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.

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.

❌You don’t have a broken body.
✅You have an adaptive one.

That anxiety, fatigue, cycle chaos, or skin flare-up?

❌It’s not your body malfunctioning.
✅It’s your body trying to protect you.

Most people think hormone imbalance means your levels are “wrong.”

But in functional medicine, we ask:

Why did your body make that shift in the first place?

→ Chronic stress = estrogen goes up, progesterone drops
→ Blood sugar crashes = cortisol stays on
→ Perceived threat = ovulation pauses to conserve energy
→ Gut dysfunction = hormones can’t be cleared

These symptoms look like dysfunction on the surface.

But under the hood? It’s intelligent compensation.

Your hormones aren’t working against you.

They’re buying you time.

📊 Functional medicine isn’t about shutting symptoms down -

It’s about listening to them.
