Last week we started an important conversation about hormonal weight which inevitably sent us down a rabbit hole, talking about mistakes, misconceptions, and important nuances. 

We touched on the first hormone impacting your weight loss: cortisol. So I highly recommend you go back and take a listen since everyone is impacted by stress. Click here to do that now. 

If you're already caught up, you're ready to jump into today's episode where we're going through the rest of the core weight-management hormones: estrogen,...

When you see the laundry list of health benefits you can experience from a PEMF mat, you can't help but feel your inner skeptic peering around the corner to investigate. 

I myself have a strong bullshit radar and am extremely wary of wellness fads. But recently I was in a functional nutrition course run by a functional medicine practitioner who I highly respect, and when she mentioned that hypothyroid patients could benefit from the use of a PEMF mat, my ears perked up. 

Believe it or not, I immediately ordered one -...

Last week I shared the first two steps of living a symptom-free life with Hashimoto's. These are the steps I parsed down from 2 decades of my own trial and error, literally hundreds of hours of research, time working with a number of functional medicine practitioners, over a decade of working 1:1 with clients, and expanding my knowledge with programs like Functional Diagnostic Nutrition, Gut Honest Truth Academy, Institute for Integrative Nutrition, and Functional Nutrition Alliance.

Summary 

99% of the women who come to my practice have tried every diet under the sun. They’ve tracked their food, cut carbs, timed their meals, and they are exhausted.

Exhausted from the trial and error, exhausted from getting their hopes dashed, exhausted from being unhappy in their skin.

That’s where I come in. To shed light on why their past attempts haven’t worked (hint: your body is not broken) and to pave a new path that puts an end to yo-yo dieting for good.

So if you’re wondering why the...

If you follow me on Instagram, you may recognize this video about the heavy metal detox smoothie I just discovered from Medical Medium, Anthony William. 

But I wanted to come on the blog today and expand a bit on the importance of detoxing, specifically from heavy metals. 

5 Reasons to Detox from Heavy Metals

1. Viruses and bacteria feed on heavy metals.
