As an OBS-GYN, I see the frustrating effects of hormonal imbalances every day. 𝙏𝙝𝙚 𝙜𝙤𝙤𝙙 𝙣𝙚𝙬𝙨? You're not at the mercy of these fluctuations. By understanding your hormones and working with a qualified healthcare professional, you can regain control and create a symphony of optimal health. Think of your hormones as a highly coordinated band. Each hormone plays a specific role, influencing everything from your menstrual cycle and metabolism to sleep and mood. When this intricate dance gets disrupted, the entire performance suffers. 𝗛𝗼𝗿𝗺𝗼𝗻𝗮𝗹 𝗶𝗺𝗯𝗮𝗹𝗮𝗻𝗰𝗲𝘀 𝗰𝗮𝗻 𝗺𝗮𝗻𝗶𝗳𝗲𝘀𝘁 𝗶𝗻 𝘃𝗮𝗿𝗶𝗼𝘂𝘀 𝘄𝗮𝘆𝘀, 𝗶𝗻𝗰𝗹𝘂𝗱𝗶𝗻𝗴: 🏹Irregular periods or heavy bleeding 🏹Unexplained weight gain or difficulty losing weight 🏹Fatigue and low energy 🏹Difficulty sleeping or restless sleep 🏹Irritability, mood swings, or anxiety 🏹Vaginal dryness and decreased libido 🏹Skin issues like acne or breakouts While hormonal fluctuations are often associated with menopause, they can impact women throughout their lives. From puberty and the menstrual cycle to pregnancy and perimenopause, understanding your hormones is crucial for maintaining optimal health. Ignoring hormonal imbalances can lead to a domino effect of health complications, including: ❗Increased risk of heart disease and certain cancers ❗Bone loss and osteoporosis ❗Fertility issues ❗Depression and anxiety ❗Cognitive decline Fortunately, there's no need to navigate the complexities of hormones alone.

Have you heard of a Cortisol Steal? Did you know that our body's stress hormone, cortisol, can actually compete with our reproductive hormones? 😱 This phenomenon is known as the "Cortisol Steal," and it can have some surprising effects on our menstrual health. #CortisolSteal When we experience chronic stress, our cortisol levels can become elevated, which triggers our body to divert resources away from producing other important hormones like progesterone, testosterone, and estrogen. This diversion can lead to an imbalance in our hormones, causing a range of health issues. The Cortisol Steal may contribute to menstrual irregularities, fertility challenges, and even symptoms of menopause. It's essential for hormone health to find ways to manage and reduce stress in our daily lives. 😌 So, how can we combat the Cortisol Steal? 🛡️ Incorporating techniques like regular time outside, mindfulness practices, and sufficient sleep can help lower cortisol levels and restore hormonal harmony. Remember, self-care isn't just a buzzword – it's a key aspect of maintaining our hormonal health and overall vitality. Take time for yourself, prioritize relaxation, and seek support when needed. Let's establish that hormonal balance and reclaim control over our well-being! 🌟 #HormonalHarmony #SelfCareIsKey 👇 Drop a comment below to let us know if you've heard of the Cortisol Steal or if you have any questions about hormone health! 💬 Our community is here to support each other on this journey towards a balanced and vibrant life!

Fertility Coach & Nutritional Therapist 🌸 Helping You Achieve Your Dream Of Motherhood With Expert Nutrition And In-Depth Knowledge of Cycle Syncing That Will Boost Your Fertility 🌸
Ladies, are you dealing with period problems, PMS and other hormonal roller-coaster symptoms? This post is for you, my fellow hormonal warrior. I've been there - the painful cramps, mood swings, exhaustion, and fertility challenges. I struggled with many symptoms that I thought were a normal part of a woman's life, not understanding what was really going on hormonally. What I've learned is that symptoms like irregular cycles, fatigue, acne, and difficulty conceiving are actually red flags that our reproductive hormones are out of balance. And masking those symptoms with medicine doesn't address the underlying issues. My approach focuses on rebalancing hormones naturally through nutrition, lifestyle, and reconnecting with your body's cycles. Targeted dietary changes, consistent relaxation practices and cycle tracking can have profound impacts. I have first-hand experience of how this integrative approach can be transformational. Not only did my symptoms become far more manageable once I adopted this approach, but I also successfully conceived naturally. If I can find my hormone harmony, so can you. You don't have to keep struggling with hormonal issues on your own. I can provide the expert guidance and support you need. I'm now accepting a limited number of new private coaching clients, where we'll dive deep into optimising your diet, lifestyle, and cycle health for long-term hormonal balance. ➡️ How many symptoms in the list do you personally experience on a regular basis? Let me know in the comments ⬇️ P.S. Alternatively, if you live in the Liverpool area, check out my upcoming group coaching program - "Sweet Freedom: Embrace A Sugar-Free Lifestyle for Hormone Harmony" (link in bio). ---- Pauline Groussaud Fertility Coach I specialise in supporting women to navigate hormonal imbalances, such as PMS, endometriosis, PCOS and infertility. ---- #hormonalhealth #hormonebalance #healthcoach #liverpoolfertilitycoach #periodproblems #cycleawareness #fertilityjourney

Pharmacist & Certified Functional Medicine Practitioner | Helping perimenopausal & postmenopausal women feel energized, focused, & empowered to thrive & feel comfortable in their own body! | CEO of Phunctional Health
💡Did you know that progesterone can start declining as early as 10 years before estrogen does?! Typically in perimenopause is when women will start realizing something is off. Without enough progesterone, estrogen levels can go unchecked and you can experience symptoms of estrogen dominance. (See my post on estrogen dominance!) Progesterone not only has a calming effect on your body and mind, but it also supports memory, reduces growths like fibroids and cysts, improves PMS, helps you better handle stress, is essential for bone health, heart health, supports a healthy thyroid, improves sleep, can minimize migraines, joint pain and more. 🔹 Some symptoms of LOW progesterone are: -Insomnia or sleep disturbance -Low libido -Mood changes, anxiety and irritability -Breast tenderness -Headaches and migraines -Weight gain -Irregular menstrual cycle -Short cycles -Mid-cycle spotting 🔹 Some reasons you might have low progesterone are: -Stress -Hypothyroidism -PCOS -Age (35 and over) -Elevated prolactin -Estrogen dominance ⚠ Now let's be clear, progestin is NOT progesterone - it is a common synthetic hormone many women are taking and does not have all of the beneficial effects of bioidentical progesterone. (I have a whole post on that too!) 🎉 I specialize in helping women get to the root causes of their symptoms. If you’re resonating with these issues, I’m here to help!

Hormones play a pivotal role in our lives, yet our understanding of their profound impact barely scratches the surface. While many women are familiar with estrogen and progesterone, these are just the tip of the hormonal iceberg for women! A spectrum of crucial female hormones exist, each affecting our well-being differently. Some hormones increase as we age, while others naturally decline, leading to a diverse array of symptoms. A reduction in androgens (sex hormones) can impact bone density, muscle development, sexual desire, and changes to hair growth. An increase in luteinizing hormone and follicle-stimulating hormone brings a barrage of symptoms, including dry skin, weak or brittle bones, brain fog, and moodiness. A decline in estrogen and progesterone as we get older may cause symptoms such as hot and cold flashes, vaginal dryness, sleep disturbances, weak or brittle bones, and decreased muscle mass. Fluctuating hormones impact our physical and mental health. There are steps you can take: your health is in your hands. Attend regular physical checkups, track your menstrual cycle, and keep up to date with women’s health research. Explore our latest blog, ‘Female Hormones 101’, to understand your hormones and their changes during perimenopause. It is a tool to empower you with knowledge so you can better advocate for your health!

We know hormones impact the brain. Great excerpt from a post: "Estrogen: The Mood Modulator Estrogen is one of the primary hormones involved in a woman’s menstrual cycle. Males also make and need estrogen—although to a lesser degree. When estrogen levels are healthy and balanced, it helps optimize neurotransmitter production and brain function, but when levels are off, it can cause all sorts of problems. Estrogen dominance is a condition in which there is too much estrogen relative to the amount of progesterone. When this happens, the gentle monthly fluctuation of hormones turns into a series of intense spikes and dramatic drop-offs that disrupt important brain processes and make you moody, anxious, and irritable. In women, estrogen dominance often occurs during the transition into perimenopause, while in aging men, estrogen dominance can emerge as testosterone levels decline. Low estrogen levels can make you feel depressed and have trouble focusing and thinking. These problems can worsen during perimenopause when estrogen levels can fluctuate wildly and during menopause when the hormone drops and stays low. Brain SPECT images show that as estrogen levels go down, blood flow in the brain also decreases." I also wrote a whole series on how hormones impact the brain, specifically on neurotransmitter function. There's been a link between estrogen and serotonin and also how it impacts our other neurotransmitters through speeding up or slowing down their detoxification pathways. Progesterone and GABA have been linked as well. Still, there are many nuances.

"It takes more than hormones to FIX your hormones!" - Dr. Anna Cabeca Join me in a chapter by chapter conversation of the multiple things we do have control of and power over to live our best lives! NATIONAL BESTSELLER • THE HORMONE FIX • (now in paperback!) For women approaching or in menopause, a revolutionary diet and holistic lifestyle program for easier weight loss, better sleep, diminished hot flashes, a clearer head, and a rejuvenated sex drive. “Hormone balance is within reach, and this is the definitive guide for reaching that goal.”—David Perlmutter, MD, author of Grain Brain As women approach menopause, many start to experience the physical and emotional indignities of hormonal fluctuation: metabolic stall and weight gain, hot flashes and night sweats, insomnia, memory loss or brain fog, irritability, low libido, and painful sex. Too often, doctors tell us that these discomforts are to be expected and that we will have to wait them out during “the change”; some of us even agree to be unnecessarily medicated. But Dr. Anna Cabeca’s research and experience with thousands of her patients show that there is a fast-acting and nonpharmaceutical way to dramatically and permanently alleviate these symptoms. Join live Wednesdays 2pm PT/ 4pm CT/5pm ET weekly in September.

Happy Healthy TUESDAY 21.5.2024: Hormones, Menopause & Aging The work of hormones is fascinating. This week, I am researching the bolts and nuggets of the ‘female hormonal cycle’ for a workshop that I will host on the topic ‘menopause’. As we age, the efficiency and output of our organs and cellular processes decline. Hormone levels drop as well. Many women but also men witness experiencing not-so-pleasant symptoms in their bodies and minds as their levels of different hormones decline. Fatigue, poor sleep, weight gain, hot flashes, extreme sweating, heart rate raising, brain fog, mood swings, and low libido. For women, the levels of sex hormones change and fluctuate more rapidly than for men. The change is more abrupt and that might explain the more severe symptoms in women. -Can we do something to relieve the symptoms? -What lifestyle interventions can we rely on? -Do we need to accept this phase and its symptoms as part of aging? -What about hormone therapy? Is that the only way to get some relief? #hormones #womenshealth #aging #deephealth
