Believe it or not, a number of personal care products contain endocrine disruptors such as parabens and synthetic fragrance and colorings. Avoid the artificial products and choose a more natural and organic option when
possible.
Enjoy Healthy Fats
Don’t be afraid of fat, so long as it’s healthy fat you could be doing your hormones a favor. Your body needs a variety of different fats to create hormones. Healthy fats are essential building blocks of hormones. Try adding some
coconut oil, and avocados to your diet for a healthy boost.
Balance Your Omega-3 to Omega-6 Intake
Too much omega-6 and not enough omega-3 could be a recipe for hormone disruption. Avoid vegetable oils such as safflower, sunflower, corn, soybean, and peanut oil which are sources of omega-6 fatty acids. Instead, focus on getting enough wild caught salmon, chia seeds, and
walnuts into your diet to help balance your hormones.
Do you know what the common signs of a hormonal imbalance are? Many people don’t which is why these imbalances often go untreated. If you suspect a hormone imbalance you
will want to watch out for the following symptoms:

Hormones are chemical messengers that affect nearly every aspect of your health. When even one hormone is out of balance, you run the risk of causing
an imbalance to your overall health. The good news is that there are things you can do to keep your hormones harmonious.
