Are you too tired to even do the things that you know will make you feel less tired? You're not alone.

64 | 10 minutes a day doesn't work
We're back! Happy 2024! 10 minutes a day to better abs, 10 minutes a day to lose 10 lbs, 10 minutes a day to balane your hormones...I'm sorry but that's just not cutting it for me. This may be an unpopular opinion but I cannot jump in and out of something; I cannot go from winter to summer. The transitions are so important. A program that promises 10 minutes a day for results, but only focuses on the "taking action" part of the work is not going to feel good, and it's not going to last. If you're looking for lasting change that feels good, you need to - plan, prepare, organize, and build your foundation (SPRING) - take the action and see growth/change (SUMMER) - complete and celebrate how far you've come (AUTUMN) - and take some time to rest and reflect on your journey so far (WINTER) This is exactly how I walk women through The Cyclical Reset program, and this time around we're focusing on DETOX.

51 | What is a Cyclical Reset (and what makes it different)
In this episode I share not only what makes me unique as a cyclical nutritionist, but also what makes my programs unique. My whole goal is minimum effort, maximum impact. What I teach is kinda backwards from what most people teach - I help you start with YOU. At the foundation, I teach body-literacy & self love. Because when you know yourself, you love yourself, and when you love yourself, it’s effortless to take incredible care of yourself (and others). So, what is a Cyclical Reset? Well, it’s NOT a 6-week diet plan or a 30 day cleanse. It IS developing body-literacy and a relationship to yourself as a cyclical being part of the natural, cyclical world. And then building on that with education on simple, hormone-friendly nutrition science. Here are the 4 steps I walk you though, either in my group Cyclical Reset Program or my private Cyclical Reset coaching: Understand how to track your cycle holistically - this leads to body-literacy & self-love and will give us the data we need to “reset” your hormone balance throughout your cycle. Understand key nutritional concepts to support your hormones and your overall health - nourishment instead of restriction, blood sugar balance, gut health & detox Understand key lifestyle components to support your hormones & overall health - mental & physical stress, reducing & avoiding toxins It’s all tied together with cyclical living, this supports you throughout your journey. You never feel like you’ve “fallen off the bandwagon” or like your diet & lifestyle isn’t sustainable. You understand and acknowledge the seasons and cycles within you and around you, so nothing throws you off and your ever-changing life feels easy and fun (and when it doesn’t feel easy and fun, you know how to ride the wave and support yourself throughout!)

After a bit of a life update (ie. homeschooling no more and losing one of our dogs), this episode is PACKED full of helpful tidbits about progesterone. Progesterone is the hormone that shows up in our luteal phase, and when we aren't making enough it can look like luteal-phase spotting, crazy mood swings, and miscarriages.

Listen in to hear 3 main causes for low progesterone and exactly what I'm doing to really dial in and support my body, especially during my luteal phase. My next steps may not be the same as the steps your body needs to find hormonal balance. Reach out on IG (@mlbfamilywellness) to tell me a bit about what's going on with your hormones and I'll give you some recommendations for your next step.

45 | How to sync your cycle with the moon
Some people will say syncing with the moon is BS and that it's just a coincidence when women sync up with the moon because the average menstrual cycle is about the same length as the moon cycle (29.5 days). I disagree. In the modern world, we are becoming more and more disconnected from nature and ourselves, but I think it’s no coincidence that our menstrual cycle and the moon cycle are the same length. There are also thousands of years of culture and myths and legends that tie the menstrual cycle with the moon cycle. Many ancient religions held fertility festivals at the time of the new moon - which is the energy that aligns with the fertile ovulation phase. In this episode I'll give you the three steps I took to sync my cycle with the moon, which you can try, too! We'll also explore a little bit about the Red Moon cycle and the White Moon cycle and what they mean.

44 | How to start tracking the moon
Not cycling? No problem! You can follow the moon. The moon is powerful enough to affect the oceans and the tides, so you bet it's going to affect you! But, when I start talking about syncing with the moon phases women are often confused about the different phases, how to track them, and what they mean. I know I had a bit of a learning curve, too!
