Copy the links in the comments for the full video and get the final breakdown of what you need to do to balance your hormones! You can’t build a house on a cracked foundation, and the same goes for your health. Hormone imbalance is real, but if you’re not doing the basic things right, hormone therapy isn’t going to work wonders for you. Let’s dig into the rest of the 9 simple things you can start doing today. 👇 Here are the remaining 5 things you should focus on to balance your hormones: 1. Sleep is Non-Negotiable 🛏️💤 Sleep is so crucial, especially as we age. If your sleep is disrupted, it impacts your hormone levels, including hunger hormones and stress hormones. Getting quality sleep is key to balancing cortisol, improving your metabolism, and optimizing your energy. 2. Strength Training 💪🏋️♀️ Strength training is one of the best things you can do for your body, especially as you age. It builds muscle, increases your metabolism, and supports bone health—critical for women over 40. And it doesn’t stop there: the more muscle you have, the easier it becomes to maintain a healthy weight. 3. Hydration 💧 Stop blaming your hormones if you're dehydrated! Drinking enough water throughout the day is one of the simplest ways to improve your energy levels, metabolism, and overall well-being. Water supports your skin, your digestion, and even helps curb hunger. Aim for 64-80 ounces of water a day to keep your body functioning optimally. 4. Walking 🚶♀️ Walking is one of the best exercises for hormone balance and weight loss. I tell my clients to aim for 1,000 extra steps a day, and if you do this consistently, you’ll walk an additional 72 miles in a year! Plus, it improves your blood sugar regulation, helps burn calories, and supports overall metabolic health. Get those steps in! 5. Stress Management 🧘♀️ Ladies, stress is a silent killer when it comes to hormones. High stress leads to higher cortisol levels, which makes it harder to lose weight and balance hormones. Whether it's work, family, or personal stress, learning to manage stress effectively is key. Start focusing on these 9 simple habits (check part 1 for the first 4 things), and you’ll see dramatic improvements in how you feel, look, and perform.
