Hormonal Health Affects Everything: Mood, Energy, Cravings, Sex Drive, Where We Put on Weight

Around times of hormonal transition - puberty, postpartum and especially peri-menopause - our bodies can start to change in new ways even though we may be eating and exercising the same ... increased weight in general for some and for others same weight but shift in body shape and fat distribution - more weight abdominally often.

If energy, mood, sleep, cravings, sex drive or ability to handle stress changes with this I notice most women don’t realize that it’s all connected and that at its root is an imbalance in hormones. 

Exercise and nutrition are foundational in restoring balance but not in an ‘exercise more, eat less way’. Nope this won’t work here and causes needless suffering. 🙁

What will work is eating, exercising and listening to your body in a new way.

In my 3 phase naturopathic foundations program the second phase is ‘CALM’. It’s around creating hormonal and nervous system balance and restoring energy —- it often brings women into a more celebratory, loving relationship with their bodies. It takes women’s unique hormonal physiology into account so real lasting healthy change can happen in terms of energy and mood, body shape (a bigger indicator of hormonal balance than weight) and sleep and overall mojo!

95% of the time for the women I work with there’s a hormonal aspect that’s influencing their symptoms (often cortisol) so this 6 session phase gives women the foundations for bringing this into more balance.🎈
