07 Aug Back to You: The End-of-Summer Hormone Reset Your Body’s Been Craving
August is National Wellness Month, but when was the last time you made your wellness the priority?
Between summer vacations, shifting sleep schedules, and all the extra heat, it’s easy to lose track of routines. But that disruption can throw your hormones off. If you’ve been feeling not quite yourself lately, your body might be craving a reset. Especially before the added stress of fall hits.
At Thrive Functional Wellness Center, we help people stop chasing symptoms and finally get the answers they’ve been searching for. This is your invitation to come back to yourself, reclaim your energy, and restore hormonal balance before the season shifts.
How Summer Chaos Impacts Your Hormones
From late nights and long flights to hot weather and irregular routines, summer can be sneakily disruptive to your hormone health. Adrenal and sex hormones, like cortisol, estrogen, and progesterone, can get knocked out of balance by all that stress.
Common signs of hormone disruption?
Fatigue, brain fog, bloating, and mood swings that seem to come out of nowhere.
Sounds familiar?
Your hormones may just be waving that white flag.
Signs You’re Due for a Hormone Reset
Here’s how to know it’s time to dig deeper:
- You’re crashing in the afternoon (and reaching for caffeine or sugar)
- You wake up tired even after a full night’s sleep
- You’re dealing with irritability, intense sugar cravings, or heavier-than-normal periods
These aren’t “just summer blues.” They’re clues your hormones may be out of sync. It’s time to test, not guess.
Why August is the Best Time to Test
As routines begin to shift again in the fall, stress typically ramps up. August gives you a window to assess and address imbalances before life speeds up.
We offer in-depth functional lab testing – catered as needed to each individual – that gives you real answers:
- 90-marker blood panel that goes far beyond standard labs
- Hormone testing for cortisol, DHEA, estrogen, progesterone, testosterone, as well as markers like H. pylori, which can affect your gut and hormone health
You deserve to go into fall feeling like your best self, not burned out.
Simple Ways to Begin Your Hormone Reset
Start small, start now:
📋 Schedule your labs to identify where your body needs support
💤 Prioritize consistent sleep to reset your cortisol rhythm
🚶♀️ Incorporate light movement and supportive nutrients like magnesium
🌿 Add adaptogens (like ashwagandha or rhodiola) to help buffer stress naturally
