E168: Lose Weight for the Last Time While Keeping Hormones Happy with Kelsey Wickenhauser
Send us a textWeight gain can be a side effect of hormone imbalances, but I'm a big believer that our bodies have to feel safety to be able to lose fat effectively, and we create that safety through nourishment. When the body is well-nourished, we can start to focus on weight loss, and my guest Kelsey is walking us through some of the misconceptions we have when it comes to fat loss, and what women need to do to lose weight in a sustainable way - we're throwing out the fad diets, keto, starving yourself, and weight loss meds and talking about how our bodies were created to stay at a healthy weight in the first place.

E167: Hormonal IUD
Send us a textI have one more episode in the birth control series for you today - a much requested episode on the hormonal IUD. I'm covering how the hormonal IUD works, how the Mirena, Skyla, and Kyleena IUDs are different, and how you can support your body during and after IUD use for happier hormones. I'm answering questions like "what should I expect from my cycle with an IUD?" and "Will I ovulate with an IUD?"Birth control is a deeply personal choice and I really believe that women should have informed consent when it comes to this topic - which means getting so much more information than you would typically get at a doctor's visit! The bottom line is this: Whatever choice you make can always be made better with good nourishment, good detox support, and learning to interpret the rhythms in your body so you can have more energy, periods without pain, and a stable mood all month long (even during PMS week). If you're ready to get off of birth control and wanting to conceive in the next year come join us in Nourish Your Hormones so you can not only replenish + recover post birth control but you can set a foundation of nourishment for both you and baby during your pregnancy and beyond.

E166: Restoring Minerals & Liver Detox Post Birth Control
Send us a textWelcome back to our birth control series!Today I'm talking about WHY you need to replenish your minerals and crucial vitamins post birth control and how replenishing minerals and supporting the liver can actually help overall with hormone balance whether you're trying to conceive or just wanting to have happier hormones all around. In this episode I'm sharing some of my favorite ways to support the liver through food, and how supporting the liver increases your ability to have balanced blood sugar, more energy, and less stress on the body. We're also talking about how you can replenish minerals in a way that's safe & effective without upsetting the mineral balance in your body and causing more problems down the road. Remember - you can't supplement your way out of a lifestyle that isn't working for your body, whether that's crazy high stress levels, not nourishing well, or a combination of both. That's why I have the step by step for you inside of Nourish Your Hormones so you can not only have better periods, more energy, and kick your PMS to the curb, but you can do it in a way that's sustainable for your busy life so you don't end up back in the same place a few months later...but with more baggage.

E165: How Hormonal Birth Control Affects the Gut and How to Replenish & Restore Gut Health Post Pill
Send us a textWelcome back to our birth control September series, we're finally moving into the conversation of how to replenish your body after birth control and recover from the effects it has had on your hormones and gut. Today, gut health is the main focus and I'm sharing some of the ways birth control affects the gut that are often overlooked, including an increased risk of leaky gut and even a 30% increased risk of severe gut symptoms like IBD. I believe that women deserve fully informed consent when given any medication, and gut health is not something we're often given info about when we start taking birth control. Birth control can also cause you to burn through more nutrients and minerals so I'm walking you through the steps I would take if I were coming off of birth control, trying to restore my gut from previous birth control use, or preparing to conceive after birth control.

E162: How Does Birth Control Affect Your Brain, Body, and Emotions During AND After Taking It?
Send us a textWe're starting a new mini-series this month, all month long I'm going to be talking about birth control, both hormonal and non-hormonal and walking through many of the nuances of how birth control affects us in our bodies, minds, and social lives. Today I'm kicking off the series and talking about some of the lesser-known effects of birth control on the body - the way it can change brain function and mood, and how it even affects the ability to lean into our feminine. If you have noticed that you don't handle stress well, have mood swings, or even feel like you aren't processing emotions like you'd like to...it could be your birth control (or your history of birth control!)The next few weeks I'm going to cover what options we have for birth control and do my best to provide more fully informed consent for women when we make choices about our reproduction as well as talking about how we can recover minerals, vitamins, and gut and liver health to have happier hormones post-birth control.

Too often we look at one lab test, or take one supplement to fix one symptom we are having... or worse we jump on the birth control train and that is not serving our whole self.When we take a holistic view at hormone balance, we look at all of the root causes (yes, usually more than one) and as we work toward understanding and treating things from that place, often times a cascade of healing happens!!Part of healing is knowing yourself and what fills your cup.

Send us a Text Message.Welcome back to DAY 2 of Refresh Your Hormones! Quick! Grab a friend to join with you... it's so much better to do these things with your girlfriends.We're back together today and I wanted to meet you where you are at. If you're here, you've likely started "doing" things that you *thought* would help you, but they seemingly aren't doing as much as you had hoped.Let's talk about the emotional and spiritual side of who we were created to be as women, and how we can lean more into the way our bodies were meant to work and to heal. When we lean into our feminine energy a little more in our motherhood, nutrition, hormone balance journey it really helps us to shift out of the restriction mindset, the perfectionist mindset and to be more in tune with what our bodies are telling us and WHY. Physically the pituitary gland in the brain runs the show when it comes to stress and how your body responds to stress, and it speaks directly to the adrenals and the ovaries. These hormone systems are speaking to each other, and if your body is not getting signals of safety, it directly affects the way your body makes and detoxes hormones because it will prioritze keeping you safe. In this episode:[03:32] Why does it feel like I'm doing something wrong or my approach is wrong because I still have symptoms...[06:01] Masculine Energy vs. Feminine Energy[11:37] Physiology of Hormone Balance[15:28] How people usually view balancing hormones[20:00] What is pro-metabolism?[22:40] Why we need to ask, "What is my body telling me?"Resources:Sign up for challenge emails here: www.leishadrews.com/refreshLET ME HELP YOU FIX THOSE HORMONES:FREE RESOURCESLove Your Liver GuideHormone Imbalance QuizCOURSE + COACHING (When you’re ready to fix your hormones without the drama of figuring it out on your own)Nourish Your Hormones Course1:1 Hormone CoachingPRIVATE PODCAST MINI-COURSELeave a 5 star rating on the podcast and DM me the word RATING on IG @leishadrews for $20 off the Restored mini-course on blood sugar balance.

E157: Overcoming Overwhelm & Focusing on What Matters Most for Your Hormones - Refresh Your Hormones Mini-Course DAY 1
Send us a Text Message.Welcome to DAY 1 of Refresh Your Hormones! I'm SO glad you're here and am soooo excited to get started.I want you to walk away from the next few days feeling encouraged, lighter and more clear on exactly what your hormones need and how you can do that in your full life. If you want to get the MOST out of this week you need to be in our challenge group for coaching & support (FREE) - just go to www.leishadrews.com/refresh and we'll send you the link to join!Overwhelm comes from too much information, not enough clarity in that information, and not enough nourishment. Today I am boiling down on what it actually means and what it looks like in your body and hormones to be overwhelmed and burnt out. I talk through the 3 stages of stress and how that affects our minerals in our body and why nourishment is key in reversing state of stress.When you are under stress you use your sodium and other minerals more quickly, and release more free radicals which cause inflammation and disease in your body.

E136: TBT - What's Causing Low Libido & How to Fix It
Send us a Text Message.Hi friends! Today I am diving into one of the topics that has been a long time coming... Libido! There is somewhat of an epidemic (my words) of low libido in women and this should be more concerning than it is. Low libido is not "normal" and it actually is comes out of running low in other areas of your life.The environment around us, birth control (impacting thyroid function + gut issues), and emotional factors are all culprits that can cause low libido and I break it all down in this episode. If you are a woman or a mom that is in a season of high stress, overwhelm, lack of capacity and/or exhaustion - there is no way your libido is going to be high! It's time to take a step back and find ways to fill your cup. Listen in to know why that's actually important. In this episode:[04:02] What is libido?[07:20] Environmental factors for low libido[11:21] Emotional factors for low libido[15: 55] Polarity and leaning into your femininity[19:52] My favorite way to increase libido quickly [21:55] A challenge to look inwardOther Episodes You Might LikeEpisode 14: What I wish I Knew Before & After Birth ControlEpisode 16: Birth Control Recovery - How to Nourish & Rebalance your Hormones after Birth Control (Part 2)Episode 66: How I Support My Hormones in Follicular WeekLET ME HELP YOU FIX THOSE HORMONES:FREE RESOURCESLove Your Liver GuideHormone Imbalance QUIZCOURSE + COACHING (When you’re ready to fix your hormones without the drama of figuring it out on your own)Nourish Your Hormones Course1:1 Hormone Coaching - 4 June/July spots left!PRIVATE PODCAST MINI-COURSELeave a 5 star rating on the podcast and DM me the word RATING on IG @leishadrews for $20 off the Restored mini-course on blood sugar balance.

Hi friends! Today I am diving into one of the topics that has been a long time coming... Libido! There is somewhat of an epidemic (my words) of low libido in women and this should be more concerning than it is. Low libido is not "normal" and it actually is comes out of running low in other areas of your life.The environment around us, birth control (impacting thyroid function + gut issues), and emotional factors are all culprits that can cause low libido and I break it all down in this episode.

Welcome to the Happily Hormonal Podcast. In this episode, my good friend Rebecca Dollard, aka The Motherhood Mentor, is my guest and we’re talking about emotions and loving your life in the midst of the messy. As mamas with multiple kiddos and businesses…there can be a lot of stress but we both know that the way we experience our stress & lives can change as we become aware of emotions and their triggers. One of the biggest triggers for hormone imbalances is STRESS - and emotional stress can’t be overlooked when you desire balanced hormones. So, today, we're going to dive deep into our emotions, why and how we feel them in our bodies, how this awareness has created more space for joy, and how that impacts our day-to-day lives as women, wives, moms, and business owners.
