Hormone Health for Moms - Hormone balance, Insulin resistance, Boost Energy, Cortisol, Blood sugar
*TOP 2.5% GLOBALLY RANKED PODCAST*
Feeling exhausted no matter how much you sleep? Dealing with stubborn weight that won’t budge, unpredictable digestion, or energy crashes that hit hard, especially after having kids?
Do you feel like your body is working against you, and no matter how “healthy” you try to be, you’re still bloated, burnt out, and wondering what happened to the old you?
I’m Sara Moreira, nurse, functional diagnostic nutrition practitioner, and mom of 4. After walking through my own journey of postpartum depletion, flatlined cortisol, and gut imbalances, I know what it’s like to feel dismissed, misdiagnosed, and told “everything looks normal” when you feel anything but.
For years I was stuck in the cycle of clean eating, supplement guessing, and chasing symptom after symptom until I discovered how powerful it is to work with the body, not against it.
Now I blend functional lab testing with ancestral rhythms, mineral balancing, and a faith-rooted, nervous system-supportive approach to help women restore their metabolism, digestion, and energy after having kids.
Inside the Hormone Healing for Moms Podcast, we go beyond quick fixes and diets to uncover the root causes of chronic fatigue, hormonal imbalances, bloating, hair loss, and weight loss resistance.
You’ll learn how to reset your circadian rhythm, balance your master hormones like insulin and cortisol, and nourish your body back to safety with simple, science-backed strategies rooted in both functional medicine and God-designed healing.
Each episode will help you understand your body on a deeper level so you can get real results that last without burning out or giving up the things that matter most. Because true healing isn’t just physical, it’s spiritual too.
Let’s redefine what it means to bounce back after kids and walk in the healing and wholeness you were always meant for.

Everyone talks about magnesium when it comes to energy and metabolism but there’s another mineral connection that’s just as important (and almost always overlooked).
In this episode, I’m revealing the sodium-to-potassium ratio and how it affects everything from adrenal health to insulin sensitivity. You’ll see how stress, low-salt diets, and chronic fatigue quietly deplete this ratio, and why balancing it may finally unlock your energy and weight loss.
I’ll also walk you through how HTMA testing shows your unique mineral blueprint so you can stop guessing and start healing your metabolism at the root.
In this episode, you’ll learn:
⚖️ Why sodium and potassium are the real metabolic regulators
🔋 How this ratio acts like your body’s energy thermostat
😴 Why low-salt diets and chronic stress slow metabolism and cause water retention
🔍 How HTMA testing reveals your true mineral balance (and adrenal strength)
🧂 Practical ways to support sodium and potassium naturally through diet

If you’re a mom in your 30s and you’re dealing with mood swings, heavy periods, PMS, low libido, or waking up at 2 AM, you might be thinking, "My hormones must be a mess!" And you're not wrong… but what if the real issue started before your hormones even got involved?
In today’s episode, we’re diving deep into why so many hormone symptoms in your 30s—like hair loss, irritability, fatigue, and low sex drive—are actually rooted in blood sugar instability and insulin resistance.
