It's 2026. Saying women's health is too complicated to be researched no longer cuts it.

Here are some scary facts about women's health research.
❗️Women were not included in research studies until 1993
❗️The first ever congressional hearing on menopause just happened in September 2026.
❗️Under 2% of private healthcare funding goes toward women-specific conditions like endometriosis, menopause, and PMOS.
❗️There are no current FDA approved testosterone products for women in the US, despite research (the small amt done in women) showing the benefits of its use.

Women deserve better.

Like if you agree.

Women deserve hormone testing, and it's about time we stop telling women we can't.

If you go to your doctor and tell them a list of complaints, they will typically order a whole bunch of blood work to assess the problem. Except for women's hormones.

You're told they fluctuate too much to be accurate, that its only 1 snapshot in time. Yes, that is true, but that doesn't mean it can't be done.

I find hormone testing incredibly valuable for my perimenopausal females. These are the hormone labs I order for every female patient interested in hormone replacement therapy:
✔️FSH
✔️Estradiol
✔️Progesterone
✔️Total testosterone
✔️Sex hormone binding globulin

There are some caveats when hormone testing is not appropriate. If you are on hormonal birth control, then hormone testing will not be accurate, but FSH levels, the best predictor of how close you are to menopause, will not be affected.

Find yourself a doctor who will test your hormones. Live in Oregon? That could be me!

Like if you agree!

I have always had a sensitive gut, especially when traveling. As a naturopathic doctor, I come prepared!

✈️IB Care-this herbal formula from @bioclinicnaturals_ca contains carminative herbs, which are great for relieving bloating, which can be especially common with flying and pressure changes.

✈️Antacids-we all know these are great for heartburn. I love these tablets from @itswonderbelly because they dont contain any artificial dyes or sweetners and come with some good flavors.

✈️Ginger-the best herb for nausea, which I am prone to with air travel. I especially love these Gin Gins from @the_ginger_people

✈️Herbal bitters-bitter herbs stimulate the release of digestive enzymes and stomach acid to support digestion. This is my go-to before eating any heavy meal. I love this one from @herbpharm

✈️Snacks galore! Skip the airport and airplane food that are usually packed full of salt and other ingredients that mess with your gut. Pack your own!

What are you traveling with?

Today we are making green pasta sauce. This tasy sauce packs 18 grams of fiber for the whole sauce, which means about 4.5 grams per 3 oz serving. This is the perfect recipe if you are looking for a fun Haloween themed dinner idea that the kids will love.

Recipe:
-2 cups frozen peas
-2 cups raw spinach
-Juice from 1/2 a lemon
-1/4 cup parmasean cheese
-1 garlic clove
-Salt & pepper to taste

Directions:
1. Add 2 cups frozen peas to 1/2 cup boiling water. Bring to a boil, then reduce heat to simmer and cook for ~ 5 minutes.
2. Add 2 cups spinach to a bowl. Drain peas over spinach to allow hot water to wilt spinach leaves.
3. Add peas & wilted spinach to a blender.
4. Add lemon juice, garlic, parmasean cheese, & seasonings, and mix well.
5. Cook up your favorite pasta & mix in the green sauce well.
6. Serve & enjoy!

Are you eating enough fiber? Most Americans aren't.

Women should be getting at least 25 grams of fiber daily, while men should be getting closer to 38 grams daily.

Be sure to eat a mix of soluble and insoluble fiber to get all the benefits.

Welcome back to episode 2 of Sneaky Fiber Hacks! I'm showing you easy ways to add more fiber into your diet.

Most of us are under eating fiber. Adult women should be getting at least 25 grams a day, while adult men want to get closer to 38 grams.

Why do we need Fiber? Fiber provides prebiotics, the primary food source for our gut bacteria in our gut microbiome. These bacteria control many aspects of our health, from digestion to immunity to mental health and even hormones.

So follow along if you want to learn more ways to support your gut health.
