For generations, women have been dismissed as “moody,” “too emotional,” or “hormonal” whenever they express frustration, exhaustion, or even just a shift in energy. The underlying message? That our emotions are irrational and our bodies are something to be managed, rather than understood.

But the truth is, we’re not moody. We’re out of balance. And not because we are inherently flawed, but because we live in a world that neither respects nor supports the natural rhythms of our bodies.

 

The Shame Around Hormones

From a young age, we’re taught that our hormones are a liability. PMS is a joke. Menopause is a punchline. Expressions of sadness, frustration, or even confidence are often linked to our cycles—usually in a way that invalidates them.

But here’s the thing: our hormones are not the enemy. They are powerful chemical messengers that influence everything from our energy levels and sleep to our metabolism and mental clarity. When they’re in balance, we feel strong, focused, and resilient. When they’re out of balance, we feel depleted, anxious, and disconnected from ourselves.

So instead of being conditioned to suppress our emotions or apologize for our hormonal shifts, why aren’t we taught how to care for our bodies through these changes?

 

The Real Issue: Lack of Support and Education

Women aren’t given the knowledge or resources to work with their hormones. Instead, we push through. We ignore the exhaustion. We accept stress as normal. We dismiss the brain fog and irritability as “just how it is.” And society encourages this—rewarding productivity over rest and emotional suppression over self-awareness. That’s exactly why I created my 28-Day Fasting, Hormone & Gut Reset for Women—so you don’t have to waste years trying to figure this out on your own!

But what if we started listening to our bodies instead of fighting them? What if we embraced a more balanced approach to energy, work, and rest?

Nourishment Over Suppression

Rather than silencing symptoms with shame, quick fixes, or the expectation to “just deal with it,” we need to focus on what truly supports hormonal balance:

• Rest: Our bodies were not designed for constant output. Prioritizing sleep, relaxation, and mindful pauses throughout the day can make a huge difference.
• Nutrition: Blood sugar imbalances and nutrient deficiencies wreak havoc on hormones. Eating whole, nutrient-dense foods—not as a restriction, but as a form of self-care—can help stabilize mood and energy.
• Stress Management: Chronic stress is one of the biggest disruptors of hormonal balance. Practices like breathwork, meditation, and simply giving yourself permission to step back are crucial.
• Cyclical Awareness: Learning how our bodies shift throughout the month (or during different life stages like perimenopause and menopause) allows us to honor those changes instead of fighting them.

Reclaiming the Narrative

We deserve more than to be dismissed, shamed, or ignored. We deserve education, care, and support. We deserve to understand our bodies rather than feeling like we’re at war with them.

So no, you’re not “just moody.” You’re not “too sensitive.” You’re not “difficult.” You’re living in a system that hasn’t been built to support you. But that doesn’t mean you can’t create a new way forward—one where your emotions, your body, and your experiences are honored, not diminished.

It starts with listening. With nourishing. With rest. And with rejecting the outdated belief that your hormones are something to be ashamed of.
