Hormones play a fundamental role in regulating mood, cognition, and energy metabolism in women. Fluctuations in estrogen, progesterone, cortisol, and thyroid hormones profoundly affect emotional stability, stress responses, and metabolic efficiency. This review explores how hormonal variations throughout a woman's life—including menstruation, pregnancy, and menopause—impact brain chemistry, mood regulation, and energy balance. Understanding these mechanisms is critical for developing personalized strategies to enhance mental and physical health.
