Answering Your Questions: Low Progesterone, Postpartum Recovery, Supplement Reactions, and the Skin–Energy–Mood Link

In this Q&A episode, I'm answering your questions about hormones, fertility, postpartum, skin, energy, mood, and supplements. We talk about what to do if your progesterone is low and you're trying to conceive (and why birth control isn't a true fix for hormone balance). I also explore how skin issues, low energy, and mood swings are more connected than you might think—and why treating them separately often misses the root cause. I share the deeper links between gut health, blood sugar, hormones, and nutrient status, and how I approach these symptoms holistically in my practice. If you're postpartum and hoping for another baby, I walk through what it really means to prepare your body for pregnancy again, including signs your body may still be depleted and key labs I recommend. I also share a peek into my current daily routine during this messy season of my life—and a personal reflection on what it looks like to care deeply about your health without falling into obsession or perfectionism.   Resources: • Get to the root with functional lab testing → • Let's connect on instagram →   Moments in this episode: 01:37 – What to do if your progesterone is low and you want to conceive 07:12 – The connection between skin, energy, and mood 10:10 – How to know if your body is ready for another pregnancy 14:10 – Is eating two Brazil nuts a day really helpful? 16:36 – What it means if supplements are making you feel worse 19:16 – My current daily routine (messy season edition 🤪) 25:24 – How I knew my body was ready for pregnancy 27:11 – How to care about your health without obsessing I'm so grateful to have you here, friend.
