Your Hormones Aren't Your Enemy


Listen Later

What if your hormone symptoms weren’t signs of failure—but messages asking for support?

In this eye-opening episode, Coach Angela Herren invites you to reframe hormonal chaos—not as something to fix, but something to understand.

If you've ever struggled with fatigue, mood swings, low libido, weight gain, or irregular cycles, this is the episode you didn’t know you needed.

We break down the science of hormone imbalance with compassion and clarity, explaining why your body isn’t fighting you—it’s fighting for you. 

You’ll learn how stress, sleep, sugar, gut health, and toxins influence everything from metabolism to mood. And most importantly? You’ll see how to work with your hormones—not against them.

Angela shares practical tips rooted in trauma-informed care and functional medicine, plus her signature blend of real talk and real tools to help you finally feel like yourself again.

What You’ll Learn in This Episode:

  • Why hormone chaos is often a stress signal—not a hormone problem

  • What your body is really trying to tell you with fatigue, acne, anxiety, or PMS

  • How gut health, blood sugar, and sleep play secret roles in hormone balance

  • What your “hormone group chat” is—and how to get everyone talking again

  • How functional lab testing (like DUTCH and GI-MAP) reveals hidden imbalances

  • Why chronic stress makes sex hormones disappear (and how to stop the steal)

  • Hormonal besties, codependents, and frenemies: the hormone relationships you need to know

  • How to support your hormones with food, breath, rest, nature, and joy

Your hormones aren’t betraying you. They’re texting you for help. It’s time we learned how to read the message.”

Angela will also guide you through a quick breath check-in, helping you shift from stress to safety right now.

Challenge of the Week: Pick one simple shift to support your hormones:

  • Swap one toxic product in your home

  • Walk outside for 10 minutes daily

  • Replace coffee with water before 10am

  • Add cruciferous veggies daily for detox

  • Skip perfection and listen to what your body needs

Tune in and find out why your hormones are your friend—not your enemy.
