Ep 227: A Holistic Approach to Hormone Balance w/Leisha Drews
Are you ready for a candid conversation about hormones, monthly cycles, and perimenopause? After over 5 years of podcasting, I’d say it’s about time! What you may consider a “normal” period (moodiness, cramping, breast tenderness, fatigue) my guest would call “red flags” of hormone imbalance. But it doesn’t have to be this way. Leisha Drews is here to offer a holistic approach that prioritizes nutrition, stress levels, and rest so that you can show up as the best mom you can be.
We discuss:
- Red flags that your hormones are out of balance
- “Normal” vs. “Healthy” menstrual cycles
- How stress leads to hormone imbalances
- What your body prioritizes during times of stress
- How too much or too little exercise affects hormones
- The pillars of a nutritional approach to hormone health
- Why you may not be hungry in the mornings and why that matters
- Thoughts on intermittent fasting
- Learning to trust your instincts when it comes to your health and the health of your kids
- What to focus on as you enter perimenopause
- Encouragement for moms who feel like a slave to their hormones
