#618: The Everyday Hormone Project - Teaching You to Trust Yourself Again
You know that feeling when you just want to pause, look back, and ask yourself, "What felt good these last few months? What didn't? What habits stuck, and which ones were maybe just a 'right now' thing?"
That's the energy I brought into today's episode, and it turned into what I think is one of the most important conversations we've had on this podcast.
Here's what I cover:
Why we fragment ourselves by symptom and lose sight of the whole picture of holistic health
How symptoms are data, not a diagnosis
The endocrine system and digestive system connection: how supporting one system can resolve multiple symptoms at once (I walk through real examples: hair loss, constipation, PMS, brain fog, fatigue, reflux
The 3:00 AM wake-up call: why it's not automatically "high cortisol" or "just perimenopause," and what questions you should actually be asking (hint: it starts with your morning, not your night)
Blood sugar, fasting, and why some of you are going 15–16 hours without eating and wondering why you feel terrible
Hormone replacement therapy: my personal experience at 47, why I started progesterone, what's shifting now, and why I don't believe HRT is the only answer
How to track your symptoms with detail so that when you sit down with a practitioner, you're giving them gold instead of "I just don't feel good"
Why I only work one-to-one with women who've already gone through my foundational programs
Let's dive in!
