“Learn from the mistakes of others. You can't live long enough to make them all yourself.” - Eleanor Roosevelt
What a smart woman! Mistakes are a part of life, but the fewer things you have to learn the hard way, the better, right?!
When it comes to sharing my own hormone journey, I’m an open book...Because I wish people shared this sort of information with me when I was just getting started...

Many people choose to remove dairy because they don't tolerate it, while others do so because they prefer not to have it or are vegan.
Whatever the reason, nut milks have grown very popular in the last decade or so...

When working with clients and members in my online program, The Healthy Hormone Method, I am often asked what are some quick and easy, yet delicious recipes for breakfast and snacks...

In Naturopathy we often say that hormone conditions are just a symptom of a gut health issue. This certainly makes sense in autoimmune hormone conditions, like Hashimoto's thyroiditis, given that all autoimmune conditions start with a leaky gut...

If you checked out my Nut Free Paleo Sandwich Bread recipe, you know that almonds are a no-go for me right now.
However, that is not the only reason I am playing around with nut free recipes. I know many schools don't allow nuts, so it is great to have some healthy baking alternatives for yourself and the kids...

After receiving my PCOS diagnosis and being told I was pre-diabetic, I embarked on a gluten free, low-carb journey. That meant that the traditional pasta I was used to eating two or three times a week had to do...and that was hard!
I first transitioned over to zoodles. If you don't know what those are, they are basically julienned zucchini.
Truth be told, I never really liked them. At the time, there weren't many alternatives, so I just cut the "pasta" from my diet for many years...
As most of you know, I am a HUGE animal lover! My two dogs, Dusty and Sienna, are my life! Anyone that knows me knows that everything I do revolves around them...and I wouldn't have it any other way!
What is interesting is that so many people I come across assume that I am vegan or vegetarian because I love animals so much...But that couldn't be further from the truth!

When it comes to healthy eating, breakfast seems to be the meal that most people struggle with. Thankfully, that has never been an issue for me because I love smoothies!
I have been having a smoothie for breakfast for the better part of decade! Well, longer if I am being really honest! As my knowledge of gut and hormone health has evolved, so too has my morning smoothie...

For as long as I can remember, I have not been a cake fan. It just wasn't my thing. I often chose to have pie instead. Lemon meringue or apple were my favourite. Also, my mom's apple crisp was something I could devour in no time! Seriously, it was so delicious! I would often sneak into the pan to steal another bite - or three - when nobody was looking lol...

When I was 24 I moved to London. What an incredible experience that was! I stayed for two years, but would have absolutely stayed longer if I could have extended my visa. One of my favourite things while living there (outside of the travel -- let's be real!) was learning about and trying new food. Sunday roast with Yorkshire pudding and gravy, toad in a hole...and Shephard's pie! I loved them all...
