## Resource

In this episode, I’m joined by naturopathic doctor Dr. Saru Bala for a refreshing, no-nonsense conversation about women’s hormone health. We break down what your hormones are actually doing throughout your cycle, why so many women feel exhausted, moody, or “off,” and how stress, blood sugar, sleep, and daily habits play a much bigger role than we’re often told. Dr. Bala shares practical, evidence-based ways to support your hormones without quick fixes or fear-based messaging, from rethinking birth control conversations to simple shifts that can help your body feel more regulated and resilient. If you’ve ever felt confused by all the hormone noise online, this episode is here to bring clarity and empowerment. Make sure to hit follow/subscribe so you never miss an episode!
