    Jun 5 2025
    Hey Friend, Have you ever been told, “Your bloodwork looks fine.” ...but you still feel anything but fine? You're exhausted, inflamed, bloated, or just not yourself—and deep down, you know something isn’t right. That’s exactly why I recorded this week’s podcast episode: 👉 “How to Use Your CBC Panel to Finally Feel Normal Again” Most doctors glance at your Complete Blood Count (CBC) and move on—because it’s “within range.” But I’m here to tell you: normal isn’t the same as optimal. This episode is all about looking at your labs through a functional lens so you can finally understand what your body is trying to say. Inside this episode, I’ll walk you through: ✅ The 6 most overlooked markers in your CBC: — WBC — Neutrophils — Lymphocytes — Eosinophils — Basophils — Monocytes ✅ What each of them reveals about hidden infections, inflammation, parasites, food sensitivities, and more ✅ The patterns you should actually be watching for ✅ And how all of this can help you stop guessing—and finally start healing Your body is not broken, sis. It’s brilliantly designed by God to speak to you—and your CBC panel is one of the clearest ways it does. Let’s stop ignoring what your body is whispering and start responding with truth, clarity, and action. You can feel normal again—starting with the labs you already have.

    104. Why You Can’t Seem to Balance Hormones, and How Addressing Inflammation Will Turn Things Around P.S. It's a Spicy Episode. Buckle Up!
    May 27 2025
    Hey Friend, Let me ask you a hard question... What if the reason you can’t seem to balance your hormones isn’t because you’re doing it wrong… But because you’re starting in the wrong place? I get messages every week from Christian women who are trying all the things—seed cycling, progesterone cream, hormone-balancing supplements, adaptogens, you name it. But they’re still exhausted, moody, inflamed, and frustrated. Sound familiar? In this week’s podcast episode, I’m sharing the truth most practitioners overlook: 👉 Hormone imbalances are a message, not the root problem. And 9 times out of 10, that message is pointing to chronic inflammation. 🧠 Mood swings 🩸 Irregular cycles 🥱 Fatigue that doesn’t lift 🧘‍♀️ Anxiety or low libido 💥 Bloating and belly weight that won’t budge None of these symptoms are random. They’re signs your body is inflamed and overwhelmed—and until that inflammation is addressed, your hormones can’t get back in balance. 🎧 Listen now: Why You Can’t Seem to Balance Hormones—and How Addressing Inflammation Will Turn Things Around I’m also opening up about my own experience with a 6-month-long missing cycle, and how healing inflammation—not adding more supplements—was what finally brought my body back into balance. This one is honest, practical, and packed with insight. If your hormones feel out of control, please listen to this episode. It just might be the missing piece you’ve been looking for.

You can eat clean, take the supplements, track your hormones, and still feel stuck if your gut isn’t working the way God designed it to. I learned this the hard way.
