GLP-1 medications are everywhere right now—but the real conversation isn’t just whether they work. It’s how to use them wisely, especially for women navigating perimenopause, hormone shifts, and burnout.
In part two of my conversation with clinical pharmacist Dr. Katashia, we slow things down and get honest about the side effects women are actually experiencing on GLP-1s—and, more importantly, what you can do before and during treatment to protect your health, hormones, and muscle mass.
This episode isn’t about quick fixes or chasing smaller numbers on the scale. It’s about using GLP-1s as a supportive tool. If you’ve been curious about GLP-1s but worried about constipation, fatigue, muscle loss, or “doing it wrong,” this is the conversation you’ve been waiting for.
In this episode we explore:
The most common GLP-1 side effects women experience—and which ones are actually preventable
Why muscle loss, constipation, and nutrient deficiencies matter more in midlife
The non-negotiables for optimizing GLP-1 outcomes: protein, hydration, fiber, and strength training
The labs, baseline testing, and prep work women should consider before starting a GLP-1

What really happens when you're constipated—and why it's wreaking havoc on your hormones

What happens when your body forces you to stop ignoring the signs? Mary Tibbetts joins me for a raw, honest conversation about her journey with Multiple Sclerosis—from dismissing extreme fatigue and seizures to finally getting diagnosed and completely transforming how she lives.
This isn't your typical health story. Mary brings humor, heart, and zero apologies as we talk about the reality of autoimmune disease, the crushing weight of stress and trauma on women's bodies, and why being diagnosed with MS became the permission slip she needed to finally set boundaries. We're diving into vitamin D deficiency, the gut-health connection, why Alberta has some of the highest MS rates in the world, and how Mary's family (all boys, including the cat) learned to support her through the hardest days.
If you've ever pushed through exhaustion, ignored your body's whispers, or felt guilty for taking care of yourself... this one's for you.
In this episode we explore:
How autoimmune disorders like MS are deeply connected to stress, trauma, and nervous system dysregulation
Why women are 75% of MS diagnoses and how caregiving roles, worry, and the mental load play into chronic illness
The vitamin D deficiency connection and why Canada (especially Alberta) has some of the highest MS rates globally
The power of anti-inflammatory eating, gut health, and lifestyle shifts in managing symptoms
Why advocacy matters: pushing for answers when doctors say you're "fine" but your body says otherwise
About Mary Tibbetts
Mary Tibbetts is a motivational speaker and Multiple Sclerosis advocate who inspires others to find strength, humor, and purpose in life's hardest moments. After being diagnosed with MS, she turned her journey into a platform for hope and empowerment through her brand, Fearless with Mary.

Whether on stage, her podcast, or in the MS community, she brings honesty, laughter, and heart to every conversation—encouraging others to live fearlessly, even when life takes an unexpected turn.

This conversation dives into the nitty-gritty of sexual wellness, hormone health, and the intimate connections that so many of us struggle to talk about—even with our partners. Dr. Diane Mueller joins me to unpack how our menstrual cycles influence libido, why stress and cortisol wreak havoc on desire, and the profound difference between arousal and desire (spoiler: most women experience arousal before desire, not the other way around).
We're breaking down the myths Hollywood and pop culture have sold us about sex, exploring how communication can transform intimacy, and getting real about the physical and hormonal changes that happen during perimenopause and menopause. This isn't just about sex—it's about reclaiming pleasure, reducing shame, and understanding that your body isn't broken, it's just talking to you in a different language.
In this episode we explore:
How libido naturally shifts throughout the menstrual cycle and what that means for desire
The critical difference between arousal and desire—and why women typically need arousal first
Why stress and cortisol are massive disruptors to sexual wellness and hormone balance
The unrealistic expectations created by movies and porn—and why penetrative sex alone doesn't work for most women
How to have conversations with your partner about changing needs without shame or blame
The impact of perimenopause and menopause on vaginal health, circulation, and pelvic floor tension

The personal story of how I rescheduled Thanksgiving to honor my cycle (and why my family was actually relieved)
Why the holiday season is disproportionately stressful for women
What's happening hormonally when you're in your luteal or menstrual phase during the holidays
Why pushing through creates burnout and resentment

In today’s episode, I’m joined by the incredible Nicole Jardim, The Fix Your Period Coach, to talk about a conversation that’s sure to bring up a wide range of emotions for women—and we’re about to break the mold.
Nicole and I dive into why the medical system often fails women when it comes to hormone health and how so many women find themselves dismissed, gaslit, or left without answers after just a 15-minute appointment with their doctor. We discuss the glaring gaps in medical education, the importance of looking beyond the pill, and why we need to take our health into our own hands—and trust our bodies.
In this episode, we cover:
Nicole's personal health journey and how it led her to the world of hormone health coaching.
The issues with traditional medical care, including the over-reliance on birth control as a quick fix and the lack of support for women’s health.
Why female hormones are still under-researched, and how systemic gaps in medical education and policy are setting us back.
The taboo around talking openly about menstruation, perimenopause, and menopause—and why it’s time to change that.
How to become a self-advocate when the medical system doesn’t provide the answers you're looking for, and the importance of tracking your cycle and symptoms.
Breaking down the stigma and fear surrounding hormone health, and why it’s crucial to ask questions, seek second opinions, and trust your intuition.
Nicole also shares her expertise in becoming a hormone health coach, a role that helps empower women to take control of their health outside the traditional medical system. It’s a mindset shift away from just managing symptoms to getting to the root cause of hormone imbalances.

What if menstrual education wasn’t clinical, confusing, or shame-filled… but instead sacred, empowering, and rooted in deep ancestral wisdom?
In this powerful conversation, I’m joined by Apollonia Gallegos, founder of Mi Hita, a movement and platform dedicated to reclaiming the wisdom of the XX chromosomes and celebrating the female journey.

We talk about:
Why ancestral knowledge is the missing piece in modern women's health
How menstrual cycles can (and should) influence our work, rest, and relationships
Cultural healing, new models of care, and how to bring boys and men into this conversation
How we can create new traditions that celebrate and support girls from their first bleed

She created Mi Hita to close this gap, focusing on honoring the female cycle and embracing the strength of the XX chromosomes. Mi Hita has been designed to reshape mindsets, educate, guide, share knowledge, connect to resources, and ultimately create new traditions that honor & embrace the female journey.

We’re shifting the conversation from fear-based early detection to empowered prevention—and you won’t want to miss it!
In this episode, we explore the lymphatic system’s role in breast health, the everyday things you can do to support your breasts (hint: jostling is your new best friend), and why ditching your bra might be one of the best things you can do for your body.
What You’ll Learn in This Episode:

✨ How stagnant lymph can contribute to breast issues—and how to keep it moving

✨ The power of self-breast massage for connection, circulation, and even healing past trauma

Ever feel like your brain's running a million tabs at once — and half of them are glitching? If you're a woman navigating ADHD and hormonal chaos, this episode is your new BFF.
I’m joined by the brilliant Adele Wimsett, founder of Harmonize You, to break down the intersection of ADHD and hormones. Spoiler alert: it's not all in your head — it’s in your cycle too! We’re diving into why so many women are only just getting their ADHD diagnoses in adulthood, how fluctuating hormones (hello, estrogen and progesterone) crank up those ADHD symptoms, and what you can do to work with your cycle, not against it.
From perimenopause to PMDD, we’re pulling back the curtain on why so many women are misdiagnosed, dismissed, or handed a pack of birth control pills without a second thought. Adele brings her brilliance to helping us better understand ADHD symptoms in women and how your hormones may be playing a role.
In This Episode, We Explore:
The surprising link between ADHD and hormonal cycles
Why girls are often missed or misdiagnosed when it comes to ADHD
The role estrogen and progesterone play in our ADHD symptoms
Why perimenopause can make ADHD feel so much harder
The truth about birth control pills and why they’re often a band-aid solution
Insulin connection to ADHD

If perimenopause feels like someone took your life, tossed it in a snow globe, and won’t stop shaking it—you're not alone. But let me tell you this: perimenopause is not a breakdown—it’s an upgrade.
Yes, it’s chaotic, messy, and might involve a few rage-cries in your car. But beneath the surface, it’s a season of transformation—a full-blown life remodel where your body, mind, and soul are recalibrating to align with who you truly are.
In this episode of Aligned Womb, Aligned You, we’re unpacking:
🌿 Why perimenopause feels so chaotic—hint: your soul is calling BS on anything that no longer serves you
🌿 The hidden wisdom of your menstrual cycle and how the four phases of your cycle mirror the seasons of your life
🌿 The three stages of perimenopause—Separation, Surrender, and Emergence—based on Kate Codrington’s powerful framework
🌿 The magic of Second Spring—where post-menopause becomes a time of creativity, freedom, and a whole lot of “I don’t give a damn” energy
🌿 How to embrace perimenopause as an opportunity—not a crisis
The truth is, perimenopause isn’t happening to you—it’s happening for you. It’s your body’s way of inviting you to let go of what’s no longer aligned and step into a new version of yourself—wiser, braver, and more unapologetic than ever.
So grab a cup of tea, and let’s reframe this chaotic season as a powerful time of rebirth.

Let’s talk about something that’s been weighing heavy on my heart—the mental load women carry every single day.
A couple of weeks ago, I was at the Relaxed Money conference in Miami with two of my dearest friends—you know, the ones who truly see you, support you, and hold space for all your truths. And as we poured our hearts out over those three days, one theme kept surfacing: we are exhausted AF.
Not just physically tired, but mentally and emotionally worn out from doing all the things—running businesses, raising kids, managing households, and keeping a never-ending mental checklist of every little detail.
In this episode of Aligned Womb, Aligned You, we’re diving into:
🔥 What the mental load actually is—and why it feels so heavy for women
🔥 How chronic stress impacts your hormones—especially cortisol and its downstream effect on estrogen and progesterone
🔥 Why addressing burnout is non-negotiable for balancing PMS, painful periods, and irregular cycles
🔥 4 simple, cycle-focused strategies to reduce stress and lighten your mental load:
Understanding your 4 cycle phases
Teaching your kids about your cycle (yes, really!)
Having open, ongoing convos with your partner about your hormones
Syncing your work schedule with your energy levels
Spoiler alert: You can’t balance your hormones without tackling stress first—and today, I’m showing you how to start.
If you’ve been feeling overwhelmed, emotionally stretched thin, or like your hormones are running the show, this episode is a must-listen. Let’s reclaim your balance, one cycle phase at a time.

If you’ve ever struggled with PMS, heavy periods, mood swings, or stubborn weight gain, you’re going to want to tune in—because estrogen dominance could be the culprit.
Estrogen is an essential hormone that keeps your body running smoothly, but when it’s out of balance, things can get messy—fast. And here’s the kicker: estrogen dominance isn’t just about having “too much estrogen.” It’s about having too much in relation to progesterone or not clearing excess estrogen effectively.
In this episode of Aligned Womb, Aligned You, I’m breaking down:
🔥 What estrogen dominance actually is (it’s more than just high estrogen!)
🔥 Why so many women—especially in perimenopause—are dealing with this imbalance
🔥 The hidden connection between estrogen dominance, thyroid issues, weight gain, and mood swings
🔥 How stress, poor detoxification, and xenoestrogens (hello, plastics and skincare products!) make things worse
🔥 Simple, effective ways to balance estrogen naturally—from liver support to blood sugar management
If you’re ready to take control of your hormones and stop feeling like a victim of your cycle, this episode is for you!
