Aren’t hormones fun…part ✌🏼 This time we’re talking about testosterone.

Yes, women have it too. And it matters more than most people realise.

When testosterone runs higher in women it can show up as things like acne, excess facial hair, cycle disruption, or central weight gain.

When levels fall, the pattern often looks very different: fatigue, low motivation, reduced libido, loss of muscle tone, and that vague “something feels off” feeling many women describe.

For men, the pattern shifts again.

Testosterone influences energy, sexual function, muscle mass, mood, and metabolic health; so when levels drop it can show up as fatigue, reduced strength, low libido, or increasing body fat.

But just like the last post…hormones rarely sit neatly in a table.

Sleep, stress, metabolic health, medications, and life stage all influence how these patterns appear.

Which is why working with someone who can step back and look at the whole picture tends to be far more useful than chasing a single hormone in isolation.

*sigh* not exactly a spring chicken anymore..

Here’s what I’m doing at 37 to keep my hormones happy.

And yes, obviously the backing track had to be a 90s classic.
My millennial heart wouldn’t allow anything else.

One of the first things I look at in clinic is stress physiology.

Not because the nervous system is the latest wellness trend (even though my IG says it is 😅) but because it shows up in almost every hormone case I see.

Cortisol is often reduced to “the stress hormone”, but in reality it acts more like a central regulator. It’s in constant conversation with insulin, thyroid signalling, oestrogen, progesterone and testosterone. When the stress response is running too hard or for too long, those systems shift with it.

+ Blood sugar becomes harder to stabilise + Ovulation can become inconsistent + Progesterone production can drop off + Thyroid signalling slows + Inflammatory pathways increase

What people notice are the downstream effects: fatigue, PMS, irregular cycles, poor sleep, stubborn weight changes, low libido.

These often get labelled as “hormone issues”. But many of them are actually stress-response issues.

This is why nervous system work sits at the centre of my clinical approach.

Not the “just relax, be mindful, take deep breaths” version of nervous system advice that gets thrown around online; but a much more practical process of changing the signals the body is receiving day to day.

If the nervous system is constantly interpreting life as pressure, urgency, or threat, the body prioritises survival physiology. Repair, hormone stability and reproduction move down the list.

You can stack supplements, diets and protocols on top of that all you like, but if the stress response stays dysregulated, progress is often limited 🙃

Aren’t hormones fun?! 🤪

They whisper, nudge…and sometimes shout.

Heavy bleeding, tender breasts and bloating can suggest higher oestrogen activity.

Hot flushes, dry skin and achy joints tend to show up when levels fall.

But the human body rarely falls into a neat table (as cute as it may be 💁🏻‍♀️), especially during hormonal transitions where things can swing in both directions.

This is where working with a practitioner can be useful: someone who can step back, look at the pattern, and make sense of the signals your body is sending 🤓

If your stomach goes from flat to “pregnant” by the end of the day… it’s probably not just the food 🤰🏻

Hormones influence fluid balance, gut motility, and microbial fermentation, which is why bloating often worsens around the cycle.

Understanding the mechanism is where progress starts 😎

❤️‍🔥 Flat in the morning and pregnant by 4pm?

I’ll bet my favourite kitty that you’ve never had leptin tested 👀

It’s rarely included in routine pathology panels, even in many fertility investigations, yet it plays a central role in whether the brain initiates ovulation at all. 
When a high-functioning woman comes to see me for cycle changes or fertility support, I’m often thinking about energy signalling upstream. Not just ovarian hormones. 
Leptin is produced by fat cells and travels to the hypothalamus, where it helps inform the brain whether there’s enough overall stability to proceed with reproduction. And that stability isn’t just about food intake. It reflects nervous system load, sleep patterns, circadian rhythm, and sustained output. 
If someone is running on go-go energy, sleeping inconsistently, managing constant cognitive demand, and living in a low-grade stress state, leptin signalling can shift, even when standard hormone panels look kind of normal. 
Ovulation is a brain decision. Leptin is part of that conversation. 
It’s not routinely tested. But in the right clinical context, it can change how the whole picture is interpreted ❤️‍🔥

I’m often asked what foods are great for hormone health ❤️‍🔥

And while there are foods that can be incredibly supportive, the less sexy truth is this:

It’s not just about what you eat—it’s about how your body handles it.

Polyphenol-rich foods are a good example. They can help guide hormone signalling and support hormone clearance, but they rely heavily on gut and liver function to do their job. If those systems are struggling, the impact is often underwhelming.

This is why hormone work rarely comes down to a simple food list.
 It’s systems work, and the nuance matters.

If you’re curious about what’s actually driving your hormone picture, that’s the work I do in clinic 🤗

Not sure where to start? That’s exactly why the free 15-minute health assessment exists.

This isn’t a mini consult or a rushed sales call (❌). It’s a low-pressure space to:
 – ask questions about how I work – understand my process and what working together actually looks like – talk through what’s going on for you at a high level – get a feel for me, and whether I’m the right practitioner for you

If you’re feeling curious but hesitant, overwhelmed by options, or just want clarity before committing to an initial consultation — this is the place to start.

No assumptions. No obligation. Just a conversation to see if it feels aligned 🫶🏻

This year has been… a ride 🤡
 And if you know me personally, you’ve basically watched the plot twists unfold in real time…
 Honestly, I think I’ve been a lot of people’s highlight reel this year (just my life providing endless lol’s). 
But here’s the thing: even when life is chaotic, your body doesn’t get the “just keep up” memo. It whispers first.  Sleep goes rogue. Energy tanks. Mood shifts. Digestion complains. The 2–3am wake-ups become part of your personality.  Mine did all of the above. 
So instead of pretending I was fine, I went back to the foundations, the same ones I lean on with my patients.

Nervous system support, inflammation management, circadian rhythm, solid nutrition, movement that regulates rather than drains… the unsexy things that actually change how you feel day to day. 
If this year dragged you through it too, and your body has been waving flags you’ve been trying to ignore, reach out.
 You don’t have to guess your way through stress, hormones or recovery. Hit up yo girl who knows a thing or two about getting through sh*t with a (fake) smile on her face 🙃😆
