Meet Our Guest: Leah Brueggemann, Functional DiagnosticNutritional® Practitioner - hormone health coach & host of Balancing Hormones Naturally
What we talk about
· Leah’s path from professional musician to hormonepractitioner—and the long, non-linear healing journey that built her empathy (fibroadenomas, painful periods, missing cycles).
· Functional mushrooms in real life & practice: how Leahuses cordyceps and the 3-mushroom blend for sustainable energy and quick wins; reishi for stress/HPA support and androgen metabolism; maitake and chaga for blood-sugar support and resilience; lion’s mane + chaga combos for Lyme-related brain fog; turkey tail for family immune support.
· “Reishi baby” 💛 — Leah’s pregnancy experience with therapeutic dosing and why dose matters.
· Kids & mushrooms: sneaky ways to serve blends(smoothies, cocoa, popsicles, energy bites) and why Leah avoids cordyceps for little ones.
· The “boring basics” that change everything: sleep, bloodsugar, nervous system hygiene—and how mushrooms amplify what you’re already doing.
· Men’s health & fertility: why cordyceps isn’t just forgym days.
Key takeaways
· Symptoms are messages, not enemies—start with foundations,then let mushrooms multiply the benefits.
· Dose matters. Therapeutic ranges often exceed“one-capsule” marketing—know your extraction ratios.
· For pregnancy questions, personalize: reishi + maitake canbe gentler entry points; use your care team and your data.
· For families: reishi for the wind-down, lion’s mane forschool-day focus, turkey tail for immune “seatbelts.”
