The 3 Hormone Patterns I See Most in High-Achieving Women
Use Left/Right to seek, Home/End to jump to start or end. Hold shift to jump forward or backward.
Many high-achieving women find themselves doing everything “right” eating well, exercising, staying on top of their responsibilities yet still feeling like their body is working against them. Energy dips, poor sleep, cycle changes, and stubborn weight can start to show up in ways that feel confusing and frustrating.
In this episode, Dr. Miranda Naylor breaks down three of the most common hormonal patterns she sees in high-performing women. She explains how chronic stress, low progesterone, and metabolic dysfunction can develop over time and why these patterns often overlap, making symptoms feel even more complex.
She also shares how these imbalances show up in the body, what labs and symptoms to look for, and why understanding your specific pattern is key to creating a more targeted and effective approach to healing.
We’ll explore:
✔️ The “wired but exhausted” pattern and how chronic stress impacts your hormones
✔️ Signs of low progesterone and how it affects your cycle and mood
✔️ How insulin resistance and metabolic stress disrupt hormone balance
✔️ Why multiple hormone imbalances often overlap and amplify symptoms
✔️ Foundational strategies to support your body and restore balance
If you’ve been feeling off despite doing all the “right” things, this episode will help you better understand what your body is signaling and how to start addressing it in a more strategic way.
