#330: The Three Most Common (Root) Causes of Hormone Imbalance


Listen Later

Hormones are the conversation everywhere right now. Honestly, it's easy to fall into the trap of believing you probably have a hormonal problem just because it sounds like everyone does. But the common causes of hormone imbalance are not what you think.

Just the other day, I was on Instagram, and ten posts in a row made me think my hormones were out of whack. How must someone who doesn't study nutrition feel if I'm overwhelmed by the fear-inducing information?

When it comes to hormones, there are many thoughts, ideas, and modes of healing. But I want to show you that most hormonal issues are actually a deeper issue that stems from your nervous system response.

Hormonal problems are very real and need attention. It's good to get them measured once in a while. But I think we need to look harder at how we heal them because it rarely has to do with our hormones.

On this podcast, I've continually made clear that hormones are messenger molecules. They don't write the message your actions take but only ship it. This proves that the problem is rarely with your hormones, but what message is your body sending that requires a different flow of hormones, and why?

In this podcast, you will learn how your hormones function and the control that powers them. I also share the three most common root causes of hormone imbalance—you might be surprised to hear what they are.
