Hormones & Metabolism to Transmute Pain into Somatic Self Love Rachael Aurora #10

This podcast dives into Rachael's journey of searching for better solutions for herself after suffering an immense amount of pain growing up in an environment where medical professionals seldom have the time for truly listening to a woman's sometimes horrible experience growing and adjusting to massive hormonal shifts/imbalances in their own body.

Rachael's Favorite Nutritional Tips:

Chocolate Cravings — Oxaloacetate (OAA) helps the liver convert fatty acids into blood sugar. Cravings & mood swings in the luteal phase may be related to drops in blood sugar (specifically in the brain). So supplementing with oxaloacetate may help smooth the blood sugar rollercoaster. The company JUBILANCE does a lot of good work on this. (Not an endorsement.)

Craving chocolate? Try this super healthy, hormone balancing & craving-curbing chocolatey drink:

- 2TBSP cocoa powder
- full fat coconut milk
- cinnamon (balances blood sugar)
- collagen protein
- inulin fiber (like Anthony’s Organic)
