MHM has changed the trajectory of my life in the best way. After years of being gaslit by doctors, being told that going on birth control is the only way to regulate my cycles, that strong drugs like doxycyline and acutane were the only ways to fix my acne....I finally found practitioners who understand that getting to the root cause of these issues is the only way to heal them for good. MHM finally gave me the validation and healing I’ve needed for years. Coach Laura and the MHM Team really leaned into what I was experiencing and put together the most personalized protocol I could have ever imagined. I felt heard for the first time ever. When I came into the program I was experiencing irregular cycles (I was getting a period every 2 weeks), anovulation, (in fact I was convinced that my body would never ovulate on its own which gave me fear of my TTC journey in the future), and hormonal acne. I'm graduating from this program with a healthy, regular 26 - 32 day cycle, confirmed ovulation 4 months in a row, and skin that is thanking me for all the healing I've done with my gut by clearing up slowly but surely. I’m also feeling confident, peaceful, and excited for my future TTC journey!
To truly acknowledge the wins from this program, I’ll start out by saying, I treated MHM like it was my 2nd full-time job. I poured heart and soul into getting everything I could out of my time here. I studied each module like I was a student, habit stacked the podcasts while on walks in the sunlight, learned things I never knew about like the gut-brain axis and how that relates to hormonal disregulation, how to eat a blood sugar balancing meal, what to look for on food labels, and how to remain steadfast and confident in my lifestyle changes while the world and many people around me are staying the same and didn’t fully understand why I was making such drastic changes with my life. I’m proud of myself for staying committed to my plan for 5.5+ whole months! And that overlapped with the holidays as well! I proved to myself that it’s always a good time to put my health first and make healthy lifestyle swaps. To heck with new years resolutions! I’ve learned that I can always come back to these resets at any time. I’m excited about the foundations I’ve established and that I will carry with me forever like how to balance my plate, food choices, prioritizing sleep, morning sunlight, clean product swaps, lymph support, healthy boundaries, and self love. I remained consistent with my supplements even while traveling which is a big win as well. I also did a complete 180 on my exercise routine and entirely removed HITT workouts to more of a focus on strength training, yoga, and daily walks. Being a collegiate gymnast I always thought more = more...but when it comes to hormone health and not spiking my cortisol, intentionality + less = more.
Some unexpected wins from the program are that I have gas way less often and when I do it’s way less smelly. I feel less bloated and very clear minded. I also felt very brave from some of the measures I was willing to take in the name of healing like doing coffee enemas and injecting myself with peptides! I could probably write an entire book on all the wins and lifestyle habits I’ve incorporated into my life but I’ll leave this by saying my biggest wins are that I feel empowered, validated, and relieved to a more regulated cycle, ovaries that ovulate, and skin that is healing.
