26. [BLOOD SUGAR] Are you struggling with CRAVINGS?! Dec 18, 2020

Show notes

I can't wait for you to dive into today's episode! I've been down the cravings rollercoaster & I know you probably have too! These tips are for combatting cravings in the moment.

So where do cravings COME FROM?! Because you know I'm all about that ROOT CAUSE!

Comes from blood sugar disregulation & insulin resistance
A main function of the endocrine system is to transport glucose to your brain, muscles & heart. If anything about the process goes wrong, you’re going to have disregulated blood sugar which doesn’t allow any of the other parts of the endocrine system to function properly.
Unstable blood sugar is one of the most important underlying causes behind hormonal imbalances.
When you eat refined carbs (sugar), your body breaks it down into simple sugars like glucose. Your pancreas reacts to this load of glucose by releasing the hormone insulin which is meant to go inside of our cells.
Your pancreas also reacts to LOW blood sugar levels from not eating ENOUGH or waiting too long between meals
When you're insulin resistant- this excess insulin doesn’t go into the cells & perform their job because the cells are RESISTANT to it. Instead, it stays floating around in the bloodstream causing weight gain, heart disease, osteoporosis, diabetes & too much testosterone which leads to facial hair, acne, hair loss

TIPS to help cravings in the moment:

1. Set timer for 10 minutes before giving into the craving

2. Drink a full glass of room temp water

3. Journal/breathe think about why you’re craving what you’re craving and if it's actually hunger or if it’s emotional

4. If you're having a sweet craving, have a tea latte- hemp/oat milk with herbal tea and 1tbsp cacao powder. If you're having a salty craving, try carrots or celery & hummus/guac or cucumbers with sea salt & hummus/guac.

25. [PCOS] INTERVIEW: How Gracy healed her hormones & PCOS NATURALLY after years of PAIN & SUFFERING. Dec 15, 2020

Show notes

I am so excited for you to dive into today's episode! I think it's extremely important for us to hear the stories & experiences of other women. When it comes to hormones, many of us feel alone in our struggles. This episode is meant to show you that you're not alone and that there's hope & light at the end of the tunnel.

Here's what we get into with Gracy's story:

Gracy had PCOS her whole life. Cystic acne, intense, painful periods starting at 9 years old, massive weight gain that lead her to 3 different medications (metformin, spironolactone & ozempic), weight loss surgery, constipation, diarrhea, nausea, inability to eat, hair falling out, fatigue & MORE.

After years of multiple medications & surgery, Gracy finally had enough and decided to go the holistic route.

She is now off all medications, has clear skin, is managing her weight, goes to the bathroom every day, knows how to eat, understands her PCOS, has energy & feels better than she ever has.

If you can connect with Gracy please reach out to her on IG!

24. Health is NOT just about DIET & EXERCISE! Dec 11, 2020

Show notes

I cannot wait to hear your feedback on today’s episode because I think you’re really going to vibe with it! Part of the reason this podcast is called “MIND your hormones” is because our MENTAL & EMOTIONAL health is JUST AS IMPORTANT as our PHYSICAL health & that’s what we’re getting into today!

We're HOLISTIC beings and in order to see TRUE TRANSFORMATION we need to heal & nurture ourselves in a HOLISTIC way.

The idea for today’s episode started with having a full on MELTDOWN the other day about being over the whole Covid situation.

⁣

In March I was ok with it bc it was an OPPORTUNITY to stop & realize what’s important.⁣

⁣

It allowed me to GROW my then SIDE HUSTLE into my now full-time career: teaching how to use NUTRITION & LIFESTYLE to IMPROVE the QUALITY of your life by NATURALLY balancing HORMONES.⁣

⁣

I’m SO grateful for that, despite the horrible circumstances.⁣

⁣

I fully acknowledge the pain SO MANY faced & still are & my heart goes out to them.⁣

⁣

Most recently, the severity is increasing as it was in March & it feels like a post traumatic stress response.⁣

⁣

I’m OVER feeling NERVOUS to be around high risk fam members.

⁣

I hate that the holidays will be different & I can’t hug my gpa who’s going through chemo in fear I’ll expose him & make it worse.⁣

⁣

It’s an IMPOSSIBLE situation we’re ALL learning to navigate in REAL TIME.⁣

⁣

This MENTAL & EMOTIONAL stress 100% affects our hormones & overall health.⁣ Which is why if you’re only focused on diet & exercise you won’t see true transformation.

⁣

We’re NOT just a PHYSICAL body. We have a MENTAL & EMOTIONAL body that are just as IMPORTANT.⁣

⁣

I’m SO blessed to be in a MUCH better situation than many & FULLY recognize that.⁣

⁣

But that doesn’t mean it’s NOT affecting me.⁣

⁣

We need to honor that this pandemic is IMPACTING our HORMONE HEALTH.⁣

⁣

When our stress hormone CORTISOL increases it causes PROGESTERONE(a hormone necessary for pregnancy, metabolism, thyroid, skin, hair, bones, moods etc)to decrease.

⁣

Just like we brush our teeth daily, we NEED to practice MENTAL hygiene DAILY.⁣

⁣

We need to implement things like JOURNALING, MEDITATION, MOVEMENT, DAILY to PROCESS the EMOTIONS we face & TRANSFORM the stress so they don’t BUILD UP & cause OVERWHELM.⁣

23. [PERIOD HEALTH] Is it NORMAL to have PERIOD PAIN? Dec 08, 2020

Show notes

I’m SO happy you’re here for today’s conversation because it is EXTREMELY important to know what’s normal & what isn’t. Our culture has made CRAMPS & period PAIN something that women should just “DEAL WITH” & “TOUGHEN UP” about because “that’s just what happens when you get your period.”

⁣

This is SO MESSED UP on SO MANY levels.⁣

⁣

Not only does it MINIMIZE the STRUGGLE & PAIN that some women go through on a MONTHLY basis, but it NORMALIZES something that ISN’T NORMAL.⁣

⁣

This makes women IGNORE an underlying problem that could be serious (such as ENDOMETRIOSIS).⁣

⁣

Mild/moderate cramping can be “normal.” If they are MINOR cramps you can tolerate & don’t need to take any medication/pain relief for.⁣

⁣

BUT if you’re having INTENSE CRAMPS where you’re reaching for Midol or even more intense medications, you can’t get out of bed, or you’re getting nauseous from the pain, that is NOT NORMAL.

⁣

Pain like that could be a SYMPTOM of ENDOMETRIOSIS which is an INFLAMMATORY disease that shouldn’t be taken lightly.⁣

⁣

THANKFULLY there are NATURAL ways to heal your Endometriosis & get rid of the pain.🙏🏼⁣

⁣

One of my clients with endometriosis went from a 10 (on a scale of 1-10 of pain)to a 2! WITHOUT MEDICATION

⁣

This shift happened from implementing an ANTI INFLAMMATORY diet & a supplement protocol for her specific needs.⁣

⁣

So THERE IS HOPE & there are NATURAL ways to accomplish this.⁣

ENDOMETRIOSIS is an INFLAMMATORY disease so healing it needs to be done by REDUCING INFLAMMATION.

3 things to AVOID to reduce INFLAMMATION:

Alcohol: alcohol increases estrogen levels & disrupts blood sugar (check out this episode for more info on alcohol & hormones!)
Dairy: dairy inflames our gut which prohibits our gut from being able to eliminate our excess hormones. There are also hormones in dairy that latch onto our hormone receptors leaving our own production of hormones floating around in the body
Gluten is also super inflammatory to the gut (check out this episode on more information about how the gut connects to hormones)

Gluten alternatives: quinoa, oats, brown rice, millet, amaranth.

Dairy free cheese brands: Kite hill, miyokos, good planet.

22. [PERIOD HEALTH] What the COLOR of your PERIOD is TELLING YOU! Dec 04, 2020

Show notes

I’m so excited for you to get into this episode because I think it’s SO COOL to be able to truly read our periods & understand the MESSAGES it’s sending us. Our period is our MONTHLY REPORT CARD. Let’s use this information to our advantage!

PERIOD COLORS

BROWN: this signifies LOW PROGESTERONE. A Brownish color on DAY 1 or on the LAST FEW DAYS of your period show you may have LOW PROGESTERONE
DEEP PURPLE/BLUE with CLOTS & CLUMPS: ESTROGEN levels are too HIGH in relation to progesterone
PINK: Pale pink on the FIRST & LAST few days of your period is a sign of LOW ESTROGEN. This can also look like SHORTER PERIODS.
RED: Cranberry or cherry red & CLOT FREE is a sign of hormonal balance.

What the IDEAL period looks like:

28-32 day cycle (a 21-35 day is considered “regular” but 28-32 is IDEAL).
STRONG flow WITHOUT any clots
DEEP RED or CRANBERRY JUICE from start to finish
Lasting 4-7 days
No pain that would make you reach for pain killers

21. [CASE STUDY] How Lisa NATURALLY healed anxiety, IRREGULAR periods, hair falling out, PCOS, mood swings & PMS. Dec 01, 2020

Show notes

In today’s episode I thought it would be cool for you to see the different symptoms one of my clients (we’ll call her Lisa) was experiencing and how those symptoms were able to be managed & reversed with nutrition, lifestyle & supplementation; NOT medication.

I had a client that came to me with extreme anxiety, bouts of depression, PCOS, her hair was falling out, she had interrupted sleep, her period was irregular, she had intense mood swings and some cramping before her periods.

As someone who used to have a ton of (what I thought) were random symptoms, I understand the thought process that they’re all coming from a different place & it’s never going to get better unless I take a pill etc. I GET IT.

But I’m here to tell you that’s NOT the case!

What we did with her, which is what I do with every client, is we focussed on healing her gut, balancing blood sugar, improving liver detoxification, nourishing her nervous system & supporting her mitochondria (energy centers of the cell) with targeted supplementation.

One way we healed her gut was by increasing the amount of anti-inflammatory foods she ate such as fiber (which is ONLY found in plant foods) & ditching dairy. (For more info on GUT HEALTH check out EPISODE 10).
One step in balancing her blood sugar was completely removing sugar & having a high-protein breakfast.
We also nourished her nervous system by focussing on quality sleep & incorporating stress management techniques that best suited her and what was going to make the biggest difference for her. We started with super short meditations of 5 mins every morning & eventually increased to 10 mins.
We improved her liver detoxification by switching over her products from conventional ones to non-toxic ones. Conventional products are loaded with chemicals that your liver needs to process & metabolize. Your liver also needs to metabolize & process your EXCESS HORMONES BUT it will first process whatever is most LIFE THREATENING. Since the chemicals in products are more life threatening than excess hormones, it focusses on that first & never gets to the excess hormones which then creates imbalances. By removing those toxins by using non-toxic beauty & household cleaning products, the liver has more space to process excess hormones.
We supported her mitochondria with nutrients she specifically needed- for example a probiotic & a prenatal since she’s looking to conceive soon.

20. Are you BEATING YOURSELF UP for not being PERFECT?! Nov 27, 2020

Show notes

I can’t wait for you to dive into today’s episode where we chat about how we can better serve ourselves by changing how we talk to ourselves and how we can’t expect to always be “perfect”! I’m a (recovering) perfectionist so this topic is super close to home & something I’m constantly working on.

Here’s what you can expect!

What I’ve been working on: Aiming to eat before 7pm because that's when I notice my PCOS symptoms are most at bay. Over the weekend I got so upset & frustrated because it was after 7 when I ate & I turned into a monster over it!
Perfect doesn’t exist. PROGRESS ALWAYS WINS. STRIVE FOR BETTER NOT PERFECT.
Maybe you had a few extra drinks over thanksgiving or ate some stuff you’ve been avoiding. Maybe you skipped a workout.
Whatever it is for YOU, we ALL go through it. The feeling of DAMN, I “SHOULD’VE” done this or I “SHOULDN'T” have done that!⁣
Maybe it’s TRUE you made CHOICES that weren’t EXACTLY in line with your health & hormone goals.⁣
BUT that doesn’t mean YOU SUCK & need to feel GUILTY about it! It means you have an OPPORTUNITY to GROW & get BETTER!⁣
If you hold yourself to an EXPECTATION that’s UNATTAINABLE, you’ll NEVER be PROUD of yourself for the SMALL GAINS that turn into BIG GAINS that you’re doing OVERALL.⁣
We need to look at everything as, am I BETTER than who I was yesterday? Am I taking steps in the RIGHT DIRECTION?⁣
When you’re changing your lifestyle it can be OVERWHELMING & if you don’t look at it as being BETTER than BEFORE, rather than being PERFECT, you’re missing out on an OPPORTUNITY to feel PROUD of yourself & give yourself the MOMENTUM to KEEP GOING!⁣
When we CELEBRATE 3 days of lemon water instead of feeling DEFEATED from the 4 days without it, it make us want to keep going!⁣
Be PROUD of YOURSELF for the changes you ARE MAKING!⁣
Acknowledge them & it’ll help you CONTINUE making progress. PROGRESS over PERFECTION. ALWAYS!
I’m not saying to not hold yourself to a high standard and take care of yourself. BUT beating yourself up over it ISN;T DOING ANYTHING.
Would you say the things you say to yourself to your friend, sister, daughter? Probably not!
We need to treat ourselves & talk to ourselves internally like we would to the little girl inside of us
You’re not a piece of shit because you didnt 100% stick to something. You made a choice. That doesn’t make you a failure.
Do we always want to be getting better & making the best choices we can? Of course. But not at the cost of our mental well being.

19. [INTERVIEW] Using MINDFULNESS, MEDITATION & MINDSET to navigate this season with JEN EMSWILER Nov 24, 2020

Show notes

I’m so excited for you to listen in on my conversation with Jen Emswiler! We hit on so many amazing topics that I think you’re really going to vibe with.

First things first, Jen Emswiler is an entrepreneur, podcast host, writer, yoga and meditation teacher, life coach and mindfulness expert dedicated to helping individuals navigate change and live life mindfully. She is the Founder and CEO of Thought Leader, which aims to bring mindfulness to teams through short, simple and powerful techniques.

Jen offers 1:1 mindful coaching sessions and consultations through her website. You can connect with Jen on social @fromjentozen or by tuning into her podcast From Jen To Zen!

Jen talks to us about how she was in a severe car accident, on birth control & got Lyme's disease which left her in chronic pain- mindfulness & meditation helped guide her through that.

TOPICS WE CHAT ABOUT:

Meditation is a vehicle to mindfulness.
Mindfulness is awareness of the present moment. The here and now.
Everything is temporary
Mindfulness- research has shown- the fight or flight part of your brain shrinks & - the part responsible for making decision, concentration & focus thickens- when we practice mindfulness we are decreasing our stress response but increasing our ability to handle more stressful situations more skillfully & take more time to respond rather than react.
Mindfulness/meditation allows our brain to change.
Not a one size fits all- find what works for you. Walking meditation, morning, night, after a workout
John Kabat—Zinn Mindfulness based stress reduction clinic in Massachusetts
Study: Basketball athletes were split into 2 groups. One athlete was shooting free throws for several weeks. The other athlete didn’t practice. He sat and visualized him successfully doing it. At the end of the study, when the athlete who visualized the free throws actually played he was more successful and had a different perspective (even when he missed) than the player that was physically practicing for weeks.
Mindfulness calms your nervous system, lowering cortisol levels which is so important for hormone balance.
Your mind, body & hormones are all connected- you will not be able to fully heal if you are only focussed on food and exercise.

18. Are you STRESSING about STAYING ON TRACK over the HOLIDAYS? Nov 20, 2020

Show notes

I’m so excited for you to dive into this episode because this topic is SUPER important. Many of my clients have been telling me they’re nervous about heading into the holiday season and worried they won’t be able to stay on track. SO I've decided to bring some of my tips to you!

First things first: throw away ANY expectations whether “good or bad” because this holiday season is going to look different than any other year.

We get to choose how every situation feels and what we make of it.

Be GRACEFUL with yourself during this season and know that you’re NOT ALONE.

But ALSO let’s do our best to make the BEST of it.

5 steps to stay on track hormonally over the holidays:

Stick to your MORNING ROUTINE
- glass of water
- warm lemon water
- HIGH PROTEIN BREAKFAST: aim for a smoothie so you can get a ton of greens & nutrients since you probably won’t later in the day.

How you start your day sets the tone for the rest of the day.

MOVE YOUR BODY: Do some kind of movement for 30 minutes before starting your festivities.
- Movement increases the diversity of gut bacteria
- It also boosts our mood which is so helpful for this time of year
- If you can- take a 10 minute walk after dinner to aid digestion & help blood sugar balance

MAKE MINDFUL CHOICES
- CHOOSE 1 DESSERT AND ENJOY IT rather than taking a bite of every single thing.
- EAT YOUR VEGGIES FIRST. This aids digestion because it’s loaded with fiber. Meat doesn’t have fiber so pairing it with veggies will help you digest & it will help you feel more full.

HYDRATE
- drink 1/2 your body weight in ounces of filtered water a day
- if you’re having some alcohol, increase that amount of water & have water in between each drink
- room temp water, not cold! Cold water constricts digestion.

BE PREPARED FOR THE NEXT DAY
- Make sure you have a nutrient dense, fiber rich, high protein breakfast set for the next day
- get right back into your morning routine

Don’t let 1 day of indulging turn into 2 months of indulging.

MOST IMPORTANTLY: DON’T FEEL GUILTY. Enjoy the holiday and know that it’s not about being perfect! It’s 80/20. One salad isn’t going to cure all your problems just like one indulgence isn’t going to sabotage all the progress you’ve made. It becomes a problem when 1 day of indulgences turns into 1 season. Being stressed & guilty about it causes MORE IMBALANCES than eating it and enjoying it.

17. [PERIOD HEALTH] Tracking OVULATION & why you NEED TO, EVEN IF you DON'T WANT TO GET PREGNANT! Nov 17, 2020

Show notes

Today we’re chatting all about progesterone & ovulation because it’s VITAL for our hormones & overall health. Ovulation is the ONLY way you make PROGESTERONE which is a hormone that is beneficial for mood, energy, libido, insulin response, thyroid, skin, hair, metabolism more.

Progesterone is essential for healthy reproduction & periods but it also supports your brain, immune system, and detoxification enzymes! Here are 7 ways Progesterone supports you! (Adapted by Lara Briden- sources linked below!)

Boosts energy by stimulating the thyroid and amping up your metabolism. That’s why your body temperature goes up half a degree when you make progesterone after ovulation. It also relieves adrenal fatigue which is really HPA dysregulation because it stabilizes the communication between the hypothalamus (modulates the endocrine system through its connections with the pituitary gland) & adrenal glands.
Soothes mood and rescues sleep because stimulates sleep centers in the brain and is essential for combatting PMS insomnia
Nourishes hair and clears skin because it reduces male hormones (androgens) by inhibiting the enzyme 5-alpha reductase. The result is faster-growing hair, less skin oil (sebum), and fewer skin break-outs.
Lightens periods (heavy periods come from excess estrogen) by counteracting estrogen’s stimulating effect on the uterine lining.
Prevents autoimmune disease because it modulates immune function reduces inflammation, and up-regulates detoxification enzymes.
Builds bones and muscle by stimulating bone-building cells which are called osteoblasts & the growth of new muscle.
Protects against cancer by counteracting estrogen’s stimulating effect on breast and uterine tissue.

HOW TO TRACK OVULATION:

Cervical fluid- egg white consistency & stretchy leading up to ovulation
1. Before ovulation it’s between 97 and 97.7
2. After ovulation it increases about .5 and maintains that higher level until your period
3. Take your temperature before getting out of bed, at the same time every morning.
Tracking Basal Body Temperature.
