  • 31 Diagnosed with endo, hypothyroidism, and MTHFR - sharing my story
    Today's episode is a new beginning for the podcast! I was not expecting or planning (at all) to make this shift and had plans to continue originally in a different direction in this new year. But instead, I felt a pull to open up about my personal journey to learning about my health, hormones, endo, mthfr mutation, and what I am doing about it all. There isn't any nutrition specific talk for today, but we are discussing my background and why I am ready now to start sharing what I am doing personally with all of you. I am so excited to continue forward focusing on female health and hormones and (of course!) nutrition and how you can make those bite-sized changes towards better health for you!
