Holiday stress causes more than just a change in your mood — it’s a hormonal trigger.

Did you know that 8 in 10 Americans say that the expectations and events of the season increase their stress levels? And when stress rises, so does cortisol, which can disrupt sleep, spike cravings, and mess with your cycle.

Want to stay balanced this season? Follow along for hormone-friendly tips.

P.S. Don't forget to take the hormone quiz at drfinker.com to learn if you have a hidden hormone imbalance.

Want to enjoy holiday meals without crashing your mood, energy, or hormones?⁠
⁠
Try building your plate like this:⁠
⁠
🥦 ½ non-starchy veggies: Think greens, Brussels sprouts, roasted carrots⁠
🍗 ¼ protein: Turkey, eggs, legumes, or nuts⁠
🍠 ⅛ complex carbs: Sweet potatoes, quinoa, squash⁠
🥑 ⅛ healthy fats: Olive oil*, avocado, nuts, seeds⁠
⁠
💡Pro tip: Eat your protein and healthy fats first to keep your blood sugar steady and avoid that post-meal crash.⁠

Feeling “off” lately … but your labs are fine?

You’re not imagining it. Symptoms such as mood swings, weight gain, irritability, and exhaustion might be stress, but they could also be signs of perimenopause.

The tricky part? They often look exactly the same.

In this video, I'm breaking down how you can spot the difference — by tracking your symptoms to reveal what’s really going on.

Craving fall-inspired comfort food? Here's a great recipe you're sure to love that supports your hormones while providing all the flavors you love.

This Chickpea & Pumpkin Curry from is naturally warming, nutrient-dense, and ideal for hormone support.

Instead of reaching for a sugary treat when stress or hormone shifts hit, try this bowl of goodness that offers:

• Stable energy from plant protein + fiber

• Anti‑inflammatory spices like turmeric & ginger

• Healthy complex carbs (pumpkin & sweet potato) to ease cravings

And as a bonus, you're able to skip sweeteners or processed sauces so your blood sugar doesn’t spike — another way to support both stress response and hormonal balance.
