Heal Your Hormones, Reclaim Yourself: Connect the Dots Between Hormonal Chaos, Emotional Overload, and Relationship Pain with the HER Method

Naturopathic doctor Jensen (Woman Unleashed) argues in her compassionate guide to regulating one’s hormones that hormonal imbalances aren’t just biological but connected to emotions, environments, and relationships. She outlines how stress disrupts hormones, explaining that endless to-do lists, societal pressures to be perfect, and deeper issues like generational trauma set off a cascade of signals that put the body on high alert. Over time, constant stress can cause fatigue, digestive issues, brain fog, and irritability. To break the cycle, she says, readers need to listen to their body and recognize the signals it’s giving them. Instead of prescribing a one-size-fits-all solution, she posits that each woman has a unique hormonal identity, and provides a quiz to help readers find out if they’re anxious overachievers, silent strugglers, or perfectionists. She lays out a reset plan for each type that includes yoga poses, healthy recipes, and mindfulness practices, like journaling and carving out time to be away from screens. Throughout, she gives readers permission to prioritize their own health, encouraging them to “stop abandoning yourself under the weight of old roles, old pattens, or inherited expectations.” The result is an actionable road map for finding emotional and physical relief.
