I'm Hormonal | Hormone balance, gut health & nutrition insights
Welcome to I’m Hormonal — the podcast where we make sense of your bloating, brutal PMS, and missing periods… without blaming it all on “just stress” or “being a woman.”
Hosted by Bridget Walton, Women’s Hormone Coach, this show is your no-BS guide to decoding your cycle, calming your gut, and actually balancing your hormones (not just crossing your fingers and hoping for the best).
Each week, we break down what no one taught you about hormones, nutrition, and gut health in your 30s — especially if you're tired of guessing what your body is trying to tell you.
Expect solo episodes packed with real talk and root-cause tools, plus the occasional expert guest to help you feel less confused and more in control.
Because you deserve better periods, better digestion, and a better shot at getting pregnant — without burning out trying to figure it all out alone.

9. GnRH, FSH, LH - Hormones that Help Us Ovulate
Use Left/Right to seek, Home/End to jump to start or end. Hold shift to jump forward or backward.
"Hormones that help us ovulate" is the nicer way of saying "gonadotropin releasing hormone, luteinizing hormone, and follicle stimulating hormone" which are the three hormones that we'll focus on today. This is the third edition of this mini series where we dive into the main characters as far as sex hormones go. Because GnRH, LH, and FSH are a bit more straightforward than our friends progesterone and estrogen, this episode is a bit shorter and sweeter.
In this episode, I announce that I'm looking for women who want to work with me one-on-one to improve their hormone balance. I'm really excited to get to know some of you! If you're experiencing irregular cycles or unruly periods, reach out to me through this link here. Fun fact: the coaching will be at no cost to you! All I'll ask for in return is your honest feedback as I validate the systems and processes that I've got in place so I can make sure that everything I've set up so far is smooth and works well for you (and the clients who come after you!).
Listen in to hear about:
- Bridget's recommendations for hormone balance while you're traveling
- How GnRH, LH, and FSH support the menstrual cycle
- What makes these alphabet soup hormones get out of balance
- Practical tip: set aside time to identify the stressors in your life and make a plan to mitigate what can realistically be mitigated. Your nervous system will thank you.
