Hormonal Balancing

Taking a holistic approach towards one's health can be beneficial to overall well-being. By making mindful choices such as nourishing your body with a balanced diet full of cruciferous vegetables, antioxidants, and fiber, engaging in regular exercise, managing stress, and prioritizing plenty of sleep, you can promote hormonal balance. Additionally, incorporating practices that support liver function, such as reducing exposure to environmental toxins and using clean ingredients in personal care and household products, can also be beneficial. It's important to know that you're not alone in this journey. With knowledge, support, and commitment to self-care, you can empower yourself to make positive changes that contribute to navigating these challenges and living a healthier and more balanced life.

Practice self care by eating a balanced diet.
Lower your Sugar Intake
Minimize your added sugar intake especially those that include modified and refined sugars. Diets that are high in sugar have been shown to promote insulin resistance, disrupt the gut microbiome, and reduce leptin production (the fullness hormone resulting in weight gain). Lowering your sugar intake may overall benefit hormonal health.
​
Eat Plenty of Protein
Protein provides essential amino acids that your body can not produce on its own. Your body also requires eating enough protein to produce protein-derived hormones — also known as peptide hormones. The endocrine glands then convert these hormones from amino acids. Peptide hormones play a crucial role in regulating many physiological processes, such as growth, energy metabolism, appetite, stress, and reproduction
It is recommended to eat a minimum of 20–30 grams of protein per meal. You can accomplish this by incorporating high protein foods such as eggs, chicken breast, lentils, or fish in each meal
​
Consume a Diet full of Healthy Fats
Eating high quality natural fats may help reduce insulin resistance and appetite, as well as the stress hormone cortisol. Good sources of healthy fats can be found in foods such as avocados, almonds, macadamia nuts, fish, and pure olive and coconut oils.
​
Fiber is your Friend
Fiber is essential to a healthy diet. Studies have found that fiber intake increases insulin sensitivity and helps to stimulate the production of hormones that make you feel full. A healthy diet should include plenty of foods that are high in fiber including: legumes, leafy greens, fruits, and more.

Exercise Regularly
Working out regularly is crucial to help combat insulin resistance and promote insulin sensitivity. For more information, check out the workout page here!
Get Plenty of Sleep
No matter how consistent you are in your diet and exercise routine, getting enough restorative sleep is crucial for good health.
Lack of sleep is linked to the development of imbalances in many hormones, including insulin, cortisol, leptin, ghrelin, and HGH. Sleep deprivation can impair insulin sensitivity, and an increase cortisol levels.
