Episode 7: Oysters & Dark Chocolate: Using Nutrition to Balance Your Hormones with Madeline MacKinnon

Trying to understand how to balance your hormones for ease throughout your monthly cycle can feel like you are stumbling in a dark basement without any light - overwhelming with little hope of the outcome you are desiring.

For most of us, we haven’t been encouraged to be curious about our hormones. In fact we probably know very little, never mind how we can have the power to balance them for deeper wellness.

Madeline MacKinnon is a hormone nutritionist who has been coaching women for 10 years on how to eat for their menstrual cycle and their hormones. She is dedicated to helping women recover from debilitating hormone imbalances through holistic strategies to balance their hormones and improve their fertility without synthetic hormones or medications.

And so today, Madeline is going to give us the 101 on nutrition and how we can nourish our hormones for deeper wellness.

  • How might we know we have an imbalance in a specific hormone like estrogen, progesterone, and testosterone

  • What are some superfoods to get our hormones back on balance

  • How the diet culture has been wrecking our hormone balance and how 10 years later you may be just now seeing the negative side effects

  • And Madeline lets the cat out of the bag on her big surprise! You won’t want to miss this announcement.

I loved this conversation with Madeline MacKinnon so much. Nutrition is something I struggle with as a mom with 3 kids and I am realized from this conversation that my hormones are not functioning at their best. So expect to hear Madeline again on this podcast as I need to know more about my hormones and what the heck is going on. 


Until then, I am going to plug my nose, get down an oyster and chase it with some good dark chocolate. 

Don’t forget to share your takeaways in the Facebook group or on instagram and ask any lingering questions. I can always bring Madeline back on for a follow up!
