    BLOOD SUGAR BALANCE

    To support stable blood sugar levels, a balanced diet is essential. Regular meals should combine protein, healthy fats, and complex carbs. High-glycemic foods, refined sugars, and simple carbs are limited to prevent insulin surges that may upset hormone balance.

    GUT HEALTH

    Maintaining a healthy gut is important for hormone balance. Dysbiosis, or gut bacteria imbalance, can contribute to estrogen dominance. A diet high in fiber, fermented foods, and probiotics supports hormone regulation.

    DETOXIFICATION SUPPORT

    The liver detoxifies hormones, including estrogen. Eating antioxidant-rich foods, sulfur-rich vegetables like garlic and cruciferous types, and staying hydrated promotes efficient hormone breakdown. Reducing alcohol and processed foods minimizes liver stress.

    STRESS MANAGEMENT

    PHYSICAL ACTIVITY

    Consistent, moderate exercise supports hormone balance by reducing stress, enhancing insulin sensitivity, and aiding weight management. However, over-exercising may cause hormonal issues, especially in women, so it's crucial to customize the intensity and frequency of workouts.

    MONITORING AND ADJUSTMENTS

    Hormone levels should be routinely assessed through blood tests, and dietary and lifestyle interventions should be tailored based on individual responses. Ongoing monitoring ensures the method remains effective as the body evolves.

TARGETED SUPPLEMENTATION

Adaptogens: Using herbs such as ashwagandha, Rhodiola, and maca can promote healthy adrenal function and assist in balancing cortisol levels.

Micronutrients: Important nutrients such as magnesium, vitamin D, B vitamins, and zinc are necessary for hormone balance and production. If you aren’t getting enough from your diet, you may need supplements.

Herbal Support: Herbs such as Vitex or Chaste Tree Berry are known for their ability to support hormone balance, particularly in cases of PMS and menstrual irregularities.
