As you probably know by now, I’m a little nuts when it comes to health, nutrition, and hormones, including everything from seed cycling to celery juice. I’ll try just about anything once if helps improve my overall wellness. I mean, how else are you going to figure out what works for YOU? I’ve experienced a number of  hormonal challenges  over the years. Ughhhh. After Quinn was born, I played the oral contraceptive “game” in an attempt to find one that didn’t cause breakthrough bleeding, give me acne, and didn’t make me crazy. Eventually, I had enough of the the hormonal rollercoaster and quit the pill all together. I tried seed cycling in an attempt to rebalance my hormones. You can read more about my experience and the protocol that I followed . You’ll find variations of the seed cycling protocol all over Internet, but I really the once mentioned in my post. In the end, seed cycling worked for me until… it didn’t.

Thomas calls Birch “Billy boy” sometimes (a nickname he calls lots of people – I can’t explain it) and so when Birch wears this outfit his name is Buffalo Billy! Happy little Billy! Eats From This Week French toast / peanut butter / bourbon syrup / clementines / coffee Mini chocolate smoothie with granola before a workout. I made it with oats the day before and they soaked up the milk and it was thick like overnight oats! Kind of like a dough boy smoothie.

I’m fortunate enough to have a really nice gym at my office and what seems the best for me is to use my lunch hour to exercise, usually around 11 AM. I am far from what anyone would consider an athlete, but I’ve always enjoyed incorporating lifting weights into my exercise routines, which have been very sporadic over the years. I probably average two times a week of lifting but when I do, I try to push myself and lift heavy. Do you recommend I do this in a fasted state? What about taking BCAA’s beforehand? I see these marketed mainly to
