Pro-Aging Tip #5: Hormone Harmony

Unlocking Your Body’s Potential to THRIVE through HORMONE shifts and AGING.

From dealing with hormonal issues quite extensively in my teens into my 30’s, I’ve found my life experience to have been the very best teacher.

I am here to tell you, too, that at 50 years of age I am more hormonally balanced than I have ever been in my entire life.

BUT it didn’t just happen. It’s not genes. I’m not taking a magic pill. And it’s not simply good luck.

It takes INTENTION, WILL, and DILIGENCE while FOCUSING on your WHY.

It took trial and error and understanding that these hormonal imbalances are NOT NORMAL as we’ve been led to believe.

The majority of women in the world don’t deal with these unpleasant issues so we must ask WHY! WHAT is different? HOW can I NOT be a part of this unfortunate NORM that as both young and aging women alike we’ve come to expect?

I’ve learned to LISTEN to my body, be CURIOUS and DISCOVER alternative practices, protocols and foundations that set me on the path to THRIVING in this phase of life.

And so I share with YOU because I want YOU to THRIVE too!

Again, as I will always tell you, I’m not trying to take the place of your medical practitioner.

I am simply a WOMAN who has gone through decades of hormonal challenges to DISCOVER the true GIFT of feeling BALANCED.

And so I share many of my discoveries with YOU.

Hormones—those tiny chemical messengers that control everything from our energy to our emotions—play a vital role in every woman’s health and well-being.

Balancing these seemingly uncontrollable hormones can feel, well, next to impossible and downright frustrating at times.

But what if the key to balancing them lies not just in the hormones themselves—or the well-known thyroid gland—but in the health of two often-overlooked organs: your gut and your liver?

Let’s take a dive into how the LIVER and GUT can affect a woman’s hormonal health and discover HOW YOU can CHANGE your BELIEFS and STORY around this PHASE of LIFE.

You don’t have to be miserable during perimenopause and menopause or in your youth! THRIVING during these phases is very much possible! There is HOPE ladies.

Your Liver: The Hormone Powerhouse

The liver is more than simply your body’s ultimate detoxifier. Along with other crucial tasks, this gland also secretes hormones that regulate many of your bodily functions. Its job is pretty important and one you really don’t want to disrupt.

If your liver becomes overloaded or congested —whether by stress, poor nutrition, or environmental toxins—it often leads to hormone imbalances.

When this takes place, clearing out excess estrogen and progesterone is a struggle and in rush the HORMONE IMBALANCES. BOOM!

HELLO mood swings, acne, hot flashes, decreased libido, weight gain, fatigue, bloating and overall discomfort. Sound familiar?

THIS is why nurturing and nourishing your LIVER is a non negotiable if BALANCED HORMONES is your goal.

Whether you’re 20, 50 or beyond this pertains to YOU.

A supported liver allows your body to process hormones more efficiently, leaving you feeling more energized and balanced.

Your Gut: The Hormone Connection

Your gut isn’t just for digesting food—it’s a key player in hormone health too!

The gut microbiome, a collection of trillions of bacteria living in your digestive tract, create and regulate hormones.

In fact, gut hormones regulate the vital functions of metabolism, appetite, and even immune responses.

When the gut is imbalanced—due to poor diet, antibiotics, or other factors—it can lead to a buildup of harmful bacteria. This, in turn, may disrupt how your body handles estrogen and progesterone, which can cause frustrating symptoms like bloating, irritability, fatigue and other undesirable symptoms.

A healthy gut provides the perfect environment for hormone balance, while a gut out of balance can leave you feeling, well, anything but balanced.

Thriving Through Every Phase

Here’s the TRUTH: women don’t have to feel miserable. You don’t have to be a VICTIM of TIME.

It’s EMPOWERING to understand that how we feel in relation to our hormones is deeply influenced by our lifestyle choices.

You can thrive through perimenopause and menopause. The symptoms that so many women take for granted as unavoidable can often be minimized—or even eliminated—when your liver, gut, and hormones are working in harmony.
