Holistic with Hannah

you know how i feel by now - your body is capable of healing and I'm tired of people thinking that debilitating cycles, extremely heavy flows, and hysterectomies are "the normal"

while you may have been told that those terrible pains were your forever and normal - they don't have to be. (and perhaps you do need conventional intervention - but you can partner that alongside nutrition and lifestyle for more ease)

often times hormone imbalances are the result of not enough building blocks or not enough nutrients, stress, inflammation, endocrine disruptors, and insulin/metabolic dysregulation.

(there is certainly a genetic component -but as the quote

goes "genetics loads the gun and lifestyle pulls the trigger")

-hormones aren't the bad guys, but a way of telling your body that something is off. your body is speaking to you and asking for you to listen.

-usually when we give the body what it needs and work on the foundations (movement, nourishment, sleep and stress) the body starts to heal

- it's not about it being "perfect" but taking steps back towards healings.

and yes while endo, PMOS, infertility, and excess estrogen are different diagnosis - they have similar foundations you can begin to work on. once you have worked the foundation steps, we get to come in with some more specific herbs, labs, or nutrients.

listen in to this weeks episode about walking your body home to health so you can feel more balanced, have more peace, and live the life of good energy you desire.

a lot of us know "the right things to do" or the things we want to do with ourself and our goals - however you find yourself always saying Monday, always getting to the end of the year and saying "okay this is the year"

only for it to never come and you feeling like "i procrastinate, why can't i do the things I want to do, UGH I just can't stay committed - it must not be for me"

wrong!

healing, consistency, being motivated, showing up for yourself is AVAILABLE to you - you may just need some reframes and a better system (hello checklist)

tune in this week to listen in on how to become a person who shows up for themselves, is committed, and motivated - even when its hard.

when you to that - it becomes a different kind of energy and you trust yourself ALWAYS.

happy healing

my favorite episode i have recorded to date - so you know that is good stuff.

I sat down with Rich Larochelle of the Rappahannock Education Farm to discuss how one farm is trying to close the gap on food scarcity in their community.

It's not a secret that certain communities and populations have a harder time accessing healthy foods, whether that be lack of funding, access, availability, the means to prepare fresh foods, or lack of education.

but it's also not a secret that

health = wealth, that nutrition allows folks to heal, feel good, prevent illness, stay alert in school, have energy, show up in life.

The Rappahannock Education Farm is on a mission in Fredericksburg to grow over 100,000lbs of fresh produce and close that food insecurity gap; to get in the hands of community members FOR FREE! And they are doing it.

This episode highlights that when we are walking in our life's purpose, show up together in our unique gifts, work to support not just ourselves but others that anything can happen. Trust. Faith.

So if you have something BIG on your heart - a desire to do something bigger than yourself, to leave an impact in your lifetime, support your community, it's possible for you. You have a gift. You are here for a reason.

Highest gratitude to Rich, if you know him, you know how truly special of a human he is.

Gratitude to the farm for all they provide.

Gratitude to God for bringing us together as humans to support one another and walk each other home

since we are talking about hormones and endocrine this month, this is a re-release of a previous episode - but if it's not broke - don't fix it.

cold hands and toes?

constipated?

brain fog?

feeling heavy and stuck?

hormone imbalance?

what about the opposite...

can't sit still?

constantly revved up?

heart palpitations

anxious?

diarrhea?

it could be your thyroid - but listen up because we're going to get into some action steps AND how your body is capable of healing.

thyroid medication is one of the top medications prescribed in the US - and yet....people still have symptoms

OR

folks are going to their doctor and getting a basic thyroid panel run and being told everything looks normal; and yet when we run a full functional thyroid panel, we find that thyroid conversion isn't happening and so people are still feeling run down, exhausted, fatigued, and struggling with weight gain.

the thyroid sets the pace in your body - revving things up or slowing things down depending on signals. we have to make sure the body sending good signaling, things like inflammation aren't mucking up signaling, and make sure we are giving the body every thing it needs to come into balance - when we do that. thyroid signaling comes back online.

happy healing

When I was exhausted - I felt what it would feel like to have good energy

When I was reactive, I felt like peace and happiness felt like

When I was anxious and nervous but wanted to do something big - I felt what confident business ownership was.

I felt it, became an energetic match for it - and then manifested it into my life.

I now have good energy, have peace with my family, and happily own a business I love. it's not perfect but wow does it feel good!

I used to spend a lot of time analyzing what was wrong with me "I am depressed because" " I never have energy" I can't open a business because", I don't have consistent energy" "I can't stick with things" but by doing that... i was reinforcing those thoughts - solidifying those truths.

One day - I just decided to do it differently. I felt how I wanted my life to feel, saw it, envisioned it, meditated on it, spoke it - all before it was actually here.

I manifested it into my life.

Here is the deal...suffering is optional, who knows why we're here but we get to decide how want life to go going forward Health, healing, and abundance is available to all.

Our brain is POWERFUL and if we stay in that negative feedback loop - that becomes our truth.

If we show our brain what we want - over and over and over again - that becomes our new truth.

Knowing that is true for you, how would you rather feel? Confident? Strong? Healthy? Energetic? Owner of an Airstream? To have abundance and support people who support the Earth? Travel?

Yes it may feel a little woo woo or far out, but why not try if everything else is feeling stuck?

If you are curious how manifestation can support your health, energy, and life - check out this weeks podcast.

struggling with hormone imbalance? infertility? thyroid issues? cortisol and adrenal burnout? estrogen imbalance?

here's the deal - they have ALOT in common - because they they originate in the same area of the brain and are affected by similar inputs.

before we deep dive into thyroid, estrogen, adrenals - start here. start with the basics. the foundations. that is what is going to get you 80% of the way to your goal.

in todays episode we discuss what hormones are, how they are made, and what down regulates them or makes them wonky.

we of course talk about some things you can begin doing today to bring them back in balance.

as always - foundations first and the body is capable of healing.

beauty is much more than skin deep- however when our skin and outside world feels vibrant - we feel it on the inside whether that is feeling confident, radiant, or vital.

our skin is the bodies outside way of telling us what is going on on the inside

in holistic or herbal medicine when there is persistent acne, psoriasis, eczema flares, or quite frankly dull skin...we look to one place - the gut + detox organs.

when our detox organs aren't detoxing appropriately, shit starts to come out sideways in the skin.

when we work on gut health, gut restoration, detox organ support and in most cases the immune system - the skin shines for us.

tune in this week as we discuss the connection between the gut and the skin and how you can begin healing to both your internal and external worlds <3

How to jumpstart your health when you know all the things to do- but just aren't doing them!

Most of us know the right things to do to stay healthy - eat good food, workout, sleep, etc. and yet...we still don't do them.

Why?

If you need some motivation OR inspiration to step back into a healthy lifestyle- this episode is for you.

If you're soul is feeling a flutter with wanting to feel healty again, feel that good good energy, that vitality but you need a jumpstart - this episode is for you.

if you're exhausted, low energy, fatigued and you're just wanting to get reved up and moving again but can't figure out where to start - THIS EPISODE IS FOR YOU.

This week we're talking about WHY we know the right things to do and choose otherwise, but HOW to step back into alignment.

How to create EASY action steps to get us back in rhythm. We call it the snowball effect "sometimes we just need a little push, but eventually that snowball is rolling down the mountain, we gain momentum and you're on your A game again!"

Ready to feel great

this weeks episode - we're talking about gallbladder + bile health. sexy huh? however. it's in tune with the season of spring - detox, release, free flowing.

cholecystectomy's are one of the most common surgeries done in the united states and often discussed with patients as "oh just a quick and easy removal- NBD"

NO. it is a big deal - divine made no mistakes when making these bodies and we can't just snip snip things out WITHOUT trying to do something about it first. that's not to say there isn't a time and place for surgery - but careless removal ain't it.

when i work with clients who have had gallbladder removal surgeries - the number one thing I hear is "I wish I would have known these things before hand to try them out first"

so this week - we're talking about how to keep your gallbladder healthy for the long haul.

signs you may need this little bit of gallbladder TLC are:

right upper quadrant pain or between the shoulders with high fat foods

jaundice (yellowing of eyes, nail beds, mucous membranes)

inability to digest fatty foods

burping up fish oils

oil slick in the toilet

clay-colored or white stools

inability to absorb fat soluble vitamins D,A,K,E

sluggish digestion, diarrhea/constipation

tune in and stay healthy out there.

dull skin, constipation, puffy eyes, brain fog, feeling heavy, exhausted, low energy, heavy, sluggish? NO MORE! this episode is for you.

by following the wheel of the year - as humans we are called to lighten up, detox, and clear out our systems in the spring for vitality, wellness, and clear energy!

think of the call to spring clean our closets and garages and how energetically freeing it feels to get out those old boxes. we can feel that same relief and peace in our body by following these steps

- stop bringing in more for the body to detox i.e endocrine disruptors, fragrances, dyes, pesticides

- support phase 3 detox and daily bowel movements

- use hepatoprotective herbs

- nutrients that support liver health

-sauna + sweat therapy

learn what detox means, how our bodies were designed to do it, and action steps you can begin to take today to feel lighter, clearer, and more vibrant using herbs, foods, and lifestyle tricks.
