This workshop will show you how practitioners interpret cortisol patterns and what those patterns can reveal about how your body is actually handling stress. Far less than the cost of a typical functional appointment (without labs), this is designed as a clear, practical introduction to understanding your stress physiology. Leave this workshop knowing how to understand YOUR results.
why take this workshop?
After this 90-minute session, you’ll understand:
• what cortisol actually IS
• The pattern your body is likely operating in
• how practitioners interpret cortisol and stress hormone tests
• what different cortisol patterns can suggest about stress physiology
• how these patterns connect to symptoms like poor sleep, fatigue, and hormone disruption
(among others)
• whether deeper one-on-one work might be helpful for you & when it makes sense to look for hidden stressors hiding behind your test results
No guessing.
No staring at lab numbers without context.
No googling or asking random facebook groups for answers.
your 4 point saliva cortisol & hormones test + live educational workshop
Women need answers, and we're not always ready to commit to 4-8 months of one to one guidance if we can't first confirm we need it. I 100% get that.
I don’t believe in running labs without context — or handing people data without a clear way to understand it. That's one of the reasons I don't just let you order labs off my website. It just doesn't make sense to me, feels unethical, and it's a waste of your hard earned money.
At the same time, I know not everyone is ready to commit to deeper one-on-one work right away, especially if you have been burned before— even by someone ‘functional’. I've been there, too (and the cost associated with my own failed health partnership kept me from getting the real help I needed for years afterward).
This workshop bridges that gap in a foundational way.
It's something I've been thinking about for a while, but I didn't want to offer it until I hashed out the specifics so that I could do it in a way that kept the data beneficial to you – not just a waste of money because it doesn't serve you.
It's educational in nature, but it provides you with your data (the cost of the lab is $275 and it's included in the workshop fee). It also provides you with the knowledge required to read it yourself and know if you truly need deeper investigation.
It allows you to see exactly how your body is responding to stress NOW, which is both validating and empowering for most.
This knowledge is offered in a group, educational context so it can be provided at a fraction of what a normal functional consult costs, even without labs.
This is not a stand-in for working with a practitioner (if you need it), but it's a way to know if it's truly warranted without any follow-up commitment required.
It's also great foundational check-up if you simply want to know where your cortisol, capacity, and hormones stand.
this workshop is not for everyone
This is for you if you:
feel wired, burned out, or chronically “off” despite being told
things look "normal"
want hands-on experience with functional labs before
committing to deeper care
wish you could see the FDN concepts ‘in action’
value understanding why recommendations are made,
not just receiving them
are open to a thoughtful, step-by-step approach to healing
feel like you need to actually see the data that proves how you're feeling is justified
want a foundational 'checkup' as it relates to cortisol, your nerrvous system state, and sex hormones
this workshop is not for everyone
This is not a good fit for you if you:
You’re looking for personalized protocols, supplement recommendations, hormone recommendations, or immediate treatment guidance
You want one-on-one coaching or are hoping for an individualized, detailed case review
in a group setting
You’re hoping this workshop will “fix” symptoms or provide detailed solutions rather than help you understand underlying patterns
You’re not open to the idea that meaningful change often requires deeper, individualized work beyond a single session
You’re currently in a medical or mental health crisis that requires
immediate, personalized care
You've got questions. We've got answers.
Because this workshop (potentially) includes your personal lab results,
timing must account for completing test kits and getting results back. I want these to be in front of you, & fresh, ideally, during the class.
Lab orders typically take around a week to arrive to your home, and some ladies will be able to take their tests immediately, while others may need to wait a week or two depending on their cycle.
We need another 2 weeks or so for lab results to arrive.
This means this workshop will be scheduled approximately 4 - 6 weeks out.
None!
I will walk you through the most common patterns I see and explain what they mean in real life, step by step, in basic terms you can actually understand.
You do not need to be lab literate or have any prior health or medical training to understand anything we'll be covering. If you do, that's great, but it's not a pre-requisite.
I'll be explaining this like I'm speaking to someone who's never been told any of it before in simple, understandable, easily digestible terms.
This is a live workshop, but having your camera off is totally fine with me (or a fake name or initials for that matter), and you do not have to share your personal results with the group.
I will have examples we go through to demonstrate the knowledge we're applying to this test and situation, and as this is educational – we won't be getting into the personal details of your specific situation on the call.
If your main concern is anonymity, you need not worry.
I always love to see your face and hear your comments, but you are more than welcome to choose to share or choose not to share – join at whatever comfort level you are at with no judgement or offense taken.
Yes — time permitting, the final 15–30 minutes of the workshop will be reserved for Q&A.
You will also be allowed to stop me or ask for clarification or ask questions as I'm presenting -- this is live for a reason.
Because this is a group, educational experience, we’ll need to be mindful of time and respectful of the group as a whole. There won’t be space to fully explore each person’s health history or dive deeply into individualized symptom timelines, as doing so would take time and learning away from other participants.
That said, you’re absolutely welcome to ask specific questions about your own results as they relate to the patterns and concepts discussed during the workshop. The goal of the Q&A is to support understanding and clarity — not to conduct individual case reviews.
No, or not intentionally.
The only additional cost is a return shipping fee you'll have to pay when you mail back your sample to the lab. There's no way for this to be pre-paid, so you'll have to take care of that at the time of mailing. Expect to pay around $15-$20 for shipping your samples to the lab.
Yes.
I would ideally love for you to be available in person, but sometimes life happens. If you can't make it live, you will have the option to view the workshop as a recording after the fact.
This is an educational workshop with functional lab testing and not medical care. Due to lab ordering and processing, all sales are final and all fees are non-refundable.
