Balancing Hormones Naturally

Hormones — such as estrogen, progesterone, testosterone, thyroid, insulin and cortisol — determine how you look, feel, perform, and experience life. They affect every aspect of your health. When your hormones are out of balance, your whole life is out of balance!

Feel tired all the time? Wake up exhausted? Hit snooze button 4 times before you finally drag yourself out of bed?

Shedding your hair all the time? Watching your ponytail get thinner and thinner, and your hair rapidly lose that youthful luster?

Gaining weight around the mid section or hips that no diets or exercise can fix?

Cannot fall asleep or stay asleep?

Dread your monthly cycles because of cramps, PMS and bloating that slow you down at the office and make you just want to crawl into bed?

Snapping at your spouse and kids way too often for no apparent reason? Watching helplessly the growing strain in your relationship?

Feel like you are missing on life? Your low energy is barely enough for your job and basic chores, the hobbies and things you enjoy became the thing of the past? Your libido is almost gone, and touch seems irritating now?

You don’t feel like yourself anymore, and you know something is “off”?

Hormones are chemical messengers that control your sleep, energy, mood, hunger, determine how fast you burn fat, how well you handle stress, turn on or off sexual desire, and affect every function in your body. No wonder when your hormones are out of balance, your whole body gets out of balance!

Imagine playing with your kids or grandkids, and having energy for your husband!

Optimal health is possible. We can help you get to that day.

Optimizing hormones is the key to restoring vitality and living a happier, youthful life.

BALANCING YOUR HORMONES

There are many factors that influence your hormones and can get them out of balance. In our younger years our hormones get affected by poor gut health, certain toxins, poor lifestyle habits, chronic stress and sleep deprivation, nutritional deficiencies, food sensitivities, some medications, infections, or chronic illness, over-exercising or lack of any physical activity. Multiple or difficult pregnancies may contribute to the struggle.

Of course, aging process speeds up with each decade. Once we reach our 40s, our hormonal balance begins to shift. It can happen even as early as our 30s in the setting of chronic inflammation and stress.

Finally, as we enter our 50s (and for some even in 40s), women transition to menopause (and men into andropause). Our hormones decline much further, and women are become at risk for the diseases of aging, such as heart disease, dementia, autoimmunity.

It is important to be very strategic about appropriate diet, detoxification, healthy lifestyle, and hormone optimization, if you want to live long healthy life. If is also important to understand that our needs change with each decade of our life.

If you are not feeling your best, you need to work with a savvy practitioner who is trained in all the intricates of hormonal health.

Potential Causes of Hormonal Imbalances

Hormones get out of balance due to poor gut health, inadequate nutrition, too much or too little exercise, poor lifestyle habits, severe or prolonged stress, or too many toxins from plastics, makeup, cleaning supplies and even residual pesticides in food.

MAJOR CAUSES OF HORMONAL IMBALANCES:

Age: every woman will experience menopause. Average age in US is 52. Perimenopause begins 10-12 years prior to menopause. It can begin even earlier due to high stress or inflammation.
Food allergies & gut flora imbalances: The bacteria in your gut plays a crucial role in hormone regulation and may be the root of many chronic illnesses. IBS, SIBO, leaky gut syndrome or a lack of good gut bacteria increase your risk for hormonal imbalances. Hidden food sensitivities cause inflammation and can wreck your hormones as well.
Weight gain or obesity: can be both, cause and result of your hormonal imbalance
High levels of inflammation caused by a poor diet, sedentary lifestyle or chronic stress
Genetic predisposition
High levels of toxins including pesticides, harmful bacteria, parasites, viruses, cigarette smoke, excessive alcohol, some drugs, harmful chemicals like mercury, lead and formaldehyde
High amounts of stress and regular release of stress hormones like cortisol, paired with a lack of rest and deep sleep.

The earlier hormonal imbalances are diagnosed, the sooner you can optimize them, naturally, decrease risk of disease, slow down biological clock, and start feeling your best again.
