Hormone health isn’t just for your 20s and 30s—It’s the foundation for your vitality at all ages.

Whether you’re preparing for perimenopause or already navigating it, your daily habits can either support your hormones or stress them out.

The truth? You don’t need a 15-step morning routine or an extreme protocol.

✨ These habits are simple, sustainable, and powerful when practiced consistently.

They support:
✔️ Balanced estrogen + progesterone during cycling years
✔️ Smoother transitions into your 40s and 50s
✔️ Better energy, mood, sleep, and skin
✔️ A more graceful, grounded experience of aging

Start with the ones you’re already doing, and gently build from there. Your future self will thank you 🤍

Hormone support doesn’t have to be overwhelming.

In fact, the most powerful changes usually start with small, consistent habits—not drastic overhauls. I like to remind myself and my patients all the time: it’s what you do daily that shapes your hormonal health, not what you do once in a while.

The habits in this post may look simple but together, they help regulate your cycle, support detox, reduce PMS, and restore energy. And no, you don’t have to do all of them perfectly to see results.

✨ The more of these habits you gently integrate into your life, the more hormone balance becomes your default state instead of something you’re chasing with willpower and complicated plans.

Here’s how to get started:
1. Identify which ones you’re already doing 👏
2. Choose 3–5 others to begin incorporating
3. Create a plan to weave them into your daily rhythm
4. Save this post to revisit as your habits build

Every time you choose a nourishing meal instead of skipping it, you stabilize blood sugar, regulate cortisol, and signal safety to your nervous system.

Every time you put your phone down and step into the natural light… You reinforce your circadian rhythm, support hormone balance, and reconnect to the present moment.

Every time you set a boundary, say no, go to bed early, take your supplement, breathe deeply… You are telling your body: “I’ve got you.”

Healing doesn’t hinge on one massive breakthrough. It unfolds through hundreds of seemingly insignificant moments, repeated with intention.

So if you’ve been waiting for the perfect time to start over or do it “right,” what if you already are? 

Every small, aligned choice builds momentum. And momentum becomes change.

Let this be your reminder: Healing doesn’t have to be an entire overhaul to be powerful.
Small decisions, every day. That’s where the magic happens. ✨

“Normal” isn’t always optimal, especially when you’re trying to conceive.

If your labs say everything’s fine but your body feels off… listen to that inner knowing. You deserve deeper answers and real support.

Curious about what labs I check first when someone’s struggling with fertility?

The best teas for summer are those that are cooling, hydrating, support digestion, and help the body adapt to heat and stress—all while still being hormone-friendly.

Here’s a roundup of the best teas for summer:

🌿 Peppermint Tea: Naturally cooling and refreshing, peppermint soothes digestion, eases bloating, and calms nausea. It’s delicious over ice with fresh mint and lemon.

🌺 Hibiscus Tea: Tart and antioxidant-rich, hibiscus supports blood pressure, liver detox, and PMS relief. Try it iced with raw honey and orange slices.

🌼 Chamomile Tea: Gentle and calming, chamomile eases stress, promotes restful sleep, and helps regulate cortisol. Brewing it with lavender can up the calming factor!

🫖 Rooibos Tea: Caffeine-free and smooth, rooibos is packed with antioxidants, supports estrogen balance, and promotes glowing skin.

🍋 Lemon Balm Tea: Light and citrusy, lemon balm calms the nervous system and balances mood. This one is perfect over ice with lemon or cucumber slices.

🌿 Nettle Tea: Nutrient-dense and earthy, nettle is rich in iron, magnesium, and calcium to support hormone health, energy, and healthy periods.

🌸 Tulsi (Holy Basil) Tea: An adaptogenic powerhouse, tulsi balances cortisol, supports the thyroid, and reduces inflammation.

These teas refresh and restore, while supporting your hormones, calming your nervous system, and delivering a mineral-rich boost in every sip.

The topic of sun exposure has been a controversial one recently. We’ve been taught to avoid the sun, but it’s also super important for our health and plays a powerful role in hormone regulation, mood support, and more.

As someone who loves the sun, I’m curious about the current discussions in light biology. What I’ve found as I do a deep dive on this topic is actually how layered and nuanced it is.

And that’s exactly what I’m diving into in this week’s newsletter:
☀️How I personally approach sun exposure for myself and my family (especially now, mid-summer)
☀️Our favorite non-toxic sunscreen picks from our NDs
☀️A talk that I loved on the nuances of sun exposure
