Erin Thole, CNHP - Functional Health Practitioner.

Your hormone symptoms may actually be your gut waving a giant red flag.

Most women think gut problems mean bloating, constipation, or stomach pain.

Not true.

Your gut influences:

• Estrogen metabolism
• Progesterone balance
• Cortisol and stress resilience
• Inflammation levels
• Nutrient absorption
• Neurotransmitters like serotonin and dopamine
• Blood sugar regulation

So when you tell me:

“I’ve gained weight and nothing works.”
“My PMS is awful.”
“I wake up at 3 AM.”
“My anxiety is worse in perimenopause.”

I don’t just ask about hormones.

I investigate your entire system.

This is what I do differently.

I connect the dots between functional labs, gut health, inflammation, metabolism, nervous system regulation, and hormones to uncover WHY your body is struggling—not just what symptom to suppress.

You don’t have separate gut symptoms and hormone symptoms. You have a body telling one interconnected story—and my job is to investigate it.

I help women finally stop fighting their bodies and start understanding them by addressing the root cause so that:

They have more energy.
They sleep better.
Their moods stabilize.
Their hormones become more balanced.

They stop obsessing over every symptom and start trusting their body again.

You don’t need to become your own doctor and spend years researching, piecing together conflicting advice, and wondering why nothing works.

I take away the guesswork and help you uncover what’s actually driving your symptoms so you can heal with a clear plan and confidence.

Comment CONSULT if you’re ready to uncover what’s really behind your hormone symptoms.

You shouldn’t have to become your own doctor just to feel better.

You shouldn’t have to spend hours researching symptoms, listening to conflicting advice, ordering random supplements, or trying to piece together a puzzle that nobody has explained to you.

That’s the headache I help take away.

Symptoms are signals! The body’s way of communicating with you. Yeah, it’s annoying as hell. But it all means something.

The PMS
The weight gain despite doing everything “right.”
The 1-3 a.m. wake-ups.
The anxiety that suddenly appeared in perimenopause.
The fatigue and brain fog.

These aren’t isolated issues and your hormones are only one chapter of the story.

I connect the dots between your gut, hormones, nervous system, metabolism, and lifestyle so you finally understand why you feel the way you do AND give you the tools to fix it!

When we uncover the root cause, healing becomes a whole lot clearer.

You don’t have to figure this out alone anymore.

Comment CONSULT if you’re ready for answers and want to explore working with me.

You’ve been told it’s just perimenopause.

That the weight gain, brain fog, exhaustion, mood swings, poor sleep, anxiety, and bloating are simply part of getting older.

So you try the supplements.
The hormones.
The diets.
The quick fixes.

Yet you still don’t feel like yourself.

Here’s what I’ve discovered after helping women with complex health cases for years:

The symptoms aren’t the problem. They’re clues.

Your body is constantly communicating with you through inflammation, digestion, energy, hormones, mood, metabolism, and sleep. When we stop chasing symptoms and start following the breadcrumbs, the real story begins to unfold.

I’ve seen women finally get answers after uncovering hidden gut infections, microbiome imbalances, impaired hormone detoxification pathways, chronic inflammation, blood sugar dysfunction, nutrient deficiencies, and nervous system dysregulation that had been driving their symptoms for years.

This is why I don’t guess.

I investigate. I run the Functional lab work.

I connect the dots others miss.

Because when you identify the root cause, everything gets BETTER.

More energy.
Better sleep.
Balanced moods.

A body that responds again.

And most importantly, feeling like YOU again.

You deserve more than symptom management.

Comment CONSULT and let’s uncover what’s really driving your symptoms so you can thrive through perimenopause and beyond.

My 35+ ladies! I feel you. I hear you. I know it’s hard.

I’m here for you. Those symptoms that creeped in overnight even though you didn’t change anything about your lifestyle…. WTF, right???

So then you’re online searching for the best supplements for perimenopause when what you really need to be doing in looking at the ecosystem of your gut and the health of your liver - where your s*x hormones (progesterone, estrogen and testosterone) are made into their active forms.

Basic lab work your doctor runs is not going to help you here. Sorry. You need a functional practitioner who knows how to connect the dots between gut ecosystem, liver stagnation, metabolic function and inflammation levels. Not a recommendation for an anti anxiety med or some birth control and to be told this is a “normal part of aging.” Rude.

“But I don’t have digestive issues. It’s not my gut.” Oh but you do! Your seemingly overnight hormonal shifts and nagging symptoms ARE your gut symptom!

I help women connect the dots and come out on the other side feeling like a million bucks every day. I can do that for you too.

My kids have been having a blast at Spring Creek Athletics summer camp. By Thursday morning they need a little extra time to sleep in.

So instead of our regular routine of get up and out the door to the gym (Redefined Fitness LLC) I have been getting in dumbbell and body weight workouts in in the garage.

The change of pace has actually been quite nice. A slower morning. Listening to and watching the birds from the garage while@I get in a quick warm up.(Somehow I’ve become obsessed with the birds lately. Not sure what that’s about.)

Yeah, the workout is shorter.
Yeah, I don’t have anywhere near the amount of equipment the gym has.

But ya know…. Sometimes slowing down instead of pushing hard 24/7 is what you need to gain some perspective, ground yourself and balance your nervous system when you feel like everything has been going 100 miles a minute for far too long.

I did this workout, including warm up and a little hip stretch at the end in 30 minutes:

10 rounds
12 DB thrusters
20 mountain climbers

Then….

3 rounds
10 V ups
10 hammer curls

What are you doing to slow down a bit this summer?
