Here’s the truth most people don’t want to hear: the secret to balanced hormones isn’t in a miracle pill or trendy hack. It’s in the boring basics.

As a women’s health and hormone expert, I want to make sure you’re doing these three simple things consistently.

Prioritize Protein & Real Food

If you’re skipping meals, cutting carbs, or living off coffee and snacks, your hormones are running on empty. Your body needs steady fuel to support hormonal and metabolic functions.

  • Aim for protein with every meal

  • Avoid processed and sugary foods

  • Eat consistently throughout the day

I don’t overthink it—sometimes I prep meals myself, and sometimes I grab healthy options from a local meal service. And I always have a backup in the fridge or freezer, because life happens. My kids have definitely eaten the lunch I was planning to save more times than I can count. 

Get Serious About Sleep

Sleep is a hormonal reset button. If you are up late scrolling or surrounded by bright lights, your body struggles to regulate essential hormones like cortisol and melatonin.

  • Wind down with dim lighting

  • Read a real book (not a screen)

  • Only use sleep support after you’ve established a good routine

Move (But Keep It Gentle)

Forget “go hard or go home.” Your nervous system doesn’t always want a 90-minute bootcamp. When I’m feeling fatigued or overwhelmed, I focus on:

  • A 10–15 minute walk

  • Stretching or restorative yoga

  • Listening to my body and resting when I need it

Movement isn’t punishment—it’s a privilege. 

The final layer to these basics:
