As women, we all know the struggle of hormonal imbalances. One day we feel on top of the world and the next we're dragging ourselves out of bed, feeling irritable and low. The highs and lows caused by fluctuating hormone levels can take a toll on our physical, mental, and emotional health. But it's not just about our hormones being too high or too low.
Have you ever had your doctor tell you that your hormones are fine but you know in your gut something is wrong? You are experiencing weight gain, hair loss, low libido, mood swings or lack of sleep but they tell you that everything is in the "normal range." Being normal in an unhealthy world is not healthy. We have to sometimes look deeper and find out what is causing the changes and shifts. It's a sophisticated puzzle, a balance, but it doesn't have to be complicated!
When I am working with my patients and hormone clients, I don't start with the problem area, we go back to the beginning, the pituiary gland and hypothalamus where hormones start their regulations. We start supporting these areas, which in turn will also then support the thyroid and ovaries as well as ALL the hormones. We don't look at needing something just for the thyroid or just for the ovaries, we look at the whole system.
So what does this look like? It looks like using a product to support the whole endocrine system using a blend of minerals, with Ginger, Myrrh, Cassia, Clary Sage, and Canadian Fleabane. Add in ashwaganda to the mix which is known to enhance communication within the endocrine system. The result is a women’s balancing formula that supports a healthy and balanced endocrine system.*
Next we look to add another product to support the whole endocrine system & maximize internal health with a formulation of pregnanolone & DHEA. These two substances are produced naturally by the body but decline with age. Pregnenolone is the key precursor for the body's production of estrogen, DHEA, and progesterone, and it has an impact on mental acuity and memory. DHEA is involved in maintaining the health of the cardiovascular and immune systems. These ingredients combine to help support the endocrine system and maximize internal health.*
Third we would look at adding a bioidentical progesterone serum to support optimal hormone balance. As we age, our progesterone levels drop, while our estrogen (from environmental factors) increases, often leading to an estrogen dominance. Progesterone and estrogen balance is important to overall health and when it is out of balance can lead to heart issues, increased cholesterol, issues regulating blood pressure and so much more.
With this 3 formula combination as above, we find that you are starting on the best course of action for supporting your overall hormones and female wellness. Imagine feeling balanced, energetic, and in control of your emotions every day. You CAN achieve hormonal wellness and I can help!
To get started with me is simple. Simply message me to set up a time to chat about your specific needs and set a course of action. I normally work with my patients and clients in 3 month increments and we can talk about that looks like!

As someone who is interested in the benefits of essential oils, it's important to understand the concept of oxidation. Essential oils are made up of volatile compounds that can easily react with oxygen molecules in the air, causing them to break down over time. This process is known as oxidation, and it can significantly impact the potency and efficacy of your essential oils.
To prevent oxidation, it's important to handle your essential oils with care. Avoid exposing them to heat, light, and air, as these factors may speed up the oxidation process over time. Always store your oils in dark glass bottles with tight-fitting lids to prevent air and light from getting in.
In some cases, oxidized essential oils may still be safe to use, but they may have lost some of their therapeutic benefits. Signs of oxidation can include a change in color, a bitter or rancid odor, and a reduction in potency. If you suspect that your oils have become oxidized, it's typically best to replace them and start fresh with a new batch.
Essential Oils That Can Oxidize Over Time:

Taking a break and giving the land some rest can be a great way to rejuvenate your garden. As a Young Living Brand Partner, I believe in being mindful of the environment and taking care of the earth. One way to do this is to follow the concept of Shmita, the Sabbath of The Land, as mentioned in the old testament. This allows the land to rest, replenish, and regain its nutrients naturally, making it more fertile and stronger. I encourage you to give your garden a rest, show gratitude for your land, and help care for it in a way that aligns with your values.
