About I'm Hormonal®

Built on the belief that your symptoms are signals.

I'm Hormonal® is a functional nutrition practice for women. The work begins with a simple premise: the symptoms most women are told to accept — the bloating, the irregular periods, the fatigue that won't lift — are not things to manage. They're things to understand.

The practice

Where functional nutrition meets real life.

I'm Hormonal® was founded on a frustration most of our clients recognize immediately: the conventional healthcare system is better at naming symptoms than understanding them. Women are dismissed, handed birth control or antidepressants, and told their labs are "normal" — when something is clearly not.

Functional nutrition offers a different approach. Instead of suppressing symptoms, the goal is to understand what's driving them — using thorough intake interviews, functional lab testing, and personalized protocols built from real data.

The practice brings together practitioners with complementary specialties: functional hormone and gut health, and pregnancy and postpartum nutrition. Both rooted in the same philosophy — that your body is communicating something worth listening to.

Functional nutrition approach
01

Root Cause First

Addressing underlying drivers — not just symptoms — is the only way to create changes that actually last.

02

Data Over Guesswork

Functional lab testing removes the guesswork and gives both practitioner and client a clear picture of what's actually happening.

03

Sustainable Over Perfect

Protocols designed to work in a real, full life — not a 27-step morning routine. Consistency over intensity, always.

Founder & Practitioner

Meet Bridget Walton.

Bridget Walton, Founder of I'm Hormonal®

For years, I lived with symptoms I'd eventually accepted as just part of my life: chronic bloating, fatigue, and persistent vaginal discomfort from candida overgrowth that no one seemed able to fully resolve. I had tried different protocols, different diets, different doctors — and kept getting the same answer: normal.

It wasn't until I started learning about the gut-hormone connection that things started to shift. I began to see how the gut dysbiosis I'd been dealing with was directly affecting my hormonal health — and that addressing one without the other would never get me to the other side. When I started working at the root level, I finally started feeling better.

That experience — of feeling dismissed, cycling through generic advice, and eventually finding real answers — is what led me to leave a career in corporate America and build I'm Hormonal®. I wanted to give women the kind of support I wish I'd had: data-backed, personalized, and rooted in actually listening to the body.

I'm a Nutritional Therapy Practitioner (NTP) and Restorative Health Practitioner (RHP), specializing in functional hormone and gut health. I work with women navigating hormone imbalance, gut dysfunction, PCOS, irregular cycles, chronic fatigue, skin concerns, and more — and with women who are preparing for or going through pregnancy.

Pregnancy & Postpartum Practitioner

Meet Leslie Knueven.

Leslie Knueven, Pregnancy and Postpartum Nutritional Therapy Practitioner
Nutritional Therapy Practitioner (NTP, in progress) Pregnancy & Postpartum Nutrition Lactation Support

Nourishment through pregnancy, birth, and beyond.

Leslie brings a practitioner perspective shaped by personal experience: as a mother of three, she understands firsthand how much the body's nutritional needs shift through pregnancy, the fourth trimester, and breastfeeding — and how little support most women actually receive during that season.

Her work focuses on building personalized nutrition foundations for each stage: optimizing nutrient intake during pregnancy, supporting postpartum recovery, and addressing the unique demands of lactation. Every plan is tailored to where the client is and what she needs.

Leslie is currently completing her Nutritional Therapy Practitioner (NTP) certification through the Nutritional Therapy Association.
