Hormonal basics
Hormones are not just about periods or menopause. Hormones are chemical messengers in our body. They affect nearly all functions -influencing, triggering, and regulating everything from temperature to heart beat, from blood sugar to fertility, from mood to sleep rythms. Hormones work hard to keep our body in homeostasis, relaying information from your brain to different organs.
Hormones associated with metabolism, reproduction, the thyroid, and the HPA axis( hypothalmic-pituitary-adrenal axis) are the ones that become imbalanced over time. Rebooting these hormones seems to clear out the body to heal itself with support from high-quality Essential oils and key lifestyle changes.
Causes of hormonal imbalances in women
Women are trying to deal with everyday issues which are caused by imbalanced hormones. Stress/chronic stress is the biggest cause for hormonal imbalance among women due to the interconnectedness of all our systems. Unrelenting stress from every single angle continuously triggers our system and increases the levels of cortisol resulting in other symptoms.
How stress leads to hormonal imbalance?
Decreased metabolic function triggers starvation mode that prompts us to eat more. Muscle mass declines as the body attacks them to get more glucose for energy. There is weight gain in the middle, as well as around the vital organs and in adipose tissue to store energy. This increases belly fat.
Increased sugar consumption overloads the body unnatural highs and crashes. Reproduction is put on hold in favor of survival, because the body wouldn't allow a baby to come into the world where there is no food and perpetual danger. This can lead to infertility, irregular periods, PMS symptoms and more.
These symptoms are just the beginning of hormonal imbalance and can lead to serious condition - diabetes, autoimmune disorders, heart disease. But that's not all, there are factors such as environmental toxins, lurking in the air, chemicals in our food and beauty products, unhealthy diets. What you can do is reverse the damage by, rebalance your body, and recharge your life with the power and potency of Essential oils and lifestyle changes.
