Are You Menstrual?Today we’re covering a women’s health topic that is near and dear to my heart...and that is PCOS (or Polycystic Ovarian Syndrome). PCOS is the leading cause of infertility in the U.S., and it’s a problem that affects 1 in 10 women of childbearing age. That’s A LOT of us. But the worst part is that there is still so much confusion surrounding this modern syndrome and what causes it—even down to its name, which IMO is a complete misnomer (but we’ll get into that later). Amanda and I have both dealt with the symptoms of PCOS at different points in our lives, and we both know many women who currently struggle with it—which is why we wanted to devote a whole two episodes to this particular hormonal health challenge. The truth is, there’s a ton to unpack when it comes to this common condition, but we’re going to do our best to clear the fog surrounding PCOS.~Resources & Links:Basal body thermometer: https://amzn.to/3fOtvkfVitamin A & Your Hormones Blog: https://www.hormonehealingrd.com/blog/vitamin-AMineral depletions with PCOS: https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/27925712/Full Monty Panel: https://bit.ly/3cWePkcMaster Your Minerals course & Order Your HTMA: https://www.hormonehealingrd.com/master-your-minerals-courseFree Mineral Training: https://bit.ly/3iwRDMkMineral Quiz: https://bit.ly/3ycEn4h

Are You Menstrual?In this episode, we are diving into a topic that many women can relate to--period pain. Period pain used to be considered purely psychological and a reason for women to get out of their responsibilities. Since it couldn’t be identified by a physical or gynecological exam or tested for, those who suffered were mislabeled and told to deal with it. No one could see it, so it didn’t seem real. Now we know that period pain is very real and can present itself in many ways ranging from cramps, back pain, breast tenderness, headaches/migraines, joint/muscle pain. While we will talk about specific symptoms and get into the types of period pain in this episode, we want you to keep in mind that symptoms are communication from your body. It’s tempting to want to find a remedy for a symptom, but in reality, we need to understand why you have that symptom in the first place. This often comes back to metabolic health. If you haven’t listened to the first episode of the podcast, we recommend starting there! ~Links/Resources:Castor oil pack kitCastor oil blogVitamin E from MitolifeBone broth protein (use code HORMONEHEALINGRD10)GelatinMaster Your Minerals Course

Are You Menstrual?We are continuing our minerals series and expanding on one particular part of the Hair Tissue Mineral Analysis (HTMA)--metabolic type. Our metabolic type gives us insight into nervous system balance and the stage of stress our bodies are in. This is helpful information to know on a healing journey to better understand what nutrients you need more of and what stress management activities may be best for you. In this episode, we discuss where metabolic typing came from, the difference between a fast and slow metabolic type, and what the different subtypes are.

Are You Menstrual?When it comes to nutrition for hormone health we absolutely need to focus on eating enough and balancing our meals, but one often overlooked area of nutrition is mineral content. In this episode, we are going to give you a crash course in minerals and explain the benefits of hair testing and how it differs from blood work and hormone testing. Our minerals are like spark plugs--they kick off essential reactions in the body and get things moving. One example of this is an essential mineral that we will talk more about--copper. The body uses copper and oxygen to make ATP, which is our main energy source. The cells in our body require minerals to make energy and hormones, which is why we focus so much on them in our practice. We hope you enjoy nerding out with us!Links:Blog - Mineral Testing vs. Hormone Testing: https://www.hormonehealingrd.com/blog/mineral-versus-hormone-testingMaster Your Minerals course: https://www.hormonehealingrd.com/master-your-minerals-courseBlog - Adrenal Cocktail: https://www.hormonehealingrd.com/blog/adrenal-cocktail-recipesBlog - Blood Sugar Dysregulation & Minerals: https://www.hormonehealingrd.com/blog/blood-sugar-and-mineralsLearn how to start monitoring your metabolism with our Free Healthy Period Starter Guide: http://bit.ly/healthy-period-guideSign up for our weekly Feminine Periodical newsletter: http://bit.ly/2tWOBtwFollow us on Instagram: http://instagram.com/hormonehealingrd/

Are You Menstrual?In this episode, we dive a little deeper into the nuances of good nutrition—and more specifically, the most common nutrition myths being perpetuated by the wellness industry. It seems as though there is an increasing number of foods being demonized by health coaches and doctors alike as of late, which makes us wonder what the heck we are supposed to be eating. Well, what we have to say about a few of those “problematic” foods might just surprise and excite you.Five Foods Covered:Red MeatDairyCoffeeSugarGlutenLinks:Blogs:Saturated Fat:https://www.hormonehealingrd.com/blog/saturated-fat-friend-or-foeIs Dairy Bad For Hormones?: https://www.hormonehealingrd.com/blog/dairy-and-your-hormonesWhy Can’t I Tolerate Dairy?: https://www.hormonehealingrd.com/blog/why-cant-i-tolerate-dairyIs Coffee Bad For Your Hormones?: https://www.hormonehealingrd.com/blog/Hormone-Friendly-CoffeeSavorista Coffee (coupon code AMANDA): https://savorista.com/Paleovalley Bone Broth Protein (coupon code HORMONEHEALINGRD10): http://bit.ly/3d1wHYzGreat Lakes Collagen: http://amzn.to/2x3Kta9Learn how to start monitoring your metabolism with our Free Healthy Period Starter Guide: http://bit.ly/healthy-period-guideSign up for our weekly Feminine Periodical newsletter: http://bit.ly/2tWOBtwFollow us on Instagram: http://instagram.com/hormonehealingrd/

Are You Menstrual?In this episode, we expand on metabolism and dive into the specifics of what your metabolism needs to properly function and support every other system in the body. But before we dive in, we have a challenge for you. We’re going to ask you to let go of everything you’ve learned in the past about how to eat—including how much you should eat, what foods you should (or should not) eat, and when you should eat. Throw out all of your rules on nutrition and listen to this episode (and remaining episodes) with a fresh perspective on nutrition and lifestyle. It’s time to rewire your brain and rethink what it looks like to nourish your body.  Because, chances are, it’s not what you think.Links:TDEE Calculator: http://tdeecalculator.net/Follow Our Blog: https://www.hormonehealingrd.com/blog/How-Often-Should-I-EatLearn how to start monitoring your metabolism with our Free Healthy Period Starter Guide: http://bit.ly/healthy-period-guideSign up for our weekly Feminine Periodical newsletter: http://bit.ly/2tWOBtwFollow us on Instagram: http://instagram.com/hormonehealingrd/

Are You Menstrual? The first step we take with the women we work with to improve their hormones and overall health is unlearning. So many of us have been dieting from a young age and constantly hopping from one restrictive diet to the next. Leaving our bodies in a constant state of stress and depleting essential minerals that allow us to thrive. This leads to a slowing down of our metabolism. Most people hear the word metabolism and think of weight loss, but it’s actually so much more than that. Our metabolism is the basic process our body goes through to convert food to energy. If this process slows down that means we have less energy, which means more hormone problems. In this episode, we walk you through the basics of our metabolism, how stress and dieting impact it, and signs that your metabolism needs support.Links:Learn how to start monitoring your metabolism with our Free Healthy Period Starter Guide: http://bit.ly/healthy-period-guideSign up for our weekly Feminine Periodical newsletter: http://bit.ly/2tWOBtwFollow us on Instagram: http://instagram.com/hormonehealingrd/
