  • Here is the text from the image titled "The Eight Pillars of Hormone Health":


    BLOOD SUGAR STABILITY

    WHY IT MATTERS: Frequent blood sugar swings spike stress hormones, disrupt hormonal rhythms, and drive inflammation. Balanced blood sugar sets the stage for energy, mood, and hormone regulation.

    • Eat every 3–5 hours

    • Prioritize protein at meals

    • Add fiber & healthy fats

    • Avoid “naked” carbs

    • Don’t skip breakfast


    GUT HEALTH

    WHY IT MATTERS: Your gut impacts how you absorb nutrients, hormone metabolism, and immune balance. If inflamed or imbalanced, it becomes a hidden stressor that disrupts hormones upstream.

    • Test for pathogens

    • Colourful fruits/veggies

    • Slow down, chew a lot

    • Fiber rich foods

    • Poop daily


    LIVER DETOX

    WHY IT MATTERS: Your liver filters out used-up hormones and toxins. If sluggish, they recirculate, contributing to symptoms like fatigue, skin issues, mood swings.

    • Avoid processed foods

    • Cruciferous veggies

    • Avoid alcohol & toxins

    • Love your lemon water

    • Stay hydrated


    ADRENAL FUNCTION

    WHY IT MATTERS: Chronic stress pushes your body into survival mode. Hormones like cortisol & adrenaline spike, downregulating your reproductive system. If stress isn’t managed, hormone health can’t improve.

    • Limit caffeine if you are wired & tired

    • Gentle movement (walks, yoga)

    • Boundaries with screen time

    • Deep breaths before meals


    SLEEP QUALITY

    WHY IT MATTERS: Sleep is our best rebooter — producing hormones, repairing tissues, clearing out toxins. Poor sleep = cortisol rises, estrogen & testosterone drop, and hormone balance takes a hit.

    • Avoid screens before bed

    • Aim for 7–9 hours

    • Consistent sleep-wake time

    • Dark, cool room

    • Avoid late, big meals


    NUTRIENT STATUS

    WHY IT MATTERS: Your body needs minerals & B vitamins to create and metabolize hormones. Deficiencies make it harder to detox, use thyroid hormones, and keep inflammation low.

    • Eat enough daily

    • Prioritize animal protein

    • Test for deficiencies

    • Include egg yolks, sea salt, bone broth and greens


    INFLAMMATION-IMMUNE BALANCE

    WHY IT MATTERS: Chronic inflammation suppresses ovulation, increases cortisol, blocks thyroid hormone and triggers immune flares.

    • Anti-inflammatory & rest days

    • Hydration

    • Anti-inflammatory diet

    • Add antioxidants: berries, greens, healthy fats

    • Avoid stressors: toxins, seed oils, heavy metals, etc


    MOVEMENT & MUSCLE

    WHY IT MATTERS: Muscle plays a key role in blood sugar balance, insulin sensitivity, and stress resilience. Too much cardio can be a stressor if not supported.

    • Walk – 8K to 10K steps

    • Take 1–3 full rest days/week

    • Lift weights 3–4x week

    • Skip excessive cardio


  • Shocking Food Facts Doctors Won’t Tell You

    1. Just 5 walnuts a day can improve memory and cognitive function due to high omega-3 content.

    2. A 100g bar of dark chocolate (70–85% cocoa) packs 11.9mg of iron, more than a 100g beef steak (2.7mg).

    3. Coconut Water is Nearly Identical to Blood Plasma. It was once used in emergency IV rehydration during wartime.

    4. Celery is 95% Water But Packed with Electrolytes – Making it a natural hydrating booster with almost zero calories.

    5. Egg Yolks Contain Almost Every Essential Vitamin – they have vitamins A, D, E, K, and B-complex, making them nutrient-dense foods.

    6. Apples give you more energy than coffee – thanks to their natural sugars and high fiber content, they provide a steady energy boost without the crash.

    7. Broccoli contains more vitamin C than an orange – that’s why it has powerful cancer-fighting properties.
