Hormonal & Lifecycle Health
Science-led, investigative support for women navigating cycle shifts, pelvic pain, hormonal imbalances, and midlife transitions.
Your symptoms are messages
When cycles shift, pain increases, energy drops, or mood changes feel unfamiliar, your body is signaling that something deeper needs attention.
Irregular periods, pelvic pain, PMS, anxiety, sleep disruption, resistant weight changes, brain fog, hot flashes — these aren’t random.
They point toward shifts in metabolism, inflammation, nutrient status, gut health, thyroid function, nervous system load, and hormone signaling.
The sooner we listen and investigate, the easier it is to restore long-term stability.
When hormonal shifts begin to compound
A woman’s physiology is dynamic. Across reproductive years and midlife transitions, hormones recalibrate continuously.
Over time, cumulative stress, inflammation, nutrient depletion, and environmental load can reshape how these systems communicate.
Common experiences include:
• PCOS or irregular cycles
• Endometriosis
• Chronic pelvic pain
• Vulvodynia
• Amenorrhea or missing periods
• PMS or PMDD
• Fertility challenges
• Perimenopause anxiety or sleep disruption
• Menopause-related metabolic shifts
For some women, labs appear “normal,” yet the body no longer feels steady. Symptoms may be inconsistent or difficult to name.
This isn’t a lack of discipline. It’s often physiology under strain.
What sustained pressure does to the body
Under long-term leadership stress, multiple systems are asked to compensate simultaneously.
Long-term pressure can affect:
• cortisol and circadian rhythms
• blood sugar regulation
• gut and microbiome balance
• hormone signaling
• immune and inflammatory pathways
• cognitive clarity and recovery capacity
Many high-functioning women compensate for years before symptoms appear. Over time, the body shifts from adaptation to repair. This becomes particularly important during pregnancy and postpartum, when sustained physiological stress intersects with ongoing responsibility for a child’s health.
This is for women who:
🔍 are founders, entrepreneurs or leaders
⚡️ are dealing with real, persistent health symptoms
🧠 suspect stress is impacting their overall health
🧬 want science-based solutions that support long-term resilience
🧪 value depth, investigation, and biological explanations
🎯 need more than just mindset or lifestyle coaching
A Note on Hormone Therapy & Medical Options
Many women I work with are navigating decisions around:
• Birth control
• Progesterone therapy
• Thyroid medication
• Metformin for PCOS
• IUDs
• Hormone replacement therapy (HRT) or Bio-identical hormone therapy (BHRT) during perimenopause and menopause
Hormone therapy can be appropriate and supportive in many cases. At the same time, medication does not replace foundational physiology. My role is not to prescribe or replace your physician.
My role is to help you understand:
• What your hormones are responding to
• How nutrition, inflammation, stress, and metabolism influence symptoms
• How to support your body alongside medical treatment
• When deeper terrain work may reduce symptom burden
During perimenopause and menopause, hormone replacement therapy can be life-changing for some women. When used appropriately and monitored properly, it may significantly improve quality of life. Functional support can enhance outcomes by addressing metabolic health, gut function, inflammation, and nutrient status alongside therapy. Some women choose hormone therapy. Some women choose not to. Some use it temporarily.
We work collaboratively, based on your goals and medical guidance.
Working together
This is iterative work, designed for the realities of leadership.
When physiology has adapted to years of pressure, meaningful change happens through careful, phased adjustments over time. The focus is on restoring stability in a way that fits ongoing responsibility, not stepping away from it.
This work typically begins with a three-month engagement, designed to establish stability and a clear physiological foundation. Support can extend from there as needed.
If this feels aligned, let’s explore next steps together.
The experience behind my work
I’ve been there.
Before my work shifted toward health and physiology, I founded and ran companies, including leading a tech company for over six years as a solo founder in another country. I carried the responsibility of leadership, decision-making, and investor expectations firsthand.
From the outside, I appeared capable and composed. Internally, the pressure was accumulating quietly in my body. I carried the weight of investor capital, questioned my confidence as a leader, and lived in a near-constant state of physiological stress.
I experienced the realities of the tech founder lifestyle: limited sleep, irregular meals, high-stakes conversations, public speaking, and sustained cognitive pressure. Over time, this created layers of dysfunction that built gradually and largely unnoticed. It wasn’t until pregnancy and postpartum that my health began to unravel in ways I could no longer ignore.
I understand the loneliness of leadership — and how difficult it can be to find health support that respects both your intelligence and the realities of high-responsibility roles. Many leadership-related health patterns fall between the cracks of conventional care.
This work exists because I lived that intersection and couldn’t find the support I needed. I had to learn how to stabilize my own health at the biological level. Now, I bring that knowledge to support women who build and lead, so their health, resilience, and longevity are part of the foundation — not the cost.
