SYNC Your Life Podcast

Welcome to the SYNC Your Life podcast episode #112! On this podcast, we will be diving into all things women's hormones to help you learn how to live in alignment with your female physiology. Too many women are living with their check engine lights flashing. You know you feel "off" but no matter what you do, you can't seem to have the energy, or lose the weight, or feel your best. This podcast exists to shed light on the important topic of healthy hormones and cycle syncing, to help you gain maximum energy in your life.

In today's episode, I'm diving into the superpowers of magnesium when it comes to rescuing hormones. Did you know that 95% of humans are magnesium deficient? Our soils have been depleted over time, causing this mineral deficiency from our diets. Yet modern medicine is often not recommending magnesium to folks suffering from things like fatigue, trouble sleeping, anxiety, migraines, PCOS, and more.

In this episode, I share how magnesium helps hormone balance, the various forms of magnesium, and so much more.

I reference the previous two podcast episodes from SYNC Your Life:

PCOS: A Deep Dive

Top Supplements for Hormone Health

The science-backed research in this article comes from Dr. Lara Briden. Specifically, this blog post.

My favorite form of magnesium that has made the most difference for me is magnesium glycenate, also doted by Dr. Briden as being the type she prescribes most. Talk to your doctor about what form is right for you.

Welcome to the SYNC Your Life podcast episode #111! On this podcast, we will be diving into all things women's hormones to help you learn how to live in alignment with your female physiology. Too many women are living with their check engine lights flashing. You know you feel "off" but no matter what you do, you can't seem to have the energy, or lose the weight, or feel your best. This podcast exists to shed light on the important topic of healthy hormones and cycle syncing, to help you gain maximum energy in your life.

In today's episode, I'm interviewing Kelsey Jack, Nutritional Therapist and founder of Wholly Well Academy. We dive deep into adrenal burnout, blood sugar regulation, mineral deficiency, how many women eat as opposed to how they should eat, and so much more.

Kelsey's health issues started young when she struggled with chronic ear infections and was prescribed too many antibiotics to count. Later in life, she started noticing erratic energy, chronic sports injuries, and skin issues. Her health issues spilled into college while long distance running at Baylor University. Soon before getting married she became medically injured. She broke out in full body skin lesions, developed chronic anxiety, chronic UTIs, and severe adrenal fatigue. After getting pregnant with her daughter, she developed severe insomnia, and after a traumatic labor, noticeable PTSD.

Completely fed up with the traditional medical model of care, and getting an "answer" that always included a prescription or bandaid, she went on a quest to get real answers and find true healing. After finding some answers and doing self-healing work, she started implementing solutions from several holistic practitioners and listening to every podcast she could about adrenals and how they affect mood, anxiety, sleep and so much more. She saw a naturopath and chiropractor consistently, and her panic attacks and sleep started to resolve slowly. But there was one missing component: Nutrition.

Her health difficulties sparked a whole new interest in learning and listening to our bodies, how nutritional deficiencies manifest in the body, and so much more. A friend recommended the Nutritional Therapy Association and she enrolled the next day.

Her passion is now to help others save hours of research, trial and error, and guessing, and really get to the root cause of their chronic fatigue, mood and sleep imbalances. She teaches others about the serious effects of HPA Axis dysregulation and blood sugar imbalance in the body and how it can lead to common struggles like anxiety, depression, hormone imbalance, fatigue, insomnia, inability to properly manage stress, and so much more.

She recently launched The Fatigue Blueprint Program, a 3 month telehealth program with a high level education portal, specialty functional lab testing, 2x/month private consultations, and live and post recorded group coaching. (thewhollywellacademy.com/client-application)

Welcome to the SYNC Your Life podcast episode #104! On this podcast, we will be diving into all things women's hormones to help you learn how to live in alignment with your female physiology. Too many women are living with their check engine lights flashing. You know you feel "off" but no matter what you do, you can't seem to have the energy, or lose the weight, or feel your best. This podcast exists to shed light on the important topic of healthy hormones and cycle syncing, to help you gain maximum energy in your life.

In today's episode, I'm diving into what most women do to lose weight in the new year thanks to resolutions, as opposed to what women SHOULD be doing. Most women have a calories in, calories out approach to weight loss. They believe that lessening their calorie intake and exercising more is the key to weight loss, when in reality, that is putting women in a state of Low Energy Availability and causes them to give up on their goals due to fatigue and lack of results. We MUST factor in our hormone health and our caloric needs as women. In this episode, I dive into the science behind female caloric needs, including macronutrient needs, and how to best approach a weight loss plan in 2023.

In this show, I refer to this blog article written by Dr. Stacy Sims, along with her book, ROAR, found here.

I also reference this previous SYNC Your Life episode on Proper Protein Intake for Women.
