Welcome to the Hormone Reset!
Let’s start by understanding what hormones actually are.

Hormones are your body’s chemical messengers. After being made in one part of the body, they travel to other parts of the body where they help control how cells and organs do their work. 

For women, the main reproductive hormones include:

  • Estrogen
  • Progesterone
  • Testosterone

But there’s more to the story — other hormones like insulin, thyroid, and cortisol (stress hormone) play critical roles in your mood, weight, energy, menstrual, and overall health.

Now, Let’s Talk

Hormones are often blamed for our mood swings, breakouts, weight gain, or fatigue but only a few of us actually know how they work.

Your body has over 50 hormones, each acting like a messenger — moving through your bloodstream, delivering instructions to every organ, telling them what to do, when, and how much.

The Hormones You Need to Know:

Estrogen

Regulates your menstrual cycle, supports mood, skin, bone health — but too much (or not detoxed properly) can lead to fibroids, PMS, or weight gain.

Progesterone

Keeps you calm, supports sleep, and balances estrogen. It often drops first in stress or perimenopause, leaving estrogen unopposed.

Testosterone

Often associated with men, but in women it helps with libido, motivation, and bone strength. Too little = low drive; too much = PCOS symptoms.

Cortisol

Your main stress hormone. High when you’re anxious, busy, overwhelmed. Chronic cortisol overload can wreck all other hormones.

 Insulin

Manages blood sugar. Too much = insulin resistance, which leads to belly fat, inflammation, fatigue, and hormone chaos.

Thyroid Hormones

Control your metabolism, energy, hair, and body temperature. Low thyroid = slow, tired, puffy. This is often misdiagnosed as depression or laziness.

All these hormones are produced by different glands in the body but they all must work together in harmony. When one is disrupted, all the others get disrupted too. And that’s why we have hormonal imbalance.

For example, insulin is a hormone that’s made by the beta cells in the pancreas. When it’s released into the blood, insulin helps regulate how the cells of the body use glucose (a type of sugar) for energy.

When insulin is too high, it throws your sex hormones into a state of disarray. One of the reasons for infertility.

Hormonal imbalance is an individual matter and must be handled as such.
