I'm Hormonal | Hormone balance, gut health & nutrition insights

Welcome to I’m Hormonal — the podcast where we make sense of your bloating, brutal PMS, and missing periods… without blaming it all on “just stress” or “being a woman.” Hosted by Bridget Walton, Women’s Hormone Coach, this show is your no-BS guide to decoding your cycle, calming your gut, and actually balancing your hormones (not just crossing your fingers and hoping for the best). Each week, we break down what no one taught you about hormones, nutrition, and gut health in your 30s — especially if you're tired of guessing what your body is trying to tell you. Expect solo episodes packed with real talk and root-cause tools, plus the occasional expert guest to help you feel less confused and more in control. Because you deserve better periods, better digestion, and a better shot at getting pregnant — without burning out trying to figure it all out alone.
