Hormone Therapy for Women in Laguna Niguel

Consuming a diet that promotes blood sugar stability is key. This includes eating regular meals that provide protein, healthy fats, and complex carbs. By minimizing high-glycemic foods, simple carbs, and refined sugars, we help prevent insulin spikes that can throw off hormone balance.

Omega-3 and omega-6 fats are crucial for hormone production. Fish, chia seeds, flaxseeds, and walnuts support this process and help lower inflammation.

Phytoestrogen-rich foods such as flaxseeds, soy, and legumes assist in balancing estrogen, while cruciferous vegetables like broccoli and kale enhance estrogen metabolism.

Gut health plays a significant role in hormone balance. Dysbiosis, an imbalance in gut bacteria, can cause estrogen dominance. Fiber, fermented foods, and probiotics help maintain a healthy gut microbiome for hormone regulation.

Estrogen and other hormones are detoxified by the liver. Antioxidants, sulfur-rich vegetables (like garlic, onions, and cruciferous types), and adequate hydration support this process. Reducing toxins, alcohol, and processed foods minimizes liver load.

Elevated cortisol from chronic stress can disrupt the balance of hormones like progesterone and estrogen. Adding mindfulness, meditation, yoga, and adequate sleep supports stress management.

Moderate exercise performed regularly aids hormone balance by decreasing stress, boosting insulin sensitivity, and assisting with weight management. However, too much exercise can disrupt hormones, especially in women, so it’s important to customize both intensity and frequency.

Regular monitoring of hormone levels through blood tests is essential, and dietary and lifestyle interventions should be adjusted according to the individual's feedback. This continual assessment helps keep the approach effective as the body changes.
