If you’ve been told “everything looks normal” while you’re exhausted, foggy, and stuck, you’re not broken—you’re unbalanced. This practical, shame-free book shows how to get energy, sleep, mood, and metabolic health back.

When your labs read “normal” but your life doesn’t—afternoon crashes, restless sleep, stubborn weight, brain fog—it isn’t a willpower problem. It’s a signal.
My book, You’re Not Broken—You’re Unbalanced, translates those signals into a simple plan that restores hormones, gut health, sleep, and metabolism without extremes.

Why “Normal” Still Feels Terrible (and What Optimal Means)

Reference ranges describe the average of people who get tested—not a performance target for how you want to feel. Optimal is the zone where people report steady mornings, deeper sleep, clearer mood, and easier body-composition change.

  • Estrogen: brain wiring, temperature control, joints. Too low → hot flashes, word-finding issues, aches.

  • Progesterone: your nervous system’s exhale. Low → 2–3 a.m. wake-ups and a racing mind.

  • Testosterone (women & men): drive, muscle, midsection leanness. Low → punishing workouts, low desire.

  • Thyroid (free T3): metabolic tempo. Poor conversion → “normal” TSH but classic hypo symptoms.

  • Cortisol rhythm: should rise in the morning, glide down at night. Flat/inverted → “tired and wired.”

The book shows how to interpret numbers with symptoms so you can move from merely “in range” to realistically better.

What You’ll Learn Inside (no fluff, just usable steps)

  • Normal vs. Optimal: how to read labs in the context of real life.

  • Sleep → Hormones → Metabolism loop: small changes that unlock deeper sleep and more stable appetite and mood.

  • Gut repair that sticks: calm bloat/cravings so hormone signals actually land.

  • Muscle as medicine: efficient strength templates that improve insulin sensitivity and body composition.

  • Peptides (used responsibly): where they help—and where basics beat biohacks.

  • Stepwise “Good → Better → Optimal” checklists: never guess what to do next.

A Smarter Starting Point (from the book)

Ask for labs that read function, not just survival:
estradiol (sensitive), progesterone (timed), total/free testosterone, SHBG, DHEA-S; TSH, free T4, free T3 (± rT3, antibodies); fasting insulin/glucose, A1C, lipids, hs-CRP, ferritin, vitamin D, B12/folate; morning cortisol (and diurnal pattern when indicated).
You’ll use the book’s cheat sheets to discuss results clearly and choose the next step.

The Four Pillars You’ll Work (and how the book sequences them)

  1. Restore the signals (with physician-guided options, including bioidentical hormones where appropriate). Route matters; aim for physiologic, not extreme.

  2. Rebuild capacity (sleep + strength). Morning light, a consistent wake time, caffeine timing, cool/dark room, and a simple 2–3x/week strength plan.

  3. Fix the gut so signals land. Short resets, strategic re-introductions, and targeted support—without a “supplement salad.”

  4. Supply the materials. ADK, omega-3s, magnesium (evening), methylated B’s, thyroid cofactors (selenium, zinc, iron sufficiency), ± DIM when appropriate.

Typical wins readers report:

  • 1–2 weeks: fewer 2–3 a.m. wake-ups; calmer evenings

  • 4–8 weeks: deeper sleep, clearer mornings, fewer hot flashes, better gym response

  • 3–6 months: visible body-composition change, stronger lifts, improved labs (lower insulin/CRP), steadier mood & desire

Who This Book Helps Most

  • Perimenopause & menopause: night sweats, fractured sleep, brain fog, joint aches, weight that won’t budge

  • Men 35–65: low drive, stubborn belly fat, slower recovery, afternoon crashes

  • Busy professionals & parents: need a plan that works in real life

How to Use the Book (quick tour)

  • Start with the Quick Start to circle your top 3 symptoms.

  • Use the lab cheat sheets to talk clearly with your provider.

  • Follow the 7-day Momentum Plan (sleep, protein, daylight, walking, 1–2 strength sessions).

  • Recheck your top symptoms in 2–3 weeks and adjust using the Good → Better → Optimal targets.
