Should you continue taking progesterone if you want to get pregnant?

Aside from the (obvious) answer of asking your prescribing physician..

I do believe that if you have a history of low progesterone and were prescribed any sort of progesterone support, then I would recommend you DO continue taking that prior to and during (part of) pregnancy.

Progesterone is pro-gestation so it is vital in pregnancy and we see a lot of women improve their fertility by incorporating this bioidentical hormone.

What’s your experience with progesterone for fertility?

Again, this is not medical advice and you should ask your prescribing physician (our MD on staff supports our clients with prescriptions)

The 3 ways to know if you are ovulating - all within your own body!

Cervical mucus -

protects and transports s***m

starts out thick and snot-like means you’re in your fertile window

thin, clear, egg-white means you’re ovulating

Basal body temperature (bbt)-

your temperature at rest changes depending on where you are in your cycle

confirms ovulation (does not predict)

provides insight into your thyroid health

cervix position-

higher, wetter and softer during ovulation

Which is your favorite method? Does it match mine?!

Special weekend celebrating our girl and Palm Sunday💕 Been all up in my feels per usual about it 🥹☺️ so thankful

Orthodox Christians follow the Julian calendar which means we celebrate on a different day (except every 4 years it’s the same)!

New month! Save + share this post for your next grocery or farmers market trip. 📌

Benefits of eating seasonal produce:

- cost effective
- better for environment
- richer flavor
- higher nutritional content due to when food is picked
- opportunity to support local farmers + shop local

_If your food doesn’t have to travel too far to get to you, then it’s better for your health.

What do you plan to incorporate this month? I have been loving sumo oranges and would love to make something with rhubarb and strawberries.. feels very spring and summer to me!!

PMS can have several causes; however, one low-hanging fruit solution to try is to increase sulforaphane. This compound is found in cruciferous vegetables and can help detoxify excess estrogen.

Why does this matter?

If you have PMS, you may not be detoxifying excess estrogen enough. This could lead to migraines, acne, bloating, sore brea$ts, and more.

So, but supporting your body’s ability to get rid of extra estrogen, you’ll potentially be able to get rid of PMS.

Cycle syncing has had its boom the last few years amongst women trying to “balance their hormones” and I totally get the reasoning behind it -

until you actually look at research behind metabolic health benefits to NOT cycle sync.

If you are unfamiliar with cycle syncing, it’s the concept that you sync your food, workout and other lifestyle routines to match the phase of your cycle. In this example, I’m diving into syncing your workouts to your cycle.

The argument for cycle syncing workouts:

work WITH your hormones (don’t push too hard during luteal and go crazy during ovulation)

supports energy levels

gives your body a rest during “low hormone” states

The argument to NOT cycle sync workouts:

interrupts progressive overload in strength training (difficult to build muscle and gain strength when you’re cutting your intensity every two weeks)

research shows it doesn’t actually interfere with hormone shifts

Now, I’m all for bio individuality and believe that YOU know your body best; however, I also suspect you can probably continue to lift weights throughout your entire cycle and feel just fine.

I personally may decrease reps or weight by 5 lbs during my period, but I don’t ever skip lifting weights just because I’m menstruating.

I encourage you -truly - to be consistent and see how much stronger and capable you feel by continuing to life throughout the entire cycle.

Super curious to her your experience as this topic very 🔥

Big sister advice: period edition. 🩸🫂

In case you didn’t know, your “cycle” is day 1 of your period until day 1 of your next period. It is not just your period.

This is something that we review with clients as we unfortunately weren’t properly taught verbiage!

If you missed it, I’m sharing the “I wish I knew” information about cycle health this month so go back to my posts and get caught up.

Stay tuned for more big sister advice to learn what we SHOULD HAVE learned and pass this info along.😉

How did this resonate? If you do not experience this and wonder why, send me a DM. We can dive into what other factors contribute to our hormones (metabolic and gut health) and discuss how to address it.

I truly think our bodies are miraculous and miracle-makers and want you to celebrate this! When we have an imbalance in our hormonal activity, it IS hard, so I want to validate that; however, I want to EMPOWER you to seek to understand and change! You’re not doing this alone- join our team to learn how to finally get easy periods.

Your period is like a **monthly health report**. When it’s regular and functioning normally, it usually means your hormones, nutrition, stress levels, and reproductive system are working together properly.

I saw this with myself - when I didn’t menstruate regularly, I felt my worst. I had acne, was having diarrhea, very irritable and overall inflamed.

After improving my overall health, my periods returned and were regular, painless and easy. Now, I teach you to do the same thing.

But..: I do want to mention that just because you get your period every month does not mean you’re ovulating. Those are called anovulatory cycles 🔁

Check out my last post to learn why ovulation is so important and keep following along for more content like this during the month.

Stay tuned as we continue to dive into hormonal health in upcoming posts.

People often associating ovulation only being important in the context of fertility, but that’s not true at all.

We see it time and time again with clients. When they restore their cycle health and start ovulating, they feel calmer, more stable and more like “themselves.”

When I finally got on hormonal birth control and started ovulating again — my panic attacks conveniently went away 🙃😏

Swipe through to find out why this is considered your monthly report card. Slide 6 also shares why I personally find this most important!

Stay tuned for more period health content this month and feel free to tell me what you want me to cover 🫂👏

The duo you don’t know that you need is a neuromuscular therapist and a holistic health coach.

We combine lab work AND body work to help your body heal.

Your lab work can show inflammation markers and give us clues as to why you have symptoms, but the hands-on body/breath work are what amplify your healing.

A resilient nervous system is the true “root cause” that everyone is looking for and you’ll find that with us.

Schedule a free consultation with James to discuss how to eliminate pain, move better and lower inflammation.
