Because “hormonal” doesn’t mean broken — it means alive.
Your hormones aren’t trying to mess with you.
They’re not your enemy.
They’re your messengers — intelligent chemical signals designed to help your body adapt, respond, and thrive.
And yet, many of us feel confused, frustrated, or dismissed when we say:
- “I’m exhausted for no reason.”
- “I can’t lose weight no matter what I do.”
- “My cycle is a mystery — and a rollercoaster.”
- “My motivation disappeared.”
Often, the root is hormonal.
And the solution isn’t “just relax” or “take this pill.”
It’s understanding your own biology.
🧬 What Are Hormones, Really?
Hormones are chemical messengers created by glands like your thyroid, ovaries, adrenals, pancreas, and brain.
They influence:
- Energy
- Sleep
- Metabolism
- Mood
- Libido
- Skin
- Digestion
- Memory
- Reproductive cycles
… basically everything that makes you you.
🚦Your Hormones Talk in Patterns — Here’s How to Listen
If you’ve ever been told your labs are “normal,” but you feel anything but — you’re not crazy.
Most lab ranges are wide, outdated, and based on averages — not optimal ranges for thriving.
When I look at hormone panels, I’m looking at relationships and ratios, not just numbers. For example:
| Hormone | What It Tells Me |
|---|---|
| Cortisol | Are you wired, tired, or both? |
| Progesterone | Is your nervous system supported or overwhelmed? |
| Estrogen | Is it clearing properly or building up? |
| T3 / T4 / rT3 | Is your thyroid driving or dragging your energy? |
| DHEA | How’s your resilience & repair capacity? |
| Insulin | Is your body metabolically safe & stable? |
🔍 Symptoms That Often Have Hormonal Roots
- PMS that makes you unrecognizable
- Midday energy crashes
- Anxiety that cycles monthly
- Weight gain that doesn’t respond to effort
- Insomnia (especially at 2–4am)
- Low libido or emotional numbness
- Brain fog or forgetfulness
If these are part of your story, your hormones may be signaling imbalance — not failure.
