Hormone-Balancing Rules To Live By
Hormone-Balancing Rules To Live By
I remember walking the street in New York on a sunny
winter's day. I was dumbfounded that I was tired, could not sleep well at night,
and could hang on to belly fat despite a nearly perfect exercise program.
I went to my family doctor who told me that everything was
"normal". But since I did not feel normal, I started my own research
and found my symptoms: bad mood, tiredness, insomnia, premenstrual syndrome,
swelling, brain veil, acne. I asked some of my most trusted master friends, but
they could not find an explanation. When I searched for these symptoms on
Google, I was postmenopausal, but I was young and otherwise healthy and although
she was not near the menopause. I needed urgent answers.
After many conversations, books and scientific articles, I
realized that I was dealing with a case of hormonal imbalance for which Western
medicine still does not have a good title or treatment, but that is quite
common and goes with one Imbalance of intestinal microbiome associated. Even my
own medical colleagues, who had undergone extensive training, sympathized with
me for having similar symptoms, but no diagnosis or "proven" medical
solution.
Sometimes, when you listen to your own body and make proactive
changes to your diet and lifestyle, it's the right answer. And that's what I
did. My path to healing had been trial and error, but I finally ended the
lifestyle changes that really changed my life, as well as the hundreds of
people I helped to remedy. to their hormonal imbalances since then. In
transforming my own health, I understand that this is an area where nutrition,
ancient medicine and modern medicine are found.
1. Be careful with hormone therapy and artificial hormones.
It is so tempting to solve a hormonal problem simply by
adding hormones. I tried this method by getting over-the-counter progesterone
cream, but I almost immediately started with side effects like acne. Worse,
I've read studies linking hormone therapy to cancer. (A recent study has even
shown that low-dose hormonal contraceptives and hormonal IUDs pose a similar
risk!) Hormone therapy has long been considered dangerous, and I've learned
that foods are really drugs when they're hormonal
Its elimination: Use hormonal contraceptives as a last
resort to treat the symptoms of hormonal imbalance.
2. Make sugar a very casual gift.
Sugar is a hormone pump. Those who control our weight,
hunger and blood sugar levels, such as insulin, leptin and ghrelin, become less
effective if they consume sugar chronically. The hormones of metabolism
determine the level of fat burning and also have a major impact on your energy
level and your menstrual cycles. Insulin and leptin resistance not only lead to
fat storage; They increase inflammation and affect your estrogen and
testosterone levels.
Your snack: See sugar as an occasional treat. Make sure that
the foods you consume, such as coffee drinks, yoghurt, nut butters, cereal
bars, and milk-free milk, contain no sugar or are low in sugar.
3. Eat cruciferous vegetables.
Broccoli, cauliflower and kale fix excess hormone in the gut
and expel it. It is a natural detoxification! Indole-3-carbinol has been shown
to help control estrogen by binding to excess estrogen and improve gut
microbiotics, leading to better hormonal health.
Your snack: Try to eat 3 to 5 cups of this vegetable every
day. Even if it's a healthy dining room, this may seem like a stretch, but it's
worth it! Remember to start slowly with cruciferous vegetables, otherwise you
will feel bloated.
4. Be realistic about your stress level.
You may have heard that chronic stress can disrupt your
hormonal balance, but you may not have realized that it can be a strenuous
exercise or an extreme diet (such as a low-carbohydrate diet or prolonged
fasting). , I firmly believe in intermittent fasting, but you MUST realize that
it strains your body. The reduction of body stress (and also emotional stress!)
Is often overlooked by diet and exercise. Yoga, meditation or a few minutes of
mindfulness during the day can help you.
Your Delivery: Did you know that moving your stress hormones
is amazing when you are in the nature especially in the morning? to attempt
5. Think of adaptions.
I love all adaptions, but Ashwagandha, Rhodiola and Maca
Root are some of my favorites. They can be very powerful and powerful, so you
need to work with a professional before you try. If you do everything right for
stress management, nutrition and exercise, Adaptions can be a very good
hormonal balance.
Your delivery: Try 300 to 600 milligrams Ashwagandha or 200
milligrams Rhodiola. Make sure you talk to a doctor and get it from a reliable
source!
6. Prioritize intestinal health.
It may be a strange feat, but improving your gut can work
wonders for your hormonal balance. In fact, the microbiome looks like another
endocrine system with all the new research into the production and modulation
of hormones. Did you know that intestinal bacteria modulate estrogen,
progesterone and testosterone? Healthy intestinal bacteria can also suppress
autoimmune antibodies to the thyroid, such as those in Hashimoto.
The health of the gut and microbes is the abbreviation for
healthy hormones as the gut modulates and excretes hormones (and now we believe
that it also produces). Society always tends to refer to bacteria as
"bad," but the bacteria are really good. Walk barefoot, work in the
garden, share food and avoid spicy cleansers and preservatives
