Women's Wellness Wisdom: Hormones and Beyond

In today's episode, we're talking all about the gut microbiome and why gut health can be connected to so many different areas of our overall health! We dive into the importance of understanding what's actually happening inside your gut and why stool testing can be such a valuable tool when looking for the root cause of ongoing symptoms.

We also discuss taking a functional approach to gut health, what stool testing can tell us, and why addressing the underlying cause may be more helpful than simply treating individual symptoms. If you've been dealing with digestive issues or symptoms that seem completely unrelated to your gut, this episode is a great place to start understanding the bigger picture!

In this episode, Adrienne and I talk about thyroid health and why so many women are told their labs are “normal” even when they know they don’t feel like themselves.

We talk about why thyroid issues can be easy to miss, what it can look like when something isn't quite right, and why it’s worth paying attention to those symptoms instead of simply writing them off as normal.

Sometimes your body is telling you something before your labs do.

In this episode, Adrienne and I talk about postpartum hormones and why so many women still don't feel like themselves months or even years after having a baby.

Fatigue, anxiety, brain fog and mood changes can get treated as just part of being a mom, but a lot of the time they're signs the body hasn't fully recovered. Adrienne is six months postpartum herself, so this one comes straight from what she's living through. Recovery doesn't stop at that six-week checkup, and we talk about what can still be going on months and even years later.

We also talk about practical ways to support that recovery through nutrition, blood sugar and cortisol regulation, movement, sunlight, and building your support team before the baby even arrives. Plus why guessing with supplements isn't the move, what labs to look at, and how to know when it's worth digging a little deeper.

In this episode Adrienne and I talk about the connection between gut health and hormones, something a lot of people never think to link together. The gut plays a huge role in breaking down estrogen, and when that process breaks down, it shows up as hormonal symptoms. Leaky gut fits into this too, and it can look like brain fog, skin issues or painful periods, not just digestion problems. By the end of this one you'll understand why the gut is often the missing first step in fixing hormonal imbalances.

We also talk about practical ways to support gut health through nutrition, blood sugar balance, managing stress, and even something as simple as how you eat your meals. Plus a quick look at our new course and how it dives into these foundational pieces before getting into the cycle and hormones themselves.

In this episode Adrienne and I talk about something most women have never been told. Your period is actually a vital sign. We get into what a healthy cycle looks like, what's common but definitely not normal, and which symptoms might be pointing to something bigger going on in your body.

We also talk through specific warning signs like missing periods, heavy or irregular bleeding, severe PMS, debilitating cramps and extreme fatigue and what those things might actually mean. Plus some simple steps you can take to start supporting your cycle through nutrition and tracking.

In this episode, Adrienne and I break down what toxic burden actually means and, more importantly, how to reduce it in practical, realistic ways.

We cover the body's natural detox pathways, why sleep is non-negotiable, and how things like water quality, food choices, and stress management all play a role in how well your body clears out what it doesn't need. We also get into household products, plastics, and simple swaps you can start making today without overhauling your entire life.

This conversation is for anyone who's heard the word "detox" thrown around and never known what to actually do with it.

In this episode, Adrienne and I break down the importance of vitamin D, why deficiency is so common, and how it impacts everything from hormones and energy to bone health and immune function.

We talk through why so many adults, especially women, are living with suboptimal vitamin D levels, the role sunlight and lifestyle play, and why vitamin D functions more like a hormone than a simple vitamin. We also discuss functional lab ranges, supplementation, and practical ways to improve vitamin D levels naturally and effectively.

This conversation covers the connection between vitamin D and women’s health, how deficiency contributes to issues like fatigue and hormonal imbalance, and why optimizing your levels now can help prevent long-term health concerns later in life.

In this episode, Adrienne and I break down what breathwork actually is, why it matters, and how it supports nervous system regulation in real life. 

We talk through the vagus nerve, the balance between the sympathetic and parasympathetic nervous system, and why so many people feel stuck in a constant state of stimulation. Also, we share simple, realistic ways to use breathwork throughout the day, even when life feels busy, overwhelming, or chaotic.

This conversation covers how breathwork supports adults and children, how co-regulation works in families, and how just a few intentional breaths can help reset your system and change your baseline over time.

In this episode, Adrienne and I talk about the early foundations that matter most in pregnancy, especially during the first trimester, and why these same habits continue to support you through motherhood. We walk through the rapid hormonal shifts, increased nutrient demands, digestive changes, and emotional layers that show up early on, often before anyone even knows you’re pregnant.

We share four practical focus areas that make a real difference: stabilizing blood sugar, regulating the nervous system, supporting nutrient reserves, and keeping detox pathways moving through gut and liver support. We also explain how these foundations affect not just how you feel now, but fetal development, labor, postpartum recovery, and your child’s long-term health.

If the first trimester feels overwhelming, exhausting, or confusing, this conversation helps you understand what your body is asking for and how to support yourself in realistic, doable ways that carry far beyond pregnancy.

In this episode, Adrienne and I dive into something we see all the time: women trying to fix their hormones by doing more… more workouts, more restriction, more pushing through when the real issue is often what we need to stop doing. 

We talk honestly about the three biggest things that disrupt women’s hormones: over-stressing the body, under-nourishing, and ignoring the signals your body is trying to give you. Plus, our non-negotiable strategy we’d never take off the table when it comes to natural hormone balance.

If you’ve been stuck in the cycle of doing everything “right” but still feeling off, this conversation will help you understand what your body actually needs and what to let go of so you can feel better long term!
