Is It Hormonal or Am I Just Spiraling? How to Decode Your Mood Swings

Cried over a TikTok? Snapped at your partner? Spiraled over a text that said “k”? Same. If you feel like your emotions are running the show lately, there’s a very real, very hormonal explanation.

This Isn’t Just Stress — It’s Your Hormones

When estrogen, progesterone, and cortisol start doing the cha-cha, your mood can turn chaotic—fast. Hormonal mood swings aren’t about being “too sensitive” or “overreacting.” They’re rooted in real, biological shifts that affect how you think, feel, and respond.

Signs Your Mood Swings Might Be Hormonal

It happens on repeat. Mood dips before your period? Energy spike around ovulation? That’s your cycle talking.
You go from 0 to meltdown. One minute you’re fine, the next you’re spiraling. Estrogen affects serotonin, which impacts your mood filter.
Stress hits harder. High cortisol blocks calming progesterone, leaving you wired, restless, and reactive.
You feel like four different people each month. Your personality didn’t change—your hormones did.

Meet the Real Mood Disruptor: Estrogen Dominance

Estrogen dominance happens when your body isn’t metabolizing estrogen efficiently—whether due to stress, gut issues, or lack of progesterone balance. The result? More intense mood swings, anxiety, irritability, and that classic “why am I spiraling?” energy.

How to Regain Emotional Control (Without Willpower or Meds)

1. Support Estrogen Detox

Your liver and gut are your hormonal MVPs. Ingredients like DIM and calcium-D-glucarate help clear excess estrogen safely—key for emotional stability.

Not Today, Estrogen includes both, plus magnesium glycinate to calm your nervous system when things feel overwhelming.

2. Chill Your Cortisol

High cortisol makes mood swings 10x worse. Adaptogens like Rhodiola and Shilajit help regulate your stress response so you don’t emotionally combust every time someone speaks to you before coffee.

Find them in Cortisol, Who?—a formula designed for emotional resilience and mental clarity.

3. Track Your Cycle

Noticing patterns = power. Whether you use an app or your Notes app, tracking how you feel across your cycle can help you prepare instead of panic.

4. Give Yourself Grace

This isn’t a personality flaw—it’s a hormonal response. You’re not broken, dramatic, or “too much.” You’re responding to real internal shifts in a very real world.
