The Superwoman Code

A business mentor of mine once taught me to make business decisions based off my capacity.

That was four years ago.

Today, I work with my patients to achieve the same goal: to manage their capacity to adapt.

To do this, we have to take into account both external factors, and internal factors for change. We take into account where we are at in our cycles, and we take into account the timeline of what we are trying to achieve.

In short, we have to be aware of our body's capacity in order to understand how well we are able to adapt to scenarios.

Can our moods be impacted by our hormones? Yes. Dramatically so. From estrogen fluctuations, to pre menstrual syndrome, to premenstrual dysphoric disorder, to yes... just recognizing that you can feel more depressed some times, and more anxious other times. There is research behind this and I dive into how you can support your emotions and your mood by supporting your hormones. Stay super, Superwoman!

Are you ready to get in the flow with your flow? This episode is dedicated to everything heavy, bloody and flowy... yes. Today on the podcast I'm talking about how you can understand if your period is heavy, what a typical flow should look like, and some options to talk with your medical provider about if you're suffering from a heavy flow.

Things we talk about on this episode? A proper flow should be 6-8tsp of blood Iron Bisglycinate or Heme-Iron to replenish Ginger to slow flow NSAIDs (yup!) to slow flow & help with pain Tranexamic Acid to slow flow

Yes. A combination of conventional and natural is best, especially in this case.

On today's episode, founder of CanPrev Tanya Salituro and I are chatting about the things we have learnt, and what lessons we want to pass on to our daughters.

It seemed like the perfect transition from last weeks episode about Tanya's story to think about what the next generation of women looks like, and how we can raise them to be strong and in touch with their bodies.

In this episode we talk about the effect that media has on our self worth, guilt, and what it means to give ourselves permission.

It was a beautiful episode, and since we recorded it I have been playing it back anytime I need a little gentle reminder to give myself a bit more love.

When Tanya Salituro faced Cancer for the last time, it was like she had come full circle... for the third time.

This mom of four and founder of CanPrev (one of Canada's leading Nutraceutical companies) had been here before. In fact, she had been here twice before. Knowing that something was off, something wasn't quite right and something had to change.

Today Tanya is sharing her story and we got the chance to dive into how purpose drives us, what it means to trust our bodies and how we can "tune in" to our bodies.

Tuning In is something Tanya is passionate about, both in a literal and figurative sense. I have never felt so listened to during a podcast (and I'm the one asking questions!) and I took away some amazing points about how we can learn to tune into our own needs, and wants.

I can't wait to hear what you think, Superwomen.

On today's episode of The Superwoman Code, I'm talking about one of my favourite things; building the next generation of super humans.

Or maybe... how to eliminate some of that stress that google gives you once you start looking at prenatals.

I'm diving into the science behind absorption and B vitamins, what "baby-brain" actually means, I explain why not all folates are designed equally (and why 5-MTHFR is the most hilarious and hard thing to say five times fast), I'm chatting about what foods we might want to keep in our fridge, and why not all prenatal vitamins are worth it.

This episode is helpful even if you're not planning on building a super human anytime soon (or if you're already built them!). So enjoy, Superwoman!

On today's episode of The Superwoman Code, I'm chatting all about how burnout effects women specifically.

From the effect the HPA Axis has on our digestive system, to our hormones and to our sleep patterns, our body's resiliency capacity can be tested in many different ways. The harder your body has to work to keep things on an even keel, the more likely you are to burn out.

To top it off, I'm sharing some of the research on Rhodiola and Ashwaganda (otherwise known as adaptogens) and their ability to decrease our perceived stress and serum cortisol levels, how magnesium can help your sleep quality and why vinegar is the missing ingredient to every single meal you're eating.

You heard me right. Vinegar.

Today on the show we are joined by one of my favourite people, and best of friends, Dr. Laura von Hagen, ND. She is a naturopathic doctor in Ontario, and literally walks the walk when it comes to understanding PCOS and fertility.

On this episode we are diving into what it's like to get pregnant with PCOS, questions you should be asking your medical team and what it's like to consider Assisted Reproductive Therapies. We also chat about what's going on when it looks like PCOS, but it isn't.

You can follow Laura online at the following links: website instagram

See you next week, Superwoman!

The hallmark sign of PCOS isn't actually what you think it is... it all comes down to blood sugars. 70-90% of women diagnosed with PCOS have something known as insulin resistance.

In this episode, we're talking about what insulin resistance is, how to support your blood sugars, how to avoid reactive hypoglycaemia and how your blood sugars affect your periods. I also give you a few key ideas about nutrition and supplements - but talk to your medical team first, won't you?

Think irregular cycles, heavy bleeding, weird spotting and odd discharge is just the norm? Think again.

PCOS shows itself in a variety of areas, and your menstrual cycle is the one that definitely has the most amount of research behind it. But don't worry, this podcast isn't about how to get pregnant (that one is coming!) it's about how to regulate your cycle so you can not worry about when your next period is coming, why your skin is breaking out or why you're just so freaking tired.

Your hormones are more than a pregnancy, and this is a fun one.
