Hormones & The Bigger Picture

Hormone-related symptoms can feel confusing, unpredictable, and overwhelming—especially when so much of the conversation focuses on finding the “perfect” diet, supplement, lab result, or hormone balance.

This panel discussion offers a more realistic and compassionate perspective.

Join Heather Smith, Hannah Ball, and Amy Aronson for a multidisciplinary conversation about the many systems that influence how we feel, including nutrition, movement, sleep, stress, pain, and the nervous system.

Rather than focusing on how to “fix” your body, this discussion will explore how to better understand it, support it, and make informed choices that fit into everyday life.

During This Discussion, We’ll Explore:

• What “balancing your hormones” actually means—and why the phrase can be misleading
• Why symptoms may change from day to day or throughout the month
• The connection between hormones, nutrition, stress, sleep, pain, movement, and the nervous system
• Commonly overlooked contributors to hormone-related symptoms
• How to evaluate supplements, restrictive diets, hormone “hacks,” and social media advice
• Practical habits that may support overall health and quality of life
• How to rebuild trust in your body when you feel frustrated or disconnected from it
• Ways to move away from perfectionism and unrealistic wellness expectations

What You’ll Take Away

Attendees will leave with a broader understanding of hormone health and practical ideas for supporting their bodies without adding more pressure, restriction, or overwhelm.

This conversation is designed to help you feel more informed, empowered, and compassionate toward yourself—whether you are newly diagnosed with endometriosis, have been managing symptoms for years, or simply want to better understand your body.
