Are your daily habits secretly sabotaging your health and hormones? In this episode of Vital Balance with Jess, we’re breaking down four often-overlooked habits that may be keeping you stuck in cycles of fatigue, cravings, and frustration—without you even realizing it.

These aren’t extreme or complicated fixes. In fact, they’re small, everyday choices that can have a big impact on your hormones and metabolism when addressed.

Here’s what we cover:

1. Skipping breakfast (or not eating a balanced breakfast): Why starting your day with the right fuel sets the tone for blood sugar balance, energy, and hormone stability.
2. Poor sleep quality & sleep hygiene: How disrupted sleep interferes with your circadian rhythm, cortisol levels, and appetite-regulating hormones.
3. Not enough sunlight exposure: Why sunlight (at the right times) is essential for your circadian rhythm, mood, and Vitamin D levels.
4. Too much cardio & not enough strength training: The surprising way exercise imbalance can backfire on hormones.

If you’ve ever wondered why you feel “off” even when you’re trying to be healthy, this episode could help you connect the dots and start making small shifts that add up to big changes.

In this episode of Vital Balance with Jess, we’re tackling the connection between chronic stress and boundaries—especially for high-achieving women who struggle to slow down and say "no." If you’ve ever felt like you’re constantly “on,” trying to be everything for everyone, this conversation is going to hit home.

I’m sharing:

• The physical and hormonal toll of ongoing stress
• Why the body isn't designed to handle chronic stress very well
• How chronic stress and boundaries often collide and what that looks like in real life
• How to take inventory of your boundaries and how to set and keep necessary boundaries in your own life.

We’ll also talk about:

• Why this is especially important if you're a high-achiever and/or people pleaser
• A 6 step process that walks you through boundary setting so you can start today

This episode is about reclaiming your energy—and your life—by learning to say no without guilt, rest without shame, and stop measuring your value by your productivity.

If you’ve tried to balance your hormones and still feel “off,” you’re not alone.
You might just be focusing on the wrong hormones first.

In this episode of Vital Balance, Jess walks you through the hormone hierarchy—a must-know framework that explains why trying to “fix” estrogen, progesterone, or thyroid issues won’t work if higher-tier hormones like cortisol and insulin aren’t regulated first.

You’ll get a clear, empowering primer on how hormones work as a system in the body—and how your choices, mindset, and environment shape that system daily.

We’ll cover:

• What the hormone hierarchy actually is—and why some hormones have more influence than others
• Why cortisol and insulin should be prioritized before downstream hormones can regulate
• What role oxytocin plays in making your body feel safe enough to heal
• How this knowledge can reshape the way you approach stress, food, and exercise
• Simple, foundational habits to start supporting your hormonal hierarchy today

This is the episode that could help all the pieces fall into place.

🎧 Tune in if:

• You’ve been trying to fix your period, PMS, or perimenopause without much progress
• You’re doing “everything right” and still feel tired, foggy, or just not yourself
• You want to finally understand how hormones really work—without the fluff or overwhelm

Have you ever left a doctor’s appointment feeling unsure, unheard, or like something was missing? Many women experiencing symptoms like fatigue, brain fog, blood sugar crashes, mood swings, or hormonal changes are told everything looks “normal”—or that it’s probably just anxiety.

In this episode of Vital Balance with Jess, we explore why so many women feel overlooked and how to begin tuning into your own body with more confidence, clarity, and curiosity.
