What is a hormonal imbalance?
Hormones are like our body's bell-ringers. When they're working well, we feel fantastic! But sometimes, due to stress, poor diet, or other factors, they can get a little out of sync, and that's what we call a hormonal imbalance. Don't worry, we'll share plenty of tips in this blog post!

5 Tips and Tools for Hormonal Imbalance
1: Food for Hormonal Balance
It's true what they say: you are what you eat! But don't worry, we're not going on a strict diet. Just add more protein and healthy fats to your daily meals! These are the building blocks of our bodies, and therefore also your hormones.
Treat yourself to a handful of raw nuts, some fruit, and yes, a square of dark chocolate for some endorphin boosts! You'll see your mood improve dramatically.
If you experience food cravings during or just before your period, skip Tony's and opt for 85% dark chocolate. That way, you won't be tempted.
2: Love and warmth
We're also seeing a cold uterus more and more often, and believe me, we don't want that! Stay warm with cozy hot water bottles and relaxing baths to keep your uterus happy and toasty, even when it's icy cold outside.
Also consider the way you dress!
Crop tops are great, but they're not friendly to our uterus. When it's warm, it means safety for our body. And safety is good for reproduction. So, it's good for our hormones too!
3: Relaxation
Besides warmth, relaxation is also important for hormonal balance. Constantly rushing, racing, and being busy is very stressful. Stress and survival aren't good combinations for reproduction. Doing this exercise daily is a good start to relaxing more (also very helpful for stomach aches and cramps!).
Daily breathing exercise:
- Sit or lie down comfortably in a quiet place.
- Close your eyes and concentrate on your breathing.
- Breathe in slowly and deeply through your nose, filling your lungs with air.
- Hold your breath for a moment.
- Exhale slowly through your mouth, releasing all tension.
- Repeat this a few times and feel yourself slowly relaxing.
4: Menstruation and strength training
When it comes to exercise, listen to your body. Save heavy workouts for after your period! You'll notice you have much more strength and energy.
What can you do? Stretching, dancing, yoga (yin yoga is great for pain and cramps), or walking in nature. So when it comes to exercise, listen to your body; save strenuous workouts for after your period!
5: Hormonal Imbalance, Supplements and Herbs
The final tip is about supplements and herbs, because in some cases the tips above aren't enough. In those cases, it can be very helpful to give your body a boost with herbal supplements.
Remember: maca, shatavari, vitex agnus, salvia extract, dong quai, and saffron. These might sound like complex names, but they're scientifically proven.
These herbs are in our new product, #13 Hormone Balance from Goldea Health , which is specifically designed to support female hormones.
Conclusion:
With simple lifestyle changes and the right supplements and herbs, you can address hormonal imbalance and give yourself a boost. Listen to your body, treat yourself to healthy foods, embrace warmth, and allow yourself the rest you need. With a little magic from the right herbs and our new tool, "Hormone Balance for Women," you'll be on your way to a life of harmony. So let's begin this journey together, because you deserve to shine!
