If you're sitting on day 30 of your cycle wondering why you haven't ovulated yet, this episode is for you. Ovulation is like a monthly report card for overall health. When it's delayed or missing, your body is missing out on progesterone, your "keep calm and carry on" hormone that stabilizes mood, improves sleep, and supports metabolism.In this episode I'm sharing:• Why stress (both obvious and hidden internal stress like food sensitivities) literally hijacks hormone production and delays ovulation• The nutrient deficiencies that prevent ovulation (magnesium, B vitamins, & zinc) and why your "normal" labs might miss the real story• How thyroid issues and PCOS mess with ovulation timing, even when doctors say you're fine• Why that intense workout routine or restrictive diet sends your body into survival mode• My exact approach to get ovulation back on track naturallyRemember: ovulation brings your period. No ovulation means no real period just withdrawal bleeds that fool you into thinking everything's fine. This episode will help you get to the root of why your body hits pause on ovulation and what you can do to get back on track.Leah's Favorite things: https://www.leahbrueggemann.com/favorites00:00 Understanding Ovulation and Pregnancy05:49 The Importance of Tracking Ovulation11:55 Factors Affecting Ovulation17:51 Nutritional Impact on Ovulation23:50 Stress and Hormonal Balance27:58 Call to Action🙏 Thank you SO much to Nutrisense for sponsoring this episode!👉 nutrisense.io/leah - Code : Leah33 save 33% on your Nutrisense program—I’m Leah Brueggemann, a Functional Diagnostic Nutritional® Practitioner and Hormone Health Coach, helping you balance your hormones in effective and realistic ways so you can live a healthier, happier life.Through the Balance Hormones Naturally podcast, you’ll discover why your cycle is so important to your everyday health and how you can use nutrition to help support the rise and fall of your hormones and finally feel truly amazing.

You’ll hear which ones passed the ingredient test, which ones totally blew me away performance-wise, and which ones... well, didn’t make the cut.We’re talking texture, blendability, wear time, and—because you know I care—fragrance, parabens, talc, and all the sneaky toxins I won’t touch.So if you’ve ever stood in the beauty aisle thinking, ‘what do I even buy?’ this one’s for you.Tune in now to learn more!Key Takeaways: Introduction (00:00)Why clean makeup is important (00:49)My brand reviews (05:50)Additional Links & Resources:➡️ Download my Switch & Ditch Guide: https://docs.google.com/document/d/1F3j5tcpetVh6kkmherCQRVYHUG6ugBnZtbx8lVkljP0/edit?tab=t.0 ➡️ Book your FREE consult call: https://link.healthmsgsender.com/widget/booking/bRa7dic05dThvnu4RxRz ➡️ (FREE TRAINING) Learn the 3 secrets to balancing your hormones naturally: https://freehormonetraining.com/?utm_source=youtube&utm_medium=video&utm_campaign=podcast—🙏 Thank you to Paleovalley for sponsoring this episode!👉 Go to https://paleovalley.com/promos/balancing-hormones-naturally-multi-product-page or enter code LEAH at checkout for 15% off.—⏺ Get your personalized hormone balance protocol:https://www.leahbrueggemann.com/mineral-magic⏺ Learn more about my 6-month hormone reset program: https://www.leahbrueggemann.com/hormone-reset-program⏺ Sign up for my coaching program (limited access): https://www.leahbrueggemann.com/private-coaching⏺ Explore all of my favorite products here: https://www.leahbrueggemann.com/favorites—I’m Leah Brueggemann, a Functional Diagnostic Nutritional® Practitioner and Hormone Health Coach, helping you balance your hormones in effective and realistic ways so you can live a healthier, happier life.Through the Balance Hormones Naturally podcast, you’ll discover why your cycle is so important to your everyday health and how you can use nutrition to help support the rise and fall of your hormones and finally feel truly amazing.

Ladies, today, I’m here to… complain—or at least, say one thing: I’m tired of being told my salad is killing me; and I bet, so are you!Health advice can be so overwhelming, especially with the vast amount of information available on the internet, coming from doctors, fitness influencers, wellness gurus, and everyone else in between. And what’s worse is that a lot of the advice we read often contradicts itself: eat meat, don’t eat meat, dairy is bad for you, dairy is good for you, oat milk is the way to go, oat milk will raise your blood sugar and give you diabetes, etc…So it’s no surprise that we’re all so tired of keeping track of all the things we should and shouldn’t use or consume.This is why, in this episode, I’ll be addressing the overload of conflicting health advice that leaves many of us confused and overwhelmed. From keto to carnivore to fearing vegetables for their oxalates, I will be unpacking how trends dominate the wellness space and distract us from sustainable, common-sense approaches to health.If you've ever felt paralyzed by the contradictions in wellness advice, this episode is your permission slip to simplify.Tune in now to learn more.Key Takeaways: Introduction (00:00)Navigating conflicting health advice (00:49)Where to seek balance?
