Empowered Choices and Natural Hormonal Balance

Empowered Choices and Natural Hormonal Balance
Female hormones have the power to make your feel beautiful, powerful and sexy....like a woman!
OR
They can turn our world upside down and leave us feeling powerless, confused, frumpy, fat,
Unmotivated, angry and somewhat ‘crazy’; anything but beautiful and sexy!

As I am sure you are aware, hormones are responsible for our sexuality, give us our body shape, determine how much hair we have, give our voice high or low pitch, and many other male and female attributes. What you may not be aware of is that hormones also regulate sleep, immune system, metabolic rate, body temperature, skin elasticity, bone density, weight, appetite, mental state, moods, memory, ageing parameters, and much more.

The unfortunate truth is that too many women have their lives governed by hormonal disturbances, some minor; some disturbance can have a major impact on the quality of life and can also have fairly major impact on their health.

Some of the symptoms that hormonal imbalance can cause are:

· Hot flushes
· Mood Swings
· Irregular Menstrual Cycle
· Lose of mental focus
· Depression
· Sore Breast
· Fluid Retention
· Loss of libido
· Fibroid Cysts, Breast Lumps
· Cyclic Migraines
· Loss of skin tone
· Dry vagina
· Infertility
· Weight gain and resistant obesity
· Insulin resistance
· Low blood sugar
· Carbohydrate cravings (sweets, cakes, chocolate, pastries etc)
· Emotional outburst (crying, anger, frustration)
· Loss of bone density

I am sure there more that I haven’t thought of at this point, but you may know all too well some or many of the above symptoms.

Physicians today often use synthetic hormone analogs to treat these symptoms, but they have side effects, and normally target just one of the suspect hormones, hormones do not act alone, they work together to create harmony. Add this to the fact that if a synthetic or pseudo hormone is administered the natural production of hormones ceases.

Pseudo hormones are those substances that are in our environment and food that mimic naturally occurring hormones yet do none of the good work normal hormones do. Synthetic hormones are the man made hormones that are produced to replace some of the known action of particular hormones. There is also a range of drugs that block certain hormones from being produced naturally in the body.

This is all very complicated I know and I have tried to simplify it as much as possible for you. The wonderful work of nature is that if the natural environment is occurring in the body it will produce the perfect balance of hormones to have the entire endocrine system working in perfect harmony.


As a holistic practitioner I believe that in order to restore natural functions we need to examine the whole person. Both the mind and the body are important.

There are a number of factors that each and every one of us can control and there are a number of factors that are completely out of our control in life. It will be most productive to focus your attentions on the factors that you can control to some extent.

The power of the mind and choice
Choices you make in life become your power point. Making choices that empower your life is one of the first steps towards creating the life you desire.

Those choices will be around such things as your choice of nutritious foods, natural versus synthetic support for your natural hormones, your physical activity levels, and changing any damaging thought patterns.

Thought patterns and habits have great power in how you feel about life, often those patterns are so habitual that you may not be aware that there are other possibilities. Some of those patterns that may be counterproductive are:

· Un-informed, negative yet ‘typical’ thinking
· Emotional reactions to adversity and problems
· Ineffective problem solving strategies in dealing with life
· Self-sabotage and un-empowering thinking and beliefs
·
The possible alternatives are:
· Inner Peace, Harmony and genuine happiness
· Conducting life from a position of sustained personal power
· Informed choices with the ultimate outcome in mind
· Following your life’s purpose
Empower your Wellbeing with informed choices, enriched ready to meet challenges, and create inner peace, harmony and genuine happiness.
