If you’ve ever been told your hormonal symptoms are “normal” this episode will change that.

Hormone imbalances don’t happen out of nowhere — they’re your body’s feedback system, reacting to stress, under-fueling, gut health, toxins, and sleep. In this kickoff to Season 2 of The Metabolic Edit, I’m breaking down what’s really behind fatigue, mood swings, weight changes, low libido, and cycle issues — and what you can actually do about it.

You’ll learn:

  • Hormones 101: what cortisol, thyroid, estrogen, progesterone, and testosterone actually do
  • Red flags that your hormones are off
  • Six hidden saboteurs: what's really messing with your hormone.
  • How to test (don’t guess) to see what is going on with your hormones
  • Simple daily shifts to bring your hormones back to an optimal state

Your hormones aren’t broken — they’re responding. Once you understand the root cause, you can finally get them working for you again.
