Are you waking up exhausted, yet can’t fall asleep at night because you’re feeling both tired & wired at the same time? 😴🥱💤
Well, you’re certainly not alone… many of our patients experience these signs of hormonal imbalances that wreck their quality of life.
And unfortunately, most conventional practitioners don’t have time to listen to you (in a 7-minute appointment) and don’t even think to talk about hormones. They are taught to treat symptoms with medications and may not suspect your hormone balance is to blame.
Say what??? Hormones? Don’t worry if you have no idea what to do to balance them. Many of the strategies I’ll give you in this post are not only great for your hormones but also for your whole body!
There are no miracle pills 💊💊💊 to balance your hormones. You may have heard of hormone replacement which may help short term but doesn’t address other issues that mess with your hormones… like gut infections.
So what are the best ways to balance your hormones? First, I suggest getting tested to see where you are… but in the meanwhile, there are plenty of proactive ways to ditch the things that sabotage your hormone balance.
First off, start in your kitchen! A lot of the worst offenders are things we put in our mouths and on our skin:
✅ Don’t drink out of plastic bottles (they contain hormone-disrupting chemicals in the plastic).
✅ Do organic produce – because conventional produce is full of pesticides that can destroy your gut bugs and hit your immunity hard (frozen organic is ok).
✅ Drink only filtered water because tap water can contain heavy metals and chlorine YUCK 💦
✅ Heard the saying “Don’t put on your skin what you won’t put in your mouth?”
Things you put on your skin every day get absorbed in your bloodstream and work as hormone disruptors! Upgrade your beauty to safer options – see how your current products stack up!
✅ Chuck the junk food 🍟🍔 and heal your gut!! Replace the highly processed, packaged, and restaurant junk food (yep corner shop pizza 🍕 too) with fresh fruit 🍓🍌, vegetables 🥕🥬, healthy fats (think olive oil and avocado🥑), and good quality proteins including grass-fed and pasture-raised. It’s all about eating REAL food.
