ESTROGEN DOMINANCE - THE CALCULATION

In today’s episode, we explore two powerful concepts that can help you move forward in life with more ease, clarity, and confidence.

First, we break down the Monkey Bar Analogy:
So many of us are swinging from ring to ring in our lives, whether it’s through fitness, nutrition, work, or personal development. The effort is there — the workouts, the studying, the actions. But what often holds us back from real progress is not the actions themselves, but our failure to let go of the past. This episode dives into how progress requires more than just forceful action; it also requires self-awareness, mindset shifts, and letting go of outdated habits, limiting beliefs, or fears that keep us stuck.

Time is spent on the "swinging" but not on the necessary internal work. Without sharpening our tools, we can stay stuck on the same two rings for years. This is exactly what I coach in The Victory Vault, a 2-week program designed to help you create self-awareness and a clear plan to move forward with ease, grace, and joy. I’ll give you a sneak peek into this program, which is launching February 2nd, and why it’s so much more than just goal-setting. It’s about learning to shift, grow, and move seamlessly from one “ring” of life to the next. (And yes, it's still available for just $249!)

Next, we dive into Estrogen Dominance and why it’s a huge factor for many women in their 40s and 50s. I call this phase “The Circus” or the “Karen Years,” a time marked by high anxiety, weight gain, sleepless nights, water retention, and fatigue. One of the most frustrating parts is when bloodwork shows that everything is “normal,” but you don’t feel normal at all.

In this episode, I teach you how to assess your own bloodwork with just three key numbers: estradiol, estrone, and progesterone. I show you exactly how to calculate your ratio to better understand where you stand, and why this can make a huge difference in understanding your hormonal health.

For example, my ratio is 2.6, which aligns with feeling pretty amazing. But a client of mine had a ratio of 460, yet was told her hormones were “fine.” The reality is, if you’re feeling off, this might be a wake-up call for you to dig deeper and advocate for your health. And no, I’m not advocating jumping straight into HRT — we also talk about testing cortisol and stress levels as they impact your progesterone.

We also touch on why your bloodwork data is a goldmine of insight into your health — from insulin resistance to hormone balance. This isn’t about opinions or trends; it’s about data and making informed choices.

Lastly, if you’re feeling stuck in your progress or struggling with hormonal imbalance, The Victory Vault is for you. This program isn’t about surface-level goal setting; it’s a detailed dive into the exact steps you need to take to move forward in your endeavors with clarity, self-awareness, and action.
