If you experience brain fog, forgetfulness, or mental fatigue during the second half of your cycle, it’s likely tied to your hormones... not just stress or “mom brain.”

Right after ovulation, estrogen drops and progesterone rises. While progesterone is calming, it can also slow cognition when it's not well balanced. This is especially true if there’s inflammation or adrenal dysfunction in the picture.

Supporting progesterone naturally and reducing inflammation can dramatically improve mental clarity and reduce that “wired but tired” feeling.

Yes, hormone shifts can change how and where your body stores fat, especially around the midsection. But that does not mean the scale is out of your control or that your metabolism is “broken.”

• Protecting and rebuilding muscle💪
• Eating enough protein + fiber to stabilize blood sugar🥩
