16 Understanding LUF, PCOS, and Ovarian Cysts: How to Take Control of Your Health

Hey friend!
I'm sharing a special conversation today that I believe so many of us need to hear. In this episode, I’m opening up about ovarian cysts—not just what they are, but how they affect our health, our cycles, and our peace of mind. If you’ve ever felt dismissed or confused by the conventional options given to you, know you’re not alone. I’m here to offer hope, education, and real options.
We’ll talk about why so many women are prescribed birth control for cysts and why that may not be the answer you're looking for. I also dive into something called NAPRO technology, which takes a natural, restorative approach to addressing cysts and other reproductive health issues. And, I’ll share the story of a young woman I met who was facing some of these very challenges and found life-changing support by simply being empowered to ask for more options.
So if you’re struggling with cysts, PCOS, or even just feeling like your body’s fighting against you, tune in. There are small, manageable steps you can take starting today to support your health—diet, cycle tracking, and more. I want you to feel informed, empowered, and hopeful, knowing there is a way to feel better. Join me for this compassionate, informative episode, and let’s start taking charge of our health together!
Your Friend!

13 PMS and Your Period: What It Means For Getting Pregnant

Hey  Friend!
In today’s episode, we dive deep into the often misunderstood world of Premenstrual Syndrome (PMS). This isn’t just a few rough days before your period; for many women, PMS can be a debilitating condition that significantly impacts their daily lives, relationships, and fertility. We’ll explore the root causes, particularly hormonal imbalances like progesterone deficiency, and why PMS deserves more attention and care.
 
We’ll discuss the importance of a holistic health approach, blending medical treatments with essential self-care practices such as nutrition, stress management, and tracking your symptoms. Understanding your cycle is key, and recognizing how your body responds can be the first step toward reclaiming control over your health and fertility. Remember, no woman should feel dismissed or invalidated about their symptoms. PMS can be a sign of deeper health issues that require attention.
 
The journey to better health is not just about managing symptoms; it’s about addressing the root cause and making empowered choices for your well-being.
 
As we wrap up, if you’re ready to take control of your health and fertility, I’m here to help. As a FertilityCare Practitioner, I can guide you in learning how to chart your cycle using the Creighton Model System.
