As someone studying Public Health with a focus on nutrition, I’m particularly interested in how small, repeatable dietary patterns shape long-term hormonal regulation.  In this second part, I want to move from physiology to practice, the hormone-balancing foods, daily rhythms, and lifestyle changes that can support steadier energy, mood, and menstrual cycles over time.

As a current Master's in Public Health student focused on nutrition, I find that conversations about hormones come up everywhere - among fellow students, health founders, colleagues, and friends, sometimes in academic settings, sometimes in informal conversations, slowly starting to explore how lifestyle and environment shapes women’s health.

Dear Two Moons Readers, I’m Laura Donovan, a certified auriculotherapist and the founder of Solstice Ear Seeds. I didn't start Solstice because of a business idea. It started as a necessity. They say you have a thousand problems until you have a health problem, then you have just one. That became very real for our family.

Hi everyone, my name is Michelle Calderon, and I am the Founder of Addition Beauty, a nontoxic and hormone-safe beauty brand rooted in transparency and performance without compromising your wellness.  As a former cosmetic formulation chemist for a major beauty company, I was shocked to learn that chemicals in everyday personal care products could be impacting natural hormone function and influencing my PCOS symptoms. From there, I sifted through research, built a growing blacklist of chemicals I refuse to use, learned to read labels, and replaced my beauty staples with cleaner alternatives.
