Our bodies are so complex and hormones affect so m

Our bodies are so complex and hormones affect so many different functions, having a huge impact on our overall sense of wellbeing. Hormonal imbalance can occur at any age and can show up as anxiety and depression, lack of concentration, PMS, period problems, skin issues, lack of libido, infertility, hot flashes, insomnia etc.

Balancing hormones naturally needs a multi-pronged, holistic approach with the understanding that each person is bio-individual and has specific needs. It is so important to consider the person’s lifestyle, age, diet, health history, and physical and emotional stress load. Several organs need to be functioning well in order for the cascade of hormone events to occur including optimization of gut health, liver health, blood sugar, and adrenal health.

Very often, dietary changes with gut support and detoxification make a huge difference. If someone requires deeper hormonal support, testing and targeted supplementation may be needed. Adrenal testing (cortisol/DHEA) and sex hormone testing (estrogen/progesterone/DHEA/testosterone/FSH/LH) are important for assessing the health of a woman’s hormones.

Cholesterol and good quality fats that are high in

Cholesterol and good quality fats that are high in essential fatty acids are so important for proper hormone production. Eating the wrong kinds of fats (fried foods, canola, vegetable oils) and too much sugar can negatively impact a woman’s hormone levels.

Some of the most hormone supportive foods that are high in good quality fats are fish, eggs, butter, poultry, and flaxseed.

One way to ensure you are getting enough of these healthy fats at the right time of month when your body most needs them is to try seed cycling.

Seed cycling is an ancient art that involves rotating certain seeds at specific times throughout the cycle. The nutrients and oils from the seeds help support hormone production and regulation. The four seeds used are pumpkin, flax, sunflower, and sesame.

Seed cycling is a great, natural way for any woman looking to support her hormones with food.

To Start Seed Cycling:
If your cycle is close to regular, start seed cycling on day 1 of your cycle (first day of menstruation).
If your cycle is irregular and unpredictable, start seed cycling on the new moon.

Days 1-14:
Grind and consume 1 tbsp raw flax seeds + 1 tbsp raw pumpkin seeds daily.
Extra support: Fish oil

Days 15-28:
Grind and consume 1 tbsp raw sunflower seeds + 1 tbsp raw sesame seeds daily.
Extra support: Evening Primrose oil

Instructions:
Add seeds according to your cycle. Eat them by the tablespoon or grind and add to smoothies, yogurt, cereal, soups, salads.

Because raw seeds contain fragile essential fatty acids, they should be ground fresh and stored in the freezer. They should never be roasted or used for cooking, but sprinkled on food after they’ve been cooked.

Did you know that eating good quality fat is the best thing you can do to keep your hormones happy & healthy? Fats and cholesterol are actually necessary for building healthy sex hormones (and a healthy brain). Good fats are full of fat soluble vitamins A,D,E,K, which are necessary for fertility and hormonal balance. If you are trying to conceive or even dealing with menopausal symptoms, be sure to eat plenty of good quality fats. But... the key is to eat the right kinds of fats.
+
Good quality fats include extra virgin olive oil, grass fed butter, organic lard (Did I just say that?! Yes!), ghee, coconut oil, avocados, sardines. Eat a variety! Don't fear fat!
+
Fats to avoid: Vegetable oil, canola, soybean, cottonseed oil margarine. These fats are highly processed, highly inflammatory, and should never be ingested.
+
Check your ingredients. I was recently very disappointed to learn that the yummy french fries at @shakeshack are cooked in soybean oil. Also, did you know that @McDonalds used to actually cook their fries in lard (the more natural, healthy option) until 1990 when they switched to unhealthy, highly processed vegetable oil?

HEALTHY FAT DOES NOT MAKE YOU FAT. Healthy fats support liver health, hormone health, and brain health.
*Our liver also needs to be functioning well so that it can process it and not push it into our bloodstream and raise our cholesterol.

When someone is having symptoms of hormonal imbala

When someone is having symptoms of hormonal imbalance, the first place I look is the digestive system (including the liver). This is where much of the hormones are produced, converted, and processed. There are so many things that can cause the endocrine system to go out of balance and I find that stress, poor quality foods, and the toxins we are exposed to are often the primary culprits to issues like leaky gut and liver congestion which often leads to hormonal issues.

Changing the diet, avoiding inflammatory foods, healing the gut, detoxifying the liver, and managing stress can do so much for getting to the root cause of hormone imbalance. This is is true for clients dealing with infertility, menopause, mood imbalances, anxiety, acne/skin issues etc.
