E: 313 Hormone Healing Step-by-Step

If you feel your hormones are off, and you don't want to just take a pill or cream then this episode is for you. We are talking about the 6 steps of healing your hormones from the root cause level.

1 Blood sugar: spikes in blood, sugar, and insulin lower the levels of SHBG increasing free estrogen + testosterone.

2 Nutrient depletion: this can vary widely from person to person, but we often see magnesium, and B6 along with macro nutrient deficiencies.

3 Detox: estrogen is metabolized in the liver, so we’ve got to make sure that is functioning properly.

4 Gut Health: also another elimination pathway and powerful messenger to the brain and hormone control centers.

5 Stress: this is another one that varies from person a person, but one take on it is that stress causes the body to favor cortisol production over progesterone.

6 Xenoesteogens: these are everyday chemicals that mimic our hormones and so we have to minimize and eliminate them wherever possible.
