look at hormone therapy: who might benefit, what risks to consider, and why individualized care and ongoing reviews matter. Along the way, we address the emotional side of this neuroendocrine remodel—when therapy helps, how to honor grief and past trauma, and why many women feel more assertive and intuitive as they cross this threshold. If you’re ready to replace confusion with clarity and treat this season as a shift into power, you’ll leave with a practical playbook and a kinder lens on your changing body.

    Reframing Menopause: Intuition, Boundaries, And Healing

    Send us a text The mood swings, fog, and sudden intolerance for nonsense might feel like chaos—but what if they’re clarity knocking?  We take a fresh look at perimenopause and menopause as sacred transitions where intuition sharpens, boundaries grow bolder, and your inner compass comes back online. Instead of chalking everything up to hormones, we unpack the emotional and spiritual layers that medicine can’t measure yet deeply shape how you feel day to day. Download the eBook; Awaken in Midlife to take this journey deeper: Awaken in Midlife Together, we name the hard-to-pin grief of midlife: the body you once had, the energy you miss, the dreams you delayed while caring for others. We reframe “going crazy” as receiving information from your nervous system, and we talk about why irritability can signal safety needs rather than failure. You’ll learn how to recognize intuition in your body—gentle nudges, gut flutters, the breath you hold when you resist your knowing—and how discernment helps you sense what’s true at work, at home, and within.  We also dive into practical tools: a two-to-five-minute breath ritual to reset your system, a simple “The truth is I feel…” journaling practice to honor what’s real, and approachable ways to partner with your body through nourishment and movement that match your energy. We offer grounded practices that avoid spiritual bypassing and help you live more truthfully—one small ritual at a time.  Grab the free ebook Awakening in Midlife from the show notes and join the waitlist for the Hormone Harmony Summit, February 19–22, 2026.

    Awakening In Midlife: Navigating Perimenopause, Menopause, And Beyond

    Send us a text Get Your Copy of the ebook, Awaken in Midlife Here: Awaken in Midlife-Embracing the Stages of Menopause Join us at the Apology Tour on January 29th, 2026 here: The Apology Tour  The ground shifts in midlife, and many of us wonder, why do I feel like a different person? We open a clear, compassionate conversation about perimenopause, menopause, and post-menopause—what changes in the body, how those shifts shape mood and identity, and why none of it means you’re broken. With a practical lens and a holistic heart, we unpack the stages, bust persistent myths, and map simple daily habits that rebuild steadiness. We explore how fluctuating hormones can disrupt sleep, focus, and temperature regulation, and we get specific about confirming menopause after twelve months without a period. From there, we look ahead to post-menopause, where many women feel more stable yet need to protect bone density, metabolic health, and cardiovascular resilience. You’ll hear a candid discussion of weight redistribution, skin and hair changes, hot flashes and night sweats, plus the emotional landscape of midlife—caregiving strain, career pivots, relationship stress, and grief that often arrives all at once. Support is the throughline. We share accessible tools like resistance training, fiber-forward nutrition, hydration, and sleep hygiene, along with a calming breath practice to reset your nervous system at night. We also speak directly to women who cannot use hormone therapy due to complex medical histories, emphasizing inclusive, whole-person strategies and a truly multidisciplinary perspective. Along the way, you’ll get details about our live Apology Tour conversation with Dr. Lakeisha, a free ebook to guide your journey, and a holistic summit featuring intuitive healers, functional medicine experts, health coaches, and yoga instructors. Your body isn’t betraying you; it’s communicating. Join us to gain language for the season you’re in, reclaim self-trust, and gather tools that make each day more livable.

    How Chronic Busyness Hijacks Your Hormones And Energy

    Send us a text Ever feel wired but somehow exhausted, like your brain won’t shut off even when your body begs for rest? We dive into the hidden physiological price of being everyone’s go-to, especially for women in their 40s and 50s, and why chronic busyness silently derails sleep, mood, and metabolism. Drawing on real-world patient patterns, we connect the dots between nonstop demands and hormonal shifts that don’t show up as “willpower problems” but as progesterone dips, low DHEA, cortisol swings, and sluggish thyroid conversion. We break down how the lizard brain flags late-night emails as danger, setting off survival mode that flattens your spark. You’ll learn the lived signs of low progesterone—irritability, restless nights, pre-period sensitivity—and how adrenal depletion pulls resources away from calm and toward stress chemistry. We also unpack the cortisol and DHEA partnership, what happens when DHEA declines faster than age alone would predict, and the overlooked link between stress and poor T4-to-T3 thyroid conversion that produces brain fog, cold intolerance, brittle nails, hair shedding, constipation, and weight creep despite “doing everything right.” Most importantly, we map out a sustainable path back. Cycle intensity instead of grinding daily: swap some HIIT for walks, yoga, Pilates, mobility, or breath work to give adrenals a true break. Build protein-first mornings with healthy fats to stabilize blood sugar and support cortisol rhythms. Create real sleep boundaries by setting Do Not Disturb two hours before bed while allowing emergency contacts. Consider gentle adaptogens like ashwagandha, rhodiola, and holy basil, and move from guessing to clarity with targeted labs: DHEA-S, TSH with free T3 and free T4, and appropriately timed progesterone testing. You’ll walk away with a practical, compassionate toolkit to protect energy, restore mood, and feel grounded again without abandoning the people and work you love. Start the free Harmonize Your Energy Workshop and destress during this 90-minute workshop: Harmonize Your Energy If this helped, follow the show, share it with a friend who needs permission to slow down, and leave a quick review so others can find it.

    When Your Body Attacks Itself: Understanding the Hidden Link Between Emotions, Hormones, and Autoimmunity

    Send us a text This brief podcast is assisted with AI technology.  Pllease read the blog with this podcast here: Your body may not be attacking you at random—it might be repeating a story it learned when safety felt scarce. We explore how the heart’s unhealed wounds can echo through the thymus and immune system, why women in midlife see autoimmune symptoms rise, and how hormone shifts turn emotional strain into inflammation.  Drawing a clear line between emotion, endocrine signaling, and immune behavior, we translate a complex web—estrogen, cortisol, insulin, thyroid hormones—into grounded steps you can use right away.We walk through the “hormone triad” we see in autoimmune patterns: adrenal stress muddling immune tolerance, blood sugar swings fueling cytokines, and thyroid slowdowns when the throat center is chronically silenced. From Hashimoto’s to mixed inflammatory symptoms, the throughline is a body trying to protect you with outdated rules. ACE research backs the connection: when early life taught your system that the world is unsafe, the thymus remembers. That memory can look like hypervigilance, flares, and exhaustion—until you provide a new experience of safety.Healing starts with presence over perfection. We share practical tools to regulate the nervous system (paced breathing, grounding, gentle movement), reopen the heart through self-compassion and grief work, and stabilize the basics that move labs: protein-forward meals, fiber-rich carbs, steady meal timing, mineral support for thyroid health, and honest communication to unfreeze the throat. Energy practices help soften emotional armor so the immune system no longer needs to shout. If autoimmunity is the body saying “please stop abandoning me,” then your daily acts of care are the answer it has waited for.If this resonates, follow the show, share it with someone who needs hope, and leave a review telling us the one practice you’ll try this week. Your story could be the lifeline someone else is searching for.

    How The Thymus Shapes Immunity, Hormones, And Healing

    Send us a text What if your immune system could learn to stand down the moment your heart felt safe? We dive into the quiet power of the thymus—nestled behind your breastbone and aligned with the heart chakra—and unpack how this small organ teaches T cells what to attack and what to leave alone. When heartbreak, loss, or chronic stress hits, that lesson blurs, and the body can slip into hypervigilance, shallow breathing, and autoimmune flares. We connect the dots between emotional memory, the heart’s intrinsic nervous system, and the flare patterns many women see during perimenopause and menopause. Together, we map why adverse childhood experiences train the body to scan for danger and how that pattern can carry into adult relationships and hormone balance. You’ll hear how the heart’s “memory” shows up physiologically, why modern medicine rarely targets the thymus directly, and where complementary practices can fill the gap. We talk candidly about autoimmunity—lupus, rheumatoid arthritis, MS, IBD—and why symptoms often intensify during times of grief or reminders of past harm. Then we get practical. You’ll learn step-by-step, accessible tools to bring your immune system back toward tolerance: gentle thymus tapping with safety-centered affirmations, heart-focused breathing to lengthen the exhale and engage vagal tone, and simple Reiki-style hand placement to soothe the chest and upper back. We also share compassion journaling prompts that shift the nervous system from self-surveillance to self-support. For women navigating midlife, we outline how shifting hormones interact with stress and why restoring heart-centered safety can reduce flare risk.
