Cortisol often gets a bad rap, but it’s actually essential. Produced by the adrenal glands, cortisol helps wake you up, energize your mornings, and regulate your stress response throughout the day. It should peak mid-morning and slowly taper off by night. But stress, caffeine, poor sleep, and even late-night workouts can throw off this rhythm. 

If you can’t get up in the morning or hit that afternoon slump...

In this episode, I have the pleasure of interviewing Dr. Melissa McCreery. 

Dr. Melissa McCreery is a psychologist, emotional eating expert, author, host of the Too Much on Her Plate podcast, and the creator of Your Missing Peace, the program that supports smart, busy women in creating freedom from overeating and peace with food.

Let’s get real for a moment. Not “do you feel overwhelmed?” but how overwhelmed are you… right now?

If your answer is “way more than I used to be,” you’re not alone. In fact, that’s the norm for so many women I speak to—feeling maxed out, overstimulated, and constantly on edge. And here’s the wild thing: most of us don’t even realize how ...

“That’s just part of being a woman.”
“You’re just getting older.”
“Maybe you’re overreacting.”
“It’s probably all in your head.”

Let’s stop right there.

Just because something is common doesn’t make it normal. Let’s break down the top five health issues that women experience far too often—and have been told to ignore.

1. Mood Swings

Yes, your mood naturally shif...

Here’s the truth most people don’t want to hear: the secret to balanced hormones isn’t in a miracle pill or trendy hack. It’s in the boring basics.

As a women’s health and hormone expert, I want to make sure you’re doing these three simple things consistently.

Prioritize Protein & Real Food

If you’re skipping meals, cutting carbs, or living off coffee and snacks, your hormones are...

One of my top questions: What’s YOUR routine like?” So today, I’m walking you through what I actually take on a regular basis — the supplements that give me energy and balance, even in the middle of the chaos. 

A quick note: Yes, I use a lot of supplements. But no, I don’t take everything every day. I listen to my body and respond based on where I’m at in my cycle, what’s going on in my life, and what my m...

If you’ve ever wondered, “Is this perimenopause—or something else?”, you’re not alone. For many women, the symptoms can be confusing and frustrating. But here's the truth: perimenopause is a normal, natural phase—and it doesn’t have to feel like the end of the world.

Let’s clear the air. Common signs of perimenopause include irregular or skipping periods, hot flashes, night sweats, mood swings, anxiety, tr...

You’re not just tired — you’re exhausted. You love your life, your family, your work, but lately, you can’t keep up. You lie down to rest but don’t bounce back. You sleep, but never feel restored. You’ve tried yoga, meditation, more coffee, less coffee… and yet, nothing really works.

Let’s talk about adrenal dysfunction — more specifically, low cortisol and how it mimics, and masks so many of your symptoms...

You’ve been told, “Your labs look normal.” But you’re dragging through your days, snapping over nothing, wide awake at 2 a.m., and feeling like a stranger in your own body. So what's this really about?

“Normal” isn’t the whole story. Most standard lab tests are designed to rule out disease. They’re not built to uncover the roo...

If you're maintaining a healthy lifestyle—regular exercise, balanced nutrition, minimal alcohol—and still experiencing fatigue, weight fluctuations, digestive issues, and hormonal symptoms, you're not alone.

This was Jenny's experience. After two years of persistent health challenges, she came to us as a last resort. She had already spent thousands of dollars on ...

Let’s talk about something that gets tossed around a lot in the world of women’s health — MTHFR. You might have heard it mentioned in conversations about fatigue, fertility struggles, anxiety, or detox issues… but what is it really? And how do you know if it’s affecting you?

Let’s break it down together.

👉 So, What is MTHFR?

MTHFR stands for methylenetetrahydrofolate reduct...

In this episode, I sat down with Alexandra from Just the Inserts for a conversation I’ve been dying to have for years. We talked about informed consent, what those tiny manufacturer inserts actually say, and why so much important information gets lost in our current healthcare system. Alexandra shares how her own experience as a new mom led her to dig deep into the data and turn complex, overloo...

I need to tell you about Brenda.

When she first came to me, she was done. Exhausted, burned out, frustrated. She felt like she was living in a body she didn’t recognize anymore — and no matter how “healthy” she tried to be, nothing was working.

✔️ Her hair was thinning.

Being exhausted every day is not normal.

Not the “I need a little nap” kind of tired.
I’m talking about the kind of exhaustion where:

• You can’t do the grocery store + make dinner...

Have you ever found yourself thinking:

“I’m not doing anything different… but all of a sudden I’m exhausted, gaining weight, snapping at everyone, and feeling like a shell of myself. What is going on?!”

If this sounds like you — please know you’re not crazy, and you’...

As a physical therapist, Samantha spent years treating bodies in pain. But what she uncovered was that so many of her patients — high achievers, athletes, professionals — weren’t just dealing with physical symptoms. They were carrying deep emotional wounds: perfectionism, people-pleasing, addiction to productivity, and shame.

And it wasn’t ju...

Let’s clear something up right now — if you’ve been feeling off with your hormones… whether it’s bloating, mood swings, poor sleep, stubborn weight, low energy, or unpredictable cycles… there’s one simple thing you might be overlooking:

PROTEIN.

I know, you’ve probably heard that protein’s important. But do you really know why it matters for your hormones?

Most women don’t — and i...

Let’s talk about burnout — the kind that makes you feel mentally fried, physically drained, and like even getting through your to-do list is a monumental task.

Here’s the thing nobody tells you: burnout isn’t just “being stressed out.”

It’s a physiological hormonal crisis happening in your body.

By the time most women hit burnout, it’s not just about being tired. It’s about your a...
