What Your Hormones Are Trying to Tell You
May 05, 2025
We tend to treat our hormones like a mystery—something we either blame or ignore until they scream loud enough to interrupt our lives.
But your hormones aren’t random.
They’re rhythmic.
They’re responsive.
And they’re trying to communicate with you.
What if the irritability, exhaustion, cravings, or bloating you feel isn’t a problem to fix—but a message to decode?
Hormones Speak in Symptoms
Here’s the thing: your hormones are constantly adapting. They respond to stress, sleep, nourishment, blood sugar, nervous system safety, and even your beliefs.
When they fall out of sync, your body lets you know—often through signs like:
-
Cyclical headaches or hormonal migraines
-
Mood swings or emotional reactivity
-
Insomnia, especially around ovulation or your period
-
Cravings for sugar, salt, or caffeine
-
Bloating, breast tenderness, or heavy bleeds
-
Energy crashes after meals or in the late afternoon
-
Skin changes or adult acne
-
Cycle irregularity or painful periods
None of these make you “too sensitive.”
They mean your body is asking for support.
Common Patterns I See
In my practice, these three hormone stories come up over and over again:
1. Estrogen Dominance or Estrogen Imbalance
Often shows up as PMS, heavy or painful periods, irritability, and weight held in the hips and thighs.
This is frequently linked to poor detoxification, sluggish liver function, and gut imbalances.
2. Cortisol Dysregulation
Think wired-and-tired, poor sleep, and anxiety that feels more physical than mental.
Your nervous system is often in overdrive, pulling your adrenals along with it.
3. Low Progesterone
You might feel anxious, weepy, or struggle with sleep in the luteal phase.
This is commonly connected to chronic stress, undereating, over-exercising, or blood sugar swings.
How to Start Listening
Hormone healing isn’t about quick fixes or trendy supplements. It’s about regulation, nourishment, and rhythm. Here are three shifts you can make:
Eat in alignment with your cycle.
Include protein + healthy fat at every meal to stabilize blood sugar and reduce cortisol.
Regulate your nervous system daily.
Your hormones respond to perceived safety. Breathwork, somatic movement, warm foods, and slower mornings matter more than you think.
Support your detox pathways.
Estrogen doesn’t just disappear—it needs to be metabolized. Think cruciferous veggies, magnesium, gentle sweating, and pooping daily.
What Testing Can Reveal
-
The Stress, Mood & Metabolism Test – to look at estrogen, progesterone, cortisol, DHEA, thyroid, and insulin
-
The Minerals & Metals Test – to assess the mineral cofactors needed for hormone production and detox
-
The Candida, Metabolic & Vitamins Test – for insights into B vitamins, oxidative stress, and gut burden
Together, these tell the story beneath the symptoms—so you’re not guessing or self-diagnosing in the dark.
You’re Not Failing—You’re Flowing
If your hormones feel like chaos right now, I want you to know:
You’re not broken.
You’re being invited into a deeper relationship with your body.
One where healing isn’t forced.
It’s remembered.
