Are your Mood Swings taking over?

If you're dealing with constant fatigue, unpredictable mood swings, irregular periods, weight that won't budge, or restless sleep, your hormones are likely trying to tell you something. These signs often start showing up in your mid-30s through your 40s and 50s as your body's hormone levels, especially estrogen, progesterone, cortisol, and thyroid begin to naturally shift. But here's what's important for you to know:

You don't have to just accept feeling this way!

One of the most common signs? Sudden mood changes..yikes!

If you find yourself feeling irritable, anxious, or tearful without any clear reason, especially in that week or two before your period.. Your body is usually trying to tell you something. Specifically, that your estrogen and progesterone are out of balance.

As you move through your late 30s and into your 40s, perimenopause begins to make itself known. Progesterone tends to drop first, and when it does, you may start feeling more anxious, restless, or emotionally overwhelmed than your baseline. At the same time, when estrogen runs higher relative to progesterone, a pattern known as estrogen dominance! you might notice intensified PMS, increased irritability, and mood swings that seem to come out of nowhere.

It's a whole hormonal cascade. And it's not in your head, it's literally your biology.

Do these signs sound familiar?


  1.  Mood swings that feel bigger than the moment deserves

  2.  Fatigue that sleep doesn't seem to fix

  3.  Periods that have become unpredictable or irregular

  4.  Weight that won't shift no matter what you do

  5.  Sleep that's restless, broken, or just never quite enough




A couple naturopathic Tipss:


  • Support progesterone naturally through stress management, adequate sleep, and nutrient-rich foods

  • and have a conversation with your health professional
