What are the signs of hormonal imbalances? What are the effects on your health? How can you get your hormones in balance?<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Hormonal imbalances in your body can cause mitochondrial inefficiency<\/a>. That’s a big deal. Mitochondria help you maintain your overall health by reducing the damaged and dysfunctional cells mitochondria must tackle.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Read more to learn about the problem with hormonal imbalances and how to balance your hormones naturally for optimum health.<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n

The Problem With Hormonal Imbalances<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

As you age, your body slows down its production of certain hormones such as testosterone and estrogen, resulting in an imbalance that can cause many of the undesirable symptoms we associate with old age. These symptoms include mood swings, weight gain, poor sleeping patterns, low fertility levels, and sexual dysfunction. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

(Shortform note: According to research, the body produces over 50 different hormones<\/a>, all of which contribute to essential bodily processes. While age does decrease<\/em> the production of some of these hormones, it also increases<\/em> the production of others. In addition to testosterone and estrogen, hormones that decrease with age<\/a> include aldosterone, calcitonin, growth hormone, renin, and prolactin. The hormones that increase with age<\/a> include follicle-stimulating hormone, luteinizing hormone, norepinephrine, and parathyroid hormone. People can experience several different symptoms<\/a> depending on what type of hormonal imbalance they have.)<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Asprey claims that old age isn\u2019t the only cause of hormonal imbalances. Various other factors can disrupt your hormones, such as a lack of sleep or nutrition, a sedentary lifestyle<\/a>, using personal care products made with hormone-disrupting chemicals, and taking prescription medications or hormonal birth control.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

(Shortform note: According to research, there are many possible causes of hormonal imbalances<\/a>. In addition to Asprey\u2019s list, these causes include high stress levels<\/a>; damage to the endocrine gland; eating disorders; tumors and\/or chemotherapy treatments; an underactive or overactive thyroid; and autoimmune diseases<\/a> such as Hashimoto\u2019s, Graves\u2019 diabetes, or Addison\u2019s.)<\/p>\n\n\n\n

How to Balance Your Hormones Naturally<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Asprey suggests four methods for how to balance your hormones naturally:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

1) Practice high-intensity exercises a few times a week.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

(Shortform note: While high-intensity exercise can boost levels of muscle-maintaining hormones<\/a> (such as testosterone), it can also lead to elevated levels of stress hormones<\/a> (such as cortisol). Medical professionals suggest that you can benefit from high-intensity exercises and<\/em> curb your stress hormone<\/a> levels by taking time to recover in between workout sessions.)<\/p>\n\n\n\n

2) Replace chemical-laden products with natural ones.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

(Shortform note: It\u2019s challenging to know what commercial products to avoid since they use numerous variants of and names for hormone-disrupting chemicals. Instead of trying to come up with a list of the thousands<\/em> of ingredients and names to look out for, simply try to avoid any products containing three main hormone disruptors: formaldehyde, bisphenol A (BPA), and phthalates<\/a>. Additionally, health practitioners recommend that you avoid any products that include \u201cfragrance\u201d or \u201cparfum\u201d<\/a> in their list of ingredients.)<\/p>\n\n\n\n

3) Check the effects of any prescription medications.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

(Shortform note: According to hormone specialists, there are three types of prescription medications<\/a> that are notorious for disrupting hormones: analgesics (for treating pain), steroids (for treating inflammation), and isotretinoin (for treating acne).)<\/p>\n\n\n\n

4) Find replacements for hormonal birth control.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

(Shortform note: There are a variety of non-hormonal contraceptive options<\/a> available, including condoms, sponges, cervical caps, diaphragms, spermicides, and non-hormonal IUDs. Additionally, surgical procedures include vasectomies for people with penises and tubal ligations or occlusions for people with vaginas.)<\/p>\n\n\n\n

How to Rebalance Hormones if Lifestyle Changes Don\u2019t Work <\/h2>\n\n\n\n

If changing your lifestyle doesn\u2019t help to rebalance your hormones, Asprey recommends undertaking bioidentical hormone replacement therapy (BHRT). Bioidentical hormones are chemically identical to those your body naturally produces\u2014which makes it easier for your body to assimilate them into your hormonal makeup. These hormones can be administered in various ways\u2014through injections, by taking pills, or by putting on patches or creams.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

(Shortform note: Bioidentical hormones are marketed as \u201cnatural,\u201d and therefore safer and more effective than hormones used in traditional hormone therapy. However, though bioidentical hormones originate from natural sources, such as plants or animals, they require heavy processing\u2014meaning that by the time the hormones are ready for treatment, they\u2019re no longer natural. Further, according to the FDA and several medical specialty<\/a> groups, there isn\u2019t any evidence that proves bioidentical hormones are safer or more effective<\/a> than hormones used in traditional hormonal therapy<\/a>.)<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
