Women and Hormones

Proper hormone balance is essential for optimal health and can swerve off course as a result of aging, stress, toxicity, and how we metabolize their effects.  Hormones include so much more than estrogen, progesterone, and testosterone.  Understanding how cortisol, melatonin, and play a role in your health and communicate with others such as thyroid are critical to experiencing optimal health. 

We will share a few keys that are often missed in traditional testing. Ultimately leaving you chasing symptoms.

There are many causes of hormone imbalances and our modern day culture is a major contributor. Many people would agree to have an abundance of mental stress on a daily basis. Possibly even more importantly, chemical stress comes in many forms. A few common endocrine disruptors would include: phthalates (flexible plastics), BPA (hard plastics), herbicides and pesticides which are ALL known disruptors of our sex hormones.

There are two major parts here

1. Measuring and managing your stressors. Both mental AND chemical stressors are key factors for success. Being mindfully of known daily exposure is critical.

   Simple examples

   ~ Download a meditation or breathing app

   ~ Buy BPA-free lined cans/water bottles

   ~ Purchase non-GMO foods

   ~ Read labels on self care products/cosmetics

2. Measuring and understanding how YOUR body is making, using and clearing its sex hormones will offer clarity on how to support you properly.
