Exhausted. Stressed. Confused.
There’s a particular combination of these feelings that come from not understanding your own body.
Maybe your jeans fit differently than they used to, and you don’t know why. Maybe you wake up tired even after a full night in bed. Maybe your energy levels and moods are impossible to predict. Some days you feel like yourself, some days you feel terrible.
You’ve heard that hormones are at play.
Estrogen, progesterone, cortisol, insulin, thyroid hormones: Suddenly, taking care of yourself feels like studying for a biology exam in medical school.
It’s overwhelming. And you’re not the only one scratching your head…
The truth is, we’re still learning how all the pieces of female hormones, metabolism, stress, sleep, and nutrition fit together.
But, there are some things we know with confidence. By focusing on a few key habits, you can meaningfully support your hormones and help your body find more balance. And today, I’m pairing each area of focus with a cozy drink you can sip to boost your hormonal health.
Focus on These 3 Powerhouses for Hormone Balance
Three foundational focuses will make a meaningful difference in your hormonal health.
👉 Liver Health
Your body is producing hormones continuously, around the clock.
Sometimes it makes too much. Sometimes the hormones are structurally broken-down. Sometimes they’ve done their job and it’s time they exit the building.
But hormones don’t die.
They remain, floating in your bloodstream.
If left unchecked, these circulating hormones would keep firing signals indefinitely, throwing your body out of balance.
Your liver is the answer.
It grabs passing hormones, deactivating them. Then, it flushes them out of your body via your digestive tract or bladder.
Can you see, now, how your liver health is closely connected to your hormonal balance?
Support your liver through a nutritious diet, bitter foods (like dandelion greens, arugula, and kale), healthy weight, limited alcohol, and regular movement. And try my Liver Loving Latte below.
👉 Blood Sugar Balance
Blood sugar balance is foundational for your entire endocrine system, regardless of your age.
When glucose levels swing wildly, your pancreas overproduces insulin, which acts like a bull in a china shop for other hormones.
High insulin signals your ovaries to overproduce testosterone while simultaneously blocking the liver from creating proteins that safely transport sex hormones.
This hormonal chaos disrupts ovulation, alters progesterone levels, and directly intensifies painful menstrual cramps.
Then, sudden blood sugar crashes force your brain to release stress hormones like cortisol, keeping your body in a constant state of survival mode that drains energy and fractures sleep.
Blood sugar balance can’t be forgotten on your quest for hormonal balance. Boost blood sugar balance with my Creamy, Nutty Hot Chocolate below.
👉 Rest
Your body never stops working.
But it needs you to stop so that it can do the work of recovery.
Sleep helps regulate hormones, metabolism, appetite, and your stress response. Without enough downtime, your body can stay stuck in a state of stress. And that means hormonal mayhem.
Rest isn’t a luxury. It’s part of your body’s work.
Prioritize quality sleep, make space to decompress, and give your body time to do its healing work. My Moon Milk recipe below is the perfect mug to cozy up with when you need to rest.
🍷 The Liver Loving Latte
I have some great news for you…
Large clinical reviews confirm that regular coffee consumption is highly hepatoprotective (liver-protecting). The natural plant compounds in coffee (like chlorogenic acid) acts as powerful antioxidants that reduce liver inflammation, improve liver enzyme levels, and slow down the formation of scar tissue (fibrosis).
Not a coffee gal? Swap it for roasted dandelion root and chicory root. These are phenomenal alternatives. The bitter compounds directly stimulate the production of bile, helping your liver package up and flush out deactivated hormone waste.
These roots are also packed with inulin, a powerful prebiotic fiber. Inulin feeds beneficial gut bacteria and keeps your digestion moving regularly, ensuring that the filtered hormones dumped into your stool are fully eliminated from your body and not reabsorbed.
👉 How to make it
Using a blender or hand frother, mix:
- 1 cup of warm, unsweetened organic coconut, hemp, soy, or grass-fed cows milk
- ½ cup of strong coffee or a serving of roasted dandelion and chicory blend
- ¼ tsp turmeric powder (which contains curcumin, which actively defends liver cells)
- A tiny pinch of black pepper (black pepper increases turmeric absorption by up to 2000%! Don’t skip it.)
- ½ tsp cinnamon
- 1-3 drops of pure monk fruit liquid drops
🍷 Creamy, Nutty Hot Chocolate
This drink is blood-sugar brilliance.
It’s engineered to flatten your glucose curve because it:
- Contains zero sugar
- Provides a safety net of protein, healthy fats, and fiber to slow down digestion, and
- Utilizes natural plant compounds that help clear sugar out of your blood, allowing your pancreas to produce much less insulin
👉 How to make it
Balance your blood sugar and support your overall hormonal health, by blending together this powerful cozy beverage:
- 1 cup of warm, unsweetened organic coconut, hemp, soy, or grass-fed cows milk
- ½ tbsp of almond butter (full of hormone-friendly protein, fiber, magnesium, and vitamin E)
- ½ tbsp of coconut manna (a delicious way to boost healthy, blood sugar balancing fat)
- 1 tsp Ceylon Cinnamon
- 1 tbsp 100% pure, unsweetened cacao powder
- 1-3 drops of pure monk fruit liquid extract
🍷 Moon Milk
The most powerful, evidence-based drink you can sip on to support stress, sleep, and balance hormones is something you can whip together in minutes on your kitchen counter.
This warm beverage targets your hypothalamic-pituitary-adrenal (HPA) axis. That’s the master control center in your brain that regulates your body’s stress response and dictates your entire hormonal balance.
Curl up with a mug of Moon Milk about a few hours before bed. It will actively lower your stress hormones (like cortisol), calm your central nervous system, and set up the ideal environment for deep, restorative sleep.
👉 How to make it
Mix these ingredients together to create a powerful, hormone-supporting nightcap:
- 1 cup of warm, unsweetened organic coconut, hemp, soy, or grass-fed cows milk
- ½ to 1 tsp Ashwagandha root powder
- ½ tsp turmeric powder
- A tiny pinch of black pepper (essential to help your body absorb the turmeric)
- ½ tsp Magnesium Bisglycinate powder (this will relax your muscles and regulate your nervous system, which is essential for hormone synthesis.)
- 1 scoop of unflavored collagen peptides (to stabilize blood sugar and decrease sleep disruption)
- 1-3 drops of pure monk fruit liquid drops
I Never Knew Health Could Be This Cozy…
I’m reading your mind a week from today, after you’ve sampled these three hormone-balacing drinks.
It’s a guess, but an educated one.
Because I’ve been working with women for a really…long…time.
And over the years, I have had the privilege of hearing women make the same exciting discovery:
“I was post-menopausal and never dreamed that I would ever be able to get rid of the extra weight. LEAN is like nothing I have ever tried before.”
“I have lost weight and inches I never thought I would.”
“I never thought it was possible for me to lose this weight and gain muscle. My mom and two aunts took part in this program with me and we have all raved about how amazing LEAN has been!”
“I love that LEAN is doable for busy people and that I never felt like I was starving myself!”
“Your program is so easy to understand and follow, and it has truly become my new lifestyle!”
“This program is so easy to do for the rest of your life because you don’t feel like you have to deprive yourself.”
“This is something that is doable for the most busy mama (even a single, full-time working mama, like me). Nourishing and strengthening your body is an investment worth making, and always pays dividends in the long run (not to mention the 11 pounds and 12 inches I lost in the past 7 weeks!).”
Did you catch that last one?
Nourishing and strengthening your body is an investment worth making, and always pays dividends in the long run.
I couldn’t have said it better.
Health, hormonal balance, and fat loss doesn’t have to feel confusing anymore.
It’s around the corner.
Join LEAN, and start gaining ground.
