It's time for another Q&A Thursday and I have some good ones!

Today I'm answering these questions: 

How does a hormonal IUD like Mirena affect your hormones and cycles and how can you support hormones while on it?

Is BBT tracking helpful in perimenopause?

What castor oil pack/castor oil do I reccomend?

How do you track BBTs when you're sick?

If you want to prevent pregnancy naturally how far ahead of time do you need to start tracking and what resources do I recommend for learning to use tracking as natural birth control?

Today I have an episode for you that's all about what you can do for FREE to support happier hormones, and it's really amazing how far these tips will go for you if you implement them!

We get into all of the "fancy" things we can do - red light therapy, a million hormone supplements, cold plunges, etc but what if we just got back to basics and work with our bodies in the most simple ways we can that are just as effective (if not more) than all of these things that cost hundreds of dollars and are probably more of a fad than anything.

As always, when we're overcomplicating everything, it's probably not helping our hormones so let's do things more simply this summer.

One more FREE way to support your hormones is to take my free quiz to see which of the top 3 hormone imbalances are affecting you so you can take simple action steps and start to feel better.

If you have had period pain - this episode is for YOU! I was so excited to hear Valentina share her story and research about women's health on another podcast that I knew I had to have her on as a guest here. 

Today we're talking about painful periods, and although I believe that when there is period pain there's always an underlying reason, I'm also always interested in ways to relieve symptoms as soon as possible, especially when it's done naturally.  Valentina has created not only the safest tampons on the market, but has actually created a tampon that relieves period pain within 15 minutes for 80-85% of the women who use it.

Basal body temperatures are one of my favorite tools to understand your hormones and cycles better, so I'm going even deeper today into some of the things your chart is telling you that you are probably missing.

If you haven't started BBT tracking yet or want the 101 - go back to Episodes 59 and 61 to learn how to start and what to look for.

Today you'll learn more about how to know when and if you're ovulating, what it means if you ovulate early or late, and how to know if you're making enough progesterone or too much estrogen - just by taking your temp in the morning!

Welcome back to the Happily Hormonal podcast! Today I'm excited to share an inspiring story of healing through homesteading.

My guest, Jocelyn Jennings, is a stay-at-home mom of two who teaches others about homesteading through her podcast, The Farm Family Table. After struggling for years with PCOS, she decided to take her health into her own hands. Jocelyn dove deep into researching holistic solutions but found herself overwhelmed trying various diets and supplements.

That's when she realized the power of simple lifestyle changes. Embracing the homesteading lifestyle allowed Jocelyn to slow down, be more intentional with her time, and connect with her food in a meaningful way.

By reducing stress and immersing herself in hands-on activities like gardening, she experienced significant improvements in her energy levels and overall well-being.
Listen in as Jocelyn shares how homesteading transformed her health, and how it can do the same for you.

In this episode:

• [01:50] Get to know Jocelyn and learn how she got into homesteading through her own health journey with PCOS
• [05:30] The decision to heal naturally after resisting doctors' recommendations for birth control and other drugs to treat PCOS symptoms
• [08:56] Back to the basics: starting a garden, baking bread, and focusing on whole foods over diets and supplements
• [19:36] Slowing down and finding balance for mental health and reducing stress
• [22:04] Tips for beginners on starting in the kitchen and gardening without overwhelm

Hey friend, 

Today's episode is really personal, I'm sharing what my family has been going through for the past 2 years - it's taken me a while to be ready to share this story! We've gone through a journey I never expected with my youngest son, 2 houses, and God has been so good through all of it! 

As I've been reflecting over our journey I've also been reflecting over how I can continue to show up and serve you well both here on the podcast and in my coaching programs, and I have some exciting updates coming in this episode and more info coming soon. 

One of my big reflections in this episode is how staying nourished as a mom has been GAME CHANGING in being able to continue to feel good through consistent and long term stress, and how hormone balance has helped make everything better. (really!)
