Or that Adrenal Fatigue isn't truly what's going on when you're exhausted!

Birth Control Education: What you may not know about the pill

Today, I am joined by Efrat LaMandre, founder of The Knew Method, where she empowers patients to finally realize that their symptoms are not in their head. She helps people optimize their health, prevent illness, reduce medication and feel great by getting to the root cause of their illness. Dr. E also sits on the Board of Trustees for Staten Island University Hospital, Serves as the Past-President of the Nurse Practitioner Association. In addition, Efrat owns a Primary Care Practice called EG Healthcare, a Medical Scribe company, HawkScribes, and an education company, EG PREP. If you’re one of the lucky few who wakes up feeling great every day, this is not the episode for you. If your doctors keep telling you that “you’re fine” or some variation of “you’re just stressed,” “you’re just getting older,” “if you lose weight, you’ll feel better,” “it's just your hormones” or … maybe they are even implying that … “It’s all in your head!” then turn up the volume – Dr. E and I are dropping major truth bombs this episode.

Cyclical Living with Kristine Peacock

Stephanie Dalton

Women’s health struggles are consistently dismissed. And while we dedicate all of our energy to every role we play and to those outside of ourselves, or in service of our big, audacious goals - our health is often moved to the bottom of the list. We created the Women’s Hormone Health Summit as a way to serve women everywhere with the education they need about their bodies so they can intentionally take care of themselves and their families with greater simplicity and ease. Today’s episode with Stephanie Dalton is from our 2023 summit. Menopause is a natural, transformative time in our lives, but it's a major transition that can be challenging to integrate, both emotionally and physically. As menopause approaches, the ovaries dramatically reduce estrogen production which affects many parts of the body, including blood vessels, heart, bone, breasts, uterus, urinary system, skin, and brain.   In this episode, you will learn about a wide range of holistic and natural approaches—including lifestyle, nutrition, and foundational supplements—to help you navigate this transition.

Women’s health struggles are consistently dismissed. And while we dedicate all of our energy to every role we play and to those outside of ourselves, or in service of our big, audacious goals - our health is often moved to the bottom of the list. We created the Women’s Hormone Health Summit as a way to serve women everywhere with the education they need about their bodies so they can intentionally take care of themselves and their families with greater simplicity and ease. Today’s episode with Stephanie Dalton is from our 2023 summit. Menopause is a natural, transformative time in our lives, but it's a major transition that can be challenging to integrate, both emotionally and physically. As menopause approaches, the ovaries dramatically reduce estrogen production which affects many parts of the body, including blood vessels, heart, bone, breasts, uterus, urinary system, skin, and brain. In this episode, you will learn about a wide range of holistic and natural approaches—including lifestyle, nutrition, and foundational supplements—to help you navigate this transition.

Today’s episode with Megan Kroeker is from our 2023 summit.

Today I am sharing one of my Instagram posts about the topic of Hormonal Acne since it got such an amazing response from my audience. This episode is all about treating and healing skin when it sends us signs that something is wrong. Here is my personal story, I battled for over 8 years with acne, now I have clear skin, but believe me it wasn't always like this. I started dealing with very bad acne during my second pregnancy. It was a baby boy, and I started thinking that my boy’s testosterone might be affecting my skin, and also found that the males in my family had suffered from terrible acne. I tried everything! And nothing worked. Researching in my own life, I realized that taking birth control pills for many years and using a prescription cream for 9 years twice a day had kept the acne under control but when I stopped them, the acne came out. It was always there, but I did not notice it until years later.  I was talking with a friend who has treated anxiety with Chinese medicine and I realized that I haven't been paying attention to my liver! The heat in my liver was causing this waking. I started acupuncture, along with liver and kidney tonics, and I started to notice the difference in my skin! Detoxing too fast did not help, time was needed for me to heal. It took a full year to see the real change. Today, I know my skin is my GPS, it tells me when I am getting off road. Find the right questions you need to ask yourself below, as well as the steps to follow to heal your skin starting from within!   Ask Yourself ● What is going on in your liver? ● What is happening with your hormones? Get the right tests. ● Are you detoxing? Are you eliminating? ● What is your B12 like?

Real Talk About Hormonal Acne 

Jenn Pike

First of all, I encourage you to check the episode titled  Cycle and Fertility Masterclass. Today, I am sharing another masterclass which is the Perimenopause-Menopause Project. The reason I decided to share this information with you is that in the last few years of my practice, I was faced with the reality that most women know very little about their bodies. The problems arising during perimenopause and menopause usually show up and catch us unaware, since we were never truly taught what is actually going on in our cycling years, leading us to burn out after not treating or listening to our bodies properly.   I am sharing all my knowledge and experience so we can start to put some context around the emotions that you are feeling, this is not just in your head, this is a physical, physiological, biological and chemistry response happening in your body, and it is showing up in how you feel, look, move, sleep and be in your life.   Here are the main topics of this amazing masterclass:    ● Perimenopause, Menopause and Postmenopausal stages. ● Do not become attached to certain ages. ● Your epigenetics will determine the age span for different stages. ● Hormone fluctuation when transitioning to Menopause. ● Perimenopause and menopause is puberty in reverse ● Perimenopause isn’t just a physical event! ● Three types of Perimenopause: artificial, premature and natural. ● The gradual process of Perimenopause. ● Bioidentical hormones. ● What you eat feeds your cells. ● Changes in Perimenopausal years. ● Typical symptoms of Perimenopause. ● Symptoms of estrogen decline. ● Importance to check your gut. ● Menopause does not create health problems, our lifestyle does. ● Choosing your food wisely to help your hormone functions. ● Movement and exercising during Perimenopause. ● Focus on the food that will support your bone health. ● The right supplementation is not the same for everyone. ● What to do with carbohydrates. ● Taking care of the vaginal microbiome. ● Support your liver. ● Look at your lifestyle as a whole. Hoping this masterclass helps you to know more about what goes on in your body through the stages of Perimenopause and Menopause, as well as assisting you in building more resources to take better care of your health as a whole. Wishing more simplicity and ease in all that you do! You can connect to this episode on iTunes, Spotify or Stitcher by searching The Simplicity Sessions, or by visiting jennpike.com/episode37.

First of all, I encourage you to check the episode titled <a href="http://thesimplicitysessions.libsyn.com/cycle-and-fertility-masterclass-part-1-with-jenn-pike" rel="nofollow" target="_blank"> Cycle and Fertility Masterclass</a>. Today, I am sharing another masterclass which is the Perimenopause-Menopause Project. The reason I decided to share this information with you is that in the last few years of my practice, I was faced with the reality that most women know very little about their bodies. The problems arising during perimenopause and menopause usually show up and catch us unaware, since we were never truly taught what is actually going on in our cycling years, leading us to burn out after not treating or listening to our bodies properly. I am sharing all my knowledge and experience so we can start to put some context around the emotions that you are feeling, this is not just in your head, this is a physical, physiological, biological and chemistry response happening in your body, and it is showing up in how you feel, look, move, sleep and be in your life. Here are the main topics of this amazing masterclass: <ul> <li>● Perimenopause, Menopause and Postmenopausal stages.</li> <li>● Do not become attached to certain ages.</li> <li>● Your epigenetics will determine the age span for different stages.</li> <li>● Hormone fluctuation when transitioning to Menopause.</li> <li>● Perimenopause and menopause is puberty in reverse</li> <li>● Perimenopause isn’t just a physical event!</li> <li>● Three types of Perimenopause: artificial, premature and natural.</li> <li>● The gradual process of Perimenopause.</li> <li>● Bioidentical hormones.</li> <li>● What you eat feeds your cells.</li> <li>● Changes in Perimenopausal years.</li> <li>● Typical symptoms of Perimenopause.</li> <li>● Symptoms of estrogen decline.</li> <li>● Importance to check your gut.</li> <li>● Menopause does not create health problems, our lifestyle does.</li> <li>● Choosing your food wisely to help your hormone functions.</li> <li>● Movement and exercising during Perimenopause.</li> <li>● Focus on the food that will support your bone health.</li> <li>● The right supplementation is not the same for everyone.</li> <li>● What to do with carbohydrates.</li> <li>● Taking care of the vaginal microbiome.</li> <li>● Support your liver.</li> <li>● Look at your lifestyle as a whole.</li> <li>Hoping this masterclass helps you to know more about what goes on in your body through the stages of Perimenopause and Menopause, as well as assisting you in building more resources to take better care of your health as a whole.

Perimenopause and Menopause Masterclass With Jenn Pike

The root of who you are is in your digestive system, your gut, your microbiome. If you want to understand your health you need to start with your gut, by asking the right questions, and listening to the messages your body is giving you. The entire digestive system works like an orchestra, to break down the food that we consume and to absorb the nutrients in it and remove the waste out of the system. If any part of the digestive system is not working right , another part will have to take care of this function. What are the signs that your gut is giving when it’s not working properly? Gas, burping, bloating, indigestion, pain, discomfort on the left and right, lower intestinal pain, reflux, acidity, exhaustion, headache, anxiety, hyperactivity, constipation, diarrhea… this is not ok! How did this happen? The over sanitizing of our lives, processed food, chemicals and preservatives, GMOs, medications, stress, too much alcohol, coffee, food sensitivities…your digestive system can even be irritated by your personal care products!  Fast tip: These are the foundational supplements that all humans need: Vitamin D, Omega 3 fatty acids, Magnesium, Whole Food Complex, and Probiotics. What about leaky gut? In this episode I explain to you in detail how it starts, which are the biggest signs of a leaky gut and how it progresses until your immune system gets exhausted. A leaky gut can also be the origin of autoimmune illnesses. Learn to identify how your bowel movements are talking about your gut health. Check for these four areas for your own personal symptomatology: How is your: Mood, Poop, Sleep and Skin (Just as you would with a baby!). So, what do you do now??!! First: remove what is irritating your system, second choose your food wisely, third: Repair the damage, take supplements, spices and add nutrients, and fourth: Rebuild. It is not going to be easy, we have to be strong and start small, one step at the time.  You can start today! Get in touch with your body and start healing!   Start today    ● Increase your water intake. ● Add a green smoothie along with fat and collagen. ● Switch your coffee for herbal tea in the mornings. ● Add good quality probiotic or kefir. ● Eat healthy fats. ● Move your body! Learn more about Jenn’s work: Jenn Pike The Hormone Project  The Simplicity Project Shop for books, DVDs, programs and much more! Environmental Working Group Quotes: “90% of you is made out of organisms and bacteria and 10% of human DNA.” “Regardless who you are, these are the foundational supplements that all humans need: Vitamin D, Omega 3, Magnesium, Whole Food Complex, and Probiotics.” “You can have a bowel movement everyday and still be constipated.” Additional Information About Jenn: Jenn studied and graduated with honors in Human Anatomy and Physiology with such a passion that it propelled her to continue her education over many years.

Supporting Your Inner Athlete With Sylvie Tetrault 

David Brooke

This episode is all about skin care, why you would choose to use an alternative skin care, something that is more holistic, organic and natural based as opposed to commercial based. This matters not only for the skin you are inhabiting but for your entire body and how this impacts your hormones, thyroid and  gut among other organs.    My guest today is David Brooke who is the founder of Skin Essence, and we will dive deep into why using oils over lotions and creams can be so much more beneficial for your skin than commercial products, As well as the different things that you can use to treat the most common skin conditions and for preventive and beauty purposes, while we share our own personal stories dealing with skin issues.   What you will learn from this podcast:  ● A better understanding of the anatomy of the skin. ● The differences between conventional vs. organic skin care. ● How to understand conventional cosmetic labels and the ingredients found on them. ● How chemicals and synthetic preservatives can lead to premature aging and various types of cancers/diseases. ● How to effectively treat acne, eczema, rosacea, skin damage and various other skin conditions using organic ingredients. Hoping you learn as much as I did with this very educational episode, realizing what switching to organic and holistic products can do to your health in general as well as to your skin in particular. Good quality options can be affordable for everyone, so don't hesitate to make the change if you are still using conventional products for your skincare. Wishing more simplicity and ease in all that you do! You can connect to this episode on iTunes, Spotify or Stitcher by searching The Simplicity Sessions, or visiting jennpike.com/episode42. Learn more about David Brooke:  David Brooke is an international model who has worked for many high profile designers such as Giorgio Armani, Guess by Marciano, Calvin Klein, and Hugo Boss. Due to the various climate changes and endless amounts of products applied to his skin on any given day, David struggled for many years to find the best product line that could help him maintain the healthy, even skin complexion demanded by the fast paced fashion industry. After unsuccessfully trying numerous skin care products, David was referred to Skin Essence Organics, by a well-respected industry professional, and instantly noticed amazing improvements in his skin's texture and overall appearance. After successfully using Skin Essence for nearly nine years, David obtained a degree in business and has become a partner in the company.

This episode is all about skin care, why you would choose to use an alternative skin care, something that is more holistic, organic and natural based as opposed to commercial based. This matters not only for the skin you are inhabiting but for your entire body and how this impacts your hormones, thyroid and  gut among other organs.  My guest today is David Brooke who is the founder of Skin Essence, and we will dive deep into why using oils over lotions and creams can be so much more beneficial for your skin than commercial products, As well as the different things that you can use to treat the most common skin conditions and for preventive and beauty purposes, while we share our own personal stories dealing with skin issues. What you will learn from this podcast: <ul> <li>● A better understanding of the anatomy of the skin.</li> <li>● The differences between conventional vs. organic skin care.</li> <li>● How to understand conventional cosmetic labels and the ingredients found on them.</li> <li>● How chemicals and synthetic preservatives can lead to premature aging and various types of cancers/diseases.</li> <li>● How to effectively treat acne, eczema, rosacea, skin damage and various other skin conditions using organic ingredients.</li> <li>Hoping you learn as much as I did with this very educational episode, realizing what switching to organic and holistic products can do to your health in general as well as to your skin in particular. Good quality options can be affordable for everyone, so don't hesitate to make the change if you are still using conventional products for your skincare. Wishing more simplicity and ease in all that you do!</li> <li>You can connect to this episode on iTunes, Spotify or Stitcher by searching The Simplicity Sessions, or visiting <a href="http://jennpike.com/episode42" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">jennpike.com/episode42</a>.</li> <li>Learn more about David Brooke: </li> <li>David Brooke is an international model who has worked for many high profile designers such as Giorgio Armani, Guess by Marciano, Calvin Klein, and Hugo Boss.

Adrenal Fatigue With Jenn Pike

Joy McCarthy

Joy McCarthy is a Holistic Nutritionist and founder of JoyousHealth.com, an award-winning blog focused on healthy living. She is a two-time bestselling author of Joyous Health and Joyous Detox, a World Gourmand Cookbook Award recipient. Her third book, The Joyous Cookbook, comes out in 2019. A trusted nutrition expert, Joy has been featured in hundreds of publications both online and in print from CBC to CNN; and is a regular health expert on television including Cityline and CTV's Your Morning. Co-founder of the Joyous Health Business Program and creator of the Joyous Health Natural Body Care Line. Joy lives in Toronto with her husband Walker and their daughter Vienna. Joy loves social media and shares her passion for food, family and fun as a way to channel positive energy into the lives of others.   Joy shares her passion about the relationship between the gut microbiome and  your overall health. Recent research shows that we are more bacteria than we are human, that is why taking care of these bacteria has a vital importance.   The foundations of good gut health start with regular bowel movements which are essential for keeping hormone balance, as they directly contribute to hormone detoxification.    There are many key foods that are very effective at supporting the body’s natural detoxification process, like kale, cabbage, arugula, broccoli, cauliflower, and sea vegetables which protect the liver. A healthy diet should include  vegetables and fruits rich in fiber like spinach, apples, pears and green beans. The variety of these healthy foods makes a difference in assisting the detoxification of your systems. If you’ve experienced problems digesting raw foods, Joy also gives her best tips on how to start introducing them back into your diet.   Joy shares how the skin, as the largest channel of elimination, can be cared in different ways:   ● dry brushing,   ● showering the right way in order to protect your skin microbiome,  ● and getting rid of the beauty products that are adding toxins and chemicals instead of enhancing your natural beauty and health. Joy, as a mother and an entrepreneur, has to juggle and sort her way through the daily chaos to create space for her own health, and in this episode she is giving out the best tips for real, strong, loving, sensitive and creative women to live their lives in a joyful and healthy way.

 Recovering the Health of Your Gut Microbiome with Joy McCarthy

Susan S. Bratton

This episode is one of a kind! Susan S. Bratton is my guest today, she is an advocate for passionate relationships, and is considered an expert on sex. Susan has the ability to break down concepts such as libido, arousal, communication, and intimacy. Susan is an author, a renowned speaker and a serial entrepreneur who teaches passionate lovemaking techniques to people all around the world.   I consider this conversation to be very relevant since one of the most common struggles women present to me during the Hormone Project, is that they are even not having intimacy, having painful intercourse, suffer from vaginal dryness and overall feel disconnected from their bodies. These topics are often very difficult to address, being very taboo, and leave women suffering behind closed doors. This episode is meant to bring these recurrent problems to light, you are not alone!   These are the main topics addressed in this open and meaningful conversation about sex, passion, and relationships:    ● Susan shares how she became interested in helping people achieving their sexual potential and how she is currently struggling with the social pressure from people who don't support her work. ● Women’s main concerns: vaginal dryness, how to keep libido up while aging, self-pleasure and orgasmic potential. ● Susan gives suggestions about how to manage intimacy when there are children in the house. ● Women's arousal times are completely different than men’s. ● How to train your partner about your body. ● Susan shares a technique: The Soulmate Embrace. ● Stop acting, explain what you need to your partner.  ● Susan explains how to get your vaginal tissue stimulated in order for a better flow of fluids and energy. ● How a man should touch the most sensitive parts of your clitoris structure and the labia. ● The inside of your vaginal area and its different parts. ● Every woman should be encouraged to practice self-pleasuring since it increases lubrication, arousal, and orgasmic potential.   I hope you enjoyed this open conversation about sexual pleasure, women’s bodies and relationships. The aim of this episode is to encourage you to explore different ways to ignite your libido while discovering new forms to get in touch with your femininity. I wish you a healthy dose of curiosity about your own body and more simplicity and ease in all that you do!

I don't fault the secret-keepers. They are just people who haven't had the opportunity to learn some simple communication skills. Skills that mean the difference between a relationship full of disappointment, fire-and-acid fights and even the heartbreak of infidelity versus the kind of love and intimacy that grows deeper and more satisfying through the years.

Achieving Your Sexual Potential with Susan S. Bratton

Megan Schmidt

We've all experienced it -- the point in life where you recognize something is no longer serving you. You know you need to up-level and make a change, but you're not sure how to go about it. In today's podcast episode, I'm pleased to be accompanied by Megan Schmidt. After the birth of her baby, Megan suffered from postpartum anxiety, had debilitating fatigue, a husband who was working shifts and she reached the realization that she needed to find something different for herself — because the way she was feeling just wasn’t working anymore. She was so busy serving everyone else, that she let herself down time and time again. She was just surviving every day. Today she shares the story of how she found herself again and learned to thrive.   Megan is a plant-based health coach, yoga instructor, mindset mentor, host of The Align Wellness Podcast and mom to three girls. She teaches women how to become healthier, happier and more fulfilled by showing them how to practice better self-care and manage their minds.   These are the main topics of an amazing conversation:  ● Megan shares how becoming a mother changed her identity. ● Megan became a health coach and realized that the mindset needed to be linked for women to reach their optimal health. ● Vegetarianism vs plant-based nutrition. ● A Path to Wellness, a life-transforming path. ● Raising children is an ongoing learning process. ● It is ok for things to be hard. ● You are the thinker of your thoughts, you are in control of your mindset. ● Simple things you can do to enhance your mindset. ● Witness what you do without judging yourself. ● Are you in or out of alignment?   I hope this episode has helped you to open up your mind-frame. Wishing more simplicity and ease in all that you do!

We've all experienced it -- the point in life where you recognize something is no longer serving you. You know you need to up-level and make a change, but you're not sure how to go about it. In today's podcast episode, I'm pleased to be accompanied by Megan Schmidt. After the birth of her baby, Megan suffered from postpartum anxiety, had debilitating fatigue, a husband who was working shifts and she reached the realization that she needed to find something different for herself — because the way she was feeling just wasn’t working anymore. She was so busy serving everyone else, that she let herself down time and time again. She was just surviving every day. Today she shares the story of how she found herself again and learned to thrive. Megan is a plant-based health coach, yoga instructor, mindset mentor, host of The Align Wellness Podcast and mom to three girls. She teaches women how to become healthier, happier and more fulfilled by showing them how to practice better self-care and manage their minds. These are the main topics of an amazing conversation: <ul> <li>● Megan shares how becoming a mother changed her identity.</li> <li>● Megan became a health coach and realized that the mindset needed to be linked for women to reach their optimal health.</li> <li>● Vegetarianism vs plant-based nutrition.</li> <li>● A Path to Wellness, a life-transforming path.</li> <li>● Raising children is an ongoing learning process.</li> <li>● It is ok for things to be hard.</li> <li>● You are the thinker of your thoughts, you are in control of your mindset.</li> <li>● Simple things you can do to enhance your mindset.</li> <li>● Witness what you do without judging yourself.</li> <li>● Are you in or out of alignment?</li> <li> </li> <li>I hope this episode has helped you to open up your mind-frame.

Achieve Your Optimal Health: Live a Life That Is Fulfilled  With Megan Schmidt

This episode is dedicated to what our daughters need to know about their changing bodies, their hormones, and their health. This time I am talking about eight to thirteen years old girls, the signs and symptoms of puberty coming on, and then the different transformations happening during the teen years and early twenties.   There are serious gaps in the education and information that is delivered to children and adolescents, and my aim today is to give valuable information about the female body, its chemistry, physiology, and biology, focusing on the hormonal and endocrine systems.   Being a woman is amazing and I want every girl to truly believe in this and to know that health is possible in every stage, phase and age.   These are the main topics of an awesome show:  ● The menstrual cycle is the fifth vital sign of health. ● Cycle tracking helps doctors to make an early diagnosis of reproductive health issues. ● Our periods should not debilitate us. ● Puberty does not start with the first cycle. ● The follicular stimulating hormone is the one responsible for ovulation. ● We go through puberty twice as women. ● Signs and symptoms of puberty coming in. ● Introduce your daughter to an all-natural deodorant. ● The whole family needs to be included in this conversation. ● Download a period tracking app and teach your daughter to write down her symptoms. ● What is precocious or early puberty telling you? ● How dairy and carbohydrates can affect a girl’s body. ● How to decrease painful periods. ● The right testing to run. ● Check her weight and level of activity. ● From 13 to 20 our body is working in better establishing a rhythm. ● The effects of taking birth control pills. ● The cycle and periods’ lengths. ● The different phases of a cycle. ● Acne and skin changes. ● The truth about PCOS. ● Fertility is about taking care of the reproductive system, not about getting pregnant. ● Be there for your daughter by guiding her to a nutritious diet! ● Key supplements to support your daughter’s growth and health: Probiotics, Magnesium, B Vitamins, Vitamin D, and quality iron. ● Use organic hygiene products or menstrual cups.   Growing up is very intense for so many reasons, it is critical to teach our girls about their bodies, but also about taking care of themselves, so they don't grow up into women who put everything and everyone above themselves. Wishing more simplicity and ease in all that you do!    You can connect to this episode on iTunes, Spotify or Stitcher by searching The Simplicity Sessions, or visiting www.jennpike.com/podcast.

Everything Our Daughters Need to Know  About Their Changing Bodies with Jenn Pike

Julie Daniluk

Julie Daniluk RHN is a leading nutritionist and the co-host of Healthy Gourmet, a reality cooking show on OWN (the Oprah Winfrey Network). For twelve years, she was a co-operative owner and the Chief in store Nutritionist for one of Canada's largest health food stores, The Big Carrot Natural Food Market.   In this episode, Julie shares her knowledge about inflammation and how to reverse inflammatory conditions. Julie cured herself from what started as an E-coli infection she contracted in Asia, that kept progressing until she decided she needed to take the matter in her own hands.   She developed a list of foods that made her feel horrible, that ended up as a 15 pages document that Julie shared with friends and later became the foundation of her book  Meals That Heal Inflammation.   Women suffer with inflammation more than men do. When women are transiting menopause, the sudden drop in estrogen causes higher inflammatory responses. The fact that women need to metabolize more estrogen than men, makes them more genetically predisposed to having a more sensitive immune system.   Inflammation acts different during the stages in women’s life. Young people tend to have polycystic ovarian syndrome, in these cases an ultrasound can be a great way to know more about the ovaries’ health before any treatment is implemented (avoid birth control pills as a measure to treat hormonal imbalance at all costs!)   It is also important to keep in mind that our intolerance to certain foods place one of the biggest roles in the hormonal cascade, so remember that researching and finding out which foods we don’t tolerate is crucial to our overall health.   How can we devise a realistic approach to removing these inflammatory triggers in our body?  Start a food journal before beginning an elimination protocol. Learn about what you are eating and start adding foods that have macronutrients, as well as doubling up essential fatty acids, and get ready to feel amazing results in your hormonal balance within a month or two.    How do we reduce autoimmunity? When you suffer from leaky gut (hyperpermeability of the gut) there is a high autoimmune response from your body. To help digestion Mandarin Skin Plus is a great ally and is a key tool to reduce autoimmunity. Also, you should add probiotics to your diet, but be very careful of highly fermented foods (like kombucha) that bring in a lot of histamine and sugar cane.   Favorite superfoods Artichokes: Every single part of the artichoke has its own super power! Arugula: Shifts hormones while reducing inflammation, and assists your liver in metabolizing estrogen correctly. Burdock: Is a profound blood, lymphatic and liver cleanser that also helps eliminate toxins. Cherries and Pomegranates: Have them for better fertility and anti-inflammatory effect. Add raw cacao to your diet (not sugar filled commercial chocolate!).   Never give up! Miracles are real! Become your own body detector and regain your health.   Wishing you more simplicity and ease in everything you do!   For a live experience with Jenn: Please contact Nature's Emporium Newmarket directly via info@naturesemporium.com or 905-898-1844 to register for the LIVE Simplicity Project course that begins January 23rd.

Curing Inflammation Without Medication with Julie Daniluk

Since this will be our 10th round of The Hormone Project (starting June 17th) my team and I decided we needed to release an epic education series to say THANK YOU to all of the women who have applied and come through this course. This is part two of our series, and it’s all about cycle syncing and fertility awareness.    During this session I dive into what is actually happening when we are getting our menstrual cycle, why this is the fifth vital sign of our bodies, what we need to be paying attention to and I break down the four different phases of our cycles and talk about this in relationship to the ways we are going to feel and move and our overall health and wellness.    This episode is a little longer than usual, but it will be releasing as part of a series, complete with a digital worksheet and a video recording (stay tuned for its release in June!!)    These are the main topics I’m addressing in this amazing masterclass:    ● Menstrual cycle as the fifth vital sign. ● The lack of time in doctor’s appointment to truly listen to what is going on in your body. ● Putting your health before anything else. ● The pill is meant to be used as a contraceptive. ● Physical consequences from taking birth control pills. ● Cycle syncing. ● Understanding the fluctuating nature of our cycles. ● The four phases of women’s cycles. ● Pay attention to your schedule. ● What is your own biological blueprint? ● The five main hormones involved in your cycle. ● When you bleed on the pill, that is not a period. ● How to do a cycle sync when you are on the pill. ● How to tell our girls what is going on in their bodies. ● Digestion and hormones. ● The Follicular phase. ● The Ovulatory phase. ● The Luteal phase. ● The Menstrual phase. ● What to do if you do not have a cycle. ● Steps to improve your cycle syncing. ● Fix your menstrual problems. ● Seed cycling. ● 7 steps of simplicity for healthier and happier cycles. ● Issues that get in the way of achieving your best health. I hope this episode helps you to keep building your relationship and the internal talk with your body while expanding your knowledge about the phases of the menstrual cycle. Wishing more simplicity and ease in all that you do! You can connect to this episode on iTunes, Spotify or Stitcher by searching The Simplicity Sessions, or visiting jennpike.com/episode36.

Supporting Detoxification with Samantha Gladish

Carrie Jones

Dr. Carrie Jones is a naturopathic doctor and a medical director for Precision Analytical, which is the company that handles all the dutch hormone testing that is run for women in the hormone project and through my practice.   Listen to this episode to unwrap knowledge about the work of hormones in your body, stress connection, estrogen and androgen dominance and the impact on your thyroid. Take your time to absorb and digest this information, and if a lot of what is said today resonates with you, you should take a look at the Hormone Project starting in January.     Why are hormones so critical to our overall health? Hormones are made in glands, they basically give the message to other glands in your body to do or not to do something, so when there is a overproduction or, on the contrary, not enough hormones, the symptoms start to show. It’s all about balance because hormones are literally the chemical messengers that tell your body what to do and help you feel better. There needs to be an appropriate amount of messages and they need to be received by the right gland!   “My test results are fine… but I don't feel well.” Usually lab test cover the basic aspects of your health, they go over functions and signals just to make sure you are not going to die. Short doctor’s consultations don't help either! But you can ask for more, go deeper than a simple blood test! Ask for other lab tests and sometimes you even have to consider changing doctors.    How DUTCH Panel testing helps to describe what is going on in our bodies? It is an easy to collect urine test where you get all the traditional hormone results, but also all the pathways that these hormones are travelling (which blood, saliva or stool lab tests don’t show).    The Estrogen Path Your body makes estrogen and when this production is over, the estrogen needs to be broken down and excreted. In the first stage of this transit, estrogen can be directed through one of three differents paths called:  2, 4 and 16. Number 2 is the healthy path, 4 can potentially increase your risk for cancer and 16 is called prolific. In the second stage your body has to neutralize the estrogen, this phase is called the detox stage. These two phases need to be addressed differently.   Estrogen Dominance  As a woman, your estrogen rises right before ovulation, and then it goes down for later rising back up again before the following ovulation. The second time it goes up, your progesterone needs to be high and healthy. But if you have low progesterone production, your estrogen will be unattended and run wild, which translates into heavy periods, tender breasts, mood changes...and it is called estrogen dominance (since progesterone is not enough).    Sleep, Sleep, Sleep During REM sleep you dream and during deep sleep your body heals! Cortisol goes down, you lose weight, men produce more testosterone. Just sleeping makes you healthier! Androgen Dominance You can either make an excess of testosterone that stimulates androgen receptors, causing symptoms such as greasy skin, cystic acne, chin hair...or you can be making normal amounts of testosterone but going in an androgenic pathway, creating imbalance. To restore your hormonal balance, start by slowing down, insulin has to be kept low, lift weight, check your diet, have the right supplements, include more Zinc in your diet. Check your Thyroid Are you converting T4 to T3 well? Your TSH might look ok if your pituitary is fine, but you can have a thyroid problem, running a TSH, T3 and T4. T3 can be deactivated to reverse T3 (RT3). You have to investigate the whole pathway, dig deeper, ask the right questions!   I encourage you to invest your time and make the right choices to heal your hormones and restore their balance, hoping that this information has contributed to get you closer to your health goals. Wishing you more simplicity and ease in all that you do!    For a live experience with Jenn: Please contact Nature's Emporium Newmarket directly via info@naturesemporium.com or 905-898-1844 to register for the LIVE Simplicity Project course that begins January 23rd.

Dr. Carrie Jones is a naturopathic doctor and a medical director for Precision Analytical, which is the company that handles all the dutch hormone testing that is run for women in the hormone project and through my practice. Listen to this episode to unwrap knowledge about the work of hormones in your body, stress connection, estrogen and androgen dominance and the impact on your thyroid. Take your time to absorb and digest this information, and if a lot of what is said today resonates with you, you should take a look at the <a href="http://www.jennpike.com/thehormoneproject" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">Hormone Project</a> starting in January.   Why are hormones so critical to our overall health? Hormones are made in glands, they basically give the message to other glands in your body to do or not to do something, so when there is a overproduction or, on the contrary, not enough hormones, the symptoms start to show. It’s all about balance because hormones are literally the chemical messengers that tell your body what to do and help you feel better. There needs to be an appropriate amount of messages and they need to be received by the right gland! “My test results are fine… but I don't feel well.” Usually lab test cover the basic aspects of your health, they go over functions and signals just to make sure you are not going to die. Short doctor’s consultations don't help either! But you can ask for more, go deeper than a simple blood test! Ask for other lab tests and sometimes you even have to consider changing doctors.  How DUTCH Panel testing helps to describe what is going on in our bodies? It is an easy to collect urine test where you get all the traditional hormone results, but also all the pathways that these hormones are travelling (which blood, saliva or stool lab tests don’t show).  The Estrogen Path Your body makes estrogen and when this production is over, the estrogen needs to be broken down and excreted. In the first stage of this transit, estrogen can be directed through one of three differents paths called:  2, 4 and 16. Number 2 is the healthy path, 4 can potentially increase your risk for cancer and 16 is called prolific. In the second stage your body has to neutralize the estrogen, this phase is called the detox stage. These two phases need to be addressed differently. Estrogen Dominance  As a woman, your estrogen rises right before ovulation, and then it goes down for later rising back up again before the following ovulation. The second time it goes up, your progesterone needs to be high and healthy. But if you have low progesterone production, your estrogen will be unattended and run wild, which translates into heavy periods, tender breasts, mood changes...and it is called estrogen dominance (since progesterone is not enough).  Sleep, Sleep, Sleep During REM sleep you dream and during deep sleep your body heals! Cortisol goes down, you lose weight, men produce more testosterone. Just sleeping makes you healthier! Androgen Dominance You can either make an excess of testosterone that stimulates androgen receptors, causing symptoms such as greasy skin, cystic acne, chin hair...or you can be making normal amounts of testosterone but going in an androgenic pathway, creating imbalance. To restore your hormonal balance, start by slowing down, insulin has to be kept low, lift weight, check your diet, have the right supplements, include more Zinc in your diet. Check your Thyroid Are you converting T4 to T3 well? Your TSH might look ok if your pituitary is fine, but you can have a thyroid problem, running a TSH, T3 and T4. T3 can be deactivated to reverse T3 (RT3). You have to investigate the whole pathway, dig deeper, ask the right questions! I encourage you to invest your time and make the right choices to heal your hormones and restore their balance, hoping that this information has contributed to get you closer to your health goals. Wishing you more simplicity and ease in all that you do!  For a live experience with Jenn: Please contact Nature's Emporium Newmarket directly via <a href="mailto:info@naturesemporium.com">info@naturesemporium.com</a> or 905-898-1844 to register for the LIVE Simplicity Project course that begins January 23rd.

Most Common Questions About Women’s Health and Their Answers with Jenn Pike

Today I will start a series of two episodes were I will talk about thyroid and adrenal health. This topic will be split into two, so you can really understand the content and go over it as much as needed.   Unfortunately, the signs the adrenals give us are usually dismissed, we tend to think it is “normal” since we have always felt this way. These symptoms can be:  ● Low energy. ● Exhaustion (mental and emotional). ● Low or unstable mood. ● You need stimulants to get through the day.  ● Acne, Eczema, Psoriasis. ● No sex drive. ● PMS increases. ● Brain fog, memory problems, dizziness. ● Irritable mood. The term “Adrenal Fatigue” refers to a miscommunication and dysfunction happening  in your HPA axis and so it does communicate efficiently with the rest of your body.  Adrenals work together with the hypothalamus and the pituitary gland to regulate your response to stress and are deeply connected to other systems in your body, influencing your ovulation, energy, mood, motivation, metabolism and immune system. When adrenals are exhausted metabolic chaos begins, this is not just about weight loss but your health in general. How do you test your adrenals?    ● Your doctor can take your blood pressure when you are laying down and sitting up then compare the results.  ● Cortisol measurement test. ● Measuring Insulin. ● HPA1C ● Full thyroid panel if possible. ● TSH, Free T4 and Free T3 ● DHES ● IG levels. ● Progesterone levels. ● Gluten antibodies. ● Dutch hormone test. How do you begin to heal Adrenal fatigue?   ● Lifestyle (drink water, take supplements, sleep longer, reduce or avoid coffee, exercise). ● Stabilize your blood sugar, eat whole food! ● Supplementation. ● Herbs to help balance your adrenals. ● Sleep, sleep, sleep. ● Joy! ● Move your body. How long this recovery takes? If the fatigue is mild, in 6 to 12 months you can feel like you are back on your feet. If your fatigue is moderate, you will probably need one year and if your fatigue is intense, it will take around 18 months. This did not happen overnight it can´t be fixed overnight, be patient and compassionate with your body. Next week’s episode is going to be about thyroid function.  Wishing you more simplicity and ease in all that you do!
