How To Balance Women’s Hormones

Hormones are suppose to fluctuate throughout the month as part of the monthly cycle, this is normal, but what is not normal is the many symptoms that can come when these hormone levels are out of balance.
PMS and Menopause symptoms occur when the natural fluctuations in hormones go out of balance, and you are too high or too low in one or more hormones.
There are so many symptoms that an imbalance in your estrogen, progesterone, testosterone, adrenal and thyroid hormones can cause that you cannot rely just on symptoms.
Hormonal imbalance can cause many symptoms, but these symptoms can be caused by low progesterone or high estrogen, or possible the root cause is an adrenal or thyroid problem.
“Test don’t guess” saves you time and money when it comes to hormonal health! Not to mention it gets you on the right track a lot faster. That’s why testing takes out the guesswork.

Symptoms Of Hormone Imbalances With Menopause And PMS Can Include

  • PMS
  • Anxiety / Depression
  • Fatigue
  • Hot flushes
  •  Digestion problems
  • Weight gain
  • Fluid retention
  • Mood changes
  • Brain fog
  • Fibroids/ Cysts
  • Skin problems

How To Test your Adrenal and Sex Hormones

Because stress and cortisol dysfunction can be the driving force behind hormonal imbalances I recommend doing the DUTCH complete hormone test.
The DUTCH test is a Dried Urine Test for Comprehensive Hormones and it can be done anywhere in the world, and then posted back to the lab for analysis.

How To Test your Adrenal and Sex Hormones

  • Estrogen including estradiol, estrone and estriol, excess levels are a common cause of many PMS symptoms while low levels can cause hot flushes in menopause.
  • Testosterone and the metabolites which is important if you have acne or PCOS
  • DHEAs and the DHEA metabolites
  • Cortisone
  • Progesterone low levels can cause mood changes and fluid retention
  • Estrogen metabolites which show how well your metabolising estrogen, this is important for preventing/ treating breast cancer, fibroids and cysts.
  • Cortisol
  • Melatonin

Complete Thyroid Test

Most women are told by their doctors that their thyroid is “fine” based on doing a TSH test which stands for thyroid stimulating hormone BUT it is important to do a complete thyroid test as just testing TSH can miss many women with low thyroid.

At Planet Naturopath we test:

  • TSH
  • T4
  • T3
  • Reverse T3
  • Thyroid antibodies

This gives you a complete picture of your thyroid health, thyroid problems can be the underlying cause of imbalances in your sex hormones.

Improve Your Digestion

You may wonder what digestion health has to do with your hormones, and the answer is plenty!

Hormones like estrogen are metabolised in the liver and cleared out of the body through your digestive system. If there are issues with liver detoxification or if you have “leaky gut” this is going to affect the metabolism of hormones, and in particular estrogen.

Signs and Symptoms of Digestion Dysfunction Include

  • Diarrhea
  • Constipation
  • Reflux
  • Bloating
  • Gas
  • Indigestion
  • Nutrient malabsorption
  • Headaches
  • Fatigue
  • Skin problems
