  Your Body is Asking for Hormone Support

  Image Source

  Your symptoms suggest that your hormones—like cortisol, estrogen, and progesterone—might need some support. Symptoms like PMS, mood swings, low libido, or irregular cycles are clues that your hormones are out of sync.What’s Happening:Hormone imbalances often stem from chronic stress, mineral imbalances, nutrient deficiencies, or poor blood sugar regulation.When your body doesn’t have the resources it needs to make and balance hormones, symptoms like PMS, spotting, or fatigue can show up.Your Roadmap to Balanced Hormones:Balance Blood Sugar & Eat Enough: Eat regular meals that include protein, carbs, fat, and fiber to keep blood sugar stable. No skipping meals or going low carb!Rebalance Minerals: Incorporate mineral rich foods and beverages that contain combos of potassium, magnesium, and sodium. These help with the signaling and production of hormones, stress resiliency, and blood sugar regulation.Support Your Sleep & Circadian Rhythm: Aim for 7-9 hours of quality sleep each night and get sunlight first thing in the morning.Watch my free Hormone Roadmap Workshop HERE for the exact step by step plan.Why Testing Matters:When it comes to hormone imbalances, assessing the body as a whole is key. Otherwise, you're guessing about what changes to make instead of testing to see exactly what your body needs. We want to know what is driving these imbalances, which is why we look at comprehensive blood labs that include inflammatory markers, blood sugar markers, key vitamins, and full thyroid panel. We also use a hair tissue mineral analysis (HTMA) to assess minerals, nutrient imbalances, and toxic load. Depending on your cycles we can also use a DUTCH test to look at cortisol progesterone, estrogen, and testosterone. These help to provide valuable insights into what’s happening in your body. This helps us target the exact areas that need support.Next Step:With the Well Nourished program, you’ll get a personalized roadmap to balance your hormones and improve your energy, mood, and cycles.

  Your Metabolism & Thyroid Need a Boost

  Your symptoms suggest that your metabolism and thyroid might need extra support. Low energy, feeling cold often, stubborn weight, constipation, thinning hair, low moods, and brain fog are signs that your body’s energy systems aren’t functioning as efficiently as they could be.What’s Happening:A sluggish metabolism or underactive thyroid can make it harder for your body to convert food into energy. This affects everything from your mood and energy levels to your body composition.Nutrient deficiencies or chronic stress may also be contributing to these imbalances.Your Roadmap to a Stronger Metabolism:1) Fuel Your Body: Ensure you’re eating enough calories and not skipping meals—especially carbs, which are critical for thyroid health. Make sure you're not over-exercising or over-training, especially after a poor night of sleep or when you're not getting enough real food.2) Support Your Thyroid: Incorporate key minerals such as iodine, selenium, and zinc from food sources. A healthy gut and liver function are also essential for thyroid hormones. Prioritize 8 hours of sleep. Minimize unnecessary stressors. Support your nervous system.3) Monitor Your Baseline: Track body temperature and pulse daily to monitor improvements in metabolic function.Why We Test, Instead of Guess:TSH alone does not give us a complete picture of your thyroid health. This is why we do a full panel (including antibodies, free T3, free T4, reverse T3) and assess them based on optimal -- not just "normal" -- ranges. We also use blood markers for assessing blood sugar, inflammation, liver health, and key vitamins because they all play a role in your thyroid health and metabolism. Combined with a review of your diet history, health timeline, and symptoms, we can create a tailored plan to restore your metabolism.In addition to blood labs, we use a hair tissue mineral analysis (HTMA) to assess the cellular health of your metabolism by looking at minerals, nutrient imbalances, and toxic load. These help to provide valuable insights into what’s happening in your body. This helps us target the exact areas that need support.Next Step:Let’s optimize your metabolism together! My Well Nourished program is designed to help women boost their energy, improve thyroid function, and feel strong and vibrant again.

  Your Gut is Asking for Attention

  Your symptoms suggest that your gut health could use some extra support. Digestive discomfort like bloating, gas, constipation, or reflux is often a sign of imbalances in your digestive system—and when your gut is struggling, it can impact your entire body.What’s Happening:Poor digestive function often stems from low stomach acid, imbalanced gut bacteria, or stress. These issues can interfere with nutrient absorption and hormone balance.If you notice digestive symptoms during certain phases of your cycle, hormone fluctuations (like progesterone and estrogen changes) might also be playing a role.Your Roadmap to Better Gut Health:Improve Meal Hygiene: Slow down while eating, chew thoroughly, and avoid distractions during meals. Use bitter herbs to increase digestive function, which can also help with reducing bloat, reflux, and indigestion.Incorporate Gut-Healing Foods: Add bone broth, fermented foods, and fiber-rich veggies to increase good gut bacteria and support your gut lining.Focus on Balance: Avoid over-restrictive diets that can harm gut bacteria diversity and increase stress in the body. Evaluate root causes of food intolerances, rather than eliminating more foods.Why Testing Matters:Gut issues often have underlying causes like bacterial imbalances, poor motility due to hormone imbalances, fungal overgrowths due to mold exposure, or poor gut function (low stomach acid, poor bile production) usually caused by stress and a dysregulated nervous system. Testing with a GI Map Stool Test can help identify these issues so we can address them at the root, along with comprehensive blood labs and mineral testing to identify nutrient gaps that impact your gut health.Next Step:Want to heal your gut for good? My Well Nourished program is designed to help you pinpoint the root cause of your gut issues and see lasting results.

  Your Whole Body Needs Support

  Your symptoms suggest that multiple systems in your body—hormones, metabolism, and gut—are struggling to keep up. This is a sign that your body is asking for holistic, full-body support to bring everything back into balance.What’s Happening:Your body might be overwhelmed by chronic stress, nutrient deficiencies, or imbalances in key hormones like cortisol, thyroid hormones, and sex hormones (estrogen and progesterone).Symptoms across multiple systems (like digestion, energy, and cycle health) indicate that your body is working hard but needs the right support to function optimally.Your Roadmap to Better Health:Nourish Your Body: Focus on eating enough calories, including carbohydrates, proteins, and healthy fats, to provide the energy your body needs to heal.Simplify Your Routine: Start with foundational habits like regular meals, good sleep hygiene, and light movement to reduce stress.Track Symptoms: Monitor body temperature, cycle symptoms, and digestion to understand patterns in how your body responds.Why Testing Matters:Testing helps identify the underlying causes of your symptoms, so you're not just guessing or doing what you see works for someone else. We use comprehensive blood labs, hair tissue mineral analysis (HTMA), and in many cases a GI Map Stool Test because your gut function and bacteria is at the root of so many symptoms. We take these results and create a personalized plan that works for YOU. No restrictive diets, unrealistic routines, 20 supplements, or unenjoyable habits.Next Step:My Well Nourished program provides a comprehensive, root-cause approach to help women like you restore balance and feel better. Let’s take the guesswork out of your health journey together.
