Hormone Balance: A Realistic Guide for Women
Balanced hormones do not mean flat hormones. A healthy cycle is meant to rise and fall. Hormone balance is really about supporting that rhythm so estrogen, progesterone, testosterone, and cortisol move the way they should, without the extremes that cause symptoms.
Stress, blood sugar swings, poor sleep, and undereating are the usual culprits behind imbalance, which is good news, because those are all things you can influence.
The guides below cover the signs of estrogen dominance and low progesterone, how cortisol disrupts your cycle, and realistic ways to support your hormones with food and lifestyle.
