Hormone Health Class
Welcome to Hormone Health Class — where we make hormones make sense.+ Hosted by Vanda Aubrey, Functional Medicine Nurse and Board Certified Nurse Coach, this podcast is your go-to space to finally understand your body, balance your hormones naturally, and feel like yourself again. Whether you're struggling with painful periods, infertility, mood swings, fatigue, PMS, or feel like your hormones are running the show — you're in the right place. Inside each episode, you'll get practical tips, hormone education, and empowering strategies to help you have easier periods, better moods, and more energy — without restrictive diets or guessing games. From fertility to postpartum to thriving in your 30s and beyond, think of this as the class you actually needed but never got. Because you run your life — not your period. On this podcast, I answer questions like: • Why am I so tired all the time even though my labs are normal? • How can I fix my painful or heavy periods naturally? • What causes PMS and how do I get rid of it? • How do I balance my hormones after having a baby? • Why do I feel bloated and moody before my period? • How can I increase my energy without cutting out all my favorite foods? • What is estrogen dominance and how do I know if I have it? • How can I support my hormones to prepare for pregnancy? • Do I really need to go on birth control to "fix" my hormones? • What is the best diet for healthy hormones? • How can I support my thyroid naturally? • What are the root causes of hormone imbalance?

We used HTMA (hair tissue mineral analysis) to uncover what her body actually needed—then built a simple, targeted plan.
Inside the episode, you’ll hear:
- What HTMA revealed: elevated magnesium (burning through it), high zinc and a...
Birth control is often handed out as the quick fix for every hormonal symptom—painful periods, acne, mood swings, irregular cycles—but what if it’s actually making things worse?
In this week’s episode, Vanda breaks down what really happens to your hormones when you’re on birth control. You’ll learn how it shuts down communication between your brain and ovaries, which nutrients it depletes (and how that impacts your energy, mood, and...

In this episode, I’m sharing 10 simple foods I keep on repeat in my own diet that make a big difference for hormone health.

This week, I’m kicking off a brand-new series on the podcast: Hormone Audits.
In these episodes, I walk through a real intake form from a listener or client and give my professional insights into what’s likely driving their hormone symptoms — and the first steps I’d recommend. Think of it like a behind-the-scenes look at what it’s like to work with me, without the cookie-cutter advice you find online.

Together, we uncovered hidden imbalances through HTMA testing, supported her metabolism and minerals, and built a ta...
