In this episode, Celest welcomes Nicki Williams, award-winning nutritionist, author, and founder of Happy Hormones for Life. Nicki shares her personal journey through hormonal imbalances and how it inspired her to empower women with education about their health. Together, they delve into two of the "Feisty Four" hormones that have the biggest impact on women's health:

  • Cortisol: Learn how this stress hormone can dominate and disrupt other hormones, why modern life often keeps it elevated, and how simple "cave time" practices—like yoga, walks in nature, or even just quiet moments—can help restore balance.

  • Insulin: Discover its role as the body's blood sugar regulator and fat-storing hormone, why keeping blood sugar balanced is crucial for energy and mood, and how the first meal of the day can set the tone for stable blood sugar levels.

Nicki provides actionable tips for managing stress and blood sugar, empowering listeners to take control of their health.
