Allow me to put my health coach hat on for a while & let’s learn together…
3 Simple Ways to Eliminate Endocrine Disruptors to Increase Energy Levels
The Endocrine System
Did you know that men & women have different lengths of time for their energy cycles? A women’s cycle lasts 28 days, while a man’s cycle only lasts 24 hours. This is why most research studies are performed with male subjects due to this difference. Women’s health hasn’t been given the proper attention it deserves over the years & I’m hopeful for all of the continued research that is happening right now.
Hormones affect every aspect of your body’s function. The endocrine system is the collection of glands that regulate metabolism, growth and development, tissue function, sexual function, reproductive function, sleep, and mood. These hormones include adrenaline, cortisol, melatonin, insulin, progesterone, estrogen, testosterone. These hormones send messages throughout the body 24/7 and they are all interconnected.
Do You Have Hormonal Symptoms:
Are you exhausted from being stretched too thin for too long?
Are you unsatisfied with your ability to excel at work & connect at home?
Are you too busy & gaining weight?
Are you sleeping poorly?
Are you overwhelmed because everyone seems to want all of you all of the time?
3 Things to Consider for Endocrine Health:
#1 Eating healthy foods that fuel your body
Start by being intentional about what improves your health based upon your bio-individuality. You can begin by eating whole foods & paying attention to what makes your body feel more energized.
