Hormones Explained: The Real Reason Behind Breakouts, Fatigue, and PMS

The Functional Aesthetician

In this episode, we dive deep into women’s hormones and talk about how hormonal changes influence your skin, mood, energy, and overall well-being. Whether you’re struggling with hormonal acne, irregular cycles, PMS, or burnout, this conversation will help you understand the root cause of what your body is trying to tell you.

You’ll learn how hormonal shifts throughout your cycle affect oil production, inflammation, and breakouts, plus how estrogen, progesterone, testosterone, and cortisol all play a role in your skin and stress response.

As an esthetician and functional medicine practitioner, I’ll share how to recognize signs of imbalance, restore harmony naturally, and create a skincare and lifestyle routine that supports your hormones, not fights against them.

In this Episode, You’ll Learn:

• How your menstrual cycle impacts your skin and why breakouts happen before your period
• The truth about hormonal acne, and why topical products alone won’t clear it
• The connection between gut health, hormones, and inflammation
  What estrogen dominance means and how it affects your skin and mood
• Why chronic stress and cortisol imbalance lead to fatigue, burnout, and skin issues
• Natural ways to support hormonal balance
• How to simplify your skincare routine for hormonally balanced skin
  

If you’ve been searching for answers about your cycle, hormones, and skin health, this episode will help you connect the dots between your body, your hormones, and your complexion.

Tune in now to understand your hormones, heal your skin, and restore balance from within.
