Answering Your Questions: Navigating Women’s Health, Nutrition, Hormones, Fertility, Weight Loss, and Detox
EPISODE #8 — OCT 4, 2024
In this episode, I answer some of the most common questions I get about women’s holistic health. I begin by addressing how to navigate feelings of overwhelm when it comes to health and outlining the foundational elements of women’s health. I share tips for shifting your mindset and establishing sustainable, long-term habits while navigating conflicting opinions about foods like meat, seed oils, and dairy — and how to trust your intuition.
You'll learn how to recognize the signs of hormone imbalances, when birth control may be an issue, and how to stop taking it safely. I cover the difference between normal and common menstrual symptoms, offer natural remedies for menstrual health, and discuss nutrition for fertility, pregnancy, and postpartum. Additionally, I explore a holistic approach to weight loss (including the connections between metabolism, hormones, blood sugar, and gut health) and the importance of reducing toxin exposure. I share my hot take on fasting and detox cleanses and conclude with the most important thing you can do for your health.
