What this episode covers
In this kickoff episode of a very informative three-part mini series, I pulls back the curtain on your hormonal symphony—the key players behind your cravings, fatigue, breakouts, mood swings, and more. If you’ve ever said, “I feel broken, like nothing works for me anymore,” this episode is your first step toward understanding that you're not broken—you're biologically out of sync. I introduce the key hormones like estrogen, progesterone, testosterone, insulin, cortisol, and thyroid hormones through a relatable dinner party analogy that makes these complex processes feel simple, even empowering. You’ll also learn the differences between the three types of estrogen—estradiol, estrone, and estriol—and how these can shift with PCOS, insulin resistance, or different stages of life. This is the foundation you wish you were taught in health class.
