Still Not Sure What’s Behind Your Hormone Symptoms? Take the first step to balance your hormones naturally with my FREE Hormone Symptom Profile Assessment: https://bit.ly/takemyhormonequiz

The average woman spends six years searching for relief from hormone symptoms.

AI can’t speed that up.

Sure, it can plan your vacation, rewrite your resume, and even suggest a pretty good taco recipe.:)

But when it comes to balancing your hormones? That’s way above its pay grade.

Because while ChatGPT can piece together generic hormone-balancing tips from online surveys, TikTok trends, blogs, and whatever else it can scrape from the internet and present as a “tailor-made” solution, it doesn’t understand your health history, your lifestyle, or the root cause of your symptoms.

(And that’s a pretty big problem when you're trying to navigate hormones that can shift daily!)

In today’s episode, I’m breaking down "5 Things ChatGPT Can’t Tell You About Balancing Hormones in Perimenopause and Menopause."

In this episode, you’ll learn:

✔ Why generic advice could be sabotaging your hormone healing

✔ Why your hormones need personalization, not algorithm-sourced solutions

✔ What AI completely misses when it comes to your stress levels and hormone health

✔ Why what worked last year (or even last week) may not be working now (and why that's normal!)

✔ What actually creates lasting hormone balance (hint: it's not a copy-paste wellness plan)

If you’re tired of getting health advice from a robot who has no clue what a hot flash actually feels like, this episode is for you. 🎧

We do it every 8 minutes. (And no, it’s not peeing, although that might also be true.:)

This week, we’re talking about something that might be secretly sabotaging your hormones every single day.

It’s not your diet. It’s not your wine. It’s not even your overflowing to-do list.

👉 It’s your screen. Or more specifically… the scroll.

Because while social media might seem harmless (or even helpful, depending on who you follow), it could be raising your cortisol, tanking your progesterone, and sending your sleep, mood, and metabolisminto a full-blown hormone spiral.

In this episode, I’m pulling back the curtain on how your phone habits may be contributing to hormone imbalance in perimenopause and menopause—and what you can do to interrupt the scroll without hurling your iPhone into a lake.

If your idea of “unplugged” is charging your phone in another room, this episode is for you. 🎧

✨ Take the First Step To Balance Your Hormones Naturally With My FREE Hormone Symptom Profile Assessment: https://bit.ly/takemyhormonequiz

You’re not crying in traffic because you’re crazy.

You’re not snapping at your family because you’re unstable.

You’re just living in a body that’s shifting—and no one explained what that would feel like.

Let’s be honest: Doctors are trained to treat clinical depression.

But most were never taught how perimenopause and menopause can impact our mood—or how symptoms of hormone imbalance like sadness, irritability, and emotional overwhelm can overlap with what looks like mental health issues.

Maybe you recently saw your GP, and she gave you a prescription for an SSRI without ever talking about your hormones.

Or maybe you’ve been taking an antidepressant for a while and are wondering if it’s actually helping.

If you’ve been medicating your mood but not seeing real healing, it’s time for a deeper look.

In this episode, you will learn:

✔How hormone changes in midlife can mimic depression (and why your doctor may miss it)

✔ What SSRIs are actually designed to treat—and what they’re not

✔ How symptoms like brain fog, exhaustion, and night sweats are related to emotional health

✔ What no one’s asking in your doctor’s office—but absolutely should

✔ The 3 red flags that your prescription might be masking a hormone imbalance

✔ Why your bloodwork might say “normal” even when everything feels off

✔ The sneaky difference between coping and healing (and how to tell which you’re doing)

✔ What to ask before refilling your SSRI (that your doctor may have missed the first time)

Plus, learn how Hormone Symptom Profiling can uncover the hormonal root cause of your emotional symptoms.

If you’ve ever said, “I just don’t feel like me anymore” or are wondering why you’re still struggling…even though you’re on an antidepressant…this episode is for you!
