The Simplicity Sessions

In this episode, I am dropping in with a couple of reminders, maybe not even reminders, maybe these are things you're hearing for the first time about how to really be supporting your nervous system in your forties. I'm saying in your forties, but I think that these are things that you should be doing in your twenties, your thirties, your forties, your fifties, your sixties, your seventies. I really do believe that these are actually tips for better, healthier nervous system support for all of us that are living at this time, in this moment in history. Because it's a lot, everything that we're dealing with on our handheld devices is non stop information and notifications and, binging and dinging and pming and dming and all of the things that are coming at us from our phones or iPads, laptops, we are just constantly bombarded. For so many, we can feel like we wake up and, we're eating a healthy breakfast and we're having a healthy lunch and we're eating good food throughout the day. On the surface, you feel like you are doing everything right, but there's this energy in your body or this fatigue, this kind of exhaustion, your body feeling depleted or feeling deficient and you can't quite put your finger on it. And a lot of the time, especially for women's health and hormones. Let’s dive in! Thank you for joining us today. If you could rate, review & subscribe, it would mean the world to me!

In this episode, I get asked a lot about the things that I do in my life, and I was recently speaking at a women's event and one of the questions that they asked those of us on the panel were things that we stopped doing in our forties. I was like, oh, I had to think about it. I could tell you things that I started to do in my forties, but the things that I stopped doing in my forties. The first thing that came to my mind was I stopped drinking alcohol and I got my butt to bed. But there is more! Let’s dive in! Thank you for joining us today.

In this episode, we are chatting about my simplicity in six tips for weight loss and for creating a really fit, strong body in your forties. Now, at the time of this recording, I'm just a couple of weeks away from turning 45, so I'm officially into my mid-forties. I know everyone says this when they hit a certain stage of their life. Well, maybe not everyone, but it seems to be my experience in having conversations with a lot of women. I grew up hearing when you hit your forties, that meant you were old and after 40, your body kind of just felt like it fell apart and went downhill. My experience has been the opposite, at least in the first half of my forties, and I feel more connected to my body than I ever have in my forties. Let’s dive in! Thank you for joining us today.

In this episode, I am stoked to have Bria Gadd here today, who is known as the period whisperer. She spends her days, time and energy both in her practice and her podcast, helping women reclaim the knowledge that their body has and move to a place of empowerment and knowledge so that they can feel vital and thrive in their bodies, premenopause, menopause and beyond, instead of living the life that many of us have been taught, which is just to survive and get through it.

In this episode, We are talking all about your gallbladder health and perimenopause. This is a really under discussed, overlooked area of our health at any point in our life, but most definitely when we're starting to experience an increase in hormonal symptoms, inflammation, digestive issues, you know, bowel issues, skin issues, energy, weight loss, all of the above. It's something that I see really often in my clients.  In the last couple of years, what I recognized is that there was a direct correlation with, liver stagnation and signs of liver toxicity, or maybe not even toxicity, but just sluggish liver activity, meaning that the liver was not able to do the job that it was meant to do as well. Therefore, we were starting to have some upstream and downstream impact in terms of side effects or symptoms, rather, and the role that the gallbladder was playing in that. It's very difficult to work on one without working on the other and making sure that they are equally supported, because the liver and the gallbladder, they are working within one another and depend on the health of each other.   Let’s dive in!

In this episode, I am joined by Kristen Nagle, who is a former registered nurse. She was a registered nurse for 14 years and primarily worked in the NICU. It is said that our children forever change us and Kristen experienced this more than she ever knew possible. After the birth of her first son, she became really passionate about the food for her children and how she was nourishing and taking care of them. She ended up enrolling in the Canadian School of Natural Nutrition, where I actually graduated from in 2001. She became a Holistic Nutritionist on top of being a nurse working in the conventional medical care system. Her second son had some issues after being born and being exposed to some of his early childhood immunizations, which really opened her eyes up, especially working in that industry. It really just, peeled off this kind of top layer of us being able to, as parents, as mothers, ask questions when our child's body is exhibiting something that would feel outside of the norm of our baby. Then in having her third baby, her little girl, this really felt like her redemption birth, which would forever change the perception of how incredibly strong women are and the beautiful gift that we have been given in motherhood.  So now her passion has transformed from being inside the walls of the hospital and being out into the world and helping women find their power to truly reclaim their birth.   Let’s dive in!

In this episode, we are talking all about IBS irritable bowel syndrome and specifically how it can impact your experience moving through perimenopause into menopause itself and then post-menopause. As I've talked about in previous episodes, and share so much in the content that we email you weekly and that we put out onto Instagram. If you're in my programs, you probably know this at such a degree of understanding, which makes me so happy. But we, again, are not simply moving through hormonal changes in perimenopause. We are going through systemic changes throughout our entire body, and our gut is a huge place of those shifts happening.   So you may have been able to manage or micromanage small symptoms here and there that would kind of show up previously. In perimenopause, this is that period of time where you will most likely have some new symptoms that arise, or you'll have a flare up and intensity will start to increase and frequency around those symptoms.   Let’s dive in!   Thank you for joining us today.

In this episode, we are navigating gut issues and perimenopause, bloating, gas, constipation and reflux. This is an area that I think gets overlooked a ton in perimenopause because we've made the main thing about period symptoms, hot flashes, night sweats, vaginal dryness, weight gain, all of those things that definitely matter and will happen throughout that journey. But there are so many other symptoms and signs that the body is giving us that things need a different level of support as we age that are usually being overlooked and being dismissed.
