Understanding Hormonal Changes and How to Support Your Body

When it comes to hormonal changes, there’s often more going on than meets the eye. It’s easy to attribute issues like bloating, heavy periods, or worsening PMS to hormonal shifts alone, but to truly understand what’s happening, we need to look at the full picture—your health history, lab results, and lifestyle.



Here’s something more women need to know:


Perimenopause, which marks the transition toward menopause, can begin as early as age 35. During this phase, it’s common for progesterone levels to decline before estrogen, leading to a state where estrogen appears high in comparison.


This hormonal imbalance often causes symptoms like:

  • Worsening PMS

  • Bloating

  • Heavy periods


These aren’t the symptoms many expect when thinking about menopause, but they’re part of the perimenopausal journey.


The good news? We have an extensive toolbox to help support healthy hormones and ease this transition through lifestyle adjustments, nutrition, and supplementation. You don’t have to navigate these changes alone—we’re here to help you feel balanced and supported.
