722. The Hormone Symptoms You Really Shouldn’t Ignore

How do you actually know if you’re dealing with a hormone issue?

Is it something you just “deal with” because you’ve been told it’s normal, or is your body waving a big flag for help?

I get this question all the time — and honestly, most of us aren’t sure what a “normal” cycle is supposed to look or feel like anymore. That’s why I’m here to break it down for you.

Common Symptoms That Could Mean Your Hormones Are Out of Whack:

  • Fatigue, anxiety, trouble sleeping Could be thyroid, cortisol, melatonin — or a combo.

  • Acne, hair thinning on your scalp, increased facial or body hair Could be androgens (like testosterone) or even cortisol, thyroid, or gut issues.

  • Vaginal dryness + low libido Often connected to androgens and cortisol.

  • Heavy periods, clots, mood swings, breast tenderness, fibroids Hello, estrogen dominance (when estrogen’s too high compared to progesterone).

  • Hot flashes, night sweats, cycle-related bloating Also hormone-related, even if you’re not menopausal.

The tricky part? These symptoms often overlap — and it’s never just one thing.

Your body is incredibly interconnected, and often when one hormone is off, others get pulled out of line too. That’s why band-aid fixes don’t work, and why so many women feel frustrated chasing symptoms without seeing real changes.

So Where Do You Start?

With a system that supports your hormones across the board.

That’s exactly why I created the 14 Day Hormone Reset — a micro-program designed to give you a clear, supportive, and effective starting point.

We’re covering everything from:

  • How to build a hormone-supportive lifestyle

  • What to eat (and when) to support your cycle

  • Morning & nighttime routines that actually move the needle

  • A live coaching call to get your questions answered

  • Personalized voice-note support based on your symptoms

And yes — it works. I’ve had women message me saying they didn’t even realize their period had arrived because their usual PMS mood swings, bloating, and cramps were gone.

Your body is designed to regulate your hormones. It just needs the right support — and that’s what we’re going to do together.
