Someone slid into my DMs asking how long it actually takes to fix your hormones, so here's the honest answer: the real timelines for the first 30, 90 days and 12 months, and the one thing that doubles your timeline that has nothing to do with your hormones.
Every Friday I do a health Q&A in my stories, and this week someone asked me the question every woman is secretly thinking. How long is this actually going to take?
And I get it. You've done the 21 day cleanse. You did keto. You hired the trainer. Your doctor says your labs are normal. And you still feel like garbage. So of course you want a number.
Here's the thing nobody wants to hear. You didn't get here in 21 days, so you're not getting out in 21 days. But it's probably not as long as you think either.
In this one I'm breaking down the real hormone timelines I see after working with 350 women in 3 years. What happens in the first 30 days, why the first 90 days is a weight loss phase and not a fat loss phase, why gut issues need their own timeline, and why getting the result and keeping the result are two completely different skill sets. I also tell you about my 20 year old self driving around Cambridge with the check engine light on for years, which is basically how most high achieving women treat their cortisol.
And there's one factor that can double your timeline. It has nothing to do with your hormones. It has everything to do with you.
