Recommendations for supporting hormone therapy
Balancing your hormones through properly monitored bioidentical replacement provides a powerful means of regaining optimal physical and mental performance while preventing chronic diseases of aging.
To achieve maximum benefits from therapy, incorporate these healthy lifestyle practices:
Follow a Mediterranean style diet emphasizing plant foods – especially cruciferous vegetables – healthy fats like olive oil and oily fish, fermented foods for gut health, and organic meat as tolerated. Limit processed carbs and sugars which provoke inflammation.
Aim for 30-60 minutes daily of heart-pumping aerobic, strength and flexibility training to improve hormone sensitivity, increase bone density, burn fat, support mental health and boost longevity.
Adaptogens herbs, meditation, yoga, massage, nature immersion and counseling help mitigate excess cortisol, insulin and inflammatory cytokines that disrupt endocrine balance.
Avoid plastics, harsh chemicals, molds and heavy metals which disrupt optimal hormonal signaling. Ensure healthy liver support.
