To my sweet Brooke. Im so thankful that we tackled this beast of a book together! Theres nobody else in the world Id rather ride on unicorn floaties in Lake George or write life-changing books with. Thank you, for taking on this never-ending project with me and for sticking by me through all the crazy that life has thrown our way! Im so grateful for you, and I love you.

To John, this book would not have happened without your tireless hours of reading, editing, and input, as well as your unwavering love and support. I am incredibly lucky to have you standing by me.

To Coby, Jaden, and Rowan. From editing to errand running to comedic relief, all of you helped so much with this project. Thank you, for being the most understanding boys a mom whos writing a hormone health book could have; the three of you are my why, and I love you each completely and endlessly.

Sister and Brother, thank you, for being the best, most supportive, loving, and encouraging siblings ever. I love you both to the moon and beyond.

To Mom. You are still, and forever will be, my inspiration. To Dad. You are right: we are the most blessed family, and I couldnt have made it this far without you.

Thank you, Sarah. I cant imagine working this hard on anything with anyone else and I wouldnt want to. You were the missing piece to my work and my life, I love you. Im also so grateful for your Chico fam: John, Jess, Lynn, America, Mike, Blaire, Lisa, and Tracithank you, for everything you do to support our work.

Lastly, Joe and my girls, I love you all so much. Gigi, your spunk embodies #bewhoyouare and all my stress melts away when I kiss your sweet cheeks. Lola, you are the smartest, kindest person I know, and this book would not be possible without you playing with your little sister for days on end as I sat for far too many hours at the computer.
