In this episode, we explore the profound link between sex hormone imbalances and mental health issues like mood swings, irritability, depression, and low libido.

Key points:

- Hormonal fluctuations, especially in women during menstruation, perimenopause, and menopause, can trigger mental health challenges.

- In men, low testosterone levels can contribute to depression, low libido, and loss of muscle mass.

- The delicate balance of estrogen, progesterone, and testosterone within the menstrual cycle impacts mood, energy, and creativity.

- Monitoring one's cycle and adjusting routines accordingly can help manage hormonal shifts.

- Potential triggers for hormone imbalances include stress, inflammation, gut dysfunction, and chemical exposure.

- Estrogen dominance, progesterone deficiency, PMDD and PCOS are discussed, with tips on seed cycling, reducing endocrine disruptors, and managing stress.
