beyond quick fixes.
Oh girl if you knew what was in store for you. Life won’t always look like it does now. You have so much power inside of you to heal, change, grow, evolve and become whomever you want to be.
Our bodies have an innate ability to heal when we give them the tools to do so.

These topics don’t just apply to the ladies seeking to clear skin, regain a period or optimize fertility. These topics actually apply to most all of my clients including those on a weight loss journey, managing autoimmune conditions or healing the gut. Many root causes overlap.
Rather than focus on which hormones are “out of balance” by testing hormones FIRST (which is what I did), we want to focus on creating a safe, calm, nourished body. This will impact all the upstream factors that influence your hormonal systems as a whole.
Check out the Blood Sugar Workshop where I walk through key topics in the Happy Hormones Nutrition Guide.
Join me on the Unfiltered Nourishment Podcast where I break down complex nutrition science and functional medicine topics + share others healing journeys.
Ready to start feeling more in touch with your body and menstrual cycle?
At Unfiltered Nourishment, we aren’t about shaming anyone for using medications like hormonal birth control, we just want all women to feel empowered with options. If birth control isn’t feeling right for you or you simply want to see how you feel off of it, the Happy Hormones Nutrition Guide is a great place to start learning how to prepare your body to come off of if. Additionally functional labs like a DUTCH panel can give you further insight into your hormones.
What does nourishment really mean?
When all three areas are prioritized, we can see massive transformation.
Food is somuch more than just calories. Vitamins, minerals, fiber, tastes, textures and the rituals we create with foods and drinks impact the bioenergetics of food.
Fitness is the best tool to level up our mental and physical health. However, fitness should not be used as the only was the calm our minds. This can actually lead to an imbalance in our nervous system (shown through markers such as Heart Rate Variability, menstrual health and even muscle recovery).
Frequency refers to our energetic vibration. Our frequency is impacted by the mental, emotional and spiritual practices we integrate into our lives. These can help us build self-awareness, allowing us to commit to more challenging goals and become aware of which habits are no longer serving us.
Before we even get to functional labs, I encourage you to learn and implement the protocols from the three guides below. This is what we focus on in Tier 1 of the Flourish Membership. Learning and taking action to create change in our lives is an on-going journey, but getting started can feel like the hardest stage!
Why eat for hormones? How is this different than normal “healthy eating”?
When it comes to nutrition, there really is no one-size-fits all approach. Much of my work as a registered dietitian has been helping both pre-menopausal women (meaning still menstruating) and menopausal women learn how to eat in a way that supports their endocrine systems. Unfortunately, years of misinformation and the dieting industry promoting low-fat, low-calorie diets has been extremely harmful for women’s health outcomes. Lack of micronutrients in our food supply has also played a part. Pioneers such as Weston A Price Foundation and women’s health experts like Dr. Lara Briden and Dr. Christian Northrup have been sharing how to eat whole-foods, nutrient dense diets for years now. In my coaching I share principles from these timeless resources as well as the most current, nutrition research on women’s health.
