Holistic Hormone Podcast with Eleanor Duelley

Why Peptides May Be the Missing Link in Menopause Weight

Mon, 29 Sep 2025 06:14:51 GMT

So many women in midlife tell me: “I’m eating healthy, exercising, even on HRT—so why am I still gaining weight?” The truth is, menopause weight isn’t just about hormones. It’s about metabolism, insulin, and how your body is handling food.

In this episode, I break down:

Hormones & weight basics—why estrogen loss shifts insulin sensitivity and drives belly fat.
How GLP-1 peptides work—curbing appetite, smoothing blood sugar, and retraining fat storage.
Why peptides are protective—from lowering inflammation and belly fat to supporting the brain, heart, and gut.
Access & safety—what to know about prescription-grade compounded peptides.

I also share my own story with peptides, why they’ve been transformational, and how I help women use them to finally break free of the midlife weight cycle.

Menopause weight is not your fault, and it’s not inevitable. Peptides may be the missing piece you’ve been looking for—helping you feel lighter, stronger, and more resilient in this next season of life.

The Hidden Connection Between Digestion, Estrogen, and Cortisol (Part 2)

Mon, 08 Sep 2025 11:00:18 GMT

This episode focuses on cortisol and why digestion plays such a critical role in building and balancing it. We’ll cover the nutrients required, why supplements alone may not solve the problem, and how poor absorption can mimic deficiency even when intake looks adequate. You’ll leave with practical steps to strengthen digestion and support your stress response.

Estrogen & Digestion—The Hidden Link to PMS, Mood, and Energy

Wed, 27 Aug 2025 11:00:22 GMT

When women say “my hormones are all over the place,” they often think their body is broken or making too much estrogen. But the real issue usually isn’t production — it’s detox. In this episode, I reveal how digestion drives estrogen detox and why symptoms like PMS, fatigue, mood swings, and breast tenderness often come from poor clearance, not faulty hormones. You’ll learn the three phases of estrogen detox, how constipation and sluggish digestion recycle estrogen back into your body, and why nutrients from food (and not just supplements) are the real key to hormone balance.

Why Functional Bloodwork is a Gamechanger in Your 40s and 50s

Mon, 18 Aug 2025 10:00:21 GMT

If you’ve been told your iron, cholesterol, blood sugar, or liver labs look “fine” but you still feel exhausted, foggy, or stuck—this episode will show you why. Conventional testing only screens for disease, missing the functional ranges that reveal early imbalances and hidden stress on the body.

I’ll walk you through how I understand iron panels to catch low storage or inflammation, why rising LDL can be a normal hormone shift, the blood sugar markers that uncover early insulin resistance, and the subtle lab clues that point to sluggish detox. These numbers tell a story—when you know how to apply them to the whole picture.

You’ll learn how functional bloodwork connects symptoms with what’s happening inside your body, so you can stop wondering what’s wrong and start moving toward real solutions.

You’re Not Crazy—Your Labs Are Just Incomplete

Sun, 03 Aug 2025 23:30:10 GMT

Ever been told your labs look “normal” while your body screams otherwise? This episode explains why.

I’m pulling back the curtain on what most conventional doctors miss—especially for women in their 40s and 50s. You’ll see why typical lab work often stops at disease diagnosis, while functional testing goes deeper, into the imbalances driving your symptoms.

We’ll talk about the difference between range and optimal, why normal isn’t always healthy, and how I read labs with a different lens—one that connects fatigue, mood shifts, and stubborn weight to real data.

You’ll hear stories from my practice:

The woman with crushing fatigue and “normal” iron, but a ferritin of 12
The one with constant bloating and perfect CBCs—until we read between the lines

I’ll walk through the blood panel I use with every client, and how each result informs the strategy behind gut repair, hormone balance, and real recovery.

This episode is your starting point. Before another provider shrugs at your labs... take a listen.

Why are my labs normal? - Holistic Thyroid Series (Part 2)

Mon, 02 Sep 2024 03:33:29 GMT

In this episode of the Holistic Hormone Podcast, we explore why traditional thyroid testing often falls short of providing a complete picture of thyroid health. Many people find their TSH and T4 levels are "normal," yet they still experience symptoms like fatigue and brain fog. We discuss how focusing solely on these tests can overlook crucial factors like the conversion of T4 to the active hormone T3 and the role of the liver in this process. Additionally, we examine why the conventional medical model is reluctant to order comprehensive thyroid panels, including T3, free T3, reverse T3, and thyroid antibodies. These additional tests are vital for uncovering autoimmune thyroid conditions and understanding the body's overall hormonal balance. By considering these aspects, we can address the root causes of thyroid imbalances rather than just managing symptoms with medication. Join us as we dive into the limitations of standard testing and set the stage for holistic strategies to support thyroid health in the next episode.

Things I have learned so far this summer.....

Tue, 18 Jul 2023 16:00:00 GMT

Hey everyone, i wanted to take a few minutes to jump back onto my microphone to invite you to an amazing opportunity i have for you this month!

And it’s free!!

I created the 28 day Hormone Reset Challenge because I needed something to keep me accountable and on track during the last few weeks of summer.

You see......I would often get gung-ho on a workout plan, new diet, meal plan, or “system” that would keep me going for a few weeks, and inevitably, I would have an unshakable interruption in my life, whether it’s a vacation, girls weekend, or a few nights out, I would be thrown off of my routine, and thrust into the nebulous of, “i can figure this out for myself and don’t really need a plan anymore…. Besides… it’s … insert the excuse…

summer.... vacation..... my period..... anything to give me an "out" from doing the healthy track that felt hard and uncomfortable.But.... I have created the comfortable challenge.... that will actually move the needle for you on that stubborn weight gain, low energy, headaches, and period pains.....Join our community now! You get meal plans, you get a structured daily guideline checklist , and all the coaching and support you need to be successful.Facebook group: https://www.facebook.com/groups/28dayhormoneresetRegistration link: https://view.flodesk.com/pages/64931a46b986f2d548485ffe

Managing My Migraines... Probably Not What You Think

Mon, 01 May 2023 05:00:00 GMT

Migraines can be debilitating.Mine were awful. I had no idea that it wasn't a problem in my head.... It was an imbalance in my brain caused by my liver.I would have never known this if I hadn't done testing on my hormones. It isn't something that my doctors were able to help with, or even pain killers.If you don't treat the root of the imbalance, the problem will never go away. You won't heal.... you just kick the can down the hill (in essence), for your body to create another imbalance.This is the reason why our bodies get so far from operating optimally. This is the reason there is DISEASE. Listen today to learn about how you can interpret WHY you have symptoms such as migraines, apathy, exhaustion, anxiety, and period problems.When you know the why.... I can help you figure out the HOW.Mentioned in the episode:The Oura Ring

Breaking the People-Pleasing Cycle

Mon, 24 Apr 2023 05:00:00 GMT

Breaking the People-Pleasing Cycle: How Saying 'Yes' Too Often Can Lead to BurnoutToday on the NNPodcast, I have invited a guest who has a different perspective on burn out and people pleasing, her name is Brigette Sobus. She is also a two time breast cancer warrior who has helped many women take back their health and focus on what is important for personal growth and healing restoration.

I think it is so important to point out that if you are anything like me, you like to make people around you happy, whether that is friends, kids, spouse, or parents. It is in our nature to crave feelings of acceptance, validation, and accomplishment.

On today's podcast, Brigette shares her inspiring story based on her struggles with her health, career, and family life and how putting herself first was the key factor in turning it all around.For more information about Brigette Sobus: Website: powerandjoycoachingacademy.comFB: https://www.facebook.com/powerandjoycoachingacademyInstagram: @coachbrigettesobusLinkedin: https://www.linkedin.com/in/brigettesobus/

MULTIPLY your energy by doing THIS.

Mon, 17 Apr 2023 05:00:00 GMT

If you find yourself in situations where you are wishing that you had the energy to start, or complete things in your every day life that you KNOW would benefit you so much, but just can't seem to do them.... It might be time to re evaluate the time and energy that you do have. Wouldn't it be nice if you could expand, or multiply it?In this podcast, I show you how you can do this in your life, and how it works in mine. Taking the time and energy that you already are using, cleaning up your priorities, and shifting your perspective might be all that it takes to get you pointed in the right direction.Stop shoulding all over yourself, and start looking at what is right in front of you.What does this have to do with hormones? Well, we can't get from point A to point B simply by wishing we were at point B. It's all the stuff in the middle that gets us hung up and feeling stuck. Listen to how I was able to dismantle the fear, procrastination, and low energy, by finding my multiplier.

Tap into the power of your cycle | It's not just about your period

Thu, 06 Apr 2023 16:00:00 GMT

When I was growing up, I was briefly told that I would get my period about once a month and to prepare for the worst. THAT WAS IT.No talk about hormones, cycles, or my body. It wasn't until much later (about 30 years later) that I learned that a woman's body has a second rhythm (besides the circadian) that repeats every 28 days (give or take).The power in this info is astounding. In this episode, I detail how I came about this information and how I was able to apply it into my life to help me tap into my own feminine power, and how you can do it too.I reference DUTCH testing in this podcast and talk about the most effective way to get answers quickly about your hormones and your body is to get the data to see what is going on. With data, you have power. Check out the Hormone Happiness Project for more information on this program.

Reducing Stress Might Not Be What You Think

Mon, 03 Apr 2023 05:00:00 GMT

We understand how stressful our lives can be with relationships, finances, social situations, etc. What we aren't taking into account are these kinds of stressors…

The actions and routines we have everyday that impact how our body functions. The food we eat, the air we breathe, the products we use…. and ALSO the restorative practices we incorporate, the over-exercise/fad diet trends that crush our hormones balance.

😳

Oh yeah, those ones.

This type of stress is generally not talked about much amongst our friends and family, and certainly not addressed when. you are sitting in your doctors office asking why you don't feel like yourself anymore.

😩😩😩😩😩

Listen to this weeks' podcast to get a better understanding of stressors that are actually IN your control.

Is Your Shampoo Making You Sick? What true detox really means...

Mon, 27 Mar 2023 05:00:00 GMT

I honestly had no idea that the products I was using were really that bad for me…. I was a pretty “clean” girl, and would buy things that were labeled “non-toxic”, and then move on with my day.

I really didn't have the time or energy to sit and research every single thing, or if it wasn't available for easy pickup from my local Walmart or Trader Joes, I really couldn't be bothered.

Then, I started getting sick. Not like coughing all the time, but just feeling super blah….

🤕 I was having morning wake-up headaches.

🧴 I was having super itchy skin.

🤷🏻‍♀️ I often could not concentrate or was super forgetful

I just chalked it up to getting older, being busy, and having 3 kids. Then I started really reading the labels of the products I was using. I realized that I was coming into contact with almost 80 different products EVERYDAY.

What I discovered was ASTOUNDING. Listen to this week's podcast to hear about what I found out, how I fixed it in my own life, and how I want to help you clean up your act, too!

Why we find comfort in toxicity.

Mon, 27 Feb 2023 06:00:00 GMT

In this episode, I explore some vulnerable realizations with making choices in my life.Why do we feel comfort in things that harm us? The reason is the familiar is less scary than the unknown. In this episode I dig deep into the reasons why we stay engaged in behaviors that don't serve us, even when we know they are harming us. We were given our intuition to help guide us to make the best decisions for our body, but we have been trained to tune it out, or ignore it, to override it with rational thought. Is this really the best way to make decisions?Listen as I open up about recent choices I was forced with making about my nutrition and business.

How I knew I had Gut Issues

Mon, 06 Feb 2023 06:00:00 GMT

Your gut is completely unique! From the moment you were born, your body has been exposed to a unique set of bacterias that are used to protect you, nourish you, and help you thrive. There are myriad influences on the state of functionality of your gut, such as the way you were birthed (vaginal or c-section), genetic history, places you have traveled, and what you have been exposed to… but there are OTHER unique factors you might not realize that are affecting you as well, such as stress and diet. When your gut functions without issues, there’s a good balance of bacteria helping your body process and get energy from the foods you eat, clear toxins, fight against disease, and boost your mood. When your gut runs into problems, you start experiencing symptoms like diarrhea, constipation, loose stools, gas, bloating, and abdominal pain.

So how do we know there is something up? I’m going to review the top ten signals that your gut tells you. One or many of these symptoms should clue you in, that your gut needs more support than it is currently getting, in order to get back to homeostasis.⭐️ Sign up for the free live (zoom) class: Love Your Guts | How to naturally ease acne, acid reflux, bloating, food allergies, and constipation. 🚨 New Program Alert!! ‼️ Check out the 21 Day Gut Healing Challenge ‼️A unique approach to your unique gut.

Activation of My Nervous System | Reasons why and what to do

Mon, 23 Jan 2023 06:00:00 GMT

Stress activates our nervous system, and it is defined as a stimulus that causes the brain to feel threatened in some way. When the brain senses this imbalance of safety, it manages it with a hormonal response, which is trying to make you feel safe again. This is a natural rhythm that works for our bodies that are designed to handle stress and normal for the body to experience throughout a typical day.

Where things go off the rails is when there is a constant sense of threat / stimulus (all the same or many different), and there is no retreat from the threat for the brain to rest, repair, and recover. You can even sleep in a heightened stress state.

Today I want to dive into a different concept about feeling safe that I have recently adopted and touched on in episode: 17.

I am going to discuss one way where I have managed to break apart my stressors and triggers, how I have coped, what has worked for me and how I plan to continue setting these kinds of boundaries in the future.

Are You Tired of Being Hormonal?

Mon, 16 Jan 2023 06:00:00 GMT

Are you tired of being hormonal?It seems like a question that we can all identify with.... because of the ways that we operate in our daily lives. In this episode, I breakdown the 6 areas in which our hormones are influenced, and how to improve the impact that they make.Stress- how your body copes and why this affects dieting and body fatDiet Culture- the unintended affects of calorie/macro counting and the ways in which it damages the production of feel-good hormonesExercise Culture- Similar to dieting, the culture of intense pushing and grinding it out has worn away the protective barriers for our hormone and gut healthMedications- Often medications are unnecessary and only prescribed as a bandaid to symptoms and does not address the root cause of the symptom Supplements - Helpful tools in recovering hormone healthInflammation / Infections- Unknown sources of inflammation, infection, and injury zap our energy and monopolize our hormones. Get a clear understanding of how to figure out if you have this.Pulling all of these together can be overwhelming if you don't know where to start. I lay out for you the plan of action and how women have been changing the narrative on hormone health and taking action for advocacy.

This is the time of year where we all start to rethink our daily patterns, lifestyle choices, and things we want to change. I know for me, I have given up on New Year Resolutions many years ago.

In this episode, I talk about:

What is productivity guilt?
My triggers for anxiety
How I established boundaries to rebalance my stress response
Steps that I take to feel more in control of my emotions and reactions
The reasons why we are doing things that drain us

Setting boundaries is how you take back control of your life, regulate your nervous system, and stay in tune with your body and your hormones. Well, this and the hormone happiness project! Jump into the next round to get answers about your own body and get the testing that is truly changing the lives of so many women who know they have hormone imbalances, they just don’t know where to start.

A Vulnerable Look Behind the Curtain of a Nutritionist

Mon, 26 Dec 2022 06:00:00 GMT

When I was a student in Nutrition school, I was all about the nutrients in food, the vitamins, minerals and processes of the body. I started thinking that living a healthy life must be all about the food. The more I learned about the body, the more I began to realize that there is much more to our physiology than just the food. Like, alot more! By this time in my life, having had 3 kids, changing career choice, and trying to hold it all together, I had tried every diet out there to find my ideal weight and feel my best. I counted calories on a spreadsheet (which graduated to food tracking apps), I had tried elimination diets, became a body pump instructor, personal trainer, I did all of the things, but I never really felt like I was moving the needle with my health.

Eating well, sleeping well and working out alot did not seem to help me with my migraines.
Drinking loads of water didn't seem to make much difference with my constipation struggles
Working out every day didn’t seem to make much of a difference with my belly fat
Having a solid night time routine and drinking herbal tea before bed did not seem to help that 2-4am insomnia that plagued me every single freaking night.

Find out more about my journey and the very real things I had to face in order to really start healing. The good, the bad, and the ugly.Sign up for the (totally free) webinar on January 11 to talk about the upcoming Hormone Happiness Project on January 23, 2023.

Mon, 12 Dec 2022 06:00:00 GMT

This week on the podcast I take a deeper dive into why the nutrients in your food are important for feeling better and having more energy. We all know that junk food can take it's toll on our blood sugar and wear us out, but what can we do in our daily lives to make sure we get the nutrients we need?

I also touch on:

Why hydration is not just about drinking water
Why the term adrenal fatigue is inaccurate
Why we need cortisol throughout the day, the amount is what gets us all jacked up
A list of foods that support the making of your hormones, so your body doesn't have to resort to Plan B (hint- you HATE plan B).

Too Much Acid Causing Your Reflux? Probably not.

Mon, 05 Dec 2022 06:00:00 GMT

The American College of Gastroenterology estimates that over 60 million Americans experience acid reflux at least once per month, and over 15 million experience acid reflux symptoms every day.

Acid reflux is not very well understood by most people. This is apparent when you think about the commercials that address the symptoms and what the medication they are offering actually does in the body. Today I want to dive into what the symptoms of acid reflux are, how you know if you have it, how to test yourself and ways you can rebalance your stomach acid without medications.

Get some ideas on how you can handle acid reflux if it happens to you.

How to Not Have a Mental Breakdown During the Holidays

Mon, 31 Oct 2022 17:00:00 GMT

Last year, I had a really busy season during the holidays and the more I piled on, the more I felt depleted. I just could never seem to catch my breath. This culminated to a minor nervous breakdown the day after Christmas, with full blown flu-like symptoms to boot.

It was too much.

I was giving to everyone, except myself.

With the help of my husband, therapist and close friends, I was able to pull back a little bit and get some perspective on what went so terribly wrong. Here is what I found:

I would have a burst of energy and say “yes” to things I normally would opt out of… (highly interactive social events, picking up extra errands to help out others, taking on more clients, etc)
I would feel guilty or sad if I said no, or “inconvenienced” anyone because of my answer.
Had loosey-goosey boundaries around my time and energy, clearing sending a message that I was available to anyone and everyone at a moments notice.

Listen to the podcast to find out what I learned and how I am much better equipped this year.

When blood work looks fine, but you're not.

Mon, 10 Oct 2022 04:00:00 GMT

We've all felt that let down feeling when the doctor determines that there is "nothing wrong with" us, and any complaints are just that, complaints. That sucks. Really, really bad. I am here to let you know that you don't have to settle with that answer. Not only is it not accurate, it is disempowering and to me, that is way worse. Getting accurate, affordable testing is one of the cornerstones of my business. I want all women to have the opportunity to see for themselves what is going on with their hormones and how to live a life that they enjoy and that supports them.If you would like to set up a free 15 min chat with me to see if functional testing is a good fit for you, sign up here: See my calendarThe Nourishing Nutrition Podcast is sponsored by the Hormone Happiness Project.

Testing to Change Your Life

Mon, 18 Jul 2022 04:00:00 GMT

In this episode of the Nourishing Nutrition Podcast, we get into the nitty gritty about what kind of functional testing I use in my practice, and why it is so effective!!

Women have a really hard time quantifying their stress levels, because it is normalized to be very stressed. It is applauded and encouraged. Getting less sleep because you were up late baking cupcakes for suzy’s birthday party receives a badge of honor. Sacrificing your health for someone else’s needs is so admirable in today's world. Until it’s not.

When you get DUTCH testing results in balck and white on paper in front of you that say: “you are so stressed that your body has actually deactivated the cortisol it is making for you because it is now becoming destructive in your body” you might start thinking about things a little differently.

Would I have believed that if a doctor told me that I was too stressed? Nope.

Would I have believed that if a friend or spouse or parent told me that I was too stressed? Nope.

Is there any other way I would have actually accepted this information as fact? Not one I can think of…..

So this leaves me with the idea of getting testing to measure stressors that contribute to my weight gain is GOLDEN information.

It cannot be disputed.
It cannot be shrugged off as me overreacting.
It cannot be down-regulated to not being “that bad”.

Is Adrenal Fatigue Real? A Nutritionist's Opinion

Mon, 04 Jul 2022 04:00:00 GMT

Adrenal Fatigue is it real? Why is there so much controversy over this?

This is a term that has been thrown around since 1998. This term was invented by a chiropractor named James Wilson and applied to a collection of non-specific symptoms. There is no scientific evidence supporting the concept of adrenal fatigue and it is not recognized as a diagnosis by the scientific or medical communities.

Sounds pretty straightforward to me. So what is all the hype about?

Maybe the term is a bit misleading, and the syndrome is perhaps mislabeled, but there is definitely something going on with the adrenals, stress and fatigue.

In this episode, I will lay out the basics of what is happening with your hormones and show you how to prevent burn out.

The Carb Dilemma

Mon, 27 Jun 2022 04:00:00 GMT

Ah yes, carbohydrates. Many people love them, many people hate them, many people hate to love them. So which is it? Today we are going to dive into the history of low fat and low carb diets and I am going to explain what the real deal is about how we view carbs in our daily diet and why it is important.

Many people are confused about carbohydrates, and for good reason. We have been told by the media for years that a low carb lifestyle is healthier and will help us achieve the media’s ultimate display of health, a skinny body.

But is a low carb lifestyle really the healthiest way to live?

The Inflammation Situation

Mon, 13 Jun 2022 04:00:00 GMT

Do you have inflammation in your body?

You probably do if you feel fatigue, have headaches, joint pain, arthritis or asthma.

Inflammation is the body’s immune system response to a toxic irritant. Your body is designed to defend itself and keep you safe and alive, so when things like infection, injury or disruptors come along, your body senses something isn’t right and jumps into action to stop the disruption.

Take a listen to ways you can reduce your inflammation with quick easy tweaks to your everyday life.

Diet Culture is lying to you.

Mon, 20 Jun 2022 04:00:00 GMT

Why do we think eating less and working out more will help us lose weight?

This episode goes deep into the generational beliefs of outdated and damaging dieting advice that has not only proved to be ineffective at long-term weight loss, but has created many issues with hormone, endocrine, and mental health.

“Diet culture refers to a rigid set of expectations about valuing thinness and attractiveness over physical health and emotional well-being. Diet culture often emphasizes “good” versus “bad” foods, focuses on calorie restriction, and normalizes self-deprecating talk. Diet culture is toxic, and it can be a risk factor for body dysmorphia, disordered eating, and other mental health issues.”
