When women come to me with hormone symptoms—thyroid issues, PMS, hot flashes, mood swings, or low energy—the last place they think to look is their Gut.

✅Gut issues like low stomach acid is one of the hidden root causes of hormone imbalances.

✨ Symptoms of low stomach acid may include:
• Bloating or fullness after meals
• Burping, reflux, indigestion
• Undigested food in stool
• Nutrient deficiencies (iron, B12, zinc, magnesium)
• Frequent gut infections or Candida

✔️And when nutrients aren’t absorbed, your thyroid, adrenals, and s*x hormones (estrogen, progesterone, testosterone) don’t have the raw materials they need.

💡 What causes low stomach acid?
• Chronic stress → when your nervous system is in fight/flight, blood flow leaves your gut to prioritize your heart, lungs, and muscles. Digestion slows down.
• Certain medications (acid blockers, antibiotics, birth control, NSAIDs).
• Aging (acid production naturally declines over time).
• Infections like H. pylori.
• Poor diet, too much sugar or processed foods.
• Overeating or eating on the go (mindless eating = weak digestive signals).

The emotional/nervous system piece is huge: your gut cannot heal if your body constantly thinks it’s in survival mode.

👸🏻This is why in my work with women, I don’t just look at the hormones—I look at digestion, stress, and the gut first. Because when stomach acid and digestion improve, the entire hormonal system begins to rebalance.

If I had a scrapbook diary to share, this would be it. 📖✨
The pieces of my own journey — the habits, the food choices, the lifestyle shifts — that became the stronghold for optimizing bioidentical hormones.

If you’re a woman in late perimenopause (like I am), or already in menopause, and you feel your hormones still aren’t working the way you hoped… it may not be the hormones. It may be the foundation around them.

Yes, AI and tools like ChatGPT can give us information. But nothing replaces real conversations with real women who’ve been there — who’ve felt the symptoms, done the work, and found what actually helps. Nothing can beat real life experiences! ⭐️

That’s why I’m offering a free 30-minute consultation. Not with a chatbot. Not with a textbook. But with me — a practitioner who lives this journey too. 🌿

💌 If you’re ready for that conversation, message me today. Let’s build your foundation together. Send me a message and I’ll send you a link for a free consultation.

➡️ I often get messages from women asking:
💬 “Does HRT cause my bloating? Is it the reason my belly is getting bigger, I feel heavier, and I’m losing confidence in my body?”

These questions are so real — and I hear them from women in their 30s, 40s, 50s, even 60s.

👉 Here’s the truth- based on evidence and clinical experience:
Yes, bioidentical hormones like estradiol and progesterone can have side effects such as bloating. They can influence:
• Fluid retention (estrogen can cause water to be held in tissues)
• Gut balance & the estrobolome (estrogen–microbiome connection)
• Body composition (declining estradiol means more belly fat + less muscle mass)

But bloating and weight gain during perimenopause/menopause are rarely just one thing.
They’re also driven by:
☑️Natural increases in inflammation
☑️Greater insulin resistance
☑️High-carb eating patterns leading to water retention
☑️Muscle loss with age

This is why so many women struggle with “menobelly,” bloating, and stubborn weight gain.

💡The takeaway: HRT may play a role, but it’s only one piece of a much bigger picture.

📌 In my next post, I’ll share what you can actually do to reduce bloating and start feeling good again in your body. Stay tuned — you won’t want to miss it.

👉 If you’re ready for clarity now: book a free 30-min consultation via the link in my bio (Linktree). Let’s uncover your root cause and create a clear plan forward.

On this Women’s Equality Day (Aug 26), I’m reminded of how far we’ve come since the 19th Amendment in 1920 gave women the right to vote. And while this is a U.S. commemoration, I believe it belongs to all of us.

Because equality is not just about the right to be heard—
It’s about having agency over our bodies, our choices, and our health.

Here’s to better research, better access, and a future where every woman has the tools and respect she deserves. 🌸

👸🏻One thing I’ve learned in perimenopause is that our energy becomes sacred.
➡️We get more selective. More discerning.
➡️We don’t want to waste time, and we definitely don’t want to waste energy — because it’s not as endless as it once was.

⭐️At this stage, I look at health with so much more intention, thoughtfulness, and personal research. I want every choice I make for my body to count.

⏰Time is precious.
⚡️Energy is even more precious.

So when we commit to something, it has to be:
✨ In alignment with our body
✨ Respectful of our resources
✨ Supportive of our environment and season of life

➡️Because when we work against ourselves — forcing, resisting, pushing in the wrong direction — the journey becomes an uphill battle. And when the uphill becomes too steep, motivation fades.

🩵That’s why I believe in starting with the basics and moving in the right order — not jumping from one “miracle” to the next. No more running on the hamster wheel of frustration.

🛑We don’t need drugs that give us long-term side effects.
We don’t need to starve ourselves or compare our bodies to celebrities.
We don’t need quick fixes that pull us farther away from the natural way of living.

🙌🏽What we do need is to reconnect with the way our bodies were designed to thrive — in sync with nature, fueled by whole foods, supported by rest, movement, sunlight, and the right nourishment.

🦋When you work with your body, the results are more than physical.
They’re sustainable.
They’re empowering.
They’re yours. 🫶🏽

Anout 7 years ago, when the world felt upside down, Covid lockdown- we found ourselves “stuck” on one of the most beautiful islands in Asia — Boracay, Philippines. What was meant to be a stopover became years of sunsets, turquoise waters, barefoot walks, and deep inner work. 🌊✨

Looking back at these photos, I see a woman with stable hormones ( lol😛) high energy, regular cycles, and a vegetarian heart. That chapter shaped me in ways I could never have planned.

Now, in perimenopause, my body is changing — and so is my mind. This is why I tell my clients:
💛 Once in a while, take stock.
💛 Look back at the photos where you felt alive, vibrant, and beautiful. ( Not to feel bad , but to be proud of how far you’ve come)
💛 Remember the stories behind them.Both the beautiful and ugly

We rarely take pictures when we’re in the low moments, the puffy-eyed cries, the bloated belly days… but those joyful snapshots remind us of who we are beyond the changes in our bodies.

So this August, I invite you: share a photo from one of your golden chapters. Tell the story. Let it remind you how far you’ve come — and how much of her still lives in you. 🌸
