    E240: Root Causes Of Chronic Mineral Depletion & How To Start Moving The Needle To Replenish Energy & Balance Hormones

    Are you constantly tired, moody, or bloated, and wondering how the heck you got here when you’re doing all the right things?  Let’s unpack something most women have never even heard of but definitely feel the effects of: mineral depletion. Specifically, the slow oxidizer pattern that keeps your energy low, your PMS raging, and your emotions stuck on numb. I’ve seen this same pattern in hundreds of high-achieving women, and today, I’m breaking it down in a way that finally makes sense. Because knowing what’s happening in your body is the first step to getting out of it. It’s wild once you see how it all connects. Here’s a little taste of what we’ll chat about: The mineral combo that explains fatigue, PMS, anxiety, and low libidoWhy your emotions might be a bigger piece of the mineral puzzle than your dietThe first small but powerful shifts that can help your body rebuild energy and hormonal balance from the inside outThis isn’t another “take these supplements” talk. It’s a deep dive into why your body’s been in freeze mode, and how you can safely guide it out. Hit play, grab a cozy spot, and a few minutes just for you, because this episode might just make you say, “Ohhh… that’s why I’ve been feeling this way.” NEW Private Podcast - 3 Steps to Making Hormones Well Book a FREE Hormone Strategy Call with me NEED HELP FIXING YOUR HORMONES?

    E238: Is Your IUD Or Birth Control Pill Messing With Your Mood? New Research + How To Feel Better

    Have you ever wondered if your IUD or birth control pill might actually be the reason your mood feels off? Like, one week you’re fine, and the next you’re snapping at everyone, and just feeling not yourself? You’ve probably been told, “It’s just stress.” But that gut feeling you keep getting, the one whispering something changed since I got this IUD? Let’s talk about that. In this episode, we’re getting real about what the latest research says about hormonal birth control, especially hormonal IUDs, and how they can affect your mood, anxiety, and overall mental health. Here’s a sneak peek of what you’ll hear: 02:54 The 2023 and 2024 studies show a real connection between hormonal IUDs and mood changes, and what that means for you03:47 What synthetic progesterone does in your body (and why fake progesterone acts nothing like the real thing)13:47 The simple steps to start feeling like yourself again, whether you decide to keep the IUD or take it outYou might be surprised by how much your body’s been trying to tell you, and how simple it can be to start feeling clearer, calmer, and more grounded again. So grab your earbuds, fold that laundry, or sneak in a quiet walk, and let’s chat about the truth behind birth control, mood, and what it actually takes to feel good in your body again. Because once you hear this one, you won’t look at your IUD the same way again (in the best possible way).
