Reader, Episode 2 in the Hormone Series is officially live, and this one is all about a hormone that quietly controls far more than most people realize… insulin. Most people think insulin well, that's diabetes, but... insulin actually plays a huge role in blood sugar balance, energy levels, cravings, fat storage, and overall hormone health for those that aren't diabetic! When your blood sugar is constantly spiking and crashing, it will disrupt hormones like cortisol and thyroid and leave you feeling tired, irritable, and stuck with stubborn weight. This very well could be you and you may not even know it! So, in the episode, I am breaking down the signs of blood sugar instability, not diabetes, and how modern eating habits can throw your blood sugar out of whack! The good news? A few simple shifts in how you build your meals can make a huge difference. Are you ready for a shift? I'll share real-life strategies you can start using right away to steady your blood sugar, boost your energy, and help your hormones work with you instead of against you. Just think, fewer crashes, fewer cravings, and feeling so much better! ✨ 🎧 Listen to Episode 2: Apple Podcasts HERE Thanks for listening! P.S. If you're trying to figure out your hormones, one of the biggest mistakes I see is relying on “normal” lab ranges. Normal just means the average of a population that is often already struggling with symptoms. Optimal ranges help you understand where your labs should be for true hormone balance and metabolic health. I put together a free guide showing the optimal lab ranges for thyroid and hormones so you can better interpret your results.

Hey Reader, Have you ever had your reverse T3 checked? My guess is… probably not. And if you’ve ever asked your doctor about it, there’s a good chance you were told it “doesn’t matter.” WRONG!! It does matter, and it can be a huge missing piece if you’re still struggling with symptoms. Here’s why 👇 When we look at your thyroid labs, it’s not just about how much thyroid hormone you have… it’s about what your body is actually doing with it. Your thyroid primarily produces T4, which is your...
Reader, Let me share a bit about my story, and what it’s really like to live without a thyroid… or with one that isn’t being treated the right way. Back in 2007, I was diagnosed with thyroid cancer that had already spread to my lymph nodes. A year later… it came back! After multiple surgeries and three rounds of radioactive iodine that didn’t work, I ultimately had my entire thyroid removed... along with many lymph nodes. And I truly believed that would be the turning point.Remove the...
Hello, You’ve probably been told to “fix your hormones”... all the peri and menopausal women are doing this… but no one tells you where to start. That’s exactly why I created this hormone podcast series... because most women are working backwards, and it’s keeping them stuck. Here’s what we’ve covered so far: Episode 5: The Hormone Hierarchy – Why Cortisol Runs the Show. Listen Here.We started at the top. Stress hormones (cortisol) dictate everything... your metabolism, thyroid function, and...
