Episode 56: Hormones: A Portal Into Our Stored Trauma
“I would say I love it that it's blamed on hormones and not on us, right? Whatever. Those darn hormones and it's so true because you know, our hormones are the cellular communicators in our bodies, right there will go around and tell every little cell what to do. So yes, if we're out of balance, chances are hormones are really out of balance.”
~Robin Nielsen
Show Notes:
In this episode we are going to talk about women’s health – specifically around how trauma affects womens’ hormones.
We’re answering the question – how are hormones actually a portal into our trauma?
Here’s what you’ll learn:
- Why if you feel out of balance, your hormones are probably out of balance.
- What wrong advice doctors are giving about hormones .
- The times in our life when our body is more ready to deal with past traumas because of the hormone changes.
- Something called Estrogen Dominance and what is misleading about that .
- The 2 major hormones (not estrogen and progesterone) that are REALLY affecting you.

I can’t tell you how much I enjoyed this hormonal podcast. I’ve been in and out of total crash ( sometimes bedridden)for the better part of 7 years. My quality of life has been almost non existent because I’m so biologically fragile and have so little energy. For 4 years I’ve seen an integrated medical professional for balancing my hormones bioidentically and with supplements but I still continued to rapidly decline. I did the 21 day journey in September, had a health coaching session in November, did the all parts of me course in December and I have no words for how big a difference I feel already. The health coaching made some small changes to my supplements until I can have more tests done, but already what a difference. After so many years of being so physically sick and having regular doctors saying I’m fine, you have given me a road to recovery. I’m so grateful.
I hear you. I’ve been in a similar situation combined with PTSD and this was helpful.
