Hormone Balance FAQ: How to Take My Top Supplement for Hormones

Feel like your hormones are out of control? I’ve been there.

I’m no stranger to hormone imbalance. In fact, out-of-balance hormones have threatened to derail my life — not once, not twice, but three times.

The first time, when I was in school, stress threw my hormones out of balance so severely that I couldn’t stay awake in my classes.

The second time, when I opened my private practice, and was so drained of energy that I couldn’t stay awake.

And a third time, when I was writing my seventh book and was diagnosed with Hashimoto’s.

Overweight, suffering from out-of-control-PMS, irregular periods, anxiety, chronic fatigue,  and developing a severe caffeine dependency just to get through the day, I knew I needed a solution.

Tests revealed my hormones were severely out of balance.

No one deserves to feel like this — especially when there are simple, effective, natural solutions that can help you get your hormones in balance, restore your energy, and have you back in control of your body.

In this situation, many doctors will go straight to hormone replacement to get your hormones in check — but what if there is another solution? I worked hard to find effective, natural ways to balance my hormones and get my body back on track — and you deserve the same.

Learning your hormones is out of balance may be stressful — especially if you’re suffering from chronic fatigue or generally feeling poorly because of it. But I’m here to help you find natural, effective solutions to regain control over your body and get your hormones back to equilibrium.

WHY A MAGIC PILL ISN’T WHAT YOU NEED

Supplements contain unique formulas of concentrated bioavailable nutrients, vitamins, minerals, and adaptogenic herbs to support your body’s systems and overall health.

If you’re lacking in essential nutrients, your body isn’t able to perform its many functions properly. As a result, you may be tired, get sick often, or generally just feel blah.

For example, vitamin C is crucial to supporting healthy immune function, maintaining bone, joint, and teeth health, building and upkeeping collagen production, and much more. Meanwhile, if you’re low in vitamin D, you may have trouble sleeping, get sick often, have sore muscles, lose hair, and more.

A magic pill isn’t going to fix a problem with hormone imbalance — or any other nutritional deficiency that’s causing problems. Although many doctors may jump to hormone replacement as the solution for hormone imbalances, what if I told you there are natural ways to help get your hormones back on track?

Taking time for self-care, utilizing powerful essential oils, and eating healthy, nutritious foods are all great, natural steps you can take to help balance your hormones.

Ensuring you’re giving your body the vitamins, minerals, and nutrients it needs to support the systems that balance those hormones is also a great way to help get them back in harmony. A Hormone Balance supplement can do just that.

WHAT HORMONE-SUPPORT SUPPLEMENTS CAN DO

Whether you have debilitating PMS with each menstrual cycle or experience out-of-control hot flashes as you’re going through menopause, getting your hormones in balance can help you feel energized and at peace.

Getting the proper nutrients to your body to support your estrogen production and elimination and support your cells, bones, libido, muscles, sleep, and other systems can make a huge difference in the way you feel.

Since I know firsthand the pain of hormonal imbalance, I tried to find a supplement that could be paired with other lifestyle factors to bring those hormones back in line. I searched for a long time but was unable to find anything that I could wholeheartedly recommend. So I decided to make my own!

My Essentially Whole® Hormone Balance contains a synergistic blend of all my top ingredients to give your hormones the love that they need. Whether your hormonal challenges are related to stress, reproductive or metabolic hormones, or weight, hormone-support supplements are the essential puzzle piece to achieving complete hormone balance.

I recently updated the fomula for this amazing supplement to include Ashwagandha, which has been a game changer for me.

Ashwagandha, also known as Withania somnifera, has been revered in Ayurvedic medicine for centuries and I believe it’s also a great tool for women in perimenopause.

Celebrated for its adaptogenic properties, here’s how it can help:

• Reduces Stress and Anxiety: Ashwagandha works by lowering cortisol levels, helping you manage stress and anxiety more effectively. On a cellular level, it modulates the hypothalamic-pituitary-adrenal (HPA) axis, which plays a key role in the body’s stress response.
• Improves Sleep Quality: Promotes restful sleep and helps you wake up feeling refreshed. It enhances the body’s ability to relax by reducing the stress hormone cortisol, while increasing dopamine, serotonin, and GABA..
• Boosts Energy and Reduces Fatigue: Supports adrenal function, helping combat fatigue and increase your energy levels. Ashwagandha increases the production of adenosine triphosphate (ATP) in your mighty mitochondria, which is essential for energy.
• Balances Hormones: Regulates the entire endocrine system, crucial for maintaining hormonal balance during perimenopause. It helps normalize the production of hormones like estrogen and progesterone.
• Enhances Cognitive Function: Improves memory, concentration, and overall brain health by reducing oxidative stress and inflammation in the brain.

HERE ARE SOME OF THE TOP HORMONE BALANCE QUESTIONS I GET ON A REGULAR BASIS:

WHEN SHOULD I TAKE THE CAPSULES?

Ideally, take 2 capsules in the morning and 2 capsules at lunch or dinner. If it’s more convenient to take all 4 at once, however, you can do that as well and still get great results. You can also take it at any time in your cycle.

DOES HORMONE BALANCE WORK WELL WITH LLV (LIFELONG VITALITY PACK FROM doTERRA)?

Yes, Essentially Whole Hormone Balance is a great choice to add to the foundation that the LLV provides. While LLV provides base support and nutrients, the Hormone Balance supplement adds extra nutrients and powerful herbs to support your hormones directly.

CAN I TAKE THIS AT THE SAME TIME AS MAGNESIUM RESTORE, SINCE HORMONE BALANCE ALSO INCLUDES MAGNESIUM?

Yes, It is fine to take both Hormone Balance and Magnesium Restore supplements at the same time. The majority of people are deficient in magnesium, so getting more is typically a good thing. Additionally, the amount of magnesium in Hormone Balance is quite small.

The symptom to watch for if your body is getting too much magnesium would be loose stools. If that were to happen, you would just reduce the dosage of magnesium a bit. However, this is not a big deal and not likely with the combo of Magnesium Restore and Hormone Balance, so you don’t need to worry.

CAN I TAKE HORMONE BALANCE WHILE PREGNANT?

No, unfortunately, Hormone Balance is not recommended during pregnancy.

CAN I TAKE HORMONE BALANCE WHEN I’M ALSO TAKING BIOIDENTICAL HORMONES?

Generally this is not an issue, but please speak with your doctor about your specific case.

CAN MEN TAKE HORMONE BALANCE SUPPLEMENTS?

Unfortunately, Hormone Balance is not suited for men.

CAN I TAKE HORMONE BALANCE AT THE SAME TIME AS METABOLIC RESTORE?

Yes, typically, it is fine to take both Hormone Balance and Metabolic Restore. They both contain B vitamins, but B vitamins are water-soluble, which means that it’s easy for your body to excrete any additional amounts in your system.

Of course, you should check with your doctor if you have any specific questions about your case.

SHOULD I ALSO TAKE A MULTIVITAMIN WHILE TAKING HORMONE BALANCE?

I do recommend taking a quality multivitamin in addition to Hormone Balance.

Hormone Balance provides lots of vitamins B-6, B-12, calcium, folate, magnesium, and more, but does not give the full range of vitamins and minerals that a multi can provide.

DOES HORMONE BALANCE CONTAIN CAFFEINE?

Although Hormone Balance contains green tea extract, fortunately, there is no caffeine in this supplement.

DOES HORMONE BALANCE USE ACTIVATED B VITAMINS?

Yes, the forms of B vitamins (B-6 and B-12) included in Hormone Balance are activated.

I AM EXPERIENCING HOT FLASHES, HEADACHES, AND TROUBLE SLEEPING — COULD IT BE CONNECTED TO HORMONE BALANCE?

• HOT FLASHES

Hormone Balance can take 60-90 days to begin to shift your hormones and decrease hot flashes. If you’ve finished a bottle, I recommend staying on the same dosage for at least another month. I would also consider taking 400mg of Magnesium each day to reduce hot flashes.

• HEADACHES

While I do not know individual cases and cannot give medical advice as such, this may be a detox reaction. Hormone Balance contains several nutrients that help support detox. If your detox systems were previously overburdened, this could potentially release more toxins. If this is the case, you would want to reduce the dose that you’re taking and work up gradually, while also doing extra work to support your detox pathways. 

One supplement that I always recommend for detox is my Magnesium Restore, as it helps your body properly handle and get rid of toxins. You can check out the Magnesium Restore here.

Additionally, you can check out some other ideas for detox in this blog post.

If you continue to have issues, I would advise that you consult with your doctor, as they know your specific medical history.

• RESTLESSNESS

Sometimes adaptogenic herbs can increase adrenal function which can increase energy. It’s likely that is what is going on in this case.

I would recommend cutting down to 2 capsules in the morning and see how your body adjusts.

DOES HORMONE BALANCE HELP ENDOMETRIOSIS?

Since endometriosis is a complex issue, I am not able to state specific recommendations for this. However, I can assure you that this supplement was formulated with many quality hormone-balancing herbs and ingredients, which you can learn more about here. I recommend that you discuss this supplement with your trusted healthcare provider who understands your individual needs.

DOES HORMONE BALANCE CONTAIN CORN?

No, Hormone Balance does not contain any traces of corn. The cellulose and vegetable stearate are derived from wood pulp of North American trees and non-GMO palm, respectively.

It’s also free of eggs, gluten, dairy, soy protein, and artificial sweeteners, so you can rest assured that you’re getting your essential nutrients without any common allergens.

Don’t accept suffering from debilitating PMS or menopausal symptoms and let it rule your life. With the ideal blend of concentrated vitamins, adaptogenic herbs, minerals, and more, Essentially Whole Hormone Balances gives your body the nutrients it needs to support the systems that balance your hormones.
