Ask Diane: Your Hormones Aren't Broken—They're Speaking: The Truth About Healing After 40, 50, and Beyond | S1E8

The information in this program is for educational purposes only and is not intended for the mitigation, cure, or treatment of medical conditions.

Ever feel like your body is speaking a language you don't quite understand?

In this final episode of Season 1 of Healthy You Naturally, Diane answers your most pressing questions about hormones, healing, and how to know when something's "off"—even if your labs say everything's fine.

This isn't about chasing perfect test results. It's about learning to read the signals your body sends—from stubborn weight gain and irritability to brain fog and poor sleep—and knowing how to respond with rhythm, not restriction.

Through her decades of experience and the BodyWELL Method, Diane shares how to stop fearing perimenopause, menopause, or mystery symptoms—and instead, build a foundation of trust, resilience, and long-term support.

Because healing isn't about silencing symptoms. It's about learning to listen to what they're trying to say.

You'll learn:
🌿 How to know if your hormones are off—even without lab testing
🥚 The essential role of daily rhythms like protein-rich breakfasts, bowel movements, and sleep
💥 Why "balancing" hormones doesn't mean controlling them—and what true support actually looks like
🧠 What it really means to reset your hormones naturally (hint: it's not a one-time switch)
🧘‍♀️ The difference between building hormonal resilience vs. maintaining it—and why both matter
💊 Whether you need to take herbs forever—or just during the rough patches
🔥 How to approach perimenopause and menopause without fear (yes, it can feel empowering)
💫 Why feeling vibrant after 50 isn't just possible—it's your right

✨ My takeaway?
"Your hormones aren't broken. They're just overwhelmed. And when you meet them with care instead of control, your body remembers how to feel better—at every age."
