You did not get sick overnight so you can not expect to feel better overnight.
I remember when a mentor told me I shouldn’t be a nutritionist because “people are just too sick now a days and can’t get better with diet alone.” That stuck with me. This changed my perspective and I realized I could not just help people to eat better but I needed to really dive deep … …
10 Things I wish women knew about their bodies
I remember when I first started learning about women’s health, nutrition and physiology in an effort to heal myself, I was so utterly and completely fascinated with everything I was learning, clearly this is one of the reasons I do what I do today.

Things you don’t have to do to balance your hormones vs. Things you should do to balance your hormones
If I had a dollar for every woman that has told me these silly stories I would be one rich bitch. “I was told to eliminate dairy and sugar for my PCOS because they are inflammatory” “I was told to go low carb because I have insulin resistance” “I was told to seed cycle to … …
DIGESTION: The missing piece to your hormone healing journey
The number one biggest thing I hear women say when they are struggling with their health is “it’s just hormonal.” I hate to break it to ya but it’s never JUST hormonal and taking some random hormone balancing supplement, getting unnecessary surgeries, hormone replacement therapy, birth control or fancy cream/powder is not going to get … …
95% of women that go on a diet gain back all the weight they lost & then some
I remember that feeling, that high I got when I started seeing changes in my body and the scale. I wanted to shout it from the rooftops. I wanted everyone to know about the diet I was on and how good I felt. Until I didn’t. I remember throwing away all the bigger clothes I … …

Anyone else sick of it? These insanely unattainable made up body standards? We are constantly being bombarded with the next new diet, shake or cleanse that will help you lose weight, clear your skin, get rid of cellulite and fix whatever society tells us needs to be fixing. We are told that our happiness and … …
What you think you have vs. What is actually going on
Skipping meals. Forgetting to eat because you are too “busy.” Waiting too long to eat. Using substances during the day to cope with your mental health issues. Girlfriend. Get yo’ shit together + eat.

Cycle syncing for hormone balance
You walk into your holistic doc or nutritionists office and you tell them about all the hormonal symptoms you are experiencing. They recommend seed cycling.

13 foods on my weekly grocery list that support hormones + digestion
Take note I did not mention salads, smoothies, green juices, nuts and seeds, broccoli, cauliflower, plant-based processed garbage, and whatever fancy thing you are being told to take for your hormones and better digestion.

Stressed is desserts spelled backwards: How sugar is medicine for your hormones
Alright, who’s the asshole that decided to make sugar the bad guy? You fool. Clearly these people do not understand basic physiology (especially female) and how sugar is utilized in the body or have any desire to help people understand WHY their cells are not using sugar well. Sugar = energy baby! And hold your … …
What you are told is causing your health problems vs. What is actually causing your health problems
Girlfriend. Listen up. It’s not that simple. Eliminating dairy, sugar and meat to try and fix your symptoms is LAZY. You heard me. It’s lazy. It likely won’t solve your issues but certainly puts a nice sparkly bandaid on them for the time being. Well that is, until these eliminations stop working and you are … …
You Need to Truly Feel to Heal
Do you ever wonder why there are women out there that can drink a bottle of wine every night, smoke cigarettes, eat whatever they want and never exercise a day in their life but will live and thrive until they are hundred years old? And you are over there drinking green drinks and kombucha at … …
