We’ve walked through a lot together in this series. From blood sugar rollercoasters and sleep disruption to brain fog, libido shifts, and even the overlap with Long COVID—it’s enough to make anyone feel like their body is falling apart. But here’s the truth: you are not broken. You’re recalibrating. The Threads That Keep Showing Up…
For most of my life, I thought my biggest struggles were with weight. The yo-yo-ing, the sizes going up and down, the guilty twinge of vanity when I didn’t like how my body looked. And yes, that’s real — and I know many of you feel it too. But even then, I was aware that…
I’ve definitely had moments where I walked into a room and forgot why I was there. Or climbed the stairs five times, only to stand at the top with no clue what I came up for. Once, I put the milk in the cupboard and my keys in the freezer—all in the same week. And…
Your gut actually produces more serotonin than your brain (yes, your gut is the original mood factory). It also plays a starring role in hormone metabolism. Which means: if your gut is cranky, your hormones are probably cranky, too. Let’s dive into why healing your gut might just be the missing piece in your hormone…

For years I thought sleep was optional — a luxury for people with fewer kids, lighter to-do lists, and more margin. Coffee was my stand-in. But here’s the truth: sleep isn’t optional. It’s the body’s most advanced healing therapy. Without it, even the cleanest food and best supplements can only get you so far. 1.…
Blood sugar isn’t just about diabetes. It’s the rhythm section of your body’s orchestra. When it’s steady, everything else sounds right.
