Leisha Drews - Hormonal Health and Finding Balance Ep. 67
Episode Summary In this episode of the Authentic Tea podcast , host Dr Rachel Beanland talks with Leisha Drews, a registered nurse turned functional diagnostic nutrition practitioner and holistic hormone coach. Leisha shares how her experiences in hospital medicine and motherhood led her to explore a more holistic approach to health. She discusses how menstrual-cycle phases can influence energy, mood, creativity, and daily life—and how cycle awareness may help women plan, rest, and respond to their needs with more self-compassion. The conversation also explores why hormone symptoms can be clues to broader patterns in the body, the value of combining holistic and conventional care, and a practical starting point for nutrition: eating a nourishing breakfast within 30 to 60 minutes of waking. Leisha explains her transition from nursing to coaching, her focus on supporting women and mothers, and how podcasting became a more sustainable way to share her work. This episode is for anyone curious about understanding their body, supporting hormone health, and finding a more balanced approach to wellbeing.
