I had a question about what I did differently the cycle that I actually got pregnant versus the time that I was trying and did not get pregnant. I want to touch on this because I don’t personally have a whole lot that I did the cycle that I got pregnant. I was doing a… Read More
How to eat (mostly) healthy during your first trimester of pregnancy
If you have ever been pregnant (or you currently are), you know that in the first trimester you can be downright adverse to a lot of foods that you would normally happily eat. Not only that, but even foods that are tolerable aren’t actually great. I definitely had that experience, and I’d like to share… Read More
5 simple ways to reduce plastic for hormonal (and environmental) health
Plastic sucks. A lot of it is harmful to your hormones because it mimics hormones in your body and bonds with your hormone receptors. Some of these hormone mimic/receptor combinations can then be used like they are your normal hormone, thereby making your body have an over-abundance of that particular hormone. They can also bind… Read More
How to make natural hormone friendly lip gloss/stain
While I hate the fact that (socially) make-up is almost necessary in order to look dressed up, put together, and like you aren’t the keeper of the crypt, I also like to play around with it sometimes. Maybe because it makes me look like I am more dressed up, put together, and not like the… Read More
Book review: Natural solutions to PCOS
I get questions from people frequently who have polycystic ovarian syndrome or who think they may based on what’s going on with their charts and symptoms. That’s not surprising, considering polycystic ovarian syndrome (PCOS) is a condition thought to affect about 10% of US women. BUT, even though PCOS is prevalent, it’s actually often very… Read More

They would get on it to get rid of a problem they had like heavy bleeding, cramps, irregular periods and more. This… Read More
My experience trying to conceive with fertility awareness (part I)
I am writing part I of this before I feel ready to write part II because… drumroll… I’m not pregnant yet! I was and am actually hesitant to write this before I am pregnant for a million and one reasons. One reason is because I have told very very few people that I am trying… Read More
Does it make sense to do something good for your fertility if you don’t want to get pregnant?
There is a specific type of question that I get a lot. I’ll give you one example, but just know that there are many ways to ask this same question (though, I have heard this specific example much more than once). My doctor recommended that I take prenatal vitamins since I am not on hormonal birth… Read More
Why you shouldn’t use the rhythm method (and what you should use instead)
You have probably heard of the rhythm method. What you might be shaky on is what exactly it is and how effective it is. Perhaps you have a few friends that have told you they count days on a calendar to figure out when they are ovulating (and likely they also use withdrawal) and they… Read More
How to do self care like a boss
Many women have a tendency to put other people before themselves. I know I am one of those people, and you can go ahead and raise your hand (uhh… or just keep reading) if you are one of those people, too. But in all this taking care of others effort, sometimes we forget to take care… Read More
