If you're on Instagram and tik tok following tons of influencers trying to piece together your health, you likely feel overwhelmed, confused, and feel like you're doing the absolute most for your health (without the results). In this episode, I am here to de influence you - the wellness industry overcomplicates health. Sometimes you don't need another fancy protocol, $500 in supplements, or spending $$$ on the next trend. Maybe you just need to simplify it. 

In this episode, Coach Cate addresses cutting out gluten and dairy, when it makes sense, do you need to cut them out forever, and understanding why your body may be reacting poorly to gluten + dairy. 

If you've ever thought "I eat healthy, why am I always bloated?" - Coach Cate breaks down why just cutting out gluten and dairy might not be the answer. She talks through the biggest drivers of bloating, what is happening inside your gut, and how to fix it. 

In this episode, Coach Cate breaks down the nuance of PCOS - why it's so hard to manage symptoms, why just losing weight never works, and how to actually see results when managing PCOS symptoms. She also walks through the 4 different types of PCOS and the common misconceptions that women believe about PCOS. 

You may have a long list of symptoms. Your period is tough - painful, heavy, intense PMS - but it's not your main concern. Your gut is. You're bloated, constipated, digestion feels off, you look pregnant after eating. But your gut issues and your menstrual issues are connected. And this episode connects the dots.

Coach Cate dives into the different types of hormonal birth control, how they work, and how do you know which option is right for you. You may be experiencing symptoms you don't even realize are connected. AND Coach Cate walks through how to advocate for yourself so you can make a choice that is best for you (not rushed, out of fear, or pressured). 

In this episode, Coach Cate talks about why you would choose to or to not go on hormonal birth control. She talks about her story with birth control, and what she had learned after being on the pill and losing her period for 5+ years. 

Hormonal birth control is a powerful tool - one that is very helpful for some and might not be the answer for others. We deserve to know your options, the pros and cons, and have an honest conversation about it. 

This episode is not to tell you what you should or shouldn't do - but to give you information that will help you make an informed decision that is best for YOU. 

Happy International Women's Day! This special episode explains the myths that women have been taught to believe when it comes to menstrual health. Coach Cate also gives you strategies to find pockets of time in your day to fill your cup. Women are tired, crampy, bleeding, and still expected to show up like nothing is wrong. And I want you to know that you don't have to just survive anymore.

You deserve to be celebrated this International Women's Day.

In this episode, Coach Cate talks about the difference between normal and optimal lab ranges, why the insurance-based lab system leaves women feeling dismissed, and what your symptoms are telling you (even if your labs are normal). 

After listening to this episode, you should feel confident to ask your doctor (and how to ask) for more in depth lab work. And if you do get your labs back, and don't know what to do with the results, this is what I do inside my coaching program - review your lab work from a functional lens, help you create a plan including nutrition, movement, and lifestyle habits - to start reversing your symptoms and bring your lab ranges into a functional range so you can stop surviving, but start thriving!
