For this episode, I was a guest on my good friend Brigitta’s Borinstein’s podcast Motherhood Equipped, where we discussed:

Why hormones are messengers, not the root problem—and what actually needs support first
The biggest mistakes women make when trying to “balance hormones” postpartum
How blood sugar instability drives anxiety, rage, fatigue, and sleep issues
Why pregnancy and breastfeeding are deeply mineral-depleting—and which minerals matter most
The truth about electrolytes vs. true mineral repletion
How cortisol, progesterone, estrogen, and insulin are all interconnected
Why liver support plays a massive role in mood, skin, and cycle recovery after birth
What the fourth trimester really asks of your body—and why rushing recovery backfires

We also end with a fun little rapid-fire questionnaire, answering common hormonal questions. This was such a fun interview, and full of so many nuggets and insights.
