Frequently Asked Questions

Common questions from this episode — and how Fix Your Period can help.

How does blood sugar affect hormones?
Chronically elevated insulin signals the ovaries to produce more androgens, which disrupts ovulation and drives symptoms like acne, hair loss, and irregular cycles. Blood sugar instability also stresses the adrenal glands (raising cortisol), depletes progesterone, and drives inflammation — all of which worsen period problems.
What are signs that blood sugar is affecting my period?
Signs include intense sugar or carb cravings (especially before your period), energy crashes, difficulty losing weight, irregular cycles, acne, increased hair loss, mood swings, and waking at 2–3am. These often reflect the blood sugar-hormone connection.
What is inositol and how does it help with hormonal health?
Inositol — particularly the combination of myo-inositol and d-chiro-inositol — is a compound that improves insulin sensitivity and reduces androgen production in the ovaries. It is one of the most researched natural interventions for PMOS (formerly PCOS) and insulin resistance-driven hormonal imbalances.
Is there an app that helps with blood sugar and hormonal health?
Yes. Fix Your Period's free assessment identifies blood sugar-driven hormonal patterns. Fix Your Period Premium unlocks Nicole's comprehensive blood sugar balancing protocols, Period Pillars education on the metabolic-hormonal connection, and Nicole.AI for personalised support.
What are the dietary foundations of blood sugar balance for hormonal health?
Nicole's approach centres on: eating protein at every meal, including fibre-rich vegetables, prioritising healthy fats, avoiding ultra-processed foods and refined carbohydrates, and timing meals to prevent extended fasting periods — all of which stabilise insulin and support healthy hormonal function.
