After seeing a flood of questions online, we wanted to take a moment to reset the conversation—from how hormones are made in the first place to why light, stress, sleep, and nutrition often need to be addressed before reaching for supplements or bioidenticals. We dive into our own stories of adrenal fatigue and flatlined hormones, the real reasons your body might not be making progesterone, and why the HRT conversation can’t be one-size-fits-all. We also explore how blood sugar, nervous system signals, and even artificial light can influence everything from perimenopause symptoms to weight gain. If you’re wondering why “doing more” isn’t helping—or why sweet potatoes somehow became controversial online—this one’s for you.
