As women, our hormones and their natural fluctuations throughout our monthly cycle as well as throughout our lifetime dictate much about our health.
Hormonal balance plays a huge role with
how we feel during our monthly period
if we have PMS symptoms or not
conception- how easy or hard it is to get pregnant
how our skin looks
our moods
our energy and drive to get things done
our metabolism and our weight
The key hormones when it comes to women’s health are Estrogen, Progesterone, Cortisol, Insulin, Thyroid
Hormones are chemical messengers and these hormones are always “talking” to each other. Hormonal balance is when our body is making the right amount of hormone at the right time of the day/ month.

Naturopathic Approach to Women’s health
Find and address the root cause. This is the goal.
When it comes to supporting hormonal balance, it’s important to support the foundation first. The foundational systems include our gut health, liver, adrenals, blood sugar. It’s also important to address inflammation, poor sleep, environmental toxins, and nutrient deficiencies.
This is the key to optimizing hormones.
It takes more than taking hormones to balance your hormones!
