Hormones are your body’s chemical messengers. They travel in your bloodstream to tissues and organs. They work slowly, over time, and affect many different processes, including: Growth and development, Metabolism, Reproduction and Mood. If you have symptoms like fatigue, skin issues, weight gain, sleep problems, PMS, endometriosis, infertility or other issues, chances are you have a hormonal imbalance! Here are some tips to help balance you out:

1) Avoid polyunsaturated fats. Choose fats like coconut oil, olive oil and real butter.

2) Limit caffeine. This can be hard for some, but try to slowly replace your coffee with beneficial herbal tea.

3) Avoid toxins. This, again, can be a challenge as toxins are found in many household items. When cooking, using glass or non-coated metal pans and avoid plastics!

4) Sleep! This can singlehandedly improve hormones and is even linked to longer life, less chance of disease and optimizing weight.
