The 6-Week Hormone Reset That Finally Helps You Feel Like You Again — With Cortisol Testing Included

If you’ve been feeling “off” for a while — tired no matter how much you sleep, overwhelmed by the smallest things, constantly craving sugar or caffeine just to get through the day — you’re not imagining it. And you’re definitely not alone.

For so many women, the real issue isn’t willpower, motivation, or “just needing to eat cleaner.” The issue starts with cortisol — your body’s main stress hormone — and how it’s impacting everything from your energy to your metabolism to your mood.

That’s exactly why I created my 6-Week Hormone Reset: a gentle, guided program designed to help you start healing your adrenal system so your body can actually feel balanced again.

And one of the most powerful parts of this program?
⭐️ Every single participant receives a 4-point saliva cortisol test — included!

Why Cortisol Matters More Than You Think

Cortisol isn’t “bad.”
You need it to wake up in the morning, think clearly, keep blood sugar stable, and respond to stress.

When cortisol is too high, too low, or completely dysregulated, you may experience:

Afternoon crashes
Trouble falling or staying asleep
Belly fat that won’t budge
Mood swings
Anxiety or irritability
Sugar/carbohydrate cravings
Feeling wired but tired
PMS that gets worse over time
Slow recovery from workouts
Brain fog

These symptoms don’t magically go away by eating less or working out more.
You have to understand what your cortisol is actually doing — and that’s where testing comes in.

Why the 4-Point Saliva Cortisol Test Is a Game-Changer

Inside the reset, you receive a full cortisol panel that shows:

Your waking cortisol
Your late morning cortisol
Your afternoon cortisol
Your evening cortisol

It gives us a real, precise map of how your stress response is functioning throughout the day.

This means:

✨ No more guessing.
✨ No more assuming you’re “just tired” or “just hormonal.”
✨ No more pushing harder when your body actually needs support.

Instead, we look at your personal results and tailor your nutrition, habits, and supplement support to your actual data.

Women are always shocked when their results finally explain why they’ve been feeling the way they do.

What We Focus On During the 6 Weeks

This program is designed to help your body shift out of survival mode and into a place where healing becomes possible again.

Over the 6 weeks, we work on:

✔️ Stabilizing your blood sugar

A must for steady energy, hormone balance, and reducing cortisol spikes.

✔️ Improving your sleep + nightly recovery

You can’t heal your hormones without healing your sleep.

✔️ Lowering inflammation

Through smarter food choices (not restriction), hydration, and recovery work.

✔️ Supporting nervous system regulation

Gentle practices that calm your stress response so your body stops operating in overdrive.

✔️ Custom nutrition + supplement guidance

Based on your symptoms — and your cortisol test once it comes in.

✔️ Bi-weekly check-ins + personalized feedback

Because support is everything when you’re trying to heal.

This isn’t a quick fix.
It’s a reset — a powerful turning point that helps your body finally start responding the way it should.

Who This Reset Is Perfect For

If you’re someone who:

Feels exhausted even after sleeping
Can’t lose weight no matter how hard you try
Has unpredictable cycles or worsening PMS
Lives in a high-stress season
Struggles with anxiety or irritability
Feels inflamed, puffy, or “blah”
Wants actual answers instead of more confusion

…this is for you!

Most of the women who join didn’t even realize how burned out their adrenal system truly was — until they saw their cortisol results and everything finally clicked.

Why Starting With Testing Matters

You deserve a plan that’s based on your body — not someone else’s.

The cortisol test eliminates:

❌ Guessing
❌ Generic plans
❌ One-size-fits-all advice
❌ Wasting months trying random supplements

Instead, you walk away with clarity:

You know why you feel the way you do
You know exactly what needs support
You know the next steps to take your healing deeper

And once your test results are back, you have the option to continue into 1:1 hormone coaching if you want more personalized, long-term guidance.

Ready to Start Feeling Like Yourself Again?

The 6-Week Hormone Reset is your starting point — the place where everything finally begins to make sense.

If you’re tired of being tired…
If you’re overwhelmed by your symptoms…
If you just want someone to tell you what’s actually going on…

Your body is ready for this reset.

When “High Testosterone” Doesn’t Feel Like a Win: What’s Really Going On Beneath the Surface

We often hear testosterone talked about like it’s the ultimate “feel-good” hormone and to a degree, that’s true.
Healthy testosterone levels can support:

🔥 Higher libido (your natural sex drive and desire)
⚡ More stable energy throughout the day
💪 Increased lean muscle mass and easier strength gains
💁‍♀️ Better skin health and fewer hormonal breakouts
🦴 Higher bone density and long-term skeletal strength

Testosterone plays a key role in how we feel, perform, and recover, for both men and women. It’s one of the reasons you feel stronger in the gym, more confident in your body, and even more resilient under stress.

But here’s where it gets tricky… If your lab results show higher testosterone but you’re not feeling those benefits — your energy is still tanked, your libido is MIA, or your skin is breaking out — it’s time to dig deeper.

🧬 High Numbers Don’t Always Mean High Function

Just because your total testosterone looks “high” on paper doesn’t mean your body is actually using it properly.
A few common reasons why that can happen:

Your testosterone is “bound” — meaning it’s attached to SHBG (sex hormone binding globulin) and isn’t bioavailable for your cells to use.
Your adrenals are overworked. Chronic stress can cause cortisol and DHEA imbalances that throw off how testosterone is made and metabolized.
Your liver detox pathways are sluggish. When estrogen and androgen clearance slows down, it can lead to breakouts, mood swings, or stubborn weight gain even with “good” numbers.
Your thyroid is under active. Low thyroid function can reduce how effectively testosterone signals are received, so you may look optimal on labs but feel the opposite.
You’re inflamed or under-recovered. Inflammation from overtraining, poor sleep, or gut dysfunction changes how your body uses hormones at the cellular level.

So while high testosterone might sound like a good thing, the goal is always balance and bioavailability, not just numbers on a page.

🔍 What to Look for in Your Lab Work

When reviewing hormone panels, I always look at:

Total vs. Free Testosterone – tells us how much is available for use
DHEA-S – gives clues about adrenal function and hormone precursors
Cortisol curve – helps us understand if stress is impacting hormone output
Thyroid markers (TSH, Free T3, Free T4) – reveals if metabolism is supporting hormone utilization
Liver enzymes & inflammatory markers – can show if detox and hormone clearance are backed up

When we connect these dots, we start to see the why behind the symptoms, not just the numbers.

💡 The Bottom Line

Having “high” testosterone doesn’t automatically mean your hormones are working for you.
If you’re still tired, moody, breaking out, or struggling with libido despite those numbers.. your body is trying to tell you something deeper.

The good news? Once we identify where the breakdown is happening (adrenals, liver, thyroid, gut, or stress), we can create a plan that helps your hormones work again, not just look good on a lab sheet.

🌿 Ready to Understand What Your Labs Are Really Saying?

If you’ve ever felt confused by your test results - or frustrated that “everything looks normal” but you don’t feel normal - this is exactly what I help clients uncover inside my 1:1 Hormone Coaching Program.

You’ll get functional lab testing, personalized nutrition, targeted supplementation, and ongoing coaching to restore balance and finally feel like yourself again.

POV: You’re a Mom Trying to Work Out at Home

<h1>POV: You’re a Mom Trying to Work Out at Home</h1>

<p class="post-intro">If you’ve ever tried to squeeze in a workout while your toddler climbs on your back or someone yells “snack!” mid-set… you’re not alone. This is real life. And it still counts.</p>

</header>

</div>

<h2>Gym Optional. Results Possible.</h2>

<p>So many women think they have to <em>go to the gym</em> to see results—yet for busy moms, that’s often another barrier. Between naps, work, and laundry, it can feel impossible to find that “perfect” time to train.</p>

<p>Here’s the truth: <strong>you don’t need a fancy gym to support your hormones, metabolism, and energy.</strong> You need consistency, movement that feels good, and a plan that works with your season of life—not against it.</p>

</section>

<h2>Why At-Home Workouts Work (Especially for Moms)</h2>

<ul>

<li><strong>Less Stress = Better Hormones:</strong> Skipping the commute, childcare logistics, and crowds means your cortisol isn’t spiking before you even start. Lower stress supports thyroid and sex hormone balance.</li>

<li><strong>Healthy Habits on Display:</strong> Your kids see you showing up for yourself. You’re modeling strength, boundaries, and self-care without perfectionism.</li>

<li><strong>Flexible & Realistic:</strong> 15–30 minutes during nap time or a 40-minute lift after bedtime—movement doesn’t have to look perfect to be effective.</li>

<li><strong>Consistency Wins:</strong> When workouts fit your life, you’re more likely to stick with them. Consistency beats intensity every time.</li>

</ul>

</section>

<h2>My Mom-Friendly Workout Formula</h2>

<ol>

<li><strong>Choose 4–6 Moves</strong> (total-body): a hinge (deadlift or hip hinge), squat, push, pull, core, and a carry or march.</li>

<li><strong>Set a 20–30 Minute Timer.</strong> Do 2–3 sets of 8–12 reps with 45–75 seconds rest. If kids interrupt, pause and resume—no shame, no restart needed.</li>

<li><strong>Keep Gear Minimal:</strong> 1–2 pairs of dumbbells, a mini-band, and floor space. That’s enough to get strong.</li>

<li><strong>End with Breath Work:</strong> 2–3 minutes of nasal box breathing (inhale 4, hold 4, exhale 4, hold 4) to down-shift cortisol.</li>

</ol>

<p><em>Coach’s tip:</em> Cycle two workouts A/B through the week—so you’re never guessing what to do.</p>

</section>

<h2>Sample At-Home A/B Workouts</h2>

<h3>Workout A (25–30 min)</h3>

<ul>

<li>Goblet Squat – 3×10</li>

<li>Hip Hinge (DB RDL) – 3×10</li>

<li>Half-Kneeling Overhead Press – 3×8/side</li>

<li>Optional: Farmer Carry – 2×40–60 seconds</li>

</ul>

<h3>Workout B (25–30 min)</h3>

<ul>

<li>Reverse Lunge – 3×8/side</li>

<li>Elevated Push-Up – 3×8–10</li>

<li>Glute Bridge or Hip Thrust – 3×12</li>

<li>Band Pull-Apart or Face Pull – 3×12–15</li>

<li>Side Plank – 2×30–45 sec/side</li>

<li>Optional: March in Place (light jog or step) – 3×45 sec</li>

</ul>

<h2 id="faq">FAQ: At-Home Workouts & Hormones</h2>

<summary>Will short workouts even help my hormones?</summary>

<p>Yes—especially if stress is high. 20–30 focused minutes can improve insulin sensitivity, lower cortisol over time, and support thyroid health when paired with recovery and adequate protein.</p>

</details>

<summary>What if my kids interrupt every 5 minutes?</summary>

<p>Press pause, handle the moment, and pick up where you left off. Partial workouts performed consistently beat “perfect” workouts that never happen.</p>

</details>

<summary>Do I need special equipment?</summary>

<p>No. Start with one pair of dumbbells (light-moderate), a mini band, and floor space. Add heavier bells as you get stronger.</p>

If you’ve ever tried to squeeze in a workout while your toddler climbs on your back or your kids are asking for snacks mid-set… you’re not alone.
This is real life.
And it still counts.

So many women think they have to go to the gym to see results — but for busy moms, that often becomes another barrier. Between naps, work, and laundry, it can feel impossible to find that “perfect” time to train. (Plus cold and flu season is coming up too)

Here’s the truth: you don’t need a fancy gym to support your hormones, metabolism, and energy. You just need consistency, movement that feels good, and a plan that works with your season of life — not against it.

💪🏼 Why At-Home Workouts Work (Especially for Moms)

Less Stress = Better Hormone Balance
Skipping the commute, child care (sometimes this can be helpful though!), and gym crowd means your cortisol doesn’t spike before you even start. Lower stress = happier hormones.
You’re Modeling Healthy Habits
Your kids see you showing up for yourself.. not chasing “perfection,” but building strength, confidence, and self-care into daily life.
You Can Customize Your Space + Time
Whether it’s 20 minutes during nap time or 40 after bedtime, movement doesn’t have to look perfect to be effective.
You’ll Build Consistency, Not Excuses
When workouts fit your life, you’re far more likely to stay consistent, and consistency beats intensity every time.

🩵 What I Tell My Clients

When I work with moms inside my coaching programs, we build plans that meet them where they are.
Some lift heavy in the gym.
Some work out in their living room with bands and dumbbells.
All of them are healing their hormones, balancing cortisol, and feeling more like themselves again.

You don’t have to do it all!! You just have to start.
