An imbalance of hormones can wreck havoc on fertility, weight, sleep, and skin. Most of the time, these issues are treated on the surface, often through medication. Here are safe and natural ways to balance hormones and help deeper healing.
2. It’s All About the Hormones
• Hormones travel in your bloodstream to tissues and organs and affect many
different processes, including metabolism, sexual function, reproduction,
mood and more.
• If you have improved your diet, started exercising, etc. but are still not losing
weight or improving your health markers, there may be an underlying problem
with hormone balance.
3. So what can you
do to balance
your hormones
naturally?
5. • Don’t eat fats like vegetable
oil, peanut oil, canola oil,
soybean oil, margarine,
shortening, or other
chemically altered fats
• Choose fats like coconut oil,
real butter, olive oil and
animal fats from healthy
sources instead and eat lots
of high Omega-3 fish
9. • Harmful chemicals found in
pesticides, plastics, household
cleaners, and even mattresses
can contain hormone disrupting
chemicals that mimic hormones
in the body and keep the body
from producing real hormones
• Beauty products are another
source of chemical exposure for
many people
• Start by making simple switches
like homemade deodorant
and homemade lotion
11. • During sleep, your body is
extremely active removing
toxins, recharging the mind, and
creating hormones. Skimping on
sleep, even for one night, can
have a tremendous impact on
hormones
• Get a lot of natural light during
the day, avoid artificial lights,
establish a bedtime routine, and
take a relaxing magnesium salt
bath before bed
13. •We live in a world where
the food supply is often
depleted of nutrients
•Certain supplements
like Maca, magnesium,
and Vitamin D are
helpful for hormone
balance
15. • For those with hormone
imbalance, intense
extended exercise can
actually make the
problem worse in the
short term
• Focusing on relaxing
exercises like walking or
swimming and avoiding
the extended running,
cardio, and exercise
videos, can help the
body in the short term
21. • Leptin is a master hormone, and
if it is out of balance or if you are
resistant to it, no other
hormones will balance well.
• Fixing leptin will also help boost
fertility, make weight loss easier,
improve sleep, and lower
inflammation
