Not only are the levels of hormones vital, but also their proportion in respect of the other hormones in your body. Essential hormones include oestrogen, testosterone, progesterone, cortisol, insulin, and thyroid.

Even when you have a slight imbalance between hormones, it can cause a cascade of hormonal changes. These imbalances can lead to inflammation, cell dysfunction, and tissue damage, all contributing to autoimmune conditions. 

Many diet and lifestyle factors contribute to hormonal imbalances, such as nutrient deficiencies, excess sugar and living with chronic stress.

Highlights from today's episode include:

• The role of omega-3 essential fatty acids in hormone balance. 
• Toxicity and endocrine disruptors and their effects on hormones. 
• How orange-coloured foods can support your hormones. 
• Why restoration and stress management are key for healthy hormones. 
• How exercise stabilises insulin and cortisol.
