Jami's newest book is here and it's an important one!
Introducing Jami’s Most Personal Book Yet—A Friendly, Faith-Filled Guide to Understanding Your Hormones
If you’ve ever felt like your body is working against you—if you’ve experienced the rollercoaster of mood swings, fatigue, irregular cycles, or that mysterious “off” feeling you can’t quite name—you’re not alone. And more importantly, you’re not broken.
In Cycles & Seasons, Jami Balmet invites you to pull up a chair and learn what every woman deserves to know: how your hormones work, how they shift through the seasons of life, and how to care for your body with peace and purpose.
As a mom of eight, Jami has walked through wild hormonal highs and lows—from postpartum crashes to adrenal fatigue to finally discovering the joy of working with her body instead of against it. This book is a warm, practical guide for women who want to understand how God designed their bodies and how to support that design naturally.
But this is more than just a science book or a hormone manual. It’s a Christ-centered perspective on stewarding our health without falling into fear, control, or overwhelm.
In these pages, you’ll discover:
-
How your 28-day hormone cycle is beautifully designed by God (and why understanding it changes everything)
-
What’s happening in your body during puberty, pregnancy, postpartum, perimenopause, and menopause
-
How women’s hormones and rhythms differ from men’s—and why it matters
-
Natural, research-backed ways to support your hormones with food, rest, and lifestyle habits
-
How to approach hormonal imbalances, PMS, infertility, and cycle confusion with grace and confidence
-
A biblical reminder that God is ultimately in control—and that you don’t have to get everything perfect to walk in health and peace
Jami gently guides you through each season of womanhood with clarity, humility, and a deep trust in God’s perfect design. You’ll walk away from this book feeling equipped, educated, and encouraged—with practical tools to take care of your body and a peaceful heart that trusts the Lord through every cycle and season.
