6 root causes of hormone imbalances you NEED to be

6 root causes of hormone imbalances you NEED to be aware of ⬇️⬇️⁠
⁠
For almost EVERY woman I work with age 25 to 55, we can find the root causes of their hormone imbalances in these six areas:⁠
⁠
1️⃣ Blood sugar dysregulation (sugar cravings, energy swings, weight gain)⁠
2️⃣ Adrenal hormone disruption (wired and tired at night, dragging in the day, over-stressed)⁠
3️⃣ Nutrient deficiencies (like iodine and vitamin A)⁠
4️⃣ Detox struggles (headaches, PMS, painful periods, acne)⁠
5️⃣ Hidden inflammation (allergies, puffiness, aches and pains)⁠
6️⃣ Gut disharmony (Candida, bloating, constipation)⁠
⁠
If you think you have hormone imbalances, these are the areas to dig into!⁠
DO NOT be overwhelmed, I got your back on these. They are all easy to assess and fix, and get you feeling your absolute best pronto!⁠

Here are some signs of hormone imbalance symptoms

Here are some signs of hormone imbalance symptoms that you don't have to accept as normal!⁠
⁠
⬇️⬇️⁠
⁠
💫 Lying awake at night and then dragging through the day⁠
💫 Craving caffeine and sugar to get through each day⁠
💫 Big uncontrollable stress and anxiety ⁠
💫 Not knowing when you'll get another period because they are so infrequent⁠
💫 Not getting pregnant for no detectable reason⁠
💫 Mysterious weight gain⁠
💫 Painful or heavy periods⁠
💫 PMS with bloating and rage⁠
💫 Heavy hot flashes and sweats⁠
⁠
Ladies if you are feeling any of these symptoms and think they are not "normal" then you are right on! ⁠
⁠
The good news is that we can fix it ✅⁠

"Can you check my hormones? I suspect something is

"Can you check my hormones? I suspect something isn't right and I want to find out."⁠
⁠
This is a question I hear from women ALL THE TIME. Does this strike a chord? Have you wondered what's going on with your hormones? Have you even asked your doctor for help but not gotten any (except for the offer of hormonal birth control or anti-depressents)?⁠
⁠
If, so you are SO not alone! You know your body the best, and if you have a hunch that you do not feel your best because of your hormones, you may be right!⁠
⁠
This is the test I like to use for all women ⬇️⁠
⁠
⭐️ The Dutch Complete Hormone Test ⭐️⁠
⁠
DUTCH = dried urine test for comprehensive hormones.⁠
⁠
With easy urines strips, the Dutch test measures all your sex hormones and your adrenals. It also tests how you metabolize estrogen which is so important in order to reduce risks of estrogen dominance and estrogen-driven cancers!⁠
⁠
AND⁠
⁠
The Dutch test gives information about how you detox, and your levels of neurotransmitters and important B vitamins > all of which are key players in hormone balance. It's a ton of information!⁠
⁠
I use this for women with PMS, irregular cycles, unexplained infertility, perimenopause, fibroids, endometriosis, fatigue, insomnia, and more!⁠
⁠
Once we get your results we can create a treatment plan that exactly fits what your body needs. You do not have to wonder what's happening with your hormones (or go on a drug to manage the symptoms) - you can apply the smart functional medicine "test don't guess" approach.⁠
⁠
⬆️⬆️ This test has transformed the lives of women I work with. ❤️⁠
⁠
I'm here to help you take charge of your hormones instead of letting them take charge of you. Take my FREE hormone balance assessment as a first step. 🙌⁠

This makes me so happy! 🤗
.
My family has been nurturing and cultivating our home, land, and health these days. Improving our physical environment and foundations so we can best meet the present challenges in the world. 💪🏽
.
Things we’ve done since the shelter in place:
🦚Planted a garden which we are now eating from.
🌿Planted lots of native and drought resistant plants - including succulents and sages.
🌊 Taking frequent walks and talks on the beach.
🏡 Painting, cleaning, polishing and restoring many areas of our house.
🏘 Plotting an addition so we can provide additional housing for another person or a couple - which makes so much sense in these days and this geographical area.
🐶 Loving up our dog, and making plans to adopt another in the next month.
🌽 Cooking organic Paleo-inspired meals.
🥦 This week embarking on a 10-day detox - which is so good to do every so often.

Are your clothes feeling a bit tight these days, in a way that does not feel good?⁠
⁠
You may be one of the women I work with frequently: You eat well, have a positive relationship with food, have realistic goals, are getting enough exercise but still, your weight just ISN’T budging ❌⁠
⁠
This is known as weight loss resistance (WLR). Solving WLR is doable, but it takes some detective work. I love doing this for myself and other women. Here are 8 things I do personally to overcome WLR:⁠
⁠
1️⃣ I do my Functional Whole30 Reset three times a year - see my bio for more on this approach⁠
⁠
2️⃣ Step on the scale most days (controversial but research shows those who do it are more likely to lose weight and KEEP IT OFF)⁠
⁠
3️⃣ Intermittent fasting (no food or calories for 14-16 hours overnight)⁠
⁠
4️⃣ I don’t eat while standing or driving. Essentially being mindful by plating my meals and snacks, and sitting down to be present and enjoy.⁠
⁠
5️⃣ Exercise most days, only doing things that I enjoy and make me feel good.⁠
⁠
6️⃣ Move my body throughout the day at every chance I get.⁠
⁠
7️⃣ Eat 3 times a day during 8-10 hour window applying carb-aware eating. See my bio for carb aware eating ⁠
⁠
8️⃣ Take supplements for insulin resistance and my types of inflammation.⁠
⁠

Ready to STOP allowing lockdown to affect your sel

Ready to STOP allowing lockdown to affect your self-care and weight? 🛑⁠
⁠
This is something that we can fix TODAY ⬇️⬇️⁠
⁠
🔸 REFOCUS. You can, and will, have lots of thoughts and feelings about what’s happening in the world, and still take good care of your body.⁠
🔸 RESET. A focused food reset can reshape habits that you’re tired of and that aren’t working for you anyway.⁠
🔸 GET SUPPORT. Research shows that food habits are difficult to change all by yourself. Get help. Include your family.⁠
🔸 LOVE YOUR BODY. Don’t wait to love your self - do it now. Treat yourself kindly and with compassion. Look in the mirror and love your beautiful body that has always been there for you.⁠
🔸 REMEMBER. Write and reflect on the self-care habits you want to develop that align with the woman you want to be. Revisit this to remember that you ARE this woman.⁠
⁠
The time is NOW. Are you ready to send any lockdown weight packing with these self-loving steps?⁠
