Supplements We Talk About

• Vitamin C + Zinc — immune support combo
• Omega-3s — mood and inflammation help
• Magnesium — sleep and stress support
• Ashwagandha — adaptogen for busy, burned-out seasons

I got a DM promising “magic drops” that could balance all my hormones — no intro, just a pitch. So in this episode, I’m breaking down what’s really inside those so-called miracle products, what actually helps your hormones (spoiler: it’s not a bottle), and the real tools worth considering instead.

1. You can’t “drop” your way to hormone balance — consistency beats quick fixes every time.
2. Most of those “miracle” supplements just contain amino acids, adaptogens, and hype.
3. HRT and GLP-1s can be real tools when prescribed and paired with healthy habits.
4. The basics — protein, strength training, sleep, stress management — are your real hormone balancers.
5. Don’t buy weird sh*t off the internet.

Mel shares how a woman in a fat-loss Facebook group inspired this episode — after a year of “starting over every Monday.” When Mel finally called her out, it wasn’t well received… and that moment led to a major mindset shift.

• The “shared misery” Facebook group story
• Why starting over every Monday doesn’t work
• The difference between a restart and a reset
• Three mindset shifts:
  1. Progress > punishment
  2. Add > restrict
  3. Keep small promises
• How to build momentum without perfection
