Have you been on hormonal birth control? I have and I know that it's so common to be on birth control for hormone issues, to prevent pregnancy, or kind of just because sometimes. Today I'm diving into the true BTS of hormonal birth control. How does it really work in your brain and body? Did you know it can affect things like who you choose as a mate, how you learn, and even your mood and personality? I love this quote from the book "This is Your Brain on Birth Control" that says "Changing women's hormones changes women." I couldn't agree more and that's why I'm here - to help you change your hormones for the better so you can thrive.

It’s day 3 of the Hormone Real Talk Bootcamp and today I dove into some of the most causes of PMS symptoms – like estrogen dominance – as well as less common conditions such as changes in the GABA response in the body due to progesterone.Rather than just masking symptoms, my holistic approach focuses on addressing the underlying imbalances through nourishment and lifestyle choices and that’s what we talk about in the second half of this episode.Tomorrow's episode will provide more strategies for supporting metabolism, gut health, and reducing inflammation – which are key to balancing hormones long-term – so don’t forget to come back tomorrow for the final day of the Hormone Real Talk Bootcamp! In this episode:[01:32] What PMS and PMDD are + what's normal and what’s NOT[05:39] Hormone imbalances that cause PMS and how to fix them[06:59] A holistic approach to managing PMS and balancing hormonesRESOURCES MENTIONEDRESTORED: podcast mini-course on blood sugar balanceNourish Your Hormones Course: a step-by-step blueprint for balanced hormonesLET’S CONNECT!Instagram: @leishadrewsRead my story + get more hormone resources at my websiteUse the code HHPODCAST for $50 off Nourish Your Hormones ...Disclaimer: Information shared on this podcast and any referenced websites are not to be taken as medical advice or to be used as a diagnosis or treatment plan for any medical condition.

Welcome back to the Happily Hormonal Podcast – and day 2 of the Hormone Real Talk Bootcamp!In this episode, I’m sharing the link between low energy and hormone imbalances: stress. Chronic stress puts the body in "survival mode" where it prioritizes stress hormones over sex hormones, leading to issues like low progesterone. Blood sugar imbalance can also trigger cortisol spikes and leave us feeling drained.The good news is nourishment can help reset this cycle.

Welcome to Day 1 of the Hormone Real Talk Bootcamp. This episode is an overview of how hormones work throughout your menstrual cycle - TBH you should have learned this a LONG time ago, in middle school or at least at your first OBGYN appointment.I’m going deep into common symptoms seen at different cycle phases, like increased libido and cervical fluid around ovulation, or how symptoms like PMS, cramps, and mood changes can indicate hormone imbalance – and how we can handle that naturally, aka without birth control. If you're not a newbie to this you could still learn something so stick around for a crash course refresher.Tomorrow's episode will be about how stress affects sex hormones and ways to reduce stress for long-term hormone balance, so don’t forget to come back tomorrow for that one. Want to be a challenge VIP?
