Are Your Hormones Affecting Your Mood? What Labs to Check

Are Your Hormones Affecting Your Mood? What Labs to Check

If your mood shifts throughout the month—feeling clear and grounded one week, then anxious, irritable, or low the next—this isn’t random.

In this episode, we’re unpacking how hormone patterns influence your brain, your emotions, and your energy on a much deeper level than most women are ever taught.

We walk through what’s actually happening across your cycle, why certain phases can feel so different, and how to tell the difference between what’s common… and what your body is trying to signal.

We also get into the labs that are often overlooked—but can completely change how you understand your symptoms when interpreted correctly and timed properly.

Inside the episode, we cover:

  • how estrogen, progesterone, and testosterone shape mood, motivation, and emotional regulation

  • why ferritin and thyroid function are foundational (and frequently missed)

  • how hormone ratios matter just as much as individual levels

  • why testing on the wrong day can give you misleading results

  • what changes when you’re on—or coming off—birth control

If you’ve ever felt like a different version of yourself at certain points in your cycle, this will help you understand why—and what to actually look at next.
