Finally, an about me episode that you all have been asking for! I answer all of your questions so that you may get to know ME more, the woman behind peace. love. hormones., a brand whose mission is to empower and educate women and those with menstrual cycles to take back control of their menstrual health through natural, herbal remedies and educational platforms. 

Why? You may ask... Because PMS and period pain are common but NOT normal, and we are on a mission to help you all feel your healthiest and happiest. Also, periods are beautiful and it's time to put away the shame and taboo.

Preview: I was very sick for most of my life. I went in and out of the conventional medical system only to get sicker. Finally, I found naturopathy and herbalism. I finally started to get better. I went back to school for herbalism and natural, integrative medicine, and now I help others feel their best!

Get ready for a juicy episode. I am joined by Dr. Nathan Riley, holistic OBGYN, to discuss various topics concerning women's menstrual and overall health. 

Dr. Nathan Riley is a holistic OBGYN and owner of Beloved Holistics. At Beloved Holistics, we envision a world in which birthing people are worshipped as the sacred convergence point of the physical, etheric, astral, and other subtle bodies. We envision conception, birth, and death as the natural consequence of love, the creative force of the universe, which is a direct experience with the divine. In this world, we thrive through our co-creation with soil, life, planet, and the cosmos.

Did you know that you are not fertile every day of your cycle? Rather, there are 6-7 days per cycle that you are fertile and have a chance of conception if unprotected sex were to occur. You may have heard of the fertility awareness method (FAM) before, but did you know that this is an umbrella term for various fertility awareness methods? In today’s blog post, I will break down each of the 5 fertility awareness-based methods. To learn more, listen to this podcast episode discussing the symptothermal method, the method that Dr. Mona (episode guest) and I both use and teach.

Seed cycling - fad or truth? In this episode of the peace. love. hormones. podcast, I go over the research we have, and don't have, on the efficacy of seed cycling for your hormone health. I am all for rituals when it comes to our beautiful and divine feminine cycles! However, you may be surprised by my approach to "seed cycling."

Listen to this episode of the peace. love. hormones. podcast to take charge of your hormone health! Polycystic ovarian syndrome (PCOS) is a common diagnosis that affects about 10% of women and is primarily a problem with ovulation. It is defined as a group of symptoms relating to anovulation, lack of ovulation, and a high level of male sex hormones, androgens.

Listen and learn which micronutrients I recommend supplementing for optimized period health! When it comes to micronutrients, we need them ALL. However, you don’t need to supplement each one of them as you can get a lot from food alone. I want to cover 4 micronutrients that are essential for period health, fully acknowledging that one may need more depending on what they are struggling with. I recommend consulting with your trusted healthcare practitioner if you need support. For more micro and macronutrient information and support, check out my podcast show notes below.

You may want to reconsider your relationship with hormonal contraceptive, especially the pill, Nuvaring, patch, etc.. The hormonal contraceptive pill switches OFF our hormones, our ovaries, ovulation, and our HPA axis communication. It does this in the short and long term and causes short and long term health effects.
