The part where I went to Italy because…

Years ago, I used to feel like I was trapped in a body, and fatigue was ruining my plans and my life. I realized health was holding me back, and I see this same story play out with almost every one of my clients.

So many people show up to a consultation exhausted, anxious, and completely disconnected from their bodies.

What I’ve learned is this: when you get your health on track, you get your dream life.
This is why I’m so passionate about the work I do. I know what it’s like to feel stuck, and I know what’s possible on the other side of healing.

This is why I prioritized taking a long vacation and bouncing around Europe, living my dream. I finally realized I was *there* I made it… I made it to the point of my health journey where I trusted my body.

Your goals, your dreams, and the life you envision for yourself are waiting. You just need the energy and clarity to reach for them and that starts with your health.

This is my rant on period tracking + ovulation prediction apps:

I need to say this out loud: you are being lied to by your period tracking and ovulation apps.
Those “fertile window” notifications? They are guesses.

Educated guesses sure, but still guesses… based on a 28-day cycle (or past cycle length) that most of us don’t actually have. If you have PCOS, perimenopause, thyroid issues, stress, travel, illness, or just a cycle that isn’t clockwork perfect, those predictions can be completely wrong.

Here’s why that matters:

1. Ovulation prediction is not the same as confirmation. The app doesn’t know when you actually ovulated, it’s just counting days and assuming.
2. Your cycle length can change every month. Apps rarely adjust in real time, so you might miss your fertile window entirely or get a “late period” alert that’s actually right on time for your body.
3. Symptom tracking matters more than math. Cervical mucus, basal body temperature shifts, mid-cycle symptoms… those tell the real story.

I love data, but outsourcing your entire understanding of your cycle to an algorithm is a good way to stay disconnected from your body.

Your body is not a calendar. It’s not broken if it doesn’t fit a chart… it’s giving you data.
Learn to read it, and you won’t need a notification to tell you what’s going on.

This is how I help clients lose weight:

A gentle approach involving…

(Highly suggest following this framework)

1. Improving digestion: By optimizing digestive health, the body efficiently absorbs nutrients, encouraging a healthy metabolism aka helps the rate at which you burn calories.

2.Reducing Inflammation: Addressing inflammation through mindful food choices and lifestyle habits not only fosters better health (we can see this in lab work!!) but also facilitates a smoother path to weight loss*

*Often times, I see clients' lab numbers change, and symptoms improve even before weight loss!!

3. Finding a balanced diet: explore a balanced and enjoyable approach to nutrition. No strict regimens; just an exploration of nourishing foods that seamlessly fit into your daily routine.

4. Stress management: Chronic stress triggers overeating and hormonal imbalances, which commonly prevents weight loss, so incorporating relaxation techniques like deep breathing, meditation, reading, or journaling is crucial

5. Fixing sleep habits: insufficient rest disrupts metabolism and increases cravings, making it essential for women to prioritize a good night's sleep to support their weight loss journey.

Which is most important? The combination of all of them. Only choosing one won't produce strong results, unfortunately.

Where to start? Food + Sleep

Your liver does a LOT more for your hormones than most women realize.

Hormones don’t just need to be produced… they also need to be properly processed and cleared from the body. That’s where the liver comes in.

Your liver helps metabolize hormones like estrogen so they can be eliminated efficiently. When digestion, blood sugar, stress, sleep, and overall metabolic health are struggling, hormone balance can be affected too.

This is one reason symptoms like:

• PMS
• Bloating
• Hormonal acne
• Fatigue
• Heavy periods
• Mood swings

can sometimes be connected to more than “just hormones.”

And no, this does *not* mean you need a trendy detox tea or juice cleanse.

Real liver support usually looks much less dramatic:

• Eating enough protein
• Supporting blood sugar balance
• Getting enough fiber
• Strength training
• Improving sleep
• Managing stress
• Staying hydrated
• Supporting gut health

Your body already detoxifies naturally. The goal is to support the systems already built to do the job.

Hormone health is about the whole body working together — not quick fixes.

Not all hormone tests are created equal...

If you’ve ever been told “your hormones are normal” but you still feel off, you’re not crazy, and you’re definitely not alone.

Most conventional hormone tests only scratch the surface. They look at a single moment in time (usually via blood), don’t account for daily fluctuations, and often miss how your hormones are being metabolized or cleared.

In functional medicine, we go deeper.
We use comprehensive hormone testing like DUTCH (dried urine) and full thyroid panels with optimal ranges, not just “normal” ones. This means we can assess cortisol rhythms, estrogen detox pathways, progesterone balance, androgen excess, thyroid conversion, and more.

If you’re dealing with:

1. Fatigue or brain fog
2. Cycle changes, irregularity, or PMS
3. Hair loss, low libido, or acne
4. Mood swings or anxiety
5. Weight that won’t budge no matter what you try...

It might be time for a more root-cause approach.

Fertility conversations online tend to swing between two extremes:

“You have plenty of time.”
or
“If you’re over 30, it’s too late.”

Neither is actually helpful.

Yes, fertility naturally changes with age. Egg quantity and quality decline over time, and conception can become more difficult in your mid-to-late 30s and beyond. But fertility is also influenced by far more than just your birthday.

Your hormones, stress levels, sleep, nutrition, metabolic health, and lifestyle all play major roles in reproductive health.

Some of the biggest ways to support fertility naturally include:

• Prioritizing protein and nutrient-dense foods
• Supporting blood sugar balance
• Strength training instead of excessive cardio
• Improving sleep quality
• Managing chronic stress
• Reducing exposure to endocrine disruptors
• Learning and tracking your cycle

And most importantly: understanding your body before there’s a problem.

Women deserve better fertility education — not fear-based messaging or unrealistic promises.

Your body is not “expired” at 35. But your health habits do matter more than most people realize.

Fertility is nuanced. Hormones are interconnected. And reproductive health is about so much more than getting pregnant. Want to learn more? Check out my website for more info!
