Ever wonder if that nightly glass of wine or social media scroll is really self-care, or something more sinister? Lindsey and Laken give you the real talk in today's episode, exposing how we often confuse self-sabotage with self-nurturing and why it matters for your long-term health.

Today you'll learn 

• Why the distinction is crucial
• All mabout the common "time" and "money" myths women use to justify skipping health-supporting behaviors. 
• And the neuroscience, we explain why self-sabotaging behaviors trigger short-lived dopamine rushes while genuine self-care activates serotonin and oxytocin
• Practical ways to integrate healthy self-care habits into your day

Most powerfully, the ladies discuss how authentic self-care builds trust with your future self. Each time you choose nourishment over numbing, you're telling yourself: "I see you, I value you, and I'm committed to your wellbeing." This mindset shift transforms self-care from obligation to opportunity.

Ever feel like you're emotionally volatile one minute and fine the next? Waking at 3 AM with racing thoughts? Experiencing unexplainable anxiety despite being generally happy? You might be living in a progesterone desert, and you're not alone.

Today, Lindsey and Laken discuss why progesterone is arguably the most misunderstood hormone in women's health. While commonly associated only with pregnancy and menstruation, this powerful neurosteroid affects everything from your mood and sleep to cognitive function and stress regulation. The shocking truth? Progesterone begins steadily declining in your late 30s, years before menopause, leaving countless women suffering needlessly while being told their hormones are "normal" because they're still having regular periods.

Today, you'll learn:

• Why progesterone matters far beyond reproduction 
• How progesterone creates emotional resilience and mental clarity
• Why women often experience anxiety, sleep disturbances, brain fog, emotional hypersensitivity, and a profound feeling of "losing themselves" when progesterone drops
• Natural ways to support your body's production through nutrition and lifestyle
• And when bioidentical hormone therapy might be necessary

Whether you're in your 30s just beginning to notice subtle changes, navigating the turbulent waters of perimenopause, or well into your post-menopausal years, understanding this forgotten hormone could transform your experience of womanhood. Don't wait until you're officially "menopausal" to address symptoms that might be stemming from low progesterone today.

Hormone therapy is a powerful tool for menopausal women, but many still experience exhaustion and don't feel like themselves even after starting HRT. Today, Women's Health Nurse Practitioner Lindsey Van Schoyck shares why this disconnect happens. Hormones don't operate in isolation—they work within a complex system affected by inflammation, detoxification pathways, gut health, and stress levels and today you'll get to learn all about that and so much more! 👇 

• Inflammation can make hormone receptors less sensitive, preventing effective hormone signaling
• Detoxification pathways determine whether estrogen is properly metabolized or becomes problematic
• Estrogen dominance can occur even on HRT if progesterone is inadequate or cortisol is stealing resources
• Thyroid function is closely linked to estrogen levels and may need additional support
• Gut health plays a crucial role in hormone metabolism through the estrobolome
• Chronic stress creates a sympathetic dominant state that prioritizes survival over healing
• Unresolved trauma and people-pleasing behaviors can block hormone effectiveness
• Basic foundations like sleep, balanced meals, stress management, and joyful movement are essential

If you're struggling with hormone therapy not working and want support from providers who look at the whole picture, we've got you covered. Book a chat and let's see what's up.

On today's show, Lindsey and Laken explore the powerful mindset shift from blame to personal accountability and why this transformation is crucial for anyone feeling stuck in their health journey.

 
Here are some fun facts about this powerful mindset shift:
• Blame feels safe but actually hands over our power to external circumstances
• The neuroscience of blame activates our amygdala (fear center) and deactivates problem-solving abilities
• Accountability activates our prefrontal cortex, helping regulate our nervous system
• Shifting from "I can't because..." to "What can I do?" creates immediate emotional regulation
• Children naturally default to blame - it's a pattern we've been practicing since childhood

The ladies discuss all of this and a ton more, including a practical identity exercise you can do today to start making moves to keep your personal power strong. 

Let's go girls! 💪

Today, the dream team of Laken and Lindsey are back in action discussing the hoopla around perimenopause. Ladies, weight gain after 40 isn't about laziness; it's a physiological response to hormone changes as we enter this season of life. It's common to see women gain approximately three pounds per year in perimenopause. 

Here's a sneak peek at what you'll learn in today's show:

• Perimenopause is a 5-10 year transition starting in late 30s/early 40s
• Perimenopause is the time before menopause (which is just one day when you've gone 12 months without a period)
• Estrogen affects more than reproduction; it impacts blood sugar, muscle, energy, gut health, and brain function
• Muscle loss in perimenopause significantly reduces metabolism

The ladies discuss the 7 root causes of weight gain after 40 and what you can do to prevent those unwanted love handles and low energy, and make these years your absolute best.

Here's what you'll learn:

• How cholesterol serves as the fundamental building block for all your steroid hormones, including estrogen, progesterone, and testosterone
• Why cholesterol management is particularly crucial for women experiencing hormonal changes
• Where the bulk of your cholesterol actually comes from
• Why the mainstream medical model of prescribing statins based solely on LDL numbers overlooks important factors when it comes to cholesterol management

Frustrated with traditional healthcare approaches? We're with you! Most women seeking our help have already done the lab work, been told everything's "normal," received unhelpful medications, or spent thousands on supplements, yet they're still exhausted and struggling. So what gives?

The hard truth is that labs and a consultation alone won't get you the lasting results you're seeking. When women ask if they can just get the blood work and skip the coaching, we have to say no. And not because we're being difficult, but because we genuinely know it won't work.

Healthcare tends to be reactive rather than proactive, placing all responsibility on patients without providing the ongoing support needed to implement meaningful changes. This leads to problems when addressing hormone imbalances, insulin resistance, fatigue, and thyroid dysfunction. These complex issues didn't develop overnight and require more than just a supplement regimen to resolve.

Today you'll learn:

• How most health struggles are deeply connected to lifestyle factors 
• How you can't heal these patterns with information alone
• How our program is your best bet to take your health back into your own hands

If you're tired of band-aid solutions and ready for real, sustainable change in both your physical and mental well-being, we're here to help rebuild your health from the ground up.
