𝗧𝗼𝗺𝗼𝗿𝗿𝗼𝘄 𝗶𝘀 𝗮 𝘁𝗿𝗮𝗽. 𝗦𝘁𝗮𝗿𝘁 𝘁𝗼𝗱𝗮𝘆—𝗿𝗶𝗴𝗵𝘁 𝗻𝗼𝘄.
Overcoming procrastination isn’t about hustle culture—it’s about clearing the mental clutter and making success easier to grab. Here's how to make it automatic.

Let’s be real: starting is the hardest part.
Your brain wants the comfort zone. It’ll feed you every excuse in the book:

🚫 “I don’t have time.”
🚫 “Oh yeah… I was gonna…”
🚫 “I’m too tired.”
🚫 “I’ll start tomorrow/next week/eventually.” (Aka...never.)

But change becomes way easier when you eliminate the friction.

Here’s how to start acting like your future self—today:

✨ 𝗦𝗲𝘁 𝗼𝘂𝘁 𝘆𝗼𝘂𝗿 𝗴𝘆𝗺 𝗰𝗹𝗼𝘁𝗵𝗲𝘀 𝘁𝗵𝗲 𝗻𝗶𝗴𝗵𝘁 𝗯𝗲𝗳𝗼𝗿𝗲.
Make the choice before you’re tired.

✨ 𝗣𝘂𝘁 𝘄𝗮𝘁𝗲𝗿 𝗼𝗻 𝘆𝗼𝘂𝗿 𝗻𝗶𝗴𝗵𝘁𝘀𝘁𝗮𝗻𝗱.
Hydration = energy. Do it before your feet hit the floor.

✨ 𝗞𝗻𝗼𝘄 𝘆𝗼𝘂𝗿 𝗺𝗲𝗮𝗹𝘀.
Plan ahead or grab one of my done-for-you menu plans. No guesswork.

✨ 𝗜𝗻𝘃𝗲𝘀𝘁 𝗶𝗻 𝗮𝗰𝗰𝗼𝘂𝗻𝘁𝗮𝗯𝗶𝗹𝗶𝘁𝘆.
A coach, a gym, a class—"skin in the game" helps follow-through.

✨ 𝗣𝗿𝗲-𝗽𝗼𝗿𝘁𝗶𝗼𝗻 𝘆𝗼𝘂𝗿 𝘀𝗻𝗮𝗰𝗸𝘀.
Even healthy stuff (nuts, cheese, etc.) can snowball calories.

✨ 𝗦𝗲𝘁 𝗮 𝘀𝗹𝗲𝗲𝗽 𝗮𝗹𝗮𝗿𝗺.
Winding down matters more than you think.

✨ 𝗪𝗿𝗶𝘁𝗲 𝘁𝗼𝗺𝗼𝗿𝗿𝗼𝘄’𝘀 𝘁𝗼-𝗱𝗼 𝗹𝗶𝘀𝘁 𝘁𝗼𝗻𝗶𝗴𝗵𝘁.
Get it out of your head and off your chest.

✨ 𝗙𝗶𝗻𝗱 𝗮𝗻 𝗮𝗰𝗰𝗼𝘂𝗻𝘁𝗮𝗯𝗶𝗹𝗶𝘁𝘆 𝗯𝘂𝗱𝗱𝘆.
Community = momentum.

You don’t need to be perfect.
You just need to start.

𝗦𝗼 𝘁𝗲𝗹𝗹 𝗺𝗲: what ONE thing will you set up today, to make tomorrow easier?

Phthalates are man‐made chemicals used in products such as flexible plastics (think vinyl, yoga mats), personal care and cosmetic items (especially those with "fragrance"), and many household goods like detergents, adhesives, and sealants.

▪️𝗣𝗲𝗿𝗳𝗼𝗿𝗺𝗮𝗻𝗰𝗲 𝗳𝗮𝗯𝗿𝗶𝗰𝘀: Like Part 1's BPA, phthalates are used in the production of workout clothes made from synthetic fabrics like nylon and polyester blends - they help with moisture wicking and stretchiness. Research has found elevated levels of phthalates in sports bras, athletic shirts, and leggings.
▪️𝗚𝘆𝗺 𝗺𝗮𝘁𝘀 𝗮𝗻𝗱 𝗳𝗹𝗼𝗼𝗿𝗶𝗻𝗴: Many yoga mats and gym flooring contain phthalates since it helps make the material more flexible. These chemicals can leech out, especially during sweaty sessions, and get absorbed through the skin.
▪️𝗪𝗲𝗶𝗴𝗵𝘁 𝗮𝗻𝗱 𝗚𝗲𝗮𝗿: dumbbells, kettlebells, and other items may have coatings that contain phthalates. Some fitness bands/smart watches also can contain PFAS and other chemicals.

Phthalates are tied to an increase risk of:

It’s not one-size-fits-all.

If you wake up with gut issues, nausea, or sluggish digestion… skipping breakfast might help you reset your system (especially if it’s a processed carb-heavy meal).

If you're looking to do Intermittent Fasting, you may postpone breakfast into more of a mid-morning meal or just wait till lunch.

But if you’re training in the morning, skipping food can increase cortisol and slow recovery.

“If your everyday nutrition isn’t sufficient, your game day nutrition won’t make a difference.”

I saw that quote recently and it hit hard. It’s the kind of reminder I wish more people actually absorbed.

I get a lot of questions about what to eat during a race or long hike, what supplements to take for energy, or how to prep for a big weekend event—and while yes, that all matters… it’s not the fix if the foundation is shaky.

You can’t out-fuel chronic fatigue.

You can’t out-electrolyte a stressed-out gut.

You can’t slap gels and drinks on top of poor recovery, under-eating, inflammation, and then expect to feel like a badass out there.

And if you have IBS or loose stool - you're constantly (LITERALLY) flushing your energy and nutrients down the toilet. So let's fix that and let you OPTIMIZE your health and nutrition.

What you do every day - the way you support your hormones, train your digestion, and fuel your mitochondria - is the thing that actually shows up with you at the starting line.

Sleep matters. Sunshine matters. Rest and recovery matter. Managing cortisol matters. Protein, carbs, and fat matter. Reducing inflammatory foods daily matters. High quality supplements matter. Mindset matters. It all plays into your day to day preparation, as well as the big day.

So yeah… game day matters. But think of EVERY day, a "game day."

In a world that constantly bombards our bodies with hormone disruptors…
It’s no wonder you might resonate with some of these symptoms:

Heavy bleeding with your period — or heavier than what’s normal for you…
▪️Fibroids. Endometriosis.
▪️Gallbladder issues — maybe even removal.
▪️Sudden, rapid weight gain that doesn’t make sense.
▪️Feeling weepy… sometimes over the most ridiculous things.
▪️Painful periods, more cramping, more clotting.
▪️Mood swings. PMS. Depression. That irritability that hits out of nowhere.
▪️Your periods are lasting longer — bleeding for more days of the month.
▪️Migraines. Tension headaches.
▪️Even abnormal pap smears, past or present.

These symptoms are common — yes.
But they are not just part of “being a woman.”
And they are not things you have to suffer through silently.

They are signs of estrogen dominance — a hormonal imbalance that’s become increasingly widespread in modern women. And here’s the good news: there’s a lot we can do about it.

We can reduce our daily chemical load.
We can support the way our bodies naturally detoxify estrogen.

Simple things help:
✨ Starting your day with warm lemon water
🥦 Eating cruciferous vegetables like broccoli, kale, and arugula
💧Using castor oil packs to support liver and lymph flow

These small shifts, done consistently, can support your body’s brilliant design and bring your hormones back into balance.

If you’ve ever felt dismissed…
If you’ve ever been told “everything looks normal” while your body screams otherwise…

Now is the time to trust yourself again.

Come join the DFYD Inner Circle's 5-Week Hormone Reset Challenge and learn how to honor your body, rebalance your hormones, and finally feel like yourself again.

I’ll see you inside. 💛

Still feeling off… but your labs are “normal”?

Let’s get something straight: hormone symptoms are not just in your head - and they’re definitely not “just stress” or “just getting older" (though chronic stress DOES play an important role, it's not to be shrugged off!)

What you're seeing in this chart is the reality for thousands of women navigating hormone hell… while being brushed off at the doctor’s office.

🌀 Heavy periods?
🌀 Breast tenderness?
🌀 Brain fog and mood swings out of nowhere?
🌀 Insomnia that wasn’t there before?
🌀 Hot flashes or vaginal dryness long before menopause?

These are biochemical signals, and issues that occur during perimenopause. And while we cannot fully control that stage of our life change, we CAN do things to improve the process and suffer less.

This chart breaks down just a few of the symptoms associated with high estrogen, low progesterone, and low estrogen states. These are three very common imbalances I see in women who feel tired, foggy, puffy, and burned out… even though they’re “doing everything right.”

But most women are never taught how their hormones actually work, how they shift throughout their cycle and lifespan, or how everyday things like stress, training load, gut health, and sleep affect them.

So we’re changing that.

💥 The DFYD Inner Circle is opening soon 💥
Inside, you’ll get real answers, real protocols, and real support — including:

▪️ A 5-Week e-Course to better understand your hormones and how to heal
▪️ Functional nutrition guides that break it all down simply
▪️ Lab testing guidance (if you want)
▪️ Targeted support for perimenopause, PCOS, fatigue, GI issues, and more
▪️ A badass community of women reclaiming their health

GALLBLADDER INFO ALERT! (And parasites. You’ve been warned)

It’s amazing the number of people I talk to who have been dealing with mystery pain and GI issues — and eventually, with no other real idea, the doctors will remove their gallbladder.

Sometimes the pain subsides for a time... but often, it comes back.

So the GB wasn’t actually the root cause issue.

Surprisingly - parasites may be!

Certain parasites (most notably Giardia and E Hystolitica, both of which you CAN get fairly easily right here in the US without traveling the globe) can sometimes cause that RIGHT UPPER QUADRANT pain, and may mimick what appears to be Gallbladder disease.

So, if you are struggling with that sort of pain with no answers, or your doctor is proposing surgery, reach out to me first! We can at least check and see - and rule it out as a possibility with an at-home stool collection test that will look for the DNA of not only parasites, but also give us a view of your overall digestive health, inflammatory load, and microbiome balance. (No microscopes here! Much more accurate)

And if you HAVE already had your GB taken out and are still struggling, let’s talk! Not only should we see if we can find that root cause, but you also may need to be on a good Ox Bile supplement to make up for the lack of your body’s own natural bile production now.

Struggling with any of these issues?

▪️Weight issues (often with extra fat around abdomen and thighs)
▪️Thyroid issues
▪️Adrenal issues

▪️Autoimmune
▪️Migraines
▪️Accelerated aging
▪️Decreased libido

XENESTROGENS are "foreign” estrogens... essentially, substances that are close enough in molecular structure to estrogen that they can bind to estrogen receptor sites and block your real estrogen from doing what it needs to do.

Xenestrogens are tied with estrogen dominance, and early puberty. Other long term effects linked to persistent exposure and/or estrogen dominance include:

This stuff matters! Be mindful of chemicals and cleaning products, as well as conventionally-raised animal products and milk.
