Hormone Makeover: 5 Easy Daily Steps to Get Back to Balance

I know… you’re busy. Trying to fit one more thing into your routine can feel like a Herculean effort. If you’re like many people, you rush around and barely make it home in time for dinner. Maybe your meals consist of fast-food, grab-and-go, or take-out. Most Americans don’t drink enough water each day, rarely get enough sleep each night, and struggle to consume a balanced diet.

Sound familiar? It’s ok! You’re not alone.

If you’re ready to make a few small changes to take control of your health, I’m here to help. Many people are taking advantage of healthy, all-natural things that can truly help your body stay strong and improve your energy levels. And while a makeover at the salon may boost your mood temporarily, I suggest we give your hormones a makeover that will help you feel better each and every day.

Here are a few easy changes you can make to get your hormones back in balance.

Eat Phytonutrients

Phytonutrients are found in plants, and they work to prevent sickness and disease by fortifying your body with wholesome and nutritional substances. Though there are over 25,000 phytonutrients, only a dozen are important to consume on a regular basis. The six most important are flavonoids, carotenoids, resveratrol, ellagic acid, glucosinolates, and phytoestrogens. Most of these can be found naturally in carrots, greens, cantaloupe, sweet potatoes, and other fresh fruits and vegetables.

Supplement for your Hormones

Your body relies on dozens of hormones that need to be in proper balance for everything to work as it should. Yes, the most well-known players like estrogen and progesterone are important, but others are just as critical (if not more so) to maintaining your energy, weight, sleep, and so much more.

While specific, targeted foods can supply some building bocks your hormones rely on, you just can’t do it all with food alone. Supplements can be an easy and FAST way to get your body back on track naturally.

There are many helpful supplements, but as a baseline here’s what I recommend for women who feel like energy, sleep, weight, periods, PMS, hot flashes, or other hormone concerns are taking over their life:

• Magnesium Restore to reduce overall inflammation and promote optimal hormone production AND detoxification
• Activated B Complete to enhance liver function (which is critical for overall hormone balance) and supply energy to your cells
• Essentially Whole Hormone Balance, my own custom formula of hormone-supporting ingredients to enhance overall homeostasis in your body
• Essentially Whole Progest-Restore, because especially after age 35, your progesterone levels naturally start to decrease, leading to a whole host of unsavory symptoms. Progest-Restore is a bioidentical topical progesterone serum designed to naturally increase progesterone levels to relieve hot flashes, stubborn belly fat, sleep struggles, anxiety, stress, and so much more!

Get Mindful with Yoga and Meditation

If your life seems so hectic that you can’t find a moment to yourself, you may be ready to make some positive changes. Small adjustments can make a giant impact that will result in a more healthy lifestyle. For instance, take a short walk every afternoon with the dog or kids, or try a few simple yoga positions to calm your mind. Even waking just a few minutes early and spending some time meditating or reading a favorite book can help!

Oil up with Essential Oils

You’ve probably heard a lot about essential oils, as their popularity is skyrocketing in recent years. The benefits of aromatherapy are widely known and include physical and mental health support.

Various blends can improve one’s mood, increase cognitive abilities, and elevate psychological or physical feelings of well-being. For example,

• Lavender oil may help relieve discomfort, stress, and tension, while supporting relaxation and healthy sleep.
• Lemon oil has been known to support digestive and liver health by supplying key antioxidants.
• Ylang Ylang oil is a natural uplifter and an aphrodisiac.
• Clary Sage helps to support reproductive hormone levels and stabilizes your mood.
• Peppermint oil is great for lessening tension, improving energy and for cooling down body temperature.

While oils are NOT a cure, they can absolutely deliver some instant wins that will help you get some relief while you take other critical steps to heal your body!

Substitute Matcha Tea for Coffee

If you’re like most of us, you drink too much coffee. Though we all love a hot cup of java, the amount of caffeine (and, for many of us, sugar) puts a critical strain on your adrenal glands and can make you feel MORE stressed and burned out in the long run.

So swap your cup of joe for a cup of matcha tea! This green tea is rich in antioxidants and provides protection against many forms of cancer and heart disease. It aids in regulating blood pressure and has even shown good results regarding its anti-aging properties. Matcha is also used in weight loss because it boosts metabolism. Its lower caffeine level actually supplies MORE sustained energy in the long run because it acts more like a slow-release support instead of the instant spike (followed by a crash) that coffee gives you.

Not quite ready to quit coffee cold turkey? That’s ok! Just substitute one or two cups of coffee each week with matcha tea instead. You’ll soon feel energetic, positive, and excited to tackle the world.

A lot of people ask me what my favorite brand of matcha is, so if you’d like some of the highest antioxidant matcha, I recommend Ujido matcha. And if you use this link and promo code DRMARIZA, you can get 10% off your next matcha order!

Want to reset your hormones and achieve whole-body health the easy way?

If you look at these steps and STILL feel overwhelmed, I understand. Making changes is HARD. When I was going through my own hormone struggles while working and trying to be the best wife/friend/daughter I could, all I wanted was for someone to sit me down and tell me EXACTLY what I needed to do to get better.

I didn’t have that person, but I don’t want to leave you without this vital support!

That’s why I dug into the research and created my 14-Day Hormone Detox. This program is not like any other detox you’ve seen. It’s totally easy to follow, gentle on your body (so you don’t feel hangry and crappy the whole time), and its 100% safe and doable for EVERYONE, no matter your medical history, age, or nutrition preferences.

The beauty of this program is that you get to adapt it to fit your needs! By making a few simple changes to your daily routine, you will invite so much more abundant health and energy into your body and life.
