Your gut and hormones are way more connected than we were ever taught. And the best part? Supporting them doesn’t have to be complicated.

Even the smallest daily habit, like 2–4 tbsp of sauerkraut, a little yogurt, or a glass of kefir can boost your microbiome diversity by 20–30%. When your gut is happier, your hormones have the foundation they need to feel steady, balanced, and predictable.

I love simple shifts that actually make a difference. If you’re feeling off lately, overwhelmed, or not sure where to start with your hormone symptoms… start here. Tiny habits add up.

And if you want a deeper, personalized plan or you’re curious what working together looks like, I offer free meet & greets so you can ask questions and see if it’s a good fit. 💛

Let’s be honest… life is full.
Kids running around, work deadlines, dishes stacked, a million things on your mind.

So if getting support for your health means loading kids into the car, driving across town, and sitting in a waiting room… it’s probably not happening 😅

That’s why I meet with my clients virtually.

You can show up exactly how you are! Cozy on your couch, sipping your favorite tea, baby on your hip, or squeezing in a chat on your lunch break. You still get the same deep, personalized care… just with way less stress.

Your health should feel doable. It should feel supportive.
And it should always fit into your life. 💛

If you’ve been curious about naturopathic care or just want someone who will actually listen, I’m here for you.

Hi, I’m Dr. Jen Overbeck (Naturopathic Doctor) 👋
Did you know cholesterol is the building block of your hormones? 🤯

We need cholesterol to make:
• Estrogen
• Progesterone
• Testosterone
• Cortisol (stress hormone)
• Vitamin D ✅

So when cholesterol is too low, hormone symptoms can show up…
• Fatigue
• Low libido
• Irregular cycles
• Mood changes
• Blood sugar swings

But when cholesterol is too high, it’s often a communication signal from the body that something else needs support👇
• Blood sugar/insulin dysregulation
• Thyroid imbalance (especially low thyroid!)
• Chronic stress + cortisol demand
• Liver/gallbladder sluggishness
• Inflammation in the gut or body

Instead of fearing cholesterol, I help my patients focus on healthy cholesterol metabolism, supporting the liver, gut, adrenals + thyroid so hormones stay balanced. 💛

Your body isn’t malfunctioning , it’s messaging you.

As a naturopathic doctor, I believe women deserve to truly understand their hormones, not feel confused or dismissed by them. 💛

One of the most impactful books I’ve read is Hormone Intelligence by Dr. Aviva Romm. It explains the menstrual cycle as SEASONS, each with unique needs, strengths, and shifts:

🌸 Follicular — Spring: new energy + creativity
🔥 Ovulatory — Summer: confidence + connection
🍂 Luteal — Autumn: grounding + nourishment
❄️ Menstrual — Winter: rest + reset

When you support each season, everything starts to feel better:

• less PMS + period pain
• balanced mood + energy
• steadier hormones all month long ✨

If you’re ready to understand your cycle and feel like yourself again…

📩 Send me a DM with “HORMONES” and let’s work together.

You’re not meant to suffer through your cycle, you’re meant to THRIVE in it. 🤍

Strong is the new balanced,
Especially for women over 40.

As estrogen naturally declines, we lose muscle and bone density faster, unless we intentionally build it back.

Studies show women 40+ who lift weights just 2–3x/week:

✅ Maintain muscle mass and strength
✅ Support bone density
✅ Improve insulin regulation
✅ Experience better estrogen balance

(Journal of Aging & Physical Activity, 2018)

And no, you don’t need a gym membership or intense workouts ⬇️

Small habit = big results:

• Bodyweight exercises at home
• Resistance bands
• 10–15 minutes of lifting 2–3 days a week

Your hormones want you to be strong, not shrinking.

Your future self will thank you every time you pick up a weight. 💛

Balancing hormones doesn’t have to include a dozen supplements or complicated routines.

As a naturopathic doctor, I love grounding my meals in intentional ingredients, like seed cycling! 🌱

✅ During the follicular phase (cycle days 1–14), I sprinkle flax + pumpkin seeds into my salads.

👉 Easy way to remember: “F + P = Follicular Phase”

These seeds provide nutrients that support healthy estrogen metabolism and adding them to lunch takes 2 seconds.

It’s the little daily habits that build better hormone health. 💛

Research shows thyroid hormones and cortisol fluctuate between summer and winter, a survival mechanism that helps your body adapt to light and temperature changes.

When we ignore that shift and keep living like it’s July (aka - late nights, cold foods, nonstop pace), our hormones struggle to keep up!

Fall is your cue to fuel warmer, rest deeper, and embrace slower mornings.
That’s not woo woo, that’s physiology.

If you’re feeling the seasonal dip — fatigue, mood changes, metabolism shifts — I help women restore balance naturally through personalized hormone care.

Your body shifts with the seasons & your habits should too 🍂

1️⃣ Choose grounding, warm meals
2️⃣ Protect your sleep
3️⃣ Move gently and intentionally
4️⃣ Balance blood sugar
5️⃣ Keep cortisol calm

You don’t need a full overhaul! Just small, steady shifts that honor your body’s rhythm.

In one part of the world, digestion is treated with herbs and acupuncture.
In another, it’s nutrition and lifestyle changes.
In another, it’s stress and nervous system support.

The truth? There’s no single “right” way, only the one that fits you.

That’s what naturopathic medicine is all about: blending global healing wisdom to meet your body’s unique needs. 🌿

PMS can feel like it takes over your entire month, but it doesn’t have to be this way. 🌸

I help women every day get to the root of their PMS, looking at hormones, nutrition, and key labs so they can feel like themselves again.

With a few strategic tweaks and personalized guidance, many women notice huge improvements in just a few months. No more mood swings, bloating, or fatigue controlling your life.

If you’ve been struggling month after month, it might be time to address the root cause instead of just surviving it. 💛
