You’re working out 5–6 days a week.

You’re pushing through the fatigue.

You’re trying to feel better…

But your hormones feel worse.

🚫 Long, intense cardio every day might look “healthy” -

But for your hormones? It’s a stress bomb.
→ Spikes cortisol
→ Suppresses ovulation
→ Increases inflammation
→ Triggers hormone burnout

✅ What supports hormone health?
→ Strength training
→ Cycle syncing
→ Rest days that actually count
→ Workouts that regulate your nervous system instead of wrecking it

Your workouts shouldn’t hijack your hormones.

They should help heal them.

Tired of being handed birth control for every hormone issue?

❌Heavy periods? Take the pill.
❌Acne? Here’s a script.
❌PMS? Just “deal with it.”

✨ Functional medicine doesn’t silence symptoms.

It asks: Why is your body out of balance in the first place?

Here’s what we look at instead:
→ Blood sugar + cortisol patterns
→ Gut + liver function (detox matters!)
→ Nutrient status (B6, magnesium, zinc, iodine…)
→ Inflammation + stress response
→ Cycle phase hormone mapping - not just one snapshot

This isn’t a quick fix.

It’s a root cause reset - designed to work with your body, not override it.

You don’t need another band-aid.

You need a practitioner who listens deeper.

Let’s actually heal this.

You can track every macro.

Stay under 1200 calories.

And still feel bloated, exhausted, and stuck.

Because your hormones?

They’re not counting calories.

They’re tracking stress, safety, and survival.

Here’s what your body might be hearing on a 1200 calorie diet:
→ “We’re in a famine - slow the metabolism.”
→ “Ovulation isn’t safe - pause reproduction.”
→ “Conserve energy - increase cortisol, drop thyroid function.”
→ “Store fat, not burn it - just in case.”

So instead of fat loss, you get:
– Period problems
– Crashing energy
– Mood swings
– Hair thinning
– Weight gain (especially belly)

Your hormones don’t respond to discipline.

They respond to nourishment.

If you’re consistently skipping breakfast because you “just aren’t hungry”…

🚩 That’s not a personality trait.

It’s a hormone red flag.

Here’s why it matters:
→ Low cortisol in the morning = no appetite + sluggish energy
→ Blood sugar dysregulation = nausea, anxiety, or no hunger after waking
→ Dysregulated circadian rhythm = cortisol/melatonin flip (wired at night, flat in the morning)
→ Adrenal dysfunction = body is conserving energy, not burning it

Waking up without hunger might feel “normal” to you.

But in a regulated system, your body should be ready to refuel after an overnight fast.

Not feeling hunger = not feeling safe.

A balanced breakfast (esp. protein + fat) is one of the most powerful hormone resets you can give yourself.

Your morning hunger is a signal.
Let’s start listening.

You’re eating clean.

You’ve cut the gluten, the dairy, the sugar.

But your belly still feels swollen, tight, uncomfortable.

💡 It might not be what you’re eating.

It might be what your hormones are doing.

Hormone-driven bloating is real and often missed.

It’s not about food intolerance.

It’s about fluid retention, slowed motility, and inflammatory shifts caused by:
→ Ostrogen dominance (hello, water retention + histamine flare-ups)
→ Low progesterone (slows digestion = trapped gas + bloat)
→ Cortisol spikes or crashes (disrupt gut function + cause bloating)
→ Cycle-related shifts (esp. before your period)
→ Poor hormone detox through gut + liver

If your bloating comes with mood swings, breast tenderness, or PMS?

That’s not a digestion issue - that’s a hormone clue.

You don’t need another elimination diet.

You need a deeper look at what your body’s trying to tell you.

You got your labs back.

They say “everything’s normal.”

So why do you still feel exhausted, bloated, moody, and off?🤔

Because “normal” lab ranges are based on population averages...

Not what’s optimal for your body.

And most standard panels miss key pieces of the hormone puzzle:
→ Cortisol rhythm (not just one reading)
→ Progesterone timing (cycle day matters!)
→ Hormone ratios, not just totals
→ Nutrients needed for hormone metabolism (like B6, magnesium, zinc)
→ Gut + liver function that clears excess hormones

So no, you’re not crazy.

You’re just being told you’re “fine” by a system that’s only looking at surface-level data.

✨ You don’t need to be dismissed.

You need deeper testing, better context, and a full-body approach.

Comment “AUDIT” to get The Hormone Disruptor Audit and discover the hidden patterns, like estrogen dominance, stealing your energy and cycle balance.

21/11/2025

Ostrogen dominance doesn’t always mean your ostrogen is too high.

It means ostrogen is high relative to progesterone.

And yes, your labs can be “normal” while your body feels anything but.

What drives it?
→ Chronic stress (lowers progesterone)
→ Blood sugar instability
→ Poor ostrogen detox (gut & liver issues)
→ Xenoestrogens (plastics, fragrances, receipts)
→ Hormonal birth control rebound

Common signs?
– Mood swings
– Breast tenderness
– Heavy or painful periods
– Bloating or water retention
– Irritability or rage before your period
– Mid-cycle spotting or PMS flares

You don’t fix oestrogen dominance by “lowering oestrogen”.

You fix it by restoring balance.

And that starts with understanding the full picture...not just chasing hormone levels.

You’re eating clean.

You’re taking the supplements.

You think you’re doing everything right.

But this one habit is quietly aging your hormones by a decade...

And no one’s warning you about it:

👉 Chronic under-recovery.

Not resting. Not pausing. Not downshifting.

🚫 Not sleeping deeply
🚫 Not honoring your cycle’s natural ebbs
🚫 Not managing stress in a regulated way
🚫 Not eating enough to match your output
🚫 Not allowing your nervous system to exhale

Your body interprets this nonstop “go-mode” as a threat.

And your hormones adapt by:
– Stealing from progesterone
– Flattening cortisol
– Delaying ovulation
– Shifting thyroid output
– Holding onto fat for safety

It’s not just about what you’re doing.

It’s about what you’re not giving yourself permission to stop doing.

Want younger-feeling hormones?

Start with nervous system safety, not supplements.

Oh cool, let me just go ahead and relax my way out of ostrogen dominance, progesterone deficiency, and cortisol dysregulation. 🙃

✨ If it were that simple, most of us would be healed by now.

Hormone imbalances are real.

They’re physiological.

And they’re often rooted in nervous system overload, nutrient depletion, gut dysfunction, and blood sugar chaos.

You don’t need to “chill out.”

You need real support.

🚩Mood swings.
🚩Tears out of nowhere.
🚩Irritability so intense it surprises even you.

You’ve been told it’s “just PMS.”👀

🔑But here’s the truth:

It’s not just your mood.

It’s your hormones - out of sync.

What could be driving it?
→ Estrogen dominance
→ Low progesterone
→ Blood sugar crashes
→ Poor hormone detox
→ Cortisol dysregulation from chronic stress

These patterns don’t just mess with your cycle -

They mess with your mind, your energy, and your ability to feel like you.

And no, the answer isn’t “take a deep breath.”

It’s root-cause support.

Your hormones aren’t working against you.

They’re trying to tell you something.

You’ve heard all about magnesium, omega-3s, and Vitex.

But one of the most underrated nutrients for hormone health?

👉 Vitamin B6.

And no — it’s not just for “energy.”

B6 plays a critical role in:
– Making progesterone (aka your calming, cycle-regulating hormone)
– Supporting dopamine + serotonin (hello, mood stability)
– Helping your liver clear estrogen
– Reducing PMS symptoms like bloating, cravings, irritability, and anxiety

Low B6 can quietly drive symptoms like:
– Cyclical anxiety or rage
– Pre-period insomnia
– Histamine sensitivity
– Mid-luteal energy crashes
– Hormonal acne that flares with your cycle

Most people are never tested for it.

Even fewer are supplementing it in the right form.

💊 Look for P5P (pyridoxal-5-phosphate) - the active form your body can actually use.

🥬 Bonus points if you’re also getting B2, magnesium, and zinc - they work together.

This is the kind of hormone support that actually moves the needle.
