Estrogen: the Queen Bee
I rise after your period and bring energy, mood boosts, and glow.
I support brain and bone health and help prep your body for pregnancy. Powerful and radiant, but balance matters.
Follicle Stimulating Hormone (FSH): The Producer
I kick off your cycle by telling your ovaries which egg to mature.
Working quietly behind the scenes, I set ovulation in motion. When my levels are off, cycles can become irregular.
Luteinizing Hormone (LH): The Wildcard
I surge mid-cycle to trigger ovulation and release the egg.
If my moment is missed, ovulation does not happen, which can lead to irregular cycles, acne, and mood swings.
Progesterone: The Peacekeeper
I rise after ovulation to calm the nervous system, support sleep, and maintain the uterine lining.
No fertilized egg? I gracefully bow out and let the cycle reset.

Whether you’re trying to get pregnant or avoid it, using more than one method works best.
Track your cycle: Notice patterns like cycle length and basal body temperature (BBT). See your workbook for guidance.
Use an at-home ovulation kit: A positive LH test usually means ovulation is coming within 24–36 hours.
If you’re experiencing infertility, check the Special Considerations section later in the course for nutrition strategies that may help.

Estrogen Dominance: when estrogen levels are out of balance and your body can’t get rid of or ‘detoxify’ the excess estrogen in your body
Oxidative Stress: when free radicals outnumber antioxidants, leading to wear and tear on your cells and inflammation
Free Radicals vs. Antioxidants
These are unstable molecules that steal electrons from healthy cells, causing damage and setting off a chain reaction—kind of like rust spreading on metal. Your body makes free radicals naturally during everyday processes like turning food into energy.
These step in and donate an electron, neutralizing free radicals and stopping the damage without becoming unstable themselves. Your body makes some, and you get more from foods like fruits and vegetables.
Oxidative stress happens when free radicals outnumber antioxidants. Over time, this imbalance can contribute to aging, inflammation, and chronic disease.
Things that increase oxidative stress include smoking, pollution, excess sun, a highly processed diet, too much alcohol, and chronic stress.
Supporting your body with antioxidant-rich foods and healthy habits helps keep this tug-of-war in balance.
Some of the top ones to include are apples, broccoli, cabbage, oranges, and tomatoes.
To keep it simple, one serving is typically one cup of raw or 1/2 cup cooked.

Getting enough protein can help calm symptoms of:
PCOS, by improving how your body uses insulin and helping reduce excess androgens, like testosterone.
Endometriosis and uterine fibroids, by supporting a healthier inflammatory balance and helping your liver break down and get rid of used estrogen.
Thyroid disease, by supporting metabolism and reducing fatigue.
PMS-related mood swings, cravings, and bloating.

If you've been told your symptoms aren't concerning or that lifestyle changes won't help, it can feel frustrating. Doctors need to know a lot, and often receive minimal nutrition training, while research on lifestyle and health continues to evolve.
Here are a few ways to get clarity and feel more confident moving forward.
Review your after-visit summary (printed or in your chart) to see if it clears things up.
Still have questions? Send a short, specific message through your patient portal. Writing it out can make things clearer for both you and your provider.
It’s okay to seek a second opinion. A different provider or added expertise can bring clarity, confidence, and peace of mind.
Advocating for yourself isn’t being aggressive—it’s being informed. You deserve care that listens.
The more you understand your symptoms, hormones, and options, the stronger and more confident your voice becomes.
Why it matters and how to know what you need
Vitamin D comes from foods like fish, dairy, and fortified products but diet and sunlight may not be enough
Check your blood levels to see if you need supplements and watch the next video to learn how to do it safely
More is not always better so avoid going above the optimal range
Sunlight helps your body make vitamin D but sunscreen can reduce production, so find a safe balance
Helpful questions to ask your doctor or pharmacist about your medications.
Could this medication deplete any nutrients?
Are there nutrition or lifestyle changes I should pair with this?
What labs should we monitor over time to ensure the medication is working?
The best nutrients come from the foods we eat. Yet, sometimes a supplement can be beneficial for our health.
We partner with Fullscript, a medical grade supplement dispensary. Check out the 'Cycle Years Supplement Bundle' for the top women's health supplements we recommend.
Be sure to check with your provider before starting any new supplement.
