Love this, it’s time to take care of you 💜
I’ve been on a deep dive into natural hormone support—because your mood swings, sleepless nights and that weird bloaty rage aren’t just "you being crazy." 😬
They’re signs your cool aunt hormone (aka progesterone) might be MIA.
But here’s the kicker: PROGESTERONE is super sensitive.
To stress. To blood sugar spikes. To liver congestion. To xenoestrogens. To basically being a modern woman. So, NO IT’S NOT YOUR FAULT YOUR HORMONES ARE WHACK.
So what’s a gal to do?
Here’s what I’m loving lately to bring her back in:
🌿 Liver love: Your liver is the queen of hormone metabolism. I’m loving warm lemon water, dandelion root tea, nettles, dill-for-days (!) beets, milk thistle and castor oil packs over the womb & liver. Plus dry brushing and self-abhyanga with cooling oils like coconut, monoi and honeysuckle.
🍳 Blood sugar balancing meals: Try more healthy fats, veggies and grassfed or vegetarian protein - like 80-90 grams a day!
🌻 Vitamin B6 + magnesium + zinc: These are the micronutrient fairy godmothers of your luteal phase. (Hello, pumpkin seeds and dark chocolate.) Also, do not skimp on the dates!
🌸 Shatavari, wild yam, maca and chasteberry (Vitex). These are our Ayurvedic and herbal allies for feminine hormone harmony. Make sure to check any contraindications, but I am mad about maca lately.
🧘🏽♀️ Less cortisol, more calm. Daily meditation, alternate nostril breathing and saying no to anything that isn’t a soul yes.
The truth is, our hormonal systems are WISE.
They are mirrors of our relationship with our inner feminine.
This is exactly the kind of thing we go DEEP into in our Ayurveda School.
Our 2026 Level 1 Ayurveda Certification is now open for enrollment – and I want you to know:
This isn’t just another health course.
It’s a portal to becoming the embodied healer you’ve been seeking.
