The 4 hormone patterns I see in almost every woman I work with. Slide through and see how many sound like you.
Most women I work with have been dealing with these symptoms for years. They’ve been told their labs are normal, their thyroid is fine, their mood is just stress. They’ve tried the diets, adjusted their sleep, done everything ‘right’ and still feel off. I am usually a last resort.
Cortisol dominance is almost always the first domino. When your stress response gets stuck in the on position, everything downstream will be affected, including your thyroid, your s*x hormones, your blood sugar, and your sleep.
Estrogen and progesterone imbalance is the most commonly diagnosed as anxiety (annoying). Progesterone is the first hormone to fall under chronic stress. When it drops, your nervous system loses its primary calming signal. Worse, your labs can look completely normal while your body feels anything but.
Thyroid dysfunction that is hiding behind the other two. TSH staying normal while Free T3 is low is one of the most common patterns I see, and one of the most commonly missed. Standard panels don’t catch it.
Testosterone in women is finally getting some attention. Chronic stress, pregnancy, nursing, hormonal birth control all of it deplete it, resulting in flat moods, zero motivation, low libido, and difficulty building muscle.
These hormones don’t work in isolation; the patterns stack. They drive each other. Which is exactly why treating one thing at a time hasn’t worked.
Comment HORMONES and I’ll send you some resources to start with or we can just talk.
My DMs are open and I actually read them. 🤍
