I’m Leah Brueggemann, a Functional Diagnostic Nutritional® Practitioner and Hormone Health Coach, helping you balance your hormones in effective and realistic ways so you can live a healthier, happier life. Five years ago, I found out I had fibroadenomas (benign breast tumors), which 90% of the time return after surgical removal.

After years of extreme pain, irregular cycles, and ovarian cysts, I finally learned how to balance my hormones which healed my fibroadenomas and led me to regular, pain-free periods.  I learned how to make lifestyle shifts, remove toxins from my environment, and give my body what it actually needs to function optimally and heal on a cellular level. After my experience, I became a Functional Diagnostic Nutritional® Practitioner so that I can empower women in their own holistic health journey. Even if you’ve been told your labs are normal or that your symptoms aren’t a cause for concern - YOU are the expert of your body and your experience. You deserve to feel AMAZING, not just “normal”.

    What brain rewiring inside the Hormone Reset Program actually looks like, and why supplements alone will never be enough

    If you've ever wondered whether your anxiety is causing your hormone imbalance or your hormones are causing your anxiety, the answer is both. And once you understand the loop, you can finally start to break it. In this episode: Why anxiety and hormonal imbalance aren't separate issues, they're a feedback loop, and you have to stop the cycle to fix either one.How chronic stress eventually tanks your cortisol even when you're still under the same amount of stress, and why your test comes back low when you expected high.Why your body will shut down ovulation when it doesn't feel safe, and how stress is directly connected to fertility.The digestion connection nobody talks about, why chronic stress is the reason you're bloated, constipated, or not fully eliminating, and how that loops back into hormones.The progesterone piece, why stress and anxiety steal from your keep calm carry on hormone and make everything worse.Why identifying as an anxious person is creating an expectation loop your body keeps proving correct.The difference between "I am anxious" and "I'm experiencing anxiety right now," and why the wording actually matters for your hormones.How your brain wires itself based on repetition and emotional experience, and what that means for PMS, PMDD, and mood.The regulatory sandwich, a simple before-and-after tool for moments that trigger your nervous system.Why five minutes of breathwork twice a week isn't going to cut it, and how to actually habit stack nervous system regulation into your day.Why you literally cannot feel calm without enough magnesium and potassium, it's a physical fact.What brain rewiring inside the Hormone Reset Program actually looks like, and why supplements alone will never be enough.Your body isn't broken. It's protecting you based on old patterns. But you can change that, starting today.

    Hormones, Grief, and Giving Yourself Grace

    This one is just you and me. No guest, no protocol, no checklist, just an honest conversation about what it actually looks like to keep going when life gets heavy. Because 2026 has been a year, and I think a lot of you are in a similar season. In this episode: Why Leah is sharing this, not for sympathy, but to model what adapting actually looks like in real life.The grief button analogy that reframes how we think about loss and why time doesn't heal the way we think it does.Why ignoring your emotions and plowing forward isn't healing, and what she did instead.The specific things she pulled back on during this season and why that was the right call.How she supported her adrenals when stress was high, and the catnip bitters she reached for when things felt really unsettled.Why she put away all self-development books and just read fiction, and why that was the right move.The gardening hobby that became her low-stakes, low-pressure nervous system reset.How joy became a non-negotiable, singing with the kids, playing piano, making cottage cheese chocolate protein balls.Why communication with your spouse about what you actually need matters more in hard seasons than in easy ones.The levels system, and why having a lot of level one days is not failure, it's just where you are.What it looks like to still be moving forward even when forward feels slow and small.You don't have to be okay all the time. You just have to keep moving. Even if it's smaller and slower than you'd like.

    What Standing in Your Kitchen at 9pm Actually Means

    You're not weak. You're not lacking willpower. Your cravings are actually telling you something, and once you understand what they're saying, everything changes. If you've ever stood in your kitchen at 9pm unable to stop thinking about chocolate, this episode is for you. In this episode: Why sugar cravings have nothing to do with willpower and everything to do with what's happening inside your body.The blood sugar roller coaster, what it actually looks like, why it keeps looping, and the sneaky foods that are spiking you without you realizing it.Why your smoothie, your fruit snack, and your adrenal cocktail might be working against your blood sugar without you knowing.The simple plate formula that will change how you feel if you actually do it accurately.Why your cravings are completely different in your luteal phase than the rest of your month, and what progesterone has to do with it.How cortisol spikes your blood sugar even when you haven't eaten anything, and why the 3pm crash and nighttime cravings are a stress response.What your specific craving is actually telling you, if it's salt, think adrenals; if it's specifically chocolate, think magnesium.Why parasites feed off serotonin at night and what to watch for if your cravings only show up after dark.Why just cutting sugar doesn't work, and what actually does.The craving reset: hormone plating, fixing your mineral base, and supporting your luteal phase.Why HMA testing can show blood sugar imbalances before they ever show up on a standard blood test.What emotional eating actually is at a biological level, and why it's not a character flaw.Cravings aren't a weakness.

    Join the Reset Retreat: https://landing.leahbrueggemann.com/reset-retreat-oct26 Your doctor probably told you it's autoimmune, genetic, or idiopathic, which is just a fancy word for "we have no idea." But what if everything the medical industry has told you about Crohn's and colitis is wrong? Josh Dech is back, and this time he's bringing a published paper that flips the entire $40 billion bowel disease industry on its head. In this episode: Why IBS is a garbage diagnosis and what doctors actually mean when they call something idiopathicThe published paper that proves Crohn's and colitis have never met the criteria for autoimmune disease, and what's actually going on insteadWhy your genes didn't cause your bowel disease, and the difference between genetic susceptibility and genetic causeThe six percent stat that will make your jaw drop: how the US, UK, Canada, Australia, and New Zealand make up six percent of the global population but carry sixty percent of the world's bowel diseaseThe three things that separate us from countries with five to twenty-five times less bowel disease: ultra-processed food, antibiotic usage, and glyphosateWhy thirty-five to fifty percent of your gut bacteria die in the presence of glyphosate, and why testing for it is a waste of money if you live in the USGenerational dysbiosis: how we've gone from Amazonian tribes with 1,600 unique gut bacteria species to people with bowel disease carrying as few as 100The dietary mistakes people with IBD make, including why bone broth might actually be making you worseThe two diets with the most clinical data behind them for Crohn's and colitis, and why forty to sixty percent of pediatric patients reached remission in six to eight weeksWhat fecal transplants actually are, the three ways they're delivered, and why spending $30,000 on one might be completely useless if you don't fix your terrain firstWhy you could get paid $300 to $500 per donation if you have a healthy gut (yes, really)The nail in the foot analogy that perfectly explains what every GI doctor is doing wrongThe simple order of operations Josh takes every client through,environments, food, drainage, testing, rebuild, and why skipping steps is why people don't get betterWhy taking gut lining support before addressing root cause is like trying to build a house while it's on fireThe projection that by 2030, bowel disease will affect one in 100 people, a 25,000 to 50,000 percent increase from the 1950sIf you or someone you love has been told their Crohn's or colitis is just something they have to manage for life, this episode will change how you think about that.

    Your Daily Drinks Are Either Helping Your Hormones or Wrecking Them

    Every sip you take is either helping your hormones or quietly wrecking them. If you're exhausted and moody, bloated, and reaching for coffee or an energy drink just to feel something, what's in your cup is probably part of the picture. Here's the good news: you don't have to give up your coffee. There are a few swaps and additions that change what your drinks are doing to your blood sugar, your inflammation, and your adrenals, and by the end of this you'll know exactly what to pour into your glass. In this episode: Why coffee isn't inherently the problem, and the one sign that tells you it's making things worse instead of betterMold and mycotoxins in coffee beans, where they actually come from in processing, and the brands that test for itWhy drinking your coffee out of a plastic cup with a plastic lid means you're drinking hot microplasticsThe single easiest change that costs you nothing and requires no new product: move your coffee to after breakfast, and why your adrenals feel it immediatelyWhat to add to your coffee so it isn't just sugar hitting an empty stomach, including collagen for protein and the fat sources that steady your blood sugarWhy most mushroom coffee on the shelf isn't therapeutically dosed, and what Leah adds to her own cup insteadThe specific blend she uses for energy, immune support, ATP production, and focus, plus what to add if caffeine makes you jittery but you refuse to give it upWhy you should look up your zip code on the EWG database, and the line that reframes this whole thing: if you're not filtering your water, you are the filterThe electrolyte conversation, including the argument that women don't need them and why sodium, potassium, and magnesium are batteries for your adrenalsWhich electrolytes to reach for if you want no stevia, no monk fruit, and no flavoring at allThe full happy hormone hot chocolate recipe, ingredient by ingredient, and why raw cacao and baking cocoa are not the same thingThe two secret ingredients in it: one for hair growth, stomach acid, and nine grams of protein, and one with saffron, which Leah calls her secret weapon for postpartum anxiety and depressionWhy glycine belongs in a nighttime drink, and how the whole thing supports sleep and mood at the same timeWhy maca goes in the mug for most women and why you should skip it entirely if you have PCOSHow little maple syrup you actually need, and why your taste buds will adapt if you wean down slowlyIf you only do two things from this episode, move your coffee to after breakfast and pay attention to your water. Those two alone will change how you feel. Everything else is the fun part. And if you want to be a little bougie about it, come make the happy hormone hot chocolate with me.
