Beschrijving

In this episode, Adrienne and I talk about the early foundations that matter most in pregnancy, especially during the first trimester, and why these same habits continue to support you through motherhood. We walk through the rapid hormonal shifts, increased nutrient demands, digestive changes, and emotional layers that show up early on, often before anyone even knows you’re pregnant. We share four practical focus areas that make a real difference: stabilizing blood sugar, regulating the nervous system, supporting nutrient reserves, and keeping detox pathways moving through gut and liver support. We also explain how these foundations affect not just how you feel now, but fetal development, labor, postpartum recovery, and your child’s long-term health. If the first trimester feels overwhelming, exhausting, or confusing, this conversation helps you understand what your body is asking for and how to support yourself in realistic, doable ways that carry far beyond pregnancy.

Episode 15: One Critical Hormone You Are Probably Missing

In this episode, Adrienne and I break down the importance of vitamin D, why deficiency is so common, and how it impacts everything from hormones and energy to bone health and immune function. We talk through why so many adults, especially women, are living with suboptimal vitamin D levels, the role sunlight and lifestyle play, and why vitamin D functions more like a hormone than a simple vitamin. We also discuss functional lab ranges, supplementation, and practical ways to improve vitamin D levels naturally and effectively. This conversation covers the connection between vitamin D and women’s health, how deficiency contributes to issues like fatigue and hormonal imbalance, and why optimizing your levels now can help prevent long-term health concerns later in life.
