I’ve been training on the DUTCH hormone test since this spring, and I’m excited to now be incorporating it into my practice.

The DUTCH allows us to go deeper than traditional hormone testing.

Hormones are complex, and it’s not always as simple as high or low.

The DUTCH test gives us a comprehensive look at what your body is producing, what’s available to use, and how your hormones are being metabolized and cleared.

And that matters because all of these pieces can impact how you feel.

Most importantly, the DUTCH can help us better understand why you may be experiencing things like fatigue, hair shedding or hair loss, worsening PMS, changing cycles, adult acne, sleep changes, or feeling like you’ve just lost your spark.

It can also give us direction on how to better support and rebalance your body, because what works for one person isn’t always what works for another.

If you’d like to learn more about DUTCH testing and how I use it with my clients, comment DUTCH below.

For many of my clients who come to me with exhaustion, poor sleep, never waking up rested, or feeling like they just can’t get through the day like they used to, we often find an imbalance in their cortisol pattern or daily rhythm.

And while our world loves a quick fix, this is one area where we can’t overlook lifestyle.

The right supplements can absolutely support the body while we address the root cause, but there’s typically a lifestyle piece that needs attention too.

And that isn’t always as easy as taking a supplement, but it’s just as important.

So many women today are living in a pressure cooker. 🤯

Constantly on the go, 500 tabs open in their brain, and finding it hard to truly rest.

But your body needs time outside of that constant fight-or-flight state.

Rest is part of healing.

Giving your body opportunities to tap into the parasympathetic nervous system creates space to rest, repair + recover.

That’s why nervous system support is often part of the work I do with my clients. There’s no “right” way. The key is finding what works for you.

🌿 EFT/tapping
🌿 Yoga or gentle stretching
🌿 Meditation or breathwork
🌿 Journaling or prayer
🌿 A quiet walk outside without your phone or a podcast
🌿 Reading a hard copy book
🌿 Gardening or another calming hobby
🌿 A warm bath
🌿 Simply sitting outside and doing...nothing

With the transition into a new season, what’s one thing you can prioritize to help yourself slow down and nourish your body?

If you’re dealing with PMS, breast tenderness, heavy periods, headaches, mood changes, bloating, or stubborn weight gain, estrogen dominance could be part of the picture.

But simply taking a supplement like DIM to “detox estrogen” isn’t always the answer.

And if you’ve tried it and your symptoms haven’t improved, you know what I mean. 🤣

This is why I love using the DUTCH test to help my clients evaluate their hormones.

It’s beneficial to know exactly what’s going on with your hormones and estrogen metabolism so we can support your body in the appropriate way.

If you’re experiencing symptoms or simply want to better understand your hormones, comment HORMONES and I’ll send you more information on how I support my clients. 💕

Bone health probably isn’t something you think about every day, but during the perimenopause years, it deserves a little more attention. 🦴

And no, taking a calcium supplement isn’t the whole answer. 🤪

🎧 In this week’s episode of The Whole You Podcast, we’re talking about what actually supports strong, healthy bones as we age, including:

✓ When to consider a DEXA scan�✓ The vitamins and minerals that matter for bone health�✓ Why protein is important�✓ Walking and strength training (spoiler: both are supportive!)�✓ Practical things you can start doing now to support your bones

Because when it comes to bone health, being proactive now can make a big difference later.�

I’ve been in the health and wellness space for nearly 15 years, and if there’s one thing I’ve learned, it’s that there is rarely a one-size-fits-all answer when it comes to our health.

You deserve more than being told everything looks “normal” when you clearly don’t feel well.

And you deserve more than another generic plan telling you to eat better, exercise more, and manage your stress.

Maybe you’re falling asleep in the car pickup line, bloated by the end of the day, noticing your PMS symptoms are on another level, or struggling with stubborn weight around the middle.

We tend to chalk these things up to age, perimenopause, or just being a busy mom.

While these symptoms may be common, they aren’t normal.

And you don’t have to just live with them.

I can help you.

I walk my clients through a simple three-step process to understand what their body needs and help them feel better:

1️⃣ ASSESS | Dig deeper into your symptoms, health history + functional labs to understand what may be contributing.

2️⃣ RESTORE | Create a personalized plan based on what your body actually needs.

3️⃣ THRIVE | Put your plan into action, adjust along the way + build habits that last.
