Estrogen dominance isn’t usually caused by having too much estrogen. 📢

It’s usually caused by what your body is not clearing effectively and/or your estrogen to progesterone ratio. ⚖️

Happy Friday! 😂😜

February is all about supporting the systems that keep your hormones steady. 😌

Cold months place more demand on the body. Blood sugar is more fragile. Cortisol runs higher. Detox pathways can slow.
That’s why what you consistently eat matters!

Here are some top produce picks for happy hormones, chosen for one reason: they support regulation.

🍊 Oranges & Lemons: Vitamin C is foundational for adrenal health and cortisol balance. Citrus also supports liver detox pathways and improves iron absorption, which is critical for menstruating women and those with fatigue, heavy periods, or low energy.

🥬 Kale: Rich in magnesium, folate, and fiber, leafy greens help calm the nervous system, support estrogen metabolism, and promote regular elimination. When estrogen can leave the body efficiently, symptoms often soften.

🥦 Broccoli: Cruciferous vegetables provide compounds that support healthy estrogen processing in the liver. This matters for PMS, cycle irregularity, acne, and estrogen-dominant symptoms. Cooked is often better tolerated in winter.

🍠 Sweet Potatoes: Complex carbohydrates are not the enemy
of hormones. They stabilize blood sugar, support thyroid function, and play a role in progesterone production. Skipping carbs can increase cortisol and worsen cycle symptoms.

🫜 Beets: Beets support liver detoxification and circulation, helping the body process hormones more efficiently. They also provide antioxidants that support overall inflammatory balance.

🥑 Avocados: Hormones are made from fat. Avocados provide healthy fats that support hormone production, insulin sensitivity, and nervous system stability.

🥕 Carrots: Another fiber-rich option that supports estrogen clearance and blood sugar stability, especially when paired with fat or protein.

❤️ Pomegranates: Antioxidant-rich and supportive of ovarian
and cardiovascular health, pomegranates help reduce inflammation and oxidative stress that can disrupt hormonal signaling.

Adding these food into your diet will help support hormones for the long term.

Midlife doesn’t change just one body. It changes the relationship ecosystem.

Hormones are shifting. Energy is different. Stress lands faster.
Sleep isn’t what it used to be. And at the same time, couples are juggling careers, kids, aging parents, health changes, and big questions about the future.

That combination can reshape how a marriage feels, even when love, commitment, and good intentions are still there.

When couples learn what’s happening beneath the surface:
➡️ they stop personalizing every reaction they communicate with more patience
➡️ they update expectations instead of holding each other to outdated ones
➡️ they work with biology instead of against it

Midlife is a season that asks for new conversations, new support agreements, and more teamwork, not blame.

Most women know estrogen and progesterone are major hormones. Estrogen typically gets top priority, with progesterone playing a supporting role.

However in reality, the two hormones are equally important.

Progesterone balances estrogen and does much more in a healthy body than many women realize.

Menopause is not the end of your health story.
It’s a turning point.

When you understand estrogen—and stop dismissing your symptoms—you stop fighting your body and start working with it. Whether that includes lifestyle changes, hormone therapy, or both, the goal is the same:

To feel strong.
Clear.
Capable.
And fully at home in your body again.

Menopause isn’t the closing chapter.
It’s the rewrite. And this time, you’re in control.

The Estrogen Shift No One Prepared You For As you move through perimenopause and into menopause, your ovaries gradually reduce estrogen production. This isn’t a gentle fade-out—it’s more like a messy remix. That hormonal instability can show up as: Hot flashes and night sweats Mood swings, anx...

Hormonal changes don’t always announce themselves with irregular cycles or dramatic symptoms.

More often, they show up quietly in a way you might interpret as “stress” or “being busy”

Your body sends these early signals, and each one reflects how cortisol, thyroid, insulin, and estrogen are interacting behind the scenes.

These signals are our bodies trying to tell us something is off.

What is your body trying to tell you today?
