Who This Course Is For
This course is for anyone struggling with hormonal symptoms — PMS, painful or irregular periods, perimenopausal mood swings, anxiety, poor sleep, low libido, hot flashes, or unexplained weight gain — who wants a clear, science-based path to natural hormonal balance without relying on the pill, conventional HRT, or guesswork.
Why Hormonal Balance Feels So Out of Reach
Most conventional approaches to hormones either mask symptoms with synthetic hormones or dismiss complaints when standard labs look “normal.” The result is years of frustration, mood swings, and exhaustion — without ever addressing the underlying problem of estrogen dominance and progesterone deficiency that drive so many of these symptoms.
The Progesterone & Pregnenolone Foundation
I created this course based on my own hormonal recovery and the bioenergetic, Ray Peat–aligned approach that finally gave me steady cycles, calm sleep, and stable mood. Inside, I walk you through why progesterone and pregnenolone — not estrogen — are the foundation of true hormonal balance, and how to use them safely and effectively to restore your body’s natural rhythm.
Understanding Estrogen Dominance
You’ll learn why estrogen dominance is so common today, how it develops from a sluggish thyroid, poor liver detoxification, gut imbalances, and chronic stress, and why simply lowering estrogen is rarely the answer. I’ll show you how to read the relationship between your hormones rather than chasing isolated numbers.
How to Use Progesterone & Pregnenolone Correctly
The course gives you clear, practical guidance on dosing, timing, and delivery — oral versus transdermal, daily rhythms, cycle-based versus continuous use, and how to titrate carefully to avoid the common mistakes that make people give up too soon. You’ll learn how to listen to your body and adjust based on real symptoms instead of guesswork.
Supporting Thyroid as the Hormonal Backbone
Hormones do not work in isolation. A sluggish thyroid is one of the biggest hidden drivers of estrogen dominance, low progesterone, and poor stress tolerance. I show you how thyroid health and sex-hormone health are deeply connected, and what to address first so your hormonal protocol can actually work.
Diet & Lifestyle That Stabilise Your Hormones
You’ll learn the foods, nutrients, and daily habits that protect progesterone, support healthy detoxification of estrogen, and keep blood sugar and stress hormones in check — the everyday foundations without which no supplement protocol can hold.
Trusted Brand Recommendations & a Clear Way Forward
I share the specific progesterone and pregnenolone brands I trust, what to avoid, and how to put together a complete protocol that fits your life. By the end of this course, you’ll have the clarity, structure, and confidence to rebalance your hormones naturally — and finally feel like yourself again.
