One of the things that has been absolutely pivotal for me in motherhood is understanding and prioritizing nutrition and the role proper nutrition plays in my hormones, energy, mood, mental clarity, and so many other things. For a long time I was the mom surviving on 3-4 cups of coffee and maybe one real meal a day, and I was also exhausted, overwhelmed, and worn out most days. I thought that was normal. I thought that's just how it was for moms. But over the past year or so I've learned a lot about nutrition and one of the most encouraging things for me was realizing how simple it actually is to nourish my body and give it what it needs to thrive. I know this isn’t a health podcast, but I believe that health and leading a joy filled life go hand in hand, which is why I invited my friend Kirsti Troyer.

Kirsti Troyer is a registered dietitian of 8 years who started studying the connection between nutrition and hormones due to her own period problems. She now helps women support their hormones naturally with food. Specifically focusing on improving energy, metabolism and eating in sync with your menstrual cycle.
