Ever feel like your body is working against you no matter how “healthy” you try to be?
That’s exactly where I found myself—exhausted, bloated, moody, wired yet tired, and frustrated that nothing was working. So I decided to dig deeper. I ran a DUTCH hormone test on myself… and let’s just say, the results were humbling.
In this raw and honest episode, I’m walking you through what my DUTCH test revealed—and why I now lovingly refer to my hormones as a bit of a “dumpster fire.”
Here’s what I discovered:
🔥 Low estrogen, progesterone, and testosterone
🔥 Sky-high cortisol and androgens
🔥 A sluggish liver that’s not clearing hormones properly
🔥 Signs of possible thyroid dysfunction
🔥 High inflammation levels
But instead of spiraling, I made a plan.
You’ll hear exactly how I’m addressing each issue—step by step—from nervous system support and liver detoxification to nutrition, supplements, and mindset shifts.
This episode isn’t just about me. It’s for every woman who’s felt dismissed, misdiagnosed, or confused about why their body feels broken despite doing “everything right.”
If you’ve ever wondered what your hormone test might say—or what to do when everything is out of whack—this episode is for you.
