Supporting Your Hormones Through Every Stage of Life
How your body handles puberty can reveal much about your hormonal balance. The good news? You can nourish and support your body to create a more balanced cycle. Nutrition plays a key role; the right supplements can help your organs effectively produce hormones.
For teens struggling through puberty, simple nutritional support—like minerals, proteins, and targeted herbs—can ease acne, mood swings, and sleep disturbances. Heavy periods may indicate a need for progesterone support with Chaste Tree (Vitex), while low or absent periods may benefit from estrogen-supporting nutrients like wheat germ. Instead of dismissing hormonal struggles as "just part of growing up," addressing imbalances early can lead to lasting benefits.
When it comes to fertility and pregnancy, balanced hormones make conception and a healthy pregnancy easier. Both parents can benefit from gut cleansing and nutritional support to promote optimal health for their baby. Since pregnancy puts extra demands on hormone-producing organs, it’s essential to replenish and support them between pregnancies with quality proteins, fats, calcium, and plant-based nutrition.
Digestion can become more complex as pregnancy progresses, so focusing on nutrient absorption is key. Many standard multivitamins don’t digest well—better options include Catalyn from Standard Process or Catalyst Complex from Food Research, and targeted endocrine and liver support.
Good nourishment throughout these stages helps set the foundation for a smoother transition into menopause. If you’re already in this phase and struggling, there are still many ways to support your body. The first step is understanding where you are—blood tests or scans can help identify what your body needs.
Taking action now can make all the difference in how you feel through every stage of life. Want to learn more about personalized support? Let's talk!
