Is your wellness dependent on something outside of you—like supplements, detoxes, or endless protocols?
In this episode of Make Peace with Food, I open up about one of the most overlooked truths in the wellness world: real transformation starts when we stop outsourcing our health. I share why personal agency is the missing ingredient for lasting hormonal balance, especially during perimenopause and menopause.
We’ll explore the hidden ways we become codependent on “quick fixes” and how that actually blocks healing. I talk about the rollercoaster of hormonal shifts, cortisol spikes, and emotional stress that many of us silently navigate—and how tuning into your body’s inner cues is the key to sustainable change.
You’ll also hear the practical tools I use and teach—like syncing with your circadian rhythm, healing leptin resistance, and adopting hormone-safe movement. Plus, how to create your own metabolic blueprint that evolves with your body and supports you at every stage of life.
