Do you think you might be experiencing  a disturbed hormonal  balance? If so, please pay attention to this, as a disturbed hormonal balance can seriously lead to health problems. This  is why it is important to understand how female hormones work and how you can restore and maintain their balance. 

Unfortunately, there isn’t a one-way solution to restore and balance back  your hormones . It’s a complex subject and we think it is very important to go a bit more into detail for you to get the full picture. 

What is Hormonal Balance?

Hormonal balance is the correct ratio of hormones that you have in your body. . It’s a topic we often hear and talk about , but what actually are hormones ? Here’s what Van Dale says about it:  

hor·mone (plural: hormones) substance secreted by glands and of great importance to the organism

More specifically, hormones are all the chemicals produced by glands in our body which are then  carried through the bloodstream to other parts of the body to regulate various processes. Hormones play an important role in many bodily functions, such as metabolism, growth, reproduction and mood. As you can see hormones have quite an important role, hence the importance to talk about it. 

Disturbed hormonal balance

We have just touched on it: a disturbed hormonal balance can lead to health problems. Your hormones can become unbalanced for various reasons. Think of (too much) stress, age, illness, little sleep or wrong nutrition. This can result in countless complaints such as fatigue, weight gain, mood swings, depression, acne and irregular menstruation. In short: a hormone imbalance  manifests itself in various annoying ways.

Hormonal balance for women

“It must be my hormones.” It’s a statement you’ve probably heard – or said yourself.

Women experience various hormonal changes throughout their lives. This means that the body needs different attention in different phases of life. The balance of hormones in women is partly influenced by the menstrual cycle, pregnancy and menopause.

During the menstrual cycle, estrogen production increases, leading to ovulation and subsequently progesterone production. A lack of estrogen can lead to irregular periods and symptoms such as hot flashes, vaginal dryness and mood swings.

During menopause, estrogen production decreases, which can lead to symptoms such as hot flashes, night sweats, and fatigue.

Because hormonal imbalance can arise due to many different factors, it is important that hormones function as they should. Once balanced, they increase your well being via enabling you to get more energy, your mood, sleep and overall your complete well being. 

Restore hormone balance

Restoring your hormonal balance can be done in different ways. It is of course important that you have the healthiest possible lifestyle. Try and think of;

• A balanced diet with as many pure and fresh products, vegetables and fruit as possible
• Sufficient daily exercise
• Enough sleep
• A lot of water
• Various relaxating moments

Why not give  yourself an extra walk when the sun is shining, that shopping session in an organic store you’ve been thinking about ,or even going to bed that one hour earlier. All of these things can  actually be very  helpful for improving your hormones’ levels.

Hormone-disrupting substances: which substances should you  avoid?

We now know which supplements, herbs and  habits are helpful when you strive for a good hormone balance, but surely  you also would like to know which hormone-disrupting substances you want to avoid.

We come into contact with foreign chemicals every day. These substances can disrupt your hormonal balance. The RIVM reports that much is still unknown about the consequences of coming into contact with endocrine disrupting substances. Yet there are many concerns about exposure to these substances, especially during pregnancy or for babies. According to the National Institute for Public Health and the Environment, the harmfulness of  substances  depend on the amount you ingest and in which phase of your life you are.

Although you’re probably expecting a  list of substances to avoid permanently, we can’t give you a complete list. It is however known that a large amount of the following substances can be endocrine disrupting:

• Phthalates (this is used to ensure that plastic is not too hard)
• Bisphenols (this is used as a base to make plastics and some of them are endocrine disruptors)
• Different ingredients in the contraceptive pill
