5 Essentials For Healthi Hormones

In my video I went over the 5 things you need to know to start healing your hormones. Here is a quick summary: 

1. Don't skip healthy fats. Healthy fats are essential building blocks for cholesterol which is the starting material for all of your steroid hormones. If you are on a very low fat diet your hormones could get imbalanced. 
2. More fat cells can mean more estrogen. Fat cells, along with the ovaries, produce estrogen. The more fat is stored, the higher your levels or estrogen may be, which commonly contributes to difficulty losing weight. One of the biggest risk factors for hormonal imbalance is excess belly fat. 
3. Best time to check hormones. For premenopausal women, it is in luteal phase. This usually falls 3 weeks after the first day of your last cycle. If you are on birth control or don't have regular cycles, the timing is different. 
4. Should you test your hormones if you are on birth control? It really depends on the client. If you do move forward with testing, know that estrogen, progesterone, and testosterone are usually lower than they would be without the influence of oral contraceptives. 
5. Stress always wins. Cortisol is necessary to live as a human, but your sex hormones are not. This means that if cortisol is constantly being preferred due to frequent stress then your estrogen, progesterone and testosterone are likely getting imbalanced. 

I actually was just given a promo offer from the hormone lab I am partnered with. I got 5 hormone and organic acid testing kits at a huge discount which means I want to offer a discounted price to you! The first 5 to reach out get the kit and a results consult for $399, usually $499!  This in depth test will tell us the status on your sex hormones, sleep hormones, stress hormones, nutrient metabolism, gut health, brain inflammation and more. It is an at home urine kit I ship to your house. Email me at [email protected] if you are interested! 

Stay Healthi,
