If you’ve ever tried herbal remedies and wondered why some seem life-changing while others feel like nothing at all, this episode is for you. Not all herbs or tinctures are created equal. The way they’re grown, processed, and blended makes all the difference in whether they actually work.In this episode I’m sharing:The story behind Subluna and why its founder started creating remedies outside of the conventional systemWhy fresh herbs are more potent than dried ones and how mass production strips plants of their vitalityThe power of wildcrafting and sourcing from small farmers who know every plant they growHow true herbalists formulate blends (and why most store-bought “formulas” miss the mark)What “herbal energetics” mean (hot, cold, moist, or dry) and why they determine whether an herb will work for youTips for building confidence with herbs, including how to use herbal monographs and your own intuitionThe must-have herbs for your home cabinet (like echinacea, elderberry, and California poppy)Why Subluna’s gummies and drink mixes are different and how to use them for kids and adultsRemember: herbs aren’t one-size-fits-all. This episode will help you understand what makes plant medicine effective, how to choose remedies that truly support your body, and how to bring more herbal wisdom into your everyday life.Leah’s Favorite Things: https://www.leahbrueggemann.com/favoritesCheck out Subluna at https://shopsubluna.com/ and use code LEAH at checkout to save.🙏 Thank you to Paleovalley for sponsoring this episode!👉 Go to https://paleovalley.com/leah and enter code LEAH at checkout for 15% off.🙏Thank you to Eversio Wellness for sponsoring this episode!👉 Go to https://www.eversiowellness.com/discount/LEAH or enter code LEAH at checkout for 15% off.—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.

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.

Have you ever wondered if “clean” makeup is actually clean or just another marketing trick?I’ve been there too and this episode is for every woman who’s tried to switch to cleaner makeup, only to be overwhelmed by ingredient lists, disappointed by performance, or just left wondering what’s actually safe.This week, I’m walking you through my personal (and slightly chaotic) journey of testing a ton of clean beauty brands—from the fails to the holy grails.

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?

EPISODE 205: If you’ve ever felt like you’re living in an unending cycle of stress, then I want you to know that you’re not alone.I’ve been there, and I know how difficult it can be to break the cycle and see the light at the end of the tunnel. Lately, I’ve been dealing with the stress that comes with a difficult pregnancy.

I’ll also be discussing the importance of letting yourself experience ALL your emotions (yes, even negative ones), why you need to set strong boundaries to conserve mental and emotional energy, why incorporating joy-filled activities into your daily routine is a must, and much more.Are you ready for this special episode?Then tune in now.Key Takeaways: Introduction (00:00)How do I manage stress?
