So welcome to the I'm HormonalPodcast.
I'm Bridget Walton, a women'shormone coach, helping busy,

(00:23):
ambitious women throughpersonalized coaching and
science-fact solutions.
Whether you're working with meone-on-one or you are listening
here, my goal is the same, whichis to help you stop guessing
about your hormone health andstart seeing real progress.
So let's get into it.
This podcast is over two yearsold now, which feels crazy to

(00:46):
me.
We have over 140 episodes.
And what I want to do today isjust spend a couple of minutes
breaking down where you canstart.
What are some episodes that aregonna be helpful for you to
scroll down to and grab?
Because if you're like me, I'mnot gonna scroll down and press
show more episodes four times.
So don't worry, girl.

(01:06):
I've got you.
A lot of you come to I'mHormonal and start listening
because you are dealing withPCOS, irregular periods.
Maybe you are somebody plaguedwith PMS month after month.
If you're somebody who hasreally painful periods or you
have bloating day in and dayout, I'm gonna be sheller, I'm
gonna be talking to you aboutwhat episodes you can jump back

(01:29):
to.
We'll get to that in just asecond.
I also have some resources whereI talk more about the like
mindset side of things, which Ithink is um really important and
not talked about enough.
So if you feel like you have areally perfectionist mindset
around your health, maybe youwant to hear about some common
blind spots that I see with myclients.

(01:51):
Or if you are somebody whoyou're like, damn, I wish I just
had like a little bit morewillpower, a little bit more
discipline, I've got an episodefor you too.
If anything that I just saidresonated with you and you're
like, yeah, I would like to knowwhich episodes to go back to,
then um, go ahead and grab apencil, open up a little notes
app so you can write down whatI'm about to share with you.

(02:14):
Let's kick it off with yourregular periods, unpredictable
periods, or PCOS.
If you fall into any one ofthose categories, then I want
you to check out these episodes50, 54, 55, and 92.
Those are gonna be ones that arereally helpful for you.
As an honorable mention, bloodsugar regulation and blood sugar

(02:37):
stability is so important foryour overall hormonal health,
but also can be a bigcontributing factor to irregular
periods.
So I want you to also check outepisode number 86, where I talk
more about blood sugarstability.
Next, if you are somebody whohas PMS month after month, check

(02:58):
out episodes number 100 andnumber 136.
Or if period pain is what hasgot you down, check out episodes
number 69, 108, and 109.
Super quick admin note what Iusually do is I will have each
week, I'll have one longer formconversation that is a little

(03:21):
bit of a longer episode, andI'll follow it up with a mini
episode because we're adults andyou're driving right now, or
you're picking up your kids, oryou're doing the dishes, or
whatever you're up to.
So sometimes we just need tohear the same thing twice.
So it really sticks.
So that's how these episodes aregoing to be rolling out in the

(03:43):
feed here.
Okay, next up, bloating.
Girl, if this is you, check outepisodes number 98 and 99.
I've got a downloadable resourcefor you in one of those episodes
as well.
And then let's move on to themore mindset-focused episodes.
Because, like I mentioned asecond ago, having a

(04:06):
perfectionist mindset about yourhealth, I mean, while it could
be helpful in other parts oflife, it is not a huge value and
it's not serving you the mostwhen it comes to your health.
So if that sounds like you, goback and check out episode
number 126.
I think you are really going tolike that.

(04:26):
That is one of my mostdownloaded episodes.
Next, if you want to hear aboutcommon blind spots that I see
when new clients come to me orwhen I'm just talking with gals
out and about, check out episodeepisode number 124.
And then last but not least,that little willpower myth.

(04:47):
If you, when I said thatearlier, you thought, oh shoot,
that is me.
Then go ahead and check outepisode number 120.
Really, that's all I've got foryou today.
I just wanted to help make itmake sense what is in the feed,
because you can scroll backthrough a lot of episodes, but
most of you are here for one ofthe reasons that I mentioned.

(05:08):
And so if that's you, now youknow where to go.
If I didn't mention somethingthat is really top of mind for
you, that you're like, Bridget,where are your episodes about X,
Y, or Z?
Girl, send me a message.

If you if you ask me to do anepisode on something, you're

(05:31):
gonna see it like the next week.
So let me know what's on yourmind.
I would love to hear what yourmain takeaways from episodes
that you have already listenedto have been.
And that's all I got.
Best of luck with your healthjourney.
I'm really rooting for you, andI know you can do it.
It's all about getting to theroot cause of what is going on
with your health and making aplan that's tailored to you

(05:55):
that's going to get you closerto your goal.
