Today’s episode is all about estrogen! Estrogen is often misunderstood and even villainized, but it’s actually an essential hormone that plays a crucial role in women's health. While hormonal imbalances are usually just symptoms of deeper issues, many misconceptions about estrogen persist—especially in relation to endometriosis. In today’s episode, I’ll break down what estrogen really does, how it impacts your body, and its connection to endometriosis symptoms.

In this episode, you’ll hear:

-The vital role estrogen plays in hormonal health and why it’s more beneficial than you might think.

-How low estrogen levels can happen in women with endometriosis, and the signs to look out for.

-Why birth control contains synthetic hormones, and what that means for balancing your hormones.

-The key differences between excess estrogen and estrogen dominance, and the symptoms associated with both.

-How excess estrogen impacts endometriosis and what that means for managing your condition.

-Practical, natural ways to start balancing estrogen levels and support your hormonal health.

Stay tuned for upcoming episodes where I’ll dive into progesterone, its relationship with estrogen, and how to detox excess estrogen from your body naturally. Remember, hormone imbalances are symptoms of underlying root causes—addressing these can help you achieve long-term hormonal balance.

As the seasons shift into fall, today’s episode focuses on cycle syncing, a powerful way to align your life with your menstrual cycle. Just like the changing seasons, women’s bodies go through natural phases each month. Unfortunately, our society tends to overlook these fluctuations, but by learning how to support your cycle with the right foods, movement, and daily routines, you can promote hormonal balance and improve your overall well-being.

In this episode, you’ll hear:

-The Follicular Phase (Spring): How this phase after menstruation mirrors spring, and the best foods and exercises to fuel your energy and support your hormones.

-Seed Cycling for Hormonal Balance: Discover the best seeds to consume at different points in your cycle to balance hormones naturally.

-The Ovulatory Phase (Summer): A high-energy time like summer—learn about the foods and workouts to maximize this phase for better health.

-The Luteal Phase (Autumn): This phase, similar to fall, is a time for winding down. Learn how to nurture yourself with calming foods and activities for hormone health.

-The Menstrual Phase (Winter): A time for rest and release, much like winter. Discover foods that support your body as it sheds the uterine lining, and find the best restorative movements.

Making even small changes to sync your routine with your cycle can significantly improve your energy, mood, and overall health. Start by focusing on one phase, and remember—women’s bodies are cyclical by nature, and it’s time to honor that!

In this episode, I'm joined by my good friend and fellow nutritional therapy practitioner, Molly Sellers. We’ve shared quite the journey together—both professionally and personally—and today, Molly is here to share her inspiring story. As a women’s health advocate and endometriosis warrior, Molly’s experiences have shaped her approach to helping other women navigate their health journeys.

You’ll hear about how Molly and I connected, how we worked together through her endometriosis struggles, and the importance of having the right support system when managing your health. Plus, we dive into the ups and downs that are part of the healing journey and why it’s essential to listen to your body.

In this episode, you’ll hear:

-Molly’s personal journey: How her own health struggles with endometriosis led her to become a nutritional therapy practitioner dedicated to helping women.

-Our story: How Molly and I met, and why working together helped her find clarity and support, even as a professional in the field.

-The importance of finding the right doctor: Why it's crucial to feel cared for and empowered when seeking medical advice.

-Advocating for yourself: How to trust your instincts and listen to your body—because no one knows it better than you.

-Navigating health ups and downs: Molly shares her personal experiences and the reality that healing is never linear. Patience and persistence are key.

-Creating a new normal: It's not about achieving "normal"; it’s about discovering what’s best for your body and creating balance.

-Letting go of control: Why trying to control every aspect of your health may actually be holding you back, and how releasing that control can lead to deeper healing.

-Self-care and joy: How prioritizing fun and joy in your life is just as important as nutrition and exercise when it comes to overall health.

Your health journey is personal, and it’s not just about food or exercise—it’s all-encompassing. Be proactive and make changes now, before your health forces you to. Advocate for yourself because you know your body best. And most importantly, make time for joy and fun—it’s OK to enjoy life and let go of perfection.
