Many people experience issues like fatigue, mood disturbances, and weight changes, which can often be traced back to hormonal imbalances. Key hormones such as thyroid, insulin, sex hormones (estrogen, progesterone, testosterone), and adrenal hormones (like cortisol) are essential for optimal health.

High-quality protein is essential in regulating peptide hormones, which in turn influence energy, growth, stress management, and sex hormones. Include protein-rich foods like chicken, fish, turkey, and plant-based options like nuts and legumes in your diet.

Fats play a critical role in steroid hormone production, including cortisol and sex hormones. Incorporate healthy fats such as avocados, olive oil, and nuts to support hormonal functions.

• Dairy products, due to antibiotics and hormones that can imbalance female hormones.
• Sugar, which disrupts gut health and leads to insulin resistance, affecting hormone levels.

Adequate sleep (7-8 hours) is crucial as it allows hormonal production and balance during the body's rest period, particularly between 11:00 PM and 3:00 AM.

Stress negatively impacts cortisol and thyroid hormones. Incorporate relaxation techniques such as meditation or deep breathing exercises to mitigate hormonal disturbances.
