Alright – so today we’ve got the honor of introducing you to Leah Brueggemann. We think you’ll enjoy our conversation, we’ve shared it below.

Hi Leah, thanks for joining us today. We’re complete cheeseballs and so we love asking folks to share the most heartwarming moment from their career – do you have a touching moment you can share with us?

As a Functional Practitioner specialising in helping women balance their hormones naturally I work with a lot of women who have been told their only options are birth control or a hysterectomy. My clients are often given no options to choose from but they fight back because they know there has to be another option and choice for them. I hope that that is something we will see change in the health industry as me move forward, that women’s health issues are just put into boxes and classified as unfixable. One of my past clients would bleed so heavy on her period that she couldn’t leave the house on her period. She was diagnosed with fibroids and was told that her only option was a hysterectomy. Three months into working with me she went prom dress shopping with her daughters on her period! I have so many stories like this and it opens up such possibility for all women that they can do this too!

Leah, love having you share your insights with us. Before we ask you more questions, maybe you can take a moment to introduce yourself to our readers who might have missed our earlier conversations?

I know how frustrating your hormones can be, and that they are controlling your life.

When I was diagnosed with fibroadenomas (benign breast tumors), my world turned upside down. I had extremely painful periods and irregular cycles but I never made the connection that it was my hormones! After three crazy years I finally discovered the root of my issues, and saved my health!

I stopped trying to treat the fibroadenomas and focused on the root issue which was my hormonal imbalance. I used nutrition to support my hormones and find out my food sensitivities so my body could heal!

My fibroadenomas started shrinking, my cycles became regular, I had pain-free, symptom-less periods, and I lengthened my luteal phase! I was able to raise my progesterone naturally and have had 2 amazing pregnancies!

As a certified Functional Practitioner and I am able to help women put all the pieces together in their health puzzle so they can finally discover the root cause of their symptoms!

Now, I help women just like you have painless periods, get over weight loss plateaus, have regular cycles and get rid of anxiety and mood swings!

I help women through my Hormone Reset Program and 1:1 coaching. I utilize functional lab testing, brain rewiring and nutrition to get them fast results that last!

Putting training and knowledge aside, what else do you think really matters in terms of succeeding in your field?

One of the biggest things that helps me be an amazing coach outside of my knowledge is the ability to listen. Women have been silenced and gas lit enough with their health issues. They often have a very strong inkling of what is wrong they just need guidance getting the results.

How about pivoting – can you share the story of a time you’ve had to pivot?

So I actually graduated college with my Bachelors in piano and voice. I was a full time music director and music teacher for years. When my health started spiraling I dropped into the holistic health world to learn more. I loved music but the health space fascinated me! I went back to school to become a FDN-P and completely changed what I was doing for a living. I did have a transition phase where I was doing music and health coaching at the same time, and then I slowly phased out being a music teacher as my health coaching business picked up. Being able to give women back their life by aiding them in their health is priceless!
