<p>Hormonal changes can take us by surprise sometimes, whether they’re due to normal changes like pregnancy or menopause, or they’re an indication that something is out of balance like with PMS, you can support your body with natural health supplements.</p>
<h3>Hormonal health for women</h3>
<p>Hormones are messengers that give instructions for almost every process in the body. We are well familiar with our sex hormones – oestrogen and progesterone, but there are others that all work together to keep your body in balance. When one of them has decreased, or is no longer working efficiently, then it can send a cascade of mixed messages to other systems in your body.</p>
<p>The changes that occur with the menstrual cycle can be compounded if other hormones are out of balance. This can lead to changes in mood, emotional resilience, and a decrease in the ability to handle extra demands. Here are some helpful tips for daily hormonal balance:</p>
<ul>
<li>Eat three wholesome meals a day for a healthy insulin response, and to limit blood sugar crashes.</li>
<li>Colourful vegetables and fruit contain phytonutrients and antioxidants which can support cellular function.</li>
<li>The stress hormones adrenaline and cortisol spike during blood sugar crashes and after coffee. Support your nervous system by trying low caffeine alternatives.</li>
<li>A healthy gut is integral to overall health and wellbeing, eating fibre, having daily bowel movements, and gut support supplements – which can support your body to make happy hormones like serotonin, and to absorb your nutrients better.</li>
</ul>
