To truly understand the impact of the hormones on your health, it is essential to comprehend the various roles they play in the body. When in proper balance, hormones help the body thrive with good mood, energy, and vitality.

Here are just some of the main hormones that play a role in your overall health and well-being:

𝗘𝘀𝘁𝗿𝗼𝗴𝗲𝗻 is the primary female s*x hormone that controls puberty and the menstrual cycle. Drops in estrogen levels lead to many uncomfortable menopause symptoms.

𝗣𝗿𝗼𝗴𝗲𝘀𝘁𝗲𝗿𝗼𝗻𝗲 is a primary s*x hormone for women that helps regulate the menstrual cycle and pregnancy. Changes in progesterone levels can lead to heavy or irregular periods and worse PMS symptoms.

𝗧𝗲𝘀𝘁𝗼𝘀𝘁𝗲𝗿𝗼𝗻𝗲 is a primary s*x hormone for men and is found in small amounts in women. It plays a role in s*x drive, muscle mass, and bone density for both s*xes.

𝗖𝗼𝗿𝘁𝗶𝘀𝗼𝗹 is known as the “stress hormone” produced by the adrenal glands. Cortisol helps the body respond to and adapt to emotional and physical stressors, such as injury and infection. You can have a negative response if you have too much or too little of this hormone.

𝗧𝗵𝘆𝗿𝗼𝗶𝗱 𝗛𝗼𝗿𝗺𝗼𝗻𝗲𝘀 are comprised of three different hormones, including TSH, T4, and T3. These hormones work together and play a critical role in brain development and metabolism.

𝗜𝗻𝘀𝘂𝗹𝗶𝗻 is a hormone that helps cells in the body use sugar (glucose) to produce energy. The most common imbalance occurs in diabetes when the body no longer uses insulin effectively, leading to blood sugar imbalances, weight gain, and fatty liver.

𝗟𝗲𝗽𝘁𝗶𝗻 is a hormone released by fat cells that helps regulate our body weight and food intake. The most common issue occurs when the brain no longer responds to leptin, leading us to consume more calories than we burn.

𝗩𝗶𝘁𝗮𝗺𝗶𝗻 𝗗 is a hormone produced when your skin is exposed to sunlight. It plays a role in various parts of the body, including the immune system, cardiovascular system, bones, and mental health.

𝗠𝗲𝗹𝗮𝘁𝗼𝗻𝗶𝗻 is a hormone that increases after dark to help the body regulate its circadian rhythm and sleep.

𝗡𝗲𝘂𝗿𝗼𝘁𝗿𝗮𝗻𝘀𝗺𝗶𝘁𝘁𝗲𝗿𝘀 are hormones that function primarily in the brain to regulate mood, focus, and emotions. More recently, it has been discovered that some of these hormones, such as serotonin, also play a role in maintaining a healthy digestive system, often referred to as the “gut-brain connection".

High in fiber, protein, antioxidants, and omega-3 fatty acids, this chocolate chia pudding makes a great quick breakfast or satisfying snack. This no-cook recipe can be easily made dairy-free and sugar-free and tastes reminiscent of Mexican hot chocolate. Enjoy!

This recipe has been adapted from The New York Times.

CHOCOLATE CHIA PUDDING

1/4 c. cocoa powder or raw cacao powder
2 c. milk or your favorite milk alternative
1/4 c. maple syrup, date syrup, or your favorite sugar substitute
1 t. vanilla extract
1/2 t. ground cinnamon
1/4 t. ground cardamom (optional)
Pinch of nutmeg (optional)
Dash of salt (optional)
1/2 c. black or white chia seeds
--
Berries, nuts, granola, or coconut flakes for serving (optional)

Combine the cocoa powder, milk, sweetener, vanilla, cinnamon, cardamom, nutmeg, and salt in a medium-sized bowl. Whisk until smooth and well-blended. Add chia seeds and whisk again.

Place the bowl covered in the refrigerator for 30 minutes, then remove it to whisk the mixture to prevent the chia seeds from clumping. Refrigerate for another 30 minutes and whisk again. Cover and refrigerate overnight. Top with berries, nuts, or granola as desired.

Hormones are special chemical messengers that control most of our major bodily functions. Secreted by the endocrine glands, our hormones work together to regulate our health and well-being.

Although hormones circulate in relatively small amounts, they play a crucial role in complex systems, including metabolism, growth, fertility, and mood regulation.

Hormone imbalances can affect the body in a multitude of ways, including:
✔ Hot flashes
✔ Irregular or heavy periods
✔ Fertility issues
✔ PMS
✔ Weight gain or loss
✔ Change in appetite
✔ Fatigue
✔ Cognitive decline or memory loss
✔ Decrease in attention and focus
✔ Loss of muscle mass or weakness
✔ Decrease in libido
✔ Erectile dysfunction
✔ Depression and anxiety
✔ Insomnia
✔ Hair loss
✔ Blood sugar imbalance or hypoglycemia
✔ Feeling cold or cold intolerance

If you would like to determine if hormone imbalances may be contributing to your ongoing symptoms, schedule an appointment with your NaturoMedica physician. We often test various hormone levels to identify imbalances that may impact your health.

Acupuncture can be used to treat nearly any medical condition. But today, perhaps its most well-known use is for managing pain and musculoskeletal injuries without the need for medication.

Acupuncture can reduce pain and support tissue healing in multiple ways:
✔ signals your body to release pain-relieving chemicals called endorphins and enkephalins
✔ increases blood flow to the surrounding tissue to deliver nutrients, oxygen, hormones, and chemicals to enhance the healing process
✔ stimulates your body’s release of natural anti-inflammatory compounds that reduce pain and promote healing
✔ helps activate your body’s immune system to encourage healing

At NaturoMedica, acupuncture is highly customized. Dr. Dart is a licensed acupuncturist (LAc.) and holds a Doctor of Acupuncture and Oriental Medicine (DAOM). She is also a licensed Acupuncture and Eastern Medicine Practitioner (AEMP) and a double board-certified reproductive acupuncturist with the Acupuncture and TCM Board of Reproductive Medicine (ABORM).
