Before you spend money on another round of labs, there are a few things I want you to look at FIRST! Because here's the thing: your hormones are often a reflection of what's happening in your body, not necessarily the root of the problem.

In this episode of the Hormone Happy Hour podcast, I'm sharing three simple places to start before jumping into hormone testing, plus some exciting breakthroughs from my recent Missing Piece Sessions! We're talking about getting back to basics, tuning into what your body is telling you, and finding clarity without getting lost in ALL the conflicting health advice out there. Because friend, healing doesn't have to be so complicated!

In this episode:

• Why hormones may be a symptom of something deeper rather than the root cause
• How tracking basal body temperature for 30 days can reveal helpful cycle clues
• Why I recommend tracking your food intake for a few days before changing everything
• What a hair tissue mineral analysis (HTMA) can tell us about mineral patterns
• Why looking at the basics for 90–100 days can be valuable before pursuing more testing
• How to stop chasing answers and start building trust in your body
• How to connect with me for a Missing Piece Session + upcoming retreat updates

Okay friend, if you’ve been trying to get pregnant for six months or longer and you’re starting to wonder what’s going on, this episode is for YOU!

I’m breaking down where I’d start if pregnancy just isn’t happening, what clues your body might already be giving you, and why getting answers doesn’t have to mean jumping straight into complicated fertility treatments.

We’re talking about the fertility basics I want every woman to understand, from confirming ovulation and tracking cervical mucus to looking at libido, hormone patterns, and the labs that may help fill in the missing pieces. And yes, we’re talking about your husband’s health, too! Because fertility is a team effort, and I want you to feel informed, supported, and confident about your next steps.

In this episode:

• Where to start if you’ve been trying to conceive for 6+ months
• How basal body temperature tracking can help confirm ovulation
• What cervical mucus, libido and cycle symptoms can tell you about fertility
• The blood work and mineral testing I consider when looking for deeper answers
• Why your husband’s hormones and sperm health deserve attention, too
• How to move forward with clarity instead of getting overwhelmed by fertility information
• Details on my Missing Piece sessions + Restore Your Progesterone program

Okay, but what if all the things you’re doing to heal your hormones are actually keeping you stuck?

We’ve all been there - ordering more tests, trying new supplements, researching every symptom, and feeling like there’s ALWAYS something else to fix. In this episode, I’m talking about what I call “healing backwards” and why doing all the things might not be getting you where you want to go.

We’re also getting into the difference between constantly trying to fix your body and actually learning how to take care of it. I’m sharing some perspective from Romans 8, what God has been showing me about healing, and why knowing what season you’re in matters SO much. Because friend, you weren’t meant to spend your whole life chasing symptoms. 💛

In this episode:

• What “healing backwards” looks like and why you might be stuck in fix-it mode
• How information overload, endless testing & hypervigilance can work against you
• The difference between fixing your body and stewarding your health
• What Romans 8 can teach us about healing
• Why understanding your current season matters for your next steps
• Real client examples of hormone, gut, and blood sugar clues
