Do you sometimes feel like your hormones are going crazy? This often happens in love - it's normal. But what you should definitely be concerned about is when your hormone balance is out of whack. Unfortunately, our hormone system is very easy to upset. Even a minor disruption can upset our entire body and affect our well-being. Millions of people around the world are affected by this.

Do you have one or more of these symptoms yourself?

  • Tiredness 
  • Irritability
  • States of anxiety
  • Sleep disorders
  • Significant weight gain or weight loss
  • Recognizable changes in sex drive
  • Attention deficit disorders
  • Changes in appetite

This could be a sign that your hormone balance is no longer in balance either!

 

➤ Millions of people suffer from hormonal disorders!

 

What are hormones responsible for in our body?

The hormones in our body maintain all bodily functions. If they go awry, the symptoms can vary greatly depending on which hormone is affected.

If we have a disorder , for example, we sleep poorly, lose our appetite or have food cravings. We can also suffer from burnout, are generally more susceptible to infections and allergies or have problems keeping our blood sugar levels constant.

Hormones therefore control far more than just our emotions; they also control our actions, thoughts and health. 

The body's large glands such as the pituitary gland, pineal gland, pancreas and adrenal glands are responsible for the production of hormones. 

 

➤ Almost nothing works in our body without the hormone system!

 

Why does our hormone system get mixed up in the first place? 

The main causes of hormonal disorders include

  • Unbalanced, inadequate diet 
  • Poor intestinal health
  • Inflammations
  • A high level of stress
  • Genetic predisposition
  • Taking medication (e.g. the pill)
  • A high level of pollution

As a result, the respective gland produces too little or too much hormone, which can have far-reaching consequences!

 

➤  Around 35 hormones are known to cause serious illnesses if they are disrupted, such as the blood sugar-lowering hormone insulin.

 

How does a hormone disorder manifest itself in our body?

  • Diabetes
  • Thyroid diseases
  • Emotional rollercoaster ride
  • Obesity (overweight) or underweight
  • Disruption of the menstrual cycle
  • Low testosterone levels and oestrogen dominance
  • Sleep disorders

➤ Every 3rd person has problems with their thyroid (hypothyroidism or hyperthyroidism)

 

How is a hormone disorder treated? 

Standard therapy carries risks!

Hormonal disorders are usually treated with synthetic hormone replacement therapies, the contraceptive pill or medication.

However, these synthetic agents have three effects on most people with hormone disorders:

  1. Dependence: Many sufferers remain dependent on prescription medication for the rest of their lives, as this is the only way they can keep their symptoms under control.
  2. Masking the underlying problem: Symptoms are usually simply masked. This allows the disease to progress and cause further problems.
  3. Severe side effects: Hormonal treatments increase the risk of serious health consequences such as strokes, osteoporosis, anxiety disorders, reproductive problems, cancer, etc.

The good news at the end!

You can bring your hormone balance back into equilibrium in a natural way.

Hormonal disorders can usually be treated with:

  • an anti-inflammatory diet
  • the intake of sufficient omega-3 fatty acids
  • effective stress management
  • sufficiently good sleep
  • the compensation of nutrient deficiencies
  • careful handling of medication
  • physical exercise and
  • the treatment of emotional stress

Supplements such as Omega 3 fatty acids or adaptogens such as Rhodiola Rosea, Ashwagandha or Reishi mushroom extract promote hormonal balance and protect the body from diseases caused by stress.

Here you will find detailed instructions on how to balance your hormone levels naturally.

Hormonal imbalances are anything but rare these days. However, they can usually be resolved naturally, which greatly improves your general well-being.

It is important that you track down the cause of your hormonal imbalance and rectify it.
