Nutrition, Movement, and Mood — Supporting Your Hormones Naturally

Learn how nutrition, movement, and lifestyle changes can naturally balance hormones, boost mood, and restore energy in women through a functional medicine approach.

For many women, mood swings, fatigue, and low motivation in midlife are brushed off as “just getting older.” But your body is sending signals — asking for support. The good news? You can make powerful changes through what you eat, how you move, and how you live.

Hormones are deeply influenced by your daily habits. Estrogen and progesterone depend on liver health, gut balance, and nutrient intake. Cortisol and insulin — your stress and blood sugar hormones — respond directly to sleep, exercise, and diet. When these systems work together, you feel steady, calm, and energetic. When they don’t, you can experience irritability, cravings, bloating, or exhaustion.

Let’s meet Julia. At 46, she was frustrated — her clothes no longer fit, she couldn’t get through the day without caffeine, and she cried without knowing why. Her labs showed estrogen dominance and low progesterone, along with mild insulin resistance. Instead of turning to medication right away, Julia began working with a functional medicine nurse who helped her implement small changes — daily walks, swapping processed snacks for whole foods, and adding cruciferous vegetables to support estrogen detoxification. Within a few months, her energy improved, and her moods leveled out.

Here’s what you can start doing today:

Prioritize protein and fiber. They stabilize blood sugar and support hormone metabolism.
Eat colorful produce. Phytonutrients from plants support detoxification and reduce inflammation.
Move consistently. You don’t need hours at the gym — just 20–30 minutes of walking, yoga, or light strength training can improve insulin sensitivity and mood.
Support your gut. A healthy gut microbiome helps regulate estrogen levels and immune balance.

Functional medicine emphasizes small, sustainable steps that lead to big improvements. Nourishing your body through mindful eating, movement, and rest can help restore balance to your hormones and reclaim your vitality.

Fighting Inflammation: Practical Strategies for Better Health

Inflammation is a natural response by the body to injury, infection, or stress, but chronic inflammation can silently contribute to pain, fatigue, and long-term health issues. It affects not only those recovering from injury but also anyone managing chronic conditions such as arthritis, autoimmune disorders, or metabolic imbalances. Understanding how to identify and reduce inflammation can empower patients to take control of their health while helping nurses guide effective care.

Nutrition plays a powerful role in controlling inflammation. Foods rich in antioxidants, omega-3 fatty acids, and fiber — such as colorful vegetables, berries, fatty fish, nuts, and seeds — can help reduce inflammatory responses. Conversely, highly processed foods, added sugars, and excessive saturated fats may worsen inflammation. Small, consistent dietary changes often make the biggest difference over time.

Movement is another essential tool in the fight against inflammation. Gentle aerobic exercise, stretching, or low-impact strength training supports circulation, reduces stiffness, and enhances the body’s natural anti-inflammatory processes. For those recovering from injury, guided physical therapy or functional movement exercises can safely incorporate activity while minimizing risk.

Stress management also affects inflammation. Chronic stress triggers hormonal changes that can increase inflammatory markers and worsen pain or fatigue. Mindfulness techniques, breathing exercises, yoga, or even a short daily walk can help calm the nervous system and support overall wellness. Combining physical and mental strategies gives the body a stronger foundation to heal.

Patient Perspective:
Managing inflammation is a journey, not a quick fix. Making intentional choices about food, movement, and stress each day empowers you to reduce pain, improve energy, and protect long-term health. Tracking symptoms and celebrating small improvements helps maintain motivation and confidence.

Nursing Perspective:
Nurses are on the front lines of patient education. By helping patients understand how lifestyle factors influence inflammation and guiding safe movement or dietary changes, nurses support healing and reduce the risk of chronic complications. Providing clear, actionable strategies fosters both trust and better outcomes.

Tip to Try This Week:
Add one anti-inflammatory habit to your daily routine — for example, a serving of berries with breakfast, a 10-minute walk, or five minutes of mindful breathing. Small, consistent steps can make a noticeable difference in inflammation and overall well-being. Track how you feel each day and celebrate even minor improvements. Remember, sustainable change comes from steady, intentional actions rather than drastic overnight shifts.

Hormones, Healing, and Hidden Imbalances

By Rosie Moore, DNP, RN, LEHP, LNC, BC-FMP

Many women expect some pain and discomfort after an injury—whether from a car accident, a fall, or even an emotionally traumatic event. But what most don’t expect is how long that pain and fatigue can linger. It’s frustrating when you’re doing “everything right”—attending physical therapy, following up with doctors, taking medications as prescribed—yet you still feel exhausted, moody, and unlike yourself.

You may find yourself thinking:

“Why am I so tired all the time?”
“Why do I feel depressed or anxious when I never used to?”
“Why can’t I sleep through the night anymore?”
“Why does my weight keep creeping up, even though I haven’t changed my diet?”

These questions are valid. And you’re not imagining things.

The truth is, injury recovery is about more than healing bones, muscles, or tissues. There is often a hidden layer of disruption that traditional medicine doesn’t always address: hormonal imbalance.

How Injuries Trigger Hormonal Disruption

When you experience trauma—whether physical or emotional—your body activates its internal alarm system, also known as the stress response. This process, regulated by the hypothalamic-pituitary-adrenal (HPA) axis, signals your adrenal glands to produce cortisol and other stress hormones.

Initially, this is a helpful and protective mechanism. But when stress becomes chronic—such as when you’re in ongoing pain, dealing with disrupted sleep, or experiencing financial or emotional stress after an injury—it can throw your hormonal system completely out of balance.

Over time, this can lead to:

Adrenal fatigue (feeling wired but tired, or just completely drained)
Thyroid dysfunction (which affects metabolism, energy, and mood)
Imbalances in estrogen and progesterone (leading to mood swings, irregular periods, or worsened PMS)
Blood sugar instability
Slowed tissue repair and inflammation that won’t resolve

Unfortunately, many of these issues don’t show up clearly on standard labs. You may be told that everything is “normal,” but you still don’t feel right. That’s where functional medicine can offer real answers.

Why Women Are Especially Affected

Women’s hormonal systems are incredibly intricate and sensitive to stress. After an injury, even subtle changes in sleep, inflammation, or nutrient depletion can create a cascade effect—disrupting everything from your monthly cycle to your ability to think clearly and manage your emotions.

If you’re also a caregiver, a professional, or simply trying to get back to your routine, the pressure to “push through” can further delay recovery. Many women feel guilty for slowing down or seeking help—so they suffer in silence while their bodies quietly burn out.

The good news? You don’t have to.

Functional Support for Hormone Health and Recovery

At JRM Nurse Consultants, we take a different approach. We start by listening to your story—how the injury happened, what you’ve experienced since, and how your symptoms are impacting your life. Then, using advanced functional lab testing and clinical assessments, we help you uncover what’s really going on beneath the surface.

We explore key areas like:

Adrenal function and cortisol patterns
Thyroid health (not just TSH, but full thyroid panels)
Female hormone balance
Inflammatory markers
Nutrient levels and gut health
Sleep and nervous system recovery

You’ll receive a personalized recovery roadmap that doesn’t just treat symptoms—it restores balance.

It’s Time to Feel Like Yourself Again

If you’re tired of being told “everything looks fine” when you know something is off, trust your instincts. Your symptoms are messages. And healing is possible—especially when we address the root causes and support the body’s natural ability to rebalance.

Initial Functional Health Consultation: $25.00

Once you are ready for the next step after the initial consult, it will allow us to review your health history, current concerns, and determine the best path forward for healing. This is not just another appointment—it’s a starting point for real answers and individualized care.

5 Signs Your Hormones Might Be Holding You Back

By Dr. Rosie Moore, DNP, RN, LNC, LEHP, BC-FMP

Hormones play a powerful role in every aspect of your health — from your energy and mood to weight, sleep, and overall well-being. When they’re out of balance, it can feel like an invisible barrier holding you back from living your best life.

If you’ve been struggling but can’t quite put your finger on why, your hormones might be the missing piece.

Here are 5 signs your hormones could be holding you back:

1. Unexplained Fatigue
No matter how much you sleep, you feel drained and sluggish. Hormonal imbalances — especially thyroid, adrenal, or sex hormones — can disrupt your energy levels.

2. Mood Swings and Anxiety
Irritability, anxiety, or feeling “off” emotionally can be linked to fluctuating or low hormone levels. These shifts affect brain chemistry and stress response.

3. Weight Struggles Despite Diet and Exercise
If your weight won’t budge or you’re gaining weight unexpectedly, hormones like insulin, cortisol, and estrogen could be sabotaging your efforts.

4. Sleep Difficulties
Trouble falling asleep or staying asleep? Hormones regulate your circadian rhythm and melatonin production. Imbalances may be disrupting your rest.

5. Irregular or Painful Menstrual Cycles
Skipped periods, heavy bleeding, or severe cramps often signal underlying hormone issues like estrogen dominance or progesterone deficiency.

Why It Matters
Ignoring these signs can lead to worsening symptoms and increased risk for chronic conditions. The good news? Hormone imbalances can be addressed safely and effectively with the right support.

How I Can Help
As a functional medicine nurse consultant with expertise in hormone health and stress management, I partner with women to identify root causes and develop personalized plans for hormone balance, improved energy, mood, and overall wellness.

If these signs sound familiar, don’t wait. You deserve to feel like yourself again.
