You don’t need a fancy watch. You don’t need a new app. You don’t need a meal service. You need to double down and make changes. They are often things that are so within reach. Eliminating or adding a food. Cooking meals at home. Making that therapy appointment. Adding in a 10 minute walk. Moving the phone charger from the bedroom. Changing a personal care product. Not going to a certain store, area, or event because of the environment. Reading a fiction book vs consuming another health podcast. Saying no more often, to create some more mental space you’ve been craving. The little changes add up.

We are giving the outside world too much access to our internal world. We need space from stress and it’s our responsibility to create that space. Stop following the news and focus on what’s in front of you. Things you can change and control in your reality. This doesn’t mean you don’t care. Both can exist. Go clean your bathroom 🤣 it needs help. Stop scrolling and do something to lighten your home environment. Your hormones will thank you! Featuring: Force of Nature! I’ve been using this now for a year and really love that it’s nontoxic. Works great on all surfaces!

Ladies, you don’t have to be confused anymore. Did you know that by tracking your basal body information that you can learn,
1) when or if you’re ovulating
2) your exact fertile window each month if you’re TTC or TTA (trying to avoid pregnancy)
3) if you’re ovulating well or making enough progesterone
4) know confidently if your symptoms are due to hormone flux with cycles or something else
You can use it to help you get pregnant.
You can use it to help you NOT get pregnant.
You can use it to track your cycles in perimenopause.
You can use it post partum to know confidently when you will get your first period back after baby and know when other future cycles are going to come. = ZERO surprises
You can use it if you have irregular cycles to help figure out what’s going on, when your ovulation is, or if you’re ovulating at all.
You guys it’s so freaking useful and I recommend it to almost every women I can!! I even use it in my medical practice to help women figure out their cycles and heal their hormonal imbalances.
TempDrop also tracks sleep and other cool things - but it absolutely SHINES in providing you an accurate basal body temperature every single day so you can chart the value and use it with whatever fertility awareness method you use! Doesn’t matter if you have insomnia, are up in the night breastfeeding, or have shift work or travel.
There’s no EMF. It’s a wearable thermometer! TempDrop is also a fabulous company and I’ve been happy to work with them ever since I learned about the device. I’ve used TempDrop personally since 2019 and it’s seriously changed my life. Use my code DRMEGND to get $$ off and STACK it with their Black Friday discount 🥳

If you’re like me, the end of the year is coming and you still have FSA money to spend (I forgot about using it this year oops! I blame 🤰🏼)… So I started to do some research and was shocked by so many on this list!
What have you bought with your FSA/HSA money that made the biggest difference? I want to know 👀

Here’s even more tips below:
The kind of fat you eat matters - avoid seed oils aka processed vegetable oils, and eat the fats which have been around for many years: avocados, butter, beef tallow, lard, coconut oil, nuts and seeds.
If you’re a person who can’t drop your total grams of daily carbs without being insatiably hungry or losing weight, you most likely need to eat more fat. This is common in female athletes.
Fat and protein are the satiety macronutrients, so if you struggle with hunger or blood sugar swings, don’t add more carbs, add protein and fat.
January is a confusing time in the food world. A lot of people are making diet changes and your friends are talking about their yearly cleanse. It can be especially annoying if you feel lost about what to do, or you want to make change but have no idea where to start.
That’s why I am making these 3 posts on the 3 macro nutrients: protein, fat, carbs, in the hope that it helps dispell some confusion.
After working with people for years, I’ve learned that fat is probably the most confusing macronutrient for people.
Remember these things to keep it simple:
1) fat at every meal
2) nutrients follow fat, so that’s why we want fat at every meal
3) under-eating fat won’t help you lose weight or improve your body composition, it will just make you hungry and wack your hormones
4) focus on the good fats, and most people (yes true), can eat as much of them as they want (because fat is incredibly satiating, it’s hard to eat too much) and if you are listening to hunger and fullness queues, then you will self regulate
5) eating excess amounts fat and sugar is the worst combo for ideal body composition - eating a diet high in both usually leads to fat gain
6) no seed oils

Are you wanting to balance hormones, improve your metabolism, lose weight or finally balance your blood sugar?
You don’t have to do anything fancy! You don’t have to do a detox, per se.
If you chose to focus on incorporating animal protein at each meal in the right amounts, then your sugar cravings will go down, your satiety with meals will go up, and your metabolism will improve. You will also notice improvements in mood- whether it’s mood swings, low energy, or anxiety!
My recommendation for most women is get breakfast protein up to the 30-40 gram range. Yes it has to be animal protein.
This makes a HUGE difference and is generally where I start with clients because 95% of the women that work with me are under eating protein in a BIG way!
After you master breakfast, start mastering other skills.
My other trick is making sure you get at least 30 grams of animal protein 3x per day.
This is such a common thing I talk about because it so necessary to heal and shift the body into a healthier state!

You have a lot of choice when you buy beverages out! When it comes to hormone health, the small choices matter. I took this photo today to demonstrate a conscious decision I made to lower my plastic exposure. We went to a coffee shop that I knew does loose leaf tea in paper tea bags. I chose specifically to not go to the coffee shop that only had green tea in little mesh bags- which are plastic, and leach more chemicals into the water than paper tea bags. Are paper tea bags perfect? No, they often have chemicals to make the paper stronger. Is this tea experience perfect? No, I’m drinking out of a paper cup lined in plastic with a plastic lid. But the small decision to get a different kind of tea will lower my plastic consumption and that matters for my overall hormone health and breast cancer risk. In a perfect world, we would all bring reusable stainless steel and never need single use plastics. But we are traveling in Idaho now seeing family for Christmas, and guess who forgot their Hydroflask at home? Me! Sharing this so you can see how while we don’t need to focus on making perfect decisions, we can make focus on making slightly better decisions with the choices we have.

HOW IS YOUR NERVOUS SYSTEM DOING? It’s a great time of year to reflect on this question. Within the month of December, there’s lots of shift. There’s anticipation of the new year and new opportunities but there’s also the holiday bustle which can be distracting and stressful.
This is a time where we tend to be so busy that we lack connection to our inner selves and how we feel- because we have to get STUFF DONE.
But what if we reflected on how we want the next few weeks to go, and made changes to reflect that?
We don’t NEED to buy that gift. We don’t NEED to travel. We don’t NEED to make that dish. We don’t NEED to carry out that tradition that doesn’t work for your family anymore.
What we do during this season can be actively chosen and reflective of your goals!
And that looks differently for every woman and every family! You may need to make changes and slow down. Or you may need to reevaluate how you’re spending this season.
Winter physiologically is a time to slow down. Eat with the season. Have a cup of tea. Read a book and turn down the lights at night. Talk with a friend. The energy of winter is different than summer. Our bodies and hormones feel this shift intuitively and it’s important to work with it, and not against it.
Now if you excuse me… It’s time for my first hot cocoa in a Christmas mug. (It’s warming, has some protein, fat and salt; all of which are nourish my nervous system!)
Are you doing anything different this year for the holiday season?

As I’m walking to the lake this morning with the baby on my back I’m thinking about my patients who are wanting to lose weight.
Let me tell you a secret - you need to WALK.
Walking balances the nervous system and lowers cortisol, which is one reason why it’s so effective for weight loss.
One common mistake people make when starting a weight loss journey is to restrict calories (ladies at 1200 calories I’m looking at you) and increase exercise, which only signals to the body that you’re doing something unsustainable, stressful, and not safe. When your body doesn’t feel safe, NOTHING works, and neither does your body’s ability to burn fat. Dropping calories too low and increasing exercise only signals to the body a lack of safety, causing the body to respond with “oh krap, she’s restricting my nutrients, I’m gonna hold onto fat for dear life (because fat contains nutrients).” What’s created is a damaged metabolism and unsafe nervous system and high levels of stress hormones like cortisol.
To correct this, we need to gradually increase calories and change exercise from super intense to more moderate and lower heart rate range. But depending on how long your body has been in “starvation mode” or “nutrient hoard mode,” it can take a significant amount of time, think years to get the nervous system safe again.
That’s why I always recommend to people- if you don’t know what you are doing, seek help! Time is the only thing we can’t control and can’t get back and what we consider the most precious. So let’s not waste time!
Send this to a person you adore but really needs to see an expert for help in this area. If that’s me, awesome. If that’s someone local to them, awesome.
If interest is there, I’m going to do a webinar on this topic… it’s been too long since I’ve done a webinar! For those of you who are new to this page, I educate on women’s health and hormones, and I have 4 webinars you can purchase and learn from: estrogen, progesterone, cortisol and BHRT secrets!
Walking for weight loss: over 10k steps a day, ideally 15000, done in one chunk or spread out. With optimal nutrition, this can get you places!

This is what life looks like in the kitchen isn’t it mamas! I love photos that aren’t all monochromatic and “IG ready.” We all gotta make dinner in the kitchen that we have! I had my husband take this photo tonight as I was weighing out the goat cheese arugula turkey “burgers” I was making. Often we don’t really KNOW how many grams of protein we are getting per day on average, and a basic food scale is one of the best ways to figure it out. Here I am measuring out 4 oz patties. Since there are other ingredients in the patties, it’s not a full 4 oz of turkey, but probably closer to three oz. Have two and you’re at 6 oz of protein which for most women is a good dose of protein in a meal. I bring up this topic of weighing your protein because most women I work with truly have zero idea how much protein they eat in a day, and because I recommend most women do the 30/30/30 gram rule, we need to know how close you’re getting! This scale is 20 bucks and I’ve had mine for well over 10 years. If you want to transform your body composition, improve insulin resistance, and improve your hormones, you need to eat consistent animal protein. Get a scale and see how you measure up! For those interested, this one is linked in my Amazon store (which I finally updated with all the mama products I’ve been using this year!) Basic recipe: chopped arugula, 8 oz goat cheese, olive oil, GF bread crumbs, salt, spices you like, 3 pounds turkey. Roasted in the oven and we have leftovers to hit our protein goals tomorrow. Make enough for leftovers every dinner meal and you will ALWAYS have a healthy lunch waiting for you!
