EPISODE 188: Are you tired of restrictive diets that show no results and only make you miserable? You’re not alone!

When you want to lose weight––no matter the reason––you’re surrounded by information that tells you to cut off carbs, cut off fats, cut off proteins, etc… but cutting off entire food groups and restricting yourself to so little calories you can barely move is NOT the way to lose weight.

If anything, those solutions make your weight loss journey harder and you end up giving up before even seeing results.

So, if you want real change, you cannot miss this week’s episode of the Balancing Hormones Naturally podcast.

In it, I sit down with the amazing Joseph Hoye, a health coach who specializes in helping women 40 and older reach their goal weight (and change their lifestyle) in a healthy and sustainable way.

Together, Joseph and I will be discussing why you need to stop following fad diets, how losing weight always starts with a mindset shift, how to accurately track food intake, why you need to add strength training to your exercise routine, and so much more.

Are you ready to transform your approach to weight loss?

Then run, don’t walk, and tune in now!

Key Takeaways:

Introduction (00:00)

Are some diets more harmful than others? (03:29)

How to rework your relationship with food (06:33)

Where to start to lose weight (13:20)

Why you need to repair your mindset first (25:07)

EPISODE 186: If you’re a long-time listener of the podcast, then you probably know I’m a big proponent of consuming organ meats.

I know, the idea of eating organs isn’t the best, but organ meats contain the same essential nutrients found in prenatal vitamins, and that makes them an excellent natural alternative for reproductive health and general well-being.

So, if you’re looking to have a healthy pregnancy or just want to optimize your nutrient levels in general, they are an essential addition to your diet.

In this episode, I sit down with Chef James Barry, the founder of Pluck, a seasoning blend containing organ meats, to discuss just that.

Together, he and I will be talking about why you need to incorporate organ meats in your diet, the best way to cook this type of meat if you don’t like the taste, how consuming organ meats can actually help with digestion, and more.

Are you ready?

Let’s dive in!

Key Takeaways:

Introduction (00:00)

Why you need to consume organ meats (01:30)

Why Chef James eat organ meats (11:00)

Why you need beef liver (21:33)

How to use the Pluck seasonings (28:30)

Where Pluck sources their products (32:32)

Where to get Pluck (38:44)

EPISODE 184: This week’s episode is extra special, because in it, I interview Katelyn Hansen, a past client of mine who went from bleeding five months at a time to regular cycles after going through the Hormonal Reset Program.

Listen in as Katelyn and I discuss her journey of healing, how hormonal imbalance affected her day-to-day life, the power of a personalized health protocol, why you need to live your life in a non-toxic way, and more.

Are you ready to learn about Katelyn’s story?

EPISODE 182: Many of my listeners contact me with questions like “I have to eat out because I was traveling, will this ruin my progress?” or “ I’m pregnant and I can’t handle meat right now, how badly am I going to hurt my hormones?” and my answer is always the same: You’re not going to hurt your hormones at all.

This is because hormonal balance (as well as hormonal imbalance) comes as the result of long-term habits. And so, eating junk food once won’t ruin your hormones. On the other hand, eating one blood sugar balanced meal once won’t help your hormones either.

It’s all about building good habits (and getting rid of bad ones), slowly but surely.

Not sure where to start?

Well you’re in luck, because this is exactly what I discuss in this week’s episode of the Balancing Hormones Naturally podcast.

Are you ready?

Let’s dive in.

Key Takeaways:

Introduction (00:00)

Why consistency matters (01:00)

What happens when you ignore your hormones (04:53)

Why I started paying attention to my health (10:48)

How all things build upon each other (13:36)
