  • Female Hormone Harmony

    Today, we’ll talk about how to keep your female hormones in harmony.

    There are a number of things you can do:

    • Eating a healthy diet. A healthy diet is important for overall health and well-being, and it’s especially important for keeping your hormones in balance. Make sure to eat plenty of fruits, vegetables, and whole grains. These foods are rich in nutrients that support hormone health.
  • Getting regular exercise. Exercise is another important way to keep your hormones in balance. Exercise helps to regulate the production of hormones, and it can also help to reduce stress levels. Aim for at least 30 minutes of moderate-intensity exercise most days of the week.
  • Managing stress. Stress can have a negative impact on hormone levels. If you’re feeling stressed, try to find ways to relax and de-stress. Exercise, yoga, and meditation are all great ways to manage stress.
  • Getting enough sleep. Sleep is essential for hormone production and regulation. Aim for 7-8 hours of sleep each night.
  • Avoiding toxins. Toxins, such as those found in cigarette smoke, alcohol, and processed foods, can disrupt hormone balance. If you want to keep your hormones in balance, it’s important to avoid these toxins.
  • Here are some of the most common symptoms of hormone imbalance:

    • Irregular periods
  • Heavy or light periods
  • Painful periods
  • Hot flashes
  • Night sweats
  • Vaginal dryness
  • Fatigue
  • Mood swings
  • Anxiety
  • Depression
  • Weight gain or loss
  • Hair loss
  • Skin problems
  • Sleep problems
  • Sexual problems
  • If you are experiencing any of these symptoms, talk to your doctor. They can help you to identify the cause of your symptoms and recommend treatment options.

    Here are some of the most common causes of hormone levels to be in dissonance:

    • Age: Hormone levels naturally decline as we age.
  • Stress: Stress can disrupt hormone production and regulation.
  • Diet: A diet that is high in processed foods, sugar, and unhealthy fats can contribute to hormone imbalance.
  • Lack of exercise: Exercise helps to regulate hormone production.
  • Medical conditions: Certain medical conditions, such as thyroid problems, can cause hormone imbalance.
  • Medications: Some medications, such as birth control pills, can disrupt hormone balance.
  • If you are concerned about your hormone levels, talk to your doctor. They can order blood tests to measure your hormone levels and help you to determine the cause of your symptoms. Remember that hormone testing is a one time thing but female bodies are in constant flux with hormone levels in your body.

  • PMDD Real Talk – 6 Q’s I Have Been Asked Recently

    Watch here or you can listen at the bottom of this post.

    This is a podcast area I want to add into my normal podcasting. It is all unscripted real talk about PMDs so it is messy and real. Anything is on the table and stories shared here might be funny or serious, silly or relatable. They might be all the above. Hopefully something will inspire you to dive into your health and be more mindful or prompt you to share with a friend. Either way, I am here for you to share all the things.

    These are six questions that I have been asked recently about PMDD. I was surprised by some that I hadn’t been asked or hear before but all were great questions. If you have a question, drop it below in the comments and I’d love to address them next round.

    1) Do you feel insecure or have internalized shame during PMDD?

    2) Have you thought you had BPD/bipolar/personality disorder?

    3) Do you have a day in your cycle where you fluctuate tears, happy, content, rage, tears?

    4) Does the smallest issue feel world crushing during PMDD?

    5) Are you neurodivergent?

    6) Do you ever feel paranoid that everyone hates you or people are mad at you?

    Thank you for listening. Please rate and review the podcast and share with friends and family who could benefit from this education.

    ***Note: these thoughts are in no way to replace your physician. If you have questions, please consult your doctor and professionals for direction before you make any changes in your health. I am not a doctor, just a coach. Also, these podcast may contain information that is sensitive in nature and might be triggering. Please listen with caution. Thank you.***

  • Female Hormones

    Watch here or listen in your web browser with the player at the bottom.

    In this episode, we’ll talk about what female hormones are, what they do, and how they affect our health. We’ll also discuss some of the things that can affect our hormone levels and what we can do to keep them in harmony – not balance.

    So what are female hormones? Female hormones are a group of hormones that are responsible for the development and maintenance of female sex characteristics. They also play a role in a variety of other bodily functions, including reproduction, mood, and metabolism.

    The three main female hormones are estrogen, progesterone, and testosterone. Estrogen is responsible for the development of female secondary sexual characteristics, such as breasts, hips, and hair growth. It also plays a role in the menstrual cycle, pregnancy, and menopause. Progesterone is a hormone that prepares the body for pregnancy. It helps to thicken the lining of the uterus and to make the body more receptive to an embryo. Progesterone also plays a role in maintaining pregnancy. Testosterone is a hormone that is found in both men and women. In women, testosterone plays a role in sexual desire, muscle mass, and bone density.

    Hormones are produced by glands in the body and travel through the bloodstream to reach their target tissues. Once they reach their target tissues, hormones bind to receptors on cells and trigger a response. The response can vary depending on the hormone and the tissue.

    Hormones play a vital role in many aspects of health, including:

    • Growth and development
  • Sexual function
  • Metabolism
  • Mood
  • Sleep
  • Appetite
  • Hormone levels can be affected by a number of factors, including:

    • Age
  • Stress
  • Diet
  • Exercise
  • Medications
  • Medical conditions
  • If you are experiencing any problems with your hormones, talk to your doctor. They can help you to identify the cause of your problems and recommend treatment options.

    In our next episode, we’ll talk about how to keep your female hormones in balance.
