Welcome to the SYNC Your Life podcast episode #26! 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 covering what it means to track your menstrual cycle, and how you should go about doing it. This is, by far, step #1 to understanding what's going on with your sex hormone health. Knowing the patterns of any imbalance symptoms is crucial when meeting with your functional medicine practitioner. 

In this episode, I refer to two apps I recommend using for tracking: MyFlo and FitRWoman. 

I also refer to the SYNC scope, a saliva microscope known to be most accurate at detecting ovulation. Whether using it for fertility reasons, to avoid pregnancy, or simply to understand your cycle for cycle syncing, it's an absolute game changer. You can find it here.

Welcome to the SYNC Your Life podcast episode #20! 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 covering my top 10 supplements for women's hormone health. 

Disclaimer: I am not a doctor, and this podcast is not intended to diagnose, treat, or prescribe. Every person is unique in their imbalances and therefore, in their supplemental needs. 

Supplement Overview and Links

1. Adrenal Support -- My go-to brand is Gaia Adrenal Health Daily Support. Be sure your supplement includes ashwaghanda, holy basil, maca, and shisandra.

2. Organifi Gold and Organifi Harmony -- These are great for aiding sleep and helping assist hormone balance. I love mine as bedtime elixirs! (Add a dollop of coconut whip for an extra tasty treat). You can find Gold here, and Harmony here.

3. Magnesium Glycinate -- Magnesium rescues hormones in a variety of ways. Check out this article by Dr. Lara Briden. Glycinate tends to be the best absorbed for most women, with little to no digestive side effects. (Every woman is different). I use this brand.

4. Estrogen detoxifying supplements -- Estrofactors and any form of bioidentical hormone therapy must be prescribed by your functional doctor. DIM can be found here.

5. Probiotic -- Florastor is my go-to choice, but there are hundreds to choose from! Switching it up a couple times a year helps the gut.

6. B complex vitamins and Vitamin C -- The best option for B complex vitamins is a sublingual drop provided by your local compounding pharmacy. I use high potency Vitamin C, found here.

7. Zinc -- Such a powerful supplement, especially for period pain. 

8. Nuun Rest -- Great for post workout recovery, as a bedtime elixir. It includes magnesium and tart cherry, both proven to aid sleep and muscle recovery.

9. BCAAs with L-leucine (in a plant-based, non-dairy formulation) -- My favorite is Beachbody Performance Recover.

10. Cruciferous vegetables -- You can find at your local grocer! These veggies are chock full of natural estrogen detoxifiers, fiber, and powerful nutritional potency. Incorporate up to 8 cups a day! I mention in this episode a microgreens growing kit. I'm excited to start using mine! Check it out here.
