Hormonal imbalances are caused by a combination of factors. They can show your clients their diet, medical history, genetics, stress levels, and exposure to toxins from the environment.
Here are a few ways to balance hormones naturally:
1. Swap Carbs for Healthy Fats
Foods that balance hormones include a variety of fat-containing foods that provide short, medium, and long-chain fatty acids. The body needs various types of fats to create hormones, including saturated fat and cholesterol.
Not only are these essential fats fundamental building blocks for hormone production, but they keep inflammation levels low, boost metabolism, and promote weight loss.
2. Address Emotional Imbalances
Internal emotions directly impact a person’s health and addressing emotional imbalances, external factors, and lifestyle choices can help prevent health conditions associated with hormonal imbalances.
Practicing meditation or healing prayer can be extremely beneficial, and so can deep breathing exercises, spending time outdoors and exercising every day. Traditional Chinese Medicine therapies like acupuncture and massage can also help to improve hormonal balance, combat stress, and improve blood flow.
3. Beware of Medications and Birth Control
Are you aware of your client’s medications and their side effects? Some can disrupt hormone balance, leading to side effects like fatigue, appetite changes, altered sleeping patterns, low libido, sadness, and even depression.
Some medications that can mess with hormone balance include corticosteroids, stimulants, statins, dopamine agonists, rexinoids, and glucocorticoids. Beware of their drugs and have them talk to your doctor about the side effects and research natural alternatives whenever possible.
Cheers!
