Hormone balance is personal and complex. itâs never just a checklist of things to follow, your body needs an approach that actually fits you.
But if youâre looking for a place to start today, here are a few tiny habits that can make a real difference:
â¨add in fermented foods like kefir, sauerkraut, or kimchi - I love having a spoonful of sauerkraut next to my eggs and toast or a kefir bowl with chocolate and berries for dessert
â¨eat protein and fiber within an hour of waking - if you arenât hungry for a full breakfast try starting with something small
â¨get 10 minutes of sunlight in the morning- if you canât get outside within the first hour (kids and life) try having your coffee by an open window
â¨swap plastic where you can- plastics can leak chemicals that impact with estrogen and progesterone (think glass tupperware, stainless steel bottles, etc)
â¨try some deep breathing before meals - it calms your nervous system so your body can actually digest and absorb hormone essential nutrients. I love doing three rounds of the 4-7-8 breath
â¨limit blue light in the evening - turn your TV settings to block blue light, or try using red light bulbs after sunset
â¨add magnesium-rich foods - greens to your meals, dark chocolate as a dessert, and pumpkin seeds as a snack. Consider a glycinate supplement before bed
â¨block out one evening a week with no screens or social plans - yes you deserve some relaxation and fun! Instead of drinks with your friends suggest a coffee and walk together
â¨listen to your body during each phase in your cycle - for example during your luteal phase trade HIIT for walks, yoga, or low impact strength training
Hopefully these are some easy tips you can implement into your week đ¤
