Did you know that it’s possible to balance your hormones naturally?
Let me share how.
Your hormones are not functioning on their own. Your sex hormones, adrenal hormones, thyroid hormones, pancreatic hormones and pituitary hormones all communicate directly with your hypothalamus.
Your hypothalamus is the master controller of all your hormones. When there’s miscommunication between the hypothalamus and the endocrine glands then your hormones become imbalanced.
When your hypothalamus functions optimally:
Your metabolism is humming.
You have a healthy amount of lean body mass and body fat.
Your periods are regular.
You’re fertile.
Your libido is good.
You handle stress well.
You sleep well.
Your moods are good.
Your brain functions well.
Your immune system protects you.
All your hormones are in balance.
Here’s my ultimate guide to balancing hormones naturally:
To balance your hormones naturally is to optimize hypothalamus function.
Fortunately, your hypothalamus is super sensitive to nutrients. The blood-brain barrier doesn’t protect your hypothalamus so it receives everything you’re eating, all the toxins and and all the pathogens you’re exposed to – everything.
The number one way to optimize your hypothalamic functioning is to support your hypothalamus nutraceutically.
Your hypothalamus needs the perfect amount of amino acids, polyunsaturated fatty acids, especially Omega three to nine, and phytonutrients including polyphenols, antioxidants, and vitamin and mineral cofactors.
Now, it’s not always easy to get everything you need from your diet alone and in the right proportion, which is why I created Genesis Gold®. Genesis Gold® provides your hypothalamus with the perfect balance of essential and conditionally essential amino acids, plant-derived PUFAs, and a wide variety of plant-based micronutrients
The second way to balance your hormones naturally is to get enough sleep.
Your hormones function on a circadian rhythm, produced at different levels during the day and night. If you’re not getting adequate sleep in the dark, your hormones are going to be out of balance. You need at least seven to nine hours of sleep at night in the dark with the temperature between 60 and 67 degrees.
Be sure to turn off those digital screens that emit blue light which will suppress nocturnal hypothalamic function.
The third way to balance your hormones naturally is to nourish your body.
If you’re eating a highly inflammatory diet with too much fat, too much sugar, and lots of processed foods, your hypothalamus will be inflamed and that will affect your hormonal balance. So trade saturated and trans fats for polyunsaturated fats especially omega 3s like fish and flax and omega 9s like olive oil and avocados.
A plant-based diet with a wide variety of colorful fruits and vegetables provides more micronutrients to your hypothalamus. Then make sure you’re getting an adequate amount of protein for your lean body mass – at least a half a gram per pound of lean body mass.
And drink lots of water.
Last, but not least, you’ve got to move your body.
An active lifestyle with adequate exercise helps your hypothalamus reduce inflammation, which is super important because hypothalamic inflammation causes dysfunction and will cause your hormones to be out of balance. So get aerobic exercise a few times a week and weight resistance exercise at least a couple times a week
