So many women are told their hormones are "off" and sent home with birth control and no real explanation. I know that was my story. But hormones are chemical messengers: they respond to signals from the rest of your body. When they're out of balance, it's a sign something deeper needs support.

In this episode, I break down the seven main things I look at in my practice that impact your hormones, so you can see the bigger picture and know there's something you can do about it.

In this episode, we cover:

• Why hormone imbalance is a symptom, not the root cause
• How your gut affects estrogen detox (and why I always start there)
• Your liver's role in hormone detox and thyroid conversion
• Everyday toxins, endocrine disruptors, and a slow-and-steady way to reduce them
• How stress, cortisol, and your nervous system affect your hormones
• Why blood sugar balance might be the most impactful dietary change you can make
• The nutrients your body needs to build hormones
• How your thyroid and sex hormones interact
