HONOR YOUR BODY

If you hear “gut health” and immediately think of flat-belly teas or probiotic gummies, you’re not alone. But gut health is so much more than bloating

If you've ever felt like you’re doing everything right—eating balanced meals, getting movement in, trying to manage stress—but still feel tired, foggy, or off… you're not imagining it. As women move through their 30s, 40s, and 50s, our bodies go through major transitions. Hormonal changes, shifting metabolic needs, and evolving lifestyles all mean that our nutrient needs change, too. But most women aren’t told how — or even that — they’re at risk of falling short on key vi

In this blog, we’re going to get curious (not judgmental) about what’s underneath your low energy. We’ll walk through the most common nutrition and lifestyle reasons for fatigue, what to add to your plate to restore energy, and how to work with your body instead of constantly pushing through.

If you’ve found yourself wondering, “What’s wrong with me?” — I want you to know: you’re not broken. Your body is wise. And in midlife, it’s going through a season of change that is deeply normal, even if it feels unfamiliar, uncomfortable, or out of sync with everything diet culture tells you.

If you’ve ever felt like you just can’t stick to a diet… If you’ve blamed yourself for a lack of willpower… If you’ve felt shame after “falling off the wagon” (again)… Let me say it clearly: You are not failing. Your diet did. You’ve been handed a model that’s not built to last. One that disconnects you from your body, your preferences, and your life. One that promises results but leaves you more tired, more confused, and more discouraged. This blog is here to change that.

When labs come back “normal,” that means your numbers fall within a reference range. But here’s what most people (and even providers) don’t explain: Reference ranges are based on averages — not on what’s optimal or ideal. They don’t account for age, sex, hormonal status, or symptoms. So being “in range” doesn’t mean your levels are where your body feels best. You can still feel tired, inflamed, anxious, or off even when your labs don’t flag anything urgent.

Midlife is full of hormonal changes, emotional transitions, and physical adjustments — but no one hands you a manual for pelvic health or intimacy. So let’s change that. In this blog, we’ll talk about: What changes in pelvic health and intimacy during midlife (and why) How to support your pelvic floor with food, movement, and care Why pain or discomfort is common — but not normal or untreatable

Perimenopause is a word many of us didn’t grow up hearing — yet most of us will spend years navigating it. It’s the transition leading up to menopause (which officially is 12 months after your last period), and it can start as early as your mid-to-late 30s and last up to a decade. That’s a long time to feel like something is off — especially when the changes are subtle, confusing, or dismissed by others. In this blog, we’ll break down: What perimenopause actually is (

While yoga is often associated with flexibility and relaxation, yoga therapy takes the practice further, using evidence-based techniques to support physical and emotional healing.

You don’t need a complete lifestyle overhaul. Nervous system support can be gentle, accessible, and integrated into your current routines.

In this blog, we’ll explore how to: Understand the hormonal changes that happen in your 30s, 40s, and 50s Support your body with foods that nourish your hormones Focus on what to add — not what to restrict Build sustainable habits that help you feel more energized, resilient, and balanced Let’s dive into the science (in a kind, practical way) and talk about how food can help you feel like yourself again.

If you’ve ever thought: “I just need to try harder.” “Why can’t I stick to anything?” “Other people can do it — what’s wrong with me?”...

At Honor Your Body, we teach a powerful shift in mindset: 👉 Instead of “What should I take away?” ask, “What can I add?”

Health goals don’t have to be measurable to be meaningful. Some of the most powerful transformations I’ve seen in my clients have nothing to do with numbers — and everything to do with how they feel in their bodies, how they talk to themselves, and how they show up in their daily lives. In this blog post, we’ll unpack: Why measurable goals aren’t always the most effective for lasting change What makes a goal truly meaningful How values-based goals help you build

As we move through our 40s and 50s, it can feel like our bodies are changing in ways no one warned us about. Maybe sex has become painful. Maybe you are running to the bathroom more often. Maybe you are constantly battling dryness, irritation, or even recurrent UTIs. You’re not imagining things—and you’re not alone. This constellation of symptoms is now known as Genitourinary Syndrome of Menopause (GSM), and nearly 50% of women over 50 experience at least one pelvic

The real answer to sustainable energy? It’s about what you add — not what you eliminate. In this post, we’ll cover: Why you feel drained (even when you’re “eating healthy”) What foods support steady energy How to pair meals to stabilize blood sugar Why eating enough matters just as much as what you eat Gentle, flexible ways to feel better — without starting another diet
