This week on the Podcast, Leah and Holly are joined by Courtney Bursich from Organic Blondie. Courtney is a Functional Diagnostic Nutrition Practitioner, AADP Board Certified Holistic Health Coach, and passionate health hacker who focuses on optimizing female hormones and taking an individualized approach to healing.   In this episode: Courtney shares her health journey and how her children sparked her to want more. Courtney shares what hormonal imbalances are and how she sees them commonly manifest in her clients. She shares how estrogen dominance/androgen dominance are among the common. She also shares that “women’s cycles and fertility are a vital sign. When we are always fighting our body, it ends up rebelling against us and our treatments rather than taking the time to slow down and try to figure it out. Certain medications and interventions may be necessary in some cases, but maybe not, and at what cost?” What foods and natural alternatives are helpful in hormonal imbalance. And where does Ayurveda – An ancient Indian tradition fit into our modern lifestyles.
