Have you found yourself searching online for natural hormone balance tips but come away feeling more confused and overwhelmed?

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.

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.

E74: STRESS Directly Causes Low Progesterone - Is it Happening to You? (Episode 22 Reboot)
Progesterone is one of the most underappreciated, most incredible hormones for women, but it's so common for us to be making less progesterone than we need to, and stress can be a BIG piece of this puzzle.
As a busy woman myself, I don't expect life to be without stress, but there are things we can do to impact how our bodies feel stress, how they respond, and how they make and detox hormones, so we can be as optimal as possible even with a stressful life.
I'm diving in to how stress can affect (basically hijack) our progesterone production and why it's so important to know if it's happening to you so that you can make steps toward balanced progesterone and long term hormone balance.
TODAY I'm opening doors to my newest in-depth group coaching program and applications are open here! Bonus $150 off + 1:1 hormone assessment expires Sept 28 and we start October 30th.

E70: Are These Common Diet Trends Actually Healthy? (Episode 4 Reboot)
I'm taking a break from the podcast in September to focus on my family a little extra but I've brought back some of my favorite OG episodes from last year so you can listen again (or if you're new, for the first time!)
Today, Dr Heather Rhodes & I going to talk about diet trends and why they can actually do more harm than good.
Over the last few years, we’ve seen quite a few diet trends become more and more popular. There are shakes, keto, intermittent fasting, paleo, and many others. While on the surface level, they can all seem healthy, when we actually look at the nutrients and the mindset around them, it becomes clear they can be really bad for your hormones long term. So, we're going to go deeper into this topic today.
In this episode:
The standard American diet vs. what your body actually needsWhat we think about meal-replacement dietsWhy diet trends can be harmful to your mindset around nourishmentFinding balance in your daily diet as a busy womanWhat we think about whole-food diets like paleo and ketoA better perspective on supporting your body with food for happy hormones and healthy energy

Customer Reviews
Always learning
First off thank you so much for your willingness to share, and help me learn about my hormones and my body. I am shocked to make the realization that I know way less than I probably should. I am floored at the thought that doctors over the years have put a Band-Aid over so many of my symptoms, and I am excited to see how I can rebuild and replenish my body after having our first son, and in preparation to hopefully have one more sweet baby. Thank you so much for this podcast… I can’t wait to listen to more!
Amazing Podcast!!
I recently stopped taking birth control and my hormones and body have been all over the place. I found this podcast after listening to She (Jordan Lee Dooley’s podcast) and it is amazing! I’ve learned so much and are taking steps towards healing my gut and overall body. I’m so excited to keep learning and one day be able to share this with my future kids.
Learning a lot!
I am very new in my hormone journey and this podcast is a wonderful introduction. I am beginning to notice that many of my challenges (mood, energy, and headaches) are related to my menstrual cycle. I love being a women, this body that has been the most loyal companion and listening to this podcast and applying wisdom shared is yet another way I can love on myself and my body! Thank you!
