Thyroid Trouble? Start with the Hormones Calling the Shots (Episode #4)
If you’ve tried to balance your hormones and still feel “off,” you’re not alone.
You might just be focusing on the wrong hormones first.
In this episode of Vital Balance, Jess walks you through the hormone hierarchy—a must-know framework that explains why trying to “fix” estrogen, progesterone, or thyroid issues won’t work if higher-tier hormones like cortisol and insulin aren’t regulated first.
You’ll get a clear, empowering primer on how hormones work as a system in the body—and how your choices, mindset, and environment shape that system daily.
We’ll cover:
- What the hormone hierarchy actually is—and why some hormones have more influence than others
- Why cortisol and insulin should be prioritized before downstream hormones can regulate
- What role oxytocin plays in making your body feel safe enough to heal
- How this knowledge can reshape the way you approach stress, food, and exercise
- Simple, foundational habits to start supporting your hormonal hierarchy today
This is the episode that could help all the pieces fall into place.
🎧 Tune in if:
- You’ve been trying to fix your period, PMS, or perimenopause without much progress
- You’re doing “everything right” and still feel tired, foggy, or just not yourself
- You want to finally understand how hormones really work—without the fluff or overwhelm
