I t’s been incredible to watch hormone health emerge from the shadows and take center stage over the past 15 years. At 13, I found myself grappling with debilitating metabolic, reproductive, and mental health issues, only to be told by specialists that my test results were “normal,” my symptoms were “just part of being a woman,” or that I’d eventually “grow out of it.” (Spoiler: I didn’t.) Patients like me, who refused to settle for these dismissive explanations and pushed relentlessly for answers, have helped drive this conversation forward. At the same time, emerging research began highlighting the vital role hormones play in our overall health and longevity. Advances in testing have allowed us to measure and monitor hormone levels with greater accuracy and autonomy than ever before. This collective effort has sparked a much-needed wake-up call, fundamentally reshaping our understanding of hormone health. My search for answers has revealed that our hormonal apparatus evolved to suit a world far different from the one we live in today. While our ancestors faced physical exertion, intermittent food availability, and natural stressors, modern life presents an entirely new set of challenges: processed foods, sedentary lifestyles, a loneliness epidemic, chronic stress, and environmental toxins. Our hormones are simply ill equipped to handle this new state of affairs. The consequences of the mismatch between our biology and modern environment are staggering. Chronic hormone-related diseases such as type 2 diabetes, heart disease, and obesity are now leading causes of death globally, with rates of infertility and reproductive conditions such as polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS) and endometriosis skyrocketing. According to the World Health Organization, heart disease alone claims the lives of around 18 million people each year, while type 2 diabetes affects over 537 million adults worldwide and is responsible for nearly 2 million deaths annually. Both conditions often stem from metabolic dysfunction caused by modern dietary habits and lifestyles. I’ve come to learn that our hormones are alarm bells, warning us through uncomfortable symptoms that our current way of living is incompatible with our biology.
