In this episode of Hello Hormones, I sit down with Dr. Tyna Moore to talk about the messy, confusing middle of perimenopause and why traditional advice...

Everyone talks about hot flashes and night sweats. But what about the symptoms that make you wonder if you’re just losing your mind?

You go to the doctor. You get labs done. You’re told you’re “fine.”

In this episode of Hello Hormones, I break down 4 surprising signs your estrogen may be too low—like thinning hair, bloating, acne, and a total 180 in your mood. If yo...

You asked your doctor to “test everything”—hormones, thyroid, nutrients—and they said, “You’re fine.” But you don’t feel fine. You’re still tired, gaining weight, feeling anxious, not sleeping, or just not you anymore. Spoiler alert: basic labs often miss what’s really going on.

In this episode of Hello Hormones, I break down why “normal” doesn’t always mean optimal, especially for women in their 30s, 40s,...

If your hormones have been throwing tantrums lately—hello mood swings, weight changes, fatigue, and wild periods—you’re not alone. And no, it’s not just “getting older.” In this episode of Hello Hormones, I’m sharing the 5 biggest things I wish I had done sooner to support my hormones—so you don’t have to learn the hard way.

If you've skipped your period for 6, 9, or even 11 months and you're still waiting to hit that magical 12-month mark that makes it “official,” you're in what I call stage 3. And while the guidelines don’t formally recognize this phase, it’s one of the most intense, confusing, and overlooked stages of all.

In this episode of Hello Hormones, I explain why this critical time—what I lovingly call “the final co...

In this episode of Hello Hormones, I break down what happens in stage 2, why it can feel confusing or even scary, and what to expect over the next 1–3 years as your body transitions toward menopause.
