Are you on BHRT or have you considered this for your own health?

Hormone Replacement Therapy (HRT) is a powerful tool for restoring balance and vitality, but it’s most effective when paired with healthy lifestyle choices. Here’s how to enhance your results and feel your best!

🔹 1. Focus on Nutrition 🥗 Fuel your body with a balanced diet rich in fruits, vegetables, lean proteins, and healthy fats. Essential vitamins and minerals, such as Vitamin D, Calcium, and Magnesium, support bone health and hormone balance.

🔹 2. Get Moving 🏃‍♀️ Regular exercise—whether it’s strength training, cardio, or yoga—helps maintain muscle mass, boost metabolism, and improve mood. Aim for at least 30 minutes of physical activity a day.

🔹 3. Prioritize Sleep 💤 Adequate sleep is crucial for hormonal balance. Aim for 7-9 hours of quality sleep each night to support your body’s natural processes and help regulate hormones.

🔹 4. Manage Stress 🧘‍♀️ Chronic stress can throw off your hormones. Practice relaxation techniques like meditation, deep breathing, or mindfulness to keep cortisol levels in check.

🔹 5. Stay Hydrated 💧 Drinking plenty of water helps maintain optimal bodily functions, including hormone regulation. Aim for at least 8 cups a day.

🔹 6. Regular Check-Ups 🩺 Work with your healthcare provider to monitor your progress and adjust your HRT treatment. Personalized care ensures you’re on the right track!

✨ Ready to take control of your health? Combining HRT with lifestyle changes can maximize your results, helping you feel more energized, balanced, and vibrant!

With the elections and so much going on in 2020, it's hard to stay in the present moment. Stress and worry can be a result of thinking too far into the future which can cause physical stress in the body.
Do these 3 things to get present:
1) Do a physical check-in. Scan the body and relax each part of your body then breath deeply and slowly.
2) Ask yourself about your current circumstances - do I have health right now, lights on, food in the fridge, etc
3) Find gratitude in your life - family, friends, job, breath, spiritual life.
Please stay aware and present of our mental and physical connection.
