I’ll bet my favourite kitty that you’ve never had leptin tested 👀

It’s rarely included in routine pathology panels, even in many fertility investigations, yet it plays a central role in whether the brain initiates ovulation at all.

When a high-functioning woman comes to see me for cycle changes or fertility support, I’m often thinking about energy signalling upstream. Not just ovarian hormones.

Leptin is produced by fat cells and travels to the hypothalamus, where it helps inform the brain whether there’s enough overall stability to proceed with reproduction. And that stability isn’t just about food intake. It reflects nervous system load, sleep patterns, circadian rhythm, and sustained output.

If someone is running on go-go energy, sleeping inconsistently, managing constant cognitive demand, and living in a low-grade stress state, leptin signalling can shift, even when standard hormone panels look kind of normal.

Ovulation is a brain decision.
Leptin is part of that conversation.

It’s not routinely tested. But in the right clinical context, it can change how the whole picture is interpreted ❤️‍🔥

I’m often asked what foods are great for hormone health ❤️‍🔥

And while there are foods that can be incredibly supportive, the less sexy truth is this:

It’s not just about what you eat—it’s about how your body handles it.

Polyphenol-rich foods are a good example. They can help guide hormone signalling and support hormone clearance, but they rely heavily on gut and liver function to do their job. If those systems are struggling, the impact is often underwhelming.

This is why hormone work rarely comes down to a simple food list.

It’s systems work, and the nuance matters.

If you’re curious about what’s actually driving your hormone picture, that’s the work I do in clinic 🤗

Not sure where to start? That’s exactly why the free 15-minute health assessment exists.

This isn’t a mini consult or a rushed sales call (❌). It’s a low-pressure space to:

– ask questions about how I work
– understand my process and what working together actually looks like
– talk through what’s going on for you at a high level
– get a feel for me, and whether I’m the right practitioner for you

If you’re feeling curious but hesitant, overwhelmed by options, or just want clarity before committing to an initial consultation — this is the place to start.

No assumptions. No obligation. Just a conversation to see if it feels aligned 🫶🏻

This year has been… a ride 🤡

And if you know me personally, you’ve basically watched the plot twists unfold in real time…

Honestly, I think I’ve been a lot of people’s highlight reel this year (just my life providing endless lol’s).

But here’s the thing: even when life is chaotic, your body doesn’t get the “just keep up” memo. It whispers first.

Sleep goes rogue. Energy tanks. Mood shifts. Digestion complains. The 2–3am wake-ups become part of your personality.

Mine did all of the above.

So instead of pretending I was fine, I went back to the foundations, the same ones I lean on with my patients.

Nervous system support, inflammation management, circadian rhythm, solid nutrition, movement that regulates rather than drains… the unsexy things that actually change how you feel day to day.

If this year dragged you through it too, and your body has been waving flags you’ve been trying to ignore, reach out.

You don’t have to guess your way through stress, hormones or recovery. Hit up yo girl who knows a thing or two about getting through sh*t with a (fake) smile on her face 🙃😆
