Truths about your body you didn’t know you didn’t know
What worked for someone else might not work for you
How many times have you watched a friend succeed on a fad diet, only to have that same diet leave you feeling broken, undisciplined, and unworthy? The truth is, there’s no single diet that works for everyone. No supplement, medication, or trend will magically erase the symptoms that refuse to go away just because it worked for someone else. When it comes to health, there is no one-size-fits-all solution. Your body is unique — and it’s supported by your individual lifestyle.
True healing begins when you discover what works for you.
Your period isn’t a problem to fix
Periods suck. PMS is part of being a woman. You just have to live with it.
This is the message so many of us grow up hearing — because that’s how our culture talks about the female cycle.
But is it true?
It doesn’t have to be.
There’s a natural rhythm to your hormones that creates shifts in how you feel and function throughout the month. When you learn to follow that rhythm — to understand what those shifts mean and how to respond to them — you’ll begin to experience the ease your body was always capable of.
Your body was built to fast — and women need to fast differently
Your body has two natural energy systems: one that’s active when you’re eating, and another that activates when you’re not. In the absence of food, your body clears out damaged cells, burns stored fat, and strengthens your immune response. We need to utilize both systems.
But you may have heard that women shouldn’t fast. The truth? Women can fast — just not all the time. Hormones matter. In the second half of your cycle, the hormone progesterone takes the lead, and it doesn’t respond well to extended fasting. When we ignore this and fast anyway, progesterone can’t do its job. That’s when symptoms like hair loss, irritability, or missing periods show up.
The problem isn’t fasting itself — it’s when we’re fasting. When you work with your cycle and give your hormones the support they need, fasting can be a powerful tool.
Symptoms are messages from your body
We’re often taught to silence or suppress symptoms, but symptoms aren’t the problem — they’re your body’s way of communicating that something needs attention.
Your body is designed to stay in balance — a state called homeostasis. When something shifts out of alignment, it speaks up through symptoms like fatigue, anxiety, bloating, brain fog, or irregular periods. These signals are not random — they’re clues.
Instead of overriding them, you can start to view symptoms as valuable information. Your body isn’t failing you. It’s speaking to you. And when you learn to listen, you can respond with the care it needs to return to balance.
Counting calories alone doesn’t work… it’s blood sugar that matters
“Calories in versus calories out” is the secret to looking and feeling better, right? Not quite — because your body doesn’t process all calories the same way. It responds to what you eat, not just how much.
When you eat, your blood sugar rises. If it rises too high too quickly — usually from processed or refined foods — it sets off a chain reaction. Your body releases insulin (the hormone that helps move sugar into your cells for energy) to bring levels back down, but this often leads to a crash — leaving you tired, irritable, and craving more sugar. Over time, this can disrupt hormones, interfere with sleep, increase inflammation, and throw off your gut health.
Calorie counting doesn’t account for any of this, but understanding blood sugar does.
It’s not about eating less. It’s about eating in a way that keeps your blood sugar steady.
Belly fat isn’t just about food and exercise
Fed up with stubborn belly fat that won’t go away no matter how much you exercise or watch what you eat? You’re not alone — and you’re not doing anything wrong.
Belly fat needs to be addressed through a hormonal lens. When your body can’t properly break down and clear out hormones like estrogen and cortisol (your stress hormone), those hormones can build up — and one of the places they get stored is in your belly fat.
This isn’t a matter of discipline. It’s about supporting your body’s ability to process hormones so it doesn’t need to store the excess.
Perimenopause to menopause — you don’t have to suffer through the transition
As your hormones decline during perimenopause, you may feel increasingly out of control and powerless to stop it. While the effects of shifting hormones are inevitable, suffering is not. You can ease the transition into your post-menopausal years by aligning your lifestyle — from nutrition to rest to movement — with the hormonal changes happening within you. You can shift your symptoms and take your power back.
