Ever feel like your body is speaking a language you don’t quite understand?

In this final episode of Season 1 of Healthy You Naturally, Diane answers your most pressing questions about hormones, healing, and how to know when something’s “off”—even if your labs say everything’s fine.

This isn’t about chasing perfect test results. It’s about learning to read the signals your body sends—from stubborn weight gain and irritability to brain fog and poor sleep—and knowing how to respond with rhythm, not restriction.

Through her decades of experience and the BodyWELL Method, Diane shares how to stop fearing perimenopause, menopause, or mystery symptoms—and instead, build a foundation of trust, resilience, and long-term support.

Because healing isn’t about silencing symptoms. It’s about learning to listen to what they’re trying to say.

You’ll learn: 🌿 How to know if your hormones are off—even without lab testing 🥚 The essential role of daily rhythms like protein-rich breakfasts, bowel movements, and sleep 💥 Why “balancing” hormones doesn’t mean controlling them—and what true support actually looks like 🧠 What it really means to reset your hormones naturally (hint: it’s not a one-time switch) 🧘‍♀️ The difference between building hormonal resilience vs. maintaining it—and why both matter 💊 Whether you need to take herbs forever—or just during the rough patches 🔥 How to approach perimenopause and menopause without fear (yes, it can feel empowering) 💫 Why feeling vibrant after 50 isn’t just possible—it’s your right

✨ My takeaway? “Your hormones aren’t broken. They’re just overwhelmed. And when you meet them with care instead of control, your body remembers how to feel better—at every age.”

Ever feel like your emotions hijack your week—before your period even starts? In this episode of Healthy You Naturally, Diane unpacks the real reason PMS hits like a freight train—from sudden tears and snapping at loved ones to cravings you swore you wouldn’t give in to.

This isn’t just “that time of the month.” It’s your body waving a white flag, asking for support, rhythm, and relief. Diane breaks down what’s actually going on behind the mood swings, breast tenderness, fatigue, and late-night sugar hunts—and how you can finally respond with clarity, not self-blame.

Drawing on 30+ years of expertise and her BodyWELL Method, Diane offers a compassionate, whole-body approach to understanding hormonal shifts—one that honors your biology, your nervous system, and your emotional landscape.

Because you’re not broken. You’re just out of rhythm—and rhythm can be restored.

You’ll learn: 🌊 Why PMS symptoms like mood swings and breast tenderness are chemical—not character flaws 🧁 What causes cravings even when you’re “eating clean” (and how blood sugar, stress, and hormones are all tangled up) 🧠 How estrogen, progesterone, and brain chemicals like serotonin impact your emotions more than you think 🔥 The four PMS patterns: emotional shifts, cravings, adrenal fatigue, and lymph stagnation—and how to spot yours 🌿 The herbal formulas Diane uses to gently restore balance (and which ones to start with first) 💫 Practical ways to support your lymph, gut, and liver so you feel lighter—physically and emotionally

Are you feeling tired, cold, or just a bit off? It might be your thyroid that's trying to get your attention. In today's fast-paced world, we often overlook the tiny gland that plays a tremendous role in our overall wellbeing.

In this episode, we'll explore the importance of thyroid health, what symptoms to look out for, and how to support your thyroid naturally. We also cover the importance of understanding how interconnected systems like the gut, liver, and adrenal glands play a significant role in thyroid function.
