From Exhausted to Energised: Client N’s Story of Reducing High Prolactin Naturally

She came to me exhausted.
No matter what she ate (or didn’t eat), the weight wouldn’t budge. Her energy was low, her skin felt inflamed, her immunity was weak, and her periods? Irregular and unpredictable.
What made it harder was the lack of answers.
Every test seemed “normal,” every doctor visit ended with a new pill — from iron to OCPs to another multivitamin.
But one hormone was quietly screaming for help: Prolactin.
Wait, prolactin? Isn’t that the breastfeeding hormone?
Yes — but also, no.
While prolactin is known for its role in milk production, it influences so much more than that.
From fat storage, immunity, menstrual health, thyroid function, liver support, to even calcium absorption, prolactin is a powerful yet often overlooked hormone — especially in women who aren’t pregnant.
When it rises without reason, it often goes unaddressed — until the symptoms can’t be ignored anymore.
The Problem: Why High Prolactin Is So Sneaky
High prolactin doesn’t just cause one or two symptoms. It disrupts your entire hormonal orchestra, interfering with testosterone, progesterone, and thyroid hormones — making you feel tired, inflamed, and stuck in a cycle of poor health.
⚠️ The signs she was living with (maybe you are too)
Persistent low energy
Breast tenderness
Weight gain despite eating "clean"
Irregular cycles
Poor immunity
Skin rashes, constant sneezing, gas & burping
And most frustrating of all: no clarity
🔍 We dug deeper — and here’s what we found
She had been in a calorie deficit for over a year. She ate the same 10 foods, avoided “trigger” items, and relied on oral contraceptives to “fix” her periods.
Work stress was high, sleep was broken, and movement was either intense cardio or nothing at all.
This was not a prolactin problem alone. This was a whole-body burnout.
And that’s exactly what we addressed — step by step — inside the JNS program at UD. No shortcuts. No detoxes. Just personalized, evidence-based action.
💡 Here’s what worked (and why)
🌾 Gut Diversity, Not Diets
“I thought I was eating healthy — oats, eggs, protein shakes, no sugar... but why was I bloated and tired all the time?”
Because when you eat the same foods daily, your gut microbiome becomes poor in diversity — and so does your hormone balance.
We gently:
✔️ Stopped the calorie deficit
✔️ Added back diverse, local foods
✔️ Discontinued OCP (under her gynecologist’s guidance)
This alone removed several stressors from her body and gave her gut the fiber, nutrients, and bacterial diversity it needed to regulate prolactin.
🧘♀️ Mindful Nutrition > Stress Eating
Stress isn’t always about deadlines and traffic — it lives in how we think about food, our bodies, and even hunger.
We introduced:
Nervous system support through breathwork
Food journaling with non-judgmental reflection
Rewiring childhood beliefs around body image & control
This reduced emotional inflammation — the kind labs don’t always catch, but the body always remembers.
🌙 Sleep Cycle Reset
Most people are unaware that melatonin and dopamine influence prolactin levels.
We focused on:
Consistent sleep-wake times
Screen cut-off rituals
Evening nourishment + magnesium-rich foods
Light movement after dinner
Small shifts that created deep hormonal balance.
🍞 Histamine Support (Yes, it's connected!)
She had unexplained burping, rashes, itchy skin, and low immunity — all pointing to histamine overload, which can trigger high prolactin.
We:
❌ Gradually reduced refined sugar, alcohol, wheat, and dairy
✅ Added anti-histamine foods (I’ve shared a reel on this — do check it out!)
✅ Supported gut repair to break the histamine cycle
🧘♀️🏋️♀️ Aligned Movement, Not More Cardio
Her body was in fight or flight — and her workouts were pushing it further.
Instead of more reps and more sweat, we chose:
Gentle yoga
Pilates
Slow strength training
Walks in the sun
Movement that healed, not drained.
Supplements — Only When Needed
After addressing the root causes, we added targeted supplements in the right forms and doses — no megadoses, no guesswork.
The Result: A New Chapter of Energy & Balance
In just 4 months:
✔️ Reduced Prolactin levels from 61ng/mL to 28ng/mL
✔️ Sleep and energy improved
✔️ Periods became regular
✔️ Gut issues reduced
✔️ And most importantly — she felt in sync with her body again
Why This Matters For You
Client N’s journey wasn’t about random fixes or quick pills to lower her prolactin. It was about understanding her body’s signals, working with—not against—it, and taking aligned, personalized steps at the right time.
If you feel stuck with unexplained fatigue, period issues, or hormonal imbalances — your story deserves this kind of care too.
