Why hormones are so much more than the reproductive system, pms and menopause, and how to work with your hormones no matter where you are at in your life.

In today’s blog i would like to share with you an intricate orchestra within the body, our hormones! And before i share how i work with hormones, i would like for you to get into my head a little bit and see how i visualize hormones. Our hormones are like a symphony it requires a conductor, tuning, and multiple players that work together in sync. Hormones are controlled be our nervous system and then released into the blood to reach the endocrine glands of the body. It’s interesting that we ignore the hormones when thinking about overall health, when hormones runs through the entire body. What’s important to understand here is our hormones desire to be in harmony with each other, meaning balanced yet regulated.

That can be a tricky task for the endocrine system considering there is so much incoming and out going from the body on a daily based, as I’ve spoken about in other blog posts.

The journey to hormone-driven wellness begins with understanding the dance our hormones play and what you can do today to make a habit of being in-tune with your hormone health.

When your glands especially your HPA Axis has harmony, your body’s nervous system functions optimally, think stress resilience, digestion, mood, sleep, and relationships with others. Mind, body, soul, right. But we known that the endocrine can get disrupted, by beauty products, cleaning products, the demands and habits of modern life, and other factors can disrupt this delicate balance.

Now when i say hormone health you’re likely thinking about pms, menses thoughts sorts of things.

No. For me and my personal journey with hormone health it was about struggling with insomnia, unregulated nervous system, and my circadian clock completely out of whack. My Hormones were ran by my adrenals, the little caps that sit atop of my kidney’s – these little glands also took over my thyroid. Notice how they were not in harmony but desired to work together in an imbalance. Everything was wonky for me, especially after 3 kids all 2 years apart. For a handful of years i chalked it up to just being a mom, a busy mom with littles. But no, i knew something wasn’t in harmony. Especially after my third was starting to sleep through the night, i was not. My internal rhythm not in rhythm.
