About Hormone Health for Moms - Gestational diabetes, Insulin resistance, Boost Energy, Weight loss, Blood sugar

*TOP 2.5% GLOBALLY RANKED PODCAST*Feeling exhausted no matter how much you sleep? Dealing with stubborn weight that won’t budge, unpredictable digestion, or energy crashes that hit hard, especially after having kids?Do you feel like your body is working against you, and no matter how “healthy” you try to be, you’re still bloated, burnt out, and wondering what happened to the old you?I’m Sara Moreira, nurse, functional diagnostic nutrition practitioner, and mom of 4. After walking through my own journey of postpartum depletion, flatlined cortisol, and gut imbalances, I know what it’s like to feel dismissed, misdiagnosed, and told “everything looks normal” when you feel anything but.For years I was stuck in the cycle of clean eating, supplement guessing, and chasing symptom after symptom until I discovered how powerful it is to work with the body, not against it.Now I blend functional lab testing with ancestral rhythms, mineral balancing, and a faith-rooted, nervous system-supportive approach to help women restore their metabolism, digestion, and energy after having kids.Inside the Hormone Healing for Moms Podcast, we go beyond quick fixes and diets to uncover the root causes of chronic fatigue, hormonal imbalances, bloating, hair loss, and weight loss resistance.You’ll learn how to reset your circadian rhythm, balance your master hormones like insulin and cortisol, and nourish your body back to safety with simple, science-backed strategies rooted in both functional medicine and God-designed healing.Each episode will help you understand your body on a deeper level so you can get real results that last without burning out or giving up the things that matter most. Because true healing isn’t just physical, it’s spiritual too.Let’s redefine what it means to bounce back after kids and walk in the healing and wholeness you were always meant for.

Minerals & Metabolism Group Program! [https://functionalmom.com/minerals-and-metabolism] Free Bonuses for a start date this June https://functionalmom.com/minerals-and-metabolism   Do you ever feel like you wake up with a relatively flat stomach, only to look six months pregnant by the end of the day? You're not alone. Bloating is one of the most common complaints I hear from moms, and despite how common it is, it's not something you should simply accept as normal. In today's episode, we're breaking down the most common reasons behind bloating and, more importantly, what you can do to start addressing it. While bloating can sometimes be linked to deeper gut issues, many women are surprised to discover that the root causes are often much simpler than they think.     Start Here ⬇️ Why You Can't Lose Weight No Matter What You Do as A Busy Mom [https://functionalmom.myflodesk.com/weightloss] Contact - > sara@functionalmom.com Instagram ->@functional_mom Get my go to blue light blocking glasses for after sunset.

Maybe you skipped breakfast, had a light lunch, drank coffee to curb your appetite, and told yourself you'd save your calories for dinner. Then dinner comes, and suddenly you don't care what the heck you eat. You eat more than you planned, reach for dessert, and find yourself standing in the pantry an hour later wondering what happened to your willpower. BECAUSE IT"S NOT WILLPOWER OR MINDSET that will stop you In this episode, we're diving into the hidden consequences of saving calories for dinner and why this common dieting strategy often backfires. You'll learn how restriction during the day can increase cravings, impact blood sugar balance, elevate stress hormones, and create an unhealthy relationship with food. We'll also discuss the psychology behind food scarcity and why your brain becomes more preoccupied with food when it believes nourishment is limited.     Start Here ⬇️ Why You Can't Lose Weight No Matter What You Do as A Busy Mom [https://functionalmom.myflodesk.com/weightloss] Contact - > sara@functionalmom.com Instagram ->@functional_mom Get my go to blue light blocking glasses for after sunset.

En fantastisk app med et enormt stort udvalg af spændende podcasts. Podimo formår virkelig at lave godt indhold, der takler de lidt mere svære emner. At der så også er lydbøger oveni til en billig pris, gør at det er blevet min favorit app.

Rigtig god tjeneste med gode eksklusive podcasts og derudover et kæmpe udvalg af podcasts og lydbøger. Kan varmt anbefales, om ikke andet så udelukkende pga Dårligdommerne, Klovn podcast, Hakkedrengene og Han duo 😁 👍
Podimo er blevet uundværlig! Til lange bilture, hverdagen, rengøringen og i det hele taget, når man trænger til lidt adspredelse.
