Managing Your Hormones with Diet
Step 7: Processed foods can raise estrogen levels

Processed foods are another one to avoid as they can significantly raise estrogen levels. Experts suggest eating a diet rich in processed foods can lead to estrogen levels that are as much as double the “normal”, healthy levels. If you’re worried that your estrogen levels are on the high side, cutting back on processed and sugary foods is super important, along with “bad” fats and alcohol. Eating more fiber, especially from fruits and vegetables, and following a low GI diet can also help to bring estrogen levels back in balance again.

#4 Strategy: Work at Relaxing

Stress just makes everything worse, so work at relaxing.

It’s an unfortunate truth that most of us are unable to fling ourselves on our bed or hide out in a dark corner whenever our inner life becomes especially painful or bewildering, so you will need to find other ways to relieve tension and ease anxiety. Turn to an activity or thought that brings you peace.

You may also wish to try some of these tips:

Improve your posture to release stress. Sit up straight. Stand up and stretch. If you have the opportunity, lie flat on the floor, stretch out to your full length and then relax. Concentrate on each muscle one at a time, making sure none of them remain tight.

Breathing deeply and steadily can also help you relax and de-stress. It’s helpful in pushing you toward sleep when you’re lying bed wide awake. Lie still, tune out your tumbling thoughts and just breathe.

Some people find that journaling or writing poetry, even if it doesn’t end up making any sense, can help them relax and release tension, confusion, and anger.

Step 6: Soy can be a problem

If you already have an excess of estrogen, soy can be an issue. It contains some natural estrogens so it stands to raise your levels of this hormone even more. This is good news if you have low estrogen levels but it can be a big problem if your levels are already on the high side due to factors such as contraceptive pills and hormone-mimicking toxins from your lifestyle.

Soy contains isoflavones, which can increase the effects of hormones such as estrogen. The end result? You can end up with much higher estrogen levels than you realize, and this can present itself in problems such as heavy periods, bloating, acne, chronic headaches and mood swings.

There’s another problem with non-organic, GMO soy products too. They can often contain a chemical called glyphosate. And guess what? This is another known hormone disruptor. Fermented soy products avoid this, as do non-GMO, organic options.

You might find soy to be an issue if you’re a vegan, as many vegan-friendly foods are packed with soy and you can easily find yourself eating a lot of it.

If you suspect that your levels are already high, soy may be something you decide to stay clear of completely.

Managing Your Hormones with Diet Step 5:

Eating more low GI foods helps to balance hormones

Foods that rank highly on the Glycemic Index increase insulin levels and alter the way that your body uses estrogen. They’re also inflammatory and can raise your levels of the stress hormone, cortisol. Refined carbs such as white flours are a big culprit for hormone imbalances, partly due to their inflammatory nature. Eating more low GI foods helps to balance hormones.

Step 2: Eat carbs and healthy fats too

Alongside protein, you’ll also want to include some carbs and healthy fats. These three macronutrients are super important for balancing your hormones. Ideally, try to include protein, carbs, and healthy fats every mealtime. For fats, choose olive oil over vegetable oils, for example. Vegetables oils and margarine are full of inflammatory omega 6 fatty acids. Don’t forget to pack your plate with veggies too!

How to Manage your Hormones with Your Diet

Hormonal imbalances can have a major impact on your health. A lot of things can alter the delicate balance of your hormones and diet is definitely one of the factors that can do this. Unexplained weight gain, tiredness, bad skin, sleep problems and PMS can all be subtle signs that your hormones aren’t as balanced as they could be. Looking at your diet can be one of the simplest ways to start to balance your hormones and improve hormone health.

Step 1: Pack in the protein

Protein is a really underrated way to balance your hormones, especially insulin and estrogen. Lean meats, fish, eggs and soybeans are all great examples of ways to up your protein intake. Fatty fish such as salmon and mackerel are super smart protein choices as they contain anti-inflammatory omega 3 fatty acids.

Red meats and processed meats are more of a grey area as they can increase inflammation, and this can raise the risk of hormone imbalances that are linked to inflammation.

Follow our upcoming post on how to manage your hormones. See you on Friday 🙂.

6 Signs Your Hormones Might Be Unbalanced - Sign #6

Would you have any idea how to tell if your hormone levels are out of balance? Many women unknowingly experience various signs and symptoms of hormone imbalance, but connecting the dots back to a certain trigger can be more challenging.

Certain hormones – namely estrogen, testosterone, cortisol, and thyroid hormones – can wreak havoc on your body and lead to detrimental effects on your wellbeing. Although hormone tests are the only way to know for sure if your hormones are out of whack, the following may be an indication something is not just right.

Sign #6: You have PMS.

Premenstrual syndrome is used to describe the variety of symptoms that women experience at a certain point in their menstrual cycle, usually right before menstruation. The exact cause of PMS is unknown, but estrogen levels are very low during this time. Low levels of estrogen and progesterone which in turn affects the amount of serotonin released in the brain.

Many women gravitate towards high fat, high carbohydrate foods that have little nutritional value during their period to cope. These foods can actually make symptoms worse; replacing some of your snacks or meals with whole grains, beans/nuts, and fatty fish may help balance estrogen levels.

We hope this series has helped you.

6 Signs Your Hormones Might Be Unbalanced - Sign #5

Would you have any idea how to tell if your hormone levels are out of balance? Many women unknowingly experience various signs and symptoms of hormone imbalance, but connecting the dots back to a certain trigger can be more challenging.

Certain hormones – namely estrogen, testosterone, cortisol, and thyroid hormones – can wreak havoc on your body and lead to detrimental effects on your wellbeing. Although hormone tests are the only way to know for sure if your hormones are out of whack, the following may be an indication something is not just right.

Sign #5: You’re struggling with anxiety.

Excessive feelings of stress and anxiety do not always indicate a mental health condition. Stress can raise cortisol levels inappropriately (as part of our body’s natural fight or flight response) leading to similar symptoms as above as well as chronic anxiety and depression. Although managing stress can seem like a daunting task, there are many strategies available to help you do so.

Estrogen can trigger anxiety when levels are less than ideal. It’s rather stereotypical, but true, to relate anxiety and depression as afflictions that primarily affect women. There is yet to be an explanation for the gender difference; however, research has elucidated that estrogen fluctuations during a woman’s menstrual cycle are highly linked to intense emotional experiences. When estrogen levels are lowest on day one of menstruation, women tend to be most vulnerable to anxiety and depression. On the flip side, there appears to be a protective benefit when estrogen levels are highest during ovulation.

6 Signs Your Hormones Might Be Unbalanced - Sign #4

Would you have any idea how to tell if your hormone levels are out of balance? Many women unknowingly experience various signs and symptoms of hormone imbalance, but connecting the dots back to a certain trigger can be more challenging.

Certain hormones – namely estrogen, testosterone, cortisol, and thyroid hormones – can wreak havoc on your body and lead to detrimental effects on your wellbeing. Although hormone tests are the only way to know for sure if your hormones are out of whack, the following may be an indication something is not just right.

Sign #4: You can’t kick your cravings.

Chronic stress and high cortisol levels can cause sugar and fatty food cravings, while other adrenal imbalances can lead to cravings for salty snacks. Keeping a food and mood diary can help you to pinpoint whether your cravings are really linked to mood or if you crave certain foods with no obvious link to emotional eating.

Eating a lot of sugar can spike your blood sugar and insulin levels, and this can astronomically increase your estrogen and progesterone. Conversely, sugar decreases testosterone levels. If you have noticed decreased s*x drive, increased body fat, decreased muscle mass, and brain fog, your diet may be a direct contributor.

6 Signs Your Hormones Might Be Unbalanced - Sign #3

Would you have any idea how to tell if your hormone levels are out of balance? Many women unknowingly experience various signs and symptoms of hormone imbalance, but connecting the dots back to a certain trigger can be more challenging.

Certain hormones – namely estrogen, testosterone, cortisol, and thyroid hormones – can wreak havoc on your body and lead to detrimental effects on your wellbeing. Although hormone tests are the only way to know for sure if your hormones are out of whack, the following may be an indication something is not just right.

Sign #3: You’ve noticed changes to your skin and/or hair.

Do you have dry skin? Or maybe you’ve noticed that your hair is getting thinner or falling out more? Thyroid hormones are so important to global health because they serve as directors of “downstream” mechanisms. In this case, thyroid hormones control eccrine gland activity (a type of sweat gland found in most areas of the skin). If thyroid hormone levels are low, these glands will not get appropriate signaling to function properly.
