In this episode of the Hormone Happy Hour podcast, I'm explaining to you the core principles that guide how our bodies work—things we probably should've learned in health class but didn't! You’ll understand why your body acts the way it does, especially with hormones and different symptoms. I'll explain how the body prioritizes survival, reproduction, and staying balanced (homeostasis) and how understanding these can help you get better results with your health. We'll also talk about how little changes can make a big difference and the importance of listening to your body's signals.

Basically, it's all about discovering the real basics behind how our bodies are designed to function and thrive. Join me as we begin with the basics of our body’s core design & function and make health a bit easier to understand!

In this episode of the Hormone Happy Hour podcast, I am making this like 'The Secret Life of Health Class,' I dig into the essential hormones that regulate our fertility and overall hormonal health: estrogen and progesterone. Think of this as the health class we all should have gotten when we were younger, but we didn’t. I'll be clearing up common misconceptions and explaining what estrogen and progesterone actually do. From the changes that kick start puberty to the roles these hormones play in mood regulation, libido, and more, I break it all down for you. I also touch on issues like estrogen dominance, low progesterone, and why these imbalances happen. We'll unpack how common solutions like birth control can sometimes mask underlying problems.

This episode is packed with important info you'll need for upcoming episodes on fertility frameworks, libido, and PMS. Get ready to learn what you should have been taught all along!
