696. Why You Have Mood Swings & How To Deal With Them


Listen Later

Do you ever feel like you’re trapped in a body that’s having wild emotional responses for no reason? Like one moment you’re calm, and the next, you’re completely overwhelmed? You’re not alone.

Mood swings can feel like a rollercoaster—sudden anger, tears, or irritability that seem to come out of nowhere. But here’s the thing: it’s not “all in your head,” and you’re not overreacting. Your body may be signaling deeper imbalances.

Mood swings aren’t just a simple A + B = C equation. Women’s physiology is incredibly complex, and factors like hormone imbalances, nutrient deficiencies, and stress play a major role. Here are some common culprits:

  • Hormonal Imbalances: Issues with estrogen processing or progesterone levels often show up on advanced hormone tests like the DUTCH test.
  • Adrenal Stress: Elevated cortisol (your stress hormone) can throw your emotional balance off.
  • Nutrient Deficiencies: Lacking key vitamins or minerals can exacerbate mood swings.
  • Sleep Issues: Poor-quality sleep leaves you emotionally vulnerable.

Severe mood swings don’t just affect you—they can ripple through your relationships, work, and overall well-being. One client described feeling like Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde, losing patience with her kids and spouse, and even jeopardizing lifelong friendships.

Your mood swing road map: 

  • Testing is Key: A comprehensive hormone test can pinpoint the root causes of your mood swings.
  • Support Your Liver: Estrogen is processed through the liver, and if it’s sluggish, emotions like anger can build up.
  • Tailored Nutrition: Small tweaks to your diet can make a huge difference in how you feel.
  • Stress Management: Addressing adrenal fatigue can stabilize your emotional responses.

You don’t have to live at the mercy of your mood swings. With the right tools, you can regain control and feel like yourself again.
