This non-negotiable morning habit is crucial for hormone balance! Exposure to natural sunlight first thing in the morning signals to your brain that the day has started.

This action helps to properly set your circadian rhythm, the internal clock that dictates when you produce cortisol (your wake-up hormone) and when you produce melatonin (your sleep hormone).

When this rhythm is disrupted, it causes problems with energy during the day and difficulty sleeping at night, which creates a cascade of hormonal imbalance.

Try stepping outside for 10-15 minutes immediately after waking (without sunglasses!) before you look at your phone.

Are you struggling with low energy, stubborn weight, or hair loss? 🤔

Iodine deficiency might be sabotaging your efforts! This trace mineral is essential for thyroid health, and when levels drop, the symptoms are widespread.

This carousel outlines 5 key signs that your thyroid might be crying out for iodine 👉

If these sound familiar, please speak to your doctor about getting a thyroid panel and iodine levels tested.

Your skin is a map of your internal health 🗺️ Stop treating just the surface!

If you’re struggling with hormonal imbalances, reducing your exposure to Endocrine Disruptors is a powerful, low-cost action you can take immediately.

Watch out for these common culprits:

👉 Phthalates & Parabens: Often found in highly scented products, perfumes, body washes, and makeup. They can mimic oestrogen.

👉 BPA/BPS: Common in plastic food containers, plastic wraps, and the lining of many food cans. Heat makes them leach into food rapidly.

👉 PFAS (‘Forever Chemicals’): Found in non-stick cookware (Teflon) and stain-resistant materials. They interfere with thyroid function.

When dealing with hormonal issues like PCOS or perimenopause, pushing yourself to the limit with intense exercise can sometimes be counterproductive 🤔.

High-intensity exercise can spike cortisol, adding more stress to an already burdened system. Instead, embrace gentle movement.

Practices like yoga and mindful walking help regulate your nervous system, support circulation, and promote lymphatic drainage, which is ideal for reducing inflammation and achieving hormonal balance.

Let’s talk about the master mineral for your metabolism: Iodine! 💫

This trace mineral is the literal building block for your thyroid hormones. If you’re struggling with persistent fatigue, weight issues, or have a history of hormonal challenges, iodine deficiency may be a factor.

If you suspect a thyroid issue, always consult your doctor for testing.

Feeling anxious or irritable? When Progesterone levels drop (especially pre-period), anxiety can surge. Supporting progesterone is key to a calmer mind and easier luteal phase🌙

This might sound odd, but constantly consuming ice-cold water forces your body to expend energy to warm it up, putting a slight, unnecessary stress on your system.

For women dealing with hormonal imbalances and low thyroid function (which regulates metabolism), adding cold items can slow down digestion even further.

By drinking water that is room temperature or warm, you support your digestive fire, aid lymphatic drainage, and conserve energy, allowing your body to focus on crucial hormonal regulation instead.
