The Superwoman Code

This is biohacking to the enth degree... using what's already in your body - your hormones.

Your hormones are your body's ultimate hack. In this episode, you'll be introduced to how to harness your estrogen, progesterone and, yup, testosterone to support your productivity goals at work, with your personal life and maybe even your side hustle.

This is how you work smarter to get sh*t done, not harder.

Are your hormones making you gain weight?

Meet one of the woman who inspires me every day. Naturopathic Doctor, Dr. Jordan Robertson.

She is one of the leading Naturopathic Doctors in the country, she is a research nerd, she HATES cauliflower rice, and she pushes me to do better every day. She also understand hormones in a way that makes me want to do better.

Today's episode of The Superwoman Code dives into Jordan's brain - and whether there is a connection between your hormones and your weight? Tune in. You might be surprised where the research lies.

One of the most common conversations I have in my office is around the connection between stress and weight. It's a conversation that soooooo many of my patients tip-toe around. In a whisper voice saying, "oh, and I think I've gained some weight..."

Weight changes are an important part of the conversation - especially when you haven't changed anything else in your life. And most of the time, when it comes to weight, food and exercise aren't a major part of the conversation.

It's too simple to say "Eat Better" and "Exercise More" - that conversation isn't good enough in my office. In my office, it's connecting the dots between hormones, stress, sleep, movement and nutrition.

And that's what todays episode is all about.

Today on this episode of The Superwoman Code, we are joined by Jennifer Moss.

She is a published author, speaker, start-up cofounder and Harvard Business Review author who is just as obsessed with understanding burnout as Dr. Ashley is. This conversation is one for the history books.

In this episode, Jennifer and Dr. Ashley dive into why burnout is so misunderstood, the role that your companies and organizations need to be playing (hint, it's not about lunch time yoga or downloading that CALM app) and how women are leaving the work force in record numbers at the year anniversary of COVID.

They touch on the strategies they both use during their day to days to manage their own workloads, what Jennifer is researching these days for her work with Plasticity Labs, CBC and Harvard Business Review - and her new book, The Burnout Epidemic (currently in presale).

This episode will make you realize that the burnout you're feeling today is a result of years of company decisions, hiring practices and a societal expectation that is disproportionally affecting young professionals and women.

Listen in - and then connect with Dr. Ashley to tell her how you're going to start building resiliency in your own life.

The birthday episode is something I always look forward to, but this year was different. This episode was hard to record, because a week after last year's birthday episode the whole world... you know... went into lockdown. So, when it comes to thinking about where growth has been and what lessons I have learnt; let's just say my 30's have been a little rough.

Or maybe they haven't.

There was a lot of grief that came up as I recorded this episode, but there was also a new theory I'm working on living and breathing - and that's about engaging with joy.

We're not passengers in our own lives, we're driving the bus - and it's high time we chased joy with the same excitement we do a wedding, a graduation or a job.

Engage with joy. Lesson number one of 31.

I believe that good self-care is preventative in nature, just like good health care.

Today on the podcast, I'm walking you through how you can sync your self care to different parts of your hormonal cycle. From how you can optimize your exercise and nutrition in your highly energetic follicular phase, to how you can support the huge hormonal fluctuations that come with your luteal phase. Turns out, you should exercise, sleep, eat and practice self care differently depending on where your hormones are at.

Tune in to find out how.

How important is sleep?

It's one of the most common areas my patients and I dive into in our appointments.

If you're not sleeping, you're not recovering.

But... what happens when there are external events impacting your ability to sleep well?

Like... kids waking up?

Today on the podcast I sit down with Certified Sleep Consultant, Lindsay Lewis, to discuss sleep patterns in kids, why building a sleep routine is SO critical for developing good sleep habits and what we as adults can do to support our own sleep as well.

If there's anything I've learnt from literally treating thousands of women for burnout it's that the women who are "doing it all" are really good at setting boundaries, and knowing which balls will bounce when you drop them, and which ones will break.

Today on the podcast I'm talking about balls... the kind we juggle.

Tune in to learn more about one of the ways I've structured my life to support my health... and yours. But, just so we're both on the same page... no body can actually do it all.

This episode should also probably be titled "how to find motivation when you're totally burnt out without burning yourself out more".

As we jump into this episode I'm chatting all about the sciencey stuff - like cortisol, adrenaline and your cortisol awakening response, and some really important theories around structuring your day.

These theories include the knowledge behind decision fatigue, the victim triangle versus the circle of self-responsibility, and why you need to know where your compass is pointing.

Plus, a few key points if you ever want to learn how to sail.

Enjoy Superwoman!
