Metabolism is upstream of almost everything we’ve been talking about in this ‘hot and heavy with hormones’ series.
➡️ When insulin, GLP‑1, leptin, adiponectin, and thyroid hormones are off, sex hormones rarely stay balanced for long…no matter how many estrogen or testosterone strategies we stack on top.
Before we jump to GLP‑1 agonists or even bioidentical sex‑hormone replacement, there’s a huge opportunity in working with the body’s own regulatory systems.
Certain botanicals can help cells respond better to insulin, nudge GLP‑1 and satiety signals, shift leptin and adiponectin in a favorable direction, and gently support thyroid output or calm thyroid over‑activation.
They don’t replace nutrition, movement, sleep, or exercise, but they can amplify it in powerful ways.
This carousel walks through some of the top botanicals for metabolic hormone support…from berberine, gymnema, and bitter melon on the insulin side to black cumin, ashwagandha, and mangiferin touching thyroid, adipokines, and GLP‑1‑adjacent pathways.
Think of it as a tour of plant allies that help your metabolism talk more clearly to your hormones, so your whole endocrine network can function with more ease and resilience. To see the full carousel, go to the LinkedIn post:
