EPISODE 182: Many of my listeners contact me with questions like “I have to eat out because I was traveling, will this ruin my progress?” or “ I’m pregnant and I can’t handle meat right now, how badly am I going to hurt my hormones?” and my answer is always the same: You’re not going to hurt your hormones at all.This is because hormonal balance (as well as hormonal imbalance) comes as the result of long-term habits. And so, eating junk food once won’t ruin your hormones. On the other hand, eating one blood sugar balanced meal once won’t help your hormones either.It’s all about building good habits (and getting rid of bad ones), slowly but surely.Not sure where to start?Well you’re in luck, because this is exactly what I discuss in this week’s episode of the Balancing Hormones Naturally podcast.Are you ready?Let’s dive in.

Dealing with thyroid symptoms or related issues, like Hashimoto's? In this episode, we sit down with Ryan Monahan of the Mindful Nutrivore to talk about how to holistically address the root causes of thyroid issues. We explore 4 key aspects of thyroid dysfunction: infections, toxin exposure, nutrient deficiencies, and stress. The main takeaway? It's not just about quick fixes; it's about understanding and supporting your thyroid health with longterm nutrition and lifestyle shifts.Ryan Monahan is a Functional Diagnostic Nutrition Practitioner (FDN-P) Level III, clinical advisor, nationally board certified with the National Board of Health and Wellness Coaches, and certified Autoimmune Protocol Coach with a passion for uncovering hidden stressors that contribute to thyroid disease. Ryan spent over 10 years visiting more than 40 health professionals to find answers to his chronic health complaints until being diagnosed with Hashimoto’s in 2012. Since then, his mission has been to change the dialogue about chronic disease towards a holistic, functional approach. With the help of cutting edge functional lab work, Ryan helps his clients to identify the true root causes of their primary health challenges so that they can stop wasting time and resources, and start living their best life. Typically, his clients are those who have struggled with finding relief from their autoimmune symptoms. Oftentimes, they feel that they’ve “tried everything”, and that traditional medicine hasn’t served them. In his experience, there is a better way.In this episode, you'll learn more about:4 key areas of thyroid dysfunction and supportUnderstanding thyroid testing and markersWhy thyroid medications impact everyone differentlyConnect with Ryanhttps://www.themindfulnutrivore.com/Instagram: @TheMindfulNutrivoreThank you to Funk It Wellness for sponsoring this episode!Use code LEAH15 for 15% off at Funk It WellnessThank you to Paleovalley for sponsoring this episode!Use code LEAH for 15% off at Paleovalley.....All of Leah’s favorite productsApply for 1:1 coaching You can join our private facebook group Balancing Hormones NaturallyFollow us on Instagram @balancinghormonesnaturally The recommendations presented in this podcast are not a substitute for medical advice from a qualified doctor.
