đż Hormones: More Than Just a Patch or a Pill đż
Struggling with fatigue, mood swings, weight gain, or sleep issues? Itâs easy to jump straight to Bioidentical Hormone Replacement Therapy (BHRT) â and while it can be helpful, it often skips over a critical question: why are your hormones imbalanced in the first place?
Your hormonal health is shaped by a complex interplay of:
đĽ Diet â Blood sugar crashes, inflammatory foods, and nutrient deficiencies all impact hormonal pathways.
đŚ Gut Health â Microbiota influence stress responsivity and circadian rhythmicity of the HPA axis as well as gut bugs can âre-releaseâ estrogen back into your body, and that extra estrogen can affect period and menopause symptoms.
đ§ HPA Axis Function â When youâre stressed, your brain tells your adrenal glands to release cortisol, and that stress hormone can lower thyroid and s*x hormones, mess with blood sugar, and throw off your sleep hormone (melatonin).
â ď¸ Environmental Toxins â Everyday exposures (yes, even your skincare) can act as endocrine disruptors.
đĄ Simply replacing hormones may not address the deeper imbalances. Although, when you get older your body may not make enough hormones, therefore leading to the need for BHRT, but also the need to make lifestyle changes to help your body holistically.
At Healthy Brain & Body, we take a whole-person approach â using advanced tools like nutrient testing, gut and hormone testing, and nervous system support to find the root cause of hormonal dysfunction.
⨠You deserve to feel balanced, vibrant, and clear-headed â naturally.
