In this episode of the Hormone Happy Hour podcast, we’re digging into something that often gets overlooked in the fertility and hormone conversation: energy. Not just "I need a nap" kind of energy—but the actual frequency your body operates on and how it affects everything from hormone production to blood flow to your ability to heal. And this isn’t your typical woo-woo conversation about energy.

✨ Inside this episode:

• What your energy (measured in Hertz!) says about your health
• How stress, emotions, and even your thoughts can either energize or deplete your body
• The example of mineral movement + organ function in creating balance
• Simple ways to shift your energy
• How energetic blocks may be showing up in your fertility journey—and what to do about it

I also share some exciting updates, including new hormone-supportive mocktail & cocktail recipes I’ll be sharing weekly (yes, they’re just as fun as they sound 🍹) and why you’ll want to be on the newsletter list for first dibs.

🌿 Whether you’re TTC or just trying to feel more vibrant and aligned in your body, this episode is full of tangible takeaways to help you reconnect with your healing power.

Welcome back to Hormone Happy Hour! In today’s episode, we’re closing out the functional lab testing series with a powerful (and often overlooked) topic: iron and copper regulation.

Let’s be real—most of us weren’t taught how these minerals work together, and understanding them can be a game changer for your energy, mood, and overall hormone health.

Here’s what we’re chatting about:

💡 Why iron issues are usually more about poor movement than too much 💡 How copper plays a critical role in oxygen delivery, energy, and inflammation 💡 What the Full Monty Iron Panel actually shows you (and why it's SO much more helpful than a basic iron test) 💡 How symptoms like fatigue, anxiety, or even fertility struggles can connect back to mineral imbalance 💡 The emotional and spiritual layers behind what’s happening in the body—and how tuning into those can support real healing 💡 Simple ways to shift your diet, routines, and awareness to support mineral balance

This episode is an invitation to start seeing your body with more clarity and curiosity. When we understand what’s going on under the surface, we can finally give our body the support it’s been asking for.

We’re back with another episode in our functional testing series, and today we’re diving into one of the most talked-about tests in the hormone world—the DUTCH test (aka Dried Urine Test for Comprehensive Hormones).

If you’re thinking about or getting recommended to do a DUTCH test you are going to want to listen to this first, because in this episode of The Hormone Happy Hour I’m breaking down:

💡 What the DUTCH test actually measures (hint: it’s way more than just hormone levels) 🔥 How it reveals important info about your adrenals, inflammation, stress patterns, and metabolism 📅 When the right time is to take it—and when it’s not helpful 🚫 The biggest mistakes I see with using DUTCH tests 💛 Why it’s such a powerful tool for fertility, energy, and overall hormone health

We also chat about what it looks like to take this kind of information and build a personalized strategy that supports your unique body—no guesswork, no one-size-fits-all advice.

If you're curious about functional hormone testing or you’ve been wondering if the DUTCH test is worth it, this episode will give you all the clarity you need.
