Discover the power of functional nutrition and its impact on women's health with my guest, Chrissy Williams, a registered dietitian and virtual private practice owner. Gain profound insights into the world of metabolic health, hormone balance, and burnout recovery, topics often overlooked by the mainstream medical community. Chrissy opens up about her personal battle with postpartum fatigue and the dismissive attitude she faced, highlighting the critical importance of self-advocacy.

Our conversation dives into the practical aspects of functional health, exploring the four foundational pillars of Chrissy's Happy Hormones Bootcamp. From postpartum and pre-conception nutrition to nervous system support, circadian rhythm, and sleep routines, we cover it all. Chrissy introduces us to beneficial practices such as gua sha, lymphatic massage, sauna, and infrared sauna, along with grounding techniques. We also discuss the importance of focusing on hormone balance over diets and weight loss. 

Listen in as we discuss how to nourish and support adrenals, including swapping out your afternoon coffee for an adrenal cocktail and how to create custom protocols based on your individual needs.

In this episode, Chrissy (https://www.instagram.com/chrissywilliams.rd/) and I discuss:

• What is the connection between hormones and burnout?
• Why should people focus on habits when it comes to caring for their hormones?
• What are some simple ways to nourish hormones?
