Ladies, let’s talk hormones!

Whether you’re in your 20s, navigating perimenopause, or on hormone replacement therapy (HRT), understanding your hormone health is everything!
Traditional blood tests give a snapshot, but a DUTCH hormone lab provides a comprehensive view of how your body processes hormones over time.

Why does this matter? What steps can be taken?

- Balances & optimizes your energy, mood, sleep, and metabolism.
- Identifies imbalances that could be causing symptoms like anxiety, weight gain, or fatigue.
- Supports HRT users by ensuring your body is metabolizing hormones safely and effectively.

Knowledge is power—especially when it comes to our health! Have you had a DUTCH test before? Share your experience below! ⬇️ New to DUTCH? Let’s talk about if it is right for you.
You can learn a lot from the DUTCH lab and I can guide you through the process!

2.5 years sober. When I was ready to quit, it just clicked. What I was missing was ritual and the feeling a glass of red wine gave me- the calm and happy and restful feeling. I wanted that back, so I created a mocktail recipe guide with adaptogens and nootropics and wrote a newsletter to share some of my favorites. If you click on the link in my profile, you will be guided to log in for access to a downloadable pdf.

Science! I love my continuous glucose monitor. I ate a BIG meal and my glucose shot up to 156- highest it has been. I took a 9 minute walk and instantly, it started lowering. Down to 122 and now at 108. I love real time data. Walking after meals is said to lower glucose and now I have the proof in my own body!

Did you know? Cheese is sugar. Lactose intolerant means you are unable to process lactose (the sugar in milk). Also, it is a casomorphine. Cheese is mildly addictive due to its protein casein, which your body breaks down into casomorphin. Does the second part of that word remind you of anything? Morphines? These compounds attach to dopamine receptors in your brain, triggering cravings for similar foods. They are a group of opioid-agonists that can have effects on the gastrointestinal tract, cardiovascular, neurological, and endocrine systems.

An interesting side fact is that people on the autism spectrum seem to be more sensitive and a gluten free and casein (the protein in milk) diet is recommended. Here is why a dairy free lifestyle is recommended:
Casomorphin is a milk protein breakdown product that has been linked to autism in a number of studies:

Casomorphin levels
Some studies have found that children with autism have higher levels of casomorphin in their urine than children without autism.

Casomorphin and autism symptoms:
Some studies have found that the severity of autism symptoms correlates with casomorphin levels.

Casomorphin and brain damage:
Some studies have suggested that casomorphin can cause brain damage.

Casomorphin and opioid receptors:
Casomorphins interact with opioid and serotonin receptors, which are known to modulate synaptogenesis.

Casomorphin and dairy-free diets:
Some studies have found that autism symptoms sometimes improve with a dairy-free diet.

Casomorphin and diet therapy:
Some studies have found that children with autism who follow a gluten-free and casein-free diet have lower levels of casomorphin than children with autism who don't have dietary restrictions.

Minimal effort. Nutrient dense.
Turn oven on broil (550 F)
Wash and chop potatoes- add salt and garlic powder and some avocado oil spray…air fryer at 400 F for 25 minutes. Marinated flank steak is cooking meanwhile- 6-7 minutes each side under 550 F broil- top rack. The last 6-8 minutes of air fry (depends on thickness of asparagus- this was 6 minutes)- add asparagus to air fryer. Asparagus had coarse salt and sprayed with avocado oil.
