Are you ready for happy hormones in 2023? It may actually be simpler than you realize...
When it comes to hormone balance, simple lifestyle shifts are often the key to feeling our best- and simple shifts are actually more lasting than all those New Year's Resolutions!
Here are 6 simple but mighty practices that go a LONG way toward greater hormone health, less inflammation, and also greater mind and mood ease.
In 2023 embrace hormone health by:
🥑Making blood sugar balance a lifestyle- Focus on whole foods, healthy fats, lots of fiber + protein, moving after meals, and more. Our hormones thrive off of balanced blood sugar as do our moods & sleep. Listen to my podcast episode with the for simple and sustainable habits!
🥦Eating more plants- not only are plant foods rich in hormone-healthy nutrients but they are also full of fiber that supports a healthy gut and estrogen levels. The more diversity of plants we eat in our diet, the healthier our guts!
🍷Minimizing the alcohol- alcohol acts as an endocrine disruptor and can even throw off our hormone balance. Try trading out for a relaxing tea, sparkling water, ACV in water, or for special occasions, a mocktail!
🏃🏻♀️Moving your body for 30 minutes a day- Daily movement such as walking or dancing is not only powerful for our moods and mind but also keeps our digestion healthier- helpful for hormones, blood sugar balance, and reducing inflammation.
💤Practicing better sleep- limiting screen time before bed can really help your body ease into a restful sleep. Good sleep is one of the most important habits for balanced hormones and overall health.
🧘♀️Pausing more- stress is a major cause of hormone imbalance. Take time regularly to slow down & connect with your breath. Not only does this practice reduce stress, but it helps us get out of survival mode.
