I wish more women knew that healthy hormones start with enough food and enough nutrients!
Somewhere along the way we’ve been taught that eating less is healthier.
Skip breakfast, save your calories, live off coffee, eat “clean”, push through the hunger.
Then we wonder why we’re exhausted, craving sugar by 3pm, waking in the night, feeling anxious or struggling with our cycle.
Your hormones need energy, your thyroid needs nutrients, your brain needs nutrients, your adrenal glands need nutrients.
And your menstrual cycle needs enough energy and nutrients to ovulate(important if if you are not trying ti conceive!), produce hormones and support a healthy cycle each month.
Your body is incredibly clever. If it senses that energy or nutrients are in short supply, it will always prioritise keeping you alive over reproduction. That can show up as irregular cycles, missing periods, poor ovulation or changes in hormone production.
You can’t expect your body to produce and regulate hormones when it’s constantly wondering where its next source of fuel is coming from.
This means eating enough. Eating regularly. Prioritising protein, healthy fats, fibre and a variety of colourful whole foods.
Before searching for another supplement, ask yourself this, am I actually giving my body enough of what it needs?
Have you ever realised you simply weren’t eating enough?
