Hey friend,

The holidays may be called “the most wonderful time of the year,” but between family drama, travel delays, and a to-do list longer than Santa’s naughty list, Christmas can also be a season of stress.

Studies show the average person spends a whopping 13 hours prepping for Christmas Day!

But after all that preparation, it takes less than just 13 seconds for stress to send our cortisol soaring.

And that’s bad news for our hormones.

In this episode, we’re diving into how to deal with:

Not getting support for holiday prep

Running out of time to get everything done before guests arrive

Seeing a difficult relative you haven’t seen in a while 

Burning the holiday meal 

Giving a gift to a picky family member 

Dealing with holiday traffic (or a delayed flight) 

If you’re one burnt pie or snarky comment away from having a complete hormonal meltdown, this episode is for you!

Join me for this episode as I share how to tweak some of your favorite holiday recipes so they work with your hormones instead of working against them.

Hey friend,

Today, I’m continuing my 6-week series about how to enjoy the holidays…without sabotaging your hormones or gaining weight.

Did you know the average person consumes a whopping 4,500 calories on Thanksgiving? 

That's the equivalent of 16 slices of pizza, 61 chicken wings, or 28 glazed donuts!!!

And all those extra calories aren’t even the worst of it! Because what we eat can have an even bigger impact on our hormones--and hormonal symptoms--than how much we eat. 

In today’s quick-tip episode, I’m sharing “5 Nutrition Hacks To Prevent Holiday Overeating & Control Cravings.”

Join me as I unpack:

The four holiday ingredients that can negatively affect your hormones

The best Thanksgiving dishes to curb cravings and suppress hunger

Why skipping breakfast to save calories can backfire (and what to do instead)

The one carb you want to make sure to include plenty of on your holiday plate

Plus, I’ll share my #1 secret for hacking your bio-chemistry when your body wants sugar

If your plan for eating healthy holiday eating is “willpower” (Spoiler alert: Willpower is not a plan!), this episode is for you.

Hey friend,

Today, I’m talking about FOMO, or more specifically food FOMO.

Because the holiday season is here and that means a lot of food temptations.

If you’re starting to spiral at the thought of holiday cookies and cakes and candy everywhere—at the office, at your hair salon, and even at your gym (the horror!)--and are contemplating either staying at home and boycotting the holidays, or risk blowing all the progress you’ve made this year, there is a third option.

And it begins with shifting your mindset.

This week’s podcast kicks off a 6-week series all about how to enjoy the holidays…without throwing your hormones into overdrive.

Join me as we unpack:

The connection between food FOMO and a scarcity mindset

How food FOMO can lead to anxiety around food and food-centered gatherings

Why food FOMO and blood sugar imbalance go hand-in-hand during the holidays

Plus, I’ll share 3 mindset shifts to transform your mind-body connection and say goodbye to holiday food FOMO for good!

Hey friend,

Today, I’m talking about the #1-holiday gut issue affecting women in perimenopause and menopause and how to curb or prevent a flare-up.

Yep, I’m talking about candida.

I can’t tell you how many women reach out to me every January regarding another yeast infection they’ve tried everything to get rid of…but, like an unwanted family member at Thanksgiving…just keeps coming back! 

(🙋🏼‍♀️Been there; got the t-shirt!) 

That’s because the holidays are one of the most sugar- and stress-filled times of the year–and a veritable breeding ground for yeast.

And although candida shows up most commonly in the form of a vaginal yeast infection, its “silent” symptoms can show up in our bodies in a lot of other ways including acid reflux, IBS, arthritis pain, sinus infections and allergies, anxiety, depression, uncontrollable cravings for sugar and refined carbohydrates–and, yes, even fatigue or rapid weight gain.

Join me in Part 2 of my discussion on candida where I’ll unpack:

3 reasons why the holidays can lead to a candida outbreak

The difference between regular sugar cravings and candida-induced sugar cravings

Why candida could be the hidden cause of your fatigue or sudden weight gain

Plus, I’ll share five candida diet tips for keeping yeast at bay this holiday season (including the biggest candida culprits in your kitchen!)

If you want to know which cocktails are safe to ring in the New Year or the two sweeteners that won’t feed your candida when you’re craving sugar, this episode is for you!

Hey friend,

Are you dealing with sudden, out-of-control cravings for sugary, starchy, or carby foods? (like, more than normal?)

…What about bloating, a skin rash, or even sinus issues that won’t go away (even though you’re doing everything to eat right and live a healthy lifestyle?)

…Or maybe you’ve found yourself visiting the Monistat aisle at your favorite drugstore a bit more frequently lately, because, umm, something’s going on “down there” again?

If you’ve been experiencing any or all of these symptoms, something called “candida overgrowth” could be to blame. And while there’s nothing quite like ANOTHER yeast infection to rain on your holiday parade, candida can also be a sign of an underlying hormonal imbalance.

In this week’s episode, I’m going to share with you everything you wanted to know about candida (but maybe were afraid to ask), including why so many women experience candida more often in perimenopause and menopause.

Join me in this episode where I’ll unpack:

5 different ways candida shows up in our bodies

The “silent” symptoms of candida overgrowth to watch out for

6 causes of candida infection, including the relationship between candida and diet 

The connection between estrogen and candida

Plus, I’ll share the problem with conventional candida treatment and the first thing you need to do to stop a recurring yeast infection.

If you’re too embarrassed to go to your doctor (or worried he’ll just brush off your questions with another prescription), this episode is for you!

Hey friend,

It’s National Breast Cancer Month and in today’s episode, we’re talking about breast cancer prevention.

When it comes to breast cancer occurrence, here’s what we know:

ONE in EIGHT women will be diagnosed with breast cancer in her LIFETIME. 

In North America, a woman dies of breast cancer every 12 minutes.

It’s shocking. 

For all of the research and walks and advances in pharmaceuticals, we still don’t have a cure for breast cancer. (Yet.) 🙏

But here’s the good news: We can reduce our personal lifetime risk of breast cancer through changes to our diet and lifestyle by AS MUCH AS 70%!

Join me for today’s episode as we unpack:

How hormones and breast cancer are unequivocally linked

What type of breast cancer is on the rise in women under 49

The connection between alcohol, estrogen, and breast cancer

The best type of exercise for breast cancer prevention

Which is a greater risk: excess weight or excess body fat? 

The best vegetables for preventing estrogen receptor-negative breast cancer

Plus, I’ll share how managing hormonal imbalances like estrogen dominance and elevated cortisol can reduce your breast cancer risk as well as two free resources to help balance your hormones naturally.

Whether you have a family history of breast cancer, are a breast cancer survivor in remission, or just want to know how you can be proactive to prevent breast cancer, this episode is for you!

Hey friend,

…Ever feel like you just stuck your finger in a light socket… even though you’ve been nowhere near an electrical outlet? 👀

…Or gotten a “whiff” of something funky and wondered, “What is that smell?”... only to realize it’s YOU?!

…Or have you ever gone to scratch or brush away a creepy, crawly bug making its way down your leg…only to realize there's nothing there? 

If you’re sitting there nodding, then you may be a card-carrying member of the Crazy Hormones Club. 🤪

In Part 2 of our episode on weird and wacky menopause symptoms, we’re diving into 3 more symptoms no one (except me) is talking about–brain zaps, body odor, and itchy, crawly skin. 

Join me for today’s episode as we unpack:

The science behind “brain zaps”—why our nervous system goes a little haywire during perimenopause and how fluctuating hormone levels impact our hypothalamus 

Body odor changes—the link between hormones, sweat, and bacteria, and the real reason you may be smelling less like a rose these days (that has nothing to do with hygiene)

Itchy, crawly skin—the medical condition commonly diagnosed as hives, eczema, or a rash that often accompanies hot flashes

Plus, I’ll also share my go-to natural remedies for reducing or even eliminating these crazy hormone symptoms including phytoestrogen-rich foods, B12 vitamins, and hormone-friendly skincare.

If you’ve been brushed off by your doctor or have been suffering in silence, secretly searching “weird menopause symptoms” on TikTok,  this episode is for you!
