About The Hormone Nest
Why We Exist
At The Hormone Nest, we help women in their 30s to 50s navigate the ups and downs of hormonal changes — from PMS and perimenopause to menopause, PCOS, and beyond.
Our mission is simple: to make you feel seen, supported, and empowered with practical, science-backed solutions you can trust — no medical degree or expensive treatments required.
Our Story
The Hormone Nest was born from a place of frustration and hope.
In our late 30s, we faced the same struggles many women know too well — unexplained fatigue, mood swings, bloating, irregular cycles. Doctors gave quick fixes and vague answers, but nothing truly worked. We felt dismissed, overwhelmed, and alone.
Instead of giving up, we took a different path. We began researching, testing, and connecting with other women who were on the same journey. Slowly, things started to change. With clarity, compassion, and the right tools, balance became possible again.
What We Believe
- Your symptoms are real and they deserve to be understood, not dismissed.
- Knowledge is power — but it should be clear, practical, and easy to apply.
- You are not alone — there’s a community of women walking this path together.

About the Author
Ons Chrysogelos, BSc (Biology), MSc (Hydrobiology)
Biologist, evidence translator, and women’s health advocate
I’m a biologist with a BSc in Biology and an MSc in Hydrobiology. My academic and research background trained me to evaluate scientific evidence, understand endocrine pathways, and translate complex biology into clear, practical guidance. During my postgraduate work, I developed a strong focus on how environmental factors – including endocrine-disrupting chemicals – affect hormonal systems. That lens helps me explore women’s health topics with both scientific rigor and everyday relevance.
What this means for you: every article on The Hormone Nest aims to be compassionate, clear, and grounded in high-quality evidence. I synthesize peer‑reviewed research and trusted clinical guidelines into approachable resources you can actually use.
- Areas of interest: perimenopause, menstrual health, metabolic health (insulin resistance, blood sugar), thyroid basics, environmental influences on hormones, and practical lifestyle strategies.
- Methods I value: evidence appraisal, plain-language summaries, and clear distinctions between established guidance and emerging research.

How We Create Content (Editorial Standards)
We follow a simple, transparent approach to keep our content helpful and trustworthy:
- Sources we rely on: peer‑reviewed studies (PubMed), systematic reviews, and guidelines from reputable organizations (e.g., Endocrine Society, WHO, NICE, ACOG).
- Evidence grading:
- A: Guidelines/systematic reviews
- B: RCTs/cohort studies
- C: Mechanistic/plausible evidence
- D: Anecdotal or experiential insights
- Updates: We review and update key pages at least annually or when major guidance changes.
- Corrections: If we get something wrong, we will correct it promptly. To suggest a correction, please contact us via thehormonenest@gmail.com
Where relevant, articles include a “Published” and “Updated” date, references, and a brief note on how we evaluated the evidence.
