Most women don’t realize this:
Your gut directly controls your hormones.

Not in a vague “everything is connected” way…
but through very specific biological mechanisms.

Here’s what I see looking at some microbiome test:

H. pylori → Low stomach acid → Low hormones**
This bacteria reduces stomach acid, which means you don’t properly break down protein or absorb minerals like zinc and iron.

Zinc = required for testosterone production
Amino acids = building blocks for all hormones

No absorption = no hormone production.

Parasites → Chronic stress response → Hormone suppression**
When something like *Blastocystis* is present, your immune system is constantly activated.

Your body shifts into survival mode:
prioritizes cortisol
down-regulates estrogen, progesterone, testosterone

Because reproduction is not a priority during “threat.”

Dysbiosis → Toxin load → Hormone disruption**
Overgrowth of certain bacteria produces endotoxins.

These:
increase inflammation
burden the liver
interfere with hormone signaling

Your body literally gets “noisy signals” hormonally.

Low gut immunity (low IgA) → Ongoing infections → burnout pattern**
If your gut immune system is weak, infections don’t clear.

That creates:
chronic low-grade stress
lower cortisol output over time
reduced DHEA and testosterone

This is why so many women feel:
– tired
– flat
– unmotivated
– hormonally “off”

…even when they’re doing everything right.

Because it’s not just hormones. It’s the system behind them.

If you’ve tried to “fix your hormones” and nothing sticks,
this might be the missing piece.

Message me “GUT” and I’ll help you figure out what’s really going on.

Information importante – Budget 25-26 et Loi 99

Chers clients,

Suite aux récentes annonces gouvernementales, plusieurs d’entre vous se demandent si cela pourrait affecter le remboursement d’assurance pour vos consultations.

Soyez rassurés : vos reçus pour remboursement d’assurance demeurent valides.
Vous pouvez continuer à les soumettre à votre assureur, selon la couverture prévue par votre police d’assurance.

Cette mesure ne concerne pas ma pratique.
Votre accompagnement, mes services et la reconnaissance de vos reçus par les assurances ne changent pas.

Ce que la loi modifie concerne uniquement les déductions fiscales dans les déclarations d’impôts. Autrement dit, il ne sera plus possible de réclamer ce type de soins comme crédit ou déduction d’impôt.

En résumé :
• Vos remboursements d’assurance restent inchangés.
• Ma pratique continue comme avant.
• Seule la possibilité de déduire ces frais dans vos impôts est retirée.

Merci de votre confiance 🌿

Aujourd’hui, j’ai accompagné une cliente en période de périménopause.
Les changements hormonaux à cette étape de vie peuvent être déstabilisants, mais il existe des solutions naturelles pour retrouver équilibre et vitalité.

Comment ça se passe avec moi ?
Lors de notre première rencontre, nous prenons le temps d’explorer ensemble :
🌱 votre histoire de santé
🌱 vos symptômes actuels
🌱 votre sommeil, votre niveau d’énergie, votre stress
🌱 vos habitudes de vie et vos médicaments si vous en prenez

À partir de là, je crée pour vous un protocole personnalisé qui combine alimentation, hygiène de vie et soutien naturel.

Un mois plus t**d, nous faisons un suivi pour voir vos progrès et ajuster si nécessaire.

💫 Mon objectif : vous aider à traverser cette période avec plus de sérénité, d’énergie et de bien-être.

What does a functional nutritionist do?

Functional nutritionists work with a whole-body approach to nutrition and health. They consider your health goals, medical history, diet, lifestyle, personal biochemistry, and even genetic factors.

Depending on your unique needs, licensed functional nutritionists may request lab testing to help them create a highly personalized functional nutrition plan for you.

Note: functional nutritionists do not prescribe medication and cannot diagnose you for medical conditions.

A functional nutritionist can help with:

Digestive system and gut health issues
Nutritional deficiencies
Nutrient absorption issues
Weight loss
Food sensitivities or allergies
Chronic fatigue and low energy
Inflammation or an immune system imbalance
Disordered eating
Autoimmune conditions like Irritable bowel syndrome (IBS), Crohn's disease, Celiac disease, psoriasis, and more
Chronic diseases like type 2 diabetes, arthritis, thyroid issues, and hypertension
Side effects of meds
Emotional eating to cope with anxiety, stress, depression, and more...

Currently studing iodine.It is possible to do 24h iodine urine test. I have tested mine and i was way way below normal. Maybe that would explain under active thyroid, fibrocystic breast etc..That's why functional testing is so important when trying to find the root cause.

WHY DO WE NEED MORE IODINE NOW THAN PEOPLE DID 100 YEARS AGO?

Our food supply is remarkably deficient in iodine due, in part, to low salt intake.

The ingestion of brominated (instead of iodinated) bakery products leads to toxic levels of bromine in the vast majority of our population. Furthermore, brominated flour worsens an iodine-deficient condition.

Our continued exposure to brominated flame ret**dants in computers, furniture, clothing, bedding, and other common consumer materials.

Fluoridation of our water supply. Fluoridation is bound to worsen an iodine deficient problem by supplying a toxic halide on a continual basis.

The use of pesticides and insecticides for lawn care which contain toxic halides such as bromine and chlorine derivatives.

The use of many medications that contain bromine or fluorine as part of their chemical structure. A list of some of the brominated and fluoridated drugs is shown In Chapter 11.
The connection between iodine deficiency and breast cancer as well as fibrocystic breast disease is strong and recent research is making this connection stronger. Breast cancer (like prostate cancer) is occurring at epidemic rates—currently one in seven women are afflicted. Prostate cancer affects one in three men. Although there are numerous reasons for the development of cancer, the research is clear; iodine deficiency is a major piece of the puzzle. Iodine deficiency has also been associated with other cancers including ovarian, uterine, and thyroid cancer. Perhaps the reason we have made so little progress in our treatment of nearly all of the hormone-sensitive cancers is that the underlying cause has been overlooked. This underlying cause could very well be iodine deficiency. It is imperative to have your iodine level checked and supplemented with the correct form of iodine when there is iodine deficiency identified. I feel iodine status should be investigated in all cancer patients. The best results with iodine therapy occur when iodine supplementation is given as part of an anti-cancer program.
