Boost your energy, balance hormones naturally, and heal holistically all without uprooting your entire life!
Have you ever tried to Google your symptoms only to slam the laptop shut in frustration? Do you want natural, holistic solutions that actually work? Are you tired of being told that everything is normal, when you know it’s not? Are you ready to take back your health to live your best life?
In this podcast, you’ll discover why your cycle is so important to your everyday health and how you can use nutrition to help support the rise and fall of your hormones and finally feel truly amazing. We dig deep to understand and heal the root causes of your symptoms so you can achieve lasting results that allow you to live a healthy and balanced life without a life-long pharmaceutical prescription.
If you're ready to reclaim your energy, learn how to listen to your body, and holistically improve your overall health, you're in the right place! I’ll be sharing my tried and true methods for blood sugar balance, improved sleep quality, weight loss, and increased energy levels so you can live your healthiest life all without unreasonable lifestyle shifts, like restrictive dieting or excessive supplementing.
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. I decided not to undergo the operation and instead found a way to heal the underlying cause. 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”. I’m here to help you achieve optimal overall health through simple, straightforward lifestyle changes that you can start to implement today.
Balancing Hormones Naturally isn’t just the name of the podcast, it’s the way forward to a happier, healthier life and I can’t wait to join you on the journey!

Episode 154: The Secret to Lowering Brain Inflammation in Chronic Illness
Do you ever feel like no matter what you do, you always end up with the same result? In this episode, we're talking with Ashok Gupta about neuroplasticity and how we can retrain our brains to get healthier. He shares how we can manage conditions like fibromyalgia, chronic fatigue, and mold illness in a way that traditional healthcare often overlooks.
Ashok Gupta is an internationally renowned Speaker, Filmmaker & Health Practitioner who has dedicated his life to supporting people through chronic illness, and achieving their potential. Ashok suffered from ME, or Chronic Fatigue Syndrome, around 25 years ago when he was studying at Cambridge University. Through neurological research that he conducted, he managed to get himself 100% better. He then set up a clinic to treat others, and then published the well-known neuroplasticity “limbic retraining” recovery program and app known as the Gupta Program in 2007. He has published several medical papers, including randomized controlled trials on Long Covid, ME/CFS, and fibromyalgia, showing that the treatment is effective, and he is continually researching these conditions.

Customer Reviews
One of the most HELPFUL podcasts ever!
…esp for women.
I absolutely love Leah’s podcast, and have learned and been able to pass on to many others, the innumerable helpful gems of nutritional information, holistic tips, and insights into a woman’s hormonal cycle. I wish I had known about so much of this decades ago! But I figured implementing things now is certainly better than never. Leah has a wonderful, carefree, but convicted spirit; always open to learning new things. It’s refreshing to listen to her, and I also love her choice of the many medical experts she has interviewed on her show. I currently have quite a few of their books on my wishlist!
I always “anxiously” await the weekly podcasts. What’s most surprising to me is that Leah is offering all of this extremely helpful information for free. Truly, I can’t say enough good things about the podcast. You won’t regret it!
So helpful!
I’ve only started listening a few months ago but I already feel so much more in control of my hormone health. Thank you!!
Love this show!
Came across this show after Leah was a guest on another show I listen to. She is a wealth of knowledge and where she’s not, she chooses great guests. I love how actionable the steps she provides are. I am always motivated to implement small changes after I listen to her show
