00:00:02.879 --> 00:00:08.400
This is Simply Healthy Hormones, the podcast for women whose bodies stopped cooperating after 35.
00:00:08.560 --> 00:00:10.480
Hormone Health minus the bullshit.
00:00:10.560 --> 00:00:16.960
I'm Casey Kane, integrative health practitioner, holistic nutritionist, and the person you call when your labs are normal, but you're not.
00:00:17.120 --> 00:00:27.280
With multiple certifications in integrative health, nutrition, and a master's in psychology, I help high-functioning women figure out what's actually going on in their bodies, and then I trust them to do something with it.
00:00:27.519 --> 00:00:31.519
No restrictive rules, no supplement spirals, no taking your coffee away.
00:00:31.760 --> 00:00:37.200
Just the real science of what's happening to you, explained like you're the smart, capable, grown-ass woman you actually are.
00:00:37.359 --> 00:00:38.640
I'm glad you're here.
00:00:42.880 --> 00:00:51.280
For the last few weeks, I've been building an arc on this podcast about the way women get failed by both conventional and functional medicine and what a third way actually looks like.
00:00:51.439 --> 00:00:58.560
If you missed those episodes, you can absolutely come back to them, episodes eight, nine, and ten, but you don't need to have heard them to get value from what I'm about to tell you today.
00:00:58.719 --> 00:01:00.799
Welcome back to the Simply Healthy Hormones Podcast.
00:01:00.880 --> 00:01:01.920
I am so glad you're here.
00:01:02.079 --> 00:01:04.480
Today is going to be a really awesome episode.
00:01:04.719 --> 00:01:21.040
I want to tell you about something that I've been building for the last couple of months, something I'm putting on live in about a week and a half, and something that if you've been listening to this podcast or following me on Instagram and thinking, this is the way I want to think about my health, but I don't know how to actually apply it to me.
00:01:21.280 --> 00:01:24.719
I am building this thing specifically for you.
00:01:25.040 --> 00:01:26.159
It's going to be amazing.
00:01:26.319 --> 00:01:28.079
It's called the Hormone Blind Spot.
00:01:28.159 --> 00:01:29.599
It's a live masterclass.
00:01:29.680 --> 00:01:32.319
And today's episode is essentially a preview of that.
00:01:32.480 --> 00:01:45.680
I want you to walk out of this episode understanding what the blind spot is, why it's the reason nothing you've tried has fully worked, and why I think this is the class you need to be in on Monday, September 21st at 6:30 p.m.
00:01:45.840 --> 00:01:46.239
Eastern.
00:01:46.400 --> 00:01:47.040
Let's get into it.
00:01:47.200 --> 00:01:52.159
I want to start today by describing something, and I want you to notice if any of it lands.
00:01:52.400 --> 00:01:55.680
You've been dealing with something in your body for a while, maybe years.
00:01:55.840 --> 00:01:58.959
It didn't start yesterday, is basically what I'm getting at.
00:01:59.120 --> 00:02:01.840
And it hasn't gone away no matter what you've tried.
00:02:02.079 --> 00:02:04.239
Maybe your cycle isn't what it used to be.
00:02:04.400 --> 00:02:09.039
Maybe it's disappeared or gotten unpredictable or become brutal the week before you get it.
00:02:09.199 --> 00:02:15.039
Maybe your energy is nothing like it was five years ago and you've been quietly waiting for it to come back on its own.
00:02:15.280 --> 00:02:18.800
Maybe your sleep is getting more and more destroyed every day.
00:02:18.960 --> 00:02:20.479
Maybe you're waking up at 2 a.m.
00:02:20.639 --> 00:02:22.719
with your heart pounding and no idea why.
00:02:22.879 --> 00:02:26.080
Maybe your mood has become more of a stranger to you.
00:02:26.319 --> 00:02:30.879
Maybe you are having anxiety that seems to have no trigger whatsoever.
00:02:31.120 --> 00:02:34.800
Maybe your libido has gone quiet in a way that scares you.
00:02:34.960 --> 00:02:40.240
Maybe your brain fog is bad enough now that you're losing words in meetings and hoping that nobody notices.
00:02:40.560 --> 00:02:44.800
You've been to the doctors, you've been to functional practitioners, even perhaps.
00:02:44.960 --> 00:02:55.759
You've read books, you've listened to podcasts, you've tried at least a handful of things, supplements, protocols, diets, cycle syncing, elimination stuff, whatever the algorithm was serving you at the time.
00:02:56.000 --> 00:02:59.199
Some things helped a little, nothing has really solved it.
00:02:59.280 --> 00:03:01.919
And your supplement cabinet has definitely grown.
00:03:02.080 --> 00:03:03.360
Your patience has shrunk.
00:03:03.520 --> 00:03:07.919
And somewhere along the way, you're starting to wonder quietly if maybe you're the problem.
00:03:08.240 --> 00:03:09.360
You're not the problem.
00:03:09.520 --> 00:03:10.719
You have a blind spot.
00:03:10.800 --> 00:03:13.680
And it isn't a personal failing, it's a structural one.
00:03:13.840 --> 00:03:19.680
It's a piece of the picture that the mainstream conversation about women's hormones has been leaving out entirely.
00:03:19.759 --> 00:03:24.560
And every attempt you've made has been fighting against that missing piece the whole time.
00:03:24.800 --> 00:03:26.319
That's what today's episode is about.
00:03:26.400 --> 00:03:30.400
And that's what the masterclass I'm running on Monday, September 21st at 6:30 p.m.
00:03:30.479 --> 00:03:33.759
Eastern is going to give you your missing piece.
00:03:34.000 --> 00:03:37.120
Let me tell you what I mean by a blind spot.
00:03:37.360 --> 00:03:43.039
You've been operating in this hormone healing conversation with a piece of the picture that nobody has actually shown you.
00:03:43.199 --> 00:03:47.759
Not because the practitioners you've worked with were necessarily bad, most of them meant well.
00:03:48.000 --> 00:03:49.919
And it's not because you didn't try hard enough.
00:03:50.080 --> 00:03:59.680
You have tried extremely hard, but because the entire way the mainstream conversation

about women's hormones is set up leaves out something structural and important.
00:04:00.080 --> 00:04:05.120
And every attempt you've made to fix your hormones has been fighting against that missing piece the whole time.
00:04:05.360 --> 00:04:07.280
Your blind spot is this.
00:04:07.520 --> 00:04:10.800
You've been told over and over that your problem is hormones.
00:04:10.960 --> 00:04:27.920
So you've been aiming every intervention at your hormones, supplements for your hormones, diets for your hormones, protocols for your hormones, bioidenticals for your hormones, elimination plans, cycle syncing, adaptogens, seed cycling, dim, magnesium, ashwagonda, the whole damn aisle at the grocery store, right?
00:04:28.160 --> 00:04:39.120
And not to say that some of the things those things aren't the right target for hormones, but your hormones are almost never the actual root cause of what you're experiencing.
00:04:39.360 --> 00:04:41.600
They're the last thing in a chain.
00:04:41.839 --> 00:04:47.279
They're what your body ends up doing in response to a whole system of other things happening upstream.
00:04:47.439 --> 00:04:57.839
And when you keep trying to fix your hormones directly, while all of that upstream stuff continues unaddressed, your results are always going to be temporary, partial, or non-existent.
00:04:58.160 --> 00:04:59.600
That is the blind spot.
00:04:59.759 --> 00:05:06.959
And I want to walk you through the shape of what's actually driving what you're experiencing so you can see what we're going to unpack in the masterclass.
00:05:07.199 --> 00:05:15.279
Here's what's actually happening: there are four things, four specific patterns that are actually driving the symptoms most women are experiencing.
00:05:15.439 --> 00:05:19.040
And almost every woman I work with is running two or three of them at the same time.
00:05:19.199 --> 00:05:21.519
That's the norm, not the exception.
00:05:21.839 --> 00:05:28.079
Which two or three and how they're stacking is what determines what your body actually needs in what order.
00:05:28.319 --> 00:05:31.680
The first has to do with what your body is running on day to day.
00:05:31.839 --> 00:05:37.920
There's a version of healthy eating that's actually starving your body of what it needs to make hormones in the first place.
00:05:38.079 --> 00:05:45.120
And a huge number of women are stuck here without actually realizing it because it can look healthy from the outside.
00:05:45.360 --> 00:05:49.680
The second has to do with how your body clears things, specifically estrogen.
00:05:49.839 --> 00:06:02.639
There's a version of this where your body is producing hormones just fine, but can't get rid of them efficiently, which means they recirculate and cause the exact symptoms you'd normally blame on too much of that very hormone.
00:06:02.879 --> 00:06:06.480
Very different problem than what most women are treating right now.
00:06:06.720 --> 00:06:22.480
The third has to do with your stress physiology and not in the vague you need to reduce your stress kind of way that gets thrown around quite often in a much more specific way that changes your hormone output at a cellular level, whether or not you actually feel stressed.
00:06:22.639 --> 00:06:25.600
I've talked about this in previous episodes because I've had plenty of women.
00:06:25.680 --> 00:06:32.639
I work with a lot of high-achieving type A kind of women, business owners, CEO, running departments, all the things.
00:06:32.959 --> 00:06:43.199
And you we can compartmentalize very well in our brain and not necessarily feel stress at a given moment, but that doesn't change necessarily the stress physiology.
00:06:43.279 --> 00:06:45.040
And that's really important to understand.
00:06:45.279 --> 00:06:51.759
The fourth has to do with communication, the way your brain, your thyroid, your adrenals, and your ovaries talk to each other.
00:06:51.920 --> 00:06:57.759
When that communication breaks down, your labs can look normal while you feel like a stranger in your own body.
00:06:57.839 --> 00:06:59.439
And I mean conventional labs.
00:06:59.680 --> 00:07:00.800
That's the shape.
00:07:01.040 --> 00:07:05.839
Which of those are yours, in what proportion, driving which of your symptoms?
00:07:06.000 --> 00:07:09.040
That's what we're going to walk through live on the 21st.
00:07:09.279 --> 00:07:15.519
And once you can see which ones are yours, everything about how you approach your hormones changes.
00:07:15.759 --> 00:07:21.920
Here's the piece I do want to leave you with because it's the biggest light bulb and it applies no matter which of those you're running.
00:07:22.240 --> 00:07:41.199
The exact same intervention, the exact same supplement, the exact same protocol, the exact same lifestyle change can transform your friend's health and do absolutely nothing for yours because it depends entirely on which of those four is running underneath and on what order things get addressed in.
00:07:41.439 --> 00:07:44.800
This is why you can do all the right things and get nowhere.
00:07:44.959 --> 00:07:55.759
It's not necessarily that the thing was wrong, it's that it was aimed at the wrong layer of your specific picture or done in the wrong sequence for what your body actually needed first.
00:07:56.160 --> 00:07:57.920
That is the actual blind spot.
00:07:58.160 --> 00:08:09.120
And that is what we are going to unpack for you specifically on Monday, September 21st, which brings me to what is this masterclass that I've been building and why I want you in that room.
00:08:09.279 --> 00:08:11.600
On Monday, September 21st at 6:30 p.m.
00:08:11.680 --> 00:08:15.279
Eastern, I'm running a live masterclass called the Hormone Blind Spot.
00:08:15.439 --> 00:08:20.560
It's the class I wish somebody had created eight years ago when I was still figuring this out on my own.
00:08:20.720 --> 00:08:26.639
And it's the most complete version of everything I teach, delivered in a single evening
that I've ever put together.
00:08:26.879 --> 00:08:29.680
Here's what you'll walk out of that class understanding.
00:08:29.920 --> 00:08:38.159
You'll understand which of the four patterns are actually driving your symptoms based on a diagnostic I'll walk you through live, not just intellectually.
00:08:38.320 --> 00:08:41.679
You'll be able to name your patterns by the end of this class.
00:08:41.919 --> 00:08:47.679
You'll understand why healthcare, conventional and functional, and anyone in between, has been failing women like you.
00:08:47.840 --> 00:08:49.279
It is a structural problem.
00:08:49.360 --> 00:08:54.639
And once you can see it, you can stop blaming yourself for what wasn't your failure to begin with.
00:08:54.879 --> 00:09:06.559
You'll understand the order of operations your body needs healing to happen in, not somebody else's body, yours, because the order matters as much or more than the individual process and the individual pieces.
00:09:06.720 --> 00:09:15.919
You'll understand what it actually takes to heal without making health a full-time job, because the 85-15 approach I talked about last week is embedded in everything I teach.
00:09:16.000 --> 00:09:18.879
And I'll show you what that looks like in practice.
00:09:19.120 --> 00:09:24.960
And you'll walk out with a clear next step, not a vague go figure it out on your own.
00:09:25.200 --> 00:09:31.360
A specific, honest, actionable next step for you based on where you actually are right now.
00:09:31.600 --> 00:09:33.840
If you attend live, there's a QA at the end.
00:09:34.000 --> 00:09:43.039
I answer real questions from women in the room, which is honestly one of my favorite parts because you get to see the specific way I think through individual situations.
00:09:43.279 --> 00:09:48.240
If you can't attend live, there will be a replay, but I would really encourage you to be there live if you can.
00:09:48.480 --> 00:09:55.200
The energy is just different, the questions are different, and you get access to me in real time, which is basically free coaching.
00:09:55.360 --> 00:09:57.039
So you're gonna want to be there.
00:09:57.279 --> 00:10:04.000
I want to say something honest here because I don't want you to hear this as another announcement in a sea of announcements in the online world.
00:10:04.159 --> 00:10:06.080
I have been in this work for a long time.
00:10:06.240 --> 00:10:30.399
I have watched women, smart, capable, high-achieving women who run companies and raise humans and hold entire lives together, spend years chasing the wrong thing, trying protocols, buying supplements, working with practitioners who meant well but never gave them the full picture, wearing themselves down, spending money they didn't have, and slowly losing hope that anyone was going to actually help them figure this out.
00:10:30.639 --> 00:10:38.240
I've watched women in their late 30s tell themselves, this is just what 40 is going to feel like when it absolutely didn't have to be.
00:10:38.399 --> 00:10:48.480
I've watched women blame themselves for not being able to solve a problem that was engineered, actually engineered to be unsolvable without the peace nobody was giving them.
00:10:48.720 --> 00:11:03.200
I've watched women stop trusting their own bodies, stop trusting their own instincts, stop trusting their own read of what was wrong, because every professional they went to told them nothing was wrong or gave them a plan that didn't work.
00:11:03.440 --> 00:11:08.240
I built the hormone blind spot because I got so tired of watching that happen.
00:11:08.399 --> 00:11:14.559
I got tired of women feeling stupid for not being able to figure out something that was set up to confuse them.
00:11:14.720 --> 00:11:20.559
I got tired of the gap between what women are told about their hormones and what's actually happening in their bodies.
00:11:20.799 --> 00:11:29.919
I got tired of watching women waste another year and another year and another year when the answer was sitting there right in the piece that they'd never been shown.
00:11:30.399 --> 00:11:41.039
This class is the most complete way I can give you the piece of the picture nobody's been giving you in a single evening, live with me and a room of other women who are exactly where you are.
00:11:41.279 --> 00:11:45.279
If you show up on the 21st, you are going to walk away seeing your own body differently.
00:11:45.440 --> 00:11:46.879
And that's not a marketing promise.
00:11:47.039 --> 00:11:49.759
That's what a paradigm shift actually feels like.
00:11:49.840 --> 00:11:55.440
And I've watched enough women have that shift with me at this point to know that it's real and you can have it too.
00:11:55.600 --> 00:12:01.120
Before I give you the details, I want to say who this class is specifically for because I don't want you to think this is for everybody.
00:12:01.200 --> 00:12:04.080
And I don't want you to sign up if it isn't for you.
00:12:04.240 --> 00:12:22.480
This class is for you if you've been at this for a while, if you've already tried some things, if you've maybe been to a functional medicine practitioner or two and still don't feel like you have real answers, or you've at least been to your conventional doctors a number of times and you are really looking for someone with a more holistic approach.
00:12:22.720 --> 00:12:26.480
If you've got a full supplement cabinet, I know how that feels.
00:12:26.720 --> 00:12:34.399
If you've got a full supplement cabinet, some scattered wins and the persistent feeling that you're missing something obvious, this class is for you.
00:12:34.559 --> 00:12:40.879
This class is for you if you are the woman in your friend group who's the most capable and also the most quietly exhausted.
00:12:41.120 --> 00:12:49.200
If you're running your career or your business or your household at a high level and paying for it in ways that don't show on the outside, this is for you.
00:12:49.440 --> 00:12:57.120
If you have
suspected, quietly, maybe without saying it out loud, the wellness industry has been part of the problem, not the solution.
00:12:57.279 --> 00:13:03.919
And I know that's been resonating with a lot of people over on Instagram, a lot of women coming to me because I've been talking more about this out loud.
00:13:04.080 --> 00:13:09.919
And I was even afraid to bring it out on my Instagram content because I'm ridiculing the very industry that I'm in.
00:13:10.000 --> 00:13:14.159
But if we don't name the problem, then how can we be a part of the solution?
00:13:14.320 --> 00:13:14.639
Right.
00:13:14.799 --> 00:13:25.679
So if you have been thinking that the wellness industry has been a part of the problem, not the solution, and you're looking for someone who's willing to name that honestly and give you a way through it, this class is for you.
00:13:25.919 --> 00:13:30.480
And if you're looking for a quick fix or a supplement recommendation, that's not what this is.
00:13:30.639 --> 00:13:39.200
This is a paradigm shift, a diagnostic, and a real path forward for the woman who's ready to actually understand what's happening in her body and stop guessing.
00:13:39.360 --> 00:13:42.799
So if that's you, I really want you in that room on the 21st.
00:13:43.039 --> 00:13:45.440
One more thing before I tell you how to register.
00:13:45.679 --> 00:13:57.360
I've been on the podcast for the last few weeks talking about the cost of waiting, about what happens when smart, high-achieving women keep telling themselves they'll deal with their body after this next quarter, this next school year, this next project.
00:13:57.600 --> 00:13:59.440
I meant everything I said in that episode.
00:13:59.519 --> 00:14:05.279
If you didn't listen to it, go back and listen to the whole thing because waiting has a cost and it's real and it compounds.
00:14:05.519 --> 00:14:10.960
This masterclass is one of the simplest, lowest friction ways I can give you to stop waiting.
00:14:11.039 --> 00:14:20.799
It's free, it's going to be 90 minutes, it's live, and you can show up in your kitchen with a cup of tea and get a genuinely different understanding of your body by the time it's over.
00:14:21.039 --> 00:14:24.799
If nothing else, clear your Monday evening, come and see what you learn.
00:14:25.039 --> 00:14:32.559
Six months from now, there is a version of you six months into feeling different, and a version of you six months deeper into the same loop.
00:14:32.799 --> 00:14:36.480
Which one you land in isn't going to be decided by hope.
00:14:36.639 --> 00:14:40.399
It's going to be decided by what you actually do in the next few weeks.
00:14:40.639 --> 00:14:50.159
Showing up on Monday, the 21st is a really specific action you can take right now for free that could change everything about how you approach the next six months.
00:14:50.320 --> 00:14:51.200
So please come.
00:14:51.279 --> 00:14:52.879
I built this exactly for you.
00:14:53.120 --> 00:14:54.799
Here's what
I want you to do this week.
00:14:54.960 --> 00:14:57.279
Registration for the masterclass opens on Thursday.
00:14:57.360 --> 00:15:01.120
I don't have the link ready right this second because I'm putting the finishing touches on the page.
00:15:01.279 --> 00:15:07.679
But the fastest way to make sure you get it the second that it goes live is to follow me on Instagram at Simply Healthy Wellness.
00:15:07.759 --> 00:15:10.159
I'll be posting the link the moment that it is ready.
00:15:10.399 --> 00:15:12.879
If you're on my email list, you'll also be the first to know.
00:15:13.039 --> 00:15:16.480
If you know someone else who needs to be in this room, send her this episode.
00:15:16.559 --> 00:15:18.320
Please, please send her this episode.
00:15:18.480 --> 00:15:19.440
She might not follow me.
00:15:19.600 --> 00:15:20.879
She might not know I exist.
00:15:21.039 --> 00:15:23.840
She might have been quietly Googling her symptoms at 2 a.m.
00:15:24.000 --> 00:15:24.879
and getting nowhere.
00:15:25.039 --> 00:15:26.639
So please send her this podcast.
00:15:26.799 --> 00:15:28.559
Let this be how she finds me.
00:15:28.799 --> 00:15:31.200
Monday, September 21st, 6:30 p.m.
00:15:31.360 --> 00:15:32.879
Eastern, the hormone blind spot.
00:15:33.039 --> 00:15:35.039
Follow me for the registration link Thursday.
00:15:35.200 --> 00:15:35.840
I'll be there.
00:15:36.000 --> 00:15:38.720
I built this for you and I really want you in that room.
00:15:38.960 --> 00:15:39.279
All right.
00:15:39.440 --> 00:15:47.919
Before I let you go, this week's kick rocks goes to every version of hormone education that has deliberately left out the pieces that would actually help you.
00:15:48.320 --> 00:15:49.919
They can all kick rocks.
00:15:50.480 --> 00:15:59.519
Because the reason the blind spot exists in the first place is that the wellness industry and conventional healthcare is profitable when you're confused.
00:15:59.679 --> 00:16:05.279
When you don't know what's actually driving your symptoms, you keep buying, you keep trying, you keep chasing.
00:16:05.440 --> 00:16:13.519
And every practitioner and content creator selling you the next symptom-specific protocol has a financial reason to not give you the whole picture.
00:16:14.080 --> 00:16:17.759
Or they're just uneducated on what the whole picture actually is.
00:16:18.000 --> 00:16:20.399
Because the whole picture would let you stop chasing.
00:16:20.559 --> 00:16:23.840
And stopping chasing is bad for their business model.
00:16:24.080 --> 00:16:26.159
I have zero interest in keeping you confused.
00:16:26.320 --> 00:16:32.559
That's what the masterclass is for, to end the blind spot, to give you the full picture, and to let you stop chasing.
00:16:32.720 --> 00:16:33.919
All right, that's the show.
00:16:34.080 --> 00:16:35.840
See you Thursday for the registration link.
00:16:36.000 --> 00:16:38.559
See you Monday the 21st at 6:30 p.m.
00:16:38.720 --> 00:16:40.559
Eastern for the masterclass itself.
00:16:40.720 --> 00:16:44.639
Don't forget to send this to a friend who needs to be in that room, and I'll catch you next time.
00:16:46.960 --> 00:16:48.720
Thanks so much for hanging out with me today.
00:16:48.799 --> 00:16:52.080
If this episode did something for you, because let's be honest, it definitely did.
00:16:52.240 --> 00:16:59.039
The best thing you can do is follow the show so you never miss one and send it to a woman in your life who needs to hear this information.
00:16:59.200 --> 00:17:03.679
If you've got a minute, a review helps more women find this in a sea of wellness noise.
00:17:03.759 --> 00:17:04.960
And come find me on Instagram.
00:17:05.039 --> 00:17:10.160
That's where I hang out between episodes, and where you can tell me what you want me to nerd out about next.
00:17:10.400 --> 00:17:13.359
Until then, eat first, drink your coffee, and take care of yourself.
00:17:13.759 --> 00:17:14.559
See you next time.
