If you've ever stared at your supplement cabinet wondering whether any of it is actually helping, you're not alone. The frustrating part is that a few supplements really can support your hormones and energy, while others just create noise and false expectations. In the latest Hello Hormones episode, we dive deeper into why magnesium is often the one supplement most women are probably missing, why creatine isn't just for the bros anymore, and why so many people are taking melatonin in ways that work against their sleep. We also talk about why black cohosh is not a phytoestrogen and what it really supports instead. This episode is about cutting through the noise and understanding what your body actually needs.
