Your Cycle & What It’s Trying to Tell You | Melinda Haak
Ready for the biggest myth of all?!  PMS and cramping are normal, and there’s nothing you can do about it.  
WRONG. 
While those conditions are incredibly common, they are NOT normal, and 50 years of doctors slapping us on birth control as the answer has created another whole host of issues.  
Ready for some good news?! 
We have information and tools to help get things back under control.

Your menstrual cycle is like a built-in health report, giving you clues about your body’s overall well-being. 
It’s not just about tracking your period—your cycle reflects everything from your hormonal balance to how stress, diet, and lifestyle choices are affecting you. Paying attention to it can help you feel more in tune with your body as you take charge of your health naturally. If you are interested in learning more, I have a class for you and you can choose how you want to participate. In this class, we'll ask questions, listen to our bodies, and discover ways we can lean into to our hormonal balance with practical, daily practices.
Ways to participate: text or email or Live Zoom 
If you would like a text version of this class, you will get a slightly shorter version but still amazing information. You need to text the word CYCLE to (417) 553-1500. The class will start arriving in text form and you will get a new text every 5 minutes over the course of an hour and a half. 
If you would prefer a slightly more in-depth version, I can send it to you via email where you will get 1 email a day for 6 days.

XO,

I’m Melinda, mother of four and gatekeeper for my family’s health.

 
Hi, Melinda here:  the health & wellness enthusiast behind this blog. I am so happy you are here!
I deeply love everything holistic, smoothies and the sunshine!
My health journey began about 12 years ago when I started to dive deeper into the reasons I was a stressed out, sick and tired mom with sick kids. The round after round of antibiotics, allergy meds and shots, had me exhausted and frustrated. 
Thankfully, I had a friend who cared. She introduced me to the concept of food as medicine, homeopathy, living a cleaner lifestyle and essential oils. 

Literally, from one day to another, I went from ‘eating everything’ to gluten-free, sugar-free, dairy free. That’s right – no more cheese, and dairy products (oh, my butter!), no more nightly ice-cream bowls, no more weekly Sonic runs, no more foods that contained refined carbs (bye-bye delicious bread and pasta!) and no more M&M stashes or Twizzlers.
After seeing fairly rapid results with my kids (kicked those allergy shots and antibiotics fairly quickly), I  tried various dietary approaches for myself: Paleo, Keto, Vegetarian, Whole 30… I have come to conclusion there is no one right diet for all, and as everyone is different, we must treat each and every person very individually and take into consideration ‘what’s one person’s food, might be another person’s poison!’
I became obsessed with nutrition, all things clean living and then in 2023 I received my Health Coach Certification from IIN – Institute for Integrative Nutrition.


My approach to health and wellness is holistic, which means that I look at how all areas of a person’s life are connected. It’s not just the food we eat, but all of the factors present in our daily lives. Healthy relationships (starting with yourself), regular physical activity, fulfilling career and spiritual awareness are all essential forms of nourishment.

I love to dig deeper into various topics – brain health, epigenetics, dirty genes, neuroscience, muscle balancing and biohacking. 
I truly see greatness in learning how to help people reprogram their brain, heal their illnesses and live more fulfilled lives.

 

My goal is to inspire and empower you, to provide you with the tools, insights and information you need on your journey to become the best version of yourself! 


If FOOD IS INFORMATION, then when you eat foods that are beneficial to your body, you are more likely to become a balanced and calm person, with decisions that serve you well. As decisions are formed in the brain, the brain needs to get the best nutrition possible to be able to function on a level we are happy with, and often gladly challenged by.

I believe that your diet determines 85% of your health and wellbeing.

I believe that everybody can only benefit if they up-level their nutrition and decrease their stress.

I also believe in returning to eating As Nature Intended


I am constantly learning and growing, and this website is documentation of my continuous personal

development at all possible levels and sharing my experience and views. 

Welcome to my little piece of the internet and enjoy the ride!
         
Keep shining! 
Melinda
