Send us a textHi, I'm Bridget! Women's Hormone Coach, Functional Hormone Specialist, and the host and founder of I'm Hormonal. You're doing everything right - tracking macros, meal prepping, hitting the gym religiously. So why do you feel exhausted, bloated, and like your period has gone MIA? Here's the plot twist: the problem isn't what you're eating, it's how much you're NOT eating.Most high-achieving women are unknowingly starving their hormone production. When you undereat, your body goes into survival mode - cortisol spikes, digestion shuts down, and period production gets put on the back burner. Your body literally can't afford to make a baby when it thinks you're in a famine.In this episode, we're breaking down:Why your "clean" 1,200-calorie diet is actually sabotaging your hormonesHow undereating creates the perfect storm for PCOS symptoms and blood sugar chaosWhy you need way more fat and protein than you think (and no, it won't make you gain weight)The simple 3-day tracking method I use with clients to uncover their eating patternsReal client stories of women who saw changes in their periods after just weeks of adjusting their nutrient intakeCONNECT WITH BRIDGET LinkedIn | Instagram | Website | www.imhormonal.com/apply Claim Your Free Strategy Call | Sign up for weekly tips via email

Send us a textEarlier this week, Bridget interviewed Nat (@fertilityawarenessproject) about all things fertility awareness. This episode recaps Bridget's main takeaways from the conversation.• Fertility awareness works even for those with irregular cycles like PCOS• The method tracks three key indicators: cervical mucus, LH levels, and basal body temperature• Rising estrogen before ovulation changes cervical mucus quality and quantity• LH strips help predict when ovulation is about to occur• Basal body temperature rises after ovulation due to progesterone production• FAM differs from the rhythm method by using your body's specific signals, not calendar predictions• Temperature can be tracked with devices like TempDrop or traditional oral thermometers• Fertility awareness and cycle awareness complement each otherConnect with Nat on Instagram @FertilityAwarenessProject or visit fertilityawarenessproject.ca.

Send us a textThe Fertility Awareness Method (FAM) offers a science-backed approach to natural birth control that helps you understand your fertile window through tracking biological markers like basal body temperature and cervical mucus. Nat, a fertility awareness educator, explains how this method empowers women by providing deeper insights into their cycles and hormonal patterns.• FAM is not the rhythm method or natural cycles, but rather tracks ovulation signs specifically• Reliable ovulation signs include basal body temperature, cervical mucus, and sometimes LH tests• Manual charting is preferred over predictive algorithmic apps• Daily tracking takes only minutes but provides powerful insights about fertility status• FAM works effectively even with irregular cycles or PCOS• Ovulation can be confirmed through temperature shifts, making it possible to identify safe periods• Cervical mucus observations don't require large amounts - subtle signs are equally importantConnect with Nat on Instagram @FertilityAwarenessProject or visit fertilityawarenessproject.ca.
