Welcome back to the CYCLICAL Podcast! I don’t know if you’re like me, but skin care stuff often overwhelms me. Should I try retinol? Or a vitamin c serum? What if my skin is dry? Or oily? These are questions I’ve always wanted to ask an expert and finally today is the day I get to learn from expert holistic esthetician Kayla Renner! Kayla is such a wealth of information and I love that her approach is both external as an esthetician AND investigative of internal causes for skin problems.  In this episode we talk about: How the skin works and why our skin may have different needs Oily vs dry skin and how the approach differs Her true root cause method to help women have glowy skin Holistic anti aging for skin Products and ingredients to steer clear of Her recommended morning and evening routine The products she loves and the ones we can leave behind And so much more 

Welcome back to the CYCLICAL Podcast! The question of exercise science and cyclical health is one I answer all the time. It’s true that most research with exercise is done LARGELY on male biology and so no wonder we’re all confused and not thriving with our exercise routines. I’m excited to chat with Omega Zumpano today because her experience is exceptionally fascinating! From competing in professional bodybuilding and dealing with hormone problems to transforming her whole philosophy on exercise, her wisdom is fascinating!  This episode is a great intro to the idea of cyclical exercise and why common exercise routines do not work for women In this episode we talk about: Omega’s story going from bodybuilder to cyclical exercise expert  Hypothalamic amenorrhea and how this plays in How do intense workout routines affect our hormones as women The four phases and how to exercise within each phase Cardio vs. strength training for women How to increase muscle mass as women Creating a cyclical exercise routine An

Welcome back to the CYCLICAL Podcast! It’s finally time for my episode on endometriosis!!! I’ve been hearing requests for a long time to talk about endo and I’m excited to finally publish this episode.

Welcome back to the CYCLICAL Podcast! I’ve worked with a few women over the years who have had breast implants and dealt with MANY odd and spiraling symptoms. While Breast Implant Illness (BII) is not a medically recognized condition, a quick google search or hashtag search of #BII will quickly illuminate THOUSANDS of women who have had their health decline as a result of breast implants. And that is why this conversation is important  - so you feel informed and can make the right decisions for your health I’ve been eager to have this conversation and that’s why I am ecstatic to chat with Dr. Stacy Barczak Baker - a naturopath AND someone who has personally lived through BII. I also HIGHLY recommend looking at the hashtag #bii on Instagram. You’ll quickly see thousands of women’s stories with breast implant illness In this episode we talk about: What breast implant illness is Why doctors won’t recognize BII as a real diagnosis Stacy’s story getting implants and when she saw her health decline Common s

Welcome back to the CYCLICAL Podcast! A common reason women have worked with me over the years has been to restore their libido. The subject of restoring the libido though is a BIG conversation with lots of layers and considerations. Hint: you’re not deficient in some random supplement - we have to look at WHY your body has decreased in sexual desire! In this episode I go through the physical and emotional layers to libido, what can cause us to feel like our libido has decreased and then also practical tools and tips to restore our libido back to our baseline! In this episode I talk about: What the libido really is What is normal for a libido Causes of a low libido and important considerations My process of looking at “low libido” and what it needs to restore itself How trauma and stress affect our sexual desire How our relationships can influence our sexual desire When in the month our libido is usually higher What to look for with pain with sex And so much more

Welcome back to the CYCLICAL Podcast! In this episode I’m welcomed by holistic acne expert Caralyn Hale. I know acne is one of the BIGGEST struggles so many women have and that’s why I’m so excited for this episode.  Hormonal acne is common in our adolescence but also years later - especially when coming off of hormonal birth control. Hormonal acne can also be harder to heal because until we address the hormone component, many different approaches may not work.  You’ll love this episode if you’ve been seeking out solutions (and are tired of being to just go back on birth control to “fix” your acne…) In this episode we talk about: What hormonal acne is What hormone imbalances can create acne Nutritional deficiencies and acne Do we take a topical approach? Or an internal approach? How to support the body after birth control to prevent acne Genuine detox for healthy skin (not the detox you think) Addressing excess androgens What the gut and liver have to do with skin Foods for clear skin And so m

Welcome back to the CYCLICAL Podcast! Ahhh the lovely luteal phase. The luteal phase is a common time of the month when SO many of us struggle with symptoms ranging from breast tenderness, PMS, exhaustion, sensitivity, anxiety, food cravings and more! Especially if we’re dealing with a deeper issue like a hormone imbalance, we can really feel like up to half of the month is challenging and full of symptoms. In this episode I’m breaking down what the luteal phase is AND how to support your body and resolve your symptoms. Because…. The luteal phase shouldn’t feel hellish!   In this episode I talk about: What the luteal phase is, how long it is and what can cause all of the unpleasant luteal phase symptoms How hormones impact the luteal phase and can be connected to symptoms Luteal phase symptoms like painful breasts, PMS, fatigue, mood changes and more My favorite suggestions for the luteal phase The impacts of blood sugar on the luteal phase Exercise and the luteal phase The importance of honoring the

Welcome back to the CYCLICAL Podcast! I am SO EXCITED about this week’s episode because for a long time I’ve wanted to talk to an expert about endocrine disruptors, toxicity in our environment and what to really do. So why not bring on a PhD of toxicology?! So excited to talk to Dr. Yvonne Burkart!   We’ve all heard about endocrine disruptors and yucky things that screw up our hormones - but what does it all really mean?! What are the big things that we know truly cause hormone problems? What should we really avoid?    Dr. Yvonne sheds so much light on this topic and I’m so grateful for her wisdom!   In this episode we talk about: What an endocrine disrupter is Where we’re exposed to them and how to avoid them Clean makeup 101 How endocrine disruptors cause problems for women Key ingredients to avoid Simple upgrades to live a healthier lifestyle And so much more 

Welcome back to the CYCLICAL Podcast! Wooh, my first episode of 2022 and I’m coming out the gate with a potent podcast on all the less than awesome nutrition advice we’re often bombarded with. The problem with these habits is they are often not conducive to balanced hormones! So if we’re living these habits and also dealing with hormone and period problems it may be time to look closer at these nutrition beliefs. Please note I am talking about calories and weight in this episode In this episode I talk about: How some of our nutrition beliefs don’t always align with our biology Why nutrition sciences don’t always apply to women The big nutrition habits that may be causing far more harm than good for your body and hormones Why low calorie diets are so concerning Why it’s empowering to shift our perspective on what health looks like Are carbs bad? Is gluten bad? Or dairy? And so much more  Join me in Sedona this April by claiming one of the last spots at www.goddessceremony.com/sedona-2022 This retr
