Menopause Essential Resources
I want you to think about your hormones like a cake recipe. Each of these hormones must be in proper balance in order for the cake to bake correctly. What happens when your ingredients are off? What does it taste like? Does it bake correctly and rise in the middle, or does it collapse? My goal is for you to have a thorough understanding of these ingredients and how they combine together so feel your best and thrive as you transition through menopause. When they’re out of balance you’re likely feeling like a HOT MESS!! Let’s dig into these ingredients and how we can rectify things to help you on your journey.
Base Hormones
(FLOUR)
Our first ingredient is our BASE HORMONES of Estrogen, progesterone, and testosterone. We need a full understanding of how these being in proper balance through this transition are imperative to our long-term health. You can find more information by reading these books. You will also learn about these through the coaching program.
Macronutrients
(EGGS/BUTTER)
The second ingredient is MACRONUTRIENTS. I want to help you improve your food group knowledge by teaching you how to evaluate your food intake as well educate you on the importance of the proper balance of the three major food groups and of carbs, fats, and protein will improve your health long-term as well as help you build muscle, lose fat, and create the physique you may desire. ou can find more information on macronutrient coaching here.
Kitchen Swaps
(SUGAR)
The third ingredient of our HOT MESS hormonal cake is SUPPLEMENTATION. Aside from increasing your education about how nutrition affects your horomones, it’s also important to create a plan to ensure you're cooking and baking with the right ingredients, replacing table sugar and regular flour with healthier options to maximize your nutrition. You can find some of the recommended swaps here.
Toxins
(SALT)
Ingredient number four is TOXINS. Knowledge about our exposure to daily toxins is imperative. It is important for you to begin removing all of the hormone disruptors you’re exposed to daily by removing household and beauty items that are damaging to your health. Exposure to endocrine disruptors like phthalates, PFAS, and pesticides can be a major cause in your hormonal imbalance. As you do this, your body will have the energy to absorb all of the beneficial things and prevent diseases like cancer.
Supplementation
(BAKING SODA)
Our fifth ingredient is SUPPLEMENTATION. The last step in this recipe is to ensure your body is in prime condition by adding vitamins and minerals not always found in food due to corporate farming. You likely need to add additional VitD/K, Magnesium, etc. Click the link below for recommendations.
