I need you to know progesterone is a downstream effect. Progesterone doesn't just leave the chat for no reason - there is always something deeper going on. Yes, progesterone supplementation can be life changing for some women, but it's not always THE answer for every single woman.

All hormones respond to inputs. So, what are the inputs that your body has been receiving?

I'm a big believer that your period tells you exactly what is going on with your health. If you've been searching for an answer to your gut health, fatigue, lack of weight loss, and more, the answer lies in the period symptoms that you think "aren't that bad."

I have been actively living out the life that I have always dreamed of. But to get here, I didn't just wake up on day and have it all. There have been daily decisions, standards I've been holding, non-negotiables I live by. And it's not by accident. It's by intention. And by no means am I content. I still have big goals and dreams. In this episode, I give you the entire SOP to my life so you can live the life you've always wanted.

In this episode, I'm talking about the body composition changes that women experience during perimenopause. I am a believer that perimenopause symptom intensity is an expression of what has happened over the last 20 years - chronic dieting, pouring out of an empty cup, lack of nourishment, etc. When I am talking to women in perimenopause about weight loss, we want to start with nourishment in mind (and earn your way into a deficit). The more nourished and supported your body is, the less likely your body will revolt against you.

In this episode of the perimenopause series, I'm talking about how perimenopause symptoms are a report card of what has happened over the last 20 years. The symptoms tell us what has been supported (or not supported) and what needs to happen moving forward. The symptoms point to a deeper issue - which actually nourishing your body and understanding what she is saying to you, will improve your transition experience dramatically.

In this episode series, I am going to dive deep into Perimenopause - what it is, what the symptoms tell us, what is happening in your body, how to support your body, the myths, what is actually true, and what does this transition actually mean. In episode 1, I give you an overview. We talk about how blood sugar and muscle play a role. And I am excited to give you a podcast series that will help so many women. Here we go!

In this episode, Coach Cate dives into the pillars of capacity. Capacity is the maximum amount that something can contain or the amount that something can produce. Some of you have really small capacities, which is why healing seems so hard.
