Ep. 231 Ask Me Anything: Coffee & Adrenals, Pregnancy Nutrition, Period Problems & Dry Skin


Listen Later

In this AMA-style episode, I’m answering your most-asked questions—from navigating coffee when you’re supporting your adrenals to what to eat in pregnancy, plus thoughts on dry skin, period pain, and more.

No fear-mongering. No shame. Just real talk, nuance, and context—because your body isn’t broken, it’s communicating.

Here’s what we cover:

☕️ Coffee & Adrenal Health:

  • Should you stop drinking coffee if you’re supporting your nervous system or hormones?

  • Tips for making caffeine work with your body—not against it

  • Why the how and when you drink coffee matters just as much as the coffee itself

🤰 Pregnancy Nutrition:

  • The key nutrients to focus on in pregnancy (and why it’s more than just “take a prenatal”)

  • Whole food sources that make a difference

  • Why blood sugar balance is a quiet MVP during all trimesters

🩸 Period Problems:

  • Cramping, clotting, and fatigue—what your period might be trying to tell you

  • How nervous system support and blood sugar regulation play into cycle health

  • When to dig deeper or seek support

🌬️ Dry Skin & What Might Be Driving It:

  • Looking beyond lotions—how dry skin can be a sign of deeper imbalances

  • The gut-skin connection, essential fats, and mineral support

  • Why hydration is more than just drinking water
