Back for a fiery part 2 of my INs for hormone health in 2024! I get real about consistent eating & meal times, the concept of "welcoming food", letting go of the "shoulds" of your menstrual cycle, and finally a heartfelt pep-talk about facing your fears and limiting beliefs when it comes to your body, hormones & ability to heal. REAL TALK!

(Sorry for the audio pops & random noises in this ep! Gotta work on dat sound isolation, love to ur ears).

Yes, it's the 26th of February and YES I still consider it the 'new year'. With that said, here are my naturopathic, functional medicine, hippy-dippy INs for lovin' on your hormones in 2024 (as inspired by that trend of like "what's in and what's OUT for 2024 y'know?).

In this first half of a two-parter, I cover the nitty-gritty of supporting your circadian rhythm (your sleep-wake cycle), and why this is SUPER crucial to balance your hormones. Plus, some nuanced takes on hydration. Don't overlook the simple stuff! More to come in Part 2 next week!

A bit more of a personal share for this ep, about some "ouch" thoughts & feels that rose to the surface recently in regards to my relationship with the Pill (aka oral hormonal contraception).

In a world in which we're so disconnected from our Rites of Passage as females (birth, menarche, pregnancy, menopause, death), little teenage Karinda was looking for meaning & womanly "worthiness" in a pharmaceutical drug that shut off her menstrual cycles & hormone production. How ironic that in looking to feel like more of a woman, I was shutting off the precise biology that is the source of my feminine power.

In this share, I'm processing some of my grief for this past self & debunking the "logic" of putting a whole generation of girls onto synthetic hormones.

"Putting a teenager on hormonal birth control for irregular periods is like taking a sledgehammer to a tiny screw"

She's a chunky one today! I go deep into the big wide world of nutritional medicine, covering why nutrients are crucial for health, how our body relies on nutrients for hormone balance (and overall wellbeing), and how the oral contraceptive pill can cause nutritional depletions or worsen existing deficiencies. There's a lot, but I hope I managed to clarify the complexity to this topic, AND that I've offered you something to think about. Maybe you're feeling the nudge to improve your relationship with food & have a new found appreciation for nutrition!

Today, I wanted to talk about something frequently on my mind, that I witness in myself, loved ones, and clients: resistance to rest. In our menstrual cycle, there are times when naturally, our bodies desire to slow down, go inward & contract. These times - usually in the luteal & menstrual phases - are so important for processing emotions, trauma, limiting beliefs and highlighting where in our lives we need to take action or make adjustments. What happens when we consistently 'push through' these default times for rest and resist slowing down? What are we communicating with our bodies? Personally, and from my clinical perspective, I see this as a huge underlying factor for period pain, pre-menstrual syndrome and other symptoms of hormonal imbalance. This easily adds up to a much bigger picture of 'unwellness', when we consider that each phase of our cycle influences the next, and each cycle influences the next, and so on. It's time to break these societal patterns & make friends with slowing down, stillness and rest. Our health & hormones depend on it.

Welcome to Oh My Menses! I’m so grateful to have you here. As the first episode, I really just rolled with the flow. It felt good to share my story of going through puberty, hormonal experiences, being on the pill as a teen, navigating safe sex and discovering fertility awareness at 17 years old before fully discovering (remembering) Menstrual Cycle Awareness. I know & trust there is healing in the storytelling.

If anything I said resonated with you, or you have a question or something you’d love to hear me talk about, please drop me a line at [email protected]

I have online & in-person naturopathy sessions available where we holistically focus on your body, hormones, menstrual health (and more), and harness the healing power of nature to bring your body back to balance. You can explore working together here
