NourishThrive

NourishThrive I help people who feel exhausted, inflamed, anxious, or disconnected from their body get to the root cause and feel like themselves again.

Integrating nutrition, circadian biology, and human design to cultivate resilience through authentic alignment. My passion is to help people consciously nourish their body, mind, and soul. I believe in using food as medicine and look at the body as a system focusing on the underlying root cause of imbalances in the body that can have a systemic impact rather than simply addressing individual sympt

oms or health concerns. This includes looking not only at the food we eat, but also our toxic burden, circadian rhythm, cellular and mitochondrial health, movement, stress, sleep, trauma, and energetic alignment. Nothing makes me happier than seeing my clients heal and thrive. I offer 1:1 Telehealth appointments, as well as online courses, and workshops.

Your symptoms are messages. What is your body trying to communicate with you?

Get curious.

What if the severity of your perimenopause symptoms isn’t just about your hormones?

What if it’s also a reflection of your resilience going into the transition?

Your circadian rhythm.
Your nutrition.
Your nervous system.
Your mineral status.
Your metabolic health.
Your ability to regulate stress.

All of these systems influence how well your body adapts when hormones begin to shift.

And this is why I often say that perimenopause can feel like the veil is being pulled back.

Those symptoms you may have experienced for years but learned to manage or suppress can become much louder.

Severe PMS?
Blood sugar instability?
Poor sleep?
Chronic stress?
Digestive issues?
Low energy?

Maybe the question isn’t just, “How do I manage this new symptom?”

Maybe it’s:
“What has my body been trying to tell me all along?”

Perimenopause doesn’t necessarily create every imbalance you experience. Sometimes it exposes what was already there.

And while hormone therapy can absolutely be an appropriate tool for some women, I don’t believe it should be the first step.

You don’t have to wait until your symptoms become overwhelming to start supporting your body.

Build resilience before you need it.

That means looking at the foundations that help your body adapt to change rather than simply chasing symptoms as they appear.

The goal isn’t to “avoid” menopause.

It’s to enter this next season with a body that has the resources to navigate it.

How resilient are you right now?

And what could you start addressing before your body is forced to get your attention?

Your fat cells don’t just store fat. They can also store certain fat-soluble environmental toxins.

And here’s something we aren’t talking about enough with rapid weight loss:

When you rapidly break down fat, some of what’s stored there can be mobilized back into circulation.
Studies have shown increases in circulating persistent organic pollutants during significant weight loss.

Now think about someone whose body is already struggling with fatty liver, poor bile flow, constipation, dehydration, nutrient deficiencies, or chronic under-eating.

Then they start losing body fat VERY quickly.

Suddenly we’re asking the body to process and eliminate more of what’s being mobilized while potentially giving it fewer resources to do that job well.

Could this contribute to some of the symptoms people experience during rapid weight loss? Possibly.

GLP-1 medications themselves have well-established side effects, so I’m not suggesting toxins are responsible tor those symptoms. But could there be another layer? I think it’s worth asking.

And I’m not just thinking about how you feel today.

Some environmental pollutants have been associated with long-term health consequences, including metabolic and immune dysfunction, neurodegenerative disease, and certain cancers. We don’t yet know what rapidly mobilizing these compounds means for long-term health.

This brings me back to something I believe deeply:

The body is intelligent.

Adipose tissue isn’t simply an inconvenient storage depot. Research has described fat tissue as having a buffering function, sequestering certain pollutants and potentially reducing exposure to other organs.

Could holding onto body fat sometimes be protective, directly or indirectly?

This is why I will always come back to supporting the foundations FIRST.

Nourish your body. Support your liver and elimination.
Hydrate. Move. Get enough protein and micronutrients.
Build muscle. Prioritize sleep, circadian rhythm, and nervous system regulation.

The goal isn’t just weight loss. It’s creating a healthier body in the process.

I got a lot of comments after my last post on what I’m seeing clinically with clients who are taking GLP-1s, so I wanted to clarify some things.

First, I’m not here to judge or shame anyone for taking a GLP1. You do you. Just be informed and know what you are signing up for.

Unfortunately, many doctors are not educating their patients on how many calories they need to eat and the importance of getting enough protein and strength training. This is a problem.

If you are already under eating, skipping meals, and not getting enough protein

The response to my last reel has been really eye opening.

So many of you recognized something in what I was describing. Not just about GLP-1s specifically, but about what it feels like to be in a body that won’t cooperate, no matter what you try.

And I think what resonated most was this idea underneath it all.

That we have been taught to manage our bodies from the outside in. Track more. Restrict more. Push harder. Find the right drug, the right protocol, the right fix.

But what if the body was never the problem?

Your nervous system is constantly helping your body answer one question: do I have the resources to meet the demands being placed on me?

When the brain perceives ongoing stress, whether that stress is emotional, physiological, environmental, or metabolic, the body adapts. And some of those adaptations make fat loss harder. Not because you are doing something wrong. Because your body is doing something right. It is protecting you.

What if every symptom, every plateau, every frustrating response has been a message rather than a malfunction?

There is another way. And it starts with nervous system safety. Circadian alignment. Leptin signaling that is actually working. Genuinely nourishing your body instead of manipulating it.

Not the latest fad. Not fast. But it works. And more importantly, it lasts.

Because a body that feels safe does not hold on for dear life. It lets go.

I am going to be talking a lot more about this. If you are not ready to keep fighting your own biology, stick around.

One morning in 2012 I was falling asleep at the wheel driving to my internship. I was literally shaking my head to keep my eyes open.

I’d had 8 hours of sleep. It made no sense.

I was studying functional medicine at the time. I knew more about the human body than most people I knew.

And I still couldn’t see what was actually happening.

I had spent four years pushing through a nutrition degree in my 30’s, started working full time, I was planning a wedding, doing Crossfit 4-5 days a week, and keeping a busy social calendar.

There was no dramatic rock bottom.
No crisis.
Just a woman who had gotten so good at overriding her body that she’d completely stopped hearing it.

It wasn’t until years later, when I discovered Human Design, that something finally made sense.

You cannot supplement your way out of a nervous system that doesn’t feel safe.

If you’re exhausted no matter how much you sleep, if your body won’t cooperate no matter what you try, if you’ve lost the thread of who you actually are underneath all the doing...

That’s not a willpower problem. That’s your body trying to get your attention.

Your body has been talking to you for a long time. Let’s help you finally hear it.

I created a free Human Design Health Report to show you how your unique design affects your energy and the way you’re wired to thrive.
