Feeling Tired, Bloated, and “Off”? Your Hormones May Be Trying to Tell You Something
You know what’s exhausting?

Not just feeling tired, but constantly wondering "why you don’t feel like yourself."

You wake up exhausted even after a full night’s sleep. You’re eating “healthy,” but somehow you still end the day feeling bloated and uncomfortable. One week you’re motivated, productive, and ready to take on the world. The next, you’re crying in the parking lot wondering what the heck happened.

Eventually, you start wondering if you’re simply not trying hard enough.

But what if the problem isn’t a lack of willpower? What if you were just never taught how to understand your hormones?

Understanding Hormone Health for Women

Most women learn very little about hormone health and the menstrual cycle growing up. I know I didn’t.

Instead, we learn to push through exhaustion, PMS, cravings, mood changes, and uncomfortable periods. We reach for another coffee and keep moving because feeling terrible for part of the month has somehow become accepted as “just part of being a woman.”

But your body is constantly communicating with you.

Changes in your energy, mood, hunger, sleep, digestion, and menstrual cycle can all give you valuable information about what your body needs.

The problem? No one gave us the instruction manual.

Supporting Healthy Hormones Starts With the Foundations

Hormone health doesn’t have to begin with another restrictive diet, detox, complicated supplement routine, or quick fix.

Some of the most important foundations for supporting **healthy hormones in women** are surprisingly simple:

* Keeping blood sugar more stable
* Understanding the phases of your menstrual cycle
* Supporting your nervous system and managing stress
* Prioritizing sleep and recovery
* Eating enough nourishing food
* Creating sustainable daily habits

Imagine heading into your period understanding why your body is asking you to slow down.

Imagine feeling more connected to your cycle instead of frustrated by it.

More empowered. More energized. More like yourself.

I am a bold, beautiful, sometimes timid, usually happy, essential oil, nutrition junkie. Although at 39 I feel as if I've had several careers over a lifetime (or at least sometimes when I look back at my resume that is what shines through). I've been a paralegal, an office manager, an administrative assistant, worked in commercial lending and have finally landed on nutrition.

My journey to nutrition started many years ago when my sister was diagnosed with celiac disease and food had to change for the family. From there, along my own health journey I’ve helped people not only figure out what to eat but how to do it so that it can work for them sustainably. For almost seven years I’ve been counseling people on their nutrition and weight loss journeys.

I am knowledgeable about what purpose food serves your body and I focus on finding sustainable options when it comes to food; this also led to my love of essential oils. I had the opportunity to attend a workshop where a registered dietitian spoke about using essential oils in her practice to help her patients. I was floored. I knew that #plantsheal but I didn't realize that others in the 'conventional' medical community thought that as well!! Learning that it was possible to incorporate these magical little bottles gave me a huge sense of hope.

As I learned more about these oils I was diagnosed with increased intestinal permeability or as many of us know it, leaky gut. Leaky gut has been around for quite awhile but many of us are just learning what this is or why this is even more common these days than ever before. Many issues can be related to leaky gut including autoimmune diseases. Receiving this diagnosis just led me down a path further to learn about nutrition and how to best serve my body and take care of myself.

Since birthing our sweet baby boy at home earlier this year I’ve been incredibly passionate about helping other women too who are pregnant and new mothers with their nutrition. Eating healthy for your pregnant body and your postpartum self is a game changer for both mother and baby.
