Brown spotting for more than a day at the start or end of your period often points to low progesterone, which is one of the most common hormone imbalances in women.

Progesterone is the hormone that rises after ovulation and prepares the uterine lining for a healthy cycle. It’s what gives you a calm, grounded feeling, supports deep sleep, balances estrogen, stabilizes mood, and helps prevent anxiety and PMS symptoms. When progesterone is low, the uterine lining breaks down unevenly, leading to old, oxidized blood that appears brown instead of red. It’s your body’s way of signaling that ovulation may have been weak or stress has disrupted hormone balance that month.

Apply to work 1:1 with me to support healthy progesterone levels, rebalance your hormones naturally, and feel calm, grounded, and in sync with your cycle again.

7 days of simple nervous system + cortisol regulation 🤍

Day 1 🍳 Eat within 1 hour of waking

This lowers morning cortisol and replenishes liver glycogen used overnight. Skipping food keeps stress hormones elevated all day.

Day 2 ⏰ Eat every 3–4 hours
Long

Gaps between meals cause blood sugar crashes, which trigger adrenaline and anxiety. Regular meals signal safety to the nervous system.

Day 3 🥩🍚 Eat enough protein and carbs daily

Aim for your bodyweight in protein and at least 160g of carbs. Protein builds neurotransmitters and hormones, while carbs prevent cortisol from spiking to raise blood sugar.

Day 4 🧈 Include fat at every meal

Fat slows digestion, supports bile flow, and is required for hormone production. Meals without fat digest too fast and destabilize blood sugar.

Day 5 🧂 Salt your food
Sodium

Supports nerve signaling, blood pressure, and glucose transport into cells. Too little salt increases cortisol output.

Day 6 🦋 Regulate through the body

Somatic practices like butterfly tapping, gentle shaking, softening the tongue, and relaxing the eyes tell the brain you are safe, lowering stress hormones.

Day 7 🌅 Protect your circadian rhythm

Consistent sleep and wake times and morning light exposure keep cortisol high in the morning and low at night where it belongs.
