EP 59: The Productivity Hormone Fix to Boost Energy & Achieve More [Expert: Sara Moreira]

Hello Hormone-Balancing Mama!

Are you feeling exhausted no matter how much you sleep? Do you suffer from energy crashes that hit hard, especially after having kids? Dealing with stubborn weight that won't budge despite eating "clean"?

So many high-achieving moms struggle with these hormone challenges – including me! We want to maintain energy without burning out, but conventional medicine often tells us "everything looks normal" when we feel anything but normal.

In today's episode, I talk with Sara Moreira, a former labor and delivery nurse turned functional diagnostic nutrition practitioner and mom of 4. Sara specializes in helping women restore their metabolism, digestion, and energy after having kids. She shares practical advice for moms who want to balance their master hormones like insulin and cortisol without complicated protocols.

Our conversation reveals surprising connections between:

Circadian rhythm and energy levels
Gut health and hormone balance
Mineral depletion and fatigue
High achievement and hormone chaos

And gets to the bottom of:

Root cause investigation versus symptom management
How to working with your body versus against it

If you're ready to understand your body on a deeper level and get real results that last while still being the amazing mama that you are, hit play so you can Achieve Your Ambitious Mom Life!

Selected Quotable Moments

"Your gut is where hormones are metabolized, but also eliminated. So if your digestion is sluggish or you have a lot of inflammation or anything like that, estrogen, for example, cannot be properly detoxed."

"Mitochondria need light cues from outside, from the sunlight. So one of the easiest things we can do is just get more time outside and live a more seasonally-aligned life."

"We want to avoid the hospital. We want to avoid doctors, right? We may need it one day and that's okay, but we want to try to avoid as much as possible and get back to a state of optimal health."
