The Happier Hormones Roadmap
I find that the women in my community are often confused about how to naturally balance their hormones, and what they journey might actually look like.
That’s exactly why I created The Happier Hormones Roadmap.
It’s a simple framework that helps you identify where you are right now, what next steps actually make sense, and how to take action so you can move toward happier hormones without guessing or doing everything all at once.
I’ll break down each of the four personas I’ve created so you can identify which one aligns with where you are right now.
Note: it’s okay if you identify with more than one.
Newbie Nancy
You might be a Newbie Nancy if:
You don’t really understand your menstrual cycle phases yet
You’re unsure whether your symptoms are hormone-related
You don’t know much about the mineral–hormone connection
You may still be on birth control
You feel overwhelmed by where to even begin
This stage is all about education and awareness.
Your first job isn’t fixing everything—it’s learning how your body works.
At this point, the most powerful things you can do are:
Start connecting symptoms (PMS, fatigue, mood swings, cramps) to hormones
Take the Period Report Card Quiz to see just how imbalanced your symptoms currently are
Begin understanding how minerals impact happy hormones
Knowledge creates clarity. Then clarity creates momentum.
Basics Brittany
Most women in my community land here.
You’re a Basics Brittany if:
- You understand your cycle phases at a basic level
- You know minerals affect hormones
- You’re curious about functional testing but unsure what’s right for you
- You’re ready to do more than just scroll Instagram for answers
This is where establishing consistency with foundational habits really starts to matter.
Your focus here should be:
#1 Tracking Your Cycle
Start noting:
- When your period begins and ends
- Cervical mucus changes
- Daily basal body temperature
This gives you real insight into ovulation and hormone patterns.
#2 Add Daily Minerals
Incorporating a mineral or electrolyte drink daily can be a game changer for happy hormones.
Minerals support:
- Energy production
- Stress response
- Blood sugar balance
- Hormone signaling
This alone often helps women feel more stable, energized, and supported.
#3 Explore Your Next Step
This is also the stage where it makes sense to explore functional testing or personalized support—not because you have to, but because you’re ready for clarity and direction.

Action Allison
Action Allisons are done guessing. They’re ready for change & improvement with their symptoms yesterday.
You’re here if:
You’re tracking your cycle
You’re off birth control (or ready to be)
You’re already using minerals or electrolytes
You understand fueling your body properly
You’re ready to address root causes instead of guessing at what’s causing your symptoms
This stage is about intentional action.
This is where personalized care plans, functional testing, and deeper hormone support make the biggest impact. It’s also where many women finally start seeing lasting changes in energy, PMS, cramps, and cycle regularity.
Happy Haley
The ultimate goal is to be a Happy Haley. They have:
Regular cycles
Minimal cramps
Manageable PMS
Reasonable flow
- Optimized fertility (yes, that’s important even if you don’t want to get pregnant)
A solid understanding of their body’s innerworkings
This doesn’t mean perfection, it means your hormones feel predictable and supportive, not chaotic or overly dramatic.
At this stage, the goal is maintenance:
Continue cycle and temperature tracking
Support blood sugar and nutrition
Use at-home hormone tracking tools when needed
Do yearly HTMA testing to keep a pulse on minerals
Stay connected to ongoing support
Happy hormones aren’t about doing nothing—they’re about staying proactive & consistency over time.
Why Progressing Through the Happier Hormones Roadmap Works
The biggest mistake I see women make is trying to jump straight to advanced protocols without building the foundation first.
This roadmap helps you:
Stop comparing your journey to someone else’s
Take aligned steps based on where you’re currently at
Avoid overwhelm
Move toward happy hormones in a realistic, sustainable way
Wherever you are right now is okay. What matters is knowing how to move forward.
