Hormone Foundations
5 months ago
- Foundations first: Core habits like sleep, stress management, nutrition, and gut health directly regulate your HPA and HPG axes — the systems that control cortisol, estrogen, progesterone, testosterone, and thyroid hormones.
- Food is hormone communication: Eating enough protein, healthy fats, fiber, and whole foods is essential for hormone production, detoxification, and metabolism — especially during perimenopause and menopause.
- Stress and gut health can disrupt hormones as much as aging: Chronic stress suppresses ovarian function and increases insulin resistance, while gut imbalances alter estrogen recycling, driving issues like estrogen dominance and inflammation.
