Five Tips to Help Balance Your Hormones

As mamas, our hormones can be a rollercoaster 🎢 as we go through the changes of pregnancy and postpartum.

Here are 5️⃣ tips to help level things out!

💚 Eat a hefty dose of steamed cruciferous vegetables everyday. Cruciferous veggies like cauliflower, broccoli, bok choy, and Brussels sprouts help us detoxify estrogens and balance us out.

🌾 Add an intentional fiber into your diet. I like to have one serving of psyllium husk a day, but there are many ways to add more fiber in like chia seeds, oat bran, or apple pectin.

🍽️ Eat balanced meals! This means making sure you’re having a healthy fat, protein, and carbohydrate with every meal. Eating this way helps keep your blood sugar stable and promotes satiety. Make sure to limit any added sugars, processed foods, and refined oils.

☕ Cut out or reduce caffeine. I know this one is tough, but caffeine can negatively impact our adrenals which then can have a cascade on all of our other hormones. Limit yourself to one cup of coffee a day after you eat breakfast.

😴 Get good sleep. Every hour of sleep you get before midnight counts double because cortisol, our stress hormone, is regulated at midnight. Getting enough sleep keeps stress hormones balanced and allows the body to fully rest and recover.

🌸 Hormones play a huge role in our overall health and it’s important to make sure that we are in balance. Reach out to your provider if you feel you could use extra support in this area. 💪

I am now taking my hormones seriously at the age of 29, I was plucking hairs on my chest at 17 and never realized it was an issue. Thank God for YouTube educational videos 🫶🏽

So true my caffeine replacement has been unsulphured blsckstrap molasses (1tablespoon ) in a mug of hot water with a splash of milk. Really is a lovely replacement .

Why is that so true? That sleep before midnight is better? I noticed that too several years back.

Can you tell me more or link information on what you said about sleep counting as double before 12am?? I’m so intrigued

[ladyofspa]

I do all these except sleeping cuz I have 9 months baby. And still hormones are crazy

[valentinalevis]

No good night sleep for me... I guess its the stress hormones, but what came first😂

[Bestrong]

You said to steam the veggies. What if we make juice out of cruciferous veggies without steaming, is that equally capable of removing extra estrogen from body??

[shellbellhealing]

I've developed a fear of pesticides ad struggling to find quality organic 😢
