Are Your Hormones Sabotaging Your Recovery?

By Rosie Moore, DNP, RN, LEHP, LNC, BC-FMP
Functional Medicine Nurse Consultant

If you’ve been struggling with chronic pain, fatigue, stubborn weight gain, or sleepless nights, your hormones might be trying to tell you something. At JRM Nurse Consultants, we look beyond symptoms to understand how your entire body communicates—because healing starts from the inside out.

What Causes Hormonal Imbalances?

In Functional Medicine, we understand that hormone imbalances are often not the root issue—they’re a symptom of something deeper. Factors such as:

  • Ongoing stress
  • Poor diet or nutrient deficiencies
  • Environmental toxins
  • Blood sugar imbalances
  • Unresolved trauma

…can disrupt your endocrine system and cause a ripple effect in your health and recovery.

Common Signs of Hormonal Imbalance

Many women brush off hormonal symptoms as “normal” or “just aging,” but they can be warning signs that your body needs support. These signs may include:

  • Brain fog or forgetfulness
  • PMS or irregular menstrual cycles
  • Midsection weight gain (especially under stress)
  • Low libido
  • Insomnia or poor sleep quality

These symptoms do not have to be your everyday reality.

Functional Healing That Looks at the Whole You

Rather than masking symptoms with temporary fixes, we use a whole-body, root-cause approach to gently rebalance your hormones through:

  • Nutrient-rich, anti-inflammatory food
  • Lifestyle and stress recovery tools
  • Safe detox strategies
  • Supportive supplements (when needed)
  • Mind-body healing practices

Whether you’re navigating perimenopause, thyroid issues, or chronic stress, healing is possible.

The Gut-Brain Connection: How Healing Your Gut Can Lift the Fog

By Rosie Moore, DNP, RN, LEHP, LNC, BC-FMP
Functional Medicine Nurse Consultant

Do you ever feel like you’re living in a fog? Trouble focusing, frequent mood swings, low energy, anxiety—or just feeling “off”? You’re not imagining it. And you’re definitely not alone.

As a Functional Health Nurse, I work with individuals every week who’ve been told their symptoms are “just stress” or “all in their head.” But in many cases, those vague but frustrating symptoms are actually connected to something deeper: your gut health.

What Does Your Gut Have to Do with Your Brain?

It turns out, a lot.
Your gut and brain are in constant communication via the gut-brain axis—a powerful two-way highway that links your enteric nervous system (in the gut) with your central nervous system (in the brain).

Think of your gut as your body’s second brain. It houses over 100 million nerve cells and is home to trillions of microbes that influence not only digestion but also mood, memory, focus, and behavior.

When your gut is healthy and balanced, neurotransmitters like serotonin, dopamine, and GABA flow more easily—helping you feel calmer, clearer, and more emotionally stable. In fact, about 90% of your body’s serotonin is produced in the gut!

When the Gut-Brain Connection Gets Disrupted

Here’s where things can go off track.
When your gut microbiome becomes imbalanced—due to factors like:

  • Processed food or sugar-heavy diets
  • Frequent antibiotic use
  • Chronic stress or trauma
  • Environmental toxins
  • Food sensitivities

… it can lead to leaky gut, inflammation, poor nutrient absorption, and an overloaded immune system. And that often translates into:

  • Brain fog
  • Mood swings or irritability
  • Fatigue
  • Sleep disturbances
  • Anxiety or depression
  • Trouble concentrating

You might feel like your brain is “glitching” or that your emotions are on a rollercoaster—but really, your gut is sending distress signals.

The Good News: Your Body Wants to Heal

The best part? Your gut is resilient.
When we start working to heal the gut, many clients are amazed at how quickly their brain fog lifts, energy returns, and mood becomes more balanced. Even small steps like:

  • Adding probiotic-rich foods (fermented veggies, kefir, yogurt)
  • Reducing sugar and processed foods
  • Getting better sleep
  • Managing stress with calming techniques
  • Taking targeted supplements or healing herbs

… can help restore harmony between your brain and your belly.
