kateandlisaThey Don’t End There
If you happen to be dealing with period problems – PMS, mood swings, painful breasts, no libido, hot flashes, night sweats, brain fog or anything you suspect might be your hormones, this post is for you!
Yes, it might be your hormones. Also, your hormones might be out of whack because of one of these 6 contributing cause that I see most often in my practice:
- Poor detoxification (estrogen is metabolized in the liver)
- Poor gut health (estrogen metabolites are eliminated in everyday healthy bowel movements
- Stress (stress causes the body to favor cortisol production over progesterone)
- Blood sugar imbalances (spikes in blood sugar and insulin lower the levels of SHBG, increasing free estrogen and testosterone)
- Nutrient depletion (magnesium and B6 are especially important for hormone metabolism)
- Xenoestrogens (everyday chemicals can mimic our hormones)
Don’t worry! This is my job to figure this out for you and to make sense of it all!
If you want to be empowered in your health and prefer a root-cause approach, you are in the right place. Let’s chat for the next steps on how I can help you optimize your hormonal health. A functional lab test may be helpful. Together we can put the puzzle pieces together and develop a personalized plan of action for you. I’m here to help!
