Episode 105: Melatonin: The Hormone Everyone Thinks Is Just a Supplement


Melatonin isn't just a supplement you grab at the drugstore—it's a hormone. And it's doing so much more in your body than just making you drowsy at bedtime. From supporting ovulation and progesterone production to reducing menstrual migraines, helping with perimenopause sleep issues, and even promoting hair growth, melatonin is essential for women's hormonal health. In this episode, I'm breaking down what melatonin actually is, how it works, what suppresses it, and when (and if) you should supplement.

In this episode we explore:

  • What melatonin actually is

  • How melatonin supports ovulation, reduces menstrual migraines, and helps with perimenopause sleep disruptions

  • What suppresses melatonin production

  • Why you need to support your body's natural melatonin production before reaching for supplements
