In this week’s episode of Hormone Health Class, I’m walking you through Katelyn’s powerful case study—one that started with years of irregular periods, daily spotting, fatigue, and infertility struggles. After feeling dismissed by conventional care and frustrated with “normal” labs, she came to me ready to dig deeper.

Together, we uncovered hidden imbalances through HTMA testing, supported her metabolism and minerals, and built a targeted plan for healing. The results? Not only did her spotting improve and energy return, but Katelyn also got the positive pregnancy test she had been hoping for.

If you’ve ever felt stuck with PCOS, irregular cycles, or unexplained infertility, this episode will give you a behind-the-scenes look at what functional testing and root-cause support can do.

Is your metabolism really “broken”—or is it just misunderstood? In this episode, I break down what metabolism actually is, how it influences everything from weight loss to energy to period health, and the hidden habits that may be slowing it down.

You’ll learn:

• The truth about what metabolism does in your body
• Signs your metabolism needs support (fatigue, cravings, hair loss, period struggles, and more)
• Everyday habits that down-regulate metabolism (like undereating, stress, or poor sleep)
• Simple, practical ways to naturally boost your metabolism—without punishing workouts or restrictive diets

Your metabolism isn’t broken—it just needs the right support. By the end of this episode, you’ll understand how to influence your metabolic health so you can feel energized, balanced, and confident again.

Plus, hear about my 8-week Metabolic Reset program designed to help women restore energy, support hormones, and reach their health goals sustainably.

Cortisol often gets labeled as the “bad stress hormone,” but the truth is—it’s essential for energy, metabolism, and even sleep. The problem isn’t cortisol itself, but when it becomes imbalanced. In this episode, I’m breaking down what cortisol actually does in your body, the difference between high and low cortisol symptoms, and why both can leave you feeling off. You’ll learn practical ways to support your cortisol rhythm through light exposure, stress management, minerals, and the right type of exercise. I also answer listener questions like why you feel exhausted in the morning but wired at night, and whether stress really can stall weight loss.

If you’ve ever wondered whether your cortisol levels are “off,” this episode will give you clarity, tools, and next steps for supporting your hormones and metabolism.

After three back-to-back pregnancies and a year of breastfeeding each time, I’m finally ready to pursue intentional fat loss—without wrecking my hormones. In this episode I share the metabolism-first, blood-sugar-aware plan I’m using to drop 15–20 pounds sustainably. I walk you through why I’m starting now as I wean Cade, the labs I’m watching (A1C, fasting insulin), and the 5 things I refuse to do: track every single calorie, give up favorite foods, work out 7 days a week, cut all carbs, or sacrifice my hormones.

You’ll hear the simple habits I’m doubling down on for thyroid, cortisol, and glucose balance, plus details about my 8-week Metabolic Reset group (labs optional) if you want to do this alongside me. If you’re over extreme diets and want results that actually last, this one’s for you.

In this solo episode, I’m taking you behind the scenes of a recent client case that’s so relatable. This mom of three is trying to reclaim her hormones and feel better in her body—without cooking a separate “healthy” meal while her family eats something else.

Sound familiar?
 We’re talking about the emotional and logistical tug-of-war between nourishing your body and feeding your (often picky) family. I share how I personally navigate this in my own home with a husband who won’t touch a vegetable and a toddler who only recently started eating meat again.

You’ll hear:

• Why I don’t believe in cooking two different dinners
• The mindset shift that makes nutrition feel more doable (and less all-or-nothing)
• How to upgrade your meals without a total overhaul
• My go-to strategy for balancing family food preferences with hormone health goals

This episode is practical, judgment-free, and full of realistic tips for busy women who want to feel better without becoming a short-order cook.

👉 Plus, I’ll share how to get your hands on my free Hormones 101 private podcast series if you’re ready to start feeling like yourself again.
