She's the one who remembers eye appointments, refills the supplements, keeps the toile
My Easy Fall Morning Routine To Make More Progesterone & Regulate My Nervous System | E291
Fall is coming, and with it, that itch to overhaul your whole routine. Please don't.That urge to overhaul everything hits me too every single fall.

Instead, I'm sharing the exact non-negotiables th

PMS Root Cause Clues on a Functional Gut Test With Dr. Heather Rhodes | E285
Dr. Heather and I just did something we've never done on this podcast before. Can two hormone practitioners actually guess a client's gut test results just from her symptoms alone?That's the game we played on this week's episode, and honestly, neither of us knew if we'd end up looking brilliant or completely humbled.

Things You’re Doing To Decrease Progesterone And Make PMS Worse Without Knowing It | E281
What if your progesterone problem has nothing to do with your hormones, and everything to do with your alarm clock? Stay with me.
