Hormone Health Class: Period Tips for Millennial Moms
Welcome to Hormone Health Class — where we make hormones make sense. Hosted by Vanda Aubrey, Functional Medicine Nurse and Board Certified Nurse Coach, this podcast is your go-to space to finally understand your body, balance your hormones naturally, and feel like yourself again. Whether you're struggling with painful periods, infertility, mood swings, fatigue, PMS, or feel like your hormones are running the show — you're in the right place. Inside each episode, you'll get practical tips, hormone education, and empowering strategies to help you have easier periods, better moods, and more energy — without restrictive diets or guessing games. From fertility to postpartum to thriving in your 30s and beyond, think of this as the class you actually needed but never got. Because you run your life — not your period. On this podcast, I answer questions like: How can I fix my painful or heavy periods naturally? What causes PMS and how do I get rid of it? Are my periods too heavy? How to fix heavy periods? How do I balance my hormones after having a baby? Why do I feel bloated and moody before my period? Why am I so tired all the time even though my labs are normal? How can I increase my energy without cutting out all my favorite foods? What is estrogen dominance and how do I know if I have it? How can I support my hormones to prepare for pregnancy? Do I really need to go on birth control to "fix" my hormones? What is the best diet for healthy hormones? How can I support my thyroid naturally? What are the root causes of hormone imbalance?
